"Huh?" Zhang Yaoyao suddenly frowned at that moment.

It was because she had noticed the brand of clothing Lin Yun was wearing.

"Lin Yun, are you wearing CK's clothes?" Zhang Yaoyao asked.

CK was an overseas clothing brand, not known for cheap prices. If Lin Yun's clothes were just from the CK brand, she wouldn't have had any complaints. She knew Lin Yun used to not be very wealthy but still owned a small processing factory.

Acquiring a set of CK brand clothing to impress peers while discussing business dealings seemed quite normal.

However, she recognized this outfit as CK's latest release, only on the market for about ten days. It was priced over eighty thousand and didn't even come with a discount.

She remembered this so clearly because just a few days ago, her boyfriend had taken a liking to this outfit, but didn't deem it worth the purchase.

Therefore, she had been planning to save money these days to buy it for her boyfriend.

Coming from a slightly well-off family in Shen City, spending over eighty thousand on clothing was no small feat for her.

Especially recently, she had already spent quite a bit while being with Zhang Xuan.

But, hadn't Lin Yun just recently gone bankrupt?

Xia Qingqing had even secretly lent him twenty thousand yuan, a portion of which she had borrowed from others. The news spread, and many classmates came to know that Qingqing was secretly working at a bar to repay the debt… Under such circumstances, how could Lin Yun afford to spend over eighty thousand on an outfit?

Zhang Yaoyao was quite angry.

"I guess so, why?" Lin Yun was a little puzzled to see Zhang Yaoyao's unhappy expression.

When he and Xia Qingqing had bought these clothes, he vaguely remembered the store's name, something like C and K.

"Why? You…I understand you're starting a new business, and might need to buy more expensive clothes to show off, but isn't spending over eighty thousand on an outfit a bit too excessive…" Zhang Yaoyao was tempted to bring up Xia Qingqing's issues from a few days ago, but with so many people around, she didn't want to embarrass Qingqing and Lin Yun. Holding back her rage, she spoke.

Lin Mengmeng watched puzzledly at this scene.

Lin Yun's outfit was worth over eighty thousand?

She had failed to see that it was. She simply thought his outfit looked pretty decent.

However, wasn't eighty thousand not all that expensive for Lin Yun?

Remembering that Lin Yun had charged her a million just for a bathtub, she clenched her teeth.

Such a ruthless businessman, truly too ruthless.

However, recalling that the same bathtub was sold to others for a whopping one million eight hundred and eighty thousand, she felt a bit balanced and a sense of satisfaction.

A discount of eight hundred eighty thousand? Only someone as important as her would get this benefit, right?

Ha, not only that, she also possessed a free golden card to the Qingyun Restaurant. She was capable of eating back that one million soon.

However, it was clear how much profit there was in selling the bathtubs—it had to be at least eight hundred eighty thousand.

She didn't believe it for a second that Lin Yun would sell the bathtub to her at a loss.

After so many days, just how much money had Lin Yun raked in by selling bathtubs?

And then there were the Qingyun Hotel rooms. Every day they were booked to capacity, including some worth fifty to eighty thousand a day. The profits were simply enormous.

Qingyun Restaurant, Qingyun power bank, each one was minting money.

Recently, Lin Yun had also contacted their Gold Sword Security Company to employ some high-level security bodyguards.

According to Little White, Lin Yun had also preordered luxury cars worth twenty to thirty million from his dealership.

So was an eighty thousand-plus outfit really too extravagant?

She thought it was quite cheap.

Lin Yun, with his sale and purchase of such numerous luxurious items, was known to often indulge in bottles of wine worth over ten million. Considering that, shouldn't his own clothing be more luxurious?

The eighty thousand-plus clothing, to make an impression, sounded like a joke.

Given the scale of Lin Yun's business operations, wearing an outfit worth over eighty thousand for negotiations might even have seemed cheap.

Only a bottle of his commonly consumed wine, worth over ten million, truly made an impression when displayed.

Over ten million for a bottle of wine, frankly, she was tempted to taste it.

She didn't like alcohol, but that wine, just hearing the price was enough to make anyone want to take a sip.

However, she knew better than to misuse Lin Yun's trust in giving her a free gold card, she couldn't just spend indiscriminately.

But then, Lin Mengmeng soon realized something.

Zhang Yaoyao probably didn't know that Lin Yun was now wealthy and successful, right?

Lin Mengmeng's expression was a bit strange.

Xia Qingqing was also just beginning to grasp the magnitude of Lin Yun's business.

Zhang Yaoyao wasn't aware either.

It seemed that she, Lin Mengmeng, actually knew more about Lin Yun's situation than either Xia Qingqing or Zhang Yaoyao.

This realization, for some inexplicable reason, made her feel a bit pleased.

She watched the scene unfold with a bright smile, without saying a word.

"Alright, I'll buy this outfit..." Lin Yun said with a bitter smile.

He had a vague idea why Zhang Yaoyao was so upset and knew that Xia Qingqing hadn't told her about his current situation. He wasn't upset with Zhang Yaoyao, as he understood she was only looking out for Xia Qingqing. This alone was reason enough for him not to blame Zhang Yaoyao.

However, he felt too embarrassed to proclaim his newfound wealth and so, he decided to stick to that story.

And technically, he wasn't lying.

Although Xia Qingqing had accompanied him to buy a few outfits a few days ago, he had only bought one particular CK-branded outfit.

Xia Qingqing couldn't help covering her mouth to hide her giggles.

"Alright, Yaoyao, I accompanied him to buy this outfit. He initially refused, but I insisted. You know business necessitates being well-dressed." Seeing that Zhang Yaoyao still wanted to say something, Xia Qingqing stepped forward, linked arms with her, and cooed.

"Fine, I'll drop it." Seeing Xia Qingqing's response, Zhang Yaoyao relented.

With Xia Qingqing speaking up this way, what else could she say?

Moreover, she realized she was being disrespectful to Xia Qingqing and Lin Yun by her earlier comments.

These days, she had been saving up to buy her boyfriend this same outfit. How come Lin Yun couldn't wear the same clothes? Couldn't Xia Qingqing buy this outfit for Lin Yun?

Was she looking down on them too much?

Let Lin Yun spend his money as he pleases...

Even though she realized her tone had been a bit harsh earlier, her personality prevented her from apologizing to Lin Yun.

"An outfit for over eighty thousand yuan?"

"CK brand?"

"So the guy is putting up a false front..."

"Today's girls like men who show off. No wonder he knows three such beautiful girls, given his skill at showing off..."

"Such a waste, three cabbages up for grabs. I wonder who his girlfriend is…"

"Isn't that the university beauties Lin Mengmeng and Xia Qingqing? Suddenly he's so close with two beauties, such a show-off..."

"I too want to show off..."

"You want to show off? First, you need over eighty thousand yuan!"

"I don't have it now, but with my qualifications, won't I earn it quickly once I start working?"

"That's in the future..."

Three beauties - Xia Qingqing, Lin Mengmeng, and Zhang Yaoyao standing together easily attracted the attention of many boys. Many students had noticed the situation here. When they heard Zhang Yaoyao's words, they were a bit surprised, but soon understood what was going on and started to look at Lin Yun with contempt.

Despite the contempt, many boys looked at Lin Yun with a good deal of jealousy.
