Chapter 658: She Rides in My Car
A red Ferrari sports car, priced between 4 million and 5 million, driven by a young man, tall and handsome, with immaculate fashion taste, clearly a successful social elite.Such a man never worries about a lack of women; he’s the kind of man countless women are willing to line up to get, a man with priority in choosing a partner in the world of men, enviable indeed.
Perhaps because of this, the young man is very confident, carrying himself with ease and poise.
He tells Wei Yue’er to get into his car, as if it’s certain she would, showcasing his confidence.
However, in the eyes of this young man, Lin Fan, walking alongside Wei Yue’er, holds no threat at all; he even mistakenly thinks Lin Fan is a fool, because the villagers told him Wei Yue’er lives with a fool.
Lin Fan frowned, thinking, "There really are a lot of idiots in this world, they keep popping up endlessly."
"Yue’er, do you know this person?" Lin Fan asked.
Wei Yue’er shook her head, saying, "I don’t know him."
Lin Fan remarked, "Someone you don’t know, acting like he’s very familiar, he must be a fool."
Upon hearing this, Wei Yue’er couldn’t help but chuckle.
The young man made a sound of understanding, squinted his eyes at Lin Fan, and chuckled, "So he’s not a fool, but there’s no difference, a country bumpkin."
Wei Yue’er was unhappy, "Hey, who are you exactly? What are you doing here looking for me? If you keep this up, I don’t care who you are, I’ll have you leave."
The young man’s face changed briefly, then returned to normal, smiling, "I’m sorry, that was presumptuous of me, I should introduce myself. My name is Fan Zheyu, 28 years old, I graduated from Harvard University in the United States with a degree in Finance, studying all the way through Bachelors, Masters, and Ph.D. During my Ph.D. studies, I interned at Gaosheng Group, the most famous investment bank in the United States, where I earned my first bucket of gold in life. Now, I’ve returned home and work as an investment advisor at HSBC. Oh, and I should mention my family background; I come from the distinguished Fan Family in Jiangnan, sent abroad for education since I was young, receiving the best educational resources, which shaped me into this young and prominent figure."
Children of affluent families have already distanced themselves from those of the poor, receiving the best educational resources without having to worry about money. The educational barriers wealthy people create are so far out of reach for the poor, let alone the connection and resource barriers; these are unattainable for the poor. Under such conditions, these affluent children are destined to walk the path of elites.
Even the poorest children, if they complete their Masters and Ph.D., without network resources, still find it difficult to rise higher; moreover, with the increasing number of Masters and Ph.D. graduates, competition becomes fierce, and Master’s and Ph.D. degrees lose their value.
Let alone Lin Fan, an undergraduate, even those Master’s graduates who can’t make it, end up delivering food, driving couriers, plenty of them.
Sometimes, it’s not about not working hard, but you’re lacking a wealthy dad compared to a rich family’s child.
A rich family’s child, even if a fool, as long as they have resources and connections, can still occupy a high ground, let alone they have an educational advantage from a young age.
Master Xing has a movie, Master Xing plays a low-level laborer, willing to do any dirty or hard work just to earn money, so his child can attend a prestigious school. This is a typical example, a low-level poor person trying to catch up with the wealthy’s pace through sheer effort, ensuring his child does not lose to the wealthy.
However, such efforts are often wishful thinking.
The wealthy make sure their children enjoy the best educational resources without breaking a sweat, just a matter of spending money; while the poor, if they want the same, have to work hard like the character portrayed by Master Xing, exhausting themselves.
Even if the child really enjoys the same educational resources as the wealthy’s children, after graduation, the child of the poor will never start on the same line as the rich’s; the wealthy’s children, relying on their family’s network and resources, can easily leave the child of the poor far behind.
Clearly, this is something Fan Zheyu is aware of, so when he sees the impoverished Lin Fan, he instinctively shows disdain, a natural superiority from a rich child to a poor one.
From Fan Zheyu’s brief introduction, it’s clear he’s the typical rich kid, with a tone carrying a sense of innate superiority and confidence.
He seemed to think that once he made this self-introduction, no woman in the world could resist his charm.
Because he was too outstanding, indeed too outstanding.
However...
Wei Yue’er listened but didn’t seem shocked, simply replied, "I know, you are the one my brother introduced for matchmaking, you’ve come so soon, didn’t my brother tell you not to come?"
Fan Zheyu said, "Mr. Wei did mention it on the phone, but I was already on my way, so I didn’t turn back. I heard you want to go back to the city, so I thought I’d come to take you back."
Wei Yue’er: "..."
A bit speechless, she agreed to go back just to avoid this person, wanting her peaceful life in the small village preserved, yet this person still came, completely not understanding her intentions.
This person is very confident, also very arrogant.
Fan Zheyu smiled, "Yue’er, I see you’ve packed your luggage, that’s great, let’s get in the car."
Wei Yue’er replied coldly, "Sorry, I’m not getting in your car, you can go back yourself."
Fan Zheyu was a bit surprised, "Why?"
He couldn’t comprehend; Wei Yue’er was his matchmaking partner, wanting to go back to the city for this purpose, and now he’s here with a car, isn’t it perfect? Yet, Wei Yue’er wouldn’t agree to it, why?
Lin Fan said, "She’s taking my car."
Fan Zheyu was stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh, "Yue’er, tell me you’re joking? I heard country folks rarely have cars, especially in desolate areas like this, they usually drive motorcycles or three-wheelers, you’re not thinking of taking this bumpkin’s three-wheeler to the county to catch the bus, are you?"
Wei Yue’er chuckled, "Even if that’s the case, what’s wrong with it?"
Fan Zheyu replied, "Of course there’s a problem, considering our status, how can we let ourselves suffer? You can get back quickly in my sports car, why go through the trouble? We can have a nice talk in the car as well."
Wei Yue’er said, "I’m not familiar enough with you, nothing much to talk about, I’m serious, I hope you respect my choice, or else I think there’s no need for us to continue chatting."
Upon hearing this, Fan Zheyu felt uncomfortable inside, things hadn’t gone as he imagined; Wei Yue’er actually refused to ride in his car, he was so used to women throwing themselves at him, this was quite the adjustment.
"Yue’er, ever since I saw your photo, I was very pleased and think you’ll be a perfect wife, we are practically made for each other, I really hope you feel the same," Fan Zheyu said earnestly.
Poof!
Beside them, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh.
Fan Zheyu immediately got annoyed, "You bumpkin, what are you laughing at?"
