Su Bai's Investment Track Record Leaves the Rich Second Generation in Awe

After a few rounds of drinks, the atmosphere loosened up.

The young masters and princesses began complaining about the various frustrations in their lives lately.

It was the usual—getting into conflicts while street racing or butting heads with their parents.

Liu Chen'ang found it all rather dull.

Though these wealthy heirs appeared worldly and well-traveled, with seemingly broad horizons,

Liu Chen'ang couldn't help but feel their worlds were actually quite small.

Having never experienced real hardship—not even stressing over college entrance exams—

they’d huff and puff at the slightest setback.

Their emotional maturity felt stunted…

Yet they still loved pretending to be sophisticated.

Liu Chen'ang maintained a polite smile while mentally planning to invite Su Bai for a gaming session after this dinner wrapped up.

He’d heard Su Bai often played games with Chen Yusheng, who even carried him.

Ah, how he longed to hitch a ride on that carry squad…

"Hey, Liu Shao, I heard you’re somewhat acquainted with Su Bai?" a guy suddenly asked mid-conversation.

"Yeah, you could say that… Why?"

"Ugh, that guy’s been on some investment kick lately—bought a company, partnered with Jiangcheng University’s lab… My dad keeps holding him up as a role model, telling me to ‘learn from him’ and ‘get serious’ instead of fooling around."

The guy looked torn between envy for Su Bai’s success and annoyance at his father’s nagging.

"Why not try investing too? With the market down, plenty of people are looking to sell," a girl chimed in.

"That’s the problem. Anyone can throw money around, but the trick is not losing too much while also spending in ways that please the elders. Ugh, reading their minds is impossible."

The rant earned unanimous nods from the group.

Sometimes, the wealthy elite weren’t the most patient teachers for their heirs.

Having clawed their way up from nothing, they had instincts and intuition their sheltered offspring simply lacked.

Even when the younger generation tried their best, the results often just spiked their parents’ blood pressure.

How many second-gen entrepreneurs had burned fortunes on failed ventures?

Ironically, the ones who only partied and shopped were practically frugal by comparison.

After all, lavish lifestyles still couldn’t drain money faster than a startup going under…

Yet knowing all this, no one at the table had cracked the code to parental approval.

Misery, it seemed, wasn’t a universal language.

"Blame Su Bai. He should’ve just stuck to chasing girls—why’s he grinding so hard? Now we’ve got to keep up."

"Seriously! Liu Shao, tell Su Bai to chill. He’s making the rest of us look bad…"

The collective whining almost made Liu Chen'ang laugh.

So Su Bai was now the golden boy of their elite circle?

That couldn’t be right.

If anyone embodied carefree indulgence, it was Su Bai.

Sure, none of them here couldn’t afford a luxury villa like Yashige’s mountain-view townhouses.

But every expense had to be justified to their parents.

Dropping over a million a year on rent? That’d raise eyebrows.

By that measure, Su Bai lived with far more freedom than your average rich heir.

Especially that Koenigsegg worth 30 million yuan really made everyone present envy to the core.

Some people even beat around the bush and asked Liu Chen'ang if there was any chance to get in touch with Su Bai so that they could also have a taste of it.

Liu Chen'ang replied that it was unlikely. Su Bai was rather aloof.

However, what she was actually thinking about was on another level.

That car had just arrived in Su Bai's hands, and he and she had... in the car. That car was actually a carrier of Liu Chen'ang's sensitive and delicate feelings.

She hoped that as few people as possible would sit in that car.

It would be best if it could become a permanent private memory between her and Su Bai.

But this was just wishful thinking and actually unrealistic.

Su Bai's girlfriends would definitely take rides in it.

Just as Liu Chen'ang was recalling the details of that time with a faint sense of happiness on her face, the bar manager in a proper suit gently knocked on the door and came in.

"Mr. Liu, the people at table B07 in the outside booth are here to toast you. Do you think it's convenient for them to come in now?"

Normally, a single waiter is assigned to take care of a private room for the whole night.

But it was different for Liu's group. The manager himself took charge.

Liu Chen'ang was a bit helpless and nodded, saying, "Let them in."

Since she returned to China, she had such gatherings every now and then.

She didn't like to join in the hustle and bustle of such places full of indulgence. Fortunately, she could choose a quiet bar. If it were a bar with wild dancing, Liu Chen'ang really couldn't stand it.

Soon, several young people filed in.

Compared with those sitting in the private room, they looked shabbier in terms of temperament, and their expressions and actions were generally rather restrained.

The family backgrounds of these people were generally one or even several levels lower than those inside.

It was already good enough for them to come and toast Mr. Liu.

Xue Tao was also among them.

After the formal toasting, he seized the opportunity to get on friendly terms with Liu Chen'ang.

"Hello, Mr. Liu. My name is Xue Tao. Actually, we are classmates in the same class. You may have seen me in class..."

Xue Tao said, bending down with a smile on his face that was almost like a chrysanthemum.

There was nothing he could do. He didn't want to act like a sycophant either, but his father asked him to find an opportunity to get on friendly terms with Mr. Liu. It was not easy for him to be a classmate with her by chance. Why not develop some connections?

Business - oriented families always attached great importance to this aspect.

Xue Tao spoke very fast, afraid that being too wordy would arouse the disgust of the other rich guys and girls around.

Fortunately, Liu Chen'ang quickly reacted and said, "Oh, you're Su Bai's roommate, right? You often go to the canteen with him for meals."

"Yes..."

"OK, OK. Keep in touch at school in the future. After class, when you go to the canteen, you can also ask Brother Bai to call me along."

She responded indifferently and then turned to the others.

Xue Tao stepped back with an embarrassed smile. He felt rather awkward.

It seemed that he had got on friendly terms with her, but also seemed not.

What annoyed Xue Tao the most was that his impression in Mr. Liu's eyes seemed to be tied to Su Bai.

Especially the details of Liu Chen'ang's words really shocked Xue Tao.

She actually called Su Bai "Brother Bai" in front of these high - end social circles.

How prestigious was that!

In Xue Tao's eyes, wasn't Su Bai just an upstart?

Why did even Mr. Liu think so highly of him?

Could it be that they really hit it off and became close friends in such a short time?

Xue Tao was utterly puzzled and even began to have strange thoughts. Could it be that Su Bai's financial resources were to the extent that even Liu Chen'ang had to show respect?

It couldn't be.

Although Su Bai's new car was indeed quite expensive, which overturned Xue Tao's previous speculation.
