This man was holding a selfie stick, and his hair was dyed yellow. As a man, he had a plastic surgery face.
Beside him, there was also a woman with yellow hair.
"Hahaha! Sorry, sorry. My bodyguard was a bit rude."
The man walked up with a smile, but there was no sign of apology on his face. Instead, there was a hint of contempt.
The onlookers around, after seeing this man, started whispering to each other.
"So it's Wang Teng. He's a big internet celebrity with tens of millions of fans."
"He's also a top - tier second - generation rich kid. He has a whole bunch of luxury cars and spends over a million on a single meal."
"So what if he's rich? Just because he's rich doesn't mean he can push people around!"
...
The people around were all talking and expressing their own opinions.
"Dude, what you said just now was right, but it's wrong to swear. Let me tell you, this place was built by taxpayers, and the amount of tax paid varies."
Wang Teng showed a contemptuous smile. "Maybe the tax your family pays in ten years is less than what I pay in one day."
"Exactly! According to your logic, the tax you pay is just like a single blade of grass here, while Young Master Wang is like this entire road!"
The long - haired woman beside Wang Teng also chimed in with sarcasm.
"Okay, forget it. I'm fine."
At this time, Ye Tong walked over and gently pulled Xu Mu's arm.
"No! I really want to see today which big shot dares to say that the tax my family pays in ten years is less than what he pays in one day."
Xu Mu showed a faint smile.
"Hey, dude, ten years is an understatement. Do you know who Young Master Wang is? He's a top - tier second - generation rich kid in the country."
The long - haired woman beside him laughed.
"Do second - generation rich kids also make money from live - streaming? Is this some kind of experience of life?"
Xu Mu asked calmly.
"What? Who says second - generation rich kids can't do live - streaming?" Wang Teng still acted arrogantly.
"Since you're a second - generation rich kid, what's your family's company? I'll check it online." Xu Mu took out his phone.
"This is my secret. Why should I tell you?" Wang Teng laughed.
"I'd like to ask, which live - streaming platform are you on and what's your name?" Xu Mu said calmly. "This isn't a secret, right?"
Xu's Group had invested in several domestic live - streaming platforms.
This was also the only successful investment that the villain Xu Mu had made before.
Xu Shou was a relatively traditional businessman and couldn't accept the new thing of live - streaming.
The villain Xu Mu had brainwashed Xu Shou at that time, and finally Xu Shou invested tens of millions. Unexpectedly, it really made money in the end.
"Wang Teng, Beach Live - streaming." Wang Teng shrugged.
"Good. It just so happens to be a local enterprise in Yang City."
Xu Mu took out his phone and made a call.
A man's voice came from the other end. "Young Master Xu, what are your instructions?"
"Call the boss of Beach Live - streaming. I want to know who Wang Teng really is." Xu Mu said and then hung up the phone.
"Hey, dude, are you trying to scare me? There are hundreds of thousands of viewers in my live - stream room. You'll be in an awkward situation then."
Wang Teng wasn't angry. Instead, he thought this incident was perfect for hype and could boost his popularity.
He planned to stay here and let his fans watch the show.
"It's okay. I have a thick skin."
Before this, Xu Mu had been approached by an internet celebrity company to invest, and he had actually invested a few million.
He knew all the tricks inside.
Most of the female internet celebrities who didn't show their faces online were not very good - looking.
Because it was a woman's nature to like being pursued.
If a woman was really beautiful, she would be eager to let people know what she looked like.
There might be some women who would argue that they were conservative, but conservative women wouldn't even want to become internet celebrities.
And people like Wang Teng were the same.
Most of the second - generation rich kids who didn't expose their real identities were not real second - generation rich kids.
The internet celebrity company that Xu Mu had invested in was specialized in creating the persona of second - generation rich kids.
In this world, ordinary people were in the majority.
So most people were curious about high - quality lifestyles and wealth.
If you packaged a wealthy person and showed them living a luxurious life, like driving luxury cars and having private planes, they could quickly gain fans.
The boss of that internet celebrity company had told Xu Mu in person.
This kind of second - generation rich kid persona could gain fans faster and have a higher profit - making effect than creating female internet celebrities.
After the persona was successfully established, most people would think that the person was a second - generation rich kid, and they could attract high - end brand collaborations.
There would also be a high premium in live - streaming sales because people would think that if such a rich person was using a product, it must be a good one.
After getting stronger, they could even create their own personal brands.
By then, they would become real second - generation rich kids, although most of the money would be earned by the company.
"Hey, bro, is it still not done? Do you know how much money I make per second?" Wang Teng asked with a smile.
"Look, the message just came. Wang Teng, formerly known as Wang Dazhuang, from Shangan Village, graduated from junior high school."
Xu Mu looked at the message and said calmly.
Hearing this, Wang Teng's face immediately turned ugly. He pretended to be calm and said, "What are you talking nonsense about?"
Xu Mu looked at the message on his phone and then laughed. "Tianxia Media? What a coincidence. Now I'll make Zhao Jian come here right away!"
Hearing the name Zhao Jian, Wang Teng's face instantly turned pale. This was the name of his boss.
Could it be that he had offended a big shot?
The people around were all shocked at this moment, and many of them took out their phones to take pictures.
Especially Wang Teng's pale face. Everyone knew that this time he might have bitten off more than he could chew.
"Zhao Jian! Is Wang Teng one of your people?"
Xu Mu turned on the speakerphone and asked into the phone.
Even though they were in a scenic area, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. Everyone wanted to hear what the person on the other end would say.
"Young Master Xu, he's one of my people. What happened to him?"
Zhao Jian's voice came through.
Hearing this, Wang Teng was so scared that he immediately turned off the live - stream. This was definitely the voice of his boss.
"He offended my wife! And he said that the tax my Xu family pays in ten years is less than what he pays in one day."
Xu Mu said calmly. "Zhao Jian, it's only been two years since we last met, and the internet celebrities under you have become billionaires?"
"Young Master Xu, I'm on a business trip outside the city and can't come back. Give the phone to him!"
Zhao Jian was so scared that his voice was trembling.
"Just say it. He can hear you." Xu Mu looked at Wang Teng.
Wang Teng didn't even dare to meet Xu Mu's eyes. He never thought that after pretending for so long, he had run into a real big shot.
"Wang Teng! Are you looking for trouble? How dare you offend Young Master Xu from Xu's Group? Apologize to him!"
Zhao Jian roared over the phone.
Wang Teng was so scared that his legs went weak and he almost knelt down.
The onlookers around were all extremely shocked.
"Xu's Group? Is it the group that recently produced weight - loss pills? Those weight - loss pills are really good. I'm taking them now."
"Xu's Group is not just about weight - loss pills. They're involved in manufacturing, finance, and real estate. They're a giant in Jiangbei."
"Hahaha! The fake second - generation rich kid has met a real one!"
...
Hearing the mocking laughter from the people around, Wang Teng knew that something bad had happened.
Since he had created this second - generation rich kid persona, he had even started to believe it himself because his salary had indeed been increasing.
From a few thousand yuan a month at the beginning to over a million a year now.
If it weren't for the company's commission, he could have reached the ten - million - level mark.
He had really gotten carried away. It wasn't until today that he realized the vast gap between himself and the truly wealthy.
Xu Mu looked at Wang Teng and continued, "Do you know that when your company was just starting out, you couldn't afford to rent luxury cars and borrowed mine instead."
"Master Xu, I'm sorry! I failed to recognize your true worth."
Wang Teng immediately lowered his head, and his back was soaked with sweat.
As for the long - haired woman beside him, she was so ashamed that she quietly slipped back into the crowd.
"Who are you apologizing to? Apologize to my wife and to everyone!" Xu Mu said, with his hands in his pockets.
The people around cheered and burst into enthusiastic applause.
"Truly a scion of a noble family! Such a strong sense of right and wrong!"
"Just based on his character, I'm going to try a few boxes of diet pills."
"He's so handsome, but it's a pity he's married!"
...
[Favorability + 30]
Hearing the praise from the people around, Ye Tong was overjoyed.
[Favorability + 20]
Ye Yu also smiled. She even began to envy her elder sister.
Xu Mu was standing up for his sister and protecting his woman. A man like that was really handsome.
[Favorability + 10]
Meng Wanyue also stole a glance at Xu Mu. This man was truly outstanding.
