Omnipotent Overlord

Chapter 10: A Promising Job

Li Mo, Im more and more sure we do not fit together. I already told you last time we are breaking up. Nothing will happen between us. Why are you so adamant? You knew Id refuse if you asked me first, so you went to my dad. This behavior makes me despise you!

Li Mo and Huang Yao strolled around the mall, with Huang Yao sporting a serious face all this time.

Li Mo was calm, as if he didnt hear Huang Yao. It wasnt like he didnt want to rebuke her, but he felt it was a waste of breath.

Huang Yao was always talking while Li Mo was always silent. Get the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏ovelbi𝒏(.)co𝒎

It seems you still cant understand.

We arent the only ones in this world. Do you see what I mean?

We are indeed not alone. Li Mo nodded.

Huang Yao saw him nod with calm and felt he was a hopeless case.

Oh my, arent they Huang, the great beauty, and Li, the athlete?

Just as Huang Yao was yapping on and on to release her pent up frustration, an amazed voice reached them. Huang Yao turned and her face couldnt help but show a bit of embarrassment.

In front of the Chanel shop stood a couple. The man was overweight with a golden chain hanging from his neck, a golden watch and a golden ring on his finger. The woman was tall and put on heavy makeup along with a waist purse. She was the perfect model of a coquettish woman. 

The man was Chen Hai and the woman Wang Lin. They were Li Mo and Huang Yaos classmates. Chen Hai even pursued Huang Yao for a time. At that time Huang Yaos heart wasnt changed and Chen Hais family didnt strike it rich, so nothing happened. 

Chen Hais father, Chen Zhengzhong was a nouveau riche. Two years ago he had nothing, but suddenly he struck rich, rising to the status of today. He even had a bit of fame as an entrepreneur in Feng City.

When the father got rich, so did the son. As such, Chen Hai instantly turned from the useless idiot, to an extravagant upstart. But the upstart him was embarrassed, since Yang Chong looked down on him. And he in turn looked down on the poor Li Mo. 

Seeing Chen Hai, Huang Yao bit her lip. She was a material girl and refused him two years ago because of he had neither looks nor money. Bit now was different. Chen Hai had the money, and although his reputation didnt match Yang Chong, but he was far better than Li Mo.

Wang Lin also, her family was no better than Huang Yaos, and now, she was with Chen Hai and was armored to the teeth with famous brands.

Seeing the sparkling Wang Lin, Huang Yao couldnt help but grow envious.

She is clearly not as beautiful as me!

Wang Lin was amazed, Beauty Huang, athlete Li, how are you here? Are you also buying a purse?

Lets buy together. Chen Hai pointed at the Chanel store.

Together!

Huang Yao lifted her head and entered with quick steps.

Chen Hai yelled, Athlete Li, come on.

Li Mo shook his head.

This purse is so nice, only 30,000. Wow, this is also nice, 80,000. Ah Hai, Ah Hai, come quickly and help me make a choice.

Wang Lin was excited as she browsed, loving each purse that entered her sparkling eyes. Huang Yaos face twisted as she followed behind her with no energy.

Chen Hai was forthright, Pick yourself. If you like it, buy it.

My Ah Hai is the best. Wang Lin was unable to hide the happiness she felt.

Chen Hai raised his hand and showed off his golden watch on purpose as he said to Li Mo, Athlete Li,  I hear you and Du Fei played were boosters(TN: a video game term used for players who help others to gain points, gold, items, etc. ) or something to earn gold! Ha-ha-ha, how is it, earning a few thousand a month?

Before his dad struck it rich, Chen Hai was seen as a useless student who wasnt good at studying, nor at sports. And Li Mo, his studying was average, but was great at sports. Chen Hai calling him athlete Li, was because of this. Li Mo even was even twice champion in the 100 meters dash in Century Middle School.

Ah Hai was filled with envy over Li Mos talent. He didnt have money before and could only keep this envy bottled up in his heart. Now that he was rich, he thought himself better than Li Mo and was quite haughty in displaying it.

Li Mo said calmly, As far as I know, your cards limit is 20,000.

Chen Hai shivered, watching Li Mo with shock.

If you hadnt bump into us, youd have taken Wang Lin to buy imitations. The reason why you went it is only because you want to show off. But it never occurred to you even the cheapest bag in there costs more than what your card holds.

What did you say? I dont understand a thing you said? Chen Hai faked being at ease and shook his wrist to let his golden watch shine everywhere. 

Li Mo smiled, Your heart knows whether you understand or not.

The nouveau riche Chen Zhengzhong earned ten million RMB in two years. And although the money came quite fast, he knew it wasnt easy to earn money, so he imposed a limit on Chen Hai so that his son could only spend 20,000 a month. The fact the money on his card could never go higher than 20,000 was unknown to others. Li Mo knew it because in his past life, Chen Hai was wrung dry after an embarrassing event.

The mastermind behind that event was Wang Lin. One morning, in class, Wang Lin shrieked all of a sudden and took out her sanitary pad and slapped Chen Hai face with it. 

You bastard! Dont act rich if you have nothing to act with. What imitation goods, making me use even imitation sanitary pads! Now I got an infection!

At that time, blood was flying

Chen Hai was struck `dumb as a chicken.

Ah Hai, this purse is nice, I want it.

Wang Lin held a delicate and fine red shoulder bag. Price, 888,888 RMB, a bargain. 

Its not nice at all. Chen Hai was pale. He invited Li Mo and Huang Yao inside just to show off, to embarrass them. Who knew it would turn out like this?

Uh-uh, I want this one. Wang Lin threw a tantrum.

Listen, theres nothing nice about it. Chen Hai was so nervous his hand was shaking.

But it is. I got my eyes on this design for so long and always liked it.

Cough, anyway, I find it not at all attractive 

Li Mo walked behind Huang Yao and asked, Did you find anything you like?

There isnt one. Lets go.

Huang Yaos eyes swayed as they lost focus. She wanted to browse at first then leave. The purses here were too expensive. She was clear Li Mo wouldnt be able to buy any of these purses. 

This one then.

Li Mo took the red purse valued at 888,888 Wang Lin wanted.

Attendant, heres my card. Please wrap it.

Di~

Only when the card was accepted did Chen Hai, Wang Lin and Huang Yao woke up.

Li Mo fluttered the card in his hand and smiled at Chen Hai, Being a booster is a very promising job.

Coming out of the Chanel store, Chen Hai and Wang Lin sported dark faces, while Huang Yao held her purse with a stunned expression. Only Li Mo was calm, walking out just the way he entered.

Chen Hai said in a low tone, I really dont like that purse. I promise you, tomorrow, I will buy you a exceptional bag twice as expensive.

Wang Lins anger started to deflate.

Cough, are you all hungry? Lets go eat!

Chen Hai pointed.

It was a glamorous fine and large restaurant. It had 20 floors and was Feng Citys most outstanding 5 star restaurant, Empress Restaurant.

Chen Hai was straight as a pole.

He was proud for a good reason, because that Empress Restaurant belonged to his family.

Humph, I dont know where you came up with 800,000 to put up an act, but this time you will absolutely cant act the part. My family restaurant has some dishes that cant be bought even if you have money!

Chen Hai watched Li Mo with confidence.
