Chapter 1298: Chapter 1297: I’m So Clever! Feng Shanshan, holding a high-footed cup, milled around among the wealthy young masters. However, she was just an online celebrity. How could she earn their respect? Even though she acted humbly, they paid her no mind. Yet she wasn’t awkward about it, holding a wine-filled high-footed cup and acting as if she was ’welcomed everywhere’. Actually, it was all nothing! Without the background and strength, trying to forcibly integrate into that group was simply impossible. Lin Dong, Gu Lingfei, and Tang Han, watching Feng Shanshan’s behavior, didn’t know what to say. Tang Han, in her heart, secretly said: "This Feng Shanshan, she values connections and social circles so much. Yet she doesn’t realize that right in front of her is a top-notch connection. If only she cultivated a good relationship with him, then the entire elite circle of Demon City would be eager to flatter her." "It’s laughable, she clearly has a relationship as classmates with this top-notch connection, yet she does not cherish it, but instead goes off to socialize with what she sees as some wealthy family’s young master. Truly a frog at the bottom of the well!" Despite her youth, Tang Han understood these truths well. Like her father would tell her, to make sure she got on good terms with Lin Dong. And she kept this in mind. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮 She knew, if she had a good relationship with Brother Lin Dong, then it could be worth all the connections! At the moment, Lin Dong was a bit hungry as well. So, without caring about appearances, he ran over to the table at the jewelry exhibition dinner and started eating. Gu Lingfei and Tang Han also followed him, and without any concern for their image, they started eating. Not far off, Feng Shanshan, though ignored by others, still tried her best to look as if she was ’welcomed everywhere’. Meanwhile, she also secretly glanced over at Lin Dong’s side, seeking some sense of superiority. However, she almost dropped her jaw at the sight. Because she saw Lin Dong with his recognized younger sister and his student, the three of them had run over to the jewelry banquet’s table and started eating voraciously. "Oh My God, Lin Dong is really such a countryman!" "This is a top-level jewelry banquet, where although various expensive dishes, drinks, and desserts are laid out, basically no one eats them." "But there he goes, bringing his recognized younger sister and student, eating like three famished ghosts reborn, stuffing their faces with food." "I can’t believe them!" "And Tang Mu, it must be her doing, giving him the admission tickets." "To give him such an opportunity to attend a top-level jewelry banquet, yet he doesn’t understand how to mingle for connections. Instead, he’s making a fool of himself like this!" "Isn’t Tang Mu afraid of being dragged down by him?" She kept shaking her head. At the moment, no one here was paying attention to her either. So, she hurriedly walked towards Lin Dong and his group. She wanted to stop them! After reaching Lin Dong, she spoke up reproachfully: "Lin Dong, is this how you repay Tang Mu’s kindness?" Lin Dong, still with food in his mouth, looked confused and asked, "Feng Shanshan, what do you mean by that?" "I mean, Tang Mu kindly got you an admission ticket to come here, to let you see the world and make connections. And here you are, eating dishes!" "Look around, is anyone else eating?" "At most, they’re just holding a cup of red wine, mingling from place to place. And there you go, eating like a starved ghost reborn, haven’t you ever eaten good food before?" Lin Dong, hearing this, was also somewhat impatient. Although this Feng Shanshan was his classmate, with her being noisy three times over, Lin naturally felt annoyed. He coolly responded, "What I eat is none of your business!" Feng Shanshan: !!! "Lin Dong, you have no manners at all," Feng Shanshan said angrily. Lin Dong waved his hand and said, "How I act is none of your concern." "Furthermore, those so-called connections you speak of are nothing to me." Having said that, he couldn’t be bothered to deal with her anymore. Instead, he continued to eat his food. Gu Lingfei and Tang Han, who were nearby, also looked displeased with Feng Shanshan. They thought she was really annoying! Truly deserving of a slap! If she hadn’t been Sister Tang Mu’s classmate, the two of them would have really wanted to slap her and shut her up. "Fine, I won’t bother with you, the prideful person without manners. Just don’t embarrass yourself, and drag me or Tang Mu into it," Feng Shanshan left these words and walked away a bit. Her demeanor seemed as though she was drawing a clear line between them. As if she wanted to tell others that she didn’t know the three of them! Meanwhile, in the VIP area of the jewelry exhibition’s dinner, several big shots had already arrived. For instance, He Sihai, one of the sponsors, and others such as Xiao Ya and Wu Ming. Feng Shanshan gazed from afar at these VIPs and the several big shots, her eyes full of longing. "If I could make connections with people at their level, my life would be worthwhile!" Feng Shanshan murmured. At that moment, several people in the VIP seats glanced occasionally in the direction where Lin Dong was. He Sihai couldn’t help but say, "Should we go over now and pay our respects to Master Lin?" At this suggestion, Xiao Ya and Wu Ming shook their heads. "Not now, Mister Lin doesn’t like to be disturbed." "Didn’t you see, he’s eating right now?" Wu Ming said. Xiao Ya also nodded and said, "I’ve already asked Master Lin, and he said after the jewelry dinner is over, we could meet him privately and have a good chat!" "That’s perfect, I was just thinking of asking Master Lin for some Resuscitating Pills." "..." The people spoke, occasionally glancing over at Lin Dong’s direction. This scene was also observed by Feng Shanshan from a distance. "That’s it, I’m totally convinced by Lin Dong!" "He’s embarrassing himself even in front of those top-level big shots, asking him to stop eating here!" "Just like a starving ghost reincarnated!" She thought that Xiao Ya, Wu Ming, He Sihai, and other big shots were occasionally looking over and talking as a way of mocking Lin Dong. "Thank God, thank God I walked away a bit earlier, otherwise, they’d definitely think I was one of them." "I’m so clever! Next, I definitely must pretend I don’t know them!" Feng Shanshan proudly thought this to herself. But she didn’t know what she had missed. If she had really stood with Lin Dong earlier, and those people knew she was acquainted with Lin Dong, part of his group, she would have definitely soared. Not to mention becoming the top celebrity in the entertainment circles. Becoming the top online celebrity in merchandising would have been a breeze! Alas, such opportunity was missed by her own presumptuous cleverness. And she, still pleased with herself and feeling lucky. Truly representing the saying Tang Han had for her— Frog at the bottom of the well!
