As soon as she walked back to the classroom, Kong Lian could hear praises for her.
"Ahhh! Lian Lian, you are so amazing."
"As the student representative giving a speech on stage, that's so awesome."
"I heard that there will be TV stations coming this time, and the school also invited some young entrepreneurs who graduated from our school."
"The fact that Lian Lian can represent all the students means what?"
"It means our Lian Lian is awesome, and will definitely become an outstanding entrepreneur in the future."
Kong Lian quietly listened to the flattery around her, with a faint smile on her face all along, giving people a comfortable feeling of being not arrogant.
Compared to her liveliness, Ren Ran's side was much quieter.
As the school anniversary celebration approached, the atmosphere on campus became more and more warm. Decorations were everywhere, and the focus of students' discussions was no longer on study or celebrities, but more on what kind of performance each class would put on for the anniversary celebration, which class's performance was more worth looking forward to, and interesting stories from past anniversary celebrations.
After morning self-study ended, Kong Lian came in late today. She looked radiant today, which was probably what people called being in high spirits when something joyful happens.
"Kong Lian, what are you wearing on your wrist?" Hu Xiyue's eyes were sharp and she noticed the watch on her wrist at a glance.
Kong Lian very casually said, "My dad brought me a little gift when he came back from overseas recently."
Ren Ran glanced at it and couldn't see it clearly, but roughly knew what kind of watch it was. A Patek Philippe diamond watch, worth at least over 2 million yuan.
This was her good father, easily giving expensive gifts worth millions to his illegitimate daughter.
In contrast, her own father was extremely stingy.
In recent times, her mother had been bleeding her father Kong Liqi dry. Now it seemed he still had a lot of private assets.
She couldn't let him take it away. She had to find a way to make him cough up all of that money.
At this moment, Kong Lian was oblivious that her deliberate showing off would plant a bomb for her father.
"I just searched online, this watch costs over 2 million yuan."
With this price revealed, classmates who were previously buried in their schoolwork universally lifted their heads to look at Kong Lian's wrist.
"Oh my god, that's like wearing a whole apartment on your wrist."
"Over 2 million yuan, for just a watch."
Hu Xiyue looked at the watch, her eyes shining, "Can I try it on?"
Kong Lian directly took it off and gave it to her, "You can try wearing it."
Hu Xiyue was overjoyed and carefully accepted it.
"Does it look good?" Hu Xiyue deliberately showed off to the surrounding classmates.
Given the price, even if it didn't look good, it would look good.
Zhao Yi couldn't stand to see Kong Lian's smug manner, because it hurt her eyes.
"It's just a watch, what's there to show off about."
Guo Tongwen chimed in, "Next time, Ran Ran can also wear an even more expensive one."
Before Ren Ran could speak, Lin Xiaoyi smilingly said, "If Ran Ran really wore one, it would be lowering herself, and people would say she is following the trend."
Lin Xiaoyi's words spoke her mind.
Wearing a watch didn't represent anything. Watches of that level were common in her mother's room.
Hu Xiyue deliberately walked over to Ren Ran's side with the watch on, deliberately sticking out her hand, and asking Lin Xiaoyi, "Does it look good?"
These words were clearly aimed at Ren Ran rather than Lin Xiaoyi.
Ren Ran really wanted to laugh, a smile already curling her lips, but when she noticed a flaw flash by the side of the watch, so quick that she thought her eyes were playing tricks, she held it in.
