644 Looking Down on the Wrong Person

This young man was dressed in a French designer tailored suit; extremely extravagant and intimidating. It was obvious that he was the leader of the group. He was also the popular Master Zhou in those women's conversations. One 'hmph' from him and those around him all quieten down. 

The man that wore Patek Philipe quickly glared his female companion and barked, "Stupid woman! What the f*ck did you just say? Do you mean that Master Zhou is beneath that retard?"

"NO! That's not what I meant… Master Zhou is a million times better than him in a million ways!" The woman went pale with fright. She quickly explained herself, "I meant to say that Wenyuan has lost her mind, that's why she rejected Master Zhou!"

"Next time, make it clear!" Zhou Huajiang waved her off. His darkened face lightened up a little. 

"Yes… I will certainly remember that!" The woman nodded urgently.

Even though she was a minor movie star, when in Zhou Huajiang's presence, she was as humble as a common person.

It was conceivable that Zhou Huajiang's status was not at all lowly. In fact, he might be even more influential than these little movie stars.

With Zhou Huajiang's anger dissipated, the crowd began to relax and began to chide Chen Xiaobei.

"That guy is nobody! All you need to do is take one look at him and you'll know! He is not even worthy to be in Master Zhou's shoes!"

"That's right! Master Zhou don't even need to lift a finger to crush him! Crush him a hundred times!"

"Right! This time, we'll make that asshole crumble! Then Wenyuan will surely run into Master Zhou's arms!"

...

The crowd continued to disparage Chen Xiaobei, and applaud Zhou Huajiang like he was Bodhisattva.

But Zhou Huajiang could not be bothered with them – he was busy seizing up Chen Xiaobei.

"Xia Tao, why do I get the feeling that I've seen this idiot before? Does he not look like that Chen Xiaobei, the recent heavy hitter?

Zhou Huajiang said under his breath, "If that's the guy, we definitely cannot touch him!"

"There's no way that's him!" Xia Tao shook his head and said, "Chen Xiaobei is now way too famous to come out in broad daylight! He would've been swarmed by the paparazzi!"

After a while, Xia Tao added, "In fact, Wenyuan is only but an entertainer under Qin Cheng Entertainment and Chen Xiaobei is Qin Cheng Entertainment's president's fling! There's no way Wenyuan would dare to try and take her man!"

"Hm... That's right." Zhou Huajiang quickly nodded and said, "Boss Song is not just any person! Her background is scary – she is a woman of extreme capabilities! Nobody in the company dares disobey – even when she had just taken over Xi Xiang Entertainment! Wenyuan wouldn't dare to do such a thing!"

"This guy is surely not Chen Xiaobei!" 

The actresses next to them piled on, "We've seen on him on Weibo before! This guy lacks the air of dominance that Chen Xiaobei has! He's way too different from Chen Xiaobei! He merely looks like him. That's it!"

Zhou Huajiang narrowed his eyes and said coldly, "As long as that idiot is not Chen Xiaobei! If not, I really wouldn't dare lay hands on him!"

The actresses bobbed their heads discreetly, knowing full well how powerful Chen Xiaobei was.

But the group of filthy rich youngsters were absolutely clueless and asked curiously, "Master Zhou, is Chen Xiaobei as powerful as they say he is? Isn't he just another kept-man? Surely a man of your standing can squash him like a bug?"

"You have no idea!" Zhou Huajiang lowered his voice and said, "Director Feng and Boss Song exalt Chen Xiaobei! It's not a coincidence that he became the number one actor in the entertainment world! That means that he is China's number one celebrity! I'd be lucky if I could rub shoulders with him! How could I even think of crushing him? That's a pipe dream!"

"The hell! That's way too good to be true!" Those filthy rich youngsters gasped.

Their statuses were all lower than Zhou Huajiang so if even Zhou Huajiang can only hope to be in passing contact with Chen Xiaobei, there was no hope for them!

"That's not all!" Zhou Huajiang furrowed his brows and said solemnly, "Chen Xiaobei has singlehandedly performed those special moves in the movies without any special effects! His ability is one hundred percent real! His abilities are supernatural! I'm afraid he is an elite of a highly reputable faction in Jianghu!"

"What?! Chen Xiaobei really is an elite from a faction? Oh my god! That's even more unthinkable!" Their mouths hung open in a wide 'O'.

In their eyes, Jianghu elite was just like those masters the martial arts movies with remarkable abilities! They were usually not restricted by the norms in society – making them a higher level human.

"Who would've thought that Chen Xiaobei would've such an important identity!"

"Thank god you filled us in. If we ever meet him, we must treat him like our master!"

"Yeah! We cannot afford to cross someone of his standing! We'll butter him up if we ever get the chance!"

...

They could not help but voice their respects for Chen Xiaobei.

Just then, Wenyuan walked over together with Chen Xiaobei. "Everyone, let me introduce you to my boyfriend, Chen…"

"Oh, Little Chen is it? There is no need for introductions!" 

Xia Tao cut her off mid-sentence and said, "Let's go! The car's ready. We need to get to Mount Tom Hunting Field before noon! Master Zhou's friends are waiting to have lunch with us!"

"Yeah! Let's go now! Master Zhou's friends are big shots! It wouldn't do us good to be late!"

The crowd quickly dispersed, not even so much as glancing at Chen Xiaobei.

None of them would have been able to figure out that the guy that they were deliberately ignoring was the Chen Xiaobei they so admired and respected!

How ignorant!

"Hey! Come back… Urgh… I'm so pissed!" Wenyuan snapped.

"Wenyuan, we don't need their approval." Chen Xiaobei wore a look of complete placidity. "I came here today to be with you. I cannot be bothered to fraternize with this bunch of nobodies."

"Xiaobei, you are so imperious! Let's ignore them and have fun on our own!" Wenyuan smiled, already forgetting about what had just happened, took his hands and led him to the car.

...

As he drove, Chen Xiaobei asked, "Wenyuan, they are a bunch of no-goods. Why do you hang out with them?"

"Because Zhou Huajiang wants to pursue me! He paid all my directors to make me go out with him! Also, I was thinking of going on a trip myself, that's why I agreed to come." Wenyuan fluttered her glistening eyes at him and said slyly, "At least I have Chen Xiaobei with me. Then Zhou Huajiang wouldn't be able to cause any trouble!"

"You are such a sly elf," Chen Xiaobei laughed affectionately and said, "Why are we going to the hunting ranch? It sounds pretty interesting."

"I've never been there." Wenyuan pouted and said, "Zhou Huajiang boasted that that was where the emperors used to hunt. Then some VIP donated a piece of land and made it a private hunting ranch. And it's very exclusive."

"VIP?" Chen Xiaobei narrowed his eyes. "This is the direction to Xuanjian Faction."
