“Oh, look who it is! Hey, isn’t this the prince of garbage?”

The originally calm atmosphere was shattered by these sarcastic words.

Among those present, Chen Ming was the only one in the business of processing garbage. Naturally, it was obvious to everyone that this person was talking about him.

He looked up unhurriedly and found that the one who had mocked him was a yellow-haired young man.

The teenager was covered in tattoos, with ear and tongue studs. His yellow hair was particularly eye-catching among the attendees.

He was obviously a delinquent.

Chen Ming acted as if he did not hear him. He showed no signs of anger.

In this kind of situation, it was rather degrading to display anger due to the taunts of this kind of trashy delinquent.

Seeing Chen Ming remain indifferent, Blondie was infuriated. The people around him also started to slander Chen Ming.

“Since when could a garbage collector attend Miss Wang’s birthday party?”

“He just got invited because she pitied him.”

“Tsk tsk, miss Wang is so kind. However, this Chen Ming is so lowly. Even when I’m far away from him, I can smell the stench of garbage.”

“What a disgusting piece of trash.”

“…”

They chimed in one after another, their words getting more and more outrageous.

The rich and powerful would never pay attention to the news. Of course, they would not know about the commendation that Chen Ming had received. They only knew that Chen Ming was a garbage collector and processor.

However, these spoiled kids did not notice that the faces of their elders had turned completely dark and gloomy.

Thanks to their mockery, the atmosphere of the birthday party had become particularly strange.

Chen Ming raised his eyes and his gaze fell on the group of spoiled rich kids. He spotted Shen Muyang standing proudly in the middle of the group.

Shen Muyang noticed Chen Ming’s gaze and smiled.

“Chen Ming, right? My brothers are right. A prince of trash doesn’t deserve to be at Miss Wang’s party. You should leave as soon as possible. It’s better than having us throw you out,” Shen Muyang said proudly.

He felt great. The humiliation he suffered in the luxury store during the day was now being repaid.

However, he did not sense any fear on Chen Ming’s face.

Chen Ming put down the wine glass in his hand and raised his eyebrows.

“Using your family background to insult the so-called lower class. Don’t you know that everyone is equal. You are really uncultured and ignorant. In my opinion, you don’t deserve to be here.”

Chen Ming’s calm reply hit the nail on the head, exposing the condescending nature of these rich second-generation brats.

This made Shen Muyang and the others speechless.

They looked at each other, but before the group of spoiled kids could say anything, the elders began to praise Chen Ming.

“Not bad! Pointing out the darkness of society at such a young age.”

“This kid is so calm. I can tell that his potential is limitless.”

“He’s straightforward and isn’t afraid of conflict. This young man has a bright future.”

“…”

Many of the business leaders were full of praise for Chen Ming. When they saw this, the group of spoiled kids led by Shen Muyang did not dare to continue speaking.

They all lowered their heads like quails, afraid that these business big shots would notice them again.

While Shen Muyang was on tenterhooks, there was a commotion behind him.

Hearing this, everyone turned around in unison.

Wang Linlin was wearing a haute couture dress. Her makeup was exquisite, and her temperament was outstanding. In an instant, she became the focus of everyone’s attention.

“Chen Ming…,”

Wang Linlin had just arrived at the birthday party. As everyone watched, she held onto Boss Wang’s arm and walked over to Chen Ming.

“I’m very happy that you managed to make it to my birthday party.”

Hearing that, Chen Ming smiled politely.

“Chen Ming, you’re so young and yet you’ve already achieved so much. Your future is limitless.”

Boss Wang also opened his mouth at this moment.

“However, in the business world, you still need to be recognized by the top people in the business world to go far.”

Boss Wang was right.

The business world was interconnected.

Chen Ming nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go. I’ll introduce you to some of the most capable and influential people in the business world!”

Then, Boss Wang led Chen Ming over to a group of people.

“Everyone, this is Chen Ming.”

“He’s a rising star in the business world thanks to his ability to produce energy polymer blocks and optimized batteries.”

Boss Wang introduced Chen Ming to a group of business bigwigs with an extraordinary bearing.

On the other hand, this group of business bigshots already knew about Chen Ming. As such, when they saw that Chen Ming was introduced by Boss Wang, they also extended an olive branch to him to express their approval.

After chatting for a while, the big shots’ admiration for Chen Ming grew.

Chen Ming was also very grateful to Boss Wang.

Were it not for Boss Wang, he really would not have been able to get to know these business bigshots so easily in such a short time.

…

Shen Muyang’s face was still gloomy by the time the party was halfway through.

His group of spoiled kids no longer dared to provoke Chen Ming after the big boss’ praise for him.

Shen Muyang felt that they were cowards.

Did they not just praise Chen Ming a little? It was just done out of courtesy!

Hence, Shen Muyang narrowed his eyes and prepared to continue his mischief.

He slowly walked in front of Wang Linlin and said with a flattering smile, “”Miss Wang, why don’t you open your presents during the birthday party? It’ll be good for us to see what everyone brought, right?”

Wang Linlin frowned.

What was Shen Muyang up to now?

However, the moment Shen Muyang finished speaking, the group of spoiled kids who had provoked Chen Ming earlier chimed in to express their agreement

If a bunch of people asked Wang Linlin to open her gift, but she refused, it would make her seem petty.

Wang Linlin had no choice but to agree.

However, she did not notice the slyness in Shen Muyang’s eyes.

Of course, Shen Muyang did not notice that Chen Ming had noticed his intentions.

Chen Ming naturally knew that Shen Muyang would not dare to embarrass Wang Linlin. After all, as long as Wang Linlin felt like it, the Wang family would have a hundred ways to deal with the Shen family.

Shen Muyang’s target was, of course, him, who looked like easy pickings.

Chen Ming felt that the latter’s thoughts were written all over his face.Shen Muyang obviously just wanted to see what gift he gave Wang Linlin. If the gift was cheap, then he would be the joke of this party.

Unfortunately, Shen Muyang’s wishful thinking was destined for failure.

Chen Ming smiled as he watched Wang Linlin open the gift.

When Wang Linlin unwrapped the previous gifts, every one of them received praise. Then, when she unwrapped an ordinary-looking gift, Shen Muyang finally found his target.

“What’s this? Who brought this piece of trash here?” Shen Muyang took the lead to mock the gift.

Immediately, his followers all responded to him and mocked the gift alongside him.

This made Wang Linlin pause, and her gaze turned dark.

Who knew that the next moment, Chen Ming would slowly walk over to Wang Linlin.

“This is my gift to you. Happy birthday. I hope that it will be a blessing to you.”

Then, Chen Ming completely opened Wang Linlin’s half-opened box and took out the phoenix coronet.

The phoenix coronet was even more dazzling under the light.

At that moment, Wang Linlin could not even look away.

When she took the phoenix coronet from Chen Ming’s hands, she could not hide the surprise in her eyes. She looked at it carefully.

Beautiful!

It was simply too beautiful!

As expected, the phoenix coronet received a lot of praise.

After all, it was exquisite, and pretty much perfect!
