Chapter 139 Let's Talk About Dreams
"Oliver, you're the one who acts like a bully around here!" Skyview teased after sitting down. "Look, no one dares to come near me because of you!"
Due to the intimidating presence of two burly bodyguards, none of the surrounding diners dared to approach Oliver. Most of them just pointed at him from a distance, and occasionally, a few whispers reached Oliver's ears, but he didn't particularly care.
"I have no choice!" Oliver said with a wry smile, "If I don't act tough, I can't even eat in peace!"
Skyview laughed, saying, "After all, you have become a public figure. That's the price of being a public figure. Look at me, I don't have such troubles because I'm a nobody. Everyone knows you're Oliver, but no one knows who I am!"
Oliver replied, "Stop mocking me. Going the influencer route has its pros and cons!"
Skyview said, "That's why I'll never go the influencer route in my life!"
Oliver stated, "That's your luck! I used to love being in the spotlight a few years ago and created this influencer persona, but now I think it's better to keep a low profile. By the way, you must have other reasons for confronting me this time, right? It's not just to make friends, is it?"
"We can also talk about life and our dreams!" Skyview said
Oliver rolled his eyes at Skyview and said, "You're not some beautiful woman. What life and dreams are we talking about? Just get to the point!"
Skyview thought for a moment and said, "I think our mindsets should be quite similar now, right?"
Oliver asked, "How so?"
"I'm eager to make a name for myself," Skyview said, "You're also eager to prove yourself because we, the second-generation rich kids, always face envy for our unearned wealth. If we fail to demonstrate our exceptional abilities, it is inevitable that there will be gossip, which could potentially impact our future prospects
"Even we don't aspire to live in our parents' shadows indefinitely. We all long for a breakthrough, don't we?"
As Skyview spoke, he looked at Oliver with piercing eyes.
It had to be said that Skyview had a very accurate grasp of human nature.
He had indeed guessed Oliver's thoughts.
Of course, this was also Skyview's own mindset.
After satisfying material needs, people always hope to be recognized in more areas.
As met the basic survival needs, people had more complex and higher-level needs. However, most ordinary people struggled to meet even the most basic survival needs, and after a day's work, they had no time to consider more needs.
Oliver's eyes flickered, and he said, "Impossible! My career is incredibly successful! I don't need to prove anything to anyone!"
Skyview looked directly into Oliver's eyes, half-smiling, and said, "Is that really the case?"
Oliver hesitated repeatedly, then said, "Alright, I admit my career isn't as expected, but I've done my best. People always think it's easy for us second-generation rich kids to get things done, with all the information and resources at our disposal, but it's not like that at all!"
He felt melancholic.
Unconsciously, he had spoken his true feelings.
The reason Oliver was able to express his true feelings was partly due to the need for emotional release.Everyone had a need to vent; it was just that most people couldn't find the right person to vent to. The reason so many people went to church and priests were so respected was largely because believers could confide in priests, and priests, out of professional ethics, would keep their confessions confidential.
Because Oliver already had such a need to confide, combined with Skyview's psychological tactics, it worked well. Skyview carried himself with poise and grace in his interactions, despite being younger than Oliver, making him easy to get along with and putting others at ease.
So, without realizing it, Oliver had spoken his mind.
Skyview said, "The power of a team far exceeds that of an individual. With a team, the chances of success increase! The Golden Valley Alumni Association, SparkLoom, and many other organizations are alliances created by Golden Valley capitalists! These alliances are very powerful!"
Oliver laughed. "My father is a member of the Golden Valley Alumni Association, and so are Erin and Phoenix Steele!"
Skyview said, "So have you noticed a problem?"
Oliver asked, "What problem?"
"That we, second-generation rich kids, haven't formed an alliance or organization!" Skyview said, "As young individuals, we embody the hope for the future, and we are bound to achieve success! We should also have our own organization!"
