Chapter 253 - Noah the Nouveau Riche.
That ten million was transferred to Noah's other bank card.
And when Noah was recharging to buy gifts, the payment happened to be deducted from that ten million.
However, Noah didn't mind even if it was six hundred thousand, it could easily be replenished.
But upon hearing this, Thomas, on the other end of the phone, became somewhat angry:
"Noah, why didn't you tell me when you spent that ten million? I wanted to record a video and make it into a program!"
Noah felt a little embarrassed and said, "I'm sorry, I forgot."
"Well, since it's your first time, I won't hold it against you. But if there's a next time, our production team has the right to retrieve your ten million," Thomas said.
"Now tell me, where did you spend that money?"
"I used it to buy gifts for the host."
"How much did you spend?"
"Six hundred thousand."
"Six hundred thousand!"
Thomas's voice suddenly rose, "Noah, you really are rich! Spending six hundred thousand on gifts, you don't consider our production team's money as money. Well, according to the rules, you can spend that ten million freely as long as it doesn't violate the law."
Thomas sighed softly and continued, "Noah, send me the recharge records and screenshots of the gifts. I will make a video to make up for it. I already have a title in mind: 'The first thing an ordinary person does after receiving ten million is to spend sixty thousand on lavish gifts for their favorite female host, aiming to win her heart!'"
Noah helplessly sent Thomas the screenshots of the recharge and gifts.
After receiving them, Thomas said again, "Noah, do you have any plans for today? I'm afraid you might make another mistake and spend ten million without telling me."
"You know that according to the rules, we are supposed to stay in touch 24 hours a day."
"As for plans... today, I'm going to the Royal Garden to attend a ceremony," Noah said.
"The Royal Garden? That's a high-end hotel with a Gothic style, like a castle. Only upper-class people hold ceremonies there," Thomas said with a hint of laughter in his voice.
"Noah, compared to buying gifts, I really agree with your current approach. Use that ten million as a stepping stone to enter the upper class, attend the ceremony, and make connections with celebrities. By then, even if you spend all ten million, you will still know a few influential people who can help you with your future development."
Thomas was very supportive of Noah's approach.
Noah smiled and said nothing.
"Noah, when does the ceremony start? I'll go to the Royal Garden now and film your process of trying to enter the upper class and make connections with celebrities," Thomas said again.
"The ceremony starts at nine o'clock," Noah replied.
"Okay, I'll rush over now and should arrive in about half an hour. We'll get in touch then!" Thomas said.
"Great!" Noah hung up the phone and headed to the Royal Garden.
When he arrived at the Royal Garden, just as Noah parked his car, Thomas called him.
"Noah, I'm at the entrance of the Royal Garden. Where are you?"
"I'm in the parking lot. I'll be there in a moment."
"Alright!"
Noah took a step towards the entrance, where Thomas was waiting. Thomas held a camera in his hand and wore a press pass around his neck, still dressed in denim.
"Noah!"
Upon seeing Noah, Thomas immediately approached him. "I just asked the security guard. Without an invitation, we can't get in. Did you bring the invitation?"
"I did." Noah took out the invitation and waved it.
Thomas looked at Noah in surprise. "Noah, you've got some skills! You managed to get an invitation from the Benson Family, the first family of Oceanbridge City. It must have been difficult and required a lot of connections."
"It wasn't too hard." Noah smiled.
"I only have one invitation. Noah, you should go in quickly. I can't join you and will wait outside for you," Thomas reminded him.
"This is an upper-class ceremony. Although you have ten million dollars now, you were just an ordinary person before. There are certain etiquettes that you may not be familiar with. So, my advice is for you to be well-behaved and not to become a laughingstock."
"I got it!"
Noah became a little impatient. Thomas had been talking too much.
Following that, Noah walked into the ceremony.
"Hey, Noah, I haven't finished talking!"
Seeing Noah enter, Thomas shouted, feeling a bit speechless. Noah really lacked manners!
At the Wealth Square, Noah left without saying a word.
And now, he walked away again without a word.
Meanwhile, Thomas immediately picked up his camera and captured Noah.
She also grabbed her notebook and wrote a passage:
"Noah, an ordinary person who came into wealth with ten million dollars, attempts to enter high society. He prepared for this and went through many difficulties before finally obtaining an invitation to an upper-class ceremony."
"At the same time, he purchased an Armani suit, estimated to be worth around two hundred thousand dollars. But money seems to have clouded his judgment and he has developed a bit of a parvenu mentality."
"For example, just now, he ignored my advice and simply walked into the Royal Garden, clearly driven by his parvenu attitude. He believes that having money allows him to ignore etiquette and leave without saying a word."
"I guarantee that Noah's mindset will make him the laughingstock of the ceremony. Unfortunately, I don't have an invitation and cannot enter to witness this scene."
...
After handing the invitation to the security guard and confirming it was correct, Noah entered the Royal Garden.
Having been to the Royal Garden before, Noah knew his way around and found a corner to sit in, eating slowly from a fruit plate as he waited for the ceremony to begin.
In the center of the hall, there was a foreigner playing the piano, the melodious sound filling the air.
People were coming and going, all dressed in suits and looking remarkable, giving off an air of upper-class individuals.
This time, Noah learned his lesson and bought himself a suit to wear for formal occasions.
He had ordered the suit last night and had it delivered to his door from an Armani store, costing 250,000 dollars, which he paid for himself.
When Noah put on this suit, he estimated that these upper-class individuals wouldn't look at him with disdain anymore.
After all, when he previously wore casual clothes, he had received quite a bit of disrespect.
Noah didn't have a masochistic tendency, which was why he bought this suit.
The suit fit him well and was comfortable to wear.
When the guests saw a young boy sitting in the corner, eating fruit with his own company, they were slightly taken aback.
But when they saw him wearing a sharp suit, they immediately burst into laughter.
In their eyes, although this young boy had some uncivilized gestures, his clothes were expensive, Armani.
Clearly, this young boy was likely more introverted and not good at socializing.
Sure enough, there was no hint of derision in their eyes.
