Chapter 282 Ungrateful
The people who had just arrived were all dressed to the nines, carried themselves with grace, and had an air of sophistication. The cars they drove were at least Audi A6s.
The young man standing in front of the receptionist now, asking about VIP Room 1, was clearly part of that elite group.
His status must be pretty significant too.
"Sir, VIP Room 1 is on the fourth floor. Take the elevator and it's the first room on the left," the receptionist said with a bright smile.
Noah nodded and was about to head towards the elevator when a surprised voice called out, "Noah, what are you doing here?"
Noah turned around to see a group of about a dozen people standing at the entrance. They all had press badges hanging from their necks, both men and women.
The woman who had spoken was wearing jeans and looked at him with surprise. It was Ally.
Next to her stood a middle-aged man with glasses, Sofia.
"I'm here for a meal," Noah replied calmly, glancing at Ally.
"A meal?" Ally was taken aback.
"Excuse me, how many in your party?" the receptionist asked the group of reporters with a smile.
"We've already reserved a room, VIP Room 1," Ally replied.
"What a coincidence, you all are also guests of VIP Room 1," the receptionist said with a smile. "VIP Room 1 is on the fourth floor, first room on the left."
"A coincidence?" Ally looked at Noah, uncertain. "Noah, you're not going to VIP Room 1 too, are you?"
"Yeah," Noah nodded, answering truthfully.
Hearing this, the group of reporters was stunned and began whispering among themselves.
"Is this the guy from last night's 'I Am a Super Rich' show, Noah?"
"Didn't expect to see him in person today."
"He's actually saying he's going to eat in VIP Room 1. Is he serious?"
"Noah, you must be mistaken. Are you sure you're going to VIP Room 1? That's the most exclusive room in this restaurant, and a meal there costs tens of thousands of dollars," Ally said. "More importantly, the people dining there today are the sponsors of 'I Am a Super Rich' and us reporters. What are you doing there?"
Although Ally's voice wasn't loud, the receptionist and some of the diners nearby could hear her.
"'I Am a Super Rich'? Sponsors? Noah?"
"Could it be the show I watched last night, 'I Am a Super Rich'?"
Several diners turned their attention to Noah, scrutinizing him closely.
"You're Noah!" The receptionist pointed at Noah, eyes wide, covering her mouth in surprise. She had watched 'I Am a Super Rich' last night and had been so angry at Noah, the rebellious son-in-law, that she couldn't sleep and spent the night discussing him on Twitter.
She never expected to meet him in person today!
"It's really Noah!"
"Didn't expect to see him here!"
"Is this the same Noah who's so obsessed with appearances, stingy, and disrespectful?"
Several diners recognized Noah and began whispering among themselves, their eyes showing disdain.
Noah ignored the comments, his expression unchanged.
Ally's eyes flashed, and she quickly said, "Noah, for your own good, you should probably head home. It's not safe for you to be out in public."
"Even though Eagleland is pretty safe, there are millions of people who can't stand you now. You never know if some nutjob might try something."
"I'm just here for a meal. I'll head home after," Noah said.
"You're here for a meal?" Sofia, standing nearby, couldn't hold back. He had been following Larry for the show and had always looked down on Noah.
"Even if you had ten million bucks, you don't have the right to dine in VIP Room 1," he said, looking at Noah with disdain. "The people dining there today are the sponsors of 'I Am a Super Rich,' and they're worth billions. Do you think you belong there?"
"Besides, they're celebrating the show's top ratings from last night. How could someone like you, just a regular guy picked for the show, be allowed in VIP Room 1?"
"Exactly, Noah!" Ally added, realizing something. "How did you even know we were having a celebration in VIP Room 1 today?"
"Nathan told me," Noah said calmly.
"How dare you!" Sofia's eyes widened in anger. "Noah, watch your mouth! Mr. Evans is the chief sponsor of 'I Am a Super Rich,' investing three hundred million dollars! How dare you call him by his first name! That's so disrespectful!"
As he spoke, Sofia raised his camera to take pictures of Noah. "I'll capture your disrespectful behavior and show it when your episode airs, so the whole country can see your lack of manners."
"Noah, how could you call Mr. Evans by his first name?" Ally frowned, clearly annoyed. "You need to understand that your million dollars came from Mr. Evans. He's the one who elevated you from an ordinary person to where you are now."
"He gave you ten million dollars to buy luxury cars, Armani suits, and to tip streamers. Without Mr. Evans, you wouldn't be where you are. Calling him by his first name is incredibly disrespectful and ungrateful!"
"Yeah, without the sponsors, you'd just be an ordinary person. How could you have ten million dollars?"
"Exactly, Noah, you're so rude!"
"I read in Ally's summary that you've been corrupted by money. Looks like it's true."
"You've lost all your virtues because of that money!"
The group of reporters continued to criticize Noah.
The diners and the receptionist, hearing the reporters and Noah's conversation, quickly understood the situation.
"This Noah seems to be just an ordinary person chosen by 'I Am a Super Rich'!"
"From what the reporters are saying, it sounds like he got ten million dollars!"
"How unfair! Why wasn't I chosen?"
"More importantly, he seems ungrateful! Disrespecting the sponsor!"
"The sponsor gave him a million dollars, and he's still rude!"
"The sponsor is his benefactor!"
The diners and the receptionist looked at Noah with disdain and disgust. Such ingratitude was revolting!
