Chapter 142 Xia Yu's Gift
She admitted it herself.
The people around were slightly taken aback, then their gazes became even more strange, and some even couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"I never imagined that the top student in our class would end up having to rely on part-time jobs to make a living."
"Yeah, I've disliked her for a long time because of her studious attitude."
"So what's the use of being a good student? Haha."
The unrestrained laughter, like demonic chants, pierced Naomi's heart, and even though she was mentally prepared, she still couldn't bear it.
As the saying goes, public opinion is a fearsome thing.
When Zenta first started the SSP website, he was brought to tears by the angry comments from netizens, let alone now.
He swung his knife on the spot, each strike a critical hit.
Moreover, Naomi also has her own pride. Indeed, as they said, she doesn't have a suitable job, and compared to her previous excellent studies, she feels a great sense of loss.
Of course, with Xia Yu's involvement, she also achieved success in her career.
However, deep down I still respect this gift and feel that it is not entirely my own achievement.
"Alright everyone, there's no need to talk like that, is there?" Yoko quickly stepped in to smooth things over. "We're all old classmates, thinking back on those memories should still bring you joy, right?"
"Forget it, Yoko. Only you and that academic genius can get along. We could never have climbed such a high branch back then."
"Yes, but as you said, we'll definitely give you face."
They fell silent, but their eyes and soft laughter still reached out.
Naomi's face was very pale, and her little fists were clenched tightly.
In her gaze, the faces of her classmates and even Yoko began to distort, transforming into indescribable demons.
A voice seemed to roar from the depths of my heart: Why are you all living better than me?!
Yangzi, why don't you tell me the truth? Are you really such a materialistic and vain person?
They couldn't see the faint black mist surrounding Naomi.
That is a sign of pent-up resentment.
Once a kind person like Naomi turns evil, the dark energy she unleashes will be several times that of an ordinary person!
Just then, a familiar voice broke the noise.
"Excuse me, may I ask which one of you is Ms. Naomi?"
Xia Yu, dressed in a sharp black suit, watched the group of women with a smile.
Exquisite features, elegant posture, gentle eyes, and a tall and straight figure.
My idol!
Almost simultaneously, those two words crossed their minds.
Their eyes lit up instantly. Could they possibly meet a diamond bachelor at Yoko's party?
Naomi stared blankly at Xia Yu, unsure of what to say for a moment.
Seeing his demeanor, so different from his usual chef persona, she had a bad feeling.
That said, its appearance is quite eye-catching.
"This is Naomi. May I ask what brings you here?" Yoko was the first to react and introduced her.
"Oh, so it's this beautiful lady."
Xia Yu gave a fake compliment, which immediately made the people around him look at him strangely.
The emotions that had been gathering around Naomi gradually transformed from disdain into jealousy and curses.
"Have you forgotten your meeting with Mr. Nostra last time?"
"Mr. Nostra entrusted me with fulfilling his promise."
Xia Yu clapped his hands behind him, and Kai, also dressed in a black suit, walked over expressionlessly, carrying a tray in his hands.
The tray contained a paper agreement.
Naomi was dumbfounded again.
He almost blurted out a huge "Holy crap!" from his tiny mouth.
Yi Cao Kai also joined in the fooling around.
Is Nostra the owner of the recent Nostra Grand Hotel?
The "three slots" joke is no joke.
Xia Yu chuckled to himself and added a bombshell.
"Miss Naomi, please sign the agreement. As agreed, you will receive a suite at the Nostra Starry Sky Hotel."
silence.
silence.
Deafening!
All the guests present were so shocked by the news that their eyes widened in disbelief!
Nostra Grand Hotel is a brand that has recently emerged as a rising star.
It is known for its luxury and huge investments.
The owner, Nostra, is a mysterious figure, suspected to be a wealthy man from the Middle East.
In a short period of time, they opened several Nostra Grand Hotels and even bought all the shops on an entire street to create Nostra Entertainment City.
That alone is one thing, but the service and experience there are unmatched by any ordinary five-star hotel.
Anyway, everyone who's been there says that apart from the price being a bit high, there's nothing wrong with it.
For this reason, many elites in high society have gradually chosen this place for their meetings and gatherings, which has also given the Nostra Grand Hotel another boost in publicity.
The funniest thing is that Yoko's husband's Dongdu Hotel was suppressed by the Nostra Hotel.
Originally a leader in the industry, Dongdu was significantly affected by the rise of new players.
"You...you guys must have got it wrong," someone couldn't help but say. "Naomi is just a low-level person who works part-time jobs, how could she know Nostra?"
That's exactly what I meant.
"I suspect that Naomi deliberately hired someone to act in this play."
"You know what, it's actually possible!"
In an instant, they started chattering away again, causing Xia Yu's smile to gradually disappear.
"Miss Naomi, your status will be different from now on, so please don't hang out with these friends."
These words nearly made the group of old classmates lose their temper.
"Damn, can't you even speak properly?"
"Oh my, what kind of identity do you have? You made it up yourself, didn't you?"
"That's disgusting."
This time, Naomi didn't react much to her old classmates' arrangement; her eyes were only on Xia Yu and Kai.
Her eyes reddened.
She knew perfectly well why they did it.
I'm so touched.
But there's no need.
Even Naomi thought it was impossible for them to know Nostra.
The sound of leather shoes clicking against the tiles created a rhythmic clatter, and a mature and dignified middle-aged man walked over.
"Who is accusing me, Nostra, of fraud?"
Snap! Bang!
Someone dropped their cup on the ground, but even though it shattered into countless pieces, no one even glanced at it.
They actually saw Nostra herself!
Nostra's gaze fell on Naomi, and her stiff face immediately relaxed.
"Oh, why are you being so polite? If it weren't for your SSP video saving my life last time, I would have been dead already."
"You deserve it!"
"What SSP video?" someone asked, bewildered.
"I think I've heard of it, it's really popular lately, it's related to monsters, right?"
Have you seen it?
"I didn't, who cares about that?"
After much discussion, someone finally found the SSP website.
What shocked them even more was that this was a monster website with extremely high traffic.
And Naomi, the part-time worker they were mocking, was prominently featured in the center!
Could it be that...?
Yoko stared at Naomi in astonishment, unable to recover for a long time.
My best friend didn't seem to tell me that she was already this popular; she just told me that her career was starting to improve.
It's more than just a slight improvement.
Yoko showed envy and relief, but also a little disappointment.
I wish I were as good as Naomi.
With Nostra's personal appearance and the explosive popularity of the SSP website, Naomi's success was beyond doubt, far exceeding the group's expectations.
Their mindset underwent a dramatic shift; in short, it collapsed.
Naomi watched helplessly as Nostra personally handed the agreement to her. With just a stroke of her pen, the Nostra Grand Hotel, worth hundreds of millions, would be hers.
Why is all this wealth being rushed to be given to Naomi? Why not to me?
Everyone's jealousy reached its peak at this moment, and some even cursed Nostra, saying that he was blind.
To everyone's surprise, including Nostra's own, Naomi didn't sign!
She did hesitate, but ultimately decided to give up.
"I'm sorry, I appreciate your kindness."
"But I won't take what doesn't belong to me."
Nostra looked at the human woman before her with a hint of surprise.
When Xia Yu made the call, he naturally complied, understanding that he was helping this woman to regain her dignity.
In fact, he could smell the stench emanating from those flamboyant women from a great distance.
Unexpectedly, this windfall, which was a boon to humanity, was rejected.
She glanced at Xia Yu out of the corner of her eye and saw him nod slightly.
Nostra understood.
"It's a pity, but I respect your choice."
He nodded with a smile and slowly led Xia Yu and Kai away from there.
"Naomi, do you remember me? Back in school, I always wanted to ask you to copy my homework."
Someone immediately started to approach her shamelessly, as if the previous mockery had nothing to do with her.
Naomi gave a stiff smile and left for the time being.
She needs some peace and quiet.
Yoko stepped forward as if to say something, but Naomi had already walked away.
A mix of emotions swirled in her mind, and before she knew it, she had arrived near the Wishing Stone.
Looking from afar, it seems like a familiar figure is sitting there.
