I Go to the High Seas for Fishing But Get Hunted by an Aircraft Carrier
Chapter 227 Human Jealousy

Chapter 227: Chapter 227 Human Jealousy

Ye Chen: "@Lao Liao, what are you talking about? Take a look, what car is this?"

Ye Chen immediately sent the photo of the Land Rover Defender he took earlier in the front yard to the group chat.

The old men in the group chat exploded when they saw this black Land Rover Defender.

"Holy mother!!!"

"Mr. Ye has got a Land Rover? Did he skip streaming today to pick up the car?"

"Why didn’t you tell us, we also want to check out the Land Rover store..."

"Mr. Ye has really upgraded his gear, huh? You must have made a bundle lately?"

"Mr. Ye, I’ll send you a photo of my daughter privately in a bit. She’s in college abroad, and I think you two would be a good match!"

"Old Jin, you’re shameless, your daughter abroad doesn’t need your worrying. @Ye Chen, take a look at my daughter, she is the head nurse at a local hospital in Jiang City, she’s only three years older than you, but as the saying goes, a woman three years older is like a golden brick, shall I introduce you?"

Lao Liao: "Go away, stop sucking up here. @Ye Chen, tomorrow I’ll get my granddaughter to bring the bucket again, and could I borrow this car tomorrow?"

Old Zhang: "Look at you Lao Liao, are you selling out your granddaughter for the sake of driving a Land Rover?"

Ye Chen: "@Lao Liao, have you forgotten that today your granddaughter lost another seven days to me?"

Lao Liao: "Holy mother!!! Ruthless!!!"

After chatting with these old men in the group for a while, it unwittingly got dark.

Ye Chen turned on the crystal chandelier hanging from the ceiling, enjoying the shiny golden light, sitting in the living room playing with his phone.

However, it didn’t take long before he noticed some news online about himself.

He clicked into Weibo and found the trending topic list looked like this.

"Famous streamer Ye Chen spotted today at Land Rover 4S store, paid in full for a new Land Rover Defender!"

"The positive-energy fishing streamer Ye Chen gets a new Land Rover, we are the clowns!"

"No desire to struggle alongside big bro, but also scared big bro suddenly gets a Land Rover..."

"How much money does a fishing streamer actually make?"

"As a public figure in Jiang City, is it appropriate to drive a luxury brand like Land Rover?"

Seeing these hot searches about him on Weibo, Ye Chen was briefly dumbfounded.

Damn...

It has only been six hours since he got the car.

And he’s already trending?

And several trends at that!

Truly, it is the era of internet information, anything can become nationwide news in no time!

Sometimes having too many fans isn’t really a good thing...

The attention he’s receiving now is probably more than most celebrities.

After all, not many celebrities can stay dominantly on the trending list for several days straight.

But seriously.

These netizens truly have too much free time, even getting out to buy a car can get covertly photographed...

Ye Chen clicked into one of the hot searches and saw the covert photos taken by netizens.

In the photo, he was riding his previous bright blue tricycle.

Wearing sunglasses, a fancy suit, with flip-flops on his feet.

Not gonna lie, he really did have some presence.

But when he was pictured driving the Land Rover Defender out of the 4S store, he seemed to have even more.

It appears to be true, clothes make the man, and a luxury car boosts a person’s presence even more.

Ye Chen then scrolled through the comments section under that Weibo post.

The initial comments were quite normal.

Some netizens mentioned that it was expected for Mr. Ye to buy a car.

After all, he couldn’t ride that tricycle forever.

But then, some sarcastic remarks started to appear.

Although these sarcastic commenters didn’t dare to blatantly criticize Ye Chen, he found the comments quite silly.

"Ha, it’s really true, crows everywhere are equally black, once a streamer makes money, it has to be luxury cars and mansions!"

"They really have the ability, man, if only I were rich, I’d also be like this streamer, spending big!"

"This Land Rover is truly the trademark of the nouveau riche, once they get unexpected wealth, this group always opts for a Land Rover."

"I feel like this streamer is getting arrogant. Overnight fame, and in less than a week, he gets a Land Rover? All the gifts you sent are now parts of his car!"

"Don’t mention it, I also contributed to this car, I at least contributed a wheel! Ha, not bad, streamer!"

"Both a villa and a luxury car, I originally thought this streamer was down-to-earth, but it turns out I’m the clown!"

"I’m truly stunned, yesterday the streamer said he’d take a day off, I thought he was resting, but he sneaked off to the 4S store to get a Land Rover, that’s really too much!"

"I started following this streamer when he fished up a corpse, he felt so genuine then. Now, I feel he’s getting arrogant, it’s really a peculiar feeling."

"Hey, people get arrogant once they make it, haven’t you heard? Once someone gets a windfall, they inflate a bit, how long it lasts is anyone’s guess!"

"Maybe his image is about to collapse. I felt from the beginning that this streamer would eventually start collecting wealth heavily, but I didn’t expect it to be so rampant!"

"Alright, before the fame, Ye Chen was just an ordinary fisherman, and even often unsuccessful. After gaining overnight fame from fishing up a corpse, within less than a week, he got both a mansion and a luxury car, guess he is just lucky?"

"That’s just luck, but honestly, I’m curious why no one online questions him? Can the world really have such coincidences, approaching a week now, fishing up those outrageous things every day?"

"Shush! Above commenter, don’t mention this, aren’t you afraid this streamer might retaliate against you? Didn’t you see what happened to that hater Cui Ruogou before?"

"Funny, are we not even allowed to question now? This streamer’s got some nerve!"

"How do you question him? Right now, he’s twice made the news and is a notable person, even considered a hero in Jiang City’s archeology circle!"

"Even though he has done a lot of good for society, this car really is a bit too conspicuous. If he had bought a domestic brand SUV, I wouldn’t mind, but getting a Land Rover right off the bat, I really can’t accept it, unfollowed!"

"I unfollowed too, nothing interesting to see, fishing up those outrageous things, and in the end, it’ll probably be revealed it was all a staged script!"
