"What are you laughing at? Tom is really the chairman of ZQ Media!" Kaylie was so angry that she said with arms akimbo and a pout. She looked so cute.
Elsa looked at Kaylie sympathetically and sighed, "Kaylie, have you suffered any emotional shock recently? I know your family has put a lot of pressure on you, but you have to take care of yourself."
Kaylie said anxiously, "Elsa, listen to me. Tom is really the chairman of ZQ Media. If you don't believe me, you can find the photos online."
Elsa was not the only one who thought Kaylie was mentally ill. Others also thought so. It was a pity that such a beautiful woman had a mental problem.
Elsa said bitterly, "Kaylie, it's my fault. I shouldn't have asked you out for dinner. You've been staying at home for too long. Alas! Kaylie, I know a psychiatrist who is quite good. Why don't I take you to that doctor today?"
Elsa thought that Kaylie was mentally ill and needed to see a psychiatrist.
Several other friends who were having dinner with them said the same, and their eyes were filled with sympathy when they looked at Kaylie. As for Tom, they ignored him directly. They never believed that Tom would be the chairman of the ZQ Media.
It was as ridiculous as someone randomly pointing at a beggar on the street, saying that the beggar was a god.
Kaylie had never been so aggrieved. She was telling the truth, but no one believed her. Instead, they thought she was mentally ill, which made her so anxious.
"Tom, say something! They don't believe you're the chairman of ZQ Media." Kaylie held Tom's arm and said anxiously. It was so uncomfortable to be misunderstood!
Tom smiled bitterly and said, "Does it matter if they believe it or not?"
"Yes!" Kaylie nodded hard, "They're looking down on you. Don't you want to embarrass them?"
"What's the point of embarrassing them?" Tom said with a smile, "They are just nobodies. What difference does it make to me whether they believe it or not? The most important thing is to be calm, not pleased by external gains, not saddened by personal losses."
Tom explained his philosophy of life. He had gone through so much, so he was more and more indifferent to what others thought and said about him. He only had to live his life the way he wanted. Thus, He didn't care about the misunderstanding and contempt of Elsa, Tristan and others.
Unfortunately, when others heard his words, they took them as signs of cowardice, especially Tristan. He smiled even more sarcastically and wantonly, "Hahaha, I have widened my horizon today. How can you be so shameless? You are obviously a poor guy, but you pretend to be very sophisticated. If you are really so awesome, prove to us that you are the chairman of ZQ Media. I think you are the one who cleans the toilets for the ZQ Media. Haha!"
Others laughed when they heard Tristan's words, and the air was filled with joy for a moment.
Kaylie was so angry that she trembled and wanted to hit Tristan in the face!
Tom didn't want to lower himself to the same level as Tristan. He said to Kaylie, "Let's go."
Kaylie couldn't understand why Tom could be so calm. Wasn't he angry at all? Tom was the chairman of ZQ Media, and he was able to embarrass Tristan. She still remembered very clearly how powerful Tom was at the engagement party that night, holding the whole audience in awe and making Martin and Rory beg for mercy. Why did he become so timid now? This was not Tom's character at all!
