Super-rich: Spending money is just a job!

It has to be said that people in any country love gossip.

When Xiaomeng achieved first place in the overall cross-country race and a silver medal in the team event, the town where Cuiling lived was shaken, and many neighbors spontaneously gathered in front of Lin's Restaurant.

A neighborhood self-governing association also put out some banners, took out their holiday gear and streamers, and, along with Cuiling, went to the streets for a celebratory parade.

This caught Cui Ling off guard. "This... my sister represented China in the competition, and the award she won belongs to China. What are you foreigners celebrating for?"

"What's the big deal? Xiaomeng has lived in our town for a long time. And your family bought a house in our town, so you're a resident of our town, one of us. We're very proud that your sister won an Olympic gold medal. No one in our city has ever won an Olympic champion before. I heard the mayor is even planning to include your sister in our city's historical records," a kind old man from the neighborhood committee explained enthusiastically.

Cui Ling thought to herself, "Aren't people from Europe supposed to be cold and indifferent? Why are they so enthusiastic now? We're not even from your country, and you're celebrating winning a medal? How strange."

Cui Ling attributed these people's actions to the fact that they had too few things to celebrate normally, so they were just bored and decided to create drama for themselves.

Of course, Cuiling didn't mind the enthusiastic celebration and naturally launched a champion's set meal in her shop. It became quite popular, almost a local specialty. Tourists were often recommended to buy it, something Cuiling hadn't anticipated.

……

Xiaomeng achieved her goal of winning medals and rankings, and the equestrian center helped her apply for the title of International Master Athlete. With this certificate of honor, Xiaomeng was finally able to choose any prestigious university. Many well-known 985 and 211 universities in China extended offers to her.

Xiaomeng chose Antai College in Shanghai to study luxury brand management. This is a highly ranked 985 university globally. The key point is that this kind of major isn't for everyone. Even if you study it, it might not be useful unless you're extremely wealthy; otherwise, finding a job is difficult.

It suits Xiaomeng perfectly.

According to Baidu Encyclopedia, this major mainly studies luxury brand marketing strategies, luxury consumption concepts, luxury consumption psychology, luxury consumer groups, characteristics of luxury consumption, taxes on luxury consumption, luxury market segmentation, and so on, a series of courses centered around luxury management.

Xiaomeng had her sights set on this major while she was in Europe, and the curriculum seemed tailor-made for her.

Many of her current businesses are related to luxury goods, both domestically and internationally.

Only by studying relevant courses in depth and systematically can we better sell luxury goods such as antiques and jewelry to wealthy people around the world and more fully reflect the value of local luxury goods.

The key is to seriously learn how to make your products appear more high-end and expensive.

……

In September, Xiaomeng returned from Ireland and enrolled in a university in Shanghai.

Xiaomeng has successfully completed her associate's degree to bachelor's degree program, which is great news!

The members of the "Future Hidden Millionaires Group" all said she should treat them to a celebratory meal. So the group organized a gathering in Shanghai.

Many of the people in the group are long-term residents of Shanghai, so Xiaomeng has arranged the place and everyone can just come over. Some people who live in other cities and want to come join us can simply fly over.

Xiaomeng then asked for opinions in the group chat, asking everyone which restaurant they preferred for the gathering.

Some people say they're going to the Peace Hotel.

Some people objected, saying that the dishes at the Peace Hotel were just so-so, and apart from being a bit pricey, there wasn't anything particularly delicious.

Some people suggested going to a private kitchen restaurant, but no one could agree on which one. Some wanted French food, some wanted Japanese food, and others thought that when in Shanghai, one should eat Huaiyang cuisine—it was impossible to please everyone.

There was no other way; after going around in circles, everyone finally decided to eat at the Peace Hotel. At least the food there wouldn't be bad, the environment was generally considered good, and you could see the Bund.

After finishing their meal, everyone can take a leisurely stroll down to the Bund area.

Xiaomeng then drove over and booked a private room facing the river.

After all, there were about ten people in the group who were coming to congratulate her on her graduation from junior college to university, and the private room was too small to fit everyone.

She needed to see the private room in person to feel at ease.

It was a large private room with a big round table that could seat twenty people. That was more than enough.

Specialty dishes like Peking duck, eight-treasure duck, and gourd duck need to be ordered in advance, as they are not available on order.

With the help of the restaurant manager, Xiaomeng ordered more than a dozen dishes in advance. On the day of the banquet, if anyone has other requests, they can add more as needed.

One weekend in September, Xiaomeng arrived at the Peace Hotel in her newly purchased JK009. She and Sister Zhang got out of the car first, while Uncle Bi drove to the hotel's parking lot.
