Chapter 953: Who Are You Looking Down On?
Oscar Price’s mother, Wendy Martin, couldn’t bear to see her son being so belittled. Everyone here is a Ph.D.; it seems like her son is the only one without culture or abilities!"Little Zoe is now rubbing shoulders with big shots. Shouldn’t she introduce a job to your cousin? Or invest some money to let him start a company? There’s already a secretary ready to help your brother develop the company. We’re all family, you wouldn’t refuse to help, would you?"
Wendy spoke with a smile, very kindly, pulling Zoe close to her side as if Zoe were her own daughter.
Zoe knew her uncle’s family had other motives when introducing a suitor to her. She wasn’t upset though; she smiled and asked, "Is Cousin planning to start a company? Isn’t he afraid of losing all the money? A few years ago, didn’t he partner with someone in the leather business and lose everything for the Price Family?"
The Price Family was originally a bit of a bourgeois family, having made a fortune through early grain trading.
Later, Oscar Price squandered it all away. The small villa they currently live in was barely kept in consideration of the Lewis Family. Otherwise, even this little building would have been lost.
Oscar Price fell into depression and was dispirited for a long time. When pressured to go to work by family, he would barely make it a few days before declaring that everyone looked down on him, ranting that he couldn’t live like this.
As the only grandson of the Prices, Old Madam Price spoiled him. She declared that her grandson wouldn’t work.
Oscar Price turned to gaming and clubbing every day, seemingly coming back to life.
Zoe thought that if he could successfully run a company, there would be ghosts indeed!
When Oscar Price heard her bring up the past, his face lengthened immediately: "I’m not like before; I have experience now. The new company won’t do leather business; I’m planning to venture into the entertainment industry! Becoming a star or an internet celebrity is very profitable now. I know a major director who’s agreed to help me make a film. As long as the funds are ready, once the movie is made and released, it can earn ten or a hundred times the money!"
Zoe was dumbfounded!
How could Cousin become so unreliable, growing tall but not smart!
Next to them, Lucia Price looked thrilled: "My brother said I can be the lead actress of this film. Once I’m made famous, any endorsement I take can earn millions! My brother really chose the right industry this time; you should trust him!"
Zoe really wanted her cousin to look in the mirror.
Lucia wasn’t ugly, but definitely not a stunning beauty. Who would watch a movie with her as the lead actress? Her becoming famous would be odd!
Oscar Price spoke arrogantly: "So, Little Zoe, if you and your boyfriend invest in my company, I’ll let you play a role in the film, and each of you will receive a 10,000-dollar friendship fee."
Zoe felt like spitting blood!
Whose face are they looking down on?
It’s one thing to look down on her; she really was quite poor before. If someone offered her 10,000 dollars to cameo in a movie, she’d happily jump at the chance.
But that’s not the case with Lefton, though!
The Left Family is so poor that only money remains; when his parents made their move, they gave 600,000 dollars as a meeting gift. Lefton’s cheapest car is that inconspicuous 200,000-dollar Phaeton. Does he need your 10,000-dollar fee?
The Prices really made her lose all face before Lefton!
Zoe was about to refuse when Lefton spoke beside her: "Since they are Little Zoe’s family, they’re my family too. Cousin wants to start a film company, and I should help. How much more do you need in funds?"
