Chapter 131 What Are You Trying To Do?

• Ben pondered as he looked at his clean yet shabby casual outfit. "It does look inappropriate. I should comply with the company's regulations by wearing formal attire, but you shouldn't be the one to buy it for me, especially something this expensive. Why not lend me some money, and I'll get one myself? As for this, you can return it. It's too expensive."
• "You can be too stubborn with your values. Why don't you decide after listening to my explanation? My company isn't big, but it isn't that small either. As the president, I must attend important meetings for business collaborations and partnerships. I'm not vain, but society works this way. No matter how good your skills are, people tend to judge you based on your appearance to decide whether it's worth collaborating with you. It could be based on the brand you wear, the value of your car, and the price of your watches and accessories. That is why people of high status always spend lavishly to improve how they present themselves to others and even borrow money to buy expensive cars. It's all for showing off to make it easier for socializing. Do you understand what I'm saying?"
• "Yes," Ben nodded.
