After Yang Meng used all her charm and coaxing, she achieved her goal, and her boyfriend arrived a dozen minutes later.

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaoxiao was secretly delighted. She strongly suggested that Yang Meng call her boyfriend over, not only to humiliate Wang Rui, but also to take this opportunity to humiliate Zhou Chen as well.

Zhou Chen had publicly rejected her advances, causing her immense humiliation. She still vividly remembers it and harbors resentment, thinking that one day she will make Zhou Chen regret it.

But opportunities for revenge are too few.

The sudden appearance of the university sports meet gave her hope, so she tried every means to get Xiang Nan and Zhou Chen to fight.

It was finally successful.

She thought her boyfriend Xiang Nan could avenge her on the basketball court, but unexpectedly, Xiang Nan was too disappointing. As a senior in high school, he actually lost to Zhou Chen. Not only did he fail to redeem himself, but he also made her lose even more face.

In terms of financial resources, Xiang Nan is not as good as Zhou Chen.

In terms of academic performance, Zhou Chen was the top scorer in the province's college entrance examination.

In terms of appearance, Zhou Chen is not particularly handsome, but he is not bad either, at least more handsome than Xiang Nan.

Zhang Xiaoxiao sees no hope of getting revenge through Xiang Nan, as her boyfriend is inferior to Zhou Chen in every way. Therefore, she can only rely on others, and Yang Meng's new boyfriend just happens to fit the bill.

A high-paid R&D employee at a tech company, a returnee from overseas, with an outstanding resume and genuine skills—so what if Zhou Chen is a top scorer in the college entrance exam? He graduated from a prestigious foreign university. Zhou Chen has a business, and it's quite large, but so what? He's no match for a returnee academic genius and a tech talent. Science and technology are the primary productive forces. Businesses like selling stinky tofu and past exam papers are simply not respectable.

With this in mind, Zhang Xiaoxiao strongly encouraged Yang Meng to call her boyfriend over.

Zhang Xiaoxiao secretly watched Zhou Chen and the others eating, chatting, and laughing, which made her increasingly unhappy. At the same time, she looked forward to the appearance of Yang Meng's boyfriend.

At that time, she will be able to take the opportunity to thoroughly humiliate Zhou Chen.

"Mengmeng, let's go over and say hello to them. After all, they treated us to a meal before. They're so petty, they acted like they didn't see us. We can't be rude."

Ten minutes later, Zhang Xiaoxiao suddenly suggested, estimating that Yang Meng's boyfriend would arrive soon.

Um?

Yang Meng paused for a moment. Her other two roommates looked a little awkward, as if it wasn't appropriate. Zhou Chen and the others hadn't greeted them, which meant they didn't want to talk. Going over to them would obviously be annoying.

Not to mention the complicated situation between Yang Meng and Wang Rui.

"Since we know each other, there's no need to be too formal. It's just a few words, I don't think it's a big deal."

Xiang Nan chimed in, because he harbored a competitive spirit towards Zhou Chen, the junior who had rejected his girlfriend. He had been frustrated for a long time after losing to Zhou Chen in basketball, and he wanted to prove himself again. If he could outdrink Zhou Chen, it would definitely help him turn the tables.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaoxiao and Xiang Nan had both said so, Yang Meng felt a little embarrassed, but she still nodded in agreement. She thought that since there was nothing between her and Wang Rui, it was just a matter of saying hello. If she didn't dare to go, it would seem like she was guilty. Besides, her boyfriend was about to arrive, so she could formally introduce him in front of Wang Rui and the others.

then,

The group got up and went to Zhou Chen's table.

When they saw Yang Meng, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and the others walking over, they knew it, but they pretended not to see them because no one wanted to pay attention to them.

"You're eating here too, what a coincidence!"

Yang Meng was the first to speak and greet people.

Wang Rui, Zhang Hao, and Li Wei remained silent. Seeing that no one responded, Zhou Chen, as the dormitory head, had no choice but to speak politely on behalf of the dormitory, saying, "It is a bit of a coincidence."

Yang Meng was a little angry when she saw this scene, especially when she saw that Zhang Hao and Wang Rui, who used to be very active in the group, were now silent. She just didn't agree to be with Wang Rui, was it really necessary to be like this?

As a man, his mind is a bit too narrow.

Yang Meng was somewhat relieved that she hadn't agreed to be Wang Rui's girlfriend. Compared to her boyfriend, Wang Rui was indeed far inferior.

Her boyfriend can earn 30,000 to 40,000 yuan a month now. Even if Wang Rui had ten years, he probably wouldn't be able to reach that level of income.

Of the four people in front of her, only Zhou Chen could compare to her boyfriend.

However...

She felt that although Zhou Chen had started her own business and had two businesses, her boyfriend was more capable. She reasoned that research and development was something that not everyone could do, requiring deep knowledge, while the barriers to entry for making stinky tofu snacks and exam papers were much lower. Therefore, Zhou Chen was not as good as her boyfriend.

With this thought in mind, Yang Meng felt even more proud and confident, even when facing Zhou Chen.

"Since we've all run into each other and are acquaintances, how about we share a table?"

The moment Xiang Nan said this, the entire room fell silent.

Zhou Chen didn't answer because he knew Wang Rui and Zhang Hao didn't want to deal with these people, but Zhang Xiaoxiao's eyes lit up. She thought it was a better opportunity for revenge and chimed in, "We're all alumni and friends. It'll be lively eating together. Besides, Mengmeng's boyfriend will be here soon. He also graduated with a degree in computer science from a prestigious university abroad and studied for two more years. If you have any questions, you can ask him. It's a rare opportunity."

Zhang Xiaoxiao said with a smile,

The implication was clear: this is an opportunity for you to build connections, so don't fail to cherish it.

“Zhou Chen, if you want to go into the tech business in the future, you can’t go wrong by consulting my boyfriend. He can definitely help you. He’s very capable. Even the boss at the company treats him with great respect.”

Yang Meng realized that Zhang Hao and Wang Rui didn't welcome her, so she had no choice but to speak to Zhou Chen.

Zhou Chen was somewhat curious about Yang Meng's boyfriend, thinking that if he really had the ability, he could bring him into the company.

However, as Wang Rui's roommate, he had to consider Wang Rui's feelings.

so,

"No need, we prefer a quieter atmosphere, it's better if everyone eats separately."

Zhou Chen smiled.

Yang Meng's face suddenly stiffened. She didn't expect Zhou Chen to be so ungrateful and disrespectful. She had kindly introduced her boyfriend to him, but he actually refused.

"Excuse me, I need to use the restroom first. You guys talk."

Zhou Chen got up, took the opportunity of using a urinary shield, and left the dining table, leaving Yang Meng, Zhang Xiaoxiao, and a few others standing there awkwardly. Zhang Hao and Wang Rui remained silent, their faces expressionless. Seeing that the two of them didn't speak, Li Wei, who was not much of a talker to begin with, naturally didn't say anything either.

After Zhou Chen left, the scene became quiet and awkward.

Yang Meng and Zhang Xiaoxiao felt a little embarrassed and didn't want to stay any longer. Just as they were about to turn around, a man's voice suddenly came from behind them.
