Suddenly, the topic fell to the ground with a 'duang'.

"What did you say? You're the boss of Boyuan Building Materials? How is that possible? Aren't you still in school?" Zhang Peng clearly didn't believe it.

"Don't you know that Boyuan Building Materials has Hong Kong bigwigs backing it up? Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to rise so quickly. Whether it's true or not is clear."

An Jing was certainly aware of this; she had already suspected it when Bo Yuan's reputation first spread.

After all, Shen Jize, as a native of Gangcheng, had already made a name for himself in Jiangcheng. The two had already collaborated on various projects when they were still in school.

But she didn't expect Wang Ying to work at Boyuan, and judging from her outfit, she seemed to have been doing quite well these past few years.

"Yingying, I didn't expect you to work at Boyuan too." Anjing looked at Wang Ying and asked.

Wang Ying has worked for several years and has long since matured; she's no longer as naive as she was when she was in school.

Hearing the bitterness in An Jing's voice, she didn't want to say too much, but An Jing added a sentence after she finished speaking.

"Weiwei is always generous. She shouldn't treat you badly if you work for her."

They not only didn't mistreat her, they treated her incredibly well.

Faced with quiet sorrow and probing, Wang Ying remained proud and outspoken.

"It's really great. The company made me a manager as soon as it was registered. My starting salary was 1,000 yuan a month. After I became a full-time employee, it increased to 1,500 yuan. My salary increases by 300 yuan every year. I work from 9 am to 5 pm with weekends off. I also get a lot of project commissions. Recently, they even provided me with a car to make it easier for me to go to work."

It's not an exaggeration to say that Lin Wei was provided with a car; it was indeed a second-hand car that she got from outside. She originally wanted to drive it herself, but the car was too ugly for her, so she left it at the company.

Shen Jize also promised to get her a car she liked. To be honest, she still has to take a taxi or squeeze onto the bus to get anything done.

At this point, Lin Wei felt a little resentful.

"To be honest, you've got a car, while I'm still taking a taxi. Since you have a car, why didn't you just drive it here today? Why did you make me take a taxi? Isn't it crowded?"

"I just didn't think of it for a moment. I said I would take a taxi, but you insisted on taking the bus."

Zhang Yanyan chuckled, "That's all to save money. Even though we earn a lot, we should still save where we can and spend where we can. No matter how much money we have, we can't waste it."

The three of them were so close that Anjing couldn't get a word in edgewise.

She was so jealous and couldn't bear to watch anymore. Just as she was about to get up and leave, a young woman greeted them warmly.

"Oh, boss, Manager Wang, Sister Zhang, you're here too! I didn't see you earlier."

The young woman was An Jing, the company's receptionist. At that moment, she was carrying a plate full of food. If she hadn't bumped into An Jing at the door, she must have come in earlier.

The receptionist, An Jing, was always outgoing and friendly; seeing that there were other people at her table, she greeted them warmly as well.

"Hello, I'm Anjing, the receptionist. You've just arrived, right? I'm almost done here, so I won't bother you any longer. Enjoy your meal."

The receptionist greeted everyone quietly and left, but the student who had already stood up suddenly looked grim.

"Quiet?"

Wang Ying didn't understand the meaning behind An Jing's question. "Yes, her name is An Jing. She's the receptionist at our company. I even mentioned it to you when we were recruiting. You said it was such a coincidence."

Anjing doesn't remember anything from what happened a few years ago.

He picked up his small bag, said "Enjoy your meal," and left alone.

Zhang Peng wasn't one to read people's expressions, so seeing that An Jing had left, he didn't linger and hurriedly followed her out.

But if you turn around, you'll see the two arguing at the entrance of the buffet.

"Anjing, what is this...? How did you end up talking about something like this?" Wang Ying exclaimed.

"Just wondering, after graduation, have you all stopped contacting Anjing?"

Back then, the four of them shared a dormitory room. Lin Wei and An Jing got along quite well, since everyone was a student at the time and didn't have many worries.

But it's clear that she and Wang Ying are the closest of the four.

Wang Ying's personality played a significant role in this.

After spending more time together, Zhang Yanyan's personality suited her well. Although she was reserved, she was emotionally stable, thoughtful, and a person with a plan. The two got along quite well.

But it's quiet—

They belong to the classmate group that we completely lost contact with after graduation.

Lin Wei didn't think much of it; losing contact after graduation is a common occurrence in the friendship between classmates.

But to her surprise, Wang Ying also didn't contact the other party.

“Of course we contacted each other. Although I was busy with work during that time, I never worked overtime. I would go to her quiet workplace to see her on weekends when I had time off, but she…” Wang Ying carefully considered her words before speaking, “She was always indifferent to me, and she would only respond half-heartedly to the things I said.”

"At first I just thought she wasn't feeling well, so I didn't think much of it. But after a few times when we met up, she was still the same. Even if I'm stupid, I could tell she didn't want to talk to me, so I stopped contacting her."

"Around September, after you started your first year of graduate school, we didn't keep in touch much."

Speaking of this, Zhang Yanyan also had some recollection of it. "Yes, Yingying complained to me about this before. I even said, if someone doesn't want to talk to you, then don't bother trying to win them over."

"Yes, that's it."

Even the best relationships will inevitably fall apart if there's no contact for a long time.

However, she seemed unaware that Wang Ying had joined Lin Wei's company.

“I mentioned it, but I didn’t specify what I was going to do. She just gave me a few lectures, saying that I should focus on my major and not mess around with Weiwei. She said that Weiwei is rich and has connections, so it doesn’t matter.” Wang Ying said, “But I really couldn’t find a job at the time, and I didn’t get into graduate school. If Weiwei hadn’t wanted me, I wouldn’t be in this situation.”

This is the main reason why she stopped seeking peace and quiet.

But it's strange that the two of them said, "Weiwei, why haven't you contacted Anjing? I don't remember you two teasing each other during your school days."

"No, we were just ordinary classmates, ordinary roommates, and had an ordinary relationship. We got along peacefully when we were together, and when we weren't together, I didn't particularly want to contact them, so we naturally stopped contacting each other."

Zhang Yanyan sighed, "Forget it, don't say anymore. He's just a passerby, and we probably won't have any contact in the future. Yingying, didn't you want to eat at the buffet? Hurry up and eat, there's almost a mountain of meat."

Wang Ying choked. She did want to eat, but after what had just happened, even if she had a strong will, she couldn't eat anymore.

Lin Weini glanced at the other person and said, "This meat is all what you wanted. If you can't eat it, you'll be fined at the original price. Don't think that just because you're the boss's friend you can waste food. This is shameful. You've only had a few good days, and you don't even want to eat meat anymore."

"I'll eat, I'll eat, I've already eaten it all, isn't that enough?"
