Shanhai Grand Hotel.
Stylish and beautiful, magnificent and imposing, soaring into the sky.
The blue glass curtain wall gleamed in the sunlight.
Indistinctly.
It has the grandeur of mountains and the vastness of the sea.
It is a landmark building in Jiangcheng.
It is also the most representative high-end hotel in the city.
Step into the magnificent lobby.
Chen Yang saw it at a glance.
Xue Song stood there.
He waved excitedly to himself.
"Old classmate, you've finally arrived. I've been waiting for you for half an hour."
He grabbed Chen Yang's shoulder as if they were old friends reunited.
Sincere and passionate, with fiery enthusiasm.
Chen Yang smiled.
He replied calmly.
"Thank you for troubling me, old classmate!"
Xue Song affectionately took Chen Yang's hand and led him towards the elevator.
"We're all old classmates, no need to be so polite."
"There are already a lot of people in the upper private rooms. It's going to be very lively today."
at this time.
Xue Song was secretly pleased with himself.
Poor bastard!
Now let me show you our enthusiasm.
Wait a moment.
Let me show you what it means to be utterly ashamed, what it means to be at your wit's end, and what it means to be at the end of your rope!
Hahaha!
The contrast of hot and cold must be incredibly refreshing!
Chen Yang glanced at him.
He sneered inwardly.
Lively? Of course it will be very lively!
You've gone to so much trouble and made such a big fuss.
How could we not make it a bit lively, given all your meticulous planning?
You little rascal, you're actually quite the actor!
Have you taken any advanced training courses and studied acting specifically?
I don't want an Oscar.
What a waste of your excellent acting skills!
Without intelligence alerts.
I really don't know—
This enthusiastic guy is actually Huang Sanjin's right-hand man!
They're plotting to get rid of me!
The two were waiting for the elevator.
From the main gate.
A young man in a suit walked in.
He was Mayor Li Zhenjiang's secretary.
Wang Huaizhi.
A well-off middle-aged man was already waiting at the door, warmly welcoming them.
They stretched out their hands from afar.
"Director Wang, thank you for coming!"
"It's truly an honor to have you here!"
"The private room is ready, let's go upstairs!"
Wang Huaizhi gently squeezed his hand and then released it.
That posture was just right.
"Director Lu, please don't stand on ceremony, let's go."
Lu Weimin is the head of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, and he is usually very powerful and influential.
but--
However, he behaved with utmost respect in front of the mayor's secretary.
He took half a step back and stood to one side.
Let Wang Huaizhi walk directly in front.
Being a step behind, I followed along, extending my hand to guide them.
"Please come this way."
Wang Huaizhi took the lead.
She exudes a powerful aura.
Looking up, I saw a young man in the distance who looked somewhat familiar.
Upon closer inspection—
It seems to be that arrogant guy at the mayor's family dinner.
Chen Yang?
Yes, that's him!
His eyes lit up, and he forced a fawning smile onto his face.
He quickened his pace and caught up.
Just then, Chen Yang stepped into the elevator.
"List……"
Wang Huaizhi tried to call for help, but it was too late.
The elevator doors closed.
He had to give up.
well!
I finally ran into him and wanted to show him some kindness, but I missed the chance.
It just wasn't meant to be!
Wang Huaizhi was disappointed, but on the surface, he remained calm.
His expression remained unchanged as he continued walking forward.
Lu Weimin felt something was off, but didn't dare to ask any further questions.
There are many rules in officialdom.
Don't ask what you shouldn't ask, and it's best to pretend you didn't see what you shouldn't know.
They led Wang Huaizhi to the 9th floor.
Wang Huaizhi looked up and saw the three characters "Qingyun Hall" hanging at the entrance.
He nodded slightly and stepped inside.
Lu Weimin saw this and secretly rejoiced.
Good start, keep it up!
Today's topic is Lu Weimin's nephew, named Lu Xianfeng.
He is currently the mayor of Qianshan Town, Binjiang County, which is under the jurisdiction of Jiangcheng City.
Lu Xianfeng has been the town mayor for five years.
Tired of the mundane and backwardness of the small town, he wanted to transfer to the city center to experience its prosperity.
Lu Weimin went to great lengths for Lu Xianfeng.
They not only invited the mayor's chief secretary, but also used connections.
They also invited Song Boyun, a major entrepreneur with a net worth of several billion yuan, to accompany them.
The Shanhai Grand Hotel is not cheap.
If Song Boyun hadn't paid the bill, Lu Weimin really wouldn't have been willing to go to such lengths.
Wang Huaizhi was very satisfied.
Director Lu's thinking is comprehensive, so the bureau naturally operates in a harmonious and efficient manner.
As for whether it can be done, we'll have to wait and see.
On the other side.
Xue Song pulled Chen Yang to the Gathering Hall on the 9th floor.
Push open the door.
There were already more than a dozen old classmates sitting inside.
Some chatted enthusiastically, while others remained somewhat silent.
Some were beaming with joy, while others were melancholy.
Seeing Chen Yang come in.
A few people exchanged brief greetings.
Most people remained still, going about their business as usual.
Only two people stood up excitedly.
One is Liu Changhe.
The other one is Chen Yang's best friend, Xu Wenqing.
"Yoko, you've come!"
Liu Changhe excitedly ran over and pulled Chen Yang to Xu Wenqing's side.
"Old Xu, you see, I told you Yangzi would come!"
Chen Yang looked at Xu Wenqing and sized him up.
My eyes are sore.
"Dude, you've lost weight!"
Xu Wenqing was also a little moved.
But he held it in and didn't show it.
"Yangzi, wow! It's been years since I last saw you, and you've even learned to be sentimental?"
Xu Wenqing patted Chen Yang on the shoulder.
It's like going back to many years ago, attending classes together and sleeping in the same dormitory.
Long time no see, how are you?
Chen Yang nodded with a smile.
"It's alright, we don't have to worry about food and clothing."
"Wenqing, how are you?"
Xu Wenqing seemed to be deliberately avoiding something.
"Me? I'm alright. I have hands and feet, so making a living isn't a problem."
"By the way, how is Uncle's health?"
Chen Yang gave him a deep look.
This guy.
I've been competitive since I was little, and I'm still the same old loser!
"My dad's surgery was very successful. I estimate that after a period of rest, he will make a full recovery."
Xu Wenqing was overjoyed.
"That's great! Thank goodness!"
"I'll visit him again another day when I have time!"
“Last time, when your family was in trouble, I was really embarrassed and didn’t have any money to lend to you, Auntie…”
Chen Yang quickly interrupted him.
"Wenqing, don't say that, I understand!"
"If you have any difficulties, you can tell me. I'm here now..."
Before Chen Yang could finish speaking...
Xu Wenqing immediately changed the subject.
"Good brother, it's been years since we last met, let's not talk about these unhappy things."
Tell me, how have you been lately?
"Big Liu just said that you've made it big and have several female confidantes, but I don't believe it!"
"This guy talks nonsense and loves to brag!"
...
The three formed a small circle and began chatting enthusiastically.
At this moment.
A young man with slicked-back hair, wearing an expensive watch, and carrying the keys to a Mercedes-Benz.
He walked into the private room, shaking his head every few steps.
"Hey guys, long time no see!"
Chen Yang turned his head and frowned.
The other dozen or so students all stood up at once.
They all greeted each other.
Several people even ran over enthusiastically and offered to shake hands.
"Brother Lang is here! Everyone's been waiting for you!"
"Yes, yes! Brother Lang is the richest young master in our county. He can make people tremble with just a stomp of his foot!"
"You're all wrong. Is Brother Lang the kind of person who shows off his wealth? He attracts beautiful women with his personal charm!"
"Hahaha... Yes! Yes! In our county, men may not know Brother Lang's name, but women all dream about him day and night and drool over him!"
...
As soon as Jiang Lang entered, he was treated like a star surrounded by admirers.
They were praised and flattered.
Only Chen Yang, Liu Changhe, and Xu Wenqing remained seated.
They don't give me face.
This person is the third party who betrayed Chen Yang back then.
How could they possibly like it?
If the other party weren't rich, beating him up would be the least of my worries.
The indifference of the three people.
This contrasts sharply with the enthusiasm of others.
It quickly caught Jiang Lang's attention.
He glanced at Chen Yang and a provocative look appeared on his face.
"Hey! Who did I think it was?"
"Oh, it's Chen Yang!"
"I heard your dad couldn't afford medical treatment, and now... is he dead?"
