"Oh, oh, oh~ I remember now, it's you! It's been so many years! May I ask where you are now?" Hou Liang also pretended to suddenly realize something, his face full of smiles, as if he were very close to Qi Xiaowei.
"Oh, it's him! I was wondering why he looked so familiar." The others echoed, all showing the joy of a long-awaited reunion.
Qi Xiaowei was speechless. These people were obviously just making excuses; they didn't even remember who he was.
Seeing Qi Xiaowei's gloomy expression, Zhou Xuemin felt secretly pleased and then said at the right moment, "Xiaowei has done quite a feat these past few years. He's the police chief of Anping District in Zhongyang City!"
Upon hearing this, Hou Liang immediately lowered his outstretched hand, forcing a smile on his face: "Hehe, very good, very good."
Everyone else instantly lost interest in Qi Xiaowei.

Li Kang had no choice but to sit down at the end of the table, feeling rather dejected.
As for Qi Xiaowei, Hou Liang didn't even glance at him again, and the others at the table also ignored him, continuing to enjoy their feast.
