Yang Cheng's parents are no longer alive, and he doesn't want to have anything to do with his second uncle's family.
It can be said that within the main world, only Da Gang and Ming Ze, these two childhood playmates, are still people you can talk to.
With Yang Cheng's current abilities, he can't help too many people, but helping these two shouldn't be a problem.
Of course, Yang Cheng understood the principle that a small favor is appreciated, but excessive favors breed resentment.
They earn 500,000 yuan a year, which not only helps their families but also gives them some extra money. It's a perfect balance.
"Alright, no need to refuse anymore. I never intended to take this money back after I took it out."
Besides, I won't be staying at this martial arts school for long. The two of you will have to work 24/7 to keep watch over it for me, so this pay includes overtime compensation."
Hearing Yang Cheng say this, Da Gang and Ming Ze finally accepted it.
After finishing his drinks, Da Gang suddenly said, "Chengzi, there was a message in our class group that we're organizing a class reunion in a couple of days."
Mingze is socially awkward and doesn't want to go. How about you come with me?
Yang Cheng asked in surprise, "A class reunion? You're interested in something like that?"
In this day and age, so-called class reunions are basically a form of ineffective socializing.
High-spirited talk during times of glory, and timid and hesitant during times of hardship.
The once vibrant and promising students were not actually full of youthful vigor; instead, they were filled with worldly and pragmatic cynicism.
You think class reunions are about reminiscing about your youth, but you actually find that those people have nothing to do with the youth you remember.
After that accident, Yang Cheng had already left all the group chats, refused all social interaction, and disappeared completely, so he has never attended a class reunion in all these years.
Da Gang rubbed his hands together and said, "I heard that Wu Qing is also at this class reunion. I want to go and see her."
Yang Cheng raised an eyebrow slightly: "Don't forget, you have a wife and children."
Wu Qing was the most beautiful girl in Yang Cheng's junior high school class. She was good at studying and also very pretty.
In addition, girls at that age always develop faster than boys, which aroused the romantic feelings of countless young boys at the time.
So Da Gang was no exception, but Yang Cheng was an exception.
Da Gang quickly said loudly, "Of course I know. I only love my wife in this life. If I do anything to betray her, I would want to slap myself to death."
As he spoke, Da Gang sighed, "I only wanted to see her this time, to fulfill my old wish. I had no other intentions."
1200ksw.
Forget it, you wouldn't understand even if I explained it to a single guy like you. Just consider it helping out a brother this time. If I went by myself, my wife would never agree.
Since Yang Cheng had nothing else to do and was just idling around anyway, he agreed to go with Da Gang.
Before Yang Cheng entered the world of reincarnation last time, he prepared quietly for more than two months because he needed to adjust his mindset.
But this time he can be said to have become quite accustomed to the rules of the reincarnation world, so there is no need to adjust his mindset. During this period, Yang Cheng plans to stay leisurely for two months.
The next day, Da Gang got a special haircut and wore a suit, looking slick and polished.
Yang Cheng, however, was still dressed in a plain white short-sleeved shirt and jeans.
"You're going to the party dressed like this?" Da Gang asked, looking surprised.
"Are you going to a class reunion or a blind date?" Yang Cheng asked rhetorically.
Da Gang carefully tidied his hair, shook his head and said, "To leave a good impression, Mr. Yang, you're still too modest."
The two took a taxi to the New Century Hotel in the city. This hotel is the only five-star hotel in Shengting City, and the price level is not low.
Moreover, this class reunion wasn't a split-the-bill affair; someone was paying for everything.
Upon entering the private room, Da Gang greeted the men and women inside with familiarity.
He hung out in Liaodong, so he often saw some of his classmates.
In fact, quite a few people noticed Yang Cheng and were surprised that he would come this time, after all, he had been missing for many years.
But Yang Cheng had a strange, aloof air about him; he didn't speak, and no one took the initiative to greet him.
Yang Cheng was happy to have some peace and quiet, so he sat aside and ate his meal in silence, watching the group's performance with a detached air, as if he were watching a play.
More than ten years have passed, and the people from back then have long since changed beyond recognition.
Some are slick, some are mercenary.
Those who were once lively have become dull, while those who were once taciturn are now boastful.
The organizer of this class reunion is Wang Dong. He wasn't a good student when he was in school, and it seems he didn't even get into university.
But his family seems to be doing quite well; he's considered a second-generation rich kid, so he's very generous and is the main character at this class reunion.
Wang Dong was holding a glass at that moment, shaking his wrist, inadvertently revealing a brand new gold Rolex.
"More than ten years have passed, and things have changed so much. Seeing you all reminds me of my school days."
What was I, Wang Dong, back then? A complete academic failure. I was constantly begging this person and that person to copy my homework. Even a bunch of top students looked down on me and despised me.
And what's the result? Being a test-taker in a small town, working yourself to the bone in big factories for such a meager wage—isn't that pathetic?
Students, times have changed. Do you really think this is the 1960s or 70s, where studying alone can change your destiny? Don't be naive; reality will teach you a lesson.
Wang Dong looked smug and boastful, but most people at the table just flattered and echoed him. Some looked unpleasant, but remained silent.
A woman dressed in business attire and wearing heavy makeup even poured wine for Wang Dong, saying in a fawning tone, "Yes, if I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have worked so hard to get into the capital back then. In the end, I have to compete with thousands of people for a government job when I come back."
