Mingxiang fell silent after hearing what Lu Zheng said.
After a moment, she raised her head and said to Lu Zheng with a face full of apology, "Lu Zheng, I'm sorry."
Lu Zheng was taken aback: "Huh?"
He didn't expect Mingxiang to apologize to him.
Mingxiang explained, "If it weren't for me, you wouldn't have gotten involved."
For Ming Xiang, Lu Zheng was caught up in this storm entirely because of herself.
Lu Zheng suddenly understood why Ming Xiang had said that, and quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, it's nothing, you silly girl, how does this have anything to do with you? It's those bastards who caused trouble."
Ming Xiang and Jiang Li'er are truly different.
Jiang Li'er always finds excuses for others. No matter when or where, she always seems to be right, and it's always someone else who is wrong.
When Lu Zheng was talking to Jiang Li'er, there were many things Jiang Li'er did wrong that Lu Zheng couldn't say, and they argued about them many times.
Mingxiang, however, attributed all of this to her own fault.
What does Jiang Li'er have to compare with her?
This made Lu Zheng cherish Ming Xiang even more.
After quickly comforting him a few times, Lu Zheng said, "Alright, go rest for a while and get some sleep. We still have a lot to do tonight. I'll hold you while you sleep."
As he spoke, Lu Zheng pulled Ming Xiang to her feet and said to Chang Ping, "Brother Chang, I'm leaving the company's affairs to you. Take care of things."
Chang Ping waved his hand with a smile: "You guys go ahead and get busy. I'll take care of things at the company. It's alright."
...
After nightfall, Lu Zheng and his group quickly arrived near the commercial city.
Mingxiang turned her head and grabbed Lu Zheng's hand, her eyes still showing some nervousness.
Lu Zheng smiled gently: "Don't panic, get out of the car, don't keep those people waiting."
While Lu Zheng and the others were talking, the karaoke room was also quite lively.
Li Feibing had already arrived with the rest of the group by this time.
Of course, some students didn't come.
These students are very shrewd. They know they are ordinary people, and they can't rely on anyone, let alone someone like Ming Xiang, or even Li Feibing.
If you try to curry favor with him now, you'll only be used as a pawn.
There's something even more disgusting: these class reunions that aren't really friendships. Putting aside the filthy things circulating online, just sitting together and comparing themselves to each other, showing off, and bragging is unbearable.
So these students had absolutely no interest.
They couldn't even remember the names of their junior high school classmates.
There were about twenty people who came.
These people are all Li Feibing's men.
These people are still in contact with Li Feibing.
It's not that Li Feibing has any deep feelings for them, but rather that Li Feibing is now a senior executive in a company.
Even if they don't get much benefit from him, these people still fawn over him.
The reason Mingxiang and her friends didn't get close was because Mingxiang had dropped out of school in junior high. Some of them, especially some of the girls, had even ridiculed her when she dropped out.
Jealousy made it impossible for these girls to get together with Mingxiang.
The men were no exception.
So Li Feibing looked at everyone and narrowed his eyes.
After a moment, he addressed the crowd, "Does everyone know what to do?"
The group immediately patted their chests and said, "We know, Brother Li, don't worry, we'll get things done."
"Yeah, Brother Li, just you wait and see! The brothers promise not to let you down, haha, that Lu Zheng is nothing!"
"He dares to try and steal our CEO Li's woman? Does he even deserve it?"
These sycophants all have their own ulterior motives.
They readily agreed to Li Feibing's request, but some of them actually planned to observe his reactions later and didn't intend to say anything proactively.
Because these people don't know whether Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang are more powerful or Li Feibing is more powerful.
Today's events also represent an opportunity for them to climb the ladder.
If Lu Zheng is really that capable, they wouldn't mind siding with him.
They'll follow whoever can bring them benefits. As for Li Feibing, what he thinks is none of their business.
But those women are a different story.
These women are definitely going to oppose Mingxiang.
Mingxiang is beautiful, smart, and incredibly wealthy—a true "rich, beautiful, and successful woman."
Women have always been jealous.
This is a very difficult thing to handle.
The man knew that Fang Qiang, being a fellow man, would want to befriend him.
There is reverence, but also the expectation of utilizing it.
Women are quite different. If a woman who is stronger, smarter, and sweeter than them appears in front of them, most of them will feel jealous, unless a very small minority of them share the same thoughts as men.
They absolutely cannot stand seeing the other person being better than themselves.
If the other party is capable, they will isolate them.
The saying goes that men's dorms have one group chat, while women's dorms have sixteen groups for eight people. This is the reason behind it; it's human nature and very difficult to change.
So they were truly of one mind with Li Feibing. Of course, the girls looked quite happy sitting together, all united against a common enemy.
But in reality, it was all deceit and treachery; besides gossiping about each other, there was nothing else.
Mingxiang is completely different from these women.
She admires the strong, but unlike some sycophants who would give everything for the strong, her admiration is genuine. She learns from them rather than shamelessly trying to get close.
Lu Zheng truly admired Ming Xiang. As a woman, her strength, her vision, and many of her actions were unique.
Mingxiang had calmed down by now. She smiled and said to Lu Zheng, "Speaking of which, not all of these classmates will come to participate."
Her sudden remark startled Lu Zheng.
Lu Zheng asked with a smile, "Why do you say that?"
Mingxiang smiled mysteriously and said, "Because not everyone is like them. There are some classmates I really liked when I was in junior high school. They are more innocent and studious. They may not have had as comfortable a life as I have, but they left a very deep impression on me."
"The top student in our class never went out much. He might have been a bit withdrawn and introverted, but he made a very good impression on me. I even liked him for a while back then."
"Pfft, haha, aren't you afraid I'll get jealous?"
Lu Zheng couldn't help but smile at her.
Mingxiang stuck out her tongue: "You wouldn't be jealous. My boyfriend is different from others; he's the strongest of the strong. If I were so easily jealous, how could Mingxiang be with you?"
Lu Zheng coughed and said, "You're getting embarrassed by all the praise."
