Inside the Haosheng Hotel, Zhao Lin and Ying Xin were already waiting in the private room.
At the parking lot entrance, Ji Zhi parked his car in the garage, and Zhang Fan waited for him outside.
"Zhang Fan, it's you."
Zhang Fan turned around and saw a somewhat familiar face with a contemptuous smile on it.
He was his college classmate, but they didn't have much contact. He only remembered the face; he didn't even remember the other person's name.
Seeing Zhang Fan's somewhat dazed expression, the man gave a mocking smile: "Oh, why are you dressed so shabbily?"
"I remember you were very good before, with excellent grades and a cool basketball game. I never thought you would end up as a gatekeeper. You are a disgrace to our school."
The person next to the man let out a malicious laugh.
Zhang Fan then remembered that the person's name was Qin Ting. In college, Qin Ting had demonstrated a three-step layup for a girl, but he slipped and fell flat on his face.
He awkwardly tried to cover it up: "It rained yesterday, and the basketball court was a bit slippery."
Before the girl could respond, he looked up and saw her staring at Zhang Fan as he dunked, completely smitten. With a leap, the basketball was easily slammed into the hoop, spinning a few times before landing on the ground.
"Wow, so handsome!" The girl's eyes lit up like stars as she exclaimed in surprise at Zhang Fan's every move.
Zhang Fan's bangs were plastered to his forehead, and fine beads of sweat appeared on his face. When he dunked, he revealed his eight-pack abs. He had both the pure and innocent charm of a college student and the strength of a mature man. Coupled with his handsome features, he drew frequent exclamations from many girls.
Qin Ting turned her head and saw Zhang Fan playing basketball in flip-flops. The flip-flops did not affect his movements at all, while Qin Ting fell to the ground, his buttocks still wet and looking extremely disheveled.
The difference is immediately apparent upon comparison!
Qin Ting looked at Zhang Fan, her eyes filled with flames of jealousy.
But before he could take revenge, he heard that Zhang Fan had already dropped out of school.
To protect its reputation, the school claimed that Zhang Fan dropped out because he couldn't afford to study. At the time, many female students felt sorry for him and offered to sponsor his studies, but the counselor refused to disclose any information about Zhang Fan.
Actually, I dared not reveal it, after all, there were leaders above who specifically instructed that no one should know where Zhang Fan went.
Qin Ting was seething with anger. When he saw Zhang Fan dressed in rags, wearing slippers that cost only 10 yuan a pair, he knew he was doing poorly. Of course, he wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by.
Zhang Fan frowned slightly, a sign of his rage, and said coldly, "What I do is none of your business."
"Heh, still being stubborn. Since we're classmates, I'll let you take this bottle and sell it for money. This is pure natural hot spring water air-shipped from overseas. It sells for 100 yuan a bottle. Never seen anything like it before, have you?"
As he spoke, he reached out and tossed a white mineral water bottle to Zhang Fan's feet.
Zhang Fan raised his head and kicked, sending the mineral water flying straight towards Qin Ting.
"Ah—" Qin Ting screamed, pinching her nose, blood seeping from between her fingers.
Zhang Fan said calmly, "Sorry, I couldn't help but want to kick the trash when I saw it."
He spoke words of apology, but his tone showed no remorse whatsoever.
Qin Ting looked down at his hands and saw the glaring red, which made his anger rise.
"Zhang Fan, do you know who I am? Do you know who my father is?" Qin Ting roared.
"Can't find your dad? I'm not your dad, ask your mom instead!"
"You!" Qin Ting choked.
"Zhang Fan." A familiar female voice called out, though it was faint.
Yuan Xin walked over hand in hand with a female classmate, who was Zhang Fan's classmate and her name was Fang Rong.
Zhang Fan recalled that Qin Ting had been pursuing Fang Rong, but for some reason, he had never been able to catch up with her.
Of course, she couldn't catch up. Fang Rong was attracted by Zhang Fan's handsome appearance while playing basketball and felt that this was how a man should look. Compared to him, she felt that Qin Ting was not attractive at all.
Fang Rong was very excited to see Zhang Fan, after all, it had been several years since they last met. She nudged Yuan Xin with her elbow: "You know Zhang Fan?"
Yuan Xin gave a soft "hmm" and then fell silent. Her eyes were dark and bluish, clearly indicating that she hadn't slept well.
Fang Rong raised an eyebrow: "Zhang Fan, it's my birthday today. It's not easy for old classmates to meet, how about we go in for a drink?"
Qin Ting: "No way!"
Zhang Fan: "I have something to do inside."
Qin Ting glanced at Zhang Fan with disdain. Judging from Zhang Fan's attire, he must work there. A calculating glint flashed in his eyes. He couldn't hit someone in front of his goddess, so he would find a way to get Zhang Fan out of his job.
Thinking of Zhang Fan's panicked state after being kicked out, Qin Ting's lips curled into a smug smile.
Fang Rong sighed helplessly, "Then let's do it next time."
Yuan Xin nodded slightly to Zhang Fan, then walked away with her head down, looking sickly.
Qin Ting quickly chased after him, saying, "Fang Rong, wait for me."
Fang Rong glanced at Qin Ting and curled her lip in disdain; "I didn't invite you to my birthday party. What are you doing here!"
Qin Ting: "I've prepared a gift for you. I'll leave after I give you the gift."
He covered his nose and chased after him. As he passed Zhang Fan, he lowered his voice and said in a cold tone, "Zhang Fan, I will definitely avenge today's grudge!"
Zhang Fan gave him a cold glare, and Qin Ting felt a chill run down his spine. He then realized that he had been intimidated by Zhang Fan. Feeling both humiliated and indignant, he glared at Zhang Fan and chased after him.
Watching Qin Ting's retreating figure, Zhang Fan's lips curled into a barely perceptible smile.
Qin Ting is already sick, and she got angry today. She'll be bedridden for at least three months when she gets home tonight.
As soon as the others left, Ji Zhi parked his car and ran over: "Dr. Zhang, let's go upstairs quickly."
It was a detour to get into the garage, so Ji Zhi had Zhang Fan wait at the entrance.
Ji Zhi walked in front, and Zhang Fan followed behind. Unexpectedly, they ran into each other again, as Yuan Xin and the others were still waiting for the elevator.
"Zhang Fan, what do you do for a living here?" Qin Ting asked with ill intent.
"none of your business!"
"We're all classmates, so let's all be concerned about whether you're cleaning toilets or working as a waiter?"
Ji Zhi couldn't help but speak up: "What nonsense are you talking about?"
Yuan Xin frowned slightly and looked at Qin Ting with an expression as if he were an idiot.
Qin Ting felt a strange sensation, but he ignored it. He wanted Fang Rong to know how badly Zhang Fan was doing now.
Fang Rong said unhappily, "Qin Ting, you've gone too far."
Qin Ting: "Alright, I won't ask anymore. Fang Rong, my father is meeting with important guests here today, and he's been wanting to see you. How about..."
"No!" Fang Rong refused decisively. "I didn't invite you to my birthday party."
Qin Ting pointed at Zhang Fan, angrily saying, "You invited this waiter, why didn't you invite me?!"
The elevator arrived, and Fang Rong stormed off in a huff.
Qin Ting was anxious and didn't bother to pick a fight with Zhang Fan; she stormed off in a huff.
Ji Zhi asked in confusion, "Dr. Zhang, are you just going to let him go like this?"
Zhang Fan: "He's going to die!"
