Xiao Xiao was a little unhappy as the conversation veered entirely towards Wei Lun. Why should he pay for someone else to steal the spotlight? Wasn't he just being taken advantage of?
However, Xiao Xiao hadn't expected that Wei Lun could afford such a small meal expense without even using a finger; it was nothing.
"Everyone, let's start eating. Speaking of Wei Lun, I'm also very curious. I wonder how you managed to develop so quickly?"
Xiao Xiao felt somewhat inferior to Wei Lun. Although he was considered one of the better-off students, Wei Lun was a true nouveau riche who completely overshadowed him.
Of the college classmates in the room, some had already started families and established careers, while others were just struggling to make ends meet. The best off were those working in institutions or organizations, and Xiao Xiao was one of them.
"Oh, actually I'm just lucky. Someone helps me manage the company, so I don't have to worry about anything."
Wei Lun said with a smile, but he still felt grateful to Xue Qingshan, this beautiful woman with two doctoral degrees.
After all, Xue Qingshan appeared when Wei Lun was nobody, and she stood firmly by his side, helping him establish such a large company.
Hearing Wei Lun say this, everyone became even more curious, especially about the manager behind Wei Lun.
Seeing the puzzled looks on everyone's faces, Chen Dang quickly interrupted,
"I know that. The president of Weilun Company is a stunning beauty. You can check her out on the official website of Juelun Technology Group."
Chen Dang had specifically looked at photos of Jue Lun Technology's management team. When he saw Xue Qingshan, he was also amazed by her beauty. No man is immune to the allure of beautiful women, and Chen Dang was no exception.
Wow, what a beautiful woman?
"Chen Dang, tell me about this CEO!"
"I must be Wei Lun's girlfriend."
"How enviable..."
The students started whispering among themselves, and Wei Lun's face flushed. Where did he get such a beautiful girlfriend? Xue Qingshan was so aloof; he only had such a powerful ally because of Tang Jiao.
Xiao Xiao raised her glass, appearing very magnanimous.
"Let's have a drink together and wish Wei Lun's company all the best in the future, so we can benefit from it too."
Xiao smiled and prepared to clink glasses with his classmates. Everyone raised their glasses, and Wei Lun thanked them profusely and drank a glass.
After finishing her drink, Xiao Xiao changed the subject.
"Everyone, I'll be working in Changhan City from now on. If you need any help in the future, feel free to contact me. As an old classmate, I definitely won't let you down."
Xiao Xiao began to take on more and more responsibilities, because the office he was currently in still held a very important position.
Although Xiao Xiao didn't have much say, he was still quite useful; at least he was able to manage some interpersonal relationships.
When the students heard what Xiao Xiao said, they immediately became excited.
They immediately started flattering and fawning.
"Xiao Xiao is indeed the most promising among all of us classmates!"
"Yes, I think Xiao Xiao will definitely have a successful career in his official career."
"Xiao Xiao, you have a position that many people envy."
...
The men and women began raising their glasses again, this time to congratulate Xiao Xiao.
This was Xiao Xiao's purpose. While it seemed like he was congratulating others at first, he was actually waiting for someone to flatter him and satisfy his vanity.
Zhao Lele kept her eyes fixed on Wei Lun, seemingly trying to glean something from her future boss's gaze.
Everyone was now flattering and smiling at Zhao Lele, who merely nodded in response, secretly wondering if joining Wei Lun's company would allow her to get closer to this boss.
However, judging from his behavior at the dinner table, Wei Lun didn't seem to have any particular preferences; he drank very little and said very few words.
It seems that to gain this boss's approval, I need to achieve some amazing results.
...
While Weren was attending a party, at the same time, in a mansion in the post-apocalyptic world,
Gu Zun, the second largest shareholder of the Sixth Gathering Place, is discussing some secret matters with Cai Zhenshao.
"Boss, food is running out. As the disaster goes on for longer, many supermarkets and warehouses are empty."
Gu Zun complained that the hunting party was finding less and less food outside.
Currently, in the post-apocalyptic world, people mainly rely on mutated beasts, which are then sent to processing plants for protein extraction. As a result, the number of truly edible items in the post-apocalyptic world is decreasing.
Cai Zhenshao sighed.
“We are still shareholders in the community. If we are living such a hard life, what are the people supposed to do?”
Ultimately, Tsai Chen-shao was a good leader who cared about the well-being of everyone.
However, Cai Zhenshao also had his own selfish motives. The reason he kept these ordinary poor people from starving was so that he could better manage the settlement and live a better life.
"Boss, should we talk to Su Hui and Fan Miaomiao about cooperating and giving us priority access to high-quality food in the future?"
Gu Zun completely disdained such poor people; if Cai Zhenshao hadn't kept bringing it up, Gu Zun probably would have just robbed them.
He's a shareholder and a high-ranking leader in the community, yet he's so treacherous. Not only does he disdain these people, but he also frequently does things that cause widespread resentment.
Gu Zun would sometimes use force to suppress those he disliked, and then privately torture them. This was done in such a secret that no one knew how terrifying and inhumane they were.
"Be more careful about how you address them in the future. Don't always call them 'woman.' They are shareholders too."
Cai Zhenshao was somewhat displeased. These two women were the wealthiest people in the community, contributing a considerable amount of money every year.
In Cai Zhenshao's eyes, nothing is more important than food. In such an apocalyptic world, food is the most important thing for survival.
"Got it, boss. What's the background of this new guy, Wei Lun? I've investigated for a long time, but there doesn't seem to be any trace of him."
Gu Zun secretly sent people to conduct an in-depth investigation of Wei Lun, as if he were a person who appeared out of thin air and never existed at all.
The only strange thing was that they started from a valley outpost, where they traded many things for useless gold. Gu Zun was very puzzled.
"Who gave you permission to investigate in private? If they find out, you'll be in deep trouble."
Cai Zhenshao felt quite helpless with this subordinate; he was also one of his trusted confidants, so he couldn't be too harsh on him, since they were all on his side.
"Hmph, you always go easy on me. This is the apocalypse, bro! Wake up! This isn't a time of peace anymore!"
Gu Zun seemed to harbor some resentment, blaming Cai Zhenshao for his incompetence every time he softened his heart.
“Gu Zun, our community must unite.”
Cai Zhenshao shook his head and said that he absolutely did not want any internal strife to occur in the settlement he managed, but that was simply impossible.
"I think this Wei Lun has a very secretive background. He must have some kind of source for his food. We just need to capture him and force him to reveal it, and then we won't have to worry about him anymore!"
Gu Zun said viciously, his greed reaching its peak as he looked at the abundant food in Wei Lun's hands and the fact that they had been eating nothing but pork trotter rice.
Wow, Chen Liangyou, your support gives me so much motivation! Brother Violent Angel?
