Chapter 588: Chapter 562: Primary School Classmates Are All Pretending
Watching the two chat happily, Hou Yong was about to explode with anger.
“Are you two treating me like air?”
“By the way, where are you headed?” Li Ruqi asked.
“Oh, just have some errands to run.” Ye Chen smiled.
“By the way, since you’re back, let’s join the elementary school reunion together this year.”
“What a coincidence, sure.”
Ye Chen was originally a child from the town but transferred to Modu after the fourth grade.
Just as well, Ye Chen also wanted to see his old classmates.
Li Ruqi asked curiously, “Ye Chen, what do you do now?”
Ye Chen smiled, “I drive for DiDi.”
Hearing Ye Chen say he drives for DiDi, they were suddenly stunned.
“Damn, all along this kid is driving for DiDi, almost got fooled by him.”
“So awesome, haha, turns out you’re just a DiDi driver.” Hou Yong couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
At this moment, an old man was crossing the road, and the driver slammed on the brakes.
All the other passengers had their seat belts on, except for Hou Yong, who hit his head on the railing in front.
With a bang, a big bump rose up.
Hou Yong: “…”
At this point, Hou Yong swore he’d never take a bus again.
Ye Chen found it amusing. This King Bi is so miserable; every time he tries to show off to Ye Chen, he ends up unlucky. He could be called the most pitiful King Bi.
Two old elementary school classmates met, very happily chatting for a while.
Li Ruqi, perhaps tired, actually fell asleep on Ye Chen’s shoulder.
Watching Li Ruqi leaning on Ye Chen’s shoulder, Hou Yong was about to explode with anger.
If it weren’t for that kid not letting him sit, he should be the one enjoying this benefit.
After more than an hour’s drive, the car finally arrived at the destination.
Ye Chen woke Li Ruqi with a smile, “Alright, we’re here.”
At this moment, Hou Yong, full of smugness, came over to Li Ruqi’s side.
“Beauty, take my car.”
Hou Yong was leaning against the car with a delighted expression.
To show off to Li Ruqi, he specifically had the driver bring over his dad’s Lamborghini.
But Li Ruqi didn’t even look at Hou Yong, directly heading to get into a taxi with Ye Chen.
Hou Yong was instantly bewildered.
The Lamborghini was his chick magnet, never missing before.
But today, it failed.
This beauty wasn’t a gold-digger at all; had zero interest in his luxury car.
Ye Chen got into the DiDi and first sent a WeChat message to Lin Wanrou, saying he would be late because he was going with Li Ruqi to the elementary school reunion.
The two arrived at Tianmei Grand Hotel via DiDi.
This is the most luxurious four-star hotel in the town.
As soon as they entered the private room, everyone’s attention was on Li Ruqi and Ye Chen.
“Wow, is this Li Ruqi? She’s getting more and more beautiful.”
“Who is this? Looks unfamiliar.”
“Could he be Ruqi’s boyfriend?”
At this moment, a guy wearing glasses suddenly exclaimed, “You are Ye Chen, right?”
Ye Chen smiled and nodded, “You must be Bai Jincheng.”
“Yeah, yeah, we used to go home together after school often. Haha, I never thought I’d see you again.”
The two found seats and sat down.
There was a young man named Shi Yong, dressed in all designer brands, showing off.
“I just graduated from Yelu University abroad. I received an offer from Da Mai Company to be a department manager with a yearly salary, they say, of a million, but I thought about it, and their reputation is too horrible, so I refused directly.”
“Shi Yong, amazing, a million annual salary right after graduation, and you even turned it down?”
Many classmates exclaimed in surprise.
“One million isn’t enough to live on in Modu at all. You guess how much it costs to buy a house in Tangchen Yipin on loan; over ten million, so my minimum requirement is a two million annual salary.”
After hearing Shi Yong’s words, the others didn’t react much.
Everyone now realized he was just showing off.
Ye Chen was amused.
Turning down a million annual salaries, wearing branded clothes that Ye Chen could see were fake, at most worth a few hundred bucks.
The Rolex on his wrist is also fake, probably costing a hundred or so.
Just this, and he’s here showing off.
In Ye Chen’s eyes, this Shi Yong is simply a dabbler in the realm of showing off.
Next to him, Li Ruqi laughed and said, “You should be content, Ye Chen drives for DiDi in Modu, only makes around three or four thousand a month, but seems to be living well.”
Hearing Ye Chen drives for DiDi, those classmates’ eyes were all filled with disdain.
Other classmates started to show off as well.
Some said their cars were trash, only a BMW.
Others bragged about knowing some big shot.
But these show-offs all had only one target, Li Ruqi.
Unfortunately, Li Ruqi didn’t bother with them at all; her attention was all on Ye Chen.
Ye Chen and Li Ruqi were talking and laughing, those King Bis showed off for so long, but felt no presence at all.
At this moment, in front of the hotel, a luxurious Maserati pulled up.
A young man in his twenties, wearing an Armani suit, got out of the car.
Unlike the other show-offs before, this young man seemed to have much substance.
The watch is a Patek Philippe, and the clothes cost hundreds of thousands.
Zhang Chuan!
He also went to elementary school in the town, and his family used to be average. Later, he suddenly inherited a relative’s estate overseas and instantly turned from a nobody into a rich and handsome guy.
Since acquiring wealth, Zhang Chuan has had a flaw; he loves to show off.
This time returning, he was determined to show off well in front of these old classmates.
Especially since his elementary school crush, Li Ruqi, also returned.
He even made up his mind to pursue Li Ruqi this time.
Zhang Chuan walked into the hotel confidently.
He was followed by a female secretary with a big backpack.
The secretary was quite attractive, probably scoring around eighty.
“Young Master, I’ve prepared all the gifts for your classmates.”
“Yes, when we enter the restaurant, distribute them to all the classmates,” Zhang Chuan said full of show-off vibe.
Zhang Chuan does have some looks, plus the designer suit, full of show-off vibe.
He deliberately rolled up his sleeves just to make sure everyone understood he, Zhang Chuan, has money.
Zhang Chuan walked into the private room, originally thinking the classmates would stand up to welcome him.
However, they found every classmate steadfast like Mount Tai, just sitting there watching him.
Zhang Chuan, with an expression of pride, thought that no one had recognized him.
But that made it even more interesting; when he reveals his identity, it would have more impact.
“Who are you?” Indeed, a classmate stood up and asked in confusion.
Zhang Chuan didn’t speak, and this time, his show-off tool, the secretary, stepped in.
“This is our Cosmos Group chairman, Zhang Chuan, a nationally renowned top 100 entrepreneur.”
Zhang Chuan, with an expression of pride, said indifferently, “Little Hong, as I said, let’s keep it low-key, low-key, don’t casually reveal my identity, or it would make everyone uneasy.”
