Chapter 95

Li Wenxuan stood up with his glass in hand, letting his gaze drift slowly over those present.

“We’re all old classmates here, so I won’t beat around the bush. I’ll just say this, even though I’m currently doing a bit better than everyone, don’t feel distant. No matter what happens, if there’s any way I can help, I definitely will.”

“Good…”

As soon as he finished speaking, the room immediately burst into warm applause, even more enthusiastic than the applause for Jiang Zi’s earlier speech.

“Wenxuan is really down to earth, although he’s doing better than all of us now, he doesn’t put on any airs.”

“Yeah, Wenxuan is the most successful one in our class. A single watch of his is worth two or three years of our salary.”

“You haven’t seen the car Wenxuan drives, an Audi A6, over five hundred thousand off the lot.”

“Really? I didn’t see that. Wenxuan, what kind of business are you in now? Can you take us old classmates along for the ride to wealth?”

“Right, right, right, if there’s a good project, don’t forget us…”

Everyone started vying with one another to flatter Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan waved his hands modestly, “Hey, what wealth? I’m just doing a little business, barely making ten or eight million a year.”

His remark sparked even more exclamations.

“Tsk tsk tsk, listen to Wenxuan, making ten or eight million a year and calling it a small business. What about the big ones then?”

“I originally thought it would be great if Wenxuan could make a few hundred thousand or a million a year, but ten million?”

“Small-minded, too small-minded. The moment I saw Wenxuan today, with the air he has about him, I knew he was into big business.”

“Yeah, yeah, not only is Wenxuan handsome, but now he’s also in big business. A typical tall, rich and handsome guy!”

“Wenxuan, there must be lots of girls chasing after you, right? What type do you like? I can introduce a few to you.”

Initially, Li Wenxuan was floating on air with all the praise, but when he heard this question, he subconsciously looked towards Jiang Zi.

He immediately became furious.

Tang Feng and Jiang Zi were clearly not engaging in the flattery, instead focusing on their own food.

Just when Li Wenxuan looked their way, Tang Feng was peeling a shrimp and handing the shrimp meat to Jiang Zi.

Jiang Zi initially intended to catch it with her plate.

But Tang Feng insisted on putting it directly into her mouth.

Jiang Zi hesitated for a moment before opening her mouth to bite the shrimp meat.

Yet Tang Feng deliberately teased her by pulling it back as she leaned in.

And as she closed her mouth, he presented it to her once more.

Annoyed, Jiang Zi pinched him at his waist.

Li Wenxuan watched their playful banter, feeling a surge of anger and “bang” slammed his chopsticks onto the table.

Ever since the meeting today, Jiang Zi had been indifferent to his advances, but looked favorably upon Tang Feng.

What exactly made this guy better than him?

The male classmate sitting to his right noticed his expression and Tang Feng who was making merry, realizing that this was a good opportunity to win Li Wenxuan’s favor.

“Tang Feng, last year in the chat group, you mentioned you worked at a real estate company. How’s it going now? You must be a leader by now, right?”

Because of the distance, he had to raise his voice to be heard, immediately quieting the other classmates.

Tang Feng had to stop chatting with Jiang Zi and looked up at him.

After pondering for a while, he remembered his name.

This person was named Fang Hongbin, who at school was the typical bad student involved in fights and skirmishes with local thugs.

It was heard he didn’t get into university and went off to work.

Today, he was wearing a floral shirt with a tattoo on his arm, not looking like someone with a respectable job.

But Tang Feng didn’t look down on him and replied with a smile, “I’ve resigned, now I have switched to another job.”

“Resigned? The real estate company was pretty good, wasn’t it? Why resign?” Fang Hongbin kept digging.

“This…”

Tang Feng didn’t know how to explain it to him, especially since they weren’t close and he felt no need to tell him the real reason, so he just made an excuse, “Because the job required a lot of socializing, and I can’t drink, so I quit.”

“Hehe.”

Suddenly, Li Wenxuan laughed twice, “Tang Feng, we’re all classmates here, no one will laugh at you. Is there really a need to lie?”

Fang Hongbin immediately played along as the stooge, “Lie? What lie did he tell?”

The other classmates all put down their chopsticks, turning their attention to Li Wenxuan.

Li Wenxuan glanced at Tang Feng with a slight smile on his lips, “He didn’t resign, but was fired.”

“Huh…”

The private room immediately erupted in exclamations as everyone turned their gaze towards Tang Feng as if to verify the truth of Li Wenxuan’s words.

Tang Feng frowned slightly but remained silent.

Indirectly confirming the truth of the statement.

Fang Hongbin teamed up with Li Wenxuan again, “Fired? For what reason?”

Li Wenxuan took a sip of red wine and picked up a bite of food, speaking while eating, “I heard that Tang Feng hit their company’s boss and got himself fired. I bet no company would dare to hire him now and he must be unemployed at the moment, right?”

Although his words were addressed to everyone, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Zi.

Clearly, he wanted her to see Tang Feng’s current situation for what it was, to not jump into a pitfall.

Upon his explanation, the room boiled over with chatter.

“Tang Feng actually hit his boss? Isn’t that too impulsive?”

“Getting fired for assault, with that sort of black mark, it’ll be hard to find a job in the future.”

“Tang Feng, we’re all old classmates. Why didn’t you share something like that with us? We could’ve lent a hand.”

“Tang Feng, I don’t mean to criticize, but why have you become so impulsive? You don’t think things through!”

“Now that you’re unemployed, how are you managing with food and housing? Do you need our help?”

“Don’t be formal with us, if you need anything just speak up, we’ll help however we can…”
