Chapter 79: Insufficient Talent, Relying on Looks

Facing the young man's inquiry, Wu Hao simply smiled and replied, "Yes!" It turned out that this young man, who was about the same age as Wu Hao, was Liu Ben, Wu Hao's classmate from high school.

Wu Hao had a deep impression of Liu Ben because he had a very loud nickname, "Niubi," in their class.

Moreover, ever since he absorbed the mysterious black meteorite, all the experiences he had gone through from birth until now were deeply imprinted in his memory.

Not to mention his high school classmates, he could even recall the names of his classmates from elementary school.

"Oh, it's really you, Wu Hao!" Liu Ben, upon noticing that Wu Hao recognized him, also laughed cheerfully. "By the way, old classmate, it has been several years. Why haven't you been in touch with our classmates from high school?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Hao felt somewhat helpless. The reason he hadn't been in contact with his high school classmates for these past few years was not only because he went to another city for university, but also because his original QQ account, which was used for communication with his classmates, got hacked after he graduated from the college entrance examination.

After his QQ account, which he had been using since high school, was stolen, and considering that he had been away from home during his university years, he naturally lost contact with his high school classmates.

Soon, Wu Hao and Liu Ben started conversing, and the shop owner who was originally standing at the door, Liu Ben's father, greeted them with a smile and then went inside to attend to other matters.

After a brief conversation with Wu Hao, Liu Ben directly asked about the main matter, "Wu Hao, are you buying all these fireworks and firecrackers to keep at home?"

"Heh! I do have that thought, but I know she probably won't be interested in me. She graduated from a prestigious university, while I've been working with my dad in business since high school. Although business has been good these past few years, I've only made a small amount of money." Liu Ben sighed. Not going to college had always been a regret in his heart. But it was inevitable since he had always been a poor student. His high school entrance exam scores weren't even enough to get into a third-rate university. Although he could have entered a university like that with his grades, he didn't find it appealing at all.

"I think you're overthinking it. With your appearance and decent conditions, why not give it a try and see what happens?" Wu Hao advised.

"Hehe! Wu Hao, you really hit me in the heart with those words. Not to mention, I have a pretty good appearance, and looks can make up for lacking talent. That statement perfectly describes me!" Liu Ben exaggerated, but compared to Wu Hao's average face, he was indeed quite handsome.

However, seeing Liu Ben's playful expression, Wu Hao's face twitched slightly, and he felt an urge to punch him. But this also indicated that Liu Ben was casual and not pretentious, which made Wu Hao feel more comfortable around him.

Seeing Wu Hao's reaction, Liu Ben immediately laughed softly. "Haha! Let's not talk about that. The truth is, Wu Hao, you're not too bad yourself, and you're even generous with your spending. Although we're in an era where looks matter, being wealthy is an exception."

"...," Wu Hao was momentarily speechless in response to his words.

After this conversation, Wu Hao and Liu Ben became more familiar with each other. They loaded the goods, about ten boxes, into Liu Ben's van. It was clearly a cargo van, as the seats in the back rows had been removed to make more space for the goods.

This kind of van, designed specifically for cargo transport, was common in various cities and was no longer a novelty. Large trucks were not allowed in some city areas, so vans had become the mainstream vehicles for transportation.

Firstly, vans were affordable, with even the better models costing only around fifty to sixty thousand yuan. By removing the seats in the back, they could meet the delivery and construction vehicle needs of various industries.
