58: Chapter 58 Not even worthy to carry his shoes!

"Shen Zhou, my husband is the next successor to a family business."

"How could a regular university graduate like you ever compare to my husband?"

"I advise you to apologize quickly. For the sake of our first love, I've done all I can!"

Lin Manzhi said with a chuckle.

Although her words were impolite, her eyes remained fixed on Shen Zhou.

The gleam in them hadn't diminished in the slightest, like a predator about to begin the hunt.

"Forget the apology; he's not qualified for that."

Shen Zhou shook his head, feeling speechless.

Judging by Lin Manzhi's behavior, the groom had likely already been cuckolded many times over.

Shen Zhou had no desire to continue bickering with her.

Soon, he walked past the couple and headed straight into the wedding venue.

"Is he crazy? How dare he talk to me like that?"

"Isn't he just a broke college graduate?"

Watching Shen Zhou's nonchalant retreating figure, the groom gritted his teeth.

If only today wasn't his big day.

He would definitely bring his usual lackeys and break that guy's legs!

Lin Manzhi also stared straight at Shen Zhou's back.

Her face was full of obsession; she didn't even care to make excuses for Shen Zhou.

But in her heart, she still felt some regret.

"So many years have passed, and he really is still the stubborn little boy from back then. He hasn't changed a bit."

"It's just a pity that an honest person like him is destined to fail in society."

"However, I could find some time to go see him."

Judging by Lin Manzhi's extremely picky standards, she could conclude that Shen Zhou must have a top-tier physique.

Plus the added allure of being her first love.

She couldn't wait to find Shen Zhou.

A night together was probably out of the question.

Regardless, she still had to reminisce about the past first.

Meanwhile, Shen Zhou found an empty seat and sat down.

Across from him, two young men were already chatting away.

Both of these guys were dressed in suits and leather shoes.

One of them kept shaking his wrist from time to time, terrified that others wouldn't see his watch.

"Oh, look, another brother has arrived."

"Brother, you're dressed so shabbily, you're probably not one of Lin Manzhi's admirers, right?"

"Exactly, brother, what exactly is your relationship with Lin Manzhi?"

The two young men couldn't help but ask.

"I suppose you could say that. I was her first love in middle school."

Shen Zhou said nonchalantly.

It was all ancient history from years ago; there was no need to hide it.

"Damn, brother, you're for real? How far did you guys go back then?"

One of the young men couldn't help but exclaim.

Shen Zhou frowned slightly.

This guy was so rude.

"Don't even think about it. This guy had just started dating Lin Manzhi back then when I stole his girlfriend."

"Even if anything were to happen, that would be between me and Lin Manzhi."

Sun Tao walked over quickly and sat down next to Shen Zhou with a smug look on his face.

"Oh, so this brother is also one of Lin Manzhi's ex-boyfriends?"

The gossip duo immediately looked at Sun Tao excitedly.

"That's right, I suppose I was Lin Manzhi's second boyfriend."

"Actually, I didn't like her that much back then, but since I was stealing someone else's girlfriend, the experience was quite good."

Sun Tao looked at Shen Zhou with a mocking smile.

"Really? Why does that sound like a plot from a movie?"

"And this brother, did you just watch your girlfriend get stolen back then?"

"Yeah, brother, that was your first love, right?"

The gossip duo had already started subconsciously stirring up trouble.

"He tried to hit me back then, but I had people beat him up instead."

Sun Tao said triumphantly.

"Brother, you're awesome. You were that powerful even in middle school?"

The gossip duo immediately looked at Sun Tao with admiration.

One of them even gave a thumbs up on the spot.

The two asked Sun Tao for details about his time with Lin Manzhi.

Sun Tao bragged about it again.

This immediately made the gossip duo seem like they had completely become Sun Tao's lackeys.

"I feel like I've hit it off with you two brothers today."

"May I ask where you two work?"

Sun Tao asked with an affected air.

"I work in sales at a company. With base salary and commission, I make nearly twenty thousand."

"I'm in e-commerce. My income is relatively higher, about one hundred thousand a month."

The two stated their incomes without hesitation.

It was obvious they both considered themselves successful people.

"Buddy, what about you?"

The two looked at Sun Tao simultaneously.

"I'm in landscaping, specializing in government contracts."

"This work relies mainly on connections. The income is so-so, making a few tens of thousands a month."

Sun Tao said nonchalantly.

"Damn, brother, you're amazing. You really are the powerhouse who was so influential even back in middle school!"

"Brother, landscaping is a very lucrative business. I think you're being too modest!"

With the two of them stroking his ego, Sun Tao became even more smug.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key."

Sun Tao pressed his hands down, acting all high and mighty.

The three men's discussion didn't affect Shen Zhou.

Because no matter how much money they made or how many connections they had, they could never compare to him.

However, thinking of the word "landscaping," Shen Zhou suddenly had an idea.

After all, the Lin Group where Lin Lan worked wasn't just involved in the entertainment industry.

And a portion of the city's infrastructure also seemed to be under the control of the Lin Group.

Among them was the very lucrative landscaping project.

Just then, Sun Tao and the other two suddenly looked at Shen Zhou.

"Hey, top student, where are you working now?"

Sun Tao asked with contempt.

The gossip duo could no longer satisfy his vanity.

He aimed his target at Shen Zhou.

"I'm a planner at an entertainment company."

"Life is, well, enough to get by."

Shen Zhou said calmly.

His current income was indeed enough to "get by."

Whether it was young, beautiful college students or third-tier celebrities in the entertainment industry.

He could have whoever he wanted.

"Getting by? Is being satisfied with just getting by something to be proud of?"

"I remember the university you got into back then was pretty good, right?"

"How come you couldn't even find a good job after graduating?"

Sun Tao shook his head slightly, full of disdain.

"If college students these days don't have connections and power, how can they find any good jobs?"

"So what if you were good at studying back then? Aren't you still working under someone like me now?"

The young man in e-commerce said smugly.

What Shen Zhou was wearing was a set of casual wear he had customized from a private studio a while ago.

Although the price of this casual wear was nearly a million, it looked plain and unremarkable on the outside.

This made the trio feel that Shen Zhou posed no threat at all.

Therefore, their mockery was considered justified.

"Heh, there are indeed people stronger than me."

"But as for you three, I'm afraid you're not even worthy of carrying my shoes!"

Shen Zhou said bluntly.
