74: Chapter 74 A Thorn in My Eyes!

Most of those people were his university classmates or students from neighboring classes.

It had been less than a year, and seeing those familiar faces again made him feel a bit dazed.

"Things really have changed!"

Shen Zhou shook his head with a smile and followed the signs quickly to the Luanjing Hall on the second floor.

Upon entering, he discovered that the room was already packed with dozens of people.

However, the overall space was still quite spacious.

The atmosphere at the scene was already becoming quite lively.

The sound of cheering was incessant.

"Shen Zhou, why are you only arriving now? Gu Jianqiu said you were coming, but I didn't really believe it!"

The person speaking was Lu Jungang, one of Shen Zhou's university roommates.

Lu Jungang loved fitness in university and opened a private gym after graduation.

In this era of national fitness, he was living quite comfortably.

"Hahaha, that guy Gu Jianqiu never lies; I knew Shen Zhou would definitely come!"

A rather thin guy stood up.

This guy was a full 1.9 meters tall, but weighed only 140 jin.

He looked completely frail and sickly.

Because of this, he had the nickname Kuai Zi, and his real name was Fang Qiang.

But he didn't look strong at all.

Because of this, he was often teased by others in university.

"Kuai Zi, Lu Jungang, long time no see."

Shen Zhou also happily messed around with them.

"Old Shen, how have you been lately?"

It was Kuai Zi, Fang Qiang, who spoke.

His eyes were full of concern.

He had also heard about Shen Zhou's breakup with Lu Qinglian.

Therefore, he was quite concerned about Shen Zhou's current situation.

After all, the group had a pretty good relationship back in university.

"It's alright, just getting by, barely managing to make ends meet."

Shen Zhou replied with a smile.

"You must not give up on yourself; the brothers are waiting for you to strike it rich and take us out for good food and drink."

Kuai Zi heavily patted Shen Zhou on the shoulder.

Lu Jungang also laughed and said:

"That's right, I have the same thought."

"And I'm planning to open another shop soon, but not for fitness; this time I'm planning to do desserts!"

Lu Jungang was very enthusiastic about the topic.

The focus of the discussion was the uniforms for the female employees at the dessert shop.

He emphasized that the design style of the uniforms must be close to the frontline female employee uniforms of Fenlilai.

"Lu Jungang, I've decided to be your good brother for life."

"How did you know I like desserts!"

Kuai Zi, Fang Qiang, grabbed Lu Jungang's arm.

"Cut it out, you like the female clerks at Fenlilai, right?"

Shen Zhou, standing to the side, couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After some conversation, they found that everyone was doing reasonably well.

At the very least, they hadn't reached the point of not being able to afford a meal.

For a fresh university graduate, having a fairly satisfactory job was already quite good.

"By the way, Old Shen, have you had any contact with Ju Weiwei since then?"

"Do you know her current situation?"

"I remember you used to have a crush on Ju Weiwei."

Lu Jungang couldn't help but tease him.

Even when he caught a glimpse of Ju Weiwei's figure passing by the table out of the corner of his eye, his voice became a little louder.

"Lu Jungang, stop spouting nonsense; we're all grown up, why are you still playing those elementary school games?"

Kuai Zi, Fang Qiang, on the side was a bit speechless.

Fearing that Shen Zhou would feel embarrassed, he hurriedly changed the subject.

"It's okay, Kuai Zi, that's all in the past; thinking about it now, it's actually quite interesting."

Shen Zhou couldn't help but laugh.

Thinking back to all the things that happened when he first entered university, he was quite nostalgic now.

"By the way, do you guys know anything about Ju Weiwei's boyfriend? I heard his family background is quite good."

Shen Zhou, feeling a bit curious, asked casually.

"I only know that the two of them have a good relationship; they went to work at the same company after graduation, and it seems to be a big company."

"I heard a while ago that the guy is about to get a promotion, something like becoming a manager."

Lu Jungang was quite knowledgeable about these bits of gossip.

Back in university, he had a very good social circle, not to mention that now that he was running a small business, he had more sources of information.

At the very least, many of his former classmates still kept in touch with him.

Many of them even worked out at his private gym.

Of course, Lu Jungang basically didn't charge them.

"Oh, look over there!"

Kuai Zi, Fang Qiang, suddenly shouted.

The group looked up and discovered that the subject they were just discussing was slowly approaching from not far to the right.

This person was none other than Ju Weiwei's boyfriend, Wen Jihui.

He was holding a glass of red wine in his hand, greeting people as he walked into the middle of the room.

Because Wen Jihui was doing well, besides the original classmates, some of his colleagues and friends were also present.

At this moment, Wen Jihui appeared smug and satisfied, his royal blue suit shimmering under the lights.

He took a casual sip of red wine, a flush appearing on his face, and his gaze swept around with a sense of superiority.

He hadn't walked many steps before he saw Shen Zhou and the others chatting and laughing at the table.

When he saw Shen Zhou in his unbranded sportswear, Wen Jihui's eyes immediately lit up.

The guy immediately walked towards Shen Zhou and the others.

"Shen Zhou, and Kuai Zi and Lu Jungang, and Gu Jianqiu, it really has been a long time!"

"How have you been lately? Is everything alright?"

Although the guy had a smile on his face, it still gave Shen Zhou and the others a feeling of hypocrisy.

However, their relationship back then was only average, so maintaining superficial harmony was still possible.

Lu Jungang was the first to stand up.

"Yo, isn't this the handsome Wen? I heard you're going to be a manager, congratulations!"

"You'll have to bring people to support my private gym in the future."

Lu Jungang said these polite words with a smile.

But how much truth there was in those words, only he himself knew.

"The few of us just found some random jobs."

"Barely considered a small supervisor, life is alright."

Kuai Zi, Fang Qiang, also introduced himself casually.

Gu Jianqiu also introduced his recent situation casually.

Among the group of four, except for Shen Zhou, the other three had a monthly income of over ten thousand.

Compared to university graduates of the same period, they could definitely be considered very outstanding.

"Hahaha, that's pretty good, either being your own boss or a supervisor, I'm relieved that everyone is doing well."

Wen Jihui said a few polite words, then suddenly turned his gaze towards Shen Zhou on the side.

"Shen Zhou, back in university, you were the most capable, you even joined several clubs, and were even the vice president of the student council."

"How are you now? You must be doing quite well."

"When you become a big boss in the future, be sure to take care of my business."

Wen Jihui continued with these pleasantries.

In university, he was reckless and irritable, but now, on the verge of becoming a manager, he was smug and satisfied, speaking with a practiced ease.

Not to mention, he knew that Shen Zhou was his biggest love rival back then.
