Ready

60: You foul-mouthed rich kid, can you tolerate not hitting me?

Shanhai Grand Hotel.

Fashionable, beautiful, grand, and soaring into the clouds.

Its blue glass curtain wall shimmered brilliantly under the sunlight.

Vaguely.

It had the grandeur of mountains and the breadth of the sea.

It was a landmark building in Jiangcheng City.

And also the most representative high-end hotel in the entire city.

Walking into the magnificent lobby.

Chen Yang saw at a glance.

Xue Song standing there.

Waving excitedly at him.

“Old classmate, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour.”

He clapped Chen Yang’s shoulder, as if old friends were reuniting.

Sincere, ardent, and enthusiastic.

Chen Yang smiled.

And replied calmly.

“You’ve gone to a lot of trouble, old classmate!”

Xue Song affectionately pulled Chen Yang towards the elevator.

“We’re old classmates, no need to be so polite.”

“Many people have already arrived in the private room upstairs; it’s going to be very lively today.”

At this moment.

Xue Song was secretly pleased.

Poor guy!

Now let you feel our enthusiasm.

Later.

I’ll let you experience what it means to be utterly humiliated, to be at your wit’s end, and to be at the end of your rope!

Hahahaha!

The extreme contrast of emotions will surely be very satisfying!

Chen Yang glanced at him.

And sneered inwardly.

Lively? Of course, it will be very lively!

You’ve gone to such great lengths and put on such a grand display.

If it’s not lively, how can it live up to your meticulous planning?

You little rascal, you’re quite a good actor!

Did you attend an acting workshop to specialize in performance?

Not winning an Oscar.

Would be a waste of your excellent acting skills!

If not for the intelligence alert.

He really wouldn’t have known—

Such an enthusiastic guy was actually Huang Sanjin’s capable subordinate!

And was secretly plotting against him!

While the two were waiting for the elevator.

From the main entrance.

A young man in a suit walked in.

It was Mayor Li Zhenjiang’s secretary.

Secretary Wang.

A portly middle-aged man was already waiting at the door, enthusiastically greeting him.

Extending both hands from afar.

“Director Wang, thank you for gracing us with your presence!”

“It’s truly my honor that you could come!”

“The private room is ready; shall we go upstairs!”

Secretary Wang gave a light handshake and then released his hand.

His demeanor was perfectly poised.

“Director Lu, don’t be a stranger, let’s go.”

Lu Weimin was the head of the Municipal Bureau of Commerce, usually very imposing.

But—

In front of the Mayor’s secretary, he behaved with utmost deference.

He stepped back half a pace, standing to the side.

Allowing Secretary Wang to walk in front.

He followed a half-step behind, guiding with an outstretched hand.

“Please come this way.”

Secretary Wang led the way.

Full of presence.

He looked up and saw a young man in the distance who seemed a bit familiar.

Upon closer inspection—

It seemed to be that arrogant person from the Mayor’s family banquet.

Chen Yang?

Yes, it was him!

His eyes lit up, and he squeezed out a fawning smile.

He quickened his steps to catch up.

Just then, Chen Yang entered the elevator.

“Chen…”

Secretary Wang wanted to call out, but it was already too late.

The elevator doors closed.

He had no choice but to give up.

Alas!

He finally ran into him, wanted to show goodwill, but missed the chance.

Just a bit of fate was missing!

Secretary Wang felt disappointed, but on the surface, he remained composed.

His expression unchanged, he continued to walk forward.

Lu Weimin felt a little strange but didn’t dare to ask too many questions.

There were many rules in officialdom.

Don’t ask what shouldn’t be asked, and for what shouldn’t be known, it’s best to pretend not to see it.

He led Secretary Wang to the 9th floor.

Secretary Wang looked up and saw the three characters “Qingyun Hall” hanging at the entrance.

He nodded slightly and stepped inside.

Lu Weimin saw it and secretly rejoiced.

A good start, keep up the good work!

Today’s main topic was a nephew of Lu Weimin, named Town Mayor Lu.

He was currently the Town Mayor of Qianshan Town in Binjiang County, under Jiangcheng City.

Town Mayor Lu had been in the position of Town Mayor for five years.

He had long grown tired of the dull backwardness of the small town; he wanted to transfer to the city to experience the urban prosperity.

Lu Weimin had also gone to great lengths for Town Mayor Lu.

Not only did he invite the Mayor’s chief secretary to pull strings.

He also invited a big entrepreneur, Song Boyun, worth billions, to accompany them.

The Shanhai Grand Hotel’s prices were not low.

If Song Boyun hadn’t paid the bill, Lu Weimin would truly have been reluctant to spend such a fortune.

Secretary Wang was very satisfied.

Director Lu had thought of everything; this gathering would naturally be harmonious and pleasant.

As for whether things could be accomplished, that remained to be seen.

On the other side.

Xue Song pulled Chen Yang to Juyi Hall on the 9th floor.

Pushing open the door.

Over a dozen old classmates were already seated inside.

Some were chatting enthusiastically, others seemed a bit quiet.

Some were beaming with joy, others looked gloomy.

Seeing Chen Yang enter.

A few people simply greeted him.

Most of them remained still, doing whatever they were doing.

Only two people stood up excitedly.

One was Liu Changhe.

The other was Chen Yang’s best buddy, Xu Wenqing.

“Yang Zi, you’re here!”

Liu Changhe excitedly ran over and pulled Chen Yang to Xu Wenqing’s side.

“Old Xu, see, I told you Yang Zi would definitely come!”

Chen Yang looked at Xu Wenqing, sizing him up and down.

His eyes felt sore.

“Brother, you’ve gotten thinner!”

Xu Wenqing was also a bit moved.

But he held it back, not showing it.

“Yang Zi, incredible, after a few years, you’ve even learned to be sentimental?”

Xu Wenqing patted Chen Yang’s shoulder.

Just like many years ago, attending classes together, sleeping in the same dormitory.

“Long time no see, how have you been?”

Chen Yang smiled and nodded.

“Not bad, no worries about food and clothing.”

“Wenqing, how about you? How are things?”

Xu Wenqing seemed to deliberately avoid something.

“Me?… Also not bad, with hands and feet, making a living is no problem.”

“By the way, how is Uncle’s health?”

Chen Yang looked at him deeply.

This buddy.

He’d been strong-willed since childhood, and he was still the same now!

“My dad’s illness, the surgery was very successful; he should fully recover after a period of recuperation.”

Xu Wenqing was overjoyed.

“That’s great, what a blessing!”

“I’ll go see the old man another day when I’m free!”

“Last time, your family was in difficulty, I was really embarrassed, I didn’t have money to lend Auntie…”

Chen Yang quickly interrupted him.

“Wenqing, don’t say that, I understand!”

“If you have any difficulties, you can also tell me, I am now…”

Before Chen Yang could finish.

Xu Wenqing immediately changed the subject.

“Good brother, after a few years, let’s not talk about these unhappy things.”

“Tell me, how have you been recently?”

“Just now Da Liu said you struck it rich and have several female confidantes; I don’t believe it!”

“That guy, he talks nonsense and loves to brag!”

...The three formed a small circle and chatted enthusiastically.

At this moment.

A young man with slick, shiny hair, wearing a famous watch, and holding a Mercedes-Benz car key.

Walked into the private room, swaying his head with every step.

“Brothers, long time no see!”

Chen Yang turned his head and frowned.

The other dozen or so classmates all stood up with a rustle.

Greeting him one after another.

A few even ran over enthusiastically to shake his hand.

“Brother Jiang is here! We’ve all been waiting for you!”

“Yes, yes! Brother Jiang is the richest young master in our county town; when he stomps his foot, everyone trembles!”

“Then you’re wrong; is Brother Jiang someone who shows off his wealth? He attracts beautiful women solely through his personal charm!”

“Hahahaha… Yes! Yes! Brother Jiang’s name, in our county town, men might not know, but all the women yearn for him day and night, drooling over him!”

...As soon as Jiang Lang entered, he was like the moon surrounded by stars.

Being praised and flattered.

Only Chen Yang, Liu Changhe, and Xu Wenqing remained seated.

Not giving him face.

This person was the third party when Bai Xiaoyue betrayed Chen Yang back then.

How could they possibly tolerate him?

If it weren’t for the fact that the other party was rich, beating him up would be a mild response.

The three men’s indifference.

Formed a stark contrast with the enthusiasm of the others.

It quickly caught Jiang Lang’s attention.

He glanced over, saw Chen Yang, and a provocative expression appeared on his face.

“Oh! Who do we have here?”

“So it’s Chen Yang!”

“I heard your dad didn’t have money for treatment, and now… is he dead?”
