14: Meet again

Chapter 14: Meeting Again

Liang Jifu: "That's right, Goddess. Did anything happen between you two later? Everyone is so curious!"

Pei Liang: "Exactly! Everyone talks about it at the annual gatherings! Haha, this year we can discuss it in person."

Xu Hongyang: "@Zhou Lili, Goddess, you can consider Li Zhiyan now. His monthly salary is over ten thousand, and he has a house in the Magic City. He's a true success story!"

Li Zhiyan had never mentioned his marriage before.

Looking at these chats now, he felt a bit helpless.

Some gossip really does follow you for a lifetime.

After tidying up his attire, Li Zhiyan sent a message to Old Zhang.

When he arrived outside the residential area, Old Zhang, dressed in a suit, was already waiting there.

Given the current employment situation, both he and Old Sun cherished this hard-earned job.

"Boss, where are we going?"

"Haitian Hotel."

......

5:40 PM.

Many of Li Zhiyan's classmates had already gathered at the entrance of Haitian Hotel.

The most striking among them was still Zhou Lili, the Goddess in everyone's hearts.

Her black professional attire gave her the aura of a sophisticated urban woman.

Her long, wavy hair cascaded over her shoulders, and her graceful figure and fair, beautiful legs were very eye-catching.

Most of the male classmates actually liked Zhou Lili, but none of them had Li Zhiyan's courage.

That's why Li Zhiyan's public confession had been passed down to this day.

"Goddess."

"You look so much better now than you did in senior year."

In senior year, although Zhou Lili was pretty,

she was still quite plain. Now, she was incredibly skilled at makeup and fashion.

Her looks had naturally improved a lot.

"It's all makeup. Girls look much prettier with makeup."

Zhou Lili's voice was also much more pleasant than before.

Wearing high heels, she paced back and forth.

What she said was true; makeup was now considered a dark art.

With good makeup skills, as long as one had a decent base, they could transform into a captivating beauty. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say it was like getting a new head.

"Goddess, it seems you haven't seen Li Zhiyan since graduating from school, have you?"

Liang Jifu asked. After entering society, he had given up on his former fantasies.

People born in the city centers of Magic City or Imperial City were born at the finish line.

And ordinary people like him could never catch up to them.

In the current female-dominated market, with Zhou Lili's looks, she could easily find someone with a house in a new first-tier city.

Finding someone with a house in Magic City was also not a big problem. As for his small house in the county, it was hard for him to find a wife now.

Originally, two people with similar conditions, due to the imbalanced environment of the marriage market, had their status as men significantly lowered.

"I haven't seen him. Actually, not long ago, after I came to Magic City, I invited Li Zhiyan out for a chat."

"But he refused."

As she spoke, the classmates all sensed a faint hint of resentment.

There was indeed a lot of resentment in Zhou Lili's heart.

Before, other boys always took the initiative to invite her out.

But when she invited Li Zhiyan, he not only refused her, but he refused her repeatedly.

Today, she wanted to see what was going on.

"No way, Goddess, Li Zhiyan refused you? He used to be your most loyal admirer."

"Exactly... He even confessed publicly back then. He shouldn't miss such a good opportunity."

Xu Hongyang was very envious. Zhou Lili was showing initiative.

It was clear she saw that Li Zhiyan now had a house in Magic City and his conditions were different.

So she wanted to try to develop something with him, but Li Zhiyan refused her. Could it be that he didn't fancy Zhou Lili anymore?

His standards were too high...

"Maybe Li Zhiyan is really amazing now, or maybe he was really busy that day."

As she spoke, the resentment in her voice was still quite obvious.

Just then, Li Zhiyan's car arrived.

"That car is so cool!"

Li Pan, a female classmate, shouted, pointing at Li Zhiyan's car approaching.

"It's a Mercedes-Benz E, right? Over 500,000 yuan. After confirming the look, it's a car we can't afford."

Huang Feiming was very envious. He was really sick of his used Civic. He simply couldn't afford a car like this, costing over 500,000 yuan.

"That's not right. This is clearly an S-Class. It's much longer than an E-Class. This is a million-level luxury car!"

Hearing "one million for a car," Li Pan's voice was a bit out of control.

"One million for a car! That's enough for a down payment in Magic City! It must be very comfortable to live with such a rich man!"

The car stopped, Old Zhang got out, then came to the back seat.

He respectfully opened the car door.

"Boss, please."

Li Zhiyan nodded and got out of the car.

"Li Zhiyan! You're driving this level of car, and you even have a driver!"

Huang Feiming ran towards Li Zhiyan, his jealousy rising to its peak.

People always feel jealous of the success of those from similar backgrounds. Of course, he still looked very happy on the surface.

And as is human nature, the jealousy of the other boys was also fully ignited at this moment.

Zhou Lili also felt a very uncomfortable sensation in her heart; that feeling of jealousy was very obvious.

She had rejected him before and hadn't been with him.

And now, he was only twenty-three, already riding in a million-dollar luxury car, and even had his own driver.

How much money did he have exactly?

Zhou Lili's mind could no longer imagine it.

Li Zhiyan smiled and greeted his classmates. Old Zhang went to park the car.

His confident and composed demeanor, coupled with his somewhat handsome face, made the female classmates unable to take their eyes off him.

The current Li Zhiyan was simply transformed!
