12: Chapter 12 Alone at the Banquet in a Feathered Outfit, Everyone Else Was Wearing Feathered Outfits

Zhao Feiyu didn't say much; he took out his phone and started entering the transfer details.

Before long, Zhang Baiyu received a confirmation message from his company.

In normal times, this 500 million really wouldn't be much for the Jiaxing Group, but right now, it was the lifeline for the entire Zhang family!

Zhang Baiyu was so excited he couldn't speak.

He stepped forward and hugged Zhao Feiyu directly. 'Brother, I won't say much in the way of thanks. From now on, you are my brother, Zhang Baiyu's brother, and a brother to the Jiaxing Group!'

Zhang Baiyu hadn't expected that in the time it took to smoke a cigarette, his crisis would be so easily resolved.

Zhang Baiyu didn't offer any extra pleasantries.

After thanking him, he turned and left.

Watching Zhang Baiyu's retreating figure,

Zhao Feiyu shook his head and sighed, 'What a pity! Why aren't you a woman!'

If Zhang Baiyu were a woman, even if her looks were below 50 points, there would have been a chance for a ten-fold cash rebate.

A five-billion opportunity, just wasted on a grown man like that.

However, Zhao Feiyu firmly believed that he could earn more than five billion in wealth from Zhang Baiyu.

Returning to the entrance of the operating room, Zhang Yafei asked suspiciously, 'Why were you gone so long?'

'It's nothing, I ran into an acquaintance!'

As he finished speaking, the operating room door opened.

'Family of Zhang Huanyin!'

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu and Zhang Yafei immediately ran over.

The surgery on Zhang Yafei's mother went very smoothly. This made the two of them breathe a sigh of relief.

In the following days, Zhang Yafei stayed at the hospital to take care of her mother, and Zhao Feiyu received a call from Song Manli.

Not having been in contact for a few days, he actually missed her a bit.

Zhao Feiyu, who had a serious 'first love' complex, still held certain feelings for Song Manli in his heart.

'Eight o'clock tonight, Chaoyang International Hotel, don't be late!' Song Manli reminded him over the phone.

'Do you want me to pick you up?' Zhang Yafei wasn't using the car lately, so Zhao Feiyu could just drive it.

'Okay! Did you buy a car?' Song Manli readily agreed.

'Yeah!'

At 7:30 PM, Zhao Feiyu drove to Song Manli's doorstep. When Song Manli saw Zhao Feiyu's sports car, she was instantly stunned.

'My god! A porsche, whose are you driving?'

Zhao Feiyu smiled slightly, got out of the car, opened the door, and gentlemanly let Song Manli get in.

Today, Zhao Feiyu was wearing a casual suit with a middle-parted airy fringe. It maximized his physique's proportions.

He exuded a charming aura, making Song Manli involuntarily dazed for a moment.

This look of Zhao Feiyu's was one she had never seen when they were dating back then.

And all of this was thanks to Zhang Yafei. Hearing that Zhao Feiyu was going to a class reunion, after settling her mother's affairs, Zhang Yafei personally took Zhao Feiyu to a fashion boutique. She arranged an outfit for him from head to toe, dressing Zhao Feiyu up exquisitely.

'I'm driving a friend's. How could I afford a car like this!' Zhao Feiyu chuckled.

But Song Manli, sitting to the side, frowned slightly. 'When did you become so hypocritical?'

Song Manli thought that Zhao Feiyu had intentionally borrowed the luxury car to show off in front of his classmates. And Song Manli hated such people the most.

At the same time, Zhao Feiyu suddenly heard: [Song Manli's favorability -5, current favorability 80]

Hearing this, Zhao Feiyu immediately understood what Song Manli was thinking.

But right now, since the words were already out, there was no need to explain.

Zhao Feiyu had originally wanted to hide his identity, but who would have thought it would lead to a misunderstanding by Song Manli.

In the silence between them, the car soon drove toward the Chaoyang International Hotel.

At the hotel entrance, the car pulled to a steady stop.

The doorman immediately opened the door and gentlemanly helped Song Manli out.

Zhao Feiyu casually tossed the key, and the doorman immediately prepared to drive it to the parking lot.

Just at this moment, a BMW suddenly drove up from behind. The two turned to look.

They discovered that Gao Qiang had gotten out of the car with three other classmates.

'Oh my! Zhao Feiyu, is this your sports car?'

Seeing this, Gao Qiang felt a bit sour inside.

Today was supposed to be a reunion he organized, where he wanted to show off his success from years of navigating society in front of his classmates.

But Zhao Feiyu had arrived in a porsche sports car, clearly stealing his thunder.

'I say, Zhao Feiyu, this car isn't rented, is it!'

Beside Gao Qiang, the other three classmates immediately mocked him. 'I see it doesn't even have license plates on yet!'

'Yeah, didn't you just get divorced? How could you afford a porsche? This looks like a porsche 718, it's over a million!'

Hearing this, Gao Qiang finally breathed a sigh of relief. 'Yeah, I heard you were living in a rental before, and Li Yunlei said you left the marriage with nothing. This car is rented, right? We're all classmates, why be so hypocritical? Unlike me, I run a company and only drive a BMW!'

Zhao Feiyu glanced at Song Manli beside him. He didn't explain, just smiled slightly and said, 'It's indeed not mine; I borrowed it from a friend!'

'Haha! You really borrowed it?' Gao Qiang burst into laughter immediately.

He walked up to Zhao Feiyu and patted his shoulder. 'Let me gift you a poem!'

'Attending the banquet alone in a fancy suit, just a classmate putting on airs!'

'Haha!' The other three classmates behind him burst into laughter.

'Class monitor, your literary talent hasn't diminished at all!'

Seeing this scene, Song Manli immediately walked into the hotel. 'Manli!'

Seeing this, Gao Qiang immediately chased after her. All these years, Gao Qiang had known that Song Manli was also in Jiangbei. He didn't know how long he had been trying to contact her privately.

But Song Manli never gave him a chance.

Looking at Song Manli's graceful figure, Gao Qiang's gaze narrowed. 'I must take you down today!'

In the hotel's huge private room, over twenty classmates had already arrived.

Seeing Gao Qiang and the others walk in, everyone immediately stood up.

Some even rushed over to greet them.

At this moment, Zhao Feiyu had walked in first.

Those classmates pushed Zhao Feiyu to the side and pulled Gao Qiang over to ask about his well-being.

'Class monitor, it's really been a long time!'

'Sorry, I'm late!'

Gao Qiang smiled slightly and nodded at everyone in the room.

'It's okay, it's okay, we just arrived not long ago too!'

'By the way, do you know who we invited today?' 'Who?'

Gao Qiang looked around and immediately saw a middle-aged man over fifty, slightly bald, wearing glasses. 'The class counselor, Teacher Qian!'

A man who was fawning and flattering immediately trotted to the middle-aged man's side and shouted loudly, 'Everyone, welcome Teacher Qian!!'

'Clap, clap, clap!' A round of applause immediately rang out in the private room.

Gao Qiang quickly walked over and shook hands with Teacher Qian. 'Teacher Qian, I didn't expect you to be able to come to our reunion. I asked several people to contact you, but they couldn't reach you!'

Teacher Qian secretly pursed his lips, thinking to himself, 'Bragging, aren't you? We greeted each other just a while ago; you clearly didn't want to invite me!'

But even so, Teacher Qian looked at Gao Qiang with gratification and smiled. 'I came to Jiangbei a while ago due to a work reassignment; it's normal that the students didn't know!'

'So that's how it is, everyone sit down, everyone sit down!'

Gao Qiang hurriedly gestured for everyone else to sit down.

And after Zhao Feiyu looked around, he discovered there was no seat for him at all.
