The powerful cultivators in the city

The next day, at 5:30 pm, Chen Hao drove to the Golden Horse Hotel.

"Sir, are you alone or do you have an appointment?"

After entering the lobby, a waiter came up and asked politely.

"Where is the celebration banquet of Xiyue Group?"

Chen Hao asked.

"In Huiran Hall, go left and it's at the end."

The waiter pointed.

"Thank you."

Chen Hao nodded and walked towards Huiran Hall.

"Chen Hao!"

Suddenly, a voice called out.

Chen Hao stopped and turned to look. He saw a young man in a suit and leather shoes with a briefcase waving at him at the place where he ordered dishes.

"Wenju, why are you here?"

Chen Hao said in surprise, walked over quickly, and clapped hands with the young man enthusiastically.

The young man was Zhang Wenju, his college classmate. The two had a good relationship, but they were busy with their own things after graduation, so they contacted less and less.

"I'm treating people to dinner, what about you?"

Zhang Wenju smiled.

"Our company is having a party here tonight."

Chen Hao said.

Zhang Wenju exclaimed: "I hope I didn't delay your time."

"It's okay, it's just a little after 5:30, I guess my colleagues haven't come yet."

Chen Hao glanced at the clock and said with a smile.

The group's administrative department sent him a text message notifying him of the celebration banquet, which would start at 6 o'clock in the evening.

"Then we can still chat for a while, I'm waiting for someone too."

Zhang Wenju nodded.

"How long have we not seen each other? Your business is doing well, right?"

Chen Hao asked.

Zhang Wenju came from a good family. After graduation, he did not work in the medical field, but opened a materials store.

Judging from his outfit, it is obviously the standard of a successful person, and he should be doing well.

"Not bad."

Zhang Wenju said vaguely with a barely perceptible bitter smile on his lips.

"What about you, are you still working in an advertising company?"

Zhang Wenju asked immediately.

He knew that Chen Hao was a salesman, but he didn't say it to avoid embarrassing his old classmate.

After all, salesman is not a decent job.

"I just changed jobs to this company."

Chen Hao said.

Zhang Wenju nodded, thinking that he was a salesman in a new company, and didn't ask any more.

Then, the two talked about their college days, and they were quite emotional.

In college, they were carefree and could have fun to their heart's content, but when they entered society, they found that real life was so complicated that it was hard to describe in words.

"Zhang Wenju, what are you doing? I asked you to order a dish, but you started chatting with people instead. Don't you know that the guests are coming soon?"

Suddenly, a voice with a reprimanding tone sounded.

Chen Hao turned around and saw a young woman dressed up in fancy clothes walking towards him with an unhappy face.

Liu Ying?

Chen Hao was startled.

Liu Ying was also his college classmate. The two dated for a while, but because Liu Ying was quite vain, Chen Hao took the initiative to break up with her not long after.

"Chen Hao!"

Liu Ying was also quite surprised to see him.

"I have already ordered the dishes. Chen Hao's company is having a party here. I happened to meet him and chatted with him."

Zhang Wenju explained with an embarrassed look on his face.

Liu Ying said "oh" and looked Chen Hao up and down. Seeing that Chen Hao was wearing ordinary casual clothes, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes.

"Chen Hao, long time no see. I heard that you are living a miserable life. What happened? Weren't you very good in school?"

Then, Liu Ying crossed her arms and sneered.

She had been dumped by Chen Hao, and she had been brooding over it. Seeing him now, she naturally wanted revenge.

"Down and out? How can you say that?"

Chen Hao was stunned.

"Aren't you a salesperson in an advertising company? How much can you make a month? Two thousand or three thousand? Is it enough to live on?"

Liu Ying said contemptuously.

"In your eyes, salespeople are down and out?"

Chen Hao sneered.

"Yes, in my eyes, salespeople are almost like beggars."

Liu Ying said proudly.

"Of course, you may not think it's miserable. After all, people are at different levels and have different perceptions."

She said sarcastically, "You probably work hard to earn two dollars a month, which is just my expenses for a few days. Fortunately, we broke up at the beginning, so I didn't get involved in your bad luck."

"Liu Ying, can you say less?"

Zhang Wenju couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but said, "How many years have passed since you and Chen Hao's incident? Is it necessary to be so fussy?"

"Shut up! Do you know what you do for a living?"

Liu Ying's face turned cold, "Without me, you can't even live today.

You don't even have the chance to invite someone to dinner, so you should beg them in a proper way. I thought it was when we were in college."

Zhang Wenju's face flushed, and there was a flash of anger in his eyes, but he remained silent and didn't say anything.

Seeing this, Chen Hao understood.

He was quite surprised just now. Zhang Wenju obviously hated Liu Ying back then, so why did he invite Liu Ying to dinner, and he didn't tell him clearly.

Obviously, he wanted something from Liu Ying.

"Yingying, why did you take so long to urge for the dishes? The guests will be here anytime."

At this time, a short and fat man in his thirties came over.

"Honey, I happened to meet a college classmate, so I'll say a few more words."

Liu Ying saw him, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Come, let me introduce you, this is Chen Hao I mentioned to you, now he works as a salesperson in an advertising company. "

Then, she hugged the short and fat man's arm affectionately, and said to Chen Hao with pride, "My boyfriend Li Tong, the general manager of Jixiang Materials Company, doesn't make too much, with an annual salary of only a few hundred thousand, which is only ten times yours."

"You are Chen Hao. Yingying has mentioned you more than once, saying that you are very noble and hate material women the most."

Li Tong showed a look of realization, and laughed with a sense of superiority, "Sure enough, even you live a life without material things. Yingying didn't choose you at the beginning, which was a wise move."

He knew that Liu Ying hated Chen Hao very much, and now that he saw him, he naturally wanted to help his girlfriend retaliate.

"Husband, how can we, who only care about material things, compare with Chen Hao? He would rather be a salesman and live a poor life without money, and he would not live in a big house of more than 100 square meters like us, drive a good car, eat and drink well every day, and travel around the world freely. "

Liu Ying smiled so happily, and clasped her fists to Chen Hao, saying, "Thank you for not marrying me back then, so that I could find Li Tong and live such a vulgar material life."

As she spoke, she leaned on Li Tong's shoulder intimately, acting very affectionate.

Chen Hao smiled disdainfully.

Originally, he and Liu Ying had changed over time and had long since forgotten about it. If Liu Ying had also let it go, maybe they could still talk about their friendship as classmates. Unexpectedly, this woman was not only more materialistic than before, but also became so hateful.

Society is really a big dye vat.

"Wenju, if you need my help, just say it. I'll go see if my colleague is here first."

He didn't bother to argue with the two of them, and said to Zhang Wenju.

"Go quickly, don't waste time. "

Zhang Wenju hurriedly said.

Zhang Wenju felt bad when he saw his old friend being mocked by Liu Ying and Li Tong, but he couldn't speak for Liu Ying because he had something to ask for. He could only hope that Chen Hao would leave quickly and not be humiliated again.

As for Chen Hao's offer to help, Zhang Wenju didn't take it seriously at all, thinking it was just a polite remark.
