Financial freedom starts with cracked apps.

Chunjiangnan Hotel.

When Lin Shen arrived by taxi, he found that there were quite a few people having a meal together, and the parking lot at the entrance was already full of cars.

Luckily I didn't drive, otherwise parking would have been really difficult.

Lin Shen suddenly became more awake, then took out his phone and opened WeChat, only to find new messages in his high school classmates' group that he hadn't opened in a long time.

[Zhao Feng: Anqing Hall, 3rd floor! Everyone should try to come! The cost will be split among the boys later, and it's free for the girls.]
Ah!
Upon seeing this news, Lin Shen was truly amused.

What era are we living in? Why are people still using this sycophantic act?
Do you really think girls will be grateful to you for giving things away for free?

He just wanted to invite more girls to liven things up and maybe get some food too.

After all, isn't that the purpose of a class reunion?
Lin Shen snorted inwardly, then swaggered into the elevator to the third floor, where he found the doors to the Anqing Hall wide open.

The two huge round tables inside were already crowded with people, and at a glance, they were all familiar yet unfamiliar faces.

Everyone has grown up, and their appearance is very different from that in high school.

However, most of the changes are to body features; unless one is extremely overweight, facial features are difficult to alter.

Therefore, Lin Shen immediately recognized the tall Zhao Feng standing in the center of the private room, and He Ning beside him.

Is that He Ning?

Lin Shen couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

He vaguely remembered that He Ning was the most beautiful girl in his class, got along very well with the boys, and had a very enthusiastic personality.

But why is she out and about in such a sexy outfit after all these years?

Could it be that he's been studying at nightclubs for the past few years?
It's not impossible.

Lin Shen vaguely remembered that a group of girls, led by He Ning, especially liked to discuss celebrities and gossip, and also liked to dress up.

They might restrain themselves a bit during high school, but once they grow up, this love of beauty will likely gradually evolve into materialism and admiration for the powerful.

You can tell from her clothes.

When others attend classmate reunions, they wear very ordinary clothes, at most a skirt suit to show off their figure.

However, He Ning wore a bodycon skirt, black stockings, and high heels, with an off-the-shoulder design that exposed her collarbone and skin.

Although it's a stereotype, Lin Shen had only ever seen this kind of outfit in bars and nightclubs.

interesting!

Lin Shen smiled knowingly. As he observed the others in the private room, they were also observing him, and asking themselves soul-searching questions.

Who is he?
Zhao Feng was clearly also a little surprised. He felt that Lin Shen looked very familiar, but he just couldn't remember who he was.

However, his handsome appearance made Zhao Feng feel a sense of crisis.

Is this guy trying to steal my thunder at this class reunion?

So Zhao Feng took the initiative, approached Lin Shen, and asked with a smile in a fairly polite tone.

"Hello, classmate, we're having a class reunion. Did you come to the wrong room?"

"I didn't go to the wrong place, did I?"

Lin Shen smiled and identified Zhao Feng.

"Aren't you Zhao Feng? Our class's sports representative."

What the hell!

How did he know?

Zhao Feng was clearly taken aback, because he felt that Lin Shen was not on the same level as his group and thought he was from another room.

It turned out to be his high school classmate?

Are there any guys this handsome in my senior year of high school?

He's even more handsome than me!

Just as Zhao Feng was wondering, He Ning, who was standing to the side, could no longer contain himself.

From the moment Lin Shen entered, her gaze remained fixed on this incredibly handsome man, her beautiful eyes sparkling with astonishing brilliance.

So handsome!
In He Ning's eyes, Lin Shen's handsomeness was no less than that of those online celebrities, and perhaps even more so in terms of enduring appeal.

Because he is very sunny and has no makeup on his face, he is completely bare-faced.

He's way more handsome than those online guys who use makeup to enhance their looks.

This is an offline event!

So He Ning didn't care who the other person was, and swayed her hips as she walked forward, intending to get closer to them.

"Hello, I almost didn't recognize you. May I ask who you are...?"

"The forest is deep."

The forest is deep!?
When Lin Shen introduced himself, He Ning and Zhao Feng were both taken aback.

Is he Lin Shen?

When did you become so handsome?
In their memory, Lin Shen left very few memories. Apart from his amazing science grades that amazed his teachers and his tendency to specialize in certain subjects, they didn't really have much of a memory of him.

Because he is very ordinary.

He is 175cm tall, has an average appearance, a buzz cut like many science students, and wears black-rimmed glasses.

This is a very typical image of a science student; you could even find thousands of students dressed like this across the country.

Therefore, He Ning and Zhao Feng had a very shallow impression of Lin Shen.

Furthermore, he had never attended a class reunion, making his memory even more hazy.

That's why the two of them were so surprised.

"Are you Lin Shen?"

However, He Ning reacted quickly, grabbing Lin Shen's arm with a look of surprise and delight, and said with no hesitation.

"You've changed so much! You're completely different from how you were in high school!"

"Is that so?"

Lin Shen glanced down at He Ning's hand, then smiled politely.

"You're different from when you were in high school; you've become even more beautiful."

"Oh dear, why are you suddenly praising me? How annoying!"

After He Ning said something coquettishly, she patted Lin Shen's chest, and then her eyes lit up again.

Because Lin Shen was only wearing a thin sweater, his well-developed pectoral muscles could be clearly felt during the contact.

This is even without him deliberately puffing out his chest; it's his physique in a very natural state.

Furthermore, He Ning's earlier act of taking advantage by touching Lin Shen's arm further confirmed her suspicions.

That is, Lin Shen is not only handsome, but also has a great physique!

This is simply fate!

He Ning's beautiful eyes curved slightly, almost blurring into a line, her gaze revealing deep affection that seemed capable of stealing one's soul.

She deliberately moved closer to Lin Shen, raised her face, and tried to get close to him with a smile.

"How have you been these past few years? You've been missing for so long, I couldn't get in touch with you no matter what I tried. Why did you suddenly decide to attend the class reunion this year?"

"I happened to be going back to my hometown for the National Day holiday, so I thought I'd check in with everyone to see how they're doing?"

As He Ning's face drew closer, Lin Shen remained unmoved by her allure, his heart utterly calm and composed.

Lin Shen had already experienced these tricks of hers from Zheng Yanfei.

Those seductive tricks of a "green tea bitch" are not something a gold digger from a small town like me could pull off.

In addition, Xiao Lvcha's figure and appearance are many times better than He Ning's, which naturally makes Lin Shen indifferent to her.

However, Zhao Feng, who was standing to the side, was clearly a little jealous after seeing how enthusiastic He Ning was towards Lin Shen.

After all, when he approached He Ning earlier, the other party had only offered him a polite toast.

But when it was Lin Shen's turn, why did he become so proactive?

She even initiated physical contact with him.

Hehe! Zhao Feng felt a little resentful. After glancing at Lin Shen, he decided to take control of the conversation and asked with a smile.

"I remember you were the only one from our school to apply to go to Shanghai after graduating from high school, right? How's it going? Are you still working a regular job?"

"I heard that the economy is sluggish lately and all the big factories are laying off employees. Are you planning to go back to our hometown to look for a job after you come back for the National Day holiday?"

"If you need anything, just let me know. After all, we're old classmates!"

Zhao Feng patted his chest, seemingly offering Lin Shen help with enthusiasm, but in reality, he was using these words to belittle Lin Shen's status in order to elevate his own.

Of course, it's also a chance to show off your generous side to He Ning, which is a unique way for humans to display their charm in front of the opposite sex.

Therefore, Zhao Feng felt that his words were quite airtight, and most people really couldn't understand the other meanings behind them.

But Lin Shen was clearly no ordinary person, and Zhao Feng had really bitten off more than he could chew this time.

"I'm doing quite well in Shanghai and have no plans to come back."

Lin Shen smiled slightly.

"I came back this time mainly to see you all, because we may not be able to see each other again in the future."

Can't see him anymore?

Zhao Feng was taken aback for a moment, then half-jokingly said.

"You're not planning to settle down in Shanghai, are you? Although housing prices have dropped quite a bit recently, a house in Shanghai still costs at least 50,000 to 60,000 yuan per square meter, right?"

"I've already bought it, in full."

Lin Shen not only said that he had bought a house, but also added that he paid for it in full, which completely stunned Zhao Feng, who looked astonished.

Not a buddy!

real or fake?

I've only been out of school for two or three years, how could I possibly buy a house in Shanghai in such a short period of working life?
I do not believe!
Zhao Feng didn't believe it, but He Ning's eyes gleamed with an astonishing light as she leaned closer again to ask curiously.

"Wow, that's amazing! You bought a house in Shanghai in such a short time. How big is it?"

"More than 200 square meters."

Lin Shen's casual remark once again shocked Zhao Feng, who immediately abandoned all pretense of politeness and retorted directly.

"You're just bluffing, kid. A 200-square-meter apartment in Shanghai would cost at least 100,000 yuan per square meter."

"So, you spent over 20 million to buy the house in cash? Dude, that's not how you brag."

"Just take it as me bragging."

Lin Shen didn't bother to refute, and simply smiled casually.

This only made Zhao Feng feel more uncomfortable.

After all, if Lin Shen blushed and argued with him about this matter, he could still find loopholes in his lies from his words.

But he didn't argue at all, which only made Zhao Feng more suspicious of the truth of the matter!

Could this kid have really struck it rich?
Just as Zhao Feng was having doubts, He Ning's heart was already overflowing with ripples of emotion.

Because she felt that what Lin Shen said was very likely true!
When He Ning walked up to Lin Shen, in addition to trying to get closer to him, she also took a good look at his attire.

Although the casual outfit looks ordinary, the logo hidden in a small place is very eye-catching.

LV!

This made He Ning's eyes light up again.

Lin Shen was actually wearing a full Louis Vuitton outfit!?
Could it be fake?
He Ning wasn't sure, so he asked curiously, trying to get the information out of her.

"What kind of job do you do in Shanghai? How can you earn so much money?"

"Just running a small business."

Lin Shen remained humble, but Zhao Feng saw this humility as nothing more than a way of putting him in a bad light.

So he complained, slightly annoyed.

"You say you spent over 20 million to buy a house, but you also say you run a small business. Don't you think that's contradictory?"

"For me, it is indeed a small business, earning only about one million a month."

Lin Shen said with a smile.

"If I rely solely on small businesses to make money, it would probably take me two years to buy a house outright."

Earning a million a month?!
This monthly salary not only stunned Zhao Feng, but even He Ning was somewhat incredulous, covering her mouth in amazement.

"What do you do that makes so much money? Can you teach me how to do it?"

"You can start your own company too."

Lin Shen smiled slightly, too lazy to talk to this group of people anymore, and instead looked around to change the subject.

"Let's sit down and talk."

"that……"

Seeing that Lin Shen didn't give him, the host, any face, Zhao Feng naturally didn't intend to be polite either, and simply smiled.

"I'm sorry, Lin Shen, I didn't expect you to come back, so we might not have enough seats at the round table, and it might be difficult to squeeze in."

!! ?
Upon hearing this, Lin Shen raised an eyebrow and a playful smile appeared on his lips as he made his point clear.

"You mean you want me to leave?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant!"

Zhao Feng quickly waved his hand and scratched his head, explaining with a helpless expression.

"that is……"

"Then please sit here with us!"

He Ning seemed to have seized the opportunity and directly grabbed Lin Shen's arm, leading him to the girls' table.

Immediately, the girls who had been whispering and gossiping fell silent.

Everyone stared at Lin Shen with surprise, many with amazement and curiosity in their eyes.

He Ning then introduced it with a smug look on his face.

"Don't you guys recognize him? It's Lin Shen! Our class's top student! The science god!"

"Oh~!"

After He Ning's introduction, the girls gasped and exclaimed in amazement.

"You're Lin Shen? You've changed so much!"

"Wow, you're so handsome! What have you been through lately? How did you become so handsome?!"

"Thank you."

Lin Shen smiled politely, and Zhao Feng felt deeply regretful when he saw him being praised by the women.

Who knew this guy was so popular with girls!

Does being handsome mean you can do whatever you want?
Hey!
I should have pulled him to the boys' table!

Seeing He Ning's overly attentive manner towards Lin Shen, Zhao Feng felt very awkward, so he got up and went over to invite him.

"Lin Shen, I asked the waiter to add another chair over here. We should be able to squeeze in a bit."

"It's too crowded on your side, it's uncomfortable to sit there."

Before Lin Shen could say anything, He Ning rejected him, then pulled Lin Shen to sit next to her and waved to Zhao Feng.

"You guys go ahead and chat. I'll introduce Lin Shen to the people in our class."

"..."

Seeing He Ning and Lin Shen chatting and laughing, Zhao Feng smiled on the surface, but in reality he was filled with extreme regret.

It was even filled with various emotions such as jealousy and envy, and the right hand that was gripping the blanket tightened a bit.

No!

Is a handsome face really enough to make classmates who haven't seen each other in a long time fawn over him?
This is so unfair! (End of Chapter)
