After the fake young master left home, he discovered that it wasn't raining at all outside.

As expected, Zhu Yan arrived at school at 8:30 as quickly as possible. However, since Zhu Yan had always been among the top ten in the school and there was no precedent for this, the teacher did not make things difficult for him, but simply told him to be more careful next time.

But soon, Zhu Yan noticed the strange looks in the classroom, and Wen Chen's smug mockery. Zhu Yan understood; news of his departure from the Wen family had already spread throughout the capital.

"Brother Rang, Brother Rang, don't pay any attention to that green tea bitch. It's better to leave the Wen family. I believe they'll regret their decision sooner or later." Zhu Yan's best friend, Lu Ze, immediately sidled up to him after he sat down.

Zhu Yan was unconcerned, saying, "They're not enough to make me lose control of my emotions."

"That's good. The Wen family's biggest loss is losing you."

"Hey, why is the fake young master late? Did you not get a luxury car to pick you up?" Just as Zhu Yan and Lu Ze were chatting, several unpleasant voices came from the side.

"You don't know this, but the fake young master is living in a slum now. He can't even get a taxi, so he can only rely on his poor legs!" The speaker was Li Dong, the young master of the Li family who had once shamelessly asked to be a banquet attendant.

"I don't know how thick-skinned they are. They've been dominating Young Master Shen's life for so many years, and they still have the nerve to show up."

"..."

The banquet was met with a barrage of sarcastic remarks. Ironically, these were the same people who used to address him as "Young Master Wen" and who were once his brothers. Now, they had fallen on hard times and were completely unrecognizable.

"!!! Brother, don't stop me! Today I'm going to beat these hypocrites so badly that even their own fathers wouldn't recognize them!" Lu Ze was furious, rolled up his sleeves, and prepared to fight.

"Lu Ze, what are you trying to do! Sit back down!" The homeroom teacher shouted angrily when he saw Lu Ze's fist about to hit someone's face.

Lu Ze suddenly stopped moving, startling Li Dong and the others.

"Damn, why didn't you stop me? I almost got taken to the teacher's office for a chat."

"You told me not to stop you." Zhu Yan took out a book from his bag. "Besides, seeing your back as you stood up for me, I was quite touched." Zhu Yan smiled.

"What are you still afraid of Lu Ze for? Without the Wen family, the Lu family is just a small upper class." He was scared out of his wits just now, but now he's putting on an arrogant attitude.

"That's right. We'll talk to Young Master Shen about it and have him teach the Lu family a lesson."

Zhu Yan seemed to be deep in thought when he heard these words.

"You..." Zhu Yan was interrupted by Lu Ze before she could finish speaking.

"Brother Rang, there's no need for further words." Lu Ze adopted a righteous and understanding demeanor. "How can I bow and scrape before the powerful and wealthy, making me unhappy! I believe my dear father will support me."

Seeing Lu Ze's righteous and awe-inspiring appearance, Zhu Yan chuckled, "I've installed it for you again."

"By the way, how are your biological parents treating you? Are they alright?" Lu Ze knew about Zhu Yan's family situation, but he had never seen it with his own eyes.

"It's alright, it just seems a bit too passionate. I'll take you to meet him later." Zhu Yan suddenly remembered something, "Also, I changed my name, call me Zhu Yan from now on."

"A banquet? That's way more domineering than Wen Rang! Brother Rang, oh no, Brother Yan, I believe you can rise from the ashes and break through the encirclement! There's a big order coming up, want to take it?" Lu Ze's eyes lit up as he said this.

"Take it, what kind of order?" Zhu Yan urgently needs funds; he needs some money as start-up capital.

"Do you know about Qianyi Group? It controls the global economic lifeline. Tonight they're holding a cybersecurity competition and they sent us an invitation. Many powerful figures will be there, and most importantly, the mysterious chairman of Qianyi Group will be attending!"

Zhu Yan didn't care about any of that; he only cared about money.

"bonus?"

"Five hundred million."

Lu Ze, as expected of Zhu Yan's brother, had his eyes light up when money was mentioned.

"Brother Yan, as long as you step in, those five hundred million will be a piece of cake!"

Zhu Yan smiled but didn't say anything.
