Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen chuckled and patted Su Mingliang on the shoulder: "Hehe, why not eat when someone's paying? Let's go!"

He knew that Xiaoming was afraid that he would be dissed by Zhang Zihao later!

However, he has figured it out in the last couple of days.

We have to face whatever comes our way.

Su Mingliang opened his mouth as if to say something more, but ultimately sighed and asked, "What are your plans next?"

"How about we come to Shanghai? I happen to have a project on hand. Let's do it together, brother. Getting rich overnight might be unrealistic, but it's definitely better than working for someone else. At least we can achieve financial freedom!"

Hearing Su Mingliang's words warmed Ye Chen's heart.

When you're in trouble, there aren't many people who will take the initiative to help you.

"Good brother, but I'm not at my wit's end yet. I'll come to you for a free meal when I really can't make ends meet!" Ye Chen said with a smile.

His smile was genuine!

Su Mingliang curled his lip: "Don't be so polite with me. Anyway, if you don't come, someone else will benefit. It's a fool not to make money!"

"Do you think I'd stand on ceremony with you? I've been working on a project lately, I'm not starving, I've even got an A6!" Ye Chen said, secretly showing Xiao Ming his car keys.

Su Mingliang looked at him suspiciously: "Are you sure this isn't a lighter?"

"Does this look like a lighter? It makes a 'squeak' sound when you press it!" Ye Chen pressed it twice to show Xiao Ming.

Su Mingliang snatched Ye Chen's car keys and examined them for a while: "Holy crap, they really are car keys!"

As he spoke, he tried to pry off the rings, but found that he couldn't, and only then did he reluctantly believe Ye Chen's words.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but if you're driving an A6, at least dress more appropriately. Dressed like that, you're scaring away a lot of competitors!"

"Hey, I haven't learned how to dress yet, can you recommend a few outfits for me later!" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"Let me tell you, you need to take this seriously, or you'll end up taking a lot of detours without even realizing it!" Su Mingliang said earnestly.

Ye Chen nodded in deep agreement. He had noticed this in the past two days as well. He had come here right after buying the house, but hadn't even gone out to pick out a proper outfit yet.

Just then, Lin Rongrong's voice came: "Hey? Ye Chen, Mingliang, why aren't you upstairs yet? They're already here, in the Peony Hall private room on the 8th floor!"

Ye Chen and Su Mingliang turned around and saw a businessman in a sharp suit and a girl next door in a floral dress.

It was none other than Lin Rongrong and her boyfriend Zhou Zhendong!

Ye Chen simply smiled and nodded as a greeting.

Su Mingliang looked Lin Rongrong up and down, exclaiming somewhat exaggeratedly, "Wow, class monitor, when did you become so feminine?!"

Lin Rongrong was speechless: "Get lost!"

Zhou Zhendong didn't interrupt, but he tightened his grip on Lin Rongrong's hand.

His girlfriend was being teased like that, and although the other person didn't seem to mean any harm, he was still a little annoyed.

"Oh? And who is this?" Su Mingliang looked at Zhou Zhendong standing to the side.

The only person Lin Rongrong would drag along is her boyfriend, right? Did she bring her younger brother too?

"I'm Rongrong's boyfriend, and the manager of Zhengtai Department Store!" Zhou Zhendong introduced himself.

Su Mingliang nodded slightly and looked at Lin Rongrong teasingly: "Oh, our class monitor is taken now, tsk tsk, congratulations!"

"Stop it!" Lin Rongrong rolled her eyes. "Let's go upstairs. Don't just stand here. Most people should be here by now."

The four of them went upstairs and entered the Peony Hall private room.

As soon as they entered, dozens of people turned their gazes in their direction!

"Holy crap, so many people, did we go to the wrong place?!" Su Mingliang exclaimed.

"You shameless bastard, it seems like they're notifying people to bring their families, there are bound to be a lot of people!" Ye Chen kicked him in annoyance.

Ye Chen and Su Mingliang walked behind Lin Rongrong, whispering to each other.

The private room is quite large, or rather, the main hall would be a more appropriate description.

There were eight tables inside, so it was quite a large gathering!

Ye Chen glanced at them briefly and found that he didn't recognize almost half of the people. These people must be the family members that everyone brought along.

Just then, a boy in the crowd shouted, "Class monitor, you're late! You'll have to punish yourself with a drink later!"

"Class monitor, come over and sit at this table!" a girl called out.

"Class monitor, you should introduce your boyfriend!" someone shouted.

"Hello everyone, it's been a long time!" Lin Rongrong greeted everyone with a smile and introduced herself generously:

"This is my boyfriend, Zhou Zhendong, who is also two years ahead of me at our school!"

Zhou Zhendong gave a gentlemanly smile and waved to the younger students as a greeting.

Lin Rongrong pulled Zhou Zhendong to a table with more girls and they sat down.

Ye Chen had already pulled Su Mingliang to find two empty seats at a table near the door, keeping a low profile throughout.

While everyone was still making a fuss around the class monitor, they had already taken their seats.

After taking their seats, the two chatted with the others.

That's how relationships are between college classmates. You wouldn't say you're very close, but you're still classmates too.

Each person only gets along with one small circle of friends.

So the conversations at the gatherings were mostly just polite formalities!

Especially since this was a reunion after two years of not seeing each other, during which everyone had been through the trials of society.

If we meet again, it will definitely be difficult to be as casual as before; there will be an invisible barrier between us.

The differences between people have also become apparent in the past two years.

Some people have bought cars and houses and their lives are on track, while others are stuck in the same place and confused about the future.

Some people earn tens of thousands a month, some earn several thousand, and some still earn only two or three thousand.

Some of the wealthy second-generation classmates from school even have a natural barrier to their presence.

Perhaps they haven't changed, but when classmates see them again, they will be more respectful and keep a certain distance.

This is how people internally categorize themselves into different classes.

It was only at this point that many people realized that their four years of university were the time when they were closest to these rich kids.

A moment later, the door to the private room was pushed open again, and a man and a woman walked in, the woman holding the man's arm.

The people who arrived were Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan, the big spenders of this gathering.

Everyone was quite surprised to see Chen Shuyuan holding Zhang Zihao's hand.

Aren't Chen Shuyuan and Ye Chen a couple? It seems a lot has happened in the past two years.

Everyone's curiosity was instantly piqued.

Many people's eyes also fell on Ye Chen; it was quite easy to find someone from only seven or eight tables.

Ye Chen ate the pre-meal fruit as if nothing had happened.

Zhang Zihao smiled and waved to everyone. He also saw Ye Chen next to him, and a smile appeared on his lips as he put his arm around Chen Shuyuan.

"Ye Chen, I heard you lost your job and can't even afford the rent? Need me to lend you 500 yuan? Hahaha!"

After saying that, Zhang Zihao laughed!
