Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Zhang Zihao was so angry that his lips were trembling. When did anyone dare to speak to him like that?

Su Mingliang actually dared to openly challenge him like this. Does he even take him seriously?

"Hey, sit down and talk properly. What can't classmates say to each other?" Lin Huiyu advised.

However, because of Su Mingliang's words just now, she has a new opinion about Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan!

Perhaps as a woman, she couldn't stand Zhang Zihao's behavior of stepping on others to get ahead.

But as a teacher, she couldn't say anything about this, as it's a common social phenomenon.

"Sit down, everyone, sit down and have some hot soup to sober up!" Jiang Gongjing also gestured to ease the atmosphere.

Ye Chen pulled Su Mingliang to sit down in two empty seats.

Although it was satisfying for Su Mingliang to publicly criticize Zhang Zihao, it was still a party, and it wouldn't be good to make things too tense.

"Hmph—" Su Mingliang snorted coldly and sat down angrily.

Zhang Zihao finally managed to suppress his anger; he was the one who sponsored the party, and he had to control the pace of the entire event.

"Su Mingliang, you seem to have some misunderstanding about me. I know Shuyuan ultimately chose me, and you, as her brother, want to stand up for Ye Chen!"

"But we can't just make up a story to slander Shuyuan because of this, can we?"

"Who would give up a promotion opportunity? Your story is full of holes."

"Besides, if Ye Chen were truly capable, why was he fired from his second company after only a few months?"

"Does everyone think this makes sense?"

As he spoke, Zhang Zihao gave a cold laugh and looked at the crowd.

When everyone heard what Zhang Zihao said, it seemed to make a lot of sense.

Yes, who would give up a promotion opportunity? If Ye Chen really gets promoted, then it should be Chen Shuyuan who resigns voluntarily!

This doesn't make sense here, and everyone seemed to be deep in thought.

Gold shines wherever it is. You can't expect someone to perform well at one company and be on the verge of promotion, only to struggle to adapt when you switch to another.

This proves that the ability is still inadequate.

It seems that what Su Mingliang just said was just to pat Ye Chen on the back!

"That Ye Chen is shameless! By letting Su Mingliang say things like that, he's clearly trying to ruin Shuyuan's reputation!"

"Sigh, isn't that right? People change once they enter the workforce. I never thought someone as seemingly honest as Ye Chen could become so despicable!"

"If you've broken up, you've broken up amicably. Why badmouth the other person? Disgusting, childish behavior!"

"He was fired after only a few months, which shows his work ability is just so-so!"

"I really feel sorry for Shuyuan; she wasted so much of her youth on him during her four years of university!"

"She doesn't even have the ability to support a family. Good riddance! Zihao is the perfect match!"

......

The students whispered amongst themselves, their gazes toward Ye Chen and Su Mingliang filled with complex emotions.

Both teachers remained silent, waiting for Ye Chen's reply.

Su Mingliang grew angrier the more he thought about it, and even tried to get up to say something, but Ye Chen stopped him with a look.

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head: "Zhang Zihao, let me correct you. I resigned from the second company voluntarily!"

Zhang Zi scoffed, "Heh—even at a time like this, you're still thinking about saving face!"

Ye Chen glanced at Zhang Zihao and said calmly, "If you were more low-key, I would think more highly of you."

"Don't think I don't know about your relationship with our supervisor, Zhang Qiang. He's deliberately making things difficult for me, isn't that your doing? You've committed the crime of intentionally making things difficult, you know that?!"

"Tch, I don't know what you're talking about. People shouldn't make too many excuses, and they shouldn't think the worst of everyone. They should look for the reasons within themselves!" Zhang Zihao shook his head dismissively.

Ye Chen smiled slightly and took out his phone to play a video.

The video shows Zhang Qiang and Zhang Zihao having a meal together, chatting and laughing. There is also a girl next to them, who looks like Chen Shuyuan!

"Do you really think I don't know anything about Chen Shuyuan going out to dinner with you? I just don't want to think about it that way!"

"At first, I was wondering if Shuyuan was trying to use you to smooth things over for my direct supervisor, Zhang Qiang!"

"Later I started to wonder if there was a problem with your relationship. Why is Zhang Qiang always making things difficult for me?"

"It wasn't until a few days ago when she broke up with me that I realized you guys really did help me smooth things over, and very effectively at that—but in a reverse way!"

"I worked overtime until 11 or 12 every day to avoid losing my job, and in the end, I got nothing!"

"Why wouldn't I resign from a company like that? Am I supposed to stay there for the New Year?!"

"You guys are really something. You kept it from me for a year, and only broke up with me after I got pregnant. You even let Zhang Qiang cut off my path to survival."

"They're really trying to drive me to the brink of despair!"

"You can't bully honest people like this!"

"I was going to give you all some face, considering we were in love during our four years of university, and not want to bring up these dirty secrets!"

"But your behavior of distorting the truth and constantly trying to put me down has finally made me realize something!"

"Since you don't care about our past relationship, why should I bother thinking so much for you?"

"If you dare to do it, don't be afraid of what others say!"

"Teachers and students, I'm saying this not for any other reason than to let you see the true colors of Zhang Zihao and Chen Shuyuan!"

"To be honest, I am ashamed to associate with a classmate like that. If it weren't for the other classmates and two teachers being present today, I wouldn't have bothered to watch this scoundrel Zhang Zihao showing off."

"Phew—" Ye Chen said, then leaned back in his chair with a relaxed air.

Once everything was said, the pent-up frustration in my chest dissipated!

Zhang Zihao's face darkened because Ye Chen was telling the truth: "Ye Chen, you, you're really something! You can conjure up so much from just one video. You're wasting your talent if you're not a screenwriter!"

Zhang Zihao will definitely not admit that he did these things.

That would ruin his reputation among his teachers and classmates!

Chen Shuyuan's face turned bright red, and she shouted angrily:

"Ye Chen, I was blind before. I never thought you were this kind of person. Just because I chose Zihao, you hold such a grudge?"

"Have you considered your own situation? It's been two years since you graduated. How much savings do you have? Do you own a house and a car?"

"You have nothing, what future can you give me?"

"I already said we should part amicably. You should go back and reflect on your actions, instead of causing a scene here. This will only make me despise you even more!"

"We're classmates, so why can Zihao afford to host a class reunion, while you can barely afford to pay your rent?"

"What good does it do you to slander me and Zihao like this?"

Chen Shuyuan cursed loudly and sounded aggrieved; anyone who didn't know the situation would really think that Ye Chen had splashed dirty water on her.
