Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

"Hehe, isn't this a modern version of Pan Jinlian and Ximen Qing?" Su Mingliang smiled knowingly.

The group looked at each other in bewilderment. This melon was definitely ripe. Wasn't this more exciting than watching a palace drama?

However, both sides have their own version of events, so who is right?

Uh... whatever, whoever treats us to dinner is right!

After all, you're obligated to someone who feeds you!

Moreover, compared to Ye Chen, an unemployed man, Zhang Zihao is clearly more worthy of being curried over!

One is a corporate slave, the other is a rich kid, so it seems like there's not much to consider regarding their stances.

"Ye Chen, is this all the petty man you are? Look how wronged Shuyuan is, she's almost crying. They're classmates, apologize to her!"

Immediately, someone in the crowd spoke up for Chen Shuyuan!

"Exactly, Ye Chen, you've made up so many things without any evidence. It's obvious you're holding a grudge after the breakup. You're really shameless!"

"Tch, scum!"

"Sigh, some people, when they lack ability, always try to find excuses for themselves!"

"No wonder Zihao is targeting you. You should think more about your own problems!"

There was some chatter in the crowd, but no one stepped forward.

Ye Chen looked around, and those who had been talking all shut their mouths again.

Clearly, these people were just making empty promises and didn't want Ye Chen to know who said it, trying to avoid offending either side.

Ye Chen sneered inwardly. How fickle human relationships can be!

This moment is so blatant!

Does he really think he can't recognize the voice? We've been classmates for four years in college, after all.

Fortunately, only a small number of people spoke up; most chose to remain silent and watch the show, which prevented him from becoming completely disappointed in his classmates.

Ye Chen has said everything he needed to say, and he's too lazy to offer any further explanation.

Talking too much is bad for your liver!

"Don't you guys want to listen to what you're saying?" Su Mingliang slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"Don't you understand that you have no right to speak if you don't know the truth? Do you know what it means to be afraid of what others say?" Su Mingliang glared at these people who liked to talk big.

Ye Chen pulled Su Mingliang down to sit and chuckled softly:

"Alright, Chen Shuyuan, stop playing the victim. Is it really meaningful to say one thing to me and another to your classmates? Time will tell, and we'll leave the truth to history!"

After speaking, Ye Chen smiled slightly at the two teachers: "I'm sorry you two had to see this today. I originally wanted to have a quiet meal and pretend nothing happened, but there are always petty people who want to cause trouble, and even honest people get angry! Anyway, I've almost finished eating, so I'll take my leave now. I'll apologize to you both separately another day!"

As he spoke, Ye Chen stood up and toasted the two teachers.

"Sigh! I think that's about enough for today. Why don't we all go outside for some fresh air and reschedule for another day?" Jiang Gongjing sighed deeply, stood up, and looked around.

Lin Huiyu forced a smile and nodded, "Hehe, yes, everyone's had a bit too much to drink. I think we should call it a day!"

Zhang Zihao hurriedly stood up and said, "Teachers and students, I've arranged for the second half to be held at the Star Diamond Club next door. Let's all move over there!"

"Hehe, no, you young people go ahead, you won't have much fun with us around!" Jiang Gongjing waved his hand.

"I have to go back and tutor my child, so I won't go!" Lin Huiyu shook her head with a smile.

The group left the banquet hall and arrived at the hotel lobby.

Just as Ye Chen was about to say goodbye to his two teachers, a middle-aged figure hurriedly walked towards him.

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Guo Jianbin, why was this guy in the lobby instead of in the general manager's office?

Upon seeing Guo Jianbin, Zhang Zihao smiled and extended his hand to shake hands, saying, "Hehe, Mr. Guo, what brings you to wait for me in the lobby!"

Guo Jianbin glanced at Zhang Zihao and frowned slightly. This guy was really strange. He didn't know him, so why was he waiting for him?

Guo Jianbin ignored Zhang Zihao, smiled, and walked up to Ye Chen, firmly grasping Ye Chen's hands in both of them:

"Oh, Mr. Ye, it's great to see you again! You said you were coming to the Plum Garden Hotel but didn't tell me. If I hadn't seen your white A6, I wouldn't have known you were here!"

Ye Chen smiled faintly: "Why would I talk to you when I'm here for a class reunion?"

"Class reunion, which hall are you in? This meal is on me!" Guo Jianbin was incredibly enthusiastic; he genuinely wanted to make friends with Ye Chen, this interesting young man.

Ye Chen waved his hand: "No need, maybe next time. It's not like I'm treating; a sugar daddy is footing the bill!"

Seeing Ye Chen's serious expression, Guo Jianbin gave up.

Everyone was a little dazed at what they saw. What was going on?

This person looks like a hotel manager, right?

Why is he so respectful to Ye Chen, this good-for-nothing?

And they kept calling him "President Ye" so affectionately?

What the heck is this white A6? Is it the white A6 from BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Audi that they're imagining?

Is this guy a shill hired by Ye Chen to show off?!

But just now, Zhang Zihao seemed to be about to go up and shake hands with someone, and even addressed the other person as "General Manager Guo"!

This is clearly not a shill!

Why are they having trouble understanding the plot? Did they miss an episode?

Jiang Gongjing and Lin Huiyu exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

Those with more experience recognized him as the general manager of Meiyuan Hotel, who apparently had also given some kind of presentation at Binhai University.

Why would the general manager of Meiyuan International Hotel be so respectful to Ye Chen?

Zhang Zihao's hand froze in mid-air, somewhat embarrassed. He turned to look at President Guo: "President Guo, isn't this a bit disrespectful?"

Guo Jianbin glanced at Zhang Zihao and frowned: "You, who are you? I don't remember you!"

Zhang Zihao said with a hint of resentment, "My father, Zhang Yuanshan, is a business partner of Meiyuan International Hotel!"

Guo Jianbin recalled for a moment before laughing and saying, "Oh! Mr. Zhang Yuanshan from Yujia Seafood, I know him, I know him! Hehe, hello!"

Guo Jianbin then shook hands briefly with Zhang Zihao.

Zhang Zihao slightly raised his chin, a sense of pride enveloping his entire body at that moment!

As all the students have seen, even the general manager of an international chain hotel like Meiyuan International Hotel has to give him some face.

Guo Jianbin turned to Ye Chen again, took out a gold card from his pocket, and handed it to Ye Chen: "Hehe, Mr. Ye, please keep this Plum Garden gold card. It's a small token of my appreciation!"

Ye Chen glanced at the gold card. Although he didn't know what it was for, it looked quite nice with its glittering gold, so he nodded and put it away.

"Holy crap, a Plum Garden Gold Card?! Holy crap, is this for real?!" someone in the crowd exclaimed.

"What's this Plum Garden Gold Card? It seems pretty impressive?" someone asked, puzzled.

"Didn't you know? The Plum Garden Gold Card is a supreme VIP card issued by the Plum Garden International Hotel. The entire card is made of gold, it's valid worldwide, and it's said that no more than 5000 have been issued in China!"
