Don't underestimate the poor and elderly; I was thrilled to refuse the class beauty's adva

"Why is it so green?"

Zhang Yang was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously raised his hand to touch his hair.

He dyed his hair a striking red today, and just now in the private room, a girl complimented his hair color, so how did it become green in Zhang Yifan's mouth?

Is this person colorblind?

Zhang Yifan coughed lightly and quickly said it was nothing, shifting his gaze away from Zhang Yang's head. However, his hesitant expression only made Zhang Yang more confused.

Hongxing Cement Plant.

Zhang Yifan couldn't find the name of this factory in the list of successful enterprises in the Dragon Kingdom over the next fifty years that the system had given him.

A company with an annual income of one million is indeed considered quite good in a prefecture-level city like Jicheng, but in the context of the entire Dragon Kingdom's business landscape, it doesn't even qualify to be included in the system.

However, Zhang Yifan found information about Hongxing Cement Plant in the corporate history of another company.

That company is called "Qingyuan Building Materials," one of the future leaders in China's building materials industry. Its growth history includes an inconspicuous acquisition.

The target of the acquisition was Hongxing Cement Plant.

What surprised Zhang Yifan even more was that the system's information on all the people in this company included a name he knew all too well: Lin Wanqing.

The system's introduction to Lin Wanqing was not long, but every line of text made Zhang Yifan frown even more deeply.

In that timeline where no system intervened, Lin Wanqing got together with Zhang Yang after abandoning him in her freshman year.

Yes, it was Zhang Yang, the man with red hair, glaring at him angrily.

Zhang Yang used his status as a student at the Central Academy of Drama to introduce her to wealthy people and introduce her to those she had only ever seen on television before.

But Lin Wanqing was not satisfied with this. She soon discovered that Zhang Yang's cement factory was just a small-scale operation, and an annual income of one million yuan was not even close to the threshold of a real wealthy family.

So she turned around and hooked up with a real tycoon, dumping Zhang Yang.

Furthermore, through the connections and resources of that rich second-generation, they orchestrated the bankruptcy of Zhang Yang's family's cement factory.

Finally, she stepped in and acquired Hongxing Cement Plant at an extremely low price.

Zhang Yang himself disappeared completely after the cement factory went bankrupt.

After reading the message, Zhang Yifan looked at Zhang Yang with a hint of sympathy in his eyes.

This guy is still acting all high and mighty, completely unaware that in the near future he will be schemed against by a woman, losing everything and ruining his life.

The woman was standing at the back of the crowd, staring at Zhang Yifan with equally bright eyes.

Zhang Yifan now completely understands that Lin Wanqing is simply a walking destruction program; whoever gets involved with her is doomed.

In another timeline, his life was wasted because of her, but luckily the system intervened and he escaped. Zhang Yang, on the other hand, eagerly tried to get close to her.

He decided that after the class reunion tonight, he absolutely could not have any further contact with Lin Wanqing.

As for Hongxing Cement Plant itself, Zhang Yifan did see some noteworthy details from the information in the system.

In recent years, due to the decline of the real estate industry in Longguo, the operating conditions of Hongxing Cement Plant have also been declining. This year, it barely managed to break even and was just one step away from incurring losses.

Logically speaking, this kind of company has no acquisition value.

However, the location of Hongxing Cement Plant is situated within a key development zone in the future urban planning of Jicheng, and the appreciation potential of that land alone far exceeds the value of the cement plant itself.

This is why Lin Wanqing orchestrated Zhang Yang's bankruptcy and then acquired the factory at an extremely low price.

Zhang Yifan silently calculated in his mind that the price of acquiring Hongxing Cement Plant was still too high and not worthwhile.

Moreover, he was very curious whether Zhang Yang and Lin Wanqing's development would still follow the path the system had described after the system became a variable.

After considering whether or not to intervene and change Zhang Yang's fate, Zhang Yifan decided to remain on the sidelines for the time being.

After all, he wasn't familiar with Zhang Yang, and this guy had just been making sarcastic remarks about him for a long time.

Besides, even if he wanted to remind Zhang Yang to stay away from Lin Wanqing, given how attentive Zhang Yang is to Lin Wanqing right now, she wouldn't listen to his advice, and might even think he was jealous.

A short while later, a brand-new meteorite black Land Rover Defender 110 turned the corner and came to a smooth stop in front of the hotel.

The woman in black stockings turned off the engine, removed the key, walked up to Zhang Yifan, and handed him the car keys and the file folder together with both hands.

This Defender is clearly taller, wider, and more imposing than the one next to it.

The entire car features a blacked-out body kit, 22-inch forged wheels, and carbon fiber trim that gleams coldly under the streetlights. Even the lettering on the spare tire cover is matte black.

The young woman in black stockings opened the file folder and checked each item with Zhang Yifan: the car purchase contract, insurance policy, temporary license plate, vehicle conformity certificate...

All the documents were neatly arranged.

Some people, unwilling to give up, came over to take a look at the final price on the contract, and then gasped in shock.

It clearly says on it: 2857300.00.

Zhang Yang couldn't believe his eyes and blurted out, "Impossible! How could you possibly afford this car! You're just an ordinary working-class family, where would you get the money!"

The classmates who had been mocking Zhang Yifan just moments before all fell silent.

Someone remembered that Zhang Yifan had won a scratch-off lottery ticket before, but as soon as they mentioned it, someone next to them refuted it: "That scratch-off ticket only won 300,000! This car cost over 2.8 million, even adding that 300,000 wouldn't be enough!"

Suddenly, discussions about Zhang Yifan's family background reignited among the crowd.

"How come I've never heard of Zhang Yifan's family being so rich before?"

"Did he win the lottery again?"

"What kind of big prize did he win! He might have done something illegal or disorderly."

But no matter what they discussed, there was a more complex layer in their eyes when they looked at Zhang Yifan.

The glory of being the top scorer in the province is one thing, but in the eyes of these people, good grades are nothing more than being good at studying, and at most, one can get a job as a senior employee in a big factory after graduation.

But driving a Land Rover Defender is different; it's a sign that they've already lost at the starting line before they even enter society.

Especially considering the price of this car, which is a level higher than the previous one, this can't be explained by rewards and bonuses alone. There must be something behind it that they don't know.

Lin Wanqing stood at the back of the crowd, her eyes shining even brighter than before.

Her parents divorced right after the college entrance exam results were released.

The two have been passing the buck over her custody, neither wanting to take on this burden who didn't even pass the undergraduate entrance exam.

In addition, she completely failed her college entrance exam, which has led to some psychological distortion in her now.

She increasingly felt that all feelings in this world were fake, and only money was real.

Zhang Yifan was standing next to the Land Rover Defender, holding the new car keys in his hand.

She suddenly realized that Zhang Yifan might be the key to changing her fate.

He had pursued her for a year and listened to her every word. She couldn't believe that he really didn't like her anymore.

When she thinks back to Zhang Yifan, she remembers how he confessed his feelings to her during a dare in class that year. On the surface, she felt embarrassed, but inside she was secretly thrilled.

But she felt that agreeing to his request would be too easy on him, so she decided to keep him hanging for now.

But she didn't expect that Zhang Yifan would really stop pursuing her and never come back to her side.

Fortunately, she still has a chance.

She told herself that she couldn't be foolish again this time; she had to hold on to him tightly.

Just then, a familiar voice came from outside the crowd: "What are you all doing here?"
