"Have you all heard? Wei Liangjun has really made it big now."
"Isn't it true? I heard he made the best investment in a project worth millions."
"And not just that, the company he founded has now grown to a scale of tens of millions."
"That's really impressive!"
Ye Qiu had just taken his seat when he heard his classmates buzzing about.
This Wei Liangjun, Ye Qiu remembered him too. Back then, he was the vice class leader, quite capable, but Ye Qiu didn't really get along with him because he thought Wei Liangjun was a hypocrite.
"Oh, not really, the competition in entrepreneurship is fierce now. To get this far, it's all about luck."
Listening to the surrounding chatter, Wei Liangjun quickly waved his hand, but the smug smile on his face had already betrayed his pretentiousness.
"Oh, come on, Young Master Wei, don't be modest. The greater the competition in entrepreneurship, the more it shows your capability."
"That's right, Young Master Wei is the most successful one in our class, really enviable."
"Young Master Wei, you should help us, your old classmates!"
Many looked at Wei Liangjun with envy, and unconsciously, the way they addressed him had changed.
"That's a given. To tell you the truth, I'm planning a few projects, and I'm short of partners."
Upon hearing this, many people's eyes lit up, and they proceeded to shower Wei Liangjun with flattery.
Wei Liangjun was quite pleased with the flattery, his face glowing, engaging in high-spirited conversations with a group, looking every bit the part of a "successful person."
Ye Qiu inwardly despised this bunch, so he couldn't be bothered to mingle with them, sipping a glass of red wine alone in a corner, enjoying himself.
However, even though Ye Qiu wanted nothing to do with them, they weren't about to let him be.
"Back in the day, the two most famous guys in our class were Young Master Wei and someone else. Now Young Master Wei has made it big, as for the other one..."
The classmate didn't finish, but his gaze swept repeatedly over Ye Qiu sitting in the corner.
The other classmates knew who he meant, so they also showed Ye Qiu contemptuous looks.
At this moment, Wei Liangjun was also reminded of the past!
He and Ye Qiu were both model students back then, constantly compared, whether openly or in secret. Although he was the vice class leader, Ye Qiu still surpassed him in many ways, which annoyed him greatly.
But ever since middle school graduation, it's like Ye Qiu vanished without a trace.
Now, seeing Ye Qiu again, so down and out, gave Wei Liangjun a sense of triumph.
With a flicker of thought, he walked towards Ye Qiu with an air of gentlemanliness.
"Ye Qiu!"
Wei Liangjun called out to Ye Qiu, using a condescending tone to look at him.
Ye Qiu had never liked Wei Liangjun, and now he certainly wouldn't show any warmth. He slightly frowned but didn't say a word.
Seeing Ye Qiu's reaction, Wei Liangjun felt even more smug, his smile widening, and said:
"Ye Qiu, considering we're old classmates, how about working at my company? We're just short of a security guard, three thousand a month including food and lodging."
Ye Qiu looked at Wei Liangjun as if he were an idiot, not wanting to speak a word to him.
Although his current job wasn't much different from a security guard in nature, there's no comparison between the two.
Not only because Bai Group paid a higher salary, but more importantly, being the private driver for a super beauty like Bai Lan was every man's dream. Ye Qiu definitely wouldn't give up this job.
So, Ye Qiu didn't even bother to glance at Wei Liangjun and left with his wine glass.
Seeing Ye Qiu's reaction, a shadow crossed Wei Liangjun's face as he said coldly:
"Ye Qiu, don't be ungrateful. I kindly offer you a job, yet you treat me with such an attitude!"
Ignore!
Ye Qiu continued to ignore him!
Doesn't Ye Qiu know what kind of person Wei Liangjun is? He keeps saying he wants to help, but is it really true? He's probably just showing off in front of him!
Yet, almost everyone present took Wei Liangjun's side.
"No wonder Ye Qiu ended up like this, he has no one else to blame!"
"Exactly, he still thinks he's the same Ye Qiu from before, so arrogant, deserved it!"
"Yeah! Young Master Wei, let's not bother with him, it's beneath us to argue with him!"
Listening to the endless flattery around him, Wei Liangjun's expression finally eased.
In the crowd, Song Sisi saw this but only shook her head, saying nothing.
In middle school, she had a bit of a crush on Ye Qiu, but seeing him like this, a flash of disappointment crossed her eyes.
"Indeed, spending time with someone so ignorant will lower my standing." After saying this, Wei Liangjun no longer spared Ye Qiu a glance.
"By the way, Young Master Wei, I heard that recently you attended our city's business networking event, is that true?"
At this moment, someone else asked.
"Of course!"
Talking about this, Wei Liangjun's expression changed, a sense of pride welling up.
Attending this business event meant mingling with Jiangnan City's elite. Of course, with Wei Liangjun's status, attending such an event was not enough, but he was lucky enough to pull some strings and make a brief appearance.
This gave him the grounds to boast.
"I also heard that the goddess of our Jiangnan City, Bai Lan, attended that event too!"
As soon as Bai Lan's name was mentioned, many people's faces flushed, their breathing quickened.
And when Wei Liangjun heard Bai Lan's name, he became extremely excited and said:
"Of course! Although I didn't get the chance to talk to the goddess, being able to see her from afar was immensely satisfying. To tell you the truth, goddess Bai Lan is even more beautiful in real life than in photos!"
"Really? Goddess Bai Lan has always been my one and only in my heart, I wish I could see her just once!"
"Yeah, that's my dream too!"
"Come on, a character like the goddess, we can't possibly reach her, we can only dream."
As they talked about Bai Lan, everyone's face showed admiration.
