Xiang Yang's words hit home with her current situation. Her foreign trade company is actually not that big. If she hadn't gotten in through connections, she wouldn't have been able to become the general manager. Recently, it was because of her poor decision-making that the company had to pay tens of millions in compensation. She wanted to get a bank loan for the price, but because the company still owed the bank money, the bank refused to approve it. Her boss was worried that there would be no place for the money. If there was no money in the short term, the company would really It's going to go bankrupt.
Lin Qingfang participated in a large part of this party. She just wanted to see if any of these old classmates had connections who could help her get a loan from the bank. It was said that Lawyer Zhong was doing well in Tianhai, both black and white. They all take it all, so she tried to suppress Xiang Yang and prepared to give Lawyer Zhong a break. She wanted to make Lawyer Zhong happy first, and then talk about asking him for help. Her idea was good, but unfortunately, he didn't What she thought was that when she met Xiang Yang, her plan was destined to fail.
"I don't believe you are the general manager of a foreign trade company. The general manager of a foreign trade company cannot be so short-sighted." Xiang Yang said lightly.
"You say I'm short-sighted? You bastard!" Lin Qingfang glared at Xiang Yang angrily, and almost couldn't help but fight against Xiang Yang.
"Mr. Xiang, what you said is a bit exaggerated. We are all classmates, why are we making such a fuss?" Zhang Lin, the squad leader, frowned and looked at Xiang Yang dissatisfied. Others also looked unhappy.
"What I said is well-founded." Xiang Yang said.
"Oh, we want to hear what evidence you have." Squad leader Zhang Lin said.
Xiang Yang picked up a bottle of wine in front of him and said lightly, "The rising star of Australia, this one is a low-level wine. The price in foreign countries is about 150 euros. Even in China, it is only It’s worth one or two thousand. In foreign countries, this is the most rubbish wine, but she thinks it’s the best. Haha, this is bullying me, I’m just an ordinary high school teacher.”
"Just make it up and see who will believe you." Lin Qingfang said with a sneer.
Xiang Yang smiled faintly and looked at Lawyer Zhong and others, "You don't understand, but they do. Am I right?"
"Yes, he is right." Lawyer Zhong said in a deep voice, looking at Xiang Yang with a strange look. The brand of wine of 'Tomorrow Star' is not very famous in China. Few people know it, but the taste is good. But it was pretty good, because it was imported and the price was right. They chose this wine for this party. They originally thought it was pretty good, but Xiang Yang criticized it for being useless.
"So what, after all, it's thousands of bottles of wine. I'm afraid you can't buy a few bottles with your monthly salary." Lin Qingfang said with a sneer.
As soon as she said this, everyone looked unhappy. Although what she said was true, today was a class reunion, and it was not about competing for financial resources. After she made such a fuss, the entire class reunion It has lost its original meaning.
The people present had dissatisfaction in their eyes, but they did not criticize Lin Qingfang out loud. After all, in their eyes, Lin Qingfang was one of their own, while Xiang Yang was just Lu Xinran's boyfriend and an outsider. They had no reason to help at this time. An outsider comes to deal with his own people.
"Sorry to bother you, this is the last dish, please use it slowly."
At this time, a waiter came in with a plate of food, which relieved the awkward atmosphere.
"Hey, we didn't order this dish. Did it come to us wrong?" Zhang Lin, the squad leader in charge of ordering, stopped the waiter.
"That's right, this dish was specially brought here by our manager when he saw Lawyer Zhong here." The waiter smiled.
"Wow, Lao Zhong, Lao Zhong, you are really awesome. Even the manager of the Imperial Palace will give you a dish when he sees you."
"I finally saw what a barrister is capable of."
“…”
A group of people were flattering Lawyer Zhong. Although the latter had a modest smile on his face, there was a sense of pride that could not be concealed in the corners of his eyes.
"Xinran, look at lawyer Zhong. He is not only good-looking, but also has a successful career. This is the most ideal boyfriend." Lin Qingfang said to Lu Xinran.
"In this case, since you're not married anyway, you can still pursue him." Lu Xinran smiled coldly and finally couldn't help but start to fight back.
"I know what I look like. I am not worthy of him. Only you, the beauty of the University of China, can be worthy of Lawyer Zhong. Likewise, only Lawyer Zhong can be worthy of you. Be careful when looking for a man. You can't just be fooled by a man's sweet words." As Lin Qingfang said this, she glanced at Xiang Yang with deep disdain in her eyes.
Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, "Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights." This sentence is so accurate. He just accompanied Lu Xiaoniu to a class reunion, and he had to suffer the abuse of others for no reason. Attack, he was shot even while lying down.
"Oh, let me tell you clearly. As a classmate, I feel worthless for you. You are a dignified principal, but you fall in love with a teacher under you. What future does a poor teacher have? It's better to just dump him... "
"That's enough..." Seeing that Lin Qingfang was getting more and more outrageous, Lu Xinran shouted coldly, "I came to the party today not to let you attack my male partner for no reason. Don't think that I don't know what you mean. , If you are still making trouble unreasonably, don’t blame me for not thinking about my classmates.”
"You...you actually want to fall out with me, an old classmate, because of a poor teacher?" Lin Qingfang had a look of disbelief on her face.
"It's hard to say that we are falling out. We have no friendship at all." Lu Xinran was holding back a lot of anger in her heart. From the moment she appeared until now, she was the one who invited Xiang Yang to come over, but she didn't expect that Xiang Yang would be attacked for no reason. This made She felt very sorry.
"Okay, okay, stop arguing. We are all classmates. Don't get hurt over trivial things. Come on, let's have a drink."
Seeing that the two women seemed to be quarreling, squad leader Zhang Lin quickly stepped forward to be the peacemaker.
"Yes, yes, let's all have a drink."
Seeing this, the others also picked up their wine glasses, killing the war that was about to begin.
… … … … … … … … … … …
Just after everyone in the box was having an unpleasant meal, a middle-aged man walked in from the gate of the imperial palace. His clothes were not very expensive, just an ordinary suit, but he exuded the air of a superior. The aura is obviously that of a person who has been in a high position for a long time.
"Hi boss."
When the welcoming girl saw the middle-aged man, she quickly bowed and saluted respectfully.
"Hello, everyone, thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man had an approachable smile on his face. Although he was just a few waiters, he still greeted them softly.
"It's not hard, thank you boss for your concern." Several reception staff replied quickly.
"Haha, work hard and I'll give you a raise next time." The middle-aged man encouraged them and walked inside.
"Boss." As soon as he walked inside, the manager of the Imperial Palace quickly greeted him.
"It's nothing, I just came to take a look." The middle-aged man asked with a smile, "By the way, have there been any special guests recently?"
"Speaking of special guests, in addition to the regular customers who usually come and go, there is one today. He is the famous Lawyer Zhong in Tianhai City." As the manager spoke, he glanced at the middle-aged man quietly. In fact, he regarded Zhong as a lawyer. The lawyer said it out of selfish motives. He and Lawyer Zhong were good friends, and he wanted to take this opportunity to lead the way so that Lawyer Zhong could get to know his boss, which would definitely be helpful to Lawyer Zhong in the future.
"Lawyer Zhong is the Zhong Zhengming who has just emerged in the past two years. He can be regarded as a talent. If things go well, he will have some achievements in the future. Now that he is here, let's go and have a look." the man said.
"Yes, they are in box 301. Please come in, boss." The manager hurriedly led the way.
… … … … … … … …
In the private room, the scene was a little deserted, because Lin Qingfang and Lu Xinran had been very unhappy before. Although they had turned off the fire and ceased fighting after everyone's persuasion, this kind of thing happened at the class reunion, making the whole scene very embarrassing. Everyone just Eating and drinking quietly.
"Dong dong!" At this time, there was a knock on the door.
"Please come in." The person who spoke was Zhang Lin, the monitor who was the host this time.
"Hello everyone, my surname is Zhu. I am the manager of a small store and an old friend of Lawyer Zhong. I am disturbing you this time because my boss heard that Lawyer Zhong is here and came here to get to know him." said the manager of Emperor Palace. At the same time, he looked at the boss next to him with respectful eyes.
"The boss of the Imperial Palace is here, my God, Lao Zhong's name is so useful." Everyone present looked shocked. The Imperial Palace is the only seven-star hotel in Tianhai, and the boss of the Imperial Palace has always been... It is very mysterious, and it is said that he has great power. It is really amazing that Lawyer Zhong can get the boss of the Imperial Palace to meet him in person.
"Hello, hello." Upon hearing that the other party was the boss of the Imperial Palace, even Lawyer Zhong showed a look of shock on his face and stood up quickly.
"Hello, I'm Xiang Feng. I've heard of Lawyer Zhong for a long time. I'm destined to meet you today. I really live up to my name. I am indeed a famous barrister in Tianhai, haha." The boss of the Imperial Palace said with a smile.
"You are so kind. How can my small achievements compare with yours?" Lawyer Zhong knows the mystery of the Imperial Palace. The boss of the Imperial Palace has mysterious power. Even if he is a famous barrister in Tianhai, he knows You are nothing in front of the other party.
"These guys must all be your friends. Ha, I have no other intention of coming here. I just want to get to know you. Everyone eats and drinks well. All the consumption today will be charged to me." Xiang Feng laughed. said.
"How can you be so embarrassed?" Not everyone can do it to get the boss of the Imperial Palace to come forward in person to avoid spending money at the Imperial Palace. Although Lawyer Zhong has met many big shots, he can't help but look happy. .
"Ha, then I won't disturb you anymore."
The boss of the Imperial Palace smiled and was about to turn around. However, just as he turned his head, the man in front of him turned his back to others and yawned, revealing half of his face. The boss of the Imperial Palace, Xiang Feng, shook his head just as he was about to turn around. He paused for a moment, with an incredulous look on his face.
"Boss Xiang?" Lawyer Zhong looked at him puzzled.
The boss of the Imperial Palace ignored Lawyer Zhong and walked forward cautiously. When he saw the face clearly, his whole body trembled and he was stunned at this moment.
"Why, you don't recognize me anymore?" Xiang Yang looked at the middle-aged man who was stunned by fear or excitement with a faint smile on his face.
Just when everyone was wondering why the boss of the Imperial Palace suddenly behaved like this, they saw the boss of the Imperial Palace trembling all over and kneeling down to Xiang Yang with an excited look on his face, "Young Master..."
Just as Xiang Feng, the boss of the Imperial Palace, finished speaking, Xiang Yang supported him and said with a smile on his face, "What's missing? Oh, your feet haven't healed yet. You're going to fall down every now and then." ”
While speaking, Xiang Yang blinked at Xiang Feng, who immediately understood and said quickly: "Oh, I have this old problem and it never gets better. I will suffer when the weather gets colder."
"Who are you?" Everyone was stunned by this scene, especially Lin Qingfang, who looked at the two people with disbelief. This poor teacher actually recognized the boss of the Imperial Palace? How can this be
"Oh, he is my fellow villager. We came from the same village." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, we are fellow villagers." Xiang Feng said quickly.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. Let me leave you my contact information. I'll meet you next time." Xiang Yang said.
"Okay, okay." Xiang Feng quickly took out a business card and handed it over with both hands. His action immediately made everyone's expressions change.
"Then I won't disturb you." There was a smile on Xiang Feng's face. Although it seemed to be no different from usual, Lawyer Zhong and others keenly noticed that something was wrong. It seemed that the boss of the Imperial Palace was a little embarrassed in front of Xiang Yang. cautious.
"Isn't his identity just as simple as an ordinary high school teacher?" Lawyer Zhong's eyes showed suspicion.
"Sorry to disturb everyone, these are the food and drinks sent by the boss."
Not long after, waiters walked in one after another. They were holding expensive wines or various fancy dishes in their hands. Everyone present was silent for a while. They understood that among the bosses of the Imperial Palace, The reason why so many drinks and food were served was not because of Lawyer Zhong, but because of Xiang Yang, an ordinary high school teacher who had always been looked down upon by them and ridiculed by Lin Qingfang.
