If they weren't familiar with each other, you wouldn't necessarily link them together imdiately. However, now walking towards Chen Feng are precisely these two individuals, even though the middle-aged man is two or three ters ahead of Fang Xiaoyue, not walking side by side, nor communicating, looking as if they are complete strangers to each other.
But as soone who knows Fang Xiaoyue, Chen Feng could tell at a glance.
What a coincidence, isn't it?
Fortunately, Chen Feng had separated from Guo ngyao just now, and Guo ngyao shouldn't have run into Fang Xiaoyue, otherwise, both sides would be very embarrassed.
Now, it's just Fang Xiaoyue who feels the embarrassnt one-sidedly.
Upon seeing Chen Feng, the word "embarrassnt" was clearly written on Fang Xiaoyue's face. She instinctively hurriedly turned around and made her way towards the hotel exit.
The middle-aged man in front had actually been focused on her all along, and her sudden turnaround to leave surprised him greatly, so he couldn't help stopping imdiately, turning around, and calling out to her, "Xiaoyue, what's wrong?"
This shout from the middle-aged man made the relationship between him and Fang Xiaoyue even more evident. Fang Xiaoyue felt a social-death-level of embarrassnt, wishing she could find a hole in the ground to crawl into, it was utterly humiliating.
Going to book a room and running into an old classmate, moreover, it was the Chen Feng she had once had a crush on.
After being utterly embarrassed, Fang Xiaoyue suddenly resigned to her fate, imdiately stopped, turned around, trying to put on a calm appearance, looking at Chen Feng, her old classmate, but she had no idea how awkward the smile on her face looked.
Actually, Chen Feng didn't want to embarrass her either. They could have just pretended not to know each other, brushed past, and that would have been that.
But now with Fang Xiaoyue's reaction, and the middle-aged man wasn't a fool, he imdiately picked up on this, and his face turned a bit displeased.
He imdiately walked up to Fang Xiaoyue, glancing at Chen Feng with hostility, and then in an ostensibly calm tone asked, "Xiaoyue, do you know this handso guy?"
Just as Fang Xiaoyue was about to say sothing, Chen Feng preemptively greeted her with a smile: "Xiaoyue, what a coincidence. Running into you here."
Fang Xiaoyue's face showed so change, and she tried to put on a nonchalant expression, responding with a smile, "Yeah, what a coincidence. When did you return from Xiu Zhou?"
"Just got back today..."
The middle-aged man suddenly interrupted: "Xiaoyue, I haven't t your friend yet. Aren't you going to introduce us?"
He was saying this, but without waiting for Fang Xiaoyue to react, he proactively stepped forward, extending his hand to Chen Feng and introduced himself: "Hello, I'm Xiaoyue's boyfriend, Qi Fulin. May I know your na?"
"Chen Feng, Xiaoyue's high school classmate."
Out of respect for Fang Xiaoyue, Chen Feng briefly shook hands with this middle-aged man.
"Ah, a high school classmate." Qi Fulin glanced at Fang Xiaoyue, who kept her head down and said nothing, then turned to Chen Feng with a big smile, "May I ask, where are you working now?"
Chen Feng also responded with a smile, "I'm sort of working freelance now. May I ask what line of work you're in? Xiaoyue does have pretty high standards and usually doesn't take to just anyone. Didn't expect she'd choose you as her boyfriend."
Chen Feng's words carried so undertone, which Qi Fulin of course caught, but he was composed and didn't show any anger, continuing to smile as he said, "I'm just an ordinary educator, currently serving as the vice-principal at Linnan Third Middle School."
Hearing his self-introduction, Chen Feng imdiately understood why Fang Xiaoyue chose him as her boyfriend. Although he seed to be more than a decade older, being a vice-principal at a middle school in his forties was definitely impressive.
In Lin Nan County, there were three high schools in total. No. 1 School is the key school, where Chen Feng attended back in the day, while No. 2 and No. 3 schools are considered general but not too bad. Especially No. 3 School, which had a good university admission rate every year, particularly in recent years, so even got into Tsinghua University and Peking University.
"So, it's Principal Qi. Apologies for not recognizing a distinguished figure." Chen Feng joked lightly with a smile.
Qi Fulin cordially replied with a squint, "Since you're Xiaoyue's classmate, you're a friend of mine. In the future, just call Brother Qi if you don't mind. Many of my pals call that way."
Chen Feng chuckled and didn't respond to that. At this point, there weren't many people he would take the initiative to call 'Brother', even if Qi Fulin was over ten years his senior.
"Xiaoyue, I've got sothing on, I'll head off. Let's catch up so other ti."
Not wanting to linger around idly with them, Chen Feng greeted Fang Xiaoyue, intending to leave.
Coming to her senses, Fang Xiaoyue quickly responded, "Oh, alright, let's keep in touch."
Chen Feng gave them a slight nod before making his way towards the hotel entrance.
Watching him walk away, Qi Fulin remarked with slight disdain, "Your classmate seems quite arrogant, what makes him so proud?"
Fang Xiaoyue replied crossly, "He has every reason to be. He's worth a tidy sum, at least tens of millions."
Hearing this, Qi Fulin widened his eyes in disbelief, "I really didn't see him as so rich."
Although he was a vice-principal, in terms of money, he certainly didn't have a net worth in the tens of millions. Even assuming there were perks beyond his school salary, making two to three hundred thousand a year was pretty decent. After all, he was only a vice-principal; the really lucrative opportunities weren't his, considering their school had three vice-principals, and none had that kind of wealth.
"You know the ngyao Costics company, right? I just ntioned it to you yesterday. It's run by my high school classmate, Guo ngyao. Her business is thriving, and reportedly valued at two to three hundred million. Chen Feng holds a significant stake in her company.
And that's just what I know. He must have other assets, living in Xiu Zhou all this ti; surely he has interests there too.
Additionally, he has connections and resources I don't entirely know about. Back when Guo ngyao successfully relocated her company from Shen City, forced out the other two shareholders, and managed to divorce her husband, Chen Feng was instruntal in helping with that. That's what ngyao told personally."
Qi Fulin was left speechless. As a forty-sothing vice-principal, he may have thought highly of himself, but compared to soone like Chen Feng, a three-decade-old wealthy and resourceful 'young man', he truly seed small.
"I'm not feeling well today, I'll head back first."
After saying this, Fang Xiaoyue turned and left.
Qi Fulin opened his mouth, wanting to call her back, but all he could do was let out a sigh. He knew introducing himself as her boyfriend must have annoyed her.
In fact, they had only known each other for about a month, today being their first attempt at booking a room, and they hadn't even formally established a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship when they ran into this old classmate Chen Feng.
His performance in front of Chen Feng clearly made Fang Xiaoyue feel embarrassed.
