Luo Chao looked at his manner, feeling it amusingly ridiculous in his heart. He approached, hooked his arm around his shoulder, and laughed, "Ma Jin, it's been a long ti."
Ma Jin chuckled, "Yeah, let's sit and chat, sit here."
They hooked arms like close brothers, but all the classmates knew well that back in high school, they were like water and fire, this was a smile hiding a dagger.
Ma Jin pulled Luo Chao to his table and poured him a drink, "You've been off in the army for years, when did you co back?"
"I ca back last year," Luo Chao eyed the drink. It was top-grade Moutai, and after taking a light sip, he looked around at these long-unseen, strange yet familiar faces, feeling a bit excited. Ti really flies.
Ma Jin, biting his gold tooth, said, "Where are you working now?"
"I'm a clerk in a company's logistics departnt."
"How much do you make in a month?"
"5,000 a month."
"Damn, only 5,000," Ma Jin, hearing this, loudly and arrogantly said, "That's not even enough for my cigarette money for a month. Bro, why don't you work with ? I've opened several hotels downtown, earning millions a month."
The high school classmates all lit up at hearing this. Many imdiately picked up their glasses to toast Ma Jin, and many female classmates threw flirtatious glances at him. Even if Ma Jin wasn't handso, he was rich!
Luo Chao smacked his lips and said, "I'd rather not. Even though I don't make much, I'm pretty comfortable at my job."
Xie Yong chuckled beside him, seeing Ma Jin starting to boast just as expected. But he didn't expect him to latch onto Luo Chao to boast incessantly. No wonder they were mortal enemies in high school, now that Ma Jin has made it big, he had to flaunt it in front of Luo Chao.
"Luo Chao, how can you say that? Ma Jin is considering old classmates by offering you a good job," said a very coquettishly dressed female classmate, resting a hand on Ma Jin's shoulder, seductively.
This female classmate was nad Zheng Xia, who was quite famous in high school, having dated no less than 10 boyfriends, rely during those years.
Zheng Xia's face was covered in thick white powder, and her lips were painted with bright red lipstick, looking very alluring. She wore a low-cut one-piece mini dress, slightly arching her body to deliberately expose her cleavage to Ma Jin, so "provocative" indeed.
Luo Chao teased, "You seem to be Zheng Xia, right? I know you want to go; I'll give you the opportunity. I'm sure Boss Ma would love an employee like you."
"You!" Zheng Xia couldn't miss the subtext, huffed, and at Ma Jin's side, whimpered, "Ma Jin, look, he's bullying ."
Ma Jin cheerfully patted her small hand, "No worries, Luo Chao's just joking with you. If you want to work for , just co by tomorrow."
Zheng Xia joyfully said, "Sure, I'll work very diligently."
"You better work hard," Luo Chao laughed.
"Pfft," Several people burst into laughter; not having seen each other for years, Luo Chao's sharp tongue was as fierce as ever, taking full advantage of logic.
Yet Luo Chao had always been the type to live and let live. Zheng Xia trying to stand on his shoulders was sure to get a few verbal slaps from Luo Chao, making Ma Jin's expression darken just for a mont before he quickly covered it, "Luo Chao, you're still the sa, always so provocative in your words. But like this, it's hard to make it in society."
"What's so cocky about a poor guy," Zheng Xia glanced at Luo Chao, twisting her shapely hips, and returned to her seat.
Luo Chao chuckled, "Not at all, I'm living well, but compared to Boss Ma, I'm definitely far behind."
Ma Jin's eyes flashed with pride when, at this mont, a few waiters brought in so good dishes and started serving. The private room finally fell silent temporarily. Xie Yong, sitting next to him, whispered, "Luo Chao, no need to be so humble."
"I am just a poor person, how could I be high-profile?"
"Damn, who are you fooling!"
Xie Yong felt a bit indignant, having been given a million to start a business, still poor?
"By the way, what are you doing now?" Luo Chao asked.
Xie Yong whispered, "Business is tough nowadays. After thinking it over, I decided to do so stable business. I opened a seafood shop in East Lake District's wholesale market."
"Being your own boss, not bad," Luo Chao nodded.
Xie Yong smiled wryly, "It's alright, inco is stable, but I can't pay back the money I borrowed from you anyti soon."
Luo Chao smiled, "I don't need the money urgently. Pay back when you earn back the principal."
Xie Yong gratefully nodded. Without Luo Chao, he would've been wandering the streets long ago, now renting a small shabby room near the shop, waking up early and going to bed late every day. Although not as comfortable as when he was with Li Na, having a car and a house, life now was fulfilling.
As they quietly conversed, the dishes on the table were all served. At this mont, Ma Jin stood up, loudly saying, "Many of us haven't seen each other for years; this ti we finally got the chance to gather. Reflecting on those three years of high school, I have many feelings, not sure what to say. Here, I'll drink a toast first," after which, Ma Jin downed his drink, then added, "We're all old classmates now. Although I can't say I'm doing incredibly well, I have so fa in Jiangning City; if any challenges arise, feel free to co to !"
Ma Jin's impressive words triggered cheers all around, with many rushing to toast him, though so, knowing Ma Jin wasn't easy to ss with, feared the costs of seeking his help would be greater.
"Sorry, I'm late," the tightly shut private room door creaked open, and a graceful figure appeared in front of everyone, dressed in a black blouse and a black miniskirt below, the professional attire outlining her curvy and alluring figure. The soft lighting shone on her peerless beauty, her skin like a rosy dawn blush, outstandingly pink and delicate, with eyebrows like a painting and eyes like stars—a face with perfect contours showcasing breathtaking beauty.
All the n forgot to breathe, staring straight at her, while the won envied with jealousy and didn't feel so great.
"Shen Birong!" everyone gasped in astonishnt. She was the class beauty during high school, also the school beauty, a legendary figure.
At that mont, Ma Jin nearly drooled, for Shen Birong was even more stunning than before, her gentle elegance irresistibly captivating the eyes.
However, everyone instinctively glanced at Luo Chao because back then, the rumors about Luo Chao and Shen Birong were widespread, and after verification, they indeed were each other's first love.
