"I don't have any prejudice against anyone!" Jiang Yi said.
"Alright, how about we make a bet? If either of us loses, we'll have two penalty drinks during our meal later," Zhou Mao said confidently.
"Okay!" Jiang Yi nodded.
Just then, He Meimei and Luo Gang walked over.
Seeing Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao, they smiled and greeted them.
Noticing He Meimei and Luo Gang initiating the greeting, Zhou Mao smiled at Jiang Yi, "It seems I'm going to win this time."
"Are we eating here?" He Meimei asked.
"Yes! Right here," Zhou Mao nodded.
"How can we eat in a place like this? It's like a dump. Let's find a more upscale place!"
He Meimei covered her nose with her hand, saying with disgust.
"Exactly. With our current status, eating in a place like this is too embarrassing. If anyone we know sees us, how will we ever face them again!" Luo Gang also frowned, showing his disdain.
Zhou Mao's smile froze.
"Alright, then let's change places!" Jiang Yi said. Sudán Novel Network
After waiting for a while and seeing no other classmates arrive for the reunion, they went straight to the top-tier Royal Hotel.
Upon entering the private room, everyone sat around the dining table.
There were eight seats around the table.
He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei sat together, separated from Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao by one chair.
It was obvious they didn't want to sit with Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
"You guys are really doing poorly!"
Luo Gang looked at Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao and said with a smile, "Zhou Mao, you still have that beat-up van. Jiang Yi doesn't even have a car. Looking at you both, you seem to have trouble even affording a meal."
"They used to be so impressive, now they're practically beggars. They can't compare to us three," Yang Dawei added, striking a blow.
Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao remained silent, planning to let them continue showing off.
"Yang Dawei, what do you do for work? You look like you're doing well! Driving a BMW worth over a million." Luo Gang looked at Yang Dawei.
"I run a factory, and I have a partnership with Tiansheng Group. We just produce some products."
Yang Dawei didn't dare to brag anymore, knowing he couldn't compare to Luo Gang.
"What a coincidence, I run a company that also has a partnership with Tiansheng Group!"
Luo Gang said proudly.
"Since partnering with Tiansheng Group, I earn at least millions a month. In a while, I plan to cooperate more extensively with Tiansheng Group to earn more money."
Yang Dawei had intended to reveal his partnership with Tiansheng Group to show off, but he was immediately overshadowed by Luo Gang.
When Jiang Yi heard that they were cooperating with Tiansheng Group, he couldn't help but chuckle.
Tiansheng Group was a company he founded himself.
"Do you know who the chairman of Tiansheng Group is?" Jiang Yi asked.
"How would we know someone of that stature?"
Luo Gang said, "We only know Director Dong Rui of Tiansheng Group. She's also a big shot, and I had the honor of meeting her once."
"Jiang Yi, could it be that you know the chairman of Tiansheng Group?" Yang Dawei asked.
Yang Dawei intended to mock Jiang Yi.
Jiang Yi didn't reply.
It was normal that they didn't know Ye Yanran was the chairman of Tiansheng Group.
Due to her pregnancy, Ye Yanran basically didn't make public appearances.
For company meetings and other events, Dong Rui attended. Even many leaders of Tiansheng Group had never seen Ye Yanran.
As for who founded Tiansheng Group, they had no idea.
"Jiang Yi is living like a beggar now, how could he possibly know them!" Luo Gang also mocked.
Their words became increasingly harsh, completely disregarding their classmate bond.
They weren't just showing off; they were deliberately humiliating Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao.
"Jiang Yi, do you know why I didn't agree to be your girlfriend back when we were studying?" He Meimei asked.
"Why?" Jiang Yi asked with a smile.
"Because I knew you would never amount to anything in your life!"
"If I had been your girlfriend, it would have been the biggest shame of my life."
"Seeing you again now, and seeing your current state, I think I made a very wise choice back then," He Meimei said with a smile.
Jiang Yi shrugged.
"You're even less worthy of me now!"
He Meimei said proudly, "Do you know who my husband is? He's a manager at Tiansheng Group, just appointed yesterday."
He Meimei said this deliberately for Luo Gang and Yang Dawei to hear.
Her husband being a manager at Tiansheng Group was naturally much more impressive than Luo Gang and Yang Dawei's cooperative relationship.
"He Meimei, I didn't expect you to be so capable, marrying such a capable man!" Yang Dawei exclaimed.
"You're amazing!"
Luo Gang also said, "We're old classmates, don't forget us if there are any benefits in the future."
"Don't worry, I won't forget you. I'll introduce you to my husband when I have time," He Meimei said smugly.
Hearing this, Luo Gang and Yang Dawei became extremely excited and busied themselves trying to flatter He Meimei.
Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao sat aside helplessly.
The entire private room was filled with He Meimei's boasting and Luo Gang and Yang Dawei's fawning and ingratiating voices.
"You guys chat, Zhou Mao and I are leaving!" Jiang Yi said.
He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei grunted in response, paying no further attention to Jiang Yi and Zhou Mao, not even wanting to glance at them.
After leaving the hotel and reaching the entrance.
Zhou Mao couldn't stop sighing.
"If I had known, I wouldn't have organized this class reunion."
Zhou Mao said in disappointment, "So many classmates, yet only these three showed up, and each one is more disgusting than the last."
Jiang Yi also took a deep breath.
In this society, some things were utterly worthless.
"How about we go back and I'll tell them my true identity, and see how they show off then!" Zhou Mao said indignantly.
"What's the point!"
Jiang Yi smiled faintly, "In the future, we probably won't ever meet again."
Hearing this, Zhou Mao dismissed the idea.
"After my legs were crippled, I stopped paying attention to business matters. What is the origin of Tiansheng Group? Judging by Yang Dawei and the others' tone, this Tiansheng Group seems very powerful." Zhou Mao asked.
"Tiansheng Group was founded by me in Jiangcheng!"
Jiang Yi said, "Later, I handed Tiansheng Group over to Ye Yanran, and Ye Yanran then moved Tiansheng Group to Li City."
Zhou Mao was stunned for a moment upon hearing this, then burst into laughter.
"I never expected you to have such capabilities!"
Zhou Mao laughed, "If He Meimei, Luo Gang, and Yang Dawei knew your identity, I wonder what their expressions would be. They'd probably want to find a hole to crawl into."
