Chapter 180 A Deliberate Plan
Chen Yang and Liu Ran walked side by side towards Private Room Number One.
Private Room Number One was very large. As the two pushed open the door, they saw more than a dozen high school classmates, both male and female, already seated around the table.
At this moment, the entire round table was filled with people, with only one empty chair next to Wang Hao.
Seeing Liu Ran and Chen Yang enter, Wang Hao led the applause and stood up. He said to Liu Ran, "Oh my, Class Beauty, old classmate, you're finally here. You see, we're all here, just waiting for you."
Liu Ran smiled and nodded at Wang Hao.
Wang Hao proactively extended his hand and walked towards Liu Ran.
However, at this moment, Chen Yang stepped forward and beat him to it, shaking Wang Hao's hand. He said with a smile, "Hello, hello, thanks for the invitation!"
Wang Hao was stunned for a moment, then quickly withdrew his hand. He glanced at Chen Yang with disdain, feeling annoyed. He had absolutely no intention of acknowledging Chen Yang, but he hadn't expected Chen Yang to be so thick-skinned, actively extending his hand for a handshake.
By this time, Liu Ran had reached the table and waved at her old classmates. She said, "Oh! You're all here so early! Didn't we say it starts at 7:30? It's only 7:25 and everyone's already arrived. My fault, my fault, I didn't expect to be the last one."
The students at the table greeted Liu Ran with clasped hands.
Wang Hao sat down and patted the stool next to him. "Old classmate Liu Ran, please sit down. You're the only one missing."
"Once you're seated, we can start eating. It's been many years since we've seen each other. Today, we must have a good chat, a good meal, and a good drink. We won't leave until we're satisfied, understand?"
Liu Ran was taken aback and looked at the stool next to Wang Hao.
The stool was placed next to Wang Hao, and crucially, there was only one. Yet, she and Chen Yang had come together.
Liu Ran hesitated. The people at the table acted as if they hadn't seen Chen Yang; no one acknowledged him. They all said to Liu Ran, "Oh! Class Beauty Liu Ran, hurry up and sit down!"
"Yes! Yes! We haven't seen each other for so many years, why are we still acting like strangers?"
"Sit down, sit down, Class Beauty Liu Ran, we need to catch up properly."
At this moment, a girl next to her directly pulled Liu Ran's arm, about to usher her towards that seat.
Everyone deliberately ignored Chen Yang.
It was as if Chen Yang were invisible.
Just then, a girl suddenly spoke up, "Oh dear! I forgot, it seems Liu Ran brought her boyfriend along! What should we do? There's no room, no chairs."
Another boy chuckled and said, "It's fine, it's fine. This room is huge. Look, isn't there another seat in the corner? Let Liu Ran's boyfriend sit there."
The crowd erupted in laughter at these words.
That position was for the server, usually to assist those in the private room with ordering songs, adjusting lights, or other services. Hence, there was a server's station.
By having Chen Yang sit in the server's position, the boys were clearly trying to humiliate and demean him.
Liu Ran frowned. She didn't know if these classmates were doing it intentionally, or if they were just joking around casually. Moreover, others hadn't brought their partners, and it seemed only she had brought her husband. Had someone reminded them beforehand not to bring partners?
Liu Ran felt a bit upset. She didn't know what to do.
At this moment, Chen Yang had already walked over and pressed a button on the table.
This was the service call button.
Once connected, Chen Yang immediately shouted into the button, "Are you idiots? Hurry to Private Room Number One. Don't you know there's a seat missing in Private Room Number One? Hurry up."
After speaking, Chen Yang waved at the other students, saying, "Oh! I feel like your math teacher must have been a sports teacher. You can't even figure out the number of people, and you don't know to ask the server for an extra stool. You're all so silly."
Chen Yang grinned.
Wang Hao, sitting to the side, sneered. He had deliberately instructed earlier that the server was absolutely not to enter this private room. After all, people who could afford such a top-tier private room were often wealthy individuals who did not allow servers to disturb them.
They were not necessarily dining with their families; they might be entertaining clients. In such cases, they would often bring escorts or models.
Even more so, some people were not just dining here; they brought attractive women who could stay in the private room for an entire day. Therefore, it was a normal rule that servers were not allowed to enter the private room.
Wang Hao had specifically stated beforehand that servers were absolutely not allowed in.
Now, hearing Chen Yang shouting at the server, he sneered and said slowly, "Chen Yang, I think you're the idiot. Don't you know that in high-end private rooms like this, servers cannot enter and exit freely? Looking at you, you've probably never been to such a place before, have you?"
The other students in the private room immediately followed Wang Hao's lead, jeering at Chen Yang.
"I find this guy very familiar. Weren't you the one who used to deliver takeout to my house?"
"Chen Yang, Mr. Chen, Courier Chen, right? That's you, Hahahaha..."
"Ah, so it's the delivery guy. No wonder. He doesn't know the rules of high-end private rooms. In our high-end private rooms, servers need permission to enter."
"Without Brother Hao's permission, even if the server had eight guts, they wouldn't dare to come in!"
"By the way, Chen Yang, you probably don't know Brother Hao's current status yet, do you? Brother Hao has now inherited a prime commercial building in the core area of Qingzhou City. You must know the Blue Sky Building, right? That Blue Sky Building now belongs to Brother Hao."
"Right, right, Class Beauty, it seems none of us have told you this yet. You absolutely must maintain a good relationship with Brother Hao. Brother Hao is now definitely the wealthiest person in our class, with an estimated net worth of over a billion!"
"After all, he's the new owner of the Blue Sky Building. Ten years ago, the Blue Sky Building was an absolute landmark in Qingzhou City! Who would have thought? It's an honor to be classmates with Brother Hao!"
A group of people immediately fawned over Wang Hao.
Wang Hao smiled with narrowed eyes, nodded, and waved his hands. "Oh! Oh! It's nothing, really. I was just lucky. I never expected to be the illegitimate son of the former chairman of the Blue Sky Commercial Building."
"Now that he's gone, I've inherited the Blue Sky Commercial Building and hundreds of brothers under the Blue Sky Commercial Building."
"Alas! Suddenly becoming a billionaire and joining the ranks of Qingzhou's elite, I haven't fully adjusted yet. In short, I'm a sentimental person. In the future, I guarantee all our old classmates will benefit."
"Right, Liu Ran, hurry up and sit. Don't wait anymore. No server will come in. As for your husband Chen Yang, he's used to delivering takeout anyway, so let him make do with eating in the corner!"
The people at the table erupted in boisterous laughter again, flattering Wang Hao.
However, the next moment, with a bang, the private room door was pushed open. Then, four servers, each carrying a stool, quickly walked in.
