The most handsome guy in the whole place
When Zhang Kai saw Li Wei, he immediately stood up.
"Holy crap, Li Wei, you're finally here!"
He walked over and patted Li Wei on the shoulder.
"Brother, long time no see!"
Li Wei smiled.
"Long time no see."
Zhang Kai pulled Li Wei to sit down.
"Come, sit over here."
Chen Hao also sat down.
He picked up his glass.
"Since everyone is here, let's have a drink first!"
Everyone raised their glasses one after another.
"Long time no see!"
"Cheers!"
Li Wei also raised his glass and took a sip.
The beer tasted average.
Chen Hao put down his glass.
"Right, as requested, let's all talk about our current situations. It'll make it easier for everyone to expand their networks; after all, more connections mean more opportunities."
He smiled.
"I'll go first."
He paused.
"I'm currently working at Tencent. I just got a promotion, and my annual salary is six hundred thousand."
A chorus of exclamations immediately rang out below.
"Holy crap, Brother Hao is awesome!"
"Six hundred thousand! That's fifty thousand a month!"
"Tencent is truly impressive!"
Chen Hao smiled very proudly.
"It's alright, just enough to make a living."
He paused.
"Oh, and I recently bought a car, a bmw 5 series."
Another wave of exclamations followed.
"Brother Hao is really amazing!"
"A BMW, I'm so jealous!"
Chen Hao waved his hand.
"It's nothing, just a means of transport."
He turned his head to look at Liu Siyu next to him.
"Siyu, it's your turn."
Liu Siyu smiled.
She was wearing a white dress and had exquisite makeup on.
"Me? I'm currently a full-time mother at home."
She paused.
"My husband is in business, and his income is okay."
Chen Hao laughed.
"More than just okay, your husband runs a company!"
Liu Siyu blushed.
"He's not that amazing."
Chen Hao continued.
"By the way, that maserati quattroporte of yours, how much did it cost?"
Liu Siyu paused.
"1.2 million."
Another wave of exclamations broke out below.
"Holy crap, 1.2 million!"
"She married so well!"
Liu Siyu smiled very happily.
Next, the others also began to introduce themselves.
Some worked in state-owned enterprises with an annual salary of two to three hundred thousand.
Some were in private companies, earning over a hundred thousand a year.
Others were starting their own businesses, talking big, but clearly not making much money.
It was Wang Li's turn.
She stood up.
"I'm currently a sales associate at the LV counter in MixC."
She paused.
"The income is okay, about thirty to forty thousand a month."
Someone below exclaimed.
"Wang Li is impressive!"
"Thirty to forty thousand a month, that's four to five hundred thousand a year!"
Wang Li smiled.
"My job depends on performance, so the income is unstable. I can't compare to you all."
She sat down.
Chen Hao's gaze fell on Li Wei.
"Li Wei, it's your turn."
The private room suddenly fell silent.
Everyone was looking at Li Wei.
Li Wei put down his chopsticks.
"Me? I just changed jobs."
Chen Hao raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of job?"
Li Wei thought for a moment.
"Investment."
Chen Hao was stunned for a moment.
"Investment?"
Li Wei nodded.
"Yeah, in the jewelry industry."
Chen Hao smiled.
"Jewelry, huh? That's pretty good."
He paused.
"How much did you invest?"
Li Wei took a sip of beer.
"Five million."
The private room suddenly went quiet.
Everyone was stunned.
The smile on Chen Hao's face froze.
"How... how much?"
Li Wei repeated.
"Five million."
Chen Hao opened his mouth.
"You... where did you get so much money?"
Li Wei smiled.
"Naturally, it was earned through business. It's not like it was blown in by the wind."
Chen Hao stared at him for a few seconds.
"For real?"
Li Wei didn't answer.
At this moment, Zhang Kai suddenly spoke up.
"Brother Hao, Li Wei definitely didn't lie to you."
He paused.
"Do you know what car he drove here today?"
Chen Hao turned his head.
"What car?"
Zhang Kai smiled.
"A mercedes-benz s-class."
Chen Hao was stunned.
"A mercedes-benz s-class?"
Zhang Kai nodded.
"Yeah, I saw it outside just now."
He paused.
"That car must cost at least three million, right?"
Chen Hao's expression changed.
A three-million-dollar car.
A five-million-dollar investment.
Just how much fortune had Li Wei made?
He swallowed hard.
"Li Wei, you... you're really that rich?"
Li Wei smiled.
Since he had dared to come to the class reunion, he naturally didn't plan on hiding anything.
"It's alright."
Chen Hao stopped talking.
Liu Siyu was also stunned.
She had originally wanted to show off the Maserati her husband gave her in front of her classmates.
As it turned out, Li Wei's mercedes-benz s-class was more than twice as expensive as her car.
She bit her lip.
"Li Wei, did you buy this car or rent it?"
Li Wei turned his head.
"Bought it."
Liu Siyu was stunned for a moment.
"Paid in full?"
Li Wei nodded.
"Yeah."
Liu Siyu stopped talking.
The atmosphere in the private room was a bit awkward.
Zhang Kai quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore."
He raised his glass.
"Come, let's drink!"
Everyone raised their glasses.
"Drink!"
Li Wei also raised his glass and took a sip.
The barbecue started arriving one by one.
Skewers, grilled fish, grilled eggplant, grilled oysters.
The taste was quite good.
Li Wei ate very intently.
Chen Hao sat opposite him, stealing glances at him.
His expression was very ugly.
He had originally wanted to show off in front of his classmates today.
But as soon as Li Wei appeared, he was completely outshone.
An annual salary of six hundred thousand?
The other guy casually invested five million.
A bmw 5 series?
The other guy drove a mercedes-benz s-class.
The more Chen Hao thought about it, the more unpleasant it felt.
He picked up his glass and took a large gulp.
At this time, Wang Li leaned closer to Li Wei.
She whispered.
"Li Wei, was everything you just said true?"
Li Wei turned his head.
"What do you think?"
Wang Li bit her lip.
"I... I don't know."
Li Wei smiled.
"Then take it as true."
Wang Li blushed.
She lowered her head, her hands wringing the hem of her skirt.
She suddenly felt a bit of regret in her heart.
Back in university, Li Wei had actually pursued her.
It was just that at the time, she felt Li Wei was too ordinary, and his hometown was in the mountains, so he didn't have much money and naturally no future.
So until graduation, they were just ordinary friends.
She hadn't expected that after a few years.
Li Wei would actually become so rich.
Wang Li stole a glance at Li Wei.
He was eating skewers with a calm expression.
This was the aura of someone in a high position.
He completely disregarded the eyes of the people around him.
Wang Li suddenly felt a bit of bitterness in her heart.
If she had agreed to Li Wei back then.
Would she now be able to sit by his side as his rightful partner?
Ride in his car, spend his money, and not have to worry about sales targets every month herself.
She sighed.
She lowered her head and continued eating.
The gathering lasted until ten o'clock in the evening.
Everyone had had enough to drink and began to leave one after another.
Chen Hao walked up to Li Wei.
"Li Wei, shall we have a meal together when you're free another day?"
Li Wei thought for a moment.
He didn't have a good impression of Chen Hao.
He was too pretentious.
"We'll see."
Chen Hao nodded.
"Alright, then let's get in touch later."
He turned and left.
When he reached the door, he turned back to look at Li Wei again.
His expression was very complex.
Liu Siyu also walked over.
"Li Wei, can I add you on wechat?"
Li Wei glanced at her chest and decisively took out his phone.
"Sure."
The two added each other on wechat.
Liu Siyu smiled.
"Then let's talk later."
She turned and left.
In the end, only Li Wei, Wang Li, and Zhang Kai were left.
Zhang Kai patted Li Wei on the shoulder.
"Brother, you're something else."
He paused.
"You struck it rich and didn't even tell me. You kept me in the dark so well."
Li Wei laughed.
"What's there to say?"
Zhang Kai sighed.
"Alright then, I'll head off first. Don't forget me if there's a chance to make a fortune."
He waved his hand.
"Sure, let's get in touch later."
Li Wei nodded.
"Okay."
Zhang Kai left.
Only Li Wei and Wang Li remained in the private room.
