Chapter 39 - Shock

Xiang Yang"s statement that her company was close to collapse hit Lin Qingfang"s current situation. Her foreign trade company was not big, if it was not because of relationships, she would not have become the general manager, and due to her recent decision mistakes, the company had to compensate tens of millions of dollars in price and find a bank to lend. However, because the company still owed money to the bank and had not yet been repaid, the bank had not approved for loaning more money, her boss was worried that there was nowhere to get the money, if they do not get money in a short period of time, the company would really close down.

She just wanted to see if there was anyone amongst these old cla.s.smates of hers who was willing to help her borrow money at the bank. It was said that Lawyer Zhong was doing pretty well in the Tianhai, with both black and white being eaten together, so she thought of a way to suppress Xiang Yang, preparing to give him a breather, first to make him happy, then to discuss the matter of asking him to help. Her thoughts were good, but what she did not expect was that meeting this mysterious and eccentric Xiang Yang would cause his plans to go down the drain.

Of course, the current Lin Qingfang was only incomparably furious and shocked to the core. How did Xiang Yang know about her situation? Could it be that Xiang Yang had specially investigated her before this?

That was obviously impossible. However, how could this b.a.s.t.a.r.d know about his situation?

Lin Qingfang looked at Xiang Yang angrily, her eyes seemed like it was going to spew fire, her heart was trembling slightly, she was a person with good face, how could she endure Xiang Yang talking about her current situation in front of so many students?

"I don"t believe that you"re the general manager of a foreign trade company. A general manager of a foreign trade company wouldn"t have such shallow knowledge." Facing the incomparably furious Lin Qingfang, Xiang Yang continued to speak with a faint smile.

"You said that I"m inexperienced? You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" Lin Qingfang stared at Xiang Yang in anger; she almost could not resist and wanted to fight with Xiang Yang.

"Mr Xiang, isn"t that a bit too much? We"re all cla.s.smates, why did we have to go through all this trouble?" Cla.s.s monitor Zhang Lin frowned as he looked at Xiang Yang with dissatisfaction, while the others also revealed displeasure on their faces.

Although they did not like Lin Qingfang"s words, they were, after all, old cla.s.smates of theirs, and compared to the others, Xiang Yang was merely brought here by Lu Xinran. No one liked Xiang Yang, so they could not help him.

"I have basis for what I said." Xiang Yang glanced at him and said.

"Oh, we"d like to hear what basis you have." Cla.s.s monitor Zhang Lin snorted coldly. Xiang Yang"s confident look made him feel uncomfortable.

Xiang Yang picked up a bottle of wine in front of his and said indifferently, "This is the rising star produced in Australia, it is a low grade wine, in foreign countries, the price is about 150 euros, even in China, it is only worth one or two thousand. In foreign countries, this is the trashiest of wine, but she thinks it is the top, heh heh, this is bullying me because I am just a normal high school teacher."

"Just make it up; let"s see who will believe you." Lin Qingfang said with a cold smile.

Xiang Yang laughed faintly, looking at Lawyer Zhong and the others, "You don"t understand, but they do. Am I right?"

"Yes, he"s right." Lawyer Zhong said in a deep voice, and looked at Xiang Yang with a strange gaze. The "Morning Star" brand of wine was not very famous in the country, and very few people knew it, but the taste was good, because it was imported, and the price was suitable. They had chosen this as their wine for the gathering.

"So what if it is? No matter what, it"s still over a thousand bottles of wine. I"m afraid you won"t be able to buy more than one bottle a month with your monthly salary." Lin Qingfang said with a cold smile.

Once she said those words, everyone looked unhappy. Although what she said was the truth, they were gathered at a cla.s.s reunion and not here to compete with each other for their financial resources. Now that she made a ruckus, the whole reunion lost its original meaning.

After all, in their eyes, Lin Qingfang was one of their own, while Xiang Yang was just Lu Xinran"s boyfriend. He was an outsider, so they had no reason to help an outsider deal with one of their own.

"Sorry for disturbing you. This is the last dish. Please enjoy."

At this moment, a waiter came in with a dish, easing the awkward atmosphere.

"We didn"t order this dish. Did you send it the wrong way?" The cla.s.s monitor, Zhang Lin, who was in charge of ordering the dishes called the waiter.

"That"s right; this dish was specially gifted to you all by our manager when he saw that Lawyer Zhong was here." The waiter smiled.

"Wa, Old Zhong, Old Zhong, you"re so awesome! Even the manager of Imperial Palace had to send you a dish when he saw you!"

"I finally got to see the power of a lawyer."

"…"

The group of people flattered Lawyer Zhong one after another. Although the latter had a modest smile on his face, the corners of his eyes still showed that he was proud. He shot a glance at Xiang Yang, and felt a sense of superiority in his heart, but wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

The more Lawyer Zhong acted this way, the more everyone felt that he was hiding his powers. In reality, he was a huge character, and in that moment, everyone was looking at Lawyer Zhong with astonished and shocked.

"Xinran, look at Lawyer Zhong. Not only is he handsome, he is also successful in his career, even the manager of Imperial Palace wanted people to serve him dishes. With such an ident.i.ty, he is considered one of the best in the entire Tianhai City; this is what you call an ideal boyfriend." Lin Qingfang took the opportunity to tell Lu Xinran.

"Since you think he"s so good, since you"re not married, you can chase after him." Lu Xinran laughed coldly, and finally could not resist and began to counterattack.

"I know what I look like, I"m not worthy of him, and only you, School Beauty Lu, are worthy enough for Lawyer Zhong! Similarly, only Lawyer Zhong is worthy enough for you, you should pay attention when looking for a man; you shouldn"t be so easily fooled by someone"s flowery words." As Lin Qingfang said this, she glanced at Xiang Yang with thick disdain in her eyes.

The meaning of her words was naturally to say that Xiang Yang had used flowery words to deceive Lu Xinran. Everyone looked at Xiang Yang with a strange expression after hearing it.

Of course, compared to the people present, it was extremely obvious that the difference between Xiang Yang and Lawyer Zhong was extremely obvious. They felt the same way and even felt that Lu Xinran had a boyfriend, Xiang Yang, that she had been wronged.

Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, the words "wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and whenever there are rivers and lakes, there will be fights" was too accurate. He had merely accompanying Girl Lu to a reunion and was attacked by others for no reason.

Lin Qingfang continued, "Aiya, let me tell you this, as a student, I feel that it"s not worth it. You are a dignified Princ.i.p.al, yet you started a relationship with a teacher of your subordinate.

"Enough…"

Seeing that Lin Qingfang is getting more and more outrageous, Lu Xinran coldly snorted, "I am not here to attend the gathering today to let you all attack my male companion for no reason, don"t think I don"t know what you mean. If you continue to cause trouble for no reason, don"t blame me for not thinking about the feelings of you being cla.s.smates."

"You … You actually want to fall out with an old cla.s.smate like me for a poor teacher?" Lin Qingfang"s face was filled with disbelief.

"You can"t say that we have a falling out. You and I don"t have any relationship in the first place."

Lu Xinran"s heart was filled with anger. From the moment she appeared until now, she was the one who had invited Xiang Yang over, but didn"t expect him to be attacked for no reason.

Her eyes were ice-cold as she looked at Lin Qingfang, and said: "What right do you have to look down on Xiang Yang"s ident.i.ty as a high school teacher? Teaching and educating people are the most sacred thing; as for you, everything you know, all of your accomplishments today, which one of them wasn"t taught by your teacher?"

Not to mention that she was a Princ.i.p.al herself, even if she was an ordinary person, she would never allow Xiang Yang, who was a high school teacher, to be insulted.

"Alright, alright, stop being so noisy. We"re all cla.s.smates, so don"t hurt your relationship because of something small. Come, come, let"s drink."

Seeing that the two girls seemed like they were about to fight it out, Cla.s.s rep Zhang Lin immediately stood up to be the mediator.

"Right, right, right. Come and have a drink with us."

When the others saw this, they too picked up their wine cups, nipping off the battle that was about to begin.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

Just as the people in the room were having their unhappy meal, a middle-aged man walked in from the entrance of Imperial Palace. His clothes were not very expensive, it was just an ordinary suit, but his body emitted the aura of a person in power, he was clearly a person who had been in power for a long time.

"h.e.l.lo, Boss."

Seeing the middle-aged man, the little sister hurriedly bowed respectfully.

"h.e.l.lo everyone, thank you for your hard work." The middle-aged man had an amiable smile on his face. Even though they were only a few waiters, he still greeted them warmly.

"It"s nothing. Thank you for your concern, Boss." A few of the waiters quickly replied.

"Hehe, work hard. I"ll give you guys a raise next time." After the middle-aged man cheered them up, he walked inside.

"Boss." Just as he walked in, the manager of the Imperial Palace hurriedly welcomed him.

"Nothing, I just came to take a look." The middle-aged man smiled and asked, "Oh right, have there been any special guests recently?"

"Speaking of special guests, other than the regular customers that usually come in and out, there"s actually one today. He is the Lawyer Zhong that is famous in the Tianhai City." When the manager said this, he secretly glanced at the middle aged man. In fact, he said all of this out of selfishness because Lawyer Zhong was a good friend of his. He wanted to take this opportunity to let Lawyer Zhong get to know his boss, which would definitely be helpful to Lawyer Zhong in the future.

"Lawyer Zhong, Zhong Zhengming, who had just risen to power in the past two years. He can be considered a talented person, if he was able to go with the flow, he will definitely achieve something in the future. Since I have come, then let"s go and take a look." The middle-aged man said.

"Yes, they are in room 301. Boss, please." The manager hastily led the way.

… … … … … … … … … … … … … … ….

In the room, the scene was a little cold, because Lin Qingfang and Lu Xinran were having a bad time previously. Although under everyone"s persuasion, the fire had already died down, but something like this happened at the reunion, causing the entire situation to become extremely awkward, everyone just quietly ate and drank their wine.

"Dong, dong, dong!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door.

"Come in." The person who spoke was the cla.s.s monitor, Zhang Lin.

"h.e.l.lo everyone, my surname is Zhu and I am the manager of the store. I am an old friend of Lawyer Zhong. This is the Boss of Imperial Palace." The manager of Imperial Palace said as he looked at the boss beside him with a respectful gaze.

"The Boss of Imperial Palace is here, my G.o.d, Old Zhong"s name is too useful." Everyone present revealed looks of shock. Imperial Palace was the only seven-star hotel in Tianhai, and the owner of the restaurant had always been a mysterious person, and it was said that he had a huge power as well. Lawyer Zhong actually managed to get the boss of the Imperial Palace to come personally to meet him, it was truly amazing.

"h.e.l.lo, h.e.l.lo." Upon hearing that the other party was the boss of Imperial Palace, even Lawyer Zhong"s face revealed a look of shock. He immediately stood up and extended his hands out to the boss of the underground palace.

"h.e.l.lo, I am Xiang Feng. I have long heard of Lawyer Zhong"s great name. To have the chance to meet you today, you truly live up to your name. As expected of a famous lawyer in the Tianhai, haha." Boss of Imperial Palace laughed and shook Lawyer Zhong"s hand politely.

"You"re too polite, how can I compare to you with my small achievements?"

Lawyer Zhong knew about the mysteriousness of the Imperial Palace, and that the Boss of Imperial Palace possessed mysterious powers. Even though he was the famous lawyer of the Tianhai, he knew that he was nothing in front of the other party, and was extremely excited in his heart. He did not expect that he could actually get to know the Boss of Imperial Palace, that this meal was worth it.

"These must be your friends. h.e.l.lo everyone, I"ve come with no other intentions. I"m just here to get to know you. Eat and drink well, all of today"s expenses are on my account." Xiang Feng laughed and said.

"How can we accept this?" To be able to make the Boss of Imperial Palace look like he was sparing the expenses of the Imperial Palace, not just anyone could do it. Although Lawyer Zhong had seen many great figures, he couldn"t help but show an expression of excitement.

"Ha, then I won"t disturb you anymore."

To him, forming a relationship with Lawyer Zhong was just an investment. In the future, if Lawyer Zhong could grow up, it would naturally be useful, but if he did not, it would not have any effect on him. With his ident.i.ty, it was impossible for him to enthusiastically chat with Lawyer Zhong at this time.

However, just as Boss of Imperial Palace turned his head, there was a person beside him who yawned with his back facing him, revealing half of his face. The head that Boss of Imperial Palace Xiang Feng was about to turn around with, trembled and stopped, as he looked over with an incredulous expression, as if he had seen something extremely shocking.

"Boss Xiang?" Lawyer Zhong looked at him in puzzlement.

Boss of Imperial Palace ignored Lawyer Zhong, and carefully walked forward, when he clearly saw the face, his entire body shivered, and he suddenly froze.

"What, you don"t know me anymore?" His tone was extremely calm, as if he recognized the Boss of Imperial Palace, causing Lin Qingfang to be unable to refrain from revealing a mocking expression, "Xiang Yang, he is high and mighty Boss of Imperial Palace, how could it be possible for him to know you, don"t think too highly of yourself …"

"Young master …"

However, before Lin Qingfang could finish speaking, Boss of Imperial Palace suddenly shouted out with a trembling voice. At the same time, he actually kneeled down towards Xiang Yang!

However, just as Boss of Imperial Palace Xiang Feng finished speaking, Xiang Yang grabbed him and said with a smile on his face, "Aiya, your leg isn"t healed yet, you"re about to fall any time now."

As he spoke, Xiang Yang winked at Xiang Feng. The latter immediately understood and quickly said: "Aiya, my old ailment has never recovered; I"m going to suffer if the weather gets cold."

Xiang Yang laughed, he patted Boss of Imperial Palace"s shoulders, and praised him, and other party was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

"What?"
