Chapter 1763: A Dumb, Rich, and Good Looking Guy

In Zhang Kaiyuan’s heart, Little Wang became one of the classmates he must make friends with during this reunion. The drivers of the company’s top brass had to be trusted by them. Sometimes, such people’s words were more powerful than those of a vice president. Although the Song Jiang International Hotel and the Douglas Vast Hotel were at daggers drawn, Zhang Kaiyuan did not believe that the Song Jiang International Hotel would be finished just like this!

He was one of the few people with a clear head. The Song Jiang International Hotel was nothing, and even its parent company Ming Yang Entertainment was also nothing. However, he stumbled upon a piece of news from the newspaper a few days ago. There was still the Ming Yang Heavy Industry company in the Ming Yang Group. What was the identity of this company? It was the only heavy industry company in the province and was even a leading company in the country. With the support of such a top boss, how could the Song Jiang International Hotel still fail?

Of course, he did not watch the live report of the press conference and he did not have time to follow up on other companies. He only occasionally read the news in the newspaper.

If he watched the live broadcast of the press conference on TV, he would be surprised to find that he was familiar with a person in the news, someone that he yearned for day and night—Jing Xiaolu.

Zhang Kaiyuan secretly admonished himself for being blind. He should have known earlier not to allow Wu Xiang to park the car in the center. It would have been better to leave the space to Wang Lin and Sun Xiaoran. Although his parking space was in the center, its position was a bit off compared to Wu Xiang’s space.

Zhang Kaiyuan got out of his car after he parked it in the corner. He quickly ran to the front of Wang Lin’s Audi A8, opened the door for him and respectfully took out his business card. He handed it to Wang Lin with both hands and said, “Brother Wang, this is my business card. Please kindly assist me in the future. Do take care of us if you have any business!”

“Kaiyuan Trading Company, CEO?” Little Wang glanced at the business card, then put it in his pocket. He then took out one of his business cards and gave it to Zhang Kaiyuan, “This is my business card. The quality is not as good as yours, hehe…”

“It doesn’t matter. Business cards are just cards for contacting people!” Zhang Kaiyuan gestured and quickly said. Zhang Kaiyuan’s business card was gold and Wang Lin’s business card was just an ordinary white card with offset printing. Zhang Kaiyuan understood that it would be inappropriate for Wang Lin to advertise himself with good business cards considering his identity.

It would be a little awkward if his card was inadvertently more intricate than the top brass’s business card.

“Is everyone here?” Sun Xiaoran saw Zhang Kaiyuan take the initiative to exchange business cards with her man and felt very proud. Last year, Zhang Kaiyuan had also distributed business cards. Although each of them had received one, it was somewhat of a reluctant gesture.

Zhang Kaiyuan was only enthusiastic with those few classmates who were progressing well with their careers. They were also asked for their business card and promised to always keep in touch and to take care of one another in the future. At that time, Sun Xiaoran could only envy them. But, today Zhang Kaiyuan did the same to Little Wang. This showed that Little Wang’s current identity was enough to be among the pride of the class!

Zhang Kaiyuan’s approach in parking Wang Lin’s car only proved this point. He allowed Little Wang’s car to be parked in the center. Although it was not exactly in the center, Zhang Kaiyuan’s attention to Wang Lin was obvious.

As for the BMW 3 next to it, if Sun Xiaoran guessed right, it should be Wu Xiang’s car. Although this BMW was not as prestigious as her car, it belonged to Wu Xiang. Despite the difference in their cars, she and Wu Xiang had a gap. t.

“Some of them have arrived. There are still some on their way. Brother Wang, Little Ran, you go ahead. Other students from our class are already inside the hall. I have to wait for other students outside here!” said Zhang Kaiyuan.

“Okay, then we will go ahead!” Sun Xiaoran nodded and said.

Zhang Kaiyuan accompanied the two of them to the resort’s lobby door before he turned back and continued to wait for the other students to arrive.

Little Wang had started his new job less than a month ago. He had not been paid yet. However, Sun Xiaoran was determined and ruthless. She took Little Wang to the store to buy a few decent suits. She also bought herself a few branded clothes. She borrowed some money from her family for this.

At first, Sun Xiaoran’s parents disagreed, but once Sun Xiaoran told them about Little Wang’s current job, her parents immediately smiled in acknowledgment. Knowing that Little Wang could now earn more than two thousand yuan a month, they immediately loaned out one thousand yuan and let them buy some quality clothes.

This was the first time that Sun Xiaoran appeared dignified in front of her parents. This was also the first time she dared to have a bold and intimate relationship with Little Wang in front of them! This was also the first time that Little Wang had entered Sun Xiaoran’s house without fear! In the past, even if Sun Xiaoran’s parents failed to oust him out, they still ridiculed him and made him leave shamefully without any face!

So, if it was not particularly important, Little Wang would not go to Sun Xiaoran’s home at all! On this day, Little Wang finally got the treatment that a son-in-law deserved!

Although Sun Xiaoran’s parents greeted him coldly, they were welcoming to him after learning of his current job. They also reminded him and Sun Xiaoran to visit often whenever they were free.

Little Wang was at ease in his heart. But at the same time, he was even more grateful to Yang Ming. Without Yang Ming’s promotion, he would not have his success today! Although he had confidence in his relationship with Sun Xiaoran, Sun Xiaoran’s parents were always hindering both of them viciously. Sooner or later, there would be a day when there would be a crack in their relationship.

The appropriately dressed Sun Xiaoran and Wang Lin walked into the resort’s lobby and saw some familiar classmates.

Actually, when Sun Xiaoran and Wang Lin had parked their cars, some classmates noticed it and saw Zhang Kaiyuan’s attitude towards them. How could they not understand that these two were already rich?

Little Wang and Sun Xiaoran were immediately surrounded by classmates who were doing well. For those who were not doing well and were in the same situation as Sun Xiaoran last year, this year was the same for them and they felt bitter in their heart.

It seemed that there would be another eye-catching pair for tonight. Some of them were happy for Sun Xiaoran but there were also some who were jealous and envious of her. However, in any case, Sun Xiaoran had become the center of attention just like Wu Xiang who arrived earlier.

This feeling made Sun Xiaoran elated. She gazed at Little Wang longingly and tenderly…

Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu were driving ahead with Bi Hai and Ge Xinyao following them from behind. Their two cars quickly arrived together at the Immortal Resort. At this time, Zhang Kaiyuan ushered in a few more classmates and looked at the list in his hand. All the classmates that were doing well had already arrived. There should be no more outstanding classmates left. So, Zhang Kaiyuan did not want to wait any longer and planned to return to the hall to chat with the classmates who had arrived. As for those who arrived later, he would let them come in by themselves.

However, Zhang Kaiyuan pondered on the lesson he learned from Sun Xiaoran. Maybe some of the classmates who are yet to arrive had a reversal in fortune. It is hard to say! Zhang Kaiyuan was a smooth and slick person. The purpose of him organizing the class reunion this time was to strengthen his relationship with some of his successful classmates and develop his business.

So, if the classmates who are yet to arrive are also successful, wouldn’t I be missing out? With this thought, Zhang Kaiyuan decided to wait a little longer. The time did not matter. When all of them had arrived, it would not be too late even if he were to go in at that time.

Moreover, the most important thing was the person that he had been yearning for days and nights, Jing Xiaolu, had yet to arrive. But Zhang Kaiyuan was not sure whether Jing Xiaolu would come this year. After all, she and Ge Xinyao were neglected last year. The former underworld boss, Bi Hai, was just a punk in the bar. Zhang Kaiyuan, as the prodigal son of a rich family, did not even notice him.

After a while, a BMWX5 arrived! Zhang Kaiyuan rubbed his eyes. Am I hallucinating? Is one of my classmates driving such a car?

Why are there so many weird happenings this year? No, no! Sun Xiaoran was already a special case. Could there be such a coincidence? This is definitely not my classmates’ car.

“Who is the person standing over there? Is he your classmate?” Yang Ming asked Jing Xiaolu while looking at Zhang Kaiyuan who was standing by the resort door.

“Oh, yes, it is our classmate. A dumb, rich and good-looking guy,” Jing Xiaolu said. She frowned the moment she caught sight of Zhang Kaiyuan.

Chapter 1764: Another One

“Dumb, rich, and good-looking guy?” Yang Ming was stunned for a moment and thought of Liu Jifei. He somewhat knew what Jing Xiaolu meant by dumb, rich, and good-looking guy meant. He couldn’t help but shake his head helplessly. “Is he one of those people who you conned?”

“No one forced him to be lecherous. He deserved to be deceived by me!” Jing Xiaolu said while twitching her mouth, showing a scornful expression. “No one decided that he will be deceived by me.”

“…” Yang Ming was speechless with Jing Xiaolu’s reasoning. “Then, from what you said, he was actually the one who was willing?”

“That’s right. I didn’t ask him to give me money. It was because his thinking was corrupted and he wanted to have a relationship beyond friendship with me. I didn’t promise him anything!” Jing Xiaolu shook her head and said.

Yang Ming smiled. The matter could not be so simple. If Jing Xiaolu did not imply anything, Zhang Kaiyuan would not be hooked. Both sides were equally responsible for this matter.

However, Yang Ming knew about Jing Xiaolu’s family situation when she was young. She was living with her ill grandma. If there was no money, the family would be doomed.

But, sympathy was still sympathy. Yang Ming did not agree with Jing Xiaolu’s approach. For these so-called “dumb, rich, and good-looking guys” who gave her money and schemed against her, Yang Ming could only sympathize with them in return.

“Then, am I a dumb, rich, and good-looking guy for giving you the car and the shares?” Yang Ming suddenly thought of a very serious problem.

“You? Of course not.” Jing Xiaolu laughed. “You do not have a hidden motive against me. You even reject me when I willingly throw myself at you!”

“Cough…” Yang Ming coughed dryly twice. “Let’s find a place to park?”

“Why are there so many cars? Looks like my classmates are doing well.” Jing Xiaolu looked at the place closest to the resort’s entrance. It was full of cars. They could only park at a sport further away.

“Aren’t you going to greet that dumb, rich, and good-looking guy first?” Yang Ming looked at Zhang Kaiyuan who was standing not far away and asked Jing Xiaolu.

“I don’t feel like talking to him. Forget it.” Jing Xiaolu shook her head and drove to the side of the Camry not far away. “This seems to be the dumb, rich, and good-looking guy’s car. I saw it last year.”

Jing Xiaolu’s car passed by and Bi Hai’s Magotan also followed. However, there was no conflict between Ge Xinyao and Zhang Kaiyuan. Moreover, Ge Xinyao wanted to show off a little. So, she opened the window and shouted to Zhang Kaiyuan, “Zhang Kaiyuan, you are not standing at the door just to greet me, right?”

Zhang Kaiyuan suddenly saw Ge Xinyao and was surprised for a moment. He then looked at the Magotan. At least, it was in the same class as his Camry. He thought, Did Ge Xinyao get rich too?

But, Zhang Kaiyuan could not figure it out. So, he did not think too much about it. He walked over quickly and said with a smile, “It ‘s Xinyao…” Then, his gaze then swept to the driver’s seat of the car she was in. When he confirmed that Bi Hai was Ge Xinyao’s male companion, he then greeted him, “Brother Hai, you are here too?”

He learned a lesson from Sun Xiaoran and Little Wang. Zhang Kaiyuan did not dare to assume that Ge Xinyao changed her boyfriend and decided to speak only after observing carefully. Once he took a closer look, he confirmed it was indeed the former punk, Bi Hai.

“Hehe, I’m here!” Bi Hai smiled and parked his car first. He walked off from the car and said to Zhang Kaiyuan, “Kaiyuan, you still remember me. It must be hard for you!”

These words were laced with sarcasm. When Zhang Kaiyuan was in school, he curried favor with Bi Hai. But, after graduating, he took over the family business and started to disdain and alienate Bi Hai. At the last class reunion, he just blandly said a couple of meaningless greetings and left. This made Bi Hai a little irritated. Hence, he grabbed the opportunity to be sarcastic.

“How can I forget? Like I said, Brother Hai, you were our boss when we were in school!” Zhang Kaiyuan said with a smile.

“That’s rare!” Bi Hai had no intention to pursue the matter, especially since Yang Ming had come too. He could not be so unruly and get into petty arguments with these people. Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu might become unhappy when they saw it.

“Brother Hai, look at your clothes and your car. It seems that you are doing well. Which job were you promoted to now?” Zhang Kaiyuan pretended to ask casually.

“Well, if you meant being promoted to a better job, then that’s out of the question. I am just a property manager at Ming Yang Garden!” said Bi Hai indifferently.

“Ming Yang Garden? So, do you also work for the Ming Yang Group?” Zhang Kaiyuan asked as he was surprised when he heard this. He had heard of this Ming Yang Garden, which was the most upscale villa area in the city. The real estate company there made a lot of profit. No wonder Bi Hai was doing well now!

Ming Yang Garden was naturally also owned by Ming Yang Real Estate Company, which belonged to the Ming Yang Group.

“Yes, what’s up? Is there a problem?” Bi Hai asked curiously when he heard Zhang Kaiyuan say this.

“Nothing, Xinyao. Our classmate Sun Xiaoran’s boyfriend also works for the Ming Yang Group. Who knows, you may know each other!” said Zhang Kaiyuan.

“Oh? What a coincidence? Then, I will need to have a chat with him once I meet him later. I didn’t even know!” Bi Hai nodded in surprise.

“Hehe, they are inside. You will see them when you go in!” Zhang Kaiyuan pointed to the resort hall behind him and said, “Go ahead, I will be outside waiting for the other students!”

“We…” Bi Hai wanted to say that they still needed to wait for Brother Yang. But, after pondering for a while, he did not say it as this Zhang Kaiyuan did not know Brother Yang.

On the other hand, Ge Xinyao pushed Bi Hai, gave him a wink, and said to Zhang Kaiyuan, “Okay, then we will go ahead!”

Bi Hai felt that it was a bit rude for him to go in without waiting for Yang Ming, but he did not know what Ge Xinyao meant. However, since Ge Xinyao winked at him, he would just listen to her!

“But, can I park my car here? It is blocking someone else’s car…” Bi Hai asked while glancing awkwardly at the BMW 3 in front of his car.

“It doesn’t matter. That is Wu Xiang’s car. She is also our classmate. It doesn’t matter!” Zhang Kaiyuan waved and smiled. “Everyone, enjoy and leave together tomorrow!

“Well, alright then!” Bi Hai nodded. He agreed since all of them were Ge Xinyao’s classmates. Bi Hai’s heart could not help but tremble once he heard Wu Xiang’s name.

This little flirt hussy had an ambiguous relationship with him while they were in school. Thinking of Wu Xiang’s flirtatious behavior, Bi Hai could not help but be a little fascinated. It seems that this little flirt hussy hooked up with a wealthy person again and managed to buy such a high-quality car!

Seeing Bi Hai’s lustful gaze, Ge Xinyao knew what he was thinking about at this moment. She was aware of his past. She suddenly glared at him resentfully. After Zhang Kaiyuan left after escorting them to the door, Ge Xinyao could not help but ask, “What crooked things were you thinking just now?”

“No…nothing.” Bi Hai was startled. Did Ge Xinyao read my thoughts? He did not dare to have any improper thoughts about Wu Xiang now. His future development depended on Ge Xinyao. If he upset Ge Xinyao, she would tell Jing Xiaolu and Lin Zhiyun. If Yang Ming was told about this, he would be absolutely done for.

So, Bi Hai immediately said, “I was just thinking about why we didn’t wait for Brother Yang and sister-in-law Xiaolu? How impolite!”

“What do you know?” Ge Xinyao knew that Bi Hai was changing the topic, but she also knew that it was already good enough for Bi Hai to be this obedient. So, she did not persist and explained to him, “Do you know about the past affair between Xiaolu and Zhang Kaiyuan?”

“What? Xiaolu and Zhang Kaiyuan had sex before? It can’t be, right?” Bi Hai was stunned for a moment and asked.

“What in the world! Sex!?” Ge Xinyao rolled her eyes at Bi Hai. “Would Xiaolu even fall for him? Don’t you know? Before Xiaolu and Brother Yang were together, she neither liked anybody nor was taken advantage of by anybody. She’s still a virgin!”

“Oh, I see. Xiaolu considered that Zhang Kaiyuan to be a dumb, rich, and good-looking guy to be slaughtered!” Bi Hai said after suddenly realizing the situation.

“So, as Xiaolu and Brother Yang came together, it would be inevitably awkward when they meet Zhang Kaiyuan. The worst part of this encounter is that Zhang Kaiyuan is still infatuated with Xiaolu. If both of us are there when they say something inappropriate, wouldn’t that be awkward?” said Ge Xinyao. “That’s why I asked you to quickly go elsewhere!”

“So, that’s the story!” Bi Hai quickened his steps, appearing to understand the situation. “In a while, it is inevitable that Brother Yang will know about Sister-In-Law Xiaolu’s history. If we pretend to not know, it will be good. But, if we heard it, how can we still meet up with him in the future! My wife, you are smart!”
