âDo you think youâre allowed to sit here? This seat is reserved for my boyfriend! Sigh, letâs not talk about how cheap you were last time. Why are you still a loser after studying in college for three years?
Shoo, get out of my way!â
Chen Hao couldnât even remember the name of this girl who was once his classmate.
He was too lazy to argue with her but that would mean that the only place he could sit at was next to the door where the dishes were usually served.
Chen Hao realized that everyone seemed to want him to sit there, so he sat down with a wry smile.
Actually, there was also a seat beside Li Shihan. However, she had put her bag on it to indicate that the place was taken. She didnât want Chen Hao to take the seat at all.
âShihan, when is Ma Fei coming?â After Chen Lin shook her head with a smirk while looking at Chen Hao, she turned to ask Li Shihan.
âHim? Hmph. He always dawdles no matter what he does. He says heâll be reaching soon but in fact it will take him a while.â
Li Shihan actually felt proud although she was complaining about him.
âOh, what did Shihan just say? The fact that our Ma Fei has become the sales manager in one of the luxury stores on Jin Ling Commercial Street after he graduated has displeased you, hasnât it?â
âThatâs right. You were very close to Ma Fei those days in school. Now that Ma Fei has become the sales manager in Jin Ling Commercial Street, you keep complaining about him. Just tell us the truth, are you doing it purposely to trigger our envy?â
âBut seriously, can you tell us how Ma Fei was hired? Damn, becoming the sales manager of a store on Jin Ling Commercial Street is ten times better than securing a public service position!â
Everyone joined in the conversation as soon as Li Shihan bragged about Ma Fei.
Envy and jealousy could be sensed in their words.
âHmph! I have no idea. You can ask him yourself when heâs here,â Li Shihan replied with a smile.
At this time, the door of the room opened.
Two guys entered the room.
âMa Fei, youâre here!â Everyone smiled at the man who was tall and slender.
This guy was Ma Fei. He was Li Shihanâs current boyfriend.
The other guy was the boyfriend of Chen Haoâs female high school classmate who scolded Chen Hao a while ago. He naturally sat at the place where Chen Hao was about to sit just now.
âMa Fei, we were just talking about you. Speak of the devil! Oh yes, we have a new friend today. Let me introduce him to you. His name is Chen Hao!â
Chen Lin smirked while pointing at Chen Hao, who was sipping his tea.
âOh? So itâs him! Is he the poor loser, Chen Hao? Itâs my pleasure to meet you!â
Ma Fei pretended to be surprised and walked toward Chen Hao, looking like he wanted to shake hands.
Chen Hao only frowned. He sat still and ignored him.
In fact, Chen Hao felt a jolt of anger at this moment.
He was too naive. He thought since they were all old classmates and he hadnât seen them for several years, he would come to the gathering.
It would be fun.
However, when he arrived, he only realized that Chen Lin wasnât sincere in inviting him to attend the gathering. She just invited him so that he could be the barrel of laughs.
Everyone looked down at him, including Li Shihan, who had already become a stranger to Chen Hao.
In short, Chen Hao was totally disappointed.
Chen Hao didnât bother about Ma Fei, but Ma Fei looked at him with a grin and said, âHaha, Chen Hao, you are quite a character. Please excuse me, I was just kidding. Shihan mentioned that both of you were close back then.â
âHmph! Chen Hao, Ma Fei wanted to shake your hand. Look at your attitude! You have no manners at all!â
âThatâs right! Ma Fei, there is no need for you to apologize to him. Shihan also knows that he is just a poor idiot!â
âHahaha, watch your words. He is from Jin Ling College after all. Who knows that he might find a job on Jin Ling Commercial Street after he graduates?â The others continued mocking him.
âOh, then wouldnât we be colleagues? Chen Hao, I would appreciate your guidance!â Ma Fei said with a simper.
He loved to joke around. Furthermore, he often heard Shihanâs high school friends discussing Li Shihan and Chen Hao.
He thought, How was it possible that Li Shihan fell for that poor dude back then?
Sometimes, it made him feel humiliated.
Therefore, once he saw Chen Hao, Ma Fei took the opportunity to make fun of him and anticipated his reaction.
And nowâ¦
Well, this fellow has no experience at all. Heâll know the misery once he heads into the real world!
âHaha, Ma Fei, stop making jokes. All I can say is if Chen Hao was hired to work on Jin Ling Commercial Street, the employer would have to be blind!â
âOh right, Ma Fei, you havenât told us how you became the sales manager at the store youâre working at!â
The topic of the conversation was back to Ma Fei.
âOh, itâs a long story. I think itâs probably because Iâm good at sales but my boss thinks Iâm inexperienced, so he only gave me an annual salary of 300,000. Sigh, I still need to improve on a lot of things!â
âWow! Thatâs awesome!â
It was rare for a fresh graduate to get an annual salary of 300,000. Moreover, he was working for a well-known company, the Jin Ling Commercial Group.
This made Chen Lin feel jealous of Li Shihan.
The two of them were equally beautiful. Chen Lin was more open-minded while Li Shihan was more reserved.
With her personality, Li Shihan became a divine beauty whom people liked more.
Pride crossed Li Shihanâs face.
She then shifted her gaze to Chen Hao who was sitting at the corner.
She sighed with relief internally.
At the same time, she was scared. She thought, What would have happened if I had dated Chen Hao on a whim back then?
âHaha, thatâs my luck. You guys are doing well too! Chen Lin, I heard you have become a teacher in an elementary school. Is it a permanent position?â
Chen Lin nodded her head and said, âYes, thatâs right!â
âThatâs great! Then most of us will probably be settling down in Jin Ling. My plan is to buy a house in Jin Ling in two years and marry Shihan then!â Ma Fei said with a smile.
âHaha. How about you, Chen Hao? Whatâs your plan after your graduation? Will you be applying for the public service position? Have you decided which line of work you are going to do? Do you want to work in sales or perhaps the design industry? Maybe administrative work?â
âBut I would recommend you to choose administrative work. It could be difficult for you to pass the public service examination. As for sales, to be frank, I donât think you have any talent in this area at all.
Designing sounds simple yet itâs actually the most difficult job. You would need good logical thinking. I donât think youâre suitable for design either. Jobs that donât require much thinking probably suits you more. As long as you know how to use a calculator, you should be able to do the job!â
As soon as Ma Fei finished speaking, everyone looked at Chen Hao with derision.
The food had been served, so Chen Hao only focused on eating.
He just nodded his head slightly and said, âI still havenât decided but I will do whatever that suits me.
You donât have to worry about my future!â
âOh, youâre just being stubborn. You should face reality!â
âYes, letâs not talk about the fact that you are just trash. You canât even bear listening to the truth!
Youâre a good-for-nothing!â Chen Lin said helplessly.
Meanwhile, the others didnât realize that some people were quarreling outside their room while they were mocking Chen Hao.
It was a young man and a young lady. They were arguing with the waiter.
âIâve said that I will pay extra for it, donât you understand me? There are quite a number of us and we have to book this room. Give me the amount that you need and f*cking empty the room for me right now!â a man who looked like a ruffian yelled furiously.
