Chapter 1231: 849 I’m Not Boasting (First Update)

Pleasant times are always fleeting.

Before we knew it, dusk was nearing, and an afternoon had passed just like that.

"Everyone, please take a seat."

It’s rare to see large round tables like this one that can accommodate twenty or thirty diners elsewhere.

Chi Jin naturally deserves a seat at the table.

"Let’s sit here."

Even though we just sang our old school song in the karaoke room not long ago, for some reason, Wu Yufei still seemed a bit shy. After some persuasion from Ouyang Qing, she was forcibly pulled to take a seat.

She was seated next to Jiang Chen.

"Jianqiang, call a few classmates and go get the wine from my car."

Chi Jin took out his car keys and handed them to Gao Jianqiang, who acted like his protector.

"Chi, you even brought your own wine?"

One classmate asked.

"Since I have my own store, I brought a few bottles. They are not too fancy, but definitely not bad, original imported wines, at least you don’t have to worry about them being fake."

"Right, there are just too many counterfeit wines on the market nowadays."

Chi Jin added with a laugh, "Remember to bring the cigarettes too."

Gao Jianqiang, obedient to the instructions, and a few other male classmates volunteered to help.

Chi Jin prepared not only wines but also an entire box of Maotai and a box of cigarettes.

The cigarettes were the prestigious ’95 Imperial.

His generosity left all the old classmates in awe.

They might not understand the value of a few bottles of fine wine, but just the box of Maotai and the cigarettes probably amounted to nearly one hundred thousand!

"Is Chi Jin making so much money now?"

"And to think he isn’t just making money, but also being so generous!"

"No wonder Gao Jianqiang is working so hard as a handyman. If it were me, I’d be willing to run errands too!"

Everyone was shocked and envious.

"Distribute the cigarettes to everyone."

Chi Jin gave the orders smilingly.

Gao Jianqiang opened the cigarette box and, along with a few classmates who helped, began distributing the cigarettes.

"I don’t smoke."

One female classmate didn’t expect to receive any.

"No worries, if you can’t smoke them, take them back for your relatives, friends, or boyfriend."

Upon hearing this, the female classmate no longer refused, "Chi Jin, thanks a lot."

Chi Jin smiled nonchalantly.

Gao Jianqiang and others went around the table distributing cigarettes, treating men and women equally, one pack per person.

Even if you don’t smoke, just take it to a convenience store to sell. Not to mention more, but you’ll definitely have your day’s meal money covered.

"Thanks."

Even non-smoker Comrade Jiang Chen didn’t refuse the kind gesture from an old classmate and took the ’95 Imperial handed over by Gao Jianqiang.

"It can be taken back as a gift for my dad."

Ouyang Qing muttered.

"Then I’ll give you my pack as well."

Wu Yufei handed over the cigarettes she received.

"Do you smoke?"

Jiang Chen turned his head to ask Xie Wendong.

Xie Wendong shook his head, "Tried it for a while, but never got used to it, though I can use it for favors at work."

"Here."

"You don’t smoke?"

Xie Wendong asked, surprised.

Jiang Chen shook his head.

Xie Wendong didn’t hold back, took them, put two packs of cigarettes into his pocket, and then, looking at the Maotai placed on the table, smacked his lips.

"We’re all old classmates, how can the differences be so vast."

It isn’t jealousy, but the feeling of disparity is inevitable.

Ouyang Qing whispered, "You’ve studied hard for ten years, how can you compare with someone whose family has been in business for three generations?"

Wu Yufei couldn’t help but giggle, covering her mouth.

"Still, the Discipline Inspector is good at summarizing." Xie Wendong turned his head to look, greatly appreciative.

"Jiang Chen, what are you doing for work now?"

It was then that Ouyang Qing remembered to ask.

"I run my own company."

In front of his old classmates, Jiang Chen indeed doesn’t like to pretend. Riding a bike here was indeed just for convenience.

Start my own company.

His answer was quite honest, but it made several of his classmates nearby stupefied for a moment.

Including Wu Yufei.

"Are you starting your own business now?"

There was no mockery or ridicule, and after a moment of being stunned, Xie Wendong asked further.

It’s not too surprising for college students to start their own businesses.

"Yeah."

Jiang Chen nodded calmly.

"You’re pretty impressive too, being your own boss already."

Ouyang Qing praised, then showed concern: "How’s it going now?"

"It’s okay, I guess."

Jiang Chen wouldn’t put on airs in front of old classmates, but he still maintained his usual humility.

"Which area? How big is it now?"

Xie Wendong asked curiously.

Though Wu Yufei didn’t speak, she tilted her head and looked at Jiang Chen.

Having studied together for three years, if not knowing the whole story, they definitely knew some of it.

But there’s another saying.

Don’t underestimate the young for their poverty! After only three days, people can change, and even more so after not seeing each other for years.

Facing Xie Wendong’s question, Jiang Chen fell silent for a while, actually not knowing how to answer properly.

His current business activities were quite diverse; it was hard to accurately summarize in a few words.

"The business covers a variety of fields, I’m not too clear on the exact number of employees."

He was indeed seriously answering Xie Wendong’s question and being honest, but it came across differently to others.

Covering a variety of fields?

Not even clear on the number of employees?

Xie Wendong’s eyes widened, despite understanding Jiang Chen well, he couldn’t help but shut his mouth at this moment.

Ouyang Qing opened his mouth, tried to hold back, but ultimately couldn’t help himself, though he kept his voice low enough that others couldn’t hear.

"Jiang Chen, when did you start boasting like this?"

Indeed.

To anyone, Jiang Chen’s statements appeared far-fetched.

Just graduated for a year, even if you started a business, how much success could you have achieved?

Wu Yufei didn’t speak, but simply smirked with a hint of amusement, seemingly not reducing her impression of him due to his boastful words.

That’s why they say first impressions matter.

The beautiful memories of youth are indeed firm, not easily shaken or broken.

"I’m not boasting; my business is mainly managed by my friend."

Jiang Chen explained truthfully.

However, the more serious he was, the more his old classmates felt he was joking.

Xie Wendong patted his shoulder, "I believe you, your company’s in East Sea, right? If I have a chance to go to East Sea, I’ll definitely visit."

Although he said he believed him, his demeanor clearly showed he didn’t take Jiang Chen’s words to heart.

Ouyang Qing felt similarly, even if the other party was bragging, as an old Discipline Commission member, she didn’t attack her old classmate, but teased, "Jiang Chen, you need to work on your sense of humor."

Jiang Chen gave a wry smile.

Sometimes it’s strange like that.

Telling the truth, yet no one believes it.

He didn’t attempt to argue further.

"I believe, you’ll definitely succeed in the future."

The soft voice came from beside his ear.

Jiang Chen slightly turned his head.

Wu Yufei gazed at the warmly surrounded Chi Jin.

"Definitely not any less than him."

After saying that, Wu Yufei turned her head, mustered her courage to meet Jiang Chen’s gaze, her eyes still a bit shyly twinkling, yet firm and filled with encouragement.

Sometimes.

Perhaps people just lack that trust and affirmation power.

Jiang Chen, who was commented as lacking humor, gave a slight smile: "Just relying on my old classmate’s words, I will definitely try hard."

Old classmate.

Wu Yufei’s expression dimmed quietly, then quickly brightened again, pursing her lips in a smile.

"Keep it up."
