Chapter 1236: 853 Second update!

After nearly half an hour, the dishes gradually cooled down, and those who had gone out trickled back in.

Right before entering the door, one bro even patted the security guard on the shoulder and earnestly reminded him, "Keep an eye on it, alright? If it gets lost, you guys can’t afford it."

As club staffers, they naturally greeted them with smiles, but once everyone had returned, the two security guards exchanged glances, their doubts about today’s food freshness intensifying.

"Jiang Chen, we’ve checked for you, your car is still there."

No doubt about it.

The protagonist has completely switched.

According to the law of conservation of energy, all the glory and attention that Chi Jin had received earlier was now shifted to Jiang Chen, and some female classmates couldn’t help but probe.

"Jiang Chen, are you dating anyone now?"

Tong Dan didn’t spoil the mood, just looked at that guy with a meaningful glance.

Luckily, the other’s character was passably half-hearted, not giving her a chance to call his bluff.

"Hmm."

Seeing Jiang Chen nod, a rush of disappointment involuntarily flashed in the eyes of some impulsive female classmates, but they quickly came to terms with it.

Right.

Someone who rides a bike worth millions, how could they lack a girlfriend?

Ouyang Qing didn’t react much, just turned her head a moment later to glance at Wu Yufei beside her.

They had forgotten to ask this question during their trip down memory lane earlier.

Wu Yufei’s reaction was perfectly normal, not showing any excessive emotional fluctuations.

Indeed.

It’s just an old classmate falling in love, no need to make a big deal of it.

"Listen to this question, as handsome as Jiang Chen is, how could he not have a girlfriend? If I were a girl, I would fancy him too."

Such an obvious flattery.

Not everyone can keep themselves so untouched by the dye vat of society.

"Jiang Chen, I’ve heard from Wendong that you’re here on a business trip? What kind of business are you in now?"

Look at this choice of words.

Business.

Before Jiang Chen could reply, Xie Wendong proudly said, "Jiang Chen is running his own company as the boss now."

When one person achieves enlightenment, even his pets ascend to heaven.

Now that his old deskmate is so formidable, naturally he basks in reflected glory.

Everyone is around the same age, almost all are fresh graduates, running a company as a boss?

If this had come from someone else’s mouth, it would surely be received with peals of laughter, but at this moment, no one harbored a shred of doubt.

"Jiang Chen, from the first moment I saw you today, I felt that you were different from the rest of us."

A creature sighed.

The guys beside him wore strange expressions, really not wanting to expose the truth. They remembered when Jiang Chen had arrived on his bike, this guy seemed to be the first one to laugh.

"Jiang Chen, what does your company do? Are you hiring?"

"You guys might be calling him wrong, you should be calling him General Jiang now."

A female compatriot corrected.

Jiang Chen responded with a graceful smile, but deep down, there was inevitably some regret.

No matter whether it was joking or teasing before, at least everyone was on equal footing, but what about now?

What difference was there from society at large?

When a reunion has developed to this point, it has lost its intended flavor.

"If we don’t eat now, the dishes will all be cold."

Wu Yufei, who had been acting very shy, spoke out of character. Perhaps she sensed Jiang Chen’s emotions.

"Right, today it’s a class reunion, what General Jiang or not, here we’re all old classmates, isn’t that right, Jiang Chen?"

Ouyang Qing spoke up as well.

Jiang Chen nodded with a smile, "What the old discipline inspector said is right."

Xie Wendong seemed to have a belated realization and quickly echoed, "Today is a class reunion, not a job fair, nor a matchmaking session."

He really doesn’t know how to speak.

Some female classmates couldn’t help but blush, their minds wandering into fantasy.

"Everyone, enjoy the food and drinks, don’t let Chi Jin’s kindness go to waste."

Xie Wendong continued.

He was clearly a grateful person; by saying such words, he was undoubtedly mindful of the effort Chi Jin had put into hosting this reunion.

His intentions were good.

But the appropriateness of words depends on the context.

Emphasizing it so much at this moment seemed less like a reminder to classmates not to forget who the real host today was, and more like a slap in Chi Jin’s face.

Xie Wendong was certainly not a person with ill intentions, but Chi Jin couldn’t help but feel as if his face was being slapped repeatedly.

Even though he was still smiling, only Gao Jianqiang, who knew him best and sat closest to him, knew that his patience was reaching its limit.

He had put in money, provided cigarettes and alcohol, and reached out through various channels to make this reunion happen. But in the end, it seemed that he was just helping others shine.

If it were someone in poor health, they might have been infuriated to the point of fainting.

Therefore, it was only human for Chi Jin’s jaw muscles to be tense, and completely understandable.

"Chi Jin, let’s have a drink,"

Tong Da Mei Nu was quite perceptive. Her job involved interacting with all sorts of people; how could she not notice the emotional fluctuations in Chi Jin? So, despite her previous aloofness towards Chi Jin, she now proactively raised her glass.

Chi Jin squeezed out a smile and drank with her, but it was obvious that Tong Dan’s kind gesture was not enough to dispel the imbalance in his heart.

Even with her Fiery Eyes, Tong Dan could only feel powerless.

Getting angry with that guy was simply asking for misery.

She couldn’t just bluntly tell him not to compare himself to that guy, could she? Because he simply couldn’t compare.

Although people like Ouyang Qing forcibly steered the reunion back on track, it was like a dish that had lost its original flavor; no matter how hard you tried, it was impossible to restore its initial taste.

Now, as Jiang Chen picked up food, no one dared to turn the lazy Susan—except, of course, Tong Dan, who treated everyone equally and with a strong sense of justice.

Perhaps many would enjoy that feeling.

But Jiang Chen was not one of them.

If he had wanted the old classmates’ "endorsement," he could have simply driven the Cullinan from his garage over; there was no need for such trouble.

Undoubtedly.

He had affected the mood of this old friends gathering.

After finishing that glass of wine, Jiang Chen put down his chopsticks.

"Excuse me, my dear classmates, I have something else to attend to and need to leave early."

Tong Dan continued to eat as if she heard nothing.

To this day, she also understood a bit about this guy’s character.

So presumptuous.

Does he think that by leaving, everyone else can return to normal?

"Jiang Chen..."

Xie Wendong, who had exchanged contact information with him, looked up.

Jiang Chen patted his shoulder, "We’ll be in touch."

Before leaving, he didn’t forget to say to Chi Jin: "Thanks."

Chi Jin managed a smile, "Let me see you out."

"No need. Look after everyone else. I know my way around,"

With a smile to his "reluctant" old classmates, Jiang Chen pushed the door open and left on his own.

Even though only he had left, the private room seemed to become noticeably colder in an instant.

"What’s the matter? Can’t you continue eating without him?"

Tong Dan joked.

Everyone laughed awkwardly, finally shifting their gazes away from the door.

"If there is another reunion, Jiang Chen probably won’t come,"

Ouyang Qing murmured softly, caught up in emotion.

"He’s already not in the same world as us,"

Wu Yufei mumbled, her eyes lifeless.

"Don’t say that, Jiang just exchanged contact information with me. He probably felt that he was disrupting everyone."
