Chapter 376: Chapter 376: It’s Not Clear Yet Who is Stuck in the Trap

"Hello, everyone!"

Lin Fan pushed open the driver’s side door.

He stepped towards the rear of the car.

It wasn’t until this moment that the class representative and the others snapped back to reality.

Upon seeing Lin Fan, dressed in a crisp suit, standing there,

all the women were momentarily stunned.

Today, Lin Fan was exceptionally handsome.

Even more so than the designer suit worth several hundred thousand.

His deep, captivating eyes were even more alluring.

Added to that was his rich, magnetic voice.

It made the hearts of these female classmates beat faster involuntarily.

Such a tasteful man was truly rare.

After all, clothes can be bought and bodies can be trained.

But a voice and a charisma that radiates from within are not things ordinary people can possess.

Felt their hearts race just by being glanced at by him.

It can’t be denied that this couple, standing there,

were truly a match made in heaven.

"This is my husband, Lin Fan,"

Noticing the different look in her old classmates’ eyes,

Ning Mengyao felt a sense of pride.

She took Lin Fan’s arm and introduced him with ease.

"Dear, this is our high school class president Xia Meimei, and this is my deskmate Li Wanting..."

"Hello, everyone, it’s very nice to meet you."

Lin Fan nodded slightly.

Still carrying that aloof, reserved demeanor.

After all, his handsome appearance and status right now

weren’t something these women could aspire to.

"Wow, who would have thought Meng Yao’s husband would be so dashing! He clearly looks like a big boss."

"They are truly a perfect match, made for each other."

A few female classmates naturally didn’t forget to flatter.

After all, being the president of Ning Group,

they could guess that Lin Fan was exceptionally wealthy.

"You all chat; I’m going to see if everyone has arrived,"

The presence of Lin Fan made Xia Meimei somewhat fearful.

After all, attempting to drug someone’s wife in front of her husband

was a consequence she couldn’t afford.

Thus, she found an excuse and hurried off, walking quickly toward the inside.

Meanwhile, Chu Tianyang sat in the private room, basking in the adoration of several male classmates.

After all, dining at a place like Tianxiang Pavilion

wasn’t something ordinary salaried workers could afford.

Adding to it, he engaged animatedly in discussions about upcoming investments and business dealings,

mentioning names of prominent figures from the provincial city,

which solidified their resolve to cling to this powerful ally.

"Tianyang, there’s trouble."

Xia Meimei rushed in, panicked, walking quickly up to Chu Tianyang.

"Big class president, where did your calm composure go? What has happened that has you so flustered?"

Chu Tianyang leaned back with his legs crossed, a look of disdain on his face.

"Ning Mengyao has brought her husband over. How are we going to handle this?"

Xia Meimei asked anxiously, leaning in to whisper in his ear.

This could complicate their previous plan.

"What is he doing here!"

On hearing this, Chu Tianyang furrowed his brow.

If this kid showed up, wouldn’t it mess up his own plans?

However, his eyes darted around and an idea popped into his mind.

He looked at the few male classmates surrounding him with a smile on his face.

"Fellas, let me be honest with you, I came back to Jiangning this time specifically to collaborate with Ning Mengyao on a few small projects, just about ten billion or so. You must know, back when we were at school, we almost ended up together, didn’t we? Now with this going on, I can feel that she’s expecting it, but unfortunately, because I hurt her so deeply, she just married some random assistant. Now that guy, playing the role of husband, is sabotaging our collaboration. It seems like this project might fall through."

As Chu Tianyang spoke, his sincerity was palpable.

The people around him didn’t dare to doubt him.

"Mr. Chu, you’ve come back to contribute to our hometown’s development. How could we let a little jealousy break that up?"

"Exactly, once you come back, Ning Mengyao will definitely reconsider. As long as the collaboration is successful, you two getting back together is only a matter of time."

"We always say Mr. Chu is a charming and handsome man, perfectly matched with Mengyao. It’s a pity you missed the chance, but it’s all not too late, right?"

"Right, shouldn’t we make that guy understand that he should graciously step aside?"

They didn’t care about breaking up lovers.

After all, if such a big project were to materialize.

They would definitely have a chance to get a cut.

So naturally, they would speak in favor of Chu Tianyang.

The group was fervently agitated, almost as if poised for a battle.

"I appreciate your kindness, fellas, but after all, they are legally married. If we resort to underhand methods and it leads to gossip later, wouldn’t that invite criticism? I’ve always been known to be upright and straightforward. This gathering is also just to have a private talk with Meng Yao about the past and the future."

Chu Tianyang lowered his voice and said to the few men, "How about this—watch for my cue later. We’ll get him too drunk and send him off early. That way, Meng Yao and I will have a chance to have a good chat. Of course, I wouldn’t have you help for nothing. Once we succeed and the project materializes, you’ll all have positions in my company. I can’t guarantee a huge salary, but an extra ten or twenty thousand a month is easy. And if anyone can land some subcontracting projects, making a hundred thousand or more a year is just a matter of minutes."

Indeed, his years in the provincial city weren’t spent in vain.

He knew that when making promises, one must not overpromise or people wouldn’t believe him.

Nor could he promise too little, or people wouldn’t be motivated.

His approach was to dangle a neither-too-large-nor-too-small carrot before them, always letting them see more opportunities.

That’s how he precisely hooked each one.

"This small matter, I can handle it myself. I’ll drink him under the table till he vomits out his stomach lining!"

"In my life I may have achieved nothing, but when it comes to drinking, I’ve never been defeated."

"Tonight, I’ll drown him in alcohol!"

This idea received everyone’s support instantly.

They rolled up their sleeves, ready to dive into the fray.

Meanwhile, the door to the private room had already been pushed open.

The handsome Lin Fan, arm in arm with the stunning Ning Mengyao, appeared.

This immediately sparked a flurry of discussions among everyone.

This couple, so perfectly matched, seemed destined by heaven.

Everyone envied them,

even if they didn’t speak up out of fear of offending Chu Tianyang.

But in their hearts, they truly admired them.

As for Lin Fan, he merely smiled as he locked eyes with Chu Tianyang.

Clearly, that night, both had their own designs.

Chu Tianyang’s smile was tinged with greed.

Tonight, he had to win the beauty over.

As long as he turned the raw rice into cooked rice, obtaining solid evidence,

Ning Mengyao would have to comply with his demands in the future.

Lin Fan, too, kept a smile trained on Chu Tianyang.

He naturally knew this guy was up to no good.

However, he was also keen to use this opportunity to test the strength of that mysterious man.

He was truly curious to see what it would be like to be taken down by such a sorcerer.

So tonight, who was truly setting the trap, and who was the prey, remained to be seen.

Thus began a class reunion filled with conspiracies and cunning.

And so, the curtain was raised.
