Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Looking Down Upon Others with Dog’s Eyes

The private room was clearly specially decorated, with romantic lighting.

All this flattery was very satisfying to Wang Shiwen, who waved his hands and said, "Alright, alright, what are you talking about? Can’t you see that Qianqian is embarrassed? Shut up, all of you!"

Only then did everyone cleverly close their mouths.

Wang Shiwen looked at Yang Qianqian with a hehe smile and said, "Qianqian, don’t mind them, these guys just talk nonsense, don’t take it to heart."

"Right, although we’ve all arrived this time, haven’t you noticed? Someone is missing."

"You mean Chen Dashan? Hahaha, you must be confused, how could Chen Dashan possibly come back? Besides, even if you invited him, would he come? After what happened, he’s lost all his face!"

Yang Qianqian became unhappy, "What are you talking about? Every year at the reunion, you all make fun of Dashan. No matter what, he’s still our classmate. It’s not appropriate to make jokes about others."

The others closed their mouths.

Wang Shiwen’s brow furrowed, and Li Wei noticed Wang Shiwen was displeased. She was counting on Wang Shiwen for a living. "Qianqian, come on, don’t be angry, they didn’t mean it. Come on, let’s eat, this meal was specially prepared by Mr. Wang just for you, we’re all basking in your light!"

Finishing, she gave Wang Shiwen a special look, who was very pleased, and the atmosphere was also crafted just right. Wang Shiwen took over the conversation, "Qianqian, you know how I feel. I liked you since high school, and for all four years of university, I was always watching out for you. You must be clear about my feelings. Now that you’ve returned, you can pick any position in my company. Just be with me." Wang Shiwen gazed at her earnestly.

"I’m sorry, Mr. Wang. I’ve always regarded you as a classmate; I have no other feelings toward you," Yang Qianqian outright refused.

Wang Shiwen’s brows furrowed tightly. He knew about her liking for Chen Dashan.

Just as Wang Shiwen was about to say something, the door was suddenly pushed open, and Chen Dashan walked in.

Looking at everyone, Chen Dashan smiled and said, "Long time no see, my old classmates. I could have come earlier, but I got held up by some things."

Yang Qianqian quickly went up to greet him and sat down beside Chen Dashan.

Wang Shiwen, having no outlet for his frustration, snorted coldly, "If you were held up by something, there was no need to come at all, acting as if you’re so busy!"

"Hehe, I’m saying, Dashan, if you haven’t finished hoeing the weeds in the field, just stay home and hoe properly, no need to run over here."

"Yeah, why rush over here? Later, there won’t even be any buses back to the county."

Wang Shiwen’s lackeys naturally knew about the hostility between Wang Shiwen and Chen Dashan, and they all chimed in.

Chen Dashan frowned; today’s reunion wasn’t so simple, after all.

"What are you talking about? Dashan is our classmate and was also our class monitor for Chinese back in school. What kind of way is that to talk!" Wang Shiwen scolded a few of them.

After finishing, he raised his glass with a smile towards Chen Dashan, "Dashan, don’t mind them, these guys just don’t know when to stop, don’t take it personally."

He was playing the good cop here.

Chen Dashan picked up his glass and hmm’ed in agreement.

"But I have to say, Dashan, I remember your family had quite a bit of land, right? During school, you’d often take leave to help out with farming, you had a fair amount of land, didn’t you?" Wang Shiwen feigned concern.

Chen Dashan nodded, "It’s alright, just a few dozen acres, not much."

"A few dozen acres of land, in ancient times, you’d be considered a small landlord. But looking at your clothes, they’re not cheap. If we calculate a thousand per acre, these two acres alone are worth it. Dashan, I’m not trying to lecture you, but we should know our limits and not pretend to be something we’re not. I wear clothes that cost ten or so thousand, but what about you? Why dress so fancy for?" Wang Shiwen looked down from his pedestal.

Chen Dashan laughed helplessly, "Understood, it’s not easy to have a class reunion, so I thought I should dress up a bit."

"That’s right, you see us as friends."

Wang Shiwen gave a sly look to a few people, who understood immediately.

"Hey, if you ask me, among us, Mr. Wang is the one with real clout. He employs dozens of top university graduates. What’s the use of studying well if, in the end, you’re working for Mr. Wang anyway?"

"Exactly, not to mention anything else, just look at us, the flunkies of our school. Working with Mr. Wang, we earn tens of thousands a month. Those with top credentials? They get what, seven thousand a month? What’s that worth!"

The implications of their words were clearly directed at Chen Dashan.

"What kind of person wears what kind of clothes. Remember Li Yu from the class next door? He married the class belle, Wang Li, after high school. With no ability, it took less than three years for her to run off with someone rich. Tell me, without ability, which woman would want to live a tough life with you?"

"That’s right, a man’s got to have money! I have a buddy who had a college girlfriend, but she ended up with his wealthy best friend. Imagine that mess!"

Chen Dashan’s expression grew darker and darker.

"Enough already, what are you talking about? Dashan hardly ever gets to attend a reunion and you talk all this nonsense. Let’s drink. But speaking of that, you do need ability. Right, Dashan?" Wang Shiwen said confidently, looking at Chen Dashan with a glass in his hand.

Chen Dashan smiled and didn’t even bother to raise his glass.

Yang Qianqian couldn’t bear it any longer, "What are you all saying? Is it necessary to go on like this? Dashan is different now from before, okay? He has his own business, and I’m about to go work for him!"

Everyone was stunned, then burst into laughter!

"Qianqian, are you feverish? Him, a business? Let me tell you, Qianqian, some guys will do anything to woo a girl, blowing any kind of nonsense. Don’t be fooled by him, I’m telling you!"

Wang Shiwen laughed even harder, "Hahaha, a business, right. I know exactly what he’s like. Qianqian, you’re too kind, just don’t get sold out by someone. Him, a business? What, because he’s raised a few cows and pigs at home, he dares call it a farm? What a joke!"

"Mr. Wang is the real businessman here, okay? You know this hotel, right? It belongs to the Qi Family. What’s the Qi Family? They’re top dogs in the whole Hengshui City, and Mr. Wang has partnerships with them. Without him, how could you come to this top-tier private room! Ridiculous!"

Wang Shiwen straightened his clothes, full of arrogance.

Suddenly, someone pushed the door open and walked in.

"Excuse me, gentlemen, our boss has mentioned that there is a distinguished guest here today, all expenses are on the house!" The manager, dressed in a suit, came in and announced.
