Chapter 580 - 580 580 Shen Peini Persuading Ling Weiwei to Stay

580: Chapter 580: Shen Peini Persuading Ling Weiwei to Stay 580: Chapter 580: Shen Peini Persuading Ling Weiwei to Stay Lin Fei realized, feeling quite touched by Li Lu’s painstaking efforts.

“Sorry everyone, I’m late.

The road was too jammed!” Suddenly, a spirited voice sounded, accompanied by the sound of the door being pushed open.

A young man in a suit and leather shoes, wearing a designer watch, entered the room followed by another man who appeared to be an assistant.

The chubby guy saw him and complained discontentedly, “It’s him.

I really didn’t want to come to this damn reunion.”

Lin Fei put down the cup in his hand and looked at Xu Ming, unable to remember who he was, “Who is he?”

The chubby guy didn’t expect Lin Fei to have forgotten Xu Ming and reminded him, “That’s Xu Ming, the rich second generation who competed with you for Bai Ya and whom you beat up on the sports field.

Remember now?”

“Oh, I remember now.

It’s him.

What about him?”

“He hasn’t changed much, I just don’t like him.

He’s too pretentious, acting all high and mighty just because his family has some money, treating people like dirt,” grumbled the chubby guy, who had endured a lot of mocking and bullying from Xu Ming since high school and felt no camaraderie towards him.

“See that guy behind him?” the chubby one pointed at the man following Xu Ming.

Lin Fei saw him and nodded.

“He was also bullied by Xu Ming back in high school, but recently, since Xu Ming bribed him into working at his dad’s company, he’s become Xu Ming’s lackey.

Damn, it’s disgusting.”

Lin Fei didn’t care much about Xu Ming—not in high school and even less so now.

“This doesn’t concern us at all.

Let him show off if he wants to.

We’ll do our own thing, live our own lives.”

“Hey, you’re right.

You know, Lin Fei, I’ve always liked your carefree attitude.”

They each lit a cigarette and started chatting about the past, memories rising clearly before them once again.

Meanwhile, Xu Ming was greeting everyone at the gathering, and when he came to Lin Fei, he seemed surprised but then stretched his Rolex-adorned hand, smiling slyly, “Isn’t this Lin Fei?

Long time no see!

Didn’t expect to meet you here.

Where have you been all these years, what are you doing now?”

After a series of questions, Xu Ming scrutinized Lin Fei with a playful look.

Lin Fei stood up, facing Xu Ming eye to eye.

The chubby guy tugged at Lin Fei’s clothes, signaling him to ignore Xu Ming.

Lin Fei didn’t follow that advice; he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Xu Ming, “I was abroad for the past few years, just returned this year.

Happened to have time, so I came to the reunion.

I’m currently working right here at the Hyatt International Hotel.”

“Oh?

Doing what?”

“Security manager.”

The chubby guy, expecting Lin Fei to announce a high-flying career like a general manager, was taken aback that it was just a security job, thinking Lin Fei would definitely be ridiculed by Xu Ming now.

Most of the onlookers also thought, given Lin Fei’s history with Xu Ming and his bold demeanor now, he must be doing well, but they couldn’t help but laugh when they heard Lin Fei mention his position as a security manager.

“Security, manager?” Xu Ming curiously repeated, and seeing Lin Fei nod, he disdainfully said, “Pfft, isn’t that just a fancy way of saying security guard?”

Lin Fei nonchalantly shrugged, “Yeah, you could say that.”

Xu Ming, no longer bothering to feign politeness, scoffed, “I thought you would have achieved something great after all these years, but turns out—it’s pretty pathetic!”

Lin Fei was unfazed and was about to sit down, but the chubby guy couldn’t hold back.

He stood up and shouted at Xu Ming, “Xu Ming, watch your language!”

Xu Ming, who now deeply despised even Lin Fei, whom he once feared, naturally didn’t take the chubby guy seriously.

“Hit a nerve, did I?

Losers will always be losers, always sticking together.”

“You…”

Furious, the chubby guy was about to strike, but Lin Fei held him back.

Xu Ming, disdainfully glancing at him, lazily walked towards the card-playing table.

Sitting back down, the chubby guy, unable to contain his anger, grabbed the water cup in front of him and gulped down the water, grumbling, “I told you not to bother with him.

Look at that attitude, he’s almost flying high.”

“The more you get angry, the more he enjoys it.

Trust me, let it go.”

The chubby guy was puzzled by Lin Fei’s attitude, “Weird, I distinctly remember that incident at school.

It was because Xu Ming insulted you a couple of times that you dragged him to the sports field and beat him up.

How come you’re so tolerant now?”

“People change, what’s so strange about that?”

Lin Fei was indifferent.

Actually, if it had been in the past, he might have indeed used his fists to teach Xu Ming how to speak properly.

But now, Lin Fei felt it was completely unnecessary and even found Xu Ming’s behavior earlier somewhat amusing, like that of a ridiculous clown.
