“Your enemy?”
Ye Tian looked back at the lady in black silk and then turned to face Chu Yifei.
“No, she’s a classmate from university, but…
we don’t get along very well.”
Chu Yifei muttered softly.
The black silk beauty approached Wang Hai’s table, just sitting down when she caught sight of Chu Yifei.
In an instant…
her lips curled into a smile, and after exchanging a few words with Wang Hai, she came over alone.
“Yifei, so you came to Jiangyi County after graduation too, what a coincidence.”
The smile on Gan Lu’s face, brimming with insincerity, did not convey any genuine feelings to Ye Tian.
“Yeah, I didn’t expect you to be here too.”
Chu Yifei responded, then the two stood and chatted, leaving Ye Tian sitting alone.
“Yifei, where are you working now?”
“Industrial and Commercial Bank, how about you?”
“The bank, that’s really nice.
I’m not as impressive as you; I’m interning at a private company, really envy you.”
“Not at all, the bank can be quite exhausting, I envy you too.”
…
The two women chatted for a while, catching up on each other’s situations.
In fact, both had just recently graduated and were doing alright for themselves, one working as a teller at a bank, the other as HR in a real estate company.
Suddenly, Gan Lu shifted her gaze to Ye Tian, who was quietly seated at the side.
“Yifei, is this your boyfriend?”
A hint of disdain and contempt flickered in Gan Lu’s eyes.
So what if Chu Yifei got better grades than me?
So what if she’s prettier than me?
The most important thing in a woman’s life is finding the right man.
The guy you’re with is nowhere near my Haihai in comparison!
“Yes, this is my boyfriend, Ye Tian.”
Chu Yifei gestured for Ye Tian, who immediately got the hint, stood up to greet Gan Lu, then sat down next to Chu Yifei.
“Ha, even our Chu University’s campus belle has a boyfriend now, if the guys at school knew, they would be heartbroken.”
“Yifei, it so happens that my boyfriend and I are dining here too, since we’ve met, let’s eat together!”
“Sure!”
Although Chu Yifei was very reluctant, she couldn’t refuse and so agreed.
Gan Lu immediately turned and beckoned to Wang Hai who was sitting there, then Wang Hai came over, and the four of them sat down.
Ye Tian sat next to Chu Yifei, while Gan Lu and Wang Hai, the man with gold-rimmed glasses, sat directly opposite them, Gan Lu clinging to Wang Hai’s wrist, displaying great intimacy.
“This is my boyfriend, Wang Hai, a high-level manager at Huiteng Group.”
Gan Lu introduced him to Chu Yifei, looking extremely proud, babbling nonstop about how good Wang Hai was to her!
How utterly devoted!
…
Having heard this, he couldn’t help but spit out the water in his mouth, which happened to spray all over Wang Hai’s face.
Ye Tian really wanted to tell Gan Lu that her boyfriend had just been hitting on another beauty while she was away, but after thinking it over, since she was Chu Yifei’s classmate, he held back!
Wang Hai, hearing Gan Lu’s words and looking somewhat embarrassed at Chu Yifei, was suddenly sprayed by Ye Tian, becoming extremely angry.
Gan Lu was even angrier than Wang Hai, glaring furiously at Ye Tian, she started to curse.
“Do you have any manners?!
Spitting water randomly, what poor quality.
Haihai’s outfit cost tens of thousands, can you, a poor loser, afford to compensate?”
Gan Lu looked at Ye Tian with a face of mockery and scorn, making no effort to hide it even in front of Chu Yifei’s boyfriend, it was as though she meant for Chu Yifei to hear.
Chu Yifei’s pretty face immediately turned stern.
“Oh, I can still afford to pay a few tens of thousands.”
Ye Tian replied very calmly.
Chu Yifei had previously seen Ye Tian’s account and knew that Ye Tian was not as simple as he appeared, and he could afford to compensate for clothes that cost tens of thousands.
“You can afford it?
You’re poor and still trying to punch above your weight, do you even look at yourself, how much money can a poor guy like you pretend to have?”
Gan Lu’s contempt was even more evident on her face.
Wang Hai, standing beside her, looked at Ye Tian with disdain upon hearing this, and then turned to Chu Yifei with a smile that was not quite a smile.
“Yifei, the most important thing for a woman in her life is to find a good man.
You have to keep your eyes open, don’t be fooled by scum.”
“Gan Lu…
you!”
Chu Yifei’s face darkened as she looked at the malicious and spiteful Gan Lu, so angry that she was at a loss for words.
At that moment, she regretted a bit, feeling she shouldn’t have agreed to Gan Lu, letting Ye Tian suffer such an indignity.
Chu Yifei’s beautiful eyes turned and looked at Ye Tian, filled with apology.
Ye Tian felt her gaze and also looked at Chu Yifei, showing a gentle smile, signaling to her that it was okay, he will handle it.
Seeing Ye Tian’s gentle smile, Chu Yifei felt warmth in her heart and calmed down.
Wang Hai, observing the affection between the two, was extremely uncomfortable!
Filled with jealousy, he stared at Ye Tian.
What right does a poor guy have to own such an outstanding beauty!
His gaze shifted, and a malicious decision suddenly formed in his heart.
He had just failed to hit on Chu Yifei, and he thought it was over, but he didn’t expect that Chu Yifei would turn out to be his girlfriend’s classmate, which was really embarrassing for him!
Now that he had the chance, he must mock and belittle Ye Tian to his heart’s content, making Ye Tian embarrassed would be truly satisfying for him.
If…
this beauty could leave Ye Tian and be with him instead, that would be even more thrilling!
So, Wang Hai looked at Ye Tian with a smile like a sly tiger.
“Young Brother Ye, I still don’t know, what do you do?”
“Me?
I worked at a bar for a while not long ago, just resigned recently, doing some small business.”
“Oh…
a boss, may I ask what kind of business you’re in?”
“It’s like a family heirloom health product.”
“Health products, eh?
What company and what products do you have?”
“The company has not been registered yet, and the products are not yet available to the wider market, mainly targeting some special groups.”
“Special groups…
Young Brother Ye, you’re not doing illegal business, are you?”
Wang Hai deliberately raised his voice, with an exaggerated expression, making the dining guests around them also hear his words, and suddenly, these people looked at Ye Tian with eyes filled with disdain and disgust.
Wang Hai looked at the pointing and gossiping gazes from people around towards Ye Tian with a sense of triumph, but he still put on an act of an elder brother, seemingly guiding Ye Tian back to the right path, to correct his ways.
“Young Brother Ye, we shouldn’t be doing illegal business or unscrupulous deeds!”
“If you’re truly struggling, big brother can help you out.
I’m a high-level manager in the marketing department of Huiteng Group.
When Monday comes, I’ll talk to human resources, and I can recruit you.”
Wang Hai spoke with increasing pride.
Seated beside him, Gan Lu was increasingly infatuated as she listened to his domineering words.
Even the customers around couldn’t help but take a few more glances at Wang Hai, the successful man.
Just at this moment, the door opened, and in came a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes.
Wang Hai caught sight of the man out of the corner of his eye.
His expression changed, and he quickly rose from his seat and walked obsequiously toward the middle-aged man at the entrance, showing a face full of flattery.
“President Zhao!”
The man was the chairman of Huiteng Group, Zhao Hui!
“You know me?
Who are you?”
Zhao Hui stood still, looking at Wang Hai with a calm expression.
As the chairman of Huiteng Group, the top brass, and although Wang Hai was a high-level manager, he was just a small employee within Huiteng Group, and there were several corporate layers between him and Zhao Hui, so naturally Zhao Hui would not know him.
Wang Hai was very excited, just as he was about to introduce himself, but then he saw Zhao Hui suddenly stride energetically with a beaming smile towards the table where he had been dining, warmly greeting the very ‘small fry’ he had just been mocking.
“Hey, Little Brother Ye, you’re here too, what a coincidence!”
Wang Hai’s mouth hung open, stunned, his mind went blank!
