Luo Chen. The voice came from behind.
Luo Chen turned his head with some confusion.
Luo Chen from Yongji County. The other party spoke again to confirm.
Luo Chen nodded and began to recall who the other person was.
A bit familiar but should not be too close.
It was a rather handsome man about one metre eighty tall dressed very neatly and tidily with a woman around forty years old on his arm.
It has only been a few years and you do not recognise me. It is me Li Chao. Li Chao reminded him.
Luo Chen suddenly realised this was his high school classmate. However Luo Chen had actually studied high school near Xiangxi and most high school classmates were also in Xiangxi. How was this Li Chao in Haidong.
Moreover because Luo Chen had been quite a shut in during high school with poor grades he had no real friends in class and his relationships with everyone were just average.
After graduation when he entered university he had hardly kept in touch with any high school classmates.
This is. Luo Chen had originally wanted to say is this your mother.
But Luo Chen still hesitated.
This is my girlfriend. Li Chao had not expected to run into Luo Chen either.
Luo Chen was slightly stunned while the woman gave Luo Chen a white eyed glance.
What are you here for. Li Chao asked.
I am here for a meal. Luo Chen nodded.
A meal. Li Chao was slightly stunned and glanced at Luo Chen. Although he said nothing on the surface his heart could not help but sneer coldly.
Those who could eat here were all high officials and nobles. The university Luo Chen had gotten into back then was not one that produced high officials and nobles. It was barely enough even for civil service.
Luo Chen of course noticed that trace of disdain in Li Chao’s eyes but he did not bother too much about it. After all they were not on the same level.
And you. Luo Chen asked casually.
I am also here for a meal. Li Chao smiled. In reality he was not here to eat. He was here for work.
He was a waiter in this restaurant but relying on his handsome appearance he had successfully hooked up with a wealthy lady here and was basically being kept.
But he had not quit this job either.
Because he could get to know many high officials and nobles here how could he possibly give up this place.
Are you really here for a meal. Li Chao asked again.
Because he did not believe Luo Chen could eat here.
As a waiter would he not know the people qualified to eat here.
If Luo Chen had that qualification he would have met him long ago.
Really. Luo Chen was slightly surprised.
Fine. Li Chao did not say much more but his gaze towards Luo Chen became even more disdainful.
Why do you insist on pretending in front of me for no reason.
If you get exposed later let us see if you blush or not.
How have you been lately. Li Chao changed the topic.
Not bad I suppose. Luo Chen nodded slightly.
The class monitor has been trying to call you. She is about to get married and is sending out wedding invitations everywhere. Li Chao smiled.
Shall I add your WeChat and pull you into the group. Li Chao asked.
Luo Chen thought for a moment and agreed. He did not pay it much mind. He could not look down on his old classmates just because he was doing better now.
After adding WeChat and pulling Luo Chen into the group the awkward part was that no one in the group made a sound and no one welcomed him.
Luo Chen did not mind either. After all many had not been in touch for a long time and he had things to do right now.
How about we chat later. I will go in first. Luo Chen said.
Sure. If you have any difficulties in Haidong later you can come find me. I am doing quite well in Haidong. Li Chao said. Of course this was just polite talk. If something really happened Li Chao definitely would not help.
Moreover although the words were enthusiastic his attitude towards Luo Chen was extremely cold.
After Luo Chen left the wealthy lady beside him asked.
Is he going to eat.
But Li Chao gave a cold laugh shook his head and said.
Look at him. Does he look like someone who can eat here.
He was a shut in back in high school with poor grades and got into a third rate university. What kind of place is this.
Can he come here. Li Chao shook his head again.
Then why is he still going in.
Pretending of course. After all he ran into an old classmate. For the sake of face he has to pretend. It will be fun when he gets kicked out later. Li Chao said disdainfully.
There were plenty of such comparisons between classmates.
That was why he looked down on Luo Chen even more. If Luo Chen had told him the truth he might have chatted a few more words with him.
But since Luo Chen insisted on pretending in front of him he could not be bothered to deal with him.
Why insist on pretending in front of me for no reason.
Humph. Let me see what you do when you get exposed later.
I hate these people the most. No ability no skills yet still pretending. The wealthy lady also said disdainfully.
Who says otherwise. Li Chao smiled then went in as well.
When he arrived at the Tianzi private room Luo Chen pushed open the door and Wang Weiguo immediately stood up.
Mr Luo please sit please sit. Wang Weiguo smiled.
Sorry my identity is rather sensitive so I failed to welcome you from afar. Wang Weiguo apologised.
After all with his status if he got too close to Luo Chen it would inevitably give people with ulterior motives something to talk about.
However he had no choice but to invite Luo Chen for this meal because he had something to ask of Luo Chen.
Luo Chen sat down and Wang Weiguo pressed the service button.
First have some tea. Wang Weiguo stood up and poured a cup of tea for Luo Chen.
On the other side in the high school classmates class group the group admin privately sent a message to Li Chao.
The one you pulled in is our classmate.
Yes it is Luo Chen. Have you forgotten.
Why pull him in.
Is not the class monitor getting married. She needs gift money. You guys can also make him pay a share of the gift money then find an opportunity to kick him out. Li Chao sent the message while smiling.
Let me tell you this guy was just pretending in front of me saying he came to my restaurant for a meal. You know it right. Can ordinary people come to my restaurant. Li Chao sent another message.
He used to seem quite honest. How did he become like this now.
Hehe. When he gets kicked out later let us see if he still has the face to see me. Li Chao sent an emoji covering mouth and laughing secretly.
Just then one of Li Chao’s colleagues arrived.
What are you chatting about. Look how happy you are.
Ran into a classmate who insisted on pretending in front of me. Li Chao snorted coldly.
Sigh these kinds of things are happening more and more these days. The colleague also looked disdainful.
Never mind. A guest in the Tianzi room called for a waiter. I will go over first. You help me watch the other tables.
Who is in the Tianzi room. Li Chao asked.
The number one boss. The colleague said with a wink. Give me the chance. I will go I will go. Li Chao said and ran over first.
