Chapter 39 - Shock

Xiang Yang's statement that her company was close to collapse hit Lin Qingfang's current situation. Her foreign trade company was not big, if it was not because of relations.h.i.+ps, she would not have become the general manager, and due to her recent decision mistakes, the company had to compensate tens of millions of dollars in price and find a bank to lend. However, because the company still owed money to the bank and had not yet been repaid, the bank had not approved for loaning more money, her boss was worried that there was nowhere to get the money, if they do not get money in a short period of time, the company would really close down.

She just wanted to see if there was anyone amongst these old cla.s.smates of hers who was willing to help her borrow money at the bank. It was said that Lawyer Zhong was doing pretty well in the Tianhai, with both black and white being eaten together, so she thought of a way to suppress Xiang Yang, preparing to give him a breather, first to make him happy, then to discuss the matter of asking him to help. Her thoughts were good, but what she did not expect was that meeting this mysterious and eccentric Xiang Yang would cause his plans to go down the drain.

Of course, the current Lin Qingfang was only incomparably furious and shocked to the core. How did Xiang Yang know about her situation? Could it be that Xiang Yang had specially investigated her before this?

That was obviously impossible. However, how could this b.a.s.t.a.r.d know about his situation?

Lin Qingfang looked at Xiang Yang angrily, her eyes seemed like it was going to spew fire, her heart was trembling slightly, she was a person with good face, how could she endure Xiang Yang talking about her current situation in front of so many students?

”I don't believe that you're the general manager of a foreign trade company. A general manager of a foreign trade company wouldn't have such shallow knowledge.” Facing the incomparably furious Lin Qingfang, Xiang Yang continued to speak with a faint smile.

”You said that I'm inexperienced? You b.a.s.t.a.r.d!” Lin Qingfang stared at Xiang Yang in anger; she almost could not resist and wanted to fight with Xiang Yang.

”Mr Xiang, isn't that a bit too much? We're all cla.s.smates, why did we have to go through all this trouble?” Cla.s.s monitor Zhang Lin frowned as he looked at Xiang Yang with dissatisfaction, while the others also revealed displeasure on their faces.

Although they did not like Lin Qingfang's words, they were, after all, old cla.s.smates of theirs, and compared to the others, Xiang Yang was merely brought here by Lu Xinran. No one liked Xiang Yang, so they could not help him.

”I have basis for what I said.” Xiang Yang glanced at him and said.

”Oh, we'd like to hear what basis you have.” Cla.s.s monitor Zhang Lin snorted coldly. Xiang Yang's confident look made him feel uncomfortable.

Xiang Yang picked up a bottle of wine in front of his and said indifferently, ”This is the rising star produced in Australia, it is a low grade wine, in foreign countries, the price is about 150 euros, even in China, it is only worth one or two thousand. In foreign countries, this is the tras.h.i.+est of wine, but she thinks it is the top, heh heh, this is bullying me because I am just a normal high school teacher.”

”Just make it up; let's see who will believe you.” Lin Qingfang said with a cold smile.

Xiang Yang laughed faintly, looking at Lawyer Zhong and the others, ”You don't understand, but they do. Am I right?”

”Yes, he's right.” Lawyer Zhong said in a deep voice, and looked at Xiang Yang with a strange gaze. The 'Morning Star' brand of wine was not very famous in the country, and very few people knew it, but the taste was good, because it was imported, and the price was suitable. They had chosen this as their wine for the gathering.

”So what if it is? No matter what, it's still over a thousand bottles of wine. I'm afraid you won't be able to buy more than one bottle a month with your monthly salary.” Lin Qingfang said with a cold smile.

Once she said those words, everyone looked unhappy. Although what she said was the truth, they were gathered at a cla.s.s reunion and not here to compete with each other for their financial resources. Now that she made a ruckus, the whole reunion lost its original meaning.

After all, in their eyes, Lin Qingfang was one of their own, while Xiang Yang was just Lu Xinran's boyfriend. He was an outsider, so they had no reason to help an outsider deal with one of their own.

”Sorry for disturbing you. This is the last dish. Please enjoy.”

At this moment, a waiter came in with a dish, easing the awkward atmosphere.

”We didn't order this dish. Did you send it the wrong way?” The cla.s.s monitor, Zhang Lin, who was in charge of ordering the dishes called the waiter.

”That's right; this dish was specially gifted to you all by our manager when he saw that Lawyer Zhong was here.” The waiter smiled.

”Wa, Old Zhong, Old Zhong, you're so awesome! Even the manager of Imperial Palace had to send you a dish when he saw you!”

”I finally got to see the power of a lawyer.”

”…”

The group of people flattered Lawyer Zhong one after another. Although the latter had a modest smile on his face, the corners of his eyes still showed that he was proud. He shot a glance at Xiang Yang, and felt a sense of superiority in his heart, but wisely chose to keep his mouth shut.

The more Lawyer Zhong acted this way, the more everyone felt that he was hiding his powers. In reality, he was a huge character, and in that moment, everyone was looking at Lawyer Zhong with astonished and shocked.

”Xinran, look at Lawyer Zhong. Not only is he handsome, he is also successful in his career, even the manager of Imperial Palace wanted people to serve him dishes. With such an ident.i.ty, he is considered one of the best in the entire Tianhai City; this is what you call an ideal boyfriend.” Lin Qingfang took the opportunity to tell Lu Xinran.

”Since you think he's so good, since you're not married, you can chase after him.” Lu Xinran laughed coldly, and finally could not resist and began to counterattack.

”I know what I look like, I'm not worthy of him, and only you, School Beauty Lu, are worthy enough for Lawyer Zhong! Similarly, only Lawyer Zhong is worthy enough for you, you should pay attention when looking for a man; you shouldn't be so easily fooled by someone's flowery words.” As Lin Qingfang said this, she glanced at Xiang Yang with thick disdain in her eyes.

The meaning of her words was naturally to say that Xiang Yang had used flowery words to deceive Lu Xinran. Everyone looked at Xiang Yang with a strange expression after hearing it.

Of course, compared to the people present, it was extremely obvious that the difference between Xiang Yang and Lawyer Zhong was extremely obvious. They felt the same way and even felt that Lu Xinran had a boyfriend, Xiang Yang, that she had been wronged.

Xiang Yang sighed helplessly, the words 'wherever there are people, there will be rivers and lakes, and whenever there are rivers and lakes, there will be fights' was too accurate. He had merely accompanying Girl Lu to a reunion and was attacked by others for no reason.

Lin Qingfang continued, ”Aiya, let me tell you this, as a student, I feel that it's not worth it. You are a dignified Princ.i.p.al, yet you started a relations.h.i.+p with a teacher of your subordinate.

”Enough…”

Seeing that Lin Qingfang is getting more and more outrageous, Lu Xinran coldly snorted, ”I am not here to attend the gathering today to let you all attack my male companion for no reason, don't think I don't know what you mean. If you continue to cause trouble for no reason, don't blame me for not thinking about the feelings of you being cla.s.smates.”

”You … You actually want to fall out with an old cla.s.smate like me for a poor teacher?” Lin Qingfang's face was filled with disbelief.

”You can't say that we have a falling out. You and I don't have any relations.h.i.+p in the first place.”

Lu Xinran's heart was filled with anger. From the moment she appeared until now, she was the one who had invited Xiang Yang over, but didn't expect him to be attacked for no reason.

Her eyes were ice-cold as she looked at Lin Qingfang, and said: ”What right do you have to look down on Xiang Yang's ident.i.ty as a high school teacher? Teaching and educating people are the most sacred thing; as for you, everything you know, all of your accomplishments today, which one of them wasn't taught by your teacher?”

Not to mention that she was a Princ.i.p.al herself, even if she was an ordinary person, she would never allow Xiang Yang, who was a high school teacher, to be insulted.
