"Wow, that impressive?" Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

At this moment, a discordant voice came, "Actually, the Amex black cards issued by these three domestic banks are fundamentally different from those issued overseas."

People turned towards the source of the voice, and it was Lin Chuan. Lin Chuan, with one hand tucked in his pocket and the other holding a glass of red wine, looked quite dashing. Yang Zi blinked her eyes while Zhou Rui beside Lin Chuan responded irritably, "What do you know? Don't talk nonsense if you don't know."

"Exactly, how would someone who can barely afford meals understand this?" Old Li disdainfully said.

"A driver, trying to act cool like Mr. Liu here," others laughed along.

"First of all, the Centurion Black Card issued by Citibank has no spending limit." Lin Chuan shrugged and smiled, "Mr. Liu, do you know the limit of your black card?"

Liu Shaoqi's face darkened, and he remained silent.

At this moment, a female classmate working at the bank laughed, "True, I just checked the card number, if I'm not mistaken, this card's limit should be around five million to ten million. However, the identity and status this card represents, along with the exclusive treatments and privileges it offers worldwide, are something no other card can provide."

"That's true." Lin Chuan nodded and smiled, "The Centurion Black Metal Card issued overseas is made of titanium alloy; only the Centurion Black Metal Card issued by China Minsheng Bank domestically uses titanium alloy, while those issued by China Industrial and Commercial Bank and China Merchants Bank are made of PVC plastic. Mr. Liu, these two plastic cards of yours look quite cheap. But the most important thing is..."

"What is it?" the female classmate asked, pushing up her black-framed glasses.

"China Industrial and Commercial Bank requires a daily deposit of over one billion yuan for issuing black cards, and so does Minsheng Bank," Lin Chuan's mouth slightly tilted up as he smiled, "Only China Merchants Bank has the lowest requirements and standards, and it also issues the most black cards. The requirement is just a daily deposit of mere twenty million. Plus, the black card from China Merchants Bank isn't very useful in the true elite circles overseas."

"Lin Chuan, that's enough from you!" Liu Jianjun glanced at Lin Chuan and said, "Although Mr. Liu is using a black card from China Merchants Bank, what about you? You have nothing."

"Exactly, take a look at yourself first."

"Showing off with no money."

A group of people ganged up on Lin Chuan, while showing partiality to Liu Shaoqi.

Liu Shaoqi wanted to show off but ended up being disrupted by Lin Chuan, a bastard, and even suffered a severe humiliation. His mood almost plunged to rock bottom. Yang Zi comforted by saying, "Shaoqi, don't be sad, what Lin Chuan said was unintentional. At least we've learned a lot because of him."

Liu Shaoqi was even more annoyed.

But in order to maintain his good image, he could only force a smile, "Okay then."

"If you ask me, just kick Lin Chuan out," a male classmate loudly suggested at that moment. The suggestion was clearly to please Liu Shaoqi.

"Forget it," Liu Shaoqi waved his hand, saying, "This isn't a hotel owned by me, Liu, what right do I have to kick anyone out?"

"Mr. Liu is truly magnanimous," the crowd cheered.

Lin Chuan shrugged, a bunch of self-serving, sycophantic villains.

"Look at you, didn't gain any favor, huh?" Zhou Rui snickered.

"Indeed, at least it let me see their true colors." Lin Chuan smiled candidly.

"What does that change?" Zhou Rui laughed disdainfully, "This world is so pragmatic, human hearts are unfathomable. Even if they are your classmates, so what? People are not much different from unicellular organisms. All driven by self-interest."

"Are you saying that I am harmful?" Lin Chuan pointed at himself and asked.

"Pfft..."

Zhou Rui suddenly covered her mouth and laughed, saying, "You said that, not me."

"I'm leaving," Lin Chuan sighed.

"Don't go," Zhou Rui hurriedly grabbed Lin Chuan's arm, saying, "If you leave, who will I talk to? Everyone is surrounding Yang Zi, leaving me alone, could you bear that?"

"Are you worried about not finding a boyfriend?" Lin Chuan glanced at Zhou Rui and walked towards the door, putting down his wine glass.

Zhou Rui quickly grabbed Lin Chuan's arm, saying, "Don't leave, if you leave, take me with you."

"Why should I?" Lin Chuan looked puzzled. Why is this woman so clingy?

"My aunt and my parents might be watching by the door, guarding against me sneaking out midway," Zhou Rui huffed. "If you take me away, they might not misunderstand. Besides, we work in the same factory, you should help me."

"Keep dreaming," Lin Chuan said flippantly and walked away.

"If you dare to walk out, I'll scream harassment," Zhou Rui said angrily.

Lin Chuan immediately stopped in his tracks, turned around, and walked slowly towards Zhou Rui with a menacing look. Zhou Rui was taken aback, staring at Lin Chuan, bewildered, and held her chest, warily saying, "Lin Chuan, what... what are you going to do?"

"Didn't you want to scream harassment?" Lin Chuan sneered: "Since they never thought of me as a good person anyway, I might as well break the rules today, have some meat. Tsk, I've never played with a woman, and my first time it's with someone as beautiful as you, I really find it hard to lay a finger on."

"You... you stay away," Zhou Rui backed away frantically.

"Hehe, go on, scream, scream loudly," Lin Chuan said with a sinister smile.

"Stop, stop, I don't want you to take me away anymore, isn't that enough?" Zhou Rui, frightened, turned pale. If she really started to scream, it would be embarrassing for herself, losing face not only for herself but also causing everyone to look down on her for being bullied by Lin Chuan.

"That's more like it," Lin Chuan nodded.

After that, Lin Chuan bolted outside, leaving the group of people gathered together. Being someone like Lin Chuan, who wasn't the center of attention, no one noticed his departure. Yang Zi was a bit curious though, she asked Zhou Rui: "Where did Lin Chuan go?"

"That jerk left," Zhou Rui replied irritably.

"It's better that he left, to spare him the jealousy," Yang Zi said with a smile.

Zhou Rui felt uncomfortable, she shot Yang Zi a glance and said: "Xiao Zi, do you really think Lin Chuan is that kind of person?"

"Isn't he?" Yang Zi disdainfully said: "He's exactly like that, haughty but incompetent, jealous of others, yet unwilling to put in the effort. Sigh, I've seen too many such people, setting their sights too high. Although he dropped out of high school, it's been eight years now, and he's still achieved nothing, it's really a pity to think about his youth."

Zhou Rui twisted her lips, choosing not to speak. Her aunt had already told her that Lin Chuan had become a local tycoon at Changlin Factory, reportedly starting a transport company on Huai Mountain South Road, making hundreds of thousands a month. Although Zhou Rui wasn't interested in money, she was still curious about how Lin Chuan managed to earn so much. But having seen Lin Chuan today, she noticed he had indeed changed quite a lot. His talk, his speech, his demeanor... every little detail revealed a lot about a person.

Unfortunately, Yang Zi was deceived by Liu Jianjun and misled by everyone else's words.

Zhou Rui never even thought of informing Yang Zi. To a woman enamored with vanity like her, knowing suddenly that the loser she once rejected now had so much money, would indeed be a severe blow. Although Liu Shaoqi was good, he was already married and established. Amongst high school friends, almost everyone settled down, only the mediocre ones remained, except for Lin Chuan, the dark horse with potential.

A class reunion gathers affection but meets fate.

Dozens of people at the Sheraton Hotel enjoying high-quality red wine, foreign wine...

Sheraton Hotel, a global chain of five-star hotels, emphasizes quality, selling service. The most valuable thing in the world is service, hence the service at Sheraton Hotel is incredibly upscale and high-quality.

Moreover, there's definitely no adulteration in the beverages here. Every bottle of red wine at the Sheraton Hotel is numbered, recording the origin of each wine, including the name of the wine master who brewed it, and every bottle also labels the name of the winery. There could absolutely be no problems.

Thus, the beverages here are particularly expensive, a bottle easily costing several thousand, and the costly ones could even be tens of thousands.

Liu Jianjun watched as everyone drank merrily, feeling anxious, since booking the venue alone cost sixty thousand, and with food and drinks, the budget roughly amounted to one hundred thousand. But Liu Shaoqi kept ordering wine, choosing those whose names even he couldn't pronounce. He guessed that those wines weren't cheap.

Although it pained Liu Jianjun to see, thinking about the rare opportunity to treat everyone to a meal, to get close to Liu Shaoqi and establish connections made it worthwhile. The most important thing was that he could also show off his success to his classmates.

After eating their fill, at that moment, Liu Shaoqi suggested, "Everyone, how about... we go downstairs to sing?"

"Sure," Liu Jianjun felt relieved seeing him finally ready to leave, and quickly exclaimed: "Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, quickly tally up the total for me."

At that moment, the lobby manager rushed over.

"Mr. Liu, the total comes to one hundred and eighty-three thousand," Manager Chen smiled amiably.

"That much?" Liu Jianjun was stunned, this had drastically exceeded his budget.

"I'll pick up the tab," Liu Shaoqi smiled, preparing to flaunt his black card when Manager Chen maintained his polite smile and said, "Mr. Liu, the bill for this banquet hall has already been pre-settled by Mr. Lin."

"What?" Liu Jianjun was taken aback and asked, "Which Mr. Lin?"

"It's Mr. Lin Chuan who left earlier," Manager Chen kept his polite smile and said, "I really didn't expect it, Mr. Liu, that you could make such a noble friend as Mr. Lin. Mr. Liu, please be sure to speak highly of our hotel to Mr. Lin. And if Citibank calls for a feedback survey, do give us a good review."
