Chapter 160: Who is the boss?

“Whether you believe it or not is up to you. As an old classmate, I’m just giving you a friendly reminder.

If you donate all the money you have now as charity, perhaps you can still escape this calamity. If you remain stubborn, first your house will catch fire, and then you’ll face imprisonment. Not only will you lose all your money, but you’ll also never be able to recover.”

The reason he gave Yang Jincai an Opportunity was entirely out of their past classmate friendship, but he would say no more, regardless of whether the other party believed him or not.

“You bastard, are you looking for trouble?”

Yang Jincai was about to lunge forward, but Gao Daqiang pushed him back.

“Ye Bufan is my brother. No one can touch him while I’m here!”

Looking at Gao Daqiang, who was like an iron tower, Yang Jincai immediately cowered. A Young Master like him, who indulged in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, wouldn’t be a match for him, even if there were ten of him.

Xu Qiuyuan quickly pulled him back, “Yang Jincai, you don’t need to bother with him. He’s just jealous because you have money.”

Then he turned to Ye Bufan and said, “They all said you went to study Chinese medicine. How come your Medical skill hasn’t improved, and you’ve become a charlatan instead?

Everyone here has received a higher education, who would believe your nonsense?”

Ye Bufan shook his head. He had said all he could. Yang Jincai’s disbelief was simply his destined calamity.

Just then, the door opened, and a man and a woman walked in.

The woman wore a long red dress, heavily made-up, looking incredibly seductive.

The man was not tall, and he was so thin that he looked like he could be blown away by a gust of wind.

“Sun Dongwei, Cao Ruobing, you’re finally here.”

Upon seeing the two, Yang Jincai immediately beamed with joy and went to greet them, seating them at the main table.

Not only him, but all the classmates present also stood up to greet them, as these two were prominent figures in their class. The man was Sun Dongwei, and the woman was Cao Ruobing.

Among their classmates back then, Yang Jincai’s Family wealth could only rank second; Sun Dongwei was undeniably the first.

His father, Sun Yongjiang, was a well-known capable man in Wufeng County, the president of the Financial Chamber of Commerce, holding a crucial position in the entire Wufeng County business Domain.

And Cao Ruobing was the class beauty back then, both beautiful and academically excellent. Every time there was an exam, Ye Bufan was first and she was second, and many called them the golden couple.

She had once pursued Ye Bufan, but Ye Bufan was very naive at that time and didn’t consider such matters at all.

Time had passed.

Unexpectedly, the former class beauty chose Sun Dongwei, this good-for-nothing fellow. Her personal style had also undergone a drastic change; her innocence had vanished, and instead, she had become incredibly seductive.

Sun Dongwei sat down at the main seat, his expression arrogant as he scanned the room. When his gaze fell upon Zhao Xiaodie next to Gao Daqiang, an uncontrollable lust immediately flashed in his eyes.

He was just an ordinary person, naturally unable to resist the allure of charm like Ye Bufan.

But Sun Dongwei was far more cunning than Yang Jincai, and he quickly concealed the lust in his heart, saying, “Da Qiang, is this your girlfriend?”

“This is my girlfriend, Zhao Xiaodie.” Gao Daqiang said a bit awkwardly, “Yang Jincai said when he notified us that if we had girlfriends, we should bring them along. I didn’t expect to be the only one who brought someone.”

Sun Dongwei said, “It’s nothing, it’s what you should do. We’re all classmates, so if you have a girlfriend, you can naturally introduce her to everyone!”

Yang Jincai said, “I want to announce to everyone that I’m just a runner for today’s gathering. The real organizer is Sun Shao.

I believe many classmates are coming here for the first time. Let me tell you, the VIP private rooms at Tianhao Hotel are not something ordinary people can afford.

For example, this room we’re in today costs at least 10,000 yuan, and only Sun Shao, with his immense wealth, can afford it.”

Although his Family had a Holy Water Sauna, in Wufeng County, it was at most considered a local tycoon. In many areas, they still relied on Sun Dongwei and his father, Sun Yongjiang.

So, just as Xu Qiuyuan had flattered him, now he was flattering Sun Dongwei.

After Yang Jincai finished speaking, many people present showed expressions of shock and envy. As they said, many people were coming to such a high-end place for the first time and didn’t realize the cost was so high.

In a small county town like Wufeng County, many people’s monthly income is around two to three thousand yuan. To spend 10,000 yuan on a single meal was simply beyond their imagination.

Sun Dongwei was extremely satisfied with everyone’s reaction. He waved his hand, putting on a show of being wealthy, and said, “This is nothing, just a small amount of money. Class reunions are about friendship; talking about money is too vulgar.

Originally, the gathering was scheduled for yesterday, but unfortunately, a major event occurred in our Wufeng County. Miss Gu from the Gu Family directly booked the entire Tianhao Hotel, so we had to change the date to today.”

“My goodness, a private room has a minimum spend of 10,000 yuan. How much would it cost to book the entire hotel?”

“I don’t know.

(End of chapter, please turn the page)

Didn’t you hear Sun Shao say that it was Miss Gu of the Gu Family who booked the hotel? In her eyes, booking a hotel is just a small amount of money.”

“Miss Gu, is it the Gu Family from the provincial capital?”

Everyone present was even more shocked by this news. Some marveled at the Gu Family’s financial power, while some hadn’t even heard of the Gu Family.

This was understandable, as many people were from the lower strata of society and simply didn’t know about the affairs of the upper class.

Sun Dongwei said, “Perhaps you haven’t heard of the Gu Family, so let me tell you, classmates.

The Gu Family is a top Family in our Jiangnan Province. Their strength is beyond what us small people can imagine. Not only do they possess astonishing wealth, but they also have extremely powerful influence in various Domains.

Perhaps classmates still don’t quite understand this, so let me give you an example. Our Pengcheng Group in Wufeng County is definitely the leading financial group here, but it’s just a small industry of the Gu Family.”

“Oh my god, I thought Pengcheng Group was already incredible, but it turns out it’s just a small company under the Gu Family.”

“Poverty truly limits our imagination. How much money must they have!”

“They must be rich, otherwise how could they book an entire Tianhao Hotel for a feast…”

Everyone present was discussing, and Yang Jincai said, “Sun Shao, the Gu Family is already so formidable, so the person who could make Miss Gu book an entire hotel to entertain them must also be very impressive, right?”

“Of course!” Sun Dongwei said with an arrogant expression, “Don’t even talk about being entertained by the Gu Family; just having a slight connection with the Gu Family would allow one to thrive in Jiangnan City.

Any project the Gu Family throws your way would be enough for an ordinary person to live comfortably for a lifetime.”

Xu Qiuyuan said, “Sun Shao, is the person being entertained from our Wufeng County?”

Sun Dongwei said, “Of course, otherwise how could Miss Gu travel all the way here to entertain someone.”

Yang Jincai said, “Sun Shao, can you tell us who that important figure is? We must pay them a good visit if we get the chance.”

“I can’t say. Anything related to the Gu Family is a business secret; how can it be casually revealed?”

Actually, Sun Dongwei had only heard a rumor. He had no idea who Gu Qingcheng was inviting. He said this simply to maintain his superior image in front of his classmates.

He then chuckled, “In short, the person being entertained is definitely not anyone present here. None of us have the qualifications to dine with Miss Gu, let alone have her book an entire hotel just for us.”
