Prince charming, your persona has collapsed!

In front of Luo Jialiang, Liu Shuo was always arrogant, but when it came to Zhou Yuwen, he acted particularly obedient. Zhou Yuwen only had to say a word, and Liu Shuo immediately ran over to get it done without hesitation.

He didn't forget to greet Su Qing, who was sitting beside Zhou Yuwen, calling out "Big Sis."

This, naturally, left Luo Jialiang confused and puzzled.

Until a friend studying in Jinling asked, "Zhou Yuwen, I heard you and Liu Shuo started a company in Jinling—is it true?"

"What kind of nonsense is that? Of course it's true! Our company is huge!" Before Zhou Yuwen could answer, Liu Shuo already jumped in to reply.

Luo Jialiang, who studied outside of the province, had once been a standout student in high school. After entering college, he didn't do too badly either and decided to organize a reunion to see how his classmates were doing. He also intended, naturally, to show off his position as the deputy minister of the organizational department. However, he didn't seem to know much about his classmates' situations.

Meanwhile, most of Zhou Yuwen's classmates were studying in Jinling. How could they not know about him? The fact that he'd made a few million yuan by writing novels was already hard for Luo Jialiang to process.

When Liu Shuo arrived and the topic of starting a company came up, Luo Jialiang was even more incredulous. He felt like Liu Shuo must be bluffing. A few thousand people? Could they really be that impressive?

Luo Jialiang was convinced this group of people was just bragging.

Yet the other classmates from Jinling were listening attentively and even said things like, "Mr. Zhou, Director Liu, we might need your help introducing us to jobs in the future."

When they said it, they actually raised their glasses with a look of genuine respect.

As for Liu Shuo, while he was often arrogant, he knew how to behave depending on the occasion.

At that moment, Liu Shuo said, "Hey, just call him Mr. Zhou. I'm just the errand boy for my bro! In Jinling, we've got thousands of people following my bro. Seriously, all of you—you don't hold a candle to my brother!"

Su Qing chuckled quietly at his words.

Zhou Yuwen, on the other hand, replied helplessly, "How are you already talking nonsense without even drinking any alcohol?"

Liu Shuo scratched his head sheepishly, laughing. He'd been bragging too much earlier, and even though he'd only had one bottle of beer, he was already recounting how Zhou Yuwen had started out selling phone cards.

The classmates had some idea about this because Zhou Yuwen had mentioned it in their group chat at the time. Luo Jialiang had seen it but hadn't paid attention since he wasn't in Jinling.

Back then, Luo Jialiang had scoffed internally, thinking Zhou Yuwen had really changed. The guy who used to keep everyone at arm's length and act so lofty in high school was now selling phone cards in college, of all things.

Little did Luo Jialiang know that he'd once looked down on Zhou Yuwen.

Now, hearing Liu Shuo say that Zhou Yuwen had made four or five hundred thousand yuan just from selling phone cards,

the classmates couldn't help but look at Zhou Yuwen differently.

Some people were initially skeptical.

In any high school class, there's always one ethereal "White Moonlight" figure, like Li Shiqi, who is focused entirely on studying and becomes the secret crush of countless admirers. Of course, there are also those who don't perform well academically but are undeniably beautiful.

These girls are generally more outgoing. Listening to Liu Shuo's bragging, one of them couldn't help asking, "Hey, Liu Shuo, is what you said really true? I don't believe it!"

"Come on, why would I lie about this? It's all over the news online. If you don't believe me, ask the class representative, okay? Class rep, have I said anything untrue?" Liu Shuo said, turning to Li Shiqi, who had been quiet until now.

Everyone's eyes turned to Li Shiqi. Facing the sudden attention, Li Shiqi was a little flustered but still nodded and said, "Zhou Yuwen is indeed quite famous in University Town. Even the student council at our school has reached out to collaborate with him."

"Really? Shiqi, aren't you in Nanda?"

Li Shiqi's words surprised the group.

No matter how impressive Zhou Yuwen might be, everyone still thought of him as just a classmate. But the student council at Nanda reaching out to collaborate with him?

That was too unbelievable.

From that point on, the girls at the table began looking at Zhou Yuwen in a different light.

However, Zhou Yuwen was more reserved and didn't talk much, making it hard for others to approach him directly. Meanwhile, Liu Shuo kept acting boastful, chatting away with some of the guys, eating and drinking as if he owned the place.

As for Zhou Yuwen, he was slow and deliberate. Honestly, at this table, the only person he could really talk to was Su Qing. The two of them had a few bites of food, and Zhou Yuwen commented that the taste hadn't changed at all.

Su Qing asked, "Have you eaten here before?"

"Of course. Haven't you?"

"I forgot. Hey, so you're not someone who's nostalgic, huh."

Su Qing tilted her head and huffed softly, saying, "Why would I need to be nostalgic? I just need to be sentimental about you."

Zhou Yuwen chuckled at that and tapped Su Qing's nose lightly.

Su Qing complained to him that Liu Shuo was over there bragging endlessly, and he wasn't stopping him.

Zhou Yuwen replied, "If you already know he's bluffing, why stop him?"

The two of them kept whispering to each other.

Meanwhile, a few girls at the table were secretly watching Zhou Yuwen. They were, after all, just eighteen or nineteen years old. After studying away from home for a semester, they'd come to realize the vastness of the world—and, naturally, the importance of money.
