My White and Rich Beautiful CEO Wife

"Hehe.... The East Sea is shallow with plenty of bullfrogs, it's full of big shots, what I've achieved isn't worth mentioning!"

Shen Tao wore a restrained smile on his face as he waved his hand.

Then, he walked over to the Bentley, opened the car door for Li Lu, "Li, the great school beauty, please!"

During their three years of high school, Li Lu was always chosen as the school beauty, and the boys pursuing her never stopped, with Shen Tao being one of them.

He assumed that after more than ten years, Li Lu might have let herself go, possibly becoming a plump auntie.

To his surprise, she was still fair-skinned and shapely, looking even more stunning than her slightly green days in high school.

Hearing that she had divorced, the gears in Shen Tao's belly began to turn.

"Thank you!"

Li Lu nodded politely, got out of the car, and then greeted a few other female classmates, "Yanni, Wenwen, long time no see!"

"Lu Lu, how do you keep yourself up, looking just like a young girl!"

"Yeah, we're almost turning into old women, share your secret with us!"

The female classmates gathered around Li Lu, chatting away about topics of interest to women.

"Qin Yu!"

Seeing Qin Yu park his car and come over, Shen Tao pulled out a Da Chongjiu and tossed one to him.

"Thanks...."

Qin Yu clipped the cigarette behind his ear, as he had never picked up the habit of smoking.

"How's your job? How many thousands does your boss pay you a month?"

Shen Tao asked loudly.

Firstly, it was just his flamboyant nature; secondly, he wanted Li Lu to overhear his conversation with Qin Yu.

Everyone knew that Li Lu and Qin Yu had almost reached the point of discussing marriage.

But for some unknown reason, they never ended up together.

"It's okay, about the same as any other driver!"

Qin Yu responded modestly.

"Hehe, so that's four or five thousand a month? That's what I pay my drivers. Look, I need a head of security, come work for me, I'll give you eight thousand!"

Shen Tao offered, smiling.

"I'm quite satisfied with my current job, I don't want to switch jobs yet!"

Qin Yu shook his head and glanced at the few female classmates chatting energetically, "Isn't anyone else coming?"

"Liu Jinlong and Xu Jie are coming a bit later; they said so in the class group chat!"

After Shen Tao finished speaking, he checked his watch, "Let's go inside first."

"Squeak..."

At that moment, the sound of braking was heard.

A sports version of the Range Rover stopped in front of everyone.

"Tsk, which old classmate is this?"

Shen Tao smacked his lips. Read the latest on empire

"Haha, you don't recognize me, lad?"

The car door opened, and a burly man stepped out.

Bald-headed, with a big gold chain and pea shoes, he wore the quintessential attire of a 'social brother'.

"Damn, Liu Jinlong?"

Shen Tao's eyes widened, "Isn't it said... you were inside?"

"Haha, just got out last year!"

Liu Jinlong said nonchalantly, laughing.

In their circle, if you hadn't been to prison, it was embarrassing to say you were part of the gang.

"Tsk tsk, it seems you guys make quick money taking shortcuts!"

Shen Tao took out a Da Chongjiu, handed one to Liu Jinlong, quite differently from how he had tossed one to Qin Yu.

"Haha, making do, I just made over five hundred thousand last month!"

After lighting his cigarette, Liu Jinlong said with excitement.

"Damn it, now that you mention it, I'm tempted to shut down the hotel and hang out with you instead!"

Shen Tao said enviously.

Back in high school, he was pretty close with Liu Jinlong; both loved to show off and get into fights – they were the class's so-called "Sleeping Dragons and Crouching Tigers."

"Haha, Big Boss Shen, you think my little bit of money would catch your eye?"

Liu Jinlong said jokingly, then took a good look at Qin Yu: "He is... "

"Oh, Qin Yu, the one who used to sit at the back!"

Shen Tao said indifferently.

Qin Yu had always been introverted and became even more so after his parents divorced, almost struggling to pay his own school fees.

So, in the eyes of many classmates, Qin Yu was like an "invisible man," barely noticeable.

"Oh, I remember now, he's the one who always had plain rice with pickles, right? And on weekends, he seemed to go out to wait tables, didn't he?"

Liu Jinlong slapped his bald head.

"Exactly, those socks with patches hanging outside the dorm, those were his!"

"It's not just the socks that had patches, if I recall correctly, he never even bought a uniform in all three years of high school, right?"

Shen Tao and Liu Jinlong merrily brought up Qin Yu's embarrassing high school moments.

"Hey, are you two done yet?"

Li Lu could no longer stand it and came over, glaring at them: "So what if Qin Yu's family was less well-off? Before Zhu Yuanzhang became emperor, he was a beggar!"

"Heh, Li Lu, from what you're saying, is Qin Yu now something special?"

Liu Jinlong stroked his bald head, asking with a hint of sarcasm.

"Not to say he's all that impressive, but at least he's not doing badly. He has bought a house in Tong Weixiang and his monthly salary is also seventy to eighty thousand!"

Li Lu was aware of Qin Yu's recent situation. Compared to most people, he had made something of himself.

"Wow, such a high salary, no wonder you didn't come over to work for my eight thousand a month!"

Shen Tao sounded a bit sour.

Despite the sizable look of his hotel, it only made a net profit of about a hundred thousand a month.

"Hmph, what's the use of a high salary if you're still just a wage earner? Entrepreneurs like Shen Tao and me, that's the real deal!"

Liu Jinlong snorted disapprovingly.

"Enough already, Li Lu the beauty queen invited us to catch up, not to brag about earnings. Come on, let's go in and order. See what you want to eat, I'll cover the bill tonight!"

Shen Tao was interested in Li Lu and definitely didn't want to make her angry.

He called everyone to follow him into the hotel.

Shen Tao arranged a luxurious private room, and after the few female classmates ordered the dishes, he had the waiter bring some drinks and alcohol first, and they chatted while waiting for the food.

After a while, a few more male classmates knocked on the door and came in.

"Sorry for being late, I was just about to finish work when a new shipment came in, had to unload it before I could leave!"

"Yeah, I was about to clock out when the boss said we had to work an extra hour."

"Same here, I can't finish my bus route until seven, and since my colleague didn't show up, I couldn't just leave!"n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

Clearly, these few male classmates were ordinary folks, all with different jobs but similarly hardworking.

"Hehe, you three should start with a penalty of three drinks each!"

Shen Tao said with a laugh.

"Sure, sure!"

In front of Shen Tao, who was worth millions, these few male classmates seemed somewhat humbled.

After pouring the drinks, they each downed three shots and then took the initiative to toast Shen Tao and Liu Jinlong.

In the end, it was Shen Tao who had to introduce Qin Yu before they recognized him.

But their expressions weren't as respectful as before.

That's how it is with those at the bottom; they kowtow to the powerful and look down upon peers, crushing each other underfoot.

Qin Yu didn't mind; if it weren't for Li Lu's invitation, he really wouldn't be interested in this so-called class reunion.

"Come on, let's all take turns toasting the great beauty Li Lu!"

Shen Tao proposed.

His intent was clear, to get Li Lu drunk.
