King of Industry

Meilan Hotel is located in the very center of Ninghai City.

The hotel covers an area of ​​nearly 40 acres, adjacent to the Huancheng River, with green trees and pleasant scenery. It is the only hotel in Ninghai City that can receive foreign guests. It is also a high-grade hotel in the entire Guangling area. One of the comprehensive hotels.

Today is the weekend, and it is also the day agreed by Zhao Guoyang and the monkey high school classmates.

Because Zhao Guoyang was working in Ninghai City, and he got off work early and had nothing to do, so he walked over by himself at 5:30.

Walking in the Meilan Hotel, bathed in the brilliance of the setting sun, Zhao Guoyang felt a little relieved.

Strolling around the small garden and the lakeside corridor in the hotel, Zhao Guoyang seems to have regained a long-lost youthful memory.

Yes, although his body after rebirth is very young, his mentality is still that of a middle-aged man with a successful career in his previous life, and sometimes he seems out of tune with this world.

Walking around in such a beautiful environment today made Zhao Guoyang feel a lot more relaxed.

Raising his hand to look at the time, it was almost the appointed time, so Zhao Guoyang didn't continue walking, instead he turned around and walked towards the hotel lobby in front.

"Hey, you are... Guoyang?" A soft voice suddenly sounded behind Zhao Guoyang.

Hearing this voice, Zhao Guoyang was startled.

Immediately, he quickly turned around, and saw two girls about his own age looking at him in surprise.

The girl on the left is tall, with wavy curls, she looks much more mature than her actual age.

The white dress was worn on her body, with a bit of pure beauty, which was very eye-catching.

In contrast, the girl on the right is a little more ordinary.

Her clothes are relatively plain, and her face is slightly plateau red, but her eyebrows are still very delicate.

Zhao Guoyang looked around the two girls, but he didn't recognize who they were.

Seeing this, the pretty girl who greeted her earlier pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Guoyang, are you too forgetful? You don't even know me at the same table?"

After hearing this, Zhao Guoyang was taken aback.

Of course, his deskmate is Qi Meiyun, the squad leader back then, but this white-collar beauty who looks talkative and lively, is the unsmiling squad leader back then?

The contrast seems to be too big, right?

Seeing that Zhao Guoyang was still in a daze, the girl gave him a sideways glance and said, "Hey, Zhao Guoyang, didn't you do it on purpose? I'm Qi Meiyun, I really don't know you?"

"Ah... oh, oh, Meiyun, hello, hello!" Zhao Guoyang was stunned, and immediately stretched out his hand, subconsciously wanting to shake hands with the other party.

When he realized that the other party was his classmate, not the leader of a ministry or state-owned enterprise, he quickly retracted his hand.

Zhao Guoyang's stretching and shrinking didn't matter, but Qi Meiyun on the other side was a little annoyed.

Speaking of Zhao Guoyang's grades in high school, he has always been the first in the class, and she is also the one she secretly catches up with.

For this boy who seemed to be so calm and calm forever, she had an inexplicable emotion.

Five years after graduation, Qi Meiyun still has some strange feelings in her heart when she thinks back to those days when she was at the same table with Zhao Guoyang.

She knew in her heart that maybe this was a secret love.

But now, Zhao Guoyang, whom he had always cared about, didn't even offer to shake hands with him, which made Qi Meiyun a little annoyed.

"Zhao Guoyang, are you arrogant now? You don't even want to shake hands with me?" Qi Meiyun gave Zhao Guoyang a hard look and said.

Zhao Guoyang didn't know why this "iceberg beauty" had become so talkative now, and he was scratching his head right now.

He coughed to cover up his embarrassment, then stretched out his hand to hold each other again.

"Squad leader, I was just stunned by your current image just now, I didn't mean to snub you on purpose. If you say that you have changed too much, it's only been five years, you have changed a lot!"

After lightly shaking Qi Meiyun's hand, Zhao Guoyang shook his head and sighed softly.

After hearing this, Qi Meiyun felt a little happy, and her face looked much better.

"Ah? Meiyun, is the person next to you...also our classmate?" Zhao Guoyang seemed to have remembered something, and asked again.

Qi Meiyun glanced at Zhao Guoyang with an expression of hating iron but saying: "Guoyang, your memory is really bad."

"You don't know Chen Yan anymore? Wasn't that your buddy at the beginning—that monkey's deskmate!"

"Ah, it's Chen Yan, I remembered!" Hearing the name, Zhao Guoyang was stunned.

When he saw the monkey for the first time after he was reborn, this guy mentioned Chen Yan.

It seems that when he said that this Chen Yan also entered a factory, and also seemed to be a team leader.

Seeing the weather-beaten look on this classmate's face now, Zhao Guoyang immediately remembered the monkey's introduction back then.

"Chen Yan, hello, hello!" Zhao Guoyang stretched out his hand politely, and greeted Chen Yan with a smile.

Chen Yan probably knew something about Zhao Guoyang through the monkey, and when she shook hands with him, she smiled slightly and said, "Guoyang, I heard that your business is doing well, congratulations!"

Before Zhao Guoyang had time to speak, Qi Meiyun next to him asked in amazement: "Student Chen Yan, Guoyang has started a business. The last time I saw a monkey in SJ City, this kid didn't tell me!"

Hearing this, Zhao Guoyang quickly waved his hands and said, "Small business is nothing. Let's not talk about it! Sir, there is another car coming over there. Shall we go over and see if it's our old classmate?"

Qi Meiyun turned her head to look, and sure enough a small car drove in from the door of the hotel over there.

"This Jetta is a private car, rich man!"

When Zhao Guoyang and the others walked out, they heard the hotel waiter muttering.

When the car saw Zhao Guoyang and the others approaching, it stopped with a "crack".

Then, a skinny, greasy-faced guy put down the glass, stuck his head out of the window and waved at Zhao Guoyang and the others.

"Hi, Mr. Squad Leader, Chen Yan..."

Obviously, in this person's eyes, he didn't see the existence of Zhao Guoyang at all.

"Hey, it's Hong Xiaofeng. Are you rich? You even bought a car?" Seeing the ostentatious smile on this guy's face, Qi Meiyun couldn't help but say a word.

Hong Xiaofeng didn't hear Qi Meiyun's sarcasm, and said with a smug smile: "It's okay, follow my dad to start a building materials business, and make a small success!"

After saying this, this guy seemed to have noticed Zhao Guoyang.

He feigned surprise and said, "Guoyang, are you Guoyang?"

Zhao Guoyang shrugged with a smile and said, "It's me, student Xiaofeng. I think you should park the car before chatting. Look at the main entrance, you have blocked the road behind the house!"

After hearing Zhao Guoyang's words, Hong Xiaofeng's face twitched.

Apparently, he felt that the other party had no vision, and he didn't even see that he was showing off.

After Zhao Guoyang finished speaking, Qi Meiyun nodded seriously and said, "Yes, what Guoyang said is right. Hong Xiaofeng, hurry up and park the car before coming over. It's not good to be stuck here!"

"Okay, okay!" Hong Xiaofeng gritted his teeth and nodded, slowly rolled up the car window, and left resentfully.

Seeing the Jetta drive away, Qi Meiyun looked at Zhao Guoyang with some concern and said, "Guoyang, Hong Xiaofeng's family was rich when he was in high school, and he likes to show off. Don't be as knowledgeable as him!"

"If he says something to you later, just ignore him and just treat him as air."

Zhao Guoyang didn't expect that the squad leader had such a considerate side, and he was a little moved at the moment.

He smiled and nodded without saying anything.

Just at this moment, many students gradually came over, and they happened to chat at the door.

When everyone first saw Qi Meiyun, the class monitor, they all kept praising her, saying she was beautiful, capable, and able to thrive in a big city.

As for Hong Xiaofeng who rushed over after parking the car, many people also praised him to the fullest.

Especially the few male students whose names Zhao Guoyang couldn't remember were even more enthusiastic. It seemed that they were about to lick this guy's toes.

As for Zhao Guoyang, the student with the best grades in the class, everyone was obviously not very interested.

A few classmates greeted him twice, but after they didn't get enthusiastic feedback, the rest of them stopped trying to strike up a conversation.

Zhao Guoyang's being left out in the cold naturally couldn't escape Hong Xiaofeng's eyes.

He glanced at Zhao Guoyang complacently, and then set his eyes on Qi Meiyun who was as proud as a little peacock in the middle of the crowd.

"Hmph, the squad leader seemed to be at the same table as Zhao Guoyang when he was in high school, so he might be interested in him."

"Hey, now that the two sides are compared, she should know what it means to be a 'late striker', right? Don't bully the young and poor, I think Qi Meiyun will keep these words in mind after today!"

Just when Hong Xiaofeng was secretly complacent, another car drove in at the door.

Seeing the Shanghai A license plate on the car, a group of students exclaimed: "Wow, Santana! It's still a Songjiang license plate!"

A classmate who knew about Qi Meiyun's recent situation asked, "Meiyun, is this car yours?"

Qi Meiyun frowned slightly, shook her head and said, "I said you think highly of me too. This Santana costs at least 200,000 yuan less, how can I afford it!"

"Uh, if the class leader can't afford it, who could it be?" a classmate asked doubtfully.

"Hey, silly salamander, don't guess. Maybe, he is not our classmate!" Another classmate muttered.

The only person on the scene who knew who the car was was naturally Zhao Guoyang.

Seeing the monkey watching the car approaching, he was amused: This kid will enjoy it, and he has already used the car as soon as it was given to him.

Just as everyone was talking, the monkey poked its head out of the car.

"Hey, all the students are here! Sorry, I'm late!"

A group of people didn't expect that it would be Sun Ning, and they were a little dazed for a while.

Seeing Zhao Guoyang at the end of the crowd, the monkey was about to say hello to him when Zhao Guoyang shook his head slightly.
