There’s no point in making unpleasantness with Zhong Sheng and the others, so they just won’t sit at their table.
Wang Yue could see that Qiao Zixuan still wanted to catch up with her old classmates, so he naturally wasn’t going to leave.
Wang Yue led Qiao Zixuan towards the table where the atmosphere was most enthusiastic.
"Long time no see, Xuanxuan, you’ve grown so beautiful!"
A girl stepped forward with a smile.
"Minmin~"
Qiao Zixuan rushed forward and hugged the girl. "Long time no see!"
Zou Jiemin glanced at Wang Yue, then whispered, "How far have you two progressed? Have you done 'that'?"
"What are you talking about?"
Qiao Zixuan blushed and playfully hit Zou Jiemin.
This girl really dared to say anything, didn't she see so many people here?
Seeing the harmonious scene over there, Zhong Sheng’s smile finally disappeared. He unconsciously tightened his grip, and milk tea shot out through the straw.
"Hahaha, even our Brother Zhong gets angry sometimes."
Just then, Li Cheng sidled up again.
Zhong Sheng gave Li Cheng a cold glance and threw the milk tea into the trash can nearby.
"Brother Zhong, as the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. This kid is a common enemy for both of us. Perhaps we can form a temporary alliance."
Li Cheng wasn't bothered at all. He smiled and sat down next to Zhong Sheng.
"I don't need to ally with you."
Zhong Sheng said stiffly.
"No, you do. You're a civilized person, so you can't do anything to that kid even if you're angry. But I'm not civilized, I can."
Li Cheng said with a smile.
"Heh, you? Who was it that got schooled as soon as they arrived?"
Zhong Sheng chuckled.
"That kid's grip is indeed a bit strange, but it doesn't matter, I can call my buddies."
Li Cheng said with a sinister grin. "He embarrassed me so much, if this kid isn't taught a lesson, I won't be able to rest easy."
"Then you teach him a lesson, why are you looking for me?"
Zhong Sheng asked with a smile.
"Brother, I'm a bit short on cash lately. If Brother Zhong can be generous, I won't fight for Qiao Zixuan. And I can teach this kid a lesson for you too, how about that?"
Li Cheng patted his chest and said.
"How much do you want?"
Zhong Sheng pondered for a moment and said to Li Cheng.
Li Cheng held up three fingers.
"Three hundred?"
Li Cheng shook his head.
Zhong Sheng smiled, then beckoned Li Cheng over. "Come here."
When Li Cheng leaned in, Zhong Sheng whispered, "I'll give you six thousand. Not only do you have to teach this kid a lesson, but I also want to steal the show. You know what to do."
Li Cheng patted Zhong Sheng on the shoulder. "Hahaha, Brother Zhong, I know this stuff well. The hero saves the beauty, right? I can have my buddies cooperate with you. The plan is like this..."
Afterward, both of them chuckled with their own hidden agendas.
After dinner at the Happy Station.
Zhong Sheng stood up and announced loudly, "Everyone, listen up! Next, we're going to Blue Coast KTV to sing. My treat, what do you think?"
"We absolutely have to go!"
"Why wouldn't we go if someone's treating? Boss Zhong is generous!"
"It's still early anyway, let's go, let's go, let's go."
Most people wanted to go. After all, it was free.
"Wang Yue, are we going?"
Qiao Zixuan asked.
At this moment, she was surrounded by three or four female friends, and they were chatting happily.
"Handsome guy, come with us! We haven't seen Xuanxuan in so long."
"Yeah, handsome guy, come on! Xuanxuan sings really well."
"Let's go eat the rich, we're duty-bound!"
Wang Yue could see that Qiao Zixuan really wanted to go, so he agreed with a nod. "Let's go then."
"Hooray!"
...
Blue Coast KTV was considered quite luxurious in their small town. Not only were the facilities advanced, but the decoration was also extremely opulent, comparable to KTVs in big cities.
However, the prices were considerably higher than in ordinary KTVs.
A group of 17 people arrived at Blue Coast KTV in a grand procession.
"Yo, Young Master Zhong is here! Bringing your classmates to have some fun?"
The manager came forward, asking with a smile.
"Yes, bringing my classmates to have fun. Book us a deluxe large private room."
Zhong Sheng nodded.
"Alright, everyone follow me."
Led by the manager, the group went up to the second floor and entered a very large room.
"Wow! This room is so big! I've never seen such a large room at a KTV before."
"This can probably accommodate 30 people with room to spare."
"The decoration is also very luxurious, worthy of Blue Coast."
Upon entering the room, everyone exclaimed in surprise.
The manager smiled and said to the group, "This room is a VIP lounge, only open to our distinguished VIPs of Blue Coast. So, please don't be too surprised, classmates."
At this, many people's gazes towards Zhong Sheng changed.
A VIP of Blue Coast!
Rumor had it that one had to spend at least 100,000 yuan at Blue Coast to become a VIP.
One hundred thousand was an unattainable sum for most students.
They had always known Zhong Sheng's family was wealthy, but no one knew exactly how wealthy.
Today, they truly had their eyes opened.
Many girls started sending furtive glances at Zhong Sheng. He was a true 'gao fu shuai' (tall, rich, and handsome).
"I hope everyone has a great time."
After the manager finished speaking, he closed the door and left.
Zhong Sheng put on his signature gentle smile again. "Everyone, don't be shy, treat it like your own home. There are drinks and beverages in the freezer and on the shelves nearby. Feel free to take whatever you like."
"Boss Zhong is generous!"
"As expected of our class's 'gao fu shuai', such lavish spending."
"Zhong Sheng, Zhong Sheng, I love you, just like mice love rice."
...
Then, Zhong Sheng walked towards Wang Yue, Qiao Zixuan, and the others.
Qiao Zixuan eyed Zhong Sheng with vigilance, unsure what trouble he was brewing this time.
Zhong Sheng glanced at Qiao Zixuan, then turned his gaze to Wang Yue and suddenly said, "Wang Yue, I apologize to you."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
Zhong Sheng actually apologized?
In their eyes, Zhong Sheng had always been an unapproachable figure. Handsome, good at studies, wealthy family, they had never seen him apologize.
Zhong Sheng continued, "I admit that what I said this morning was somewhat hurtful. You were right, there's no high or low in professions. I was too shallow before."
Wang Yue was also a little surprised. He hadn't expected Zhong Sheng to apologize to him.
However, he could also tell that Zhong Sheng's apology wasn't sincere, otherwise, he wouldn't have even omitted a simple "I'm sorry."
"Even though I don't know what trick you're up to, let the bullets fly for a while."
Wang Yue grinned. "I'll accept your apology for now, and see how you perform later."
Good heavens!
Everyone was a bit dumbfounded.
After Zhong Sheng displayed his wealth, Wang Yue actually showed such little regard. This was something many hadn't anticipated.
A flicker of imperceptible anger flashed in Zhong Sheng's eyes, then he smiled, "I hope we can bury the hatchet."
"Alright, everyone, let's start singing!"
Zhong Sheng returned to his seat. Fei Shaobo looked puzzled. "Brother Sheng, why did you apologize to that unlucky kid?"
"I can't let Xuanxuan look down on me,"
Zhong Sheng said indifferently.
