"Mhm, I'm living at his place right now."
Qiu Hanying didn't hide anything, directly admitting it in front of everyone.
She could vaguely sense that this banquet wasn't as simple as she had imagined.
"Ah? You're really living together?"
Seeing Qiu Hanying admit it publicly, Sun Peng felt as if his forehead had been struck by a blunt object.
Good heavens, what had their old classmate done?
Being the private assistant to Xie Yun, one of the four great beauties of Hangcheng, and now living with Qiu Hanying, was this the kind of life a convict could lead?
Good heavens, he had been worried about him before. What if he became disconnected from society after getting out? He had even thought about how he could help him.
But now, it seemed he had worried completely unnecessarily!
This guy was living a life fit for an immortal.
"Mhm, then, what's your relationship with Lin Chen?"
Qiu Hanying nodded and looked at Sun Peng in front of her.
"Uh, we're university classmates, roommates, and considered best brothers."
As he spoke, Sun Peng scratched his head, becoming somewhat reserved.
After all, this was his boss!
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Sun Peng's words, Qiu Hanying understood more than half of it.
Looking at Qin Wanru, who was shrinking her head by the side of the hall, a curve appeared at the corner of Qiu Hanying's mouth.
It seemed she had indeed misunderstood Lin Chen this time.
She had initially thought Lin Chen had come here for a class reunion, to get back with that bitch Qin Wanru.
But now, it seemed Qin Wanru's plan had completely failed.
Lin Chen probably hadn't even considered attending a class reunion today. Instead, like her, he was attending a banquet!
"By the way, I remember your security department is currently short of a deputy supervisor, right?"
Suddenly, as if remembering something, Qiu Hanying looked directly at Sun Peng.
"Yes, the previous deputy supervisor was promoted, and the position is currently vacant."
Hearing Qiu Hanying's words, Sun Peng subconsciously swallowed and began to get excited.
He already had a vague guess as to what Qiu Hanying meant by saying this.
"Mhm, you can go to the HR department tomorrow to handle the handover. Work hard, and if I remember correctly, the manager of your security department is also close to retirement."
Qiu Hanying nodded, completely confirming Sun Peng's guess.
And most importantly, Qiu Hanying's words had hidden meanings!
What did she mean by the security department manager being close to retirement?
Wasn't this tantamount to directly telling him that once the security department manager retired, the position would be his?
After speaking, Qiu Hanying turned and left, leaving everyone else standing there, somewhat stunned.
"Uh, Sun Peng, you work at Rushuang Group, right?"
After Qiu Hanying's back disappeared, a few classmates slowly surrounded Sun Peng.
They all knew Sun Peng worked at Rushuang Group, but now? Just because of his relationship with Lin Chen, he was being fast-tracked to management?
And it was personally brought up by Qiu Hanying!
"Ahem, ahem, everyone, my apologies. Luo Bin just said that neither Lin Chen nor I are welcome at the class reunion, so I won't be staying any longer."
"Miss, let's head upstairs."
At this moment, Sun Peng turned around with a flourish and, led by the cheongsam-clad waitress, slowly walked upstairs.
He left Luo Bin and the others exchanging bewildered glances, unsure of what to say.
Just because he knew Lin Chen, he was arranged to dine on the second floor by the general manager of Hangcheng Hotel, and personally promoted by the president of Rushuang Group!
Even the most foolish person would realize that Lin Chen's identity was probably not simple!
Especially among the classmates other than Luo Bin, many of them had come today, frankly speaking, to curry favor with Luo Bin.
But now, it seemed Lin Chen was even more formidable than the esteemed Luo family!
Just by being good friends, he had completely changed Sun Peng's destiny, promoting him from an ordinary employee to management.
If he performed even slightly well, his future would be limitless!
At this moment, almost everyone subconsciously began to regret their actions.
If only they had treated Lin Chen with a better attitude earlier, perhaps they could have gained something too?
At the same time, Lin Chen, also led by the manager, arrived at a private room on the third floor.
Upon entering the room, he was completely astonished by its furnishings.
The private room was about a hundred square meters, and its decoration could only be described as luxurious.
What surprised Lin Chen the most was that even the various tableware on the dining table were made of gold!
"Hahaha, Mr. Lin, please have a seat."
Seeing Lin Chen arrive, Old Master Meng stood up and greeted him warmly.
"Old Master Meng, you're too kind."
Lin Chen nodded slightly and sat down opposite Old Master Meng.
Beside him, a middle-aged man in his forties also caught Lin Chen's attention.
Just by looking at the face that often appeared in the news, Lin Chen knew this was the governor of Hangcheng, Meng Yong!
"Mr. Lin, this is my son, Meng Yong. If I'm not around in the future, you can directly approach him for any matters."
Old Master Meng also noticed Lin Chen's gaze and quickly introduced him.
"Mhm."
Lin Chen nodded indifferently at Old Master Meng's words.
For him, being a governor or anything else was no longer important.
As a cultivator, if he desired power, he could easily wield far more than Meng Yong.
Before long, waiters brought out various exquisite dishes, and Old Master Meng personally raised his glass to express his gratitude to Lin Chen.
"Mr. Lin, this banquet today is, on one hand, to thank you for saving my life, and on the other hand, there are some matters I wish to discuss with you."
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, Old Master Meng put down his wine glass and looked at Lin Chen, who was heartily eating.
"Old Master Meng, you're too polite. Please speak directly if you have something to say."
Hearing Old Master Meng wanted to discuss something, Lin Chen also put down his chopsticks.
In fact, he had already vaguely sensed that today's banquet was more than just a thank-you dinner!
"It's like this, Mr. Lin. When you treated me before, you said someone had poisoned me while I was practicing, which caused me to go mad?"
As Old Master Meng brought up the topic, the temperature in the private room instantly dropped by ten degrees.
Meng Yong, standing nearby, clenched his fists and stood up abruptly.
Good heavens, he was the governor of Hangcheng!
And now someone dared to poison his father?
