Starting as the President of a Billionaire Group

Chapter 1144: Chapter 1119: Encountering a College Classmate

”Waiter, order please.” Li Yan called the waiter over and said.

The waiter walked over with a smile and asked, ”Young Master Li, what would you like to eat today?”

”Bring me a bottle of Lafite, one serving of sirloin steak for each, vegetable salad, let’s start with these. If we need more, we’ll order later.” Li Yan said with a smile.

Not to mention other things, just the bottle of Lafite itself costs a lot. Li Yan looked at Ye Chen with a face full of smugness.

”Young Master Li, truly generous and extravagant.”

”And aren’t you aware Young Master Li is the young master of the Li Group, his family is certainly wealthy.”

”Indeed, being friends with someone like him really brings honor to us, today I must properly taste the Lafite.”

Upon hearing everyone’s compliments, Li Yan’s face beamed with pride.

Song Xiaoxiao’s pretty face became increasingly unpleasant, she knew Li Yan couldn’t possibly be so kind to treat them to a meal.

If it weren’t for Ye Chen insisting on coming, she wouldn’t have wanted to give this face at all.

Now it turned into Li Yan’s show, his purpose was to embarrass and insult Ye Chen.

”Ye Chen, where are you working these days?” Zhang Tao suddenly asked.

Li Yan was a true rich second generation, so his friends were likely extraordinary too, right?

”My job can’t be compared with yours, it’s better not to say it.” Ye Chen waved his hand and said.

Looking at Ye Chen’s extremely ordinary attire, he didn’t seem to be someone wealthy.

Just then, a young man in a suit walked in from outside, he smiled and said, ”Sorry I’m late, I attended a very important meeting today.”

”It’s fine, Brother Liu, it’s good that you could come.” Li Yan said with a smile.

When he spoke, he was very polite, unlike his previous arrogance.

”Who is this?” Zhou Kai asked as he looked at the man in front of him.

”This is Zhan Hua, Brother Zhan, he is the young master of the Iris Group.” Li Yan introduced with a face full of pride.

”Iris Group, that’s a name that ranks globally, and this person is related to the group, not to mention that he’s a young master.”

Looking at Zhan Hua in front of them, everyone was dumbfounded.

”Hello everyone, just call me Robin.” Zhan Hua said with a smile.

Ye Chen had a look of disdain on his face, thinking, why is a good Huaxia person pretending?

At this moment, Zhan Hua looked across at Ye Chen with a look of surprise: ”Ye Chen, it’s actually you.”

Ye Chen had found the name somewhat unusual just now, as there were not many people with the surname Zhan, and this Zhan Hua liked to put on airs, always feeling he was someone Ye Chen knew.

Ye Chen had a university classmate named Zhan Hua, but after several years, Ye Chen had long since forgotten him.

”Ye Chen, it’s actually you? Long time no see, old classmate.” Zhan Hua suddenly said, looking at Ye Chen with excitement.

When he came in earlier, he noticed Ye Chen mainly because everyone present dressed very formally, while this man dressed casually and plainly.

Entering a Western restaurant requires dressing decently, that’s the most basic etiquette.

Ye Chen smiled and nodded at him, then said, ”Hello, old classmate. I was just thinking if this person who can pretend so much was my university classmate, but I really don’t have much of an impression of him.”

Zhan Hua still had a smile on his face, but inside he was very angry.

On such occasions, he definitely had to maintain a gentlemanly demeanor; otherwise, it would damage the reputation of Iris if it spread out.

”Ye Chen, you haven’t changed, still so humorous and witty.” Zhan Hua said with a smile.

”Robin, you and Ye Chen are university classmates? This world is truly amazing, I never thought you two would know each other.” Li Yan said with a face of surprise.

”Yes, you don’t know, back in university, Ye Chen rarely hung out with us, always in the library or the classroom, very diligent, unlike us who only knew how to play, right Ye Chen.” Zhan Hua’s thoughts seemed to drift back to the past.

Ye Chen ignored him. In fact, Zhan Hua and he had been at odds since university.

Actually, it wasn’t Ye Chen’s fault; it was mainly because he was too handsome and talented, had excellent grades, and the girls liked to gather around him.

In contrast, Zhan Hua was fat and ugly during university, no girl wanted to talk to him.

The two of them were originally good friends in university, but they fell out because of a girl.

Ye Chen didn’t mind, but Zhan Hua always harbored resentment and bore a grudge.

This time, it was a perfect opportunity.

However, Zhan Hua wasn’t an impulsive person, after all, they hadn’t been in touch for so many years, and no one knew what Ye Chen was doing now.

The current Zhan Hua, after several years of experience, was no longer shallow. He knew he couldn’t simply judge a person’s identity based on their attire.

If Ye Chen had a high status, Zhan Hua would befriend him.

But if Ye Chen’s current job wasn’t good, he would certainly taunt him to get back at him.

”By the way, Ye Chen, where are you working now? I remember after you graduated you went to a state-owned enterprise, are you still working there?” Zhan Hua asked tentatively.

”I resigned a long time ago.” Ye Chen said calmly.

”Oh, what about now?” Zhan Hua asked again.

Ye Chen didn’t pay him any attention and flipped through the news on his phone.

Zhan Hua was suspicious in his heart, the more Ye Chen acted like this, the more he felt something was strange.

It seemed that this guy’s job wasn’t very good, now he could finally taunt Ye Chen.

”Robin, I just heard from a friend that Brother Ye is a delivery guy.” Li Yan looked at Ye Chen with a mocking face.

”A delivery guy?”

Li Yan’s friends also showed incredulous expressions when they heard this.

How could a delivery guy qualify to sit with them?

”Young Master Li, what do you mean by this, how can you let a delivery guy dine with us, if this gets out it would lower our status?” Zhou Kai said with annoyance.

”I just found out.” Li Yan pretended to be wronged and said.

In fact, he had already checked Ye Chen’s identity just now, he wanted this effect, to make Ye Chen feel utterly humiliated in front of everyone.

”All of you shut up, disrespecting my old classmate is not giving me face.” Zhan Hua said hypocritically.

”Ye Chen, don’t pay attention to them, they are all narrow-minded people. There’s no high or low in work, as long as you earn your living with your own hands, there’s nothing to laugh at, don’t you agree?”

Zhan Hua said looking at Ye Chen, but inside he was already overjoyed.

”Ye Chen, oh Ye Chen, I never thought you would be doing so poorly now. You were so arrogant and aloof in university, and now look at you, a delivery guy, truly the heavens have eyes.”
