"Brother Fan, what are you thinking about? How could we afford to dine at the Sky Restaurant? It's our Jiang Hao who's treating this time."
"So he's treating. I was wondering when our classmates became so wealthy," Chen Fan realized. Everyone knew Jiang Hao came from a well-off family. He had also been one of Li Mengyao's suitors.
Later, Li Mengyao chose Chen Fan, which led to many confrontations between Jiang Hao and him at school.
"How many of our classmates are attending the gathering?" Chen Fan asked.
"Not many were supposed to come, but when they heard Jiang Hao was treating and it was at the Sky Restaurant, almost everyone showed up. However, Xiao Ran from our class seems to be injured, quite seriously, so he can't make it. And then there's Li Mengyao. Brother Fan, what's going on with Li Mengyao? She changed her number and we can't reach her at all."
Chen Fan replied, "She went back to her hometown."
"Oh, Brother Fan, I heard you two broke up. Don't do anything rash."
"Heh, do you think your Brother Fan is that fragile? Don't think so poorly of me," Chen Fan chuckled.
"As long as you're okay, tomorrow I'll have a few more drinks with you. Women, you can always find another one after losing one. Look at me, I always move through a sea of flowers without getting a single petal stuck to me."
Chen Fan was speechless, "You're a scumbag, I don't want to be like you."
"What's wrong with being a scumbag? Brother Fan, you don't understand the joy of being a scumbag. When your emotional life is as rich as mine, you'll know my happiness."
"I still have work. We'll talk tomorrow," Chen Fan said, a headache forming, too lazy to continue bantering with Ma Jun.
After hanging up, Chen Fan smiled helplessly and suddenly began to miss his school days.
The next afternoon, after giving Xiao Ling'er acupuncture, Chen Fan drove directly to the Sky Restaurant.
Meanwhile, Qin Shuran was scheduled to have dinner with Liu Qianze today. She wanted to take this opportunity to inquire about the progress of the broken engagement.
In the parking lot below the Sky Restaurant.
A group of people, about twenty or so, Chen Fan's college classmates, stood there chatting and laughing.
"Vroom!"
Just then, a Mercedes-Benz pulled up in front of them.
The car door opened, and several young men stepped out. The driver was Jiang Hao, who was hosting the gathering today.
"Jiang Hao? My god, you're driving a Mercedes now?!" some classmates exclaimed in shock.
Many classmates also cast envious glances at Jiang Hao.
Instantly becoming the center of attention, Jiang Hao smirked with satisfaction, "I bought it a few days ago. I was thinking of getting an S-Class or a BMW 7 Series, but then I thought, a car like that might not be suitable for my age. So I bought a Mercedes E-Class. It's not expensive, only four to five hundred thousand. I wouldn't feel bad if it got damaged."
"Good heavens, Jiang Hao, four to five hundred thousand isn't expensive?" a female classmate's eyes widened.
"Jiang Hao, I probably couldn't afford such a luxury car even if I worked my whole life. And you say it's not expensive."
"A Mercedes E-Class is already very good. For our age, how many can afford such a luxury car? In our class, it's probably only Jiang Hao."
"Of course, Jiang Hao is the richest in our class. If he wasn't treating, would we be able to eat at such a luxurious place?"
"This is my first time at the Sky Restaurant. I heard they don't allow people in sloppy attire, so I specifically found a white shirt to wear."
"Haha, if you hadn't said it, I would have thought our graduating doctor had gone into insurance sales."
The crowd burst into laughter.
Hearing his classmates' compliments, Jiang Hao was quite pleased.
He then looked at Ma Jun, "Ma Jun, are all our classmates here? The classmates are eager to eat at the Sky Restaurant."
Ma Jun scanned the surroundings, "It seems our class monitor hasn't arrived yet."
"Chen Fan?"
"He probably feels embarrassed to come since Jiang Hao is paying today, right?"
"Do you even need to ask? Back in school, Class Monitor Chen often threw his weight around. Knowing Jiang Hao is treating today, how could he have the face to show up?"
"Maybe he's on a bus right now, after all, we're eating at the Sky Restaurant today."
Three young men who had alighted from Jiang Hao's car sneered dismissively.
Mentioning Chen Fan, Jiang Hao showed a hint of amusement, "We're all classmates, you should say less. Besides, our class monitor was a top student back then. In the teachers' eyes, he was a good student."
Then, as if casually, he asked, "By the way, where did our class monitor do his internship? City First Hospital, or Second Hospital?"
A young man standing nearby replied with a smile, "What First Hospital or Second Hospital? Jiang Hao, don't you know our class monitor was assigned to the city's psychiatric hospital for his internship? And he became the only surgeon there."
"What? A psychiatric hospital? And a surgeon there?" Jiang Hao feigned exaggerated surprise.
Ma Jun stood by, his brow furrowed slightly, speaking up for Chen Fan, "Chen Fan was so outstanding in school, I believe he can shine anywhere."
"Pfft!" Jiang Hao and the others couldn't help but laugh again.
"Ma Jun, I know you and Chen Fan are roommates and have the best relationship, but you need to understand reality. Given his current situation, is he planning to shine in a psychiatric hospital?" Da Feng Novel Network
Jiang Hao mocked, "Perhaps our class monitor will become the most outstanding surgeon in the psychiatric hospital."
The surrounding crowd burst into laughter, "Hahaha! Isn't he the only surgeon in the psychiatric hospital? He's the most outstanding right after his internship. As expected of our class monitor."
"Um, let's go eat quickly. If Chen Fan doesn't come, so be it." Du Jiaojiao and a few others standing nearby looked flustered hearing them mock Chen Fan so much.
Jiang Hao waved his hand, wiping away tears of laughter, "Alright, alright, let's not waste our precious time over someone who's going to shine. After dinner, we'll go to KTV to sing. We won't stop until we're drunk."
"Okay! Not until we're drunk!"
Saying this, the group was about to head towards the first-floor lobby of the Sky Restaurant to take the elevator.
"Vroom!"
However, at that moment, a BMW drove into the parking lot and stopped right beside Jiang Hao and his group.
The sudden arrival of the BMW startled everyone, and they looked towards the driver's seat.
"Huh? That person looks a bit like Chen Fan."
"Chen Fan? How is that possible? He might still be taking the bus, how could he afford a BMW?"
"Exactly, you must have seen wrong."
Just then, the car door opened, and a figure emerged from the driver's seat.
"Brother Fan!" Seeing the figure, Ma Jun suddenly shouted and ran towards the BMW.
The person who got out of the car was none other than Chen Fan, the very person they had been mocking and discussing!
