As a city center, Chengdu was a crowded place.
Hence, at a crowded area like the entrance of the train station, the convoy seemed to garner much attention.
At that moment, they arrived at their stop.
Chen Hao stood up to stretch and brought Su Ziyue along with Mr. Qin off the train.
This time, however, Chen Hao ignored Hu Huimin and the others when he walked past them.
He did not bother greeting them at all.
âHmph! What an attitude! Itâs not like I want to greet you either!â
Hu Huimin didnât expect Chen Hao to be this wilful and went as far as not greeting her anymore.
Indeed, Hu Huimin had a strong sense of superiority. She could ignore a person if they greeted her; if they didnât, especially if they were someone like Chen Hao, she would feel humiliated as if she had been treated unfairly.
Alas, it didnât matter anyway. The lot then got down from the train one after another.
âJunwen, didnât you say that someone will pick us up when we reach?â Hu Huimin asked.
The few of them walked out together and looked around their surroundings.
Beep beep!
Just then, a Land Rover drove over and honked.
The car window was rolled down right after, and a handsome young man greeted Shen Junwen.
âJunwen, over here!â
âWang Jian!â
Shen Junwen waved his hands.
âWow, it's a Land Rover! Junwen, what does your friend do?â the girls next to him couldnât help but ask.
âWe were classmates back in the police academy. However, he took a different route and went to inherit his fatherâs company after he graduated, haha!â Shen Junwen explained.
The girls looked at Shen Junwen with admiration.
Why do outstanding people always flock together?
âBy the way Huimin, didnât you say that your high school best friend from Chengdu is coming over to get us? If we leave now, wouldnât they come for nothing?â one of the girls asked.
âHuimin, how are your high school buddies doing now? Didnât you say that they became entrepreneurs?â
Shen Junwen asked while heading toward the car.
âYeah, back then the few of us represented our high school in competitions, quite a few of the capable ones came over to Chengdu. Since our mission only starts after a few days, I might want to hang out with them before that! But then again, they canât ever compare to your friend Wang Jian!â Hu Huimin noted sourly.
Then, the bunch of them headed toward the car and started introducing themselves.
Beep beep!
They heard another series of honking.
A BMW 5 Series drove over.
The car window rolled down, revealing a couple in the front seats.
They waved at Hu Huimin. âHey, Huimin!â
âWang Wen! Liang Meng!â Hu Huimin greeted them cheerfully.
Seeing how Hu Huiminâs friends came over in a luxurious car made the two girls by her side envious.
After all, they had only a handful of friends from school and most of them didnât stay in contact anymore.
They then went through another round of awkward introductions.
There was much more to talk about between successful people.
âHuimin, I havenât seen you in a while now. I missed you so much! We can finally have a proper gathering!â
Wang Wen, the pretty girl, held onto Hu Huiminâs hand and said chirpily.
âHuh?â
Suddenly, Wang Wen was stunned upon seeing the person behind Hu Huimin.
âI-I-Isnât that Chen Hao? Is this for real?â
Wang Wen stared at Chen Hao and the others who were walking out from the train station.
They were carrying a bunch of luggages.
âHmph! Of course itâs him!â Hu Huimin said, annoyed.
âChen Hao!â
Wang Wen suddenly called out.
Chen Hao was surprised. Did someone just call for me?
He turned back and saw Wang Wen and Liang Meng.
They werenât close during junior high. Other than occasionally talking during a competition, they never contacted each other privately too. However, Chen Haoâs relationship with Wang Wen was quite alright.
As for Liang Meng, he came from a wealthy background. Naturally, he rarely talked to Chen Hao.
However, he was close to Hu Huimin and the others.
Right then, Chen Hao walked over feeling slightly surprised and happy.
âWang Wen and Liang Meng? Is that you guys?â
After all, Chen Hao was enthusiastic that he was reunited with his old schoolmates.
Liang Meng sized Chen Hao up before nodding his head in disdain as a form of greeting.
On the other hand, Wang Wen happily hopped over and patted Chen Haoâs shoulders.
âHey, Chen Hao! I havenât seen you in such a long time. You never bothered to contact us too!â
During a competition back then, both Chen Hao and Wang Wen were assigned as a team and they managed to place. Hence, both of them were closer from being teammates.
âYeah, we havenât seen each other for a while now!â Chen Hao reminisced.
âOh yeah, Chen Hao! Is that pretty girl your girlfriend along with your relative? Where are you guys heading? Let Liang Meng and I give you guys a ride!â Wang Wen offered.
âI still need to fetch someone later though!â Liang Meng chided in.
Wang Wenâs smile faltered a little as she awkwardly tried to change the topic. âBy the way, Huimin, Chen Hao, I donât think you guys know this yet, but Liang Meng and I are getting married soon! Iâm already three months pregnant too!â
âWow, really? Congratulations!â Hu Huimin congratulated her and laughed along.
It wasnât clear what went through her mind but she sneaked a look at Chen Haoâs reaction.
It was as if she just had to see Chen Haoâs expression when he couldnât compare to others, so that she could be happy.
âHuh? I did not see that just now! What the f*ck? Look at that convoy!â
Wang Jian suddenly pointed in a direction.
âHuh? Yeah, there are so many luxury cars!â
The girls looked over and exclaimed in admiration.
âThe leader is Zhu Ming, President Zhu of the famous enterprise in this city, isn't he?â Liang Meng recognized him and asked in shock.
âWow, itâs really President Zhu! Thatâs weird though. Why would such an important person come over to fetch others? I remember my dad bringing me to a large business conference when I was a kid. Back then, I was immature. Running and messing around, I almost knocked into him! He even patted my head!â Wang Jian boasted proudly.
âIâll go over and greet them. I saw one of the managers who is friends with my dad standing with President Zhu too!â Wang Jian said and headed over.
Everyone looked at him in awe.
They watched as Wang Jian greeted and made small talk with the manager for a few moments before heading back here.
âHowâd it go, Wang Jian?â Shen Junwen asked in awe.
âI just greeted him, hehe! They all apparently came over to pick up some big boss so we didnât talk much. However, President Zhu did look at me just now but I didnât dare to greet him!â
Everyone chatted excitedly.
Chen Hao felt awkward standing there, so he left after bidding Wang Wen goodbye.
Wang Wen did not persuade him to stay too as it would indeed be awkward if Chen Hao continued staying with them.
âHm, this is weird. Why isnât Young Master Chen here yet?â
On the other side, Zhu Ming glanced at his watch. He was so nervous that his forehead was covered with sweat.
In fact, Li Zhenguo did not arrange for Zhu Ming to pick up Young Master Chen. He only informed Zhu Ming that Young Master Chen would be arriving today, so he should stand by and wait for Young Master Chen's call anytime.
After all, Chen Hao ordered them to not make a big deal out of it.
However, Zhu Ming took his mindless words seriously.
He didnât dare to neglect any small details.
But, there was still no sight of him after waiting for so long.
On the other hand, Chen Hao booked the three of them a hotel for the night when he noticed that it was already late.
Just when he finished settling everything, his phone suddenly rang...
