Chapter 57: Chapter 55: Old Friend Ye Feng said, "Old Zheng, just come with us..." Zheng Yonggang nodded his head, and then the three of them got into Zhao Ziming’s car and headed towards Hongyu Restaurant together. Hongyu Restaurant is ranked among the top three restaurants in Lin Tian City. It attracts many patrons every day, and people host wedding banquets there as well. As Ye Feng and his friends arrived at the parking lot and got out of the car, they heard someone shouting, "Zhao Ziming, over here, come quick!" At the parking lot entrance, there was a group of people about the same age as Ye Feng, all in their mid-twenties. But Ye Feng looked much younger than the rest, barely twenty-one or twenty-two at the most. At that moment, a woman in professional attire, high heels, and black-framed glasses stepped forward, smiling at Zhao Ziming, "Our Manager Zhao has finally arrived; we’ve been waiting so hard for you!" "Haha, Li Ling, you’re joking, what manager? Just a little head of security, right?" Zhao Ziming shook his head, and Li Ling laughed, "The Lin Group, our Lin Tian City’s top conglomerate’s manager, with an annual salary of over a million, isn’t that a big deal?" Li Ling was their high school class president, and now she had become the organizer, setting the tone for the classmates’ reunion. After all, it had been over eight years since they had seen each other, and there were gaps and awkwardness among classmates; having someone like this was very important. Just then, Li Ling’s gaze turned puzzled as she looked at Ye Feng and Zheng Yonggang, "These two are... they look so familiar?" "That’s Ye Feng! As for him, he’s one of our good friends. You’ve all brought boyfriends and girlfriends, right? Since we didn’t have any, we had to find a friend to keep us company, you guys don’t mind, right?" Zhao Ziming said with a smile. "Not at all, not at all... Oh, it really is Ye Feng!" Li Ling expressed her surprise. The people around also looked at Ye Feng with astonishment; even though he had changed a lot over the years, his facial contours and features had remained mostly the same. If anything, he’d just matured and become even more handsomely imposing! Especially that towering warrior-like stature that made Ye Feng stand out even more. "Honk honk..." Just then, a BMW I8 and a BMW M3 drove up in front of everyone and honked their horns. People immediately showed annoyance in their eyes, complaining, "Does this guy have no manners? It’s not that great to own two fancy cars. What’s with honking? Hasn’t he ever touched a horn before?" The window of the car rolled down, and a young man in a white shirt and sunglasses said from the BMW I8, "Classmates, long time no see!" "Tao Jun, it’s you!" When everyone saw the man, the annoyance vanished from their faces, replaced with enthusiasm. Tao Jun smiled, then got out of the car and walked over to the passenger side, opened the door, and said, "It’s not just me; take a look, who’s this?" A tall and fair woman with big wavy hair stepped out of the car, "Li Rong!" Seeing the woman, everyone got excited. Li Rong was the school beauty back then, also the beauty of their class, and the dream girl for countless male students. Now everyone was around twenty-five years old, nearly twenty-seven for some, But Li Rong still looked very young, almost like a girl under twenty. "It’s not just them, I’m here too!" At that moment, another young man, less than one meter seventy, small but stocky, stepped out of the BMW M3. "Su Fan!" Everyone recognized him immediately. Back in high school, Tao Jun was the top second-generation rich kid in Ye Feng’s class, his family had a business with over a billion in assets, and Su Fan was Tao Jun’s lackey, almost always at his side. It was unexpected that after eight years, Su Fan was still the same, still Tao Jun’s lackey. "Su Fan, not bad, you’re driving a car worth a million now, you’re doing well!" People looked at Su Fan with envy. Su Fan laughed heartily, extremely pleased with himself, and didn’t forget to flatter Tao Jun, "It’s all thanks to Young Master Jun taking care of me, letting me earn a million or so a year, buying a car isn’t stressful at all!" People nodded, "Su Fan, you really knew whom to follow. We should have stuck with Young Master Jun like you, then we wouldn’t be in this state now!" At this moment, Tao Jun and Li Rong had almost become the focus of the entire place, and no one was paying attention to Ye Feng and the others. After a while, everyone moved into the restaurant and took their seats. Once the dishes were served, Tao Jun stood up first, "Come on, everyone, I’d like to offer a toast to wish you all good health and a flourishing career!" Then, everyone stood up, raising their glasses. Only two people were an exception, one of them naturally being Ye Feng, and the other was Zheng Yonggang. Zheng Yonggang had not taken a seat but instead followed behind Ye Feng like a bodyguard. Ye Feng had asked Zheng Yonggang to sit down and eat together, but Zheng Yonggang declined, saying it wasn’t appropriate and that he preferred to stay behind Ye Feng. Ye Feng, resignedly, wished he hadn’t let Zheng Yonggang come along. Everyone raised their glasses, but only Ye Feng was busy eating. Immediately, both Su Fan and Tao Jun frowned, even Li Rong’s eyes showed a hint of displeasure. Tao Jun was offering toasts, but now Ye Feng was just eating on his own. To everyone, this clearly seemed like he was snubbing Tao Jun, making him very annoyed. "Ye Feng, Ye Feng, stop eating, it’s time for the toast!" Zhao Ziming felt helpless and tugged at Ye Feng. Ye Feng looked up, his expression indifferent, and said, "It’s fine, I don’t drink. You guys go ahead..." With that, Ye Feng continued to eat, head down. The food indeed had that taste he remembered from high school, which moved him, and he found himself immersed in it, unable to stop. Ye Feng refused to drink, and Tao Jun’s eyes flashed with anger and a cold sneer, "Ye Feng, we old classmates finally get together, and you’re not joining us for a drink. Is it that my drink isn’t good enough, or am I not to your liking?" With an unchanged expression, Ye Feng said, "As for the people, I have no comment. The food is indeed delicious. As for the drink, to bring out such trash and expect me to drink it—I can’t swallow it!"
