"What?" Zhang Menglong's unabashed retort caught everyone off guard; they hadn't expected his attitude to be so strong, especially since the reunion had just begun, and the thick smell of gunpowder was already wafting through the air. "Awesome, Zhang!" Those classmates were uncomfortable while they were constantly flattering before, but now they felt a mix of sourness and relief. "We can't just pamper him, can we?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I didn't come here to see them; it's mainly for us to catch up properly! "Hahaha, you're right, as long as we aren't awkward, they are the awkward ones," Sun Yulei said. "Zhang Menglong, what do you mean by that?" "You come here to eat and drink for free, so why the attitude like someone owes you something?" "Exactly! Lu, General Manager, is cherishing our classmates' friendship by paying for this, and by acting this way, you're just ruining the harmony in the class!" "Hey, we're all classmates, there's no need to be so confrontational!" Although Lu Xuchao was quite annoyed, he couldn't show it in front of so many people; he had to maintain a perfect image, and at that moment, he had to promote his own moral excellence. "It's understandable that Menglong has been upset recently since he faced so many rejections while job hunting; let's not force him to drink." "Menglong," Lu Xuchao walked up to Zhang Menglong and clapped him on the shoulder, "though I just joined the company, I do have some connections. If you're interested, I could refer you internally. With your skills, you should have a chance to join Unicorn Technologies." "That's so magnanimous of General Manager Lu!" "Unlike some people, who are just clueless." Suddenly, envious and jealous glances converged on Zhang Menglong. Just getting into Unicorn Technologies, even at a P5 level, was far better than being a common wage earner! "Thanks, but I don't need it right now," Zhang Menglong flatly refused Lu Xuchao, knowing exactly what was on his mind. "No problem, the fall recruitment isn't over yet, take your time!" Lu Xuchao's face had already turned somewhat ugly. For some reason, he was confident he could dominate over Zhang Menglong today, but there was an inexplicable confidence emanating from Zhang Menglong. "It must be my imagination!" "Waiter, let's start!" The party had just begun, and now Lu Xuchao had already become the center of attention. He no longer cared about Zhang Menglong; after all, they were not from the same world anymore, so why should he dwell on it? "Everyone, let loose and have fun today, I'm paying!" Lu Xuchao shouted. That statement immediately revived the somewhat awkward atmosphere. Before long, beautifully wrapped bottles of red wine and several trolleys were rolled in. "Wait a minute!" Lu Xuchao's gaze suddenly fell on the wines, "What is this?" "Sir, this is Romanée-Conti from 2005," the waiter politely responded. "Damn! Romanée-Conti? Did I hear that right?" "Is this wine expensive?" "Not just expensive, it's legendary in the world of wine! My god, just these ten bottles must be over a hundred thousand, right?" "Mr. Zhang, this place seems a bit small. How about I change the venue for you? We always have a VIP venue reserved for you here." "Oh? There's such a thing?" Zhang Menglong looked around. The place wasn't actually small, but to accommodate more than thirty people, it indeed was a bit cramped, "That would be great, thank you." "No trouble, no trouble at all!" The chubby man smiled broadly, personally leading them to the so-called VIP venue. This VIP venue was located on the top floor of the hotel, a rooftop design from where one could even see a panoramic view of the entire wetland landscape. Not only that, there was a swimming pool, a dance floor, and all sorts of musical instruments. It was truly a massive party scene! "Not bad at all." Zhang Menglong nodded in satisfaction. "Mr. Zhang, if you have any other requests, just let me know. I will make sure everything is taken care of." "Hahaha, no need, it's rare to gather with classmates, I will pay for all expenses tonight!" Zhang Menglong chuckled. "What?" The manager was stunned for a moment. The hotel was your property, what difference did it make whether you paid the bill or not? "Mr. Zhang, why would you need to pay when you are consuming at your own hotel?" "Oh, that's right." Zhang Menglong also felt a bit awkward. "This... this hotel is your property?" Zhang Menglong's roommates were dumbfounded. This was an international chain of five-star hotels, not some roadside diner! "I told you I inherited a fortune, now do you believe me?" Zhang Menglong shrugged. "How is this possible?" Lu Xuchao's face turned from green to purple. This hotel was Zhang Menglong's property, he had such a fortune and still looked for jobs and worked? As for the other classmates, their expressions were even more vivid. They had been classmates for over three years and only now did they find out that Zhang Menglong was an unequivocal rich man! They had just been troubling Zhang Menglong earlier to flatter Lu Xuchao. Suddenly, everyone wanted to find a crevice to crawl into. "Well then, let's do this, I'll take care of the expenses for the entire hotel today!" Zhang Menglong directly handed a card to the manager, "The money that should be collected has to be collected since the hotel still has to operate!" "Yes, Mr. Zhang, I understand." Although the hotel's daily turnover was terrifying, he knew that as the owner of this hotel chain, Zhang Menglong's wealth was even more formidable, and he did not need to worry about him. Moments later, the background music in all private rooms and venues of the entire hotel was turned down, and a somewhat excited voice suddenly echoed throughout the Lofitte Hotel. "Dear guests, tonight's expenses for the entire venue will be covered by Mr. Zhang from the VIP venue, let's cheer for him!" Instantly, the entire hotel became deadly quiet, and guests holding chopsticks had a blank expression, unsure where to look. But after the moment of silence, a wave of loud noises suddenly erupted. "Holy shit! What's happening?" "Are you kidding? Just a private room at Lofitte Hotel costs tens of thousands, plus those special event venues, without millions, who can cover it all?" "Awesome! Big spender! Where is the VIP venue? I want to pay my respects!" "Rich or not, doesn't matter. Mainly I like making friends, I want to go meet this Mr. Zhang." "Mr. Zhang? Zhang Wujie?" ...
