Chapter 772: An Old Classmate Made It Big
Early the next morning, on the road to Luocheng.
Chen Fan was driving, with Su Ruochu sitting in the passenger seat.
Behind them was another car, driven by Guo Shuai.
Guo Shuai didn't actually have such deep feelings for their homeroom teacher, Teacher Wang.
After all, back in high school, Teacher Wang had beaten him quite often.
However, at a time like this, when Chen Fan and Su Ruochu were going back, Guo Shuai definitely had to follow.
To save time, the 3 of them hadn't even eaten breakfast.
They stopped halfway to find a place where Guo Shuai went to buy xiaolongbao and millet porridge to bring over.
Chen Fan only drank a cup of millet porridge before continuing on the road.
This trip back was too rushed, Chen Fan had only made a phone call home to mention it, and yesterday he had briefly instructed a few people at the company.
The boss not being able to attend the company's annual meeting was an issue that could be big or small.
After all, many employees had worked hard rehearsing their performances for so long, of course hoping the boss could see them.
Ding Dian suggested maybe postponing the annual meeting by 1 or 2 days, but Chen Fan thought about it and ultimately refused.
The previous schedule had all been set, the hotel had been booked for specific dates, and if it was postponed by a day, many things would have to be disrupted and redone.
Chen Fan felt it wasn't necessary.
He instructed the management team to maintain good order, saying the annual meeting only had one theme, not to leave out any employee, and to make sure everyone ate and drank well.
As for Chen Fan, he would try his best to rush back.
By the time they reached Luocheng, it was already past 9 in the morning.
With no time to go home, they drove directly to the funeral home.
Before arriving, Guo Shuai had already asked in the group chat, besides the 3 of them, several other classmates would also attend the farewell ceremony.
At the funeral home.
Quite a few people were already standing at the entrance of the hall.
Among them were classmates from Chen Fan and Guo Shuai's class.
Additionally, there were students from other classes that Teacher Wang had taught. The crowd standing outside was noisy, with about 30-40 people.
The women gathered together to gossip, while the men were either smoking or chatting.
For these students, this was also an opportunity for socializing.
So many years after graduation, many people hadn't seen each other for years. Meeting again gave them a feeling of being worlds apart.
Inside the hall, Teacher Wang's family and relatives were still arranging the memorial hall and preparing for the final ceremony.
Outside, a group of students were chatting idly. The women's topics were often about who from which class had married whom. Who had gotten divorced, who had married a rich person...
If not that, then it was about who had children, whose marriage wasn't going well. Besides marriage, they also talked about cosmetics, the branded clothes they wore, bags and jewelry...
The men's topics were more simple and direct - discussing careers, work, women.
Of course, they also had to smile and chat about the female classmates across from them, like how someone had become beautiful after graduation, and if only they had made a move back in school...
Huang Hu was naturally the most successful among them.
Back then, he was the class monitor and quite handsome. After graduation, he directly became a civil servant and found a wife with connections.
Most importantly, Huang Hu had come in a BMW.
He was truly a winner in life.
While listening to the compliments from classmates around him, Huang Hu's gaze secretly assessed the female classmates opposite.
Back in school, he couldn't get anywhere with them, but unexpectedly after graduation, many of the girls had become increasingly charming after becoming married women.
He was considering whether to organize a reunion later, and see if there was a chance to sleep with one of them.
Actually, Huang Hu was already quite experienced with this kind of thing.
In these 2 years, using his status and background, he had already slept with several female classmates behind his tigress wife's back.
They were all adults now, and when life wasn't satisfactory, occasionally letting off some steam was very normal to him.
This was also the reason he had come here today.
You should know he didn't have such deep feelings for Teacher Wang.
"Oh? More people are coming?"
A female student suddenly called out in surprise.
"Damn! A Range Rover. That's someone rich."
A male student suddenly burst out with crude language.
"Did one of our classmates get rich?"
You should know that in Luocheng, as a small county city, university graduates who could test out were still a minority.
Most classmates who graduated and came back found ordinary jobs, earning monthly salaries of 1,000-2,000 yuan. Forget about buying houses or cars, being able to support themselves was already not bad.
People like Huang Hu who could drive a BMW right after graduation were the minority.
Now suddenly someone came in a Range Rover, how could they not be shocked?
"Who is it? Who's so rich?"
"Don't know. According to the group chat count, basically all the classmates who were coming today are already here."
"Could it be senior brothers or sisters from previous years?"
"Let's wait and see..."
Just as everyone was whispering and discussing with gossipy expressions, two cars drove into the funeral home one after another, found parking spots, and parked.
Guo Shuai was the first to get out, stomping his feet, quite proud of returning home in glory.
Chen Fan opened the door and held Su Ruochu's hand as they got out. Suddenly there was an exclamation from the distance.
"Damn. Is that Chen Fan?"
"Is it Chen Fan?"
"He's actually driving a Range Rover?"
Chen Fan's sudden appearance dropped many jaws.
"How did the 3 of them come? When counting in the group chat yesterday, they didn't sign up, did they?"
"Forget not signing up, Chen Fan wasn't even in our class group chat."
"Everyone, is this the point? Isn't the point that Chen Fan came in a luxury car?"
The men were dumbfounded, faces full of shock.
The women's emotions were relatively simpler, their eyes were gleaming as they looked Chen Fan and Su Ruochu up and down, full of gossipy enthusiasm.
"Those two actually ended up together?"
"They've been together for a long time, I remember they seemed to get together at the graduation gathering after the college entrance exam."
"That's been 5 or 6 years until now? They've actually lasted so long?"
"Please. Haven't you seen Chen Fan is driving a luxury car? If it were you, would you be willing to break up with him?"
"Su Ruochu had good vision, she saw that Chen Fan wasn't ordinary back in school."
"I remember they were deskmates back in school, weren't they? Tsk tsk..."
This was a case of information asymmetry. Although they were all high school classmates, after going to university everyone went their separate ways. Even though Chen Fan became increasingly famous online afterwards.
But many classmates, even if they saw it, wouldn't connect it to their old classmate.
Additionally, Chen Fan had always been very low-key since university. There were many news stories and gossip about him online, but very few photos, which also led to everyone completely failing to realize their old classmate had actually made it big.
Huang Hu watched as Chen Fan held Su Ruochu's hand walking towards them, his eyes gradually narrowing.
This guy was petty, and even now hadn't forgotten Chen Fan's humiliation of him at the gathering back then.
His gaze fixed firmly on Su Ruochu. After not seeing her for several years, Su Ruochu was now even more gorgeous than before, beautiful beyond compare.
Huang Hu hated it even more.
If it wasn't for Chen Fan back then, Su Ruochu would have been his woman.
It was because of Chen Fan's interference that such a beautiful cabbage was eaten by a pig.
