CHAPTER 1045 WE SHOULD BE HONEST

"You've seen me before?" Gao Xin was stunned. She wanted to say that he must have seen her because she was very successful, but she had suddenly forgotten to say so.

"When I was a beggar, someone that resembled you once snatched a bun from me," said Jiang Ning calmly as he smiled. "If Auntie wasn't dressed in all this splendor, I almost thought it was you." owns all © content.

Gao Xin was stunned.

Did she fight with Jiang Ning in the streets for a bun?

Nonsense!

How could she have snatched someone else's bun out in the street?

"How can that be? I..."

"Yes, you're right. How is that possible?" said Jiang Ning. "Which man would allow such a pretty woman like Auntie Gao to suffer like that?"

Before Gao Xin could respond, Jiang Ning added another statement which made Gao Xin feel like ignoring him.

Jiang Ning was clearly trying to say that she divorced her ex-husband because he was broke, and that was why she schemed to marry a wealthy man.

He was chiding her for being materialistic!

Gao Xin smiled awkwardly on the outside, but displeasure flashed deep in her eyes. She guessed that Su Mei must have said a lot of nasty things about her.

"Come on in then," said Gao Xin as she quickly changed the subject of the conversation, "Su Mei, all our other classmates are here. I'm sure they will be dazzled by your outfit today. Everyone brought their kids to see if they can matchmake any of them today. Yuzhen is so pretty..."

Gao Xin pulled Su Mei inside and spoke as they walked.

Those who didn't know anything would have thought they were particularly close friends.

Jiang Ning held Lin Yuzhen's hand and saw her stifling a smile. He said solemnly, "You have to be serious. We have to make Mum proud today. So we can't lose!

"Okay," said Lin Yuzhen as she inhaled deeply and thought to herself: When had this fellow ever lost?

The hotel venue was posh and clearly exquisitely decorated.

There were some tables for the old classmates and others for their children. Lin Yuzhen didn't dare to even think about coming to such gatherings. So she merely found a seat and sat down with Jiang Ning. At the table, everyone was starting to introduce themselves.

"Hello, I am Li Run's son, Li Xiang. I'm the General Manager of Starfish Limited.”

"Hi, everyone! I'm the head of marketing at Sunshine Corporation. My name is Gao Qi and here is my name card."

"I work for the customs..."

Despite the amicable introductions, there was some arrogance in the way each of them spoke.

Anyone who dared to come along today were those with a good job and high income. Those ordinary ones would be too embarrassed to come.

When everyone was through with their introduction, they turned to look at Jiang Ning and Lin Yuzhen.

Before Lin Yuzhen introduced herself, Jiang Ning said, "I'm jobless."

With a single sentence, he instantly killed all interest in him.

He was jobless?

So he had come here for a free meal today?

Someone couldn't help laughing. No words were exchanged but there was disdain in that laughter. He was even a little curious about whose offspring this unemployed man was, and how he could be so calm about it.

Lin Yuzhen secretly glanced at Jiang Ning. Then she reached her hand out to poke his hand as if to ask, "Didn't we agree to make our mother proud today?"

Even if he said that he was the vice president of Lin Group, nobody would dare to say that he wasn't.

Jiang Ning gave her a look in return as if to say, "We should be honest people."

"There seems to be a lot of upheavals in the market today, especially in Shenghai and the north. Have you heard anything?"

"There's a company called Lin Group that runs on a completely different business model from the other companies. They surprisingly don't care about profit. It's just mind-boggling."

"Yes, exactly. But not a lot of people know about them. I only heard a few things here and there too. They are too mysterious." When Lin Yuzhen heard them discussing Lin Group, she pricked her ears

up to listen. But it was clear that the people present were too low level to know anything at all.

"How can they survive without any profit? I think they are just selling the concept to make a killing and run off with the money. Aren't there plenty of such companies out there just like that?"
