A few people chatted aimlessly about their middle school days when suddenly, the roar of a sports car echoed through the street. The piercing sound naturally drew everyone's attention, and they turned to see a blue Porsche slowly turning into the school entrance, finally stopping in front of a group from another class.
A tall man stepped out of the car, dressed in a black trench coat and wearing sunglasses, looking quite handsome.
"Who is that? Driving a sports car? That must cost millions!" one person exclaimed.
"I bet it's just the base model of the Porsche, only worth a few hundred thousand," another replied.
"No way, that's a Porsche 911. Even the lowest model costs over a hundred thousand when it’s new. Of course, if it's second-hand, it might be cheaper," someone corrected.
"Even if it's second-hand, I think anyone who can drive a sports car is impressive. I remember him; isn’t he that guy from Class Six? He used to be a bit of a troublemaker, what was his name? Chao?"
"Chen Chaoyue, right?"
"Yeah, that's him! I remember back then he was chasing after Jiang Jiewen from their class. In the end, her dad found out and came to school to give him a good talking-to. Jiang Jiewen's dad is a police officer!"
"That did happen! Speaking of Jiang Jiewen, she was my goddess in middle school. I wonder what she's up to now? She’s probably married by now."
"I heard Class Six is having a reunion today; she should be coming too. I heard she got into Jinling University and must be doing really well now. A beauty like her must have had countless suitors over the years. I wouldn’t be surprised if she has kids by now."
The group immediately began to discuss among themselves.
Jiang Chen heard their chatter and suddenly realized that the class across from them was indeed Jiang Jiewen's class. Jiang Jiewen, the school beauty from their middle school year—naturally, Jiang Chen knew her well. Not only did he know her, but after he went to Nangang for high school, they kept in touch. If it weren't for Lin Jingzhu being so close to him at that time, Jiang Chen might have ended up dating Jiang Jiewen.
From his WeChat moments, Jiang Chen learned that Lin Jingzhu ultimately went abroad with Mark. After all, Jiang Chen had lost interest in her, and since there had been no news for a while, Lin Jingzhu accepted Mark's pursuit and left for another country. So she wasn't at this reunion.
As Chen Chaoyue got out of the car, he was immediately surrounded by some classmates. He was quite gracious and quickly took out a pack of cigarettes to share with those who smoked. His demeanor certainly suggested he was a successful person.
Seeing Chen Chaoyue—the so-called "troublemaker" who didn't like studying—turn out to be the most successful among both classes present today made others sigh in amazement.
"Ah, back in the day I looked down on guys like Chen Chaoyue; I never expected today I'd be proven wrong. I only make around a hundred thousand a year while he's driving a million-dollar sports car. It really makes you feel inferior," Wang Yong couldn't help but lament.
"Chen Chaoyue comes from a good family; his dad seems to be a big contractor. I heard he's doing contracting work too now. But that's just an exception; most people who don’t study hard and come from poor families aren’t doing as well," Qi Mu chuckled.
"Qi Mu is right; people like Chen Chaoyue are rare exceptions and shouldn’t be compared to others. Plus, look at how flashy he is! He’s at the bottom of his class yet doing so well now—wonder how his homeroom teacher feels about this?" Wu Qianyi also expressed his thoughts with a hint of disbelief.
