As the main character at the dining table, He Chunqing was showered with compliments, making him squint with satisfaction.

At this moment, Su Yun spoke up, "Chunqing, we were just talking about your Yunfeng Group!"

"Talking about our Yunfeng Group?"

He Chunqing showed a hint of doubt and asked, puzzled.

"Chunqing, your group's chairman committed suicide. You must know about it, right?"

Before Su Yun could speak, Fu Hai jumped in with a question.

Fu Hai used to be very close to He Chunqing.

They had previously teamed up against Ye Feng over Su Weiwei.

Although He Chunqing worked for Yunfeng Group, he had been stationed elsewhere and hadn't been at the headquarters recently.

He was aware of Xiao Jun's suicide, but he didn't know much about the details.

However, being part of Yunfeng Group, he naturally had more reliable and comprehensive information than the rumors others heard.

Hearing Fu Hai's question, his expression gradually became serious.

Regarding the chairman's death, Yunfeng Group had already prohibited private discussions.

But considering their old classmate ties and his good mood today, he lowered his voice and said, "This matter is not to be discussed within the group, but since we're classmates, I can share a little with you."

After deliberately pausing and seeing everyone eagerly waiting, he continued, "I don't know much about it either. It's currently confidential, but it's said to be related to the new chairman."

"As for the rest, it's not convenient for me to say more. Those who understand will understand."

After He Chunqing finished speaking, he looked serious.

"Could it be murder?"

Fu Hai exclaimed in shock.

"That's what you said, not me," He Chunqing raised his voice.

"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. It's rare for us to meet after so many years. I brought two good bottles of wine for everyone to enjoy."

After He Chunqing spoke, everyone noticed the two bottles of red wine he placed on the table.

They were two bottles of Lafite, quite valuable.

Ye Feng immediately recognized their worth. Although they weren't from a particularly good year, being produced by the Lafite winery meant they weren't something ordinary people could afford. The two bottles He Chunqing brought were priced around a hundred thousand yuan each.

While they couldn't compare to the top-tier wines that cost hundreds of thousands or even millions, these two bottles were enough to impress everyone present.

For instance, Su Yun, who was worth tens of millions, was already a standout among the classmates.

He could afford wines costing tens of thousands, but he would never be willing to spend that much.

Others, even less so, would likely never taste such expensive wine unless someone else treated them.

Especially the women at the table, their eyes sparkled, secretly thinking that after drinking this bottle, they would have another point of pride to boast about.

In future conversations with besties or men, they could confidently say, "I drank wine worth a hundred thousand yuan back in the day..."

This one sentence could deter many persistent suitors.

Perhaps if their love life didn't go well, they could reflect on it endlessly and post on social media, accompanied by pictures and text, saying, "A woman who has been accompanied by a hundred-thousand-yuan wine, why should she settle for a four-yuan Yanjing?"

This would infinitely elevate their perceived worth.

Over the years, He Chunqing had been successful in his career but unlucky in love.

Many classmates were already married, but he remained single.

In the eyes of his classmates, his single status was different from Ye Feng's.

He was successful in his career, already a young general manager of a Yunfeng Group mall, the most dazzling man in the room.

He had become a sought-after figure among many female classmates.

In contrast, Ye Feng, despite his past glory, had already fallen.

Now he was just an older young man.

Although Ye Feng was handsome, the most attractive guy in the room, everyone knew that good looks couldn't be eaten.

Only power and influence should attract women.

At this moment, some female classmates began to stir, getting up and moving to He Chunqing's side, pressing their bodies against him.

In a proud tone, one said, "Chunqing, let's have a drink!"

He Chunqing welcomed everyone.

Even a few married female classmates with kids in kindergarten confidently approached, casting flirtatious glances at He Chunqing and clinking glasses with him!

These scenes were nothing new to Ye Feng. Before he went to prison, such things were a common occurrence.

After all, with his status, there were always women eager to throw themselves at him!

Soon, after everyone had gone through the motions.

He Chunqing looked around the table, initially wanting to chat with Mr. Tu.

Unexpectedly, he saw two faces that surprised him.

"Ye Feng? Su Weiwei?"

He Chunqing looked at them in shock and disbelief.

Seeing Su Weiwei wasn't surprising.

But Ye Feng's appearance was unexpected.

Everyone knew Ye Feng had been imprisoned, a solid fact.

And the charges weren't minor, so how could he appear at this class reunion?

He Chunqing couldn't believe his eyes.

"Weiwei, you're still as beautiful as ever."

He Chunqing complimented.

He had always had feelings for Su Weiwei, and over the years, her beauty hadn't faded but had become more refined and charming.

This made He Chunqing's heart itch!

He was already thinking about whether he could win over Su Weiwei at this reunion.

In the past, He Chunqing had been almost obsessively persistent with Su Weiwei, and she never had a good impression of him.

But out of politeness, she still smiled and nodded, "He Chunqing, you're flattering me. I'm getting older."

He Chunqing smiled in response, then turned his gaze to Ye Feng, smiling slightly, "Ye Feng, how did you end up like this? Not even a decent set of clothes?"

Although he seemed harmless, his words were full of mockery.

"Chunqing, don't you know? Ye Feng just got out of prison."

"He probably can't even pull out a hundred yuan now, so having these clothes is already pretty good."

Fu Hai chimed in mockingly.

This remark drew laughter from the whole room.

It wasn't really funny; most people just wanted to get closer to He Chunqing.

Ye Feng sat quietly, watching He Chunqing with interest.

Wondering how long he could maintain that smile.

"Mr. Tu, how did the student you valued so much end up like this?"

He Chunqing turned to Tu Liguo, smiling with a hint of pride, thinking he had every reason to be proud!

Back in school, Ye Feng was the student Tu Liguo valued the most, which made He Chunqing very dissatisfied.

He had arranged this meeting specifically to show Tu Liguo how poor his judgment had been.

The student he looked down on was now one of the most successful in the class, not inferior to anyone.
