Inheritance of Two Trillion-Chapter 87 Old Friends Meet Again_1

Qingyun Pavilion.

Chen Ming had mentioned it was a small private room.

So Bai Xiaosheng didn’t pay much attention at first, but when he pushed the door open, even he was slightly taken aback.

This room was not small at all!

It could easily accommodate a meeting of four or five hundred people without feeling crowded!

Opposite the entrance were towering floor-to-ceiling windows providing a panoramic view over Tiannan. The room was divided into various areas, specially designated for banquets, rest, and a stage—almost anything one could need. Moreover, the furnishings were all in antique style, giving off a quaint and ancient charm.

At first glance, Bai Xiaosheng really thought he had traveled back in time.

Is this what they call a "small" private room in Mingzhu Tower?

Bai Xiaosheng was a bit astonished, it seemed that Elder Chen was too modest.

Now he was genuinely curious about what the grand private rooms would look like.

Zhengdong Province was also surprised.

There were already dozens of people in the room, and even with them scattered around, it still felt incredibly spacious.

As Bai Xiaosheng and his group entered, those people took notice.

Upon seeing them, the people couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

"Isn’t that Bai Xiaosheng? And Zhengdong Province too!"

"What are they doing here!"

"Tsk tsk, the two big scumbags from Tiannan University, truly nauseating!"

"Look at what Bai Xiaosheng is wearing, what a mess, they said he was a top talent before, all nonsense."

"Exactly, especially compared to He Yanbing, he looks practically like a beggar."

"Haha, aren’t they shamelessly here to freeload a meal now."

The various whispering voices, those that Bai Xiaosheng and Zhengdong Province could already hear, were extremely unpleasant to the ear, not to mention those they couldn’t hear.

Zheng Pangzi’s face turned sour, and he started rolling up his sleeves, ready to confront those who were making harsh remarks.

Bai Xiaosheng grabbed hold of him and shook his head slightly.

Zheng Pangzi’s forehead was throbbing with veins, but after one look at Bai Xiaosheng, he managed to suppress his anger.

"You guys really shouldn’t have come," Lu Nan said with a bitter smile. "I’m almost regretting coming here myself. A reunion, you say, but look at the kind of people who have shown up!"

Bai Xiaosheng gave Lu Nan a reassuring smile and whispered to him, "In a moment, don’t sit with us."

This was also a form of protection.

Bai Xiaosheng led Zheng Pangzi toward a vacant area of the rest zone.

Lu Nan watched their retreating backs and followed.

Lu Nan knew Bai Xiaosheng meant well, but he was not afraid. He would have stood by them even back in their school days.

When Bai Xiaosheng and Zheng Pangzi sat down, Lu Nan also took his seat.

Bai Xiaosheng smiled appreciatively.

Zheng Pangzi grinned broadly.

Some friendships, through storms and the passage of time, remain as solid as ever.

"You, Lu Nan, have been our good friend in the past, and you will remain so in the future. If you’re ever in trouble, I, Bai Xiaosheng, will definitely help you," Bai Xiaosheng said earnestly.

With something troubling Lu Nan, Bai Xiaosheng didn’t press him for answers. All he could offer was a promise. After this reunion, Lu Nan would understand that Bai Xiaosheng had the strength to back up his words!

Lu Nan nodded with a smile.

He didn’t look down on Bai Xiaosheng’s simple clothes and average success and took his words seriously.

"I believe you, Bai Xiaosheng, are a dragon among men, and you won’t remain in obscurity forever!"

Lu Nan poured a cup of tea for Bai Xiaosheng, then for Zheng Pangzi, and finally for himself.

Around them, some murmuring voices carried over.

"Why is Lu Nan sitting together with Bai Xiaosheng and Zhengdong Province?"

"They were always birds of a feather, flocking together!"

"I heard Lu Nan has recently run into some business problems, he’s looking for help..."

"As if He Yanbing and the others would help him..."

Despite these comments, Lu Nan’s expression remained unchanged.

"Do you remember our favorite song from the university days?"

Suddenly smiling, Lu Nan began to hum.

"Yesterday, all the glory became distant memories, having toiled through half my life, tonight I step back into the storm..."

"I cannot drift with the waves, for the loved ones I cherish, no matter how hard or tough, I must stay strong, for those expectant gazes..."

With a faraway look in his eyes, Zheng Pangzi couldn’t help but hum along.

"As long as the heart persists, dreams will follow, between heaven and earth, there’s still true love, viewing success and failure with boldness, it’s merely starting over!"

Bai Xiaosheng joined them in singing out loud.

The three men, amidst the surrounding looks of contempt, condescension, or ridicule, began to raise their voices gradually.

In a corner, a pair of eyes watched them intently.

Once Bai Xiaosheng and the others finished singing, the owner of those eyes stood up, strode over with eagerness and excitement in their gaze.

"Bai Xiaosheng, Zhengdong Province, it really is you, long time no see! I was busy with some messages and didn’t realize you’d arrived!" The man sat down beside Lu Nan, his smile sincere.

He wasn’t very tall, his hair meticulously combed, wearing gold-rimmed glasses, still with the demeanor of a gentle and refined scholar.

"Song Yiping." Bai Xiaosheng turned slightly and called out his name with a smile.

"Oh, look who it is, bookworm, you’re here too!" exclaimed Zheng Pangzi in surprise. Song Yiping was essentially his henchman during their university days. Song Yiping was quite meek and often bullied, and since he was the roommate of the chubby one, it was always Zheng Pangzi who stood up for him.

Zheng Pangzi, known for his good nature, had often gone out of his way to support the much weaker Song Yiping.

Before Bai Xiaosheng and Zhengdong Province ran into trouble, Song Yiping had always been their little follower.

After their troubles, Song Yiping disappeared from their sights.

To protect himself, this was understandable.

Bai Xiaosheng and Zhengdong Province didn’t hold a grudge against him; not everyone can be like Lu Nan.

Seeing Song Yiping sit down, Lu Nan’s smile receded slightly, his eyes somewhat cold.

He didn’t have much fondness for Song Yiping. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Yet, Song Yiping retained his smile towards Lu Nan.

"Bai Xiaosheng, where are you making your fortune now?" Song Yiping surveyed Bai Xiaosheng and chuckled, "Dressed so casually and comfortably, I’m quite envious of you, you’re just brimming with personality."

At these words, Zheng Pangzi felt displeased.

"Hey, listen up, bookworm. It was one thing to call us by our first names just now, but why are you doing it again? Back in university, you used to call us Brother Bai, Brother Zheng. It seems that now that you’re successful, you don’t take us seriously anymore."

The comment was blunt.

Song Yiping’s smile stiffened, then he nodded eagerly.

"Yeah, it’s been so many years since I last called those names, it feels strange. Brother Zheng, don’t mind it, Brother Bai, I’m just concerned about you."

Bai Xiaosheng smiled indifferently.

He didn’t mind.

"Oh, that’s right, I forgot to introduce myself." Song Yiping stood up and took out a business card, handing one to each man.

"Tiannan City Bank, Ludong Sub-branch, Client Manager," Zheng Pangzi read the position aloud, somewhat surprised, "Not bad, bookworm, you’re a bank manager now, can you give us a loan?"

"Of course, if you have a need," Song Yiping responded with a smile.

Tiannan City Bank, huh?

In Bai Xiaosheng’s wallet, there was still a golden business card from Ouyang Fu, the bank president of Tiannan City Bank.

That, too, was a chess piece!
