Chapter 122: The Secular World

  "Tie Zhu, although you entered society earlier than us, don't look down on us, do you? Just because you earn a lot of money doesn't mean you're not our classmate anymore?" Su Yunze's words sounded calm, but were actually laced with hidden meaning. Zhao Tiezhu's gaze wasn't even on Su Yunze and those so-called white-collar elites, he just smiled indifferently, "Just muddle through society, struggling to make ends meet, barely scraping by, unlike you, the great class leader."

  "Haha, Tiezhu, don't hide anymore." Su Yunze walked to Zhao Tiezhu's side and put his arm around Zhao's shoulder, "Where are you living now?"

  "It's nothing but renting a house." Zhao Tiezhu smiled, isn't that right? As a landlord, isn't it just renting out a house? That house is worth around 200 million yuan.

  "Oh!!" Su Yunze suddenly enlightened, "We're old classmates, I have a house in Lishui District, it's been a long time since I last lived there, so I'll rent it to you. As classmates, I'll give you a discount, 2000 yuan per month. In a high-end district like Lishui, 2000 is really cheap!"

  "No need, I'm just sharing a place with someone!" Zhao Tiezhu took a cup of wine and handed it to Su Yunze, nodding his head and downing the drink in one gulp. But Su Yunze was not pleased in his heart. Zhao Tiezhu had been notorious for his short temper in high school, and now he was still so nonchalant about it. This wasn't what Su Yunze had expected. He had hoped to provoke Zhao Tiezhu with his power, women, and make him feel ashamed of himself. It wasn't that Su Yunze was being crude, but who wouldn't want to crush their enemy? But now all his efforts seemed to be in vain, leaving Su Yunze feeling a bit stifled.

  This side is depressed, Su Yunze also temporarily did not fold, if it's always like this, let other classmates see, and have to say that they are careful with their eyes, Su Yunze and Zhao Tiezhu and others said hello, and then laughed together with other classmates.

  Not long after, the elevator on the top floor opened again, and a slightly stout middle-aged man walked in. The people present cheered, "Teacher Zheng."

  "Hey! Everyone's here." The middle-aged man smiled and nodded, Su Yunze hurried to his side, "Teacher Zheng, welcome, you're the main character today, don't drink a few more cups, or your classmates won't agree!"

  Can't help but say that Su Yunze is indeed eloquent. These few sentences, polite yet warm, make people feel comfortable at heart.

  Zhao Tiezhu's expression also changed slightly. This Zheng teacher was his high school class teacher, and it could be said that he didn't have a good relationship with Zhao Tiezhu. In fact, Zhao Tiezhu wasn't a very good student in high school, so Zheng teacher didn't really care about him either, basically ignoring him. As for Bao Gan Xiao Su and his gang, they were the same, just calling out "Teacher Zheng" when they met, with only a nod of acquaintance.

  Mr. Zheng was surrounded by people in the middle, occasionally waving to people, a harmonious atmosphere, and Zhao Tiezhu was almost ignored by people.

  Teacher Zheng also noticed this side, took a look and it was Zhao Tiezhu, he was stunned, didn't expect Zhao Tiezhu to be here too, along with that group of hangers-on. Teacher Zheng beckoned to Zhao Tiezhu, who walked up looking somewhat puzzled.

  "Ah, Iron Pillar, it's been many years since we last met, and you've become even more robust!" Teacher Zheng smiled and nodded his head. Zhao Tiezhu was a bit perplexed, "Why is Teacher Zheng being so casual with himself?"

  Mr. Zheng also saw Zhao Tiezhu's expression and pulled him gently, saying, "On Old Man Xiao's birthday, I went too, on the third floor."

  Zhao Tiezhu suddenly realized, it turned out that he had been seen by Teacher Zheng.

  "Is Teacher Zheng going too?" Logically speaking, a mere teacher like him shouldn't have the qualifications to attend Old Master Xiao's birthday celebration.

  "That year, I and Tianhu were classmates." Teacher Zheng smiled with a hint of pride. It's a joke that the second-in-command of FJ's largest gang is his classmate, it's worth being proud of wherever you go. "Later on, I seem to have seen you getting a private meeting with Old Man Xiao, impressive young man." Teacher Zheng patted Zhao Tiezhu's shoulder, looking relieved.

  Su Yunze watched the intimate movements of the two people, feeling puzzled in his heart, but his face didn't show it. He said calmly, "Teacher Zheng, let's go this way." As he spoke, he led Teacher Zheng to a nearby table.

  "Let's go together." Zheng Laoshi extended an invitation to Zhao Tiezhu, which caused another wave of surprise around them. Had these two become close over the past few years?

  Zhao Tiezhu smiled and shook his head, "I'll sit with Wugong Biscuit over here."

  Mr. Zheng nodded and followed Su Yunze to one side without saying a word.

  At this time, the outdoor restaurant had already been set up with three large tables by the waiters. One table could seat about a dozen people. Zhao Tiezhu and his friends sat together, and Sun Dasheng also joined them. There were several others who got along well with Sun Dasheng, people who were relatively unknown in high school. These people chatted together, having a lot to talk about. After all, most of them were just ordinary office workers, similar to Pinggan, so they wouldn't have the arrogance of those self-proclaimed successful people. Everyone was chatting freely, and bottles of wine were being opened one after another as they toasted each other.

  "Wow, Maotai, Su Yunze really spent a lot of money on this, one bottle costs several hundred yuan." Little Su took a sip of the white wine, his face filled with intoxication.

  "That's what, what identity, haha, brothers, have to drink more, otherwise it's not worth our great class leader." Chen Xuanyu raised his glass, and everyone was drinking.

  Other tables are not as bold as this one, the other tables are all self-proclaimed mixed pretty well, such as what store manager, what department head and so on, at least married a certain manager's daughter, but Zhao Tiezhu looked at that group of people over there arguing about this and that, felt boring, thinking back to those years when they were still pure like what, it's only been a few years, and they've all become like this, this damn society.

  After three rounds of wine, the self-introduction that was just put aside started again under Su Yunze's lead. When it came to Zhao Tiezhu's table, his voice became much softer. People from other tables looked over, although they didn't show disdain, but somehow still looked down on him a bit.

  "Cut, it's only been a few years since we graduated, who knows who will end up doing well in the future?" Biscuit hummed and Sun Dasheng echoed, "Right, class reunion can't be simple, comparing this and that, our way is more comfortable. Come on, Tiezhu Ge, let's go."

  "Come." Zhao Tiezhu drained his cup in one gulp.

  At this time, Zhao Tiezhu's mobile phone rang.

  "Where is it?" was Su Yan Ni's phone call.

  "Having a gathering with classmates outside! How come you're pulling me along, thinking I'm pulling you?" Zhao Tiezhu said with a smirk.

  "Cut, I just don't want Brother Chun to think of you, tonight we're going out to check for drunk driving, if you plan on drinking it's best to get Lucy to drive you. Otherwise, if you get caught, your license will be revoked and you won't be able to retake the test for 5 years." Su Yanni's tone was calm, but everyone could hear the concern in her voice.

  "Alright, got it. I'm just next to Shiji Trade Building." Zhao Tiezhu said.

  "Then wait for me, I'll be off duty later and I'll go open it for you."

  "Alright."

  "Who is it?" asked the insect curiously on the side.

  "My house guest said there's a drunk driving check tonight, he'll come over later to help me drive." Zhao Tiezhu said.

  "Hey? Is it a girl?" Little Su immediately came over.

  "Heh heh." Zhao Tiezhu smiled but didn't speak.
