Chapter 172: The Frogs in the Well!

“Yes, their class reunion. I’m just an outsider. But it doesn’t matter, I’m about to leave anyway,” Shen Fei said softly.

“Shen Fei, who are they?” Teacher Deng asked, puzzled.

“This elderly gentleman is Ning Donghai, the chairman of Donghai Group. This next to him is his son, Ning Xiangyi,” Shen Fei introduced.

“Ning Dong, Xiangyi, these are my teachers from middle school, Teacher Deng, Teacher Liu, Teacher Dai, and Teacher Niu!”

As soon as the words were spoken, Ning Donghai proactively shook hands with the four teachers.

Ning Xiangyi quickly followed, smiling as he greeted them.

The teachers were left stunned in place.

They were natives of the city, and how could they not know Donghai Group, the restaurant giant, or its chairman, Ning Donghai?

What shocked them was that Shen Fei actually knew such a big shot.

And this big shot, on Shen Fei’s behalf, even shook their hands.

The scene was utterly surreal.

Just a few days ago, the Shen Fei the students had described was nothing more than a reckless drunkard with a gambling problem.

But now, the Shen Fei they saw not only acted with discretion, but was also treated with such respect by the king of the restaurant industry.

The teachers couldn’t help but wonder if the students had slandered Shen Fei back then.

Still in shock, they were momentarily speechless.

Then, Ning Donghai took a few cards out of his pocket.

“These are a small token from me, Ning Donghai, for the teachers. Anyone who presents this card at any of the restaurants under Wan Hai Group will receive a 40% discount! A small gift, I hope you’ll accept it!”

Having considerable experience in business, Ning Donghai understood the importance of relationships. When he heard Shen Fei mention “teachers,” he quickly realized that these teachers were particularly important to him.

Thus, he lowered his status and offered the teachers a few diamond cards, hoping to win Shen Fei’s favor.

Actually, Ning Donghai had already developed a trust in Shen Fei. After the incident with the gas explosion at Yunshuixuan, which he had verified was an accident, he had visited the old municipal party committee to ask about Shen Fei.

Through this, Ning Donghai had learned more about Shen Fei, which further motivated him to seek a connection.

In truth, it wasn’t just about Ning Donghai wanting to be friends with Shen Fei. It was more about paving the way for Ning Xiangyi.

The teachers were stunned as they stared at the diamond cards handed to them.

They looked at Shen Fei, incredulous.

What had this young man done to earn such treatment from this big shot?

After they regained their composure, they quickly expressed their gratitude.

“Brother Fei, do you want to continue catching up? Should I arrange for a private room for you?”

After seeing the teachers’ reactions, Ning Xiangyi had an idea.

It was probably because the others were jealous of Brother Fei, so he hesitated before suggesting it.

“Teachers, what do you think?” Shen Fei asked softly.

“This…” Teacher Deng hesitated.

He really wanted to catch up with Shen Fei. But those students were also his former pupils!

If he agreed too hastily, would it worsen their feelings toward Shen Fei?

But then, Teacher Deng recalled what had just happened…

With the way the class reunion had turned, did it even make sense to stay?

He gritted his teeth and nodded. “Okay!”

“Good! Then I’ll take the initiative and arrange it!” Ning Xiangyi said eagerly, then turned to a man standing nearby, “Please prepare the usual private room on the second floor, then take Brother Fei and the teachers there.”

“Okay, Young Master Ning, I’ll arrange it right away!” The man quickly left to make the arrangements.

Shen Fei led the teachers, following Ning Xiangyi out of the private room.

As for those middle school classmates, Shen Fei didn’t even spare them a second glance.

After they left, Manager Wang exchanged a look with Director Fang, both of them understanding the unspoken meaning.

With the departure of these big shots, the room fell silent once again.

No one dared to speak.

Manager Wang, however, looked at Mr. Pei calmly and said, “Mr. Pei, from now on, I will no longer accept any orders from your company at Dongyue Restaurant or any other restaurants I’ve recommended.”

With that, he turned and left gracefully.

Mr. Pei was left stunned, his mind going blank.

His face turned as pale as a sheet, drained of all color.

The others looked around at each other in shock.

Except for Su Ruyan.

Su Ruyan, seeing what had just happened, was furious.

She glared at Mr. Pei, wanting to tear him apart.

She had worked so hard to come up with a plan, to set up this trap, and had finally managed to invite Shen Fei.

But it was all ruined by Mr. Pei and Fan Zhongju!

She knew very well that the others would make things difficult for Shen Fei.

She thought it would just be some casual talk, that they would just skip over it, but they played it this hard?

She hadn’t even had the chance to stop them, and the situation had already reached a “happy ending”?

All her effort, all the trouble she went through, was for those teachers?

She was furious!

“Idiots! A bunch of idiots!”

She looked around disdainfully, muttering these words coldly.

Then, without hesitation, she stood up, grabbed her bag, and prepared to leave.

There was no point in staying. The purpose of the reunion had been Shen Fei. Now that he had left, why should she stay with these short-sighted people?

Lowering her own status?

A cold smile curled on her lips as she walked out of the private room.

As she reached the door, she paused and turned around, coldly declaring:

“You frogs in a well! Driving a 300,000 yuan broken car, living in a house you still need to pay a mortgage on, and you feel proud? You think you’re above everyone? But do you know? Shen Fei drives a fully paid-for G-Wagon, lives in a 20-million-yuan villa that he bought outright! A bunch of idiots!”

With a cold snort, Su Ruyan stormed off in anger.

The atmosphere in the private room grew even more awkward.

The middle school classmates who had mocked Shen Fei were all looking increasingly uncomfortable.

Especially Mr. Pei and Mr. Fan, who were trembling uncontrollably.

A G-Wagon, at least worth a million yuan!

A luxury villa worth over 20 million!

And Chairman Ning Donghai of Donghai Group showed such respect to Shen Fei?

Realizing this, the two men lost all color from their faces.

They had been the harshest critics of Shen Fei.

If Shen Fei decided to take revenge, they wouldn’t even have the strength to fight back!

They might not even notice before Shen Fei trampled them underfoot!
