Chapter 164: The Ignored Qin Ze

Jiang Wan was standing in the crowd, and when she heard her name called on stage, she was stunned for a moment.

She subconsciously turned her head to look at Qin Ze.

Her eyes carried a question.

Qin Ze looked at her gaze, and he knew clearly that Jiang Wan was seeking his opinion.

He then nodded.

Seeing Qin Ze nod, Jiang Wan took a deep breath, straightened her collar, and stepped toward the stage.

The moment Jiang Wan walked onto the stage, the entire playground went quiet.

Everyone's gaze fell squarely on her.

Not only because she was the General Manager of Qingfeng Holdings.

But also because she was simply too beautiful.

That face, that figure, that temperament...

Standing on the stage, she looked like a star.

The male alumni offstage all stared straight at her.

"Damn, who is that?"

"Jiang Wan! A junior who was one year below us! She was the school beauty back then!"

"She's even more beautiful now!"

"General Manager of Qingfeng Holdings? Is that for real?"

"I heard Qingfeng Holdings is a company worth tens of millions!"

"She became a General Manager at such a young age? That's too awesome, right?"

The school leader on stage took the microphone and said with a smile:

"Dear alumni, Ms. Jiang Wan! She currently holds the position of General Manager of Qingfeng Holdings Group in Jiang City!"

"Qingfeng Holdings Group is an investment company worth tens of millions!"

"Ms. Jiang Wan being able to achieve such success at such a young age is the pride of our school!"

A burst of warm applause erupted offstage.

Jiang Wan stood on the stage, bowed slightly, and delivered a few perfunctory remarks.

But at this moment, in the crowd offstage, there were a few gazes that were not very friendly.

Beside Qin Ze, a woman wearing a luxury brand jacket snorted coldly.

"What's so great about that."

"Isn't she just a General Manager? She's just working for someone else."

"Talking as if the company is hers."

Nearby, several men were also whispering.

A man wearing a gold chain stared at Jiang Wan on stage, unable to look away.

"Tsk tsk, this Jiang Wan, how come I didn't notice she had such flavor when she was in school?"

Ding Yuan licked his lips and said in a low voice.

Beside him, a man in a leather jacket took over the conversation.

"Indeed, back then I only thought she looked good, but I didn't expect her to have such temperament now."

"Look at that figure, those legs..."

"Truly amazing."

A man on the side heard this and chuckled:

"President Sun, with your financial strength now, taking down Jiang Wan, isn't that an easy thing?"

"Although she is a General Manager, in the end, she's just a high-level worker."

"You, President Sun, have your own company, a person making millions a year."

"If you marry her, you'd be making her the boss's wife!"

Sun Yi smiled and didn't speak, but the confidence in his eyes said it all.

Qin Ze stood not far away and heard the conversation of these people clearly.

Just at this time, a familiar voice came from behind:

"Qin Ze!"

Qin Ze turned his head and saw his class teacher Sun Wenliang walking toward him.

Sun Wenliang was wearing his signature black-rimmed glasses, with a smile on his face:

"Qin Ze, why didn't you tell me when you arrived?"

"Come, come, come, come with me to the office to sit for a while."

"Several old classmates from our class are all there."

Qin Ze knew too well why Sun Wenliang was looking for him.

It was nothing more than about the donation.

But he didn't refuse and nodded:

"Okay, Teacher Sun."

Sun Wenliang led Qin Ze and walked toward the teaching building.

While walking, he said:

"Qin Ze, this anniversary celebration is a big day."

"I saw your dad's WeChat Moments, saying you won the lottery?"

"You have over a million in your hands now, right?"

Qin Ze smiled:

"About that."

When Sun Wenliang heard this, his eyes lit up:

"That's good! That's good!"

"Those who came today are all outstanding alumni of our school, all people of status."

"My meaning is, when you donate later, try to donate a bit more."

"After all, you are my student; if you donate more, I, as the class teacher, will also have face, right?"

Qin Ze saw it clearly like a mirror.

Sun Wenliang being so enthusiastic, when it comes down to it, is because how much he donates is directly related to his status in front of the principal.

Every class teacher hopes that the students they taught can stand out more.

To put it bluntly, this is a face project.

Qin Ze chuckled:

"Okay, Teacher Sun, I have a number in mind."

The two walked all the way to Sun Wenliang's office.

Pushing the door open, five or six people were already sitting inside.

Qin Ze glanced over; they were all his former classmates.

Wang Lei was sitting on the sofa, crossing his legs.

Ma Wenkai was leaning against the windowsill, holding a cigarette in his hand.

Sun Li was sitting in a chair, looking down at her phone.

Zhao Peng was standing by the water dispenser, holding a cup of water.

Liu Feng was leaning against the wall, chatting with Ma Wenkai.

Qin Ze had a deep impression of these people!

And when these people saw Qin Ze enter, they all looked up at the same time.

But it was just a glance, and their gazes shifted away.

Sun Wenliang clapped his hands:

"Come, come, come, let me introduce everyone."

He first pointed to Wang Lei:

"Wang Lei, you all know him, he's doing building materials business in Jiangcheng now, making hundreds of thousands a year, doing quite well!"

Wang Lei smiled and waved his hand:

"Teacher Sun, you're too kind, just making a living."

Sun Wenliang pointed to Ma Wenkai:

"Ma Wenkai, now he's a supervisor in a large catering company, managing dozens of people!"

Ma Wenkai nodded, which counted as a greeting.

Sun Wenliang pointed to Sun Li:

"Sun Li, now she has opened two clothing stores in Jiangcheng, business is very prosperous!"

Sun Li looked up and smiled politely.

Then there were Zhao Peng and Liu Feng, Sun Wenliang introduced them one by one.

Everyone spoke with great detail, afraid that others wouldn't know they were doing well.

It was Qin Ze's turn.

Sun Wenliang opened his mouth, but only said one sentence:

"This is Qin Ze, everyone is a classmate, so I won't introduce him much."

And then he skipped over him.

Qin Ze stood in place, stunned for a moment.

That's it?

He looked at Sun Wenliang, and then looked at the people present.

He understood instantly in his heart.

In the eyes of these people, he is just an upstart who won the lottery.

Not worth being introduced specifically.

Qin Ze smiled and didn't speak.

But immediately after, he discovered a more awkward problem.

Everyone was sitting, only he was standing.

In the office, the sofa and chairs were all occupied.

Wang Lei occupied half the sofa by himself, Ma Wenkai sat in a chair, Sun Li sat in one, and Zhao Peng and Liu Feng each sat in one.

Qin Ze scanned around, and couldn't find a place to sit.

He stood at the door, just like an outsider.

Qin Ze leaned against the door frame and didn't care.

At this time, Sun Wenliang began to get to the point:

"Classmates, this anniversary celebration is the 100th anniversary of our school, it's a big day."

"The school plans to renovate and add some new facilities."

"So, I hope everyone can be generous and support the construction of our alma mater."

"We all walked out from here; if our alma mater needs something, we can't ignore it, don't you think?"

"And this is also a good thing, later the school will even set up a monument..." ===== CHAPTER 165 =====
