Are you in the same class?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... we are classmates in the same class.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yiyan’s expression was extremely unnatural; why, at her most humble moment, did she have to hear that name that made her burn with jealousy and hatred?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiaolei chimed in: \"Master Wang is also interested in entertainment industry affairs?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh, my younger sister went to Zhou Jielun’s concert a while ago, and wasn't your class on stage sending her off?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The video on that Wenjie website had quite a high view count; I saw it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong also remembered something: \"Is that the confession thing at the birthday party?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a lecherous ghost; he usually fished for women in the entertainment industry through Wang Xiaolei and had some understanding of celebrity gossip.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Look at this, even while eating, his greasy hands had already started exploring Huo Siyan’s lower body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of which, this Lu Kuan is something; such a charming little beauty, and he’s willing to let her go?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan smiled nonchalantly: \"He’s a big shot in the entertainment industry; he’s seen and eaten plenty, can he really hang himself on one tree?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong was used to being arrogant; those who came to the capital to lobby for projects never failed to give him some face, and he immediately began to boast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Wang, why don't we get a piece of his entertainment company? Never mind the pocket change, the resources of beauties are endless.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This remark made Wang Yan frown; he had been hearing nothing but lectures at home these past two days, and he immediately said in a deep voice: \"Don't talk nonsense, Wenjie... is not that simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Yiyan spent the whole time exhausted from faking smiles and pouring drinks, maintaining an extremely low posture.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, suddenly hearing the names of Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei, whom she wished she could get rid of as quickly as possible, the jealousy in her heart flared up, and she couldn't help but want to add fuel to the fire.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She mimicked her good sister Huo Siyan next to her, placing her jade hand on Master Wang’s thigh and circling at the base.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She also held up her small wine glass, looking at him with a smiling face, her eyes glistening as if they had hooks: \"Boss Wang, this Lu Kuan and Wenjie might be arrogant in front of others, but in the eyes of people like you and Boss Zhao, isn't it just like grabbing something from a bag?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this life, Jiang the architect was still a fool who hadn't really tested the depths of the entertainment industry, still thinking about whether she could stir up some trouble with her own beauty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In her view, men, aren't they all competitive creatures?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially this Zhao Dong, who was almost sticking his hand into Huo Siyan’s...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone didn't take her words seriously, especially Wang Xiaolei; in the past, he would have already been playing along and showing off, but now...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ah!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a crisp sound of a slap came, and Jiang Yiyan screamed and fell to the ground, covering her face and looking at the murderous Wang Yan in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Was this still the gentle and elegant family heir from just a moment ago?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone present was shocked, and Wang Xiaolei walked over with a sneer: \"Master Wang, what is this about? Why the sudden flare of real anger...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Boss Wang! The person you brought, isn't her speech a bit too ignorant of the gravity of the situation?\" \"I’m chatting with Boss Zhao, is a whore allowed to interrupt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan’s expression was stern, as if Jiang Yiyan had just said something that would bring the sky down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone thought back carefully...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Didn't she just mention grabbing Wenjie and Lu Kuan from a bag?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Why did he react as if he had seen a ghost?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Is this very sensitive?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wouldn't have mattered in the past, but recently, this matter was indeed very sensitive in the young master circle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong’s expression was also somewhat unnatural; after all, Wang Yan was the one he had brought to help Huayi clear relations, and he immediately put his arm around his close friend’s shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Old Wang, don't lower yourself to the level of a little girl. She just sees that you're imposing and wants to flatter you a bit; there's no great harm in it, haha.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan violently shook off his childhood friend's hand, as if the bond of growing up together in the same compound had vanished in an instant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Dongzi, this isn't a matter of being imposing or not, nor am I making a mountain out of a molehill.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You've been abroad for the past two years, so you don't know how wicked this Lu Kuan is.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He paused, turned his head, and glanced at the two \"starlets.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiaolei hurriedly stood up, and, sensing the underlying meaning, gestured to the two women: \"You two go out first.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two women left the table, and Jiang Yiyan, clutching her swollen cheek, looked ashen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan pulled Zhao Dong down to sit, his tone quite earnest: \"We live in the same compound as Sister Huang's family. Did you know she got divorced?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What!? With Zhou...\" Zhao Dong looked incredulous: \"Divorced? Just like that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan looked helpless: \"Old Zhou is completely finished this time. If it weren't for his father and uncle, he would have been wiped off the map in the mainland.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Now, damn it, nobody knows exactly why, but it absolutely has something to do with Lu Kuan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What do you mean?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"At the end of last month, the Wenjie Olympic proposal was leaked, and within a week, all of Old Zhou's dirty laundry at Morgan was dug up!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan counted off on his fingers with lingering fear: \"In 2001, as the lead underwriter for Sibida, he failed to perform due diligence during the supervision period, leading to the company inflating revenue, inflating total profits, and inflating accounts receivable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In 2002, he instructed subordinates to issue false guidance certificates for a company he was planning to take public.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The year before last, he acted as a sponsor and issued documents with false entries, violating securities laws to help Volkswagen Mining cash out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong felt a jolt in his heart, his drunken stupor instantly clearing!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These petty matters—to people like them, are these even considered matters?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The difference between being on the record and off the record, the difference between four ounces and a thousand pounds—do I need to say more?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong cursed inwardly; the dirt on his own hands wasn't much cleaner than this, and his family was even worse off than Zhou Army's!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, you mean to say, all of this was caused by that Lu Kuan?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, no, no, absolutely don't misunderstand, I didn't say anything.\" Wang Yan hurriedly waved his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Anyway, for the past week, I've gone straight home after work and haven't gone anywhere. Today was only because you called me out.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"My old man said that the leaders are very angry recently. Whoever causes trouble and disrupts stability should handle it themselves if they can; if they can't, they're on their own!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan didn't know if his childhood friend realized the severity of the situation, so he pulled Wang Xiaolei over as an example, hoping he wouldn't be stubborn enough to provoke that wicked director.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiaolei, you know the inside story about that Liu Zeyu from two years ago, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tell Zhao Dong about it; he was still in England at the time and hadn't returned.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bitterness in Wang Xiaolei's heart was no less than Jiang Yiyan's, and he smiled bitterly: \"That did happen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He... took a fancy to Liu Yifei, that girl who has a deep connection with Lu Kuan, and then...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong asked urgently: \"And then what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan was blunt: \"His dad went in! He didn't escape it either and went in too. His family was ruined. Understand now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Zhou Army is the same. I don't know how it's being handled now, but in short, his family is broken, and it's said his old man is sending him abroad.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan then turned to Wang Xiaolei: \"By the way, he still holds shares in your Huayi, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Yes... yes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was also a thorny issue. The Old Zhou family hadn't mentioned whether to withdraw or redeem the shares from Huayi, so everyone was just playing dead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Army's situation was being handled internally and wouldn't cause a major stir.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Wang Yan hadn't revealed it, the people at Huayi wouldn't have known the details either.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan checked his watch; he didn't want to stay any longer, and he certainly didn't want to say that name again, as he had been sternly warned at home recently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which parent doesn't know the nature of their own child?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that this business with Zhou Army had happened, although it wouldn't lead to the executioner's blade, the impact on his father and uncle was not small!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He poured full glasses of wine for himself and Zhao Dong, his tone earnest: \"Dongzi, we're brothers who grew up wearing split-crotch pants together. Back then, Zhou Army was also from our compound.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As a brother, I'll tell you the honest truth.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan slammed the table, startling both Zhao Dong and Wang Xiaolei, who wondered what incredible thing he was about to say.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That Hurun list comes out in October. No matter what rank that Lu Kuan gets, no matter how much money he has, no matter which of his women you've taken a fancy to!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don't you dare have any crooked thoughts, at least not now.

Wang Yan seemed unwilling to stay a moment longer, wiped his hands, and left first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a second-generation who knew his place, developing within his own circle with boundaries, not the type to act recklessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There were some things he knew the inside story of but couldn't say clearly; having said this much to his childhood friend, he had done his duty.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Dong chewed over his words, feeling rather dispirited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A commoner billionaire rising suddenly, without leaving any gaps for people like them to squeeze in and take a bite—it was truly maddening and yet helpless!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the hallway, Jiang Yiyan, who had just gone to the restroom to cover her red, swollen cheek with concealer, walked out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Yan walked past her without looking, and Jiang Yiyan kept her head down, lacking the courage to even glance at him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She really couldn't understand it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could even such a person fear Lu Kuan like a snake or a scorpion?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of incredible thing had he actually done?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace? Or executed the imperial son-in-law?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two faces of Lu Kuan and Liu Yifei kept appearing before her eyes like a great mountain; perhaps they would press down on her, making her unable to breathe for the rest of her life.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a good banquet, but unfortunately, it ended on a sour note.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wang Xiaolei offered a few words of comfort, told Huo Siyan to do some ideological work with the fledgling literary girl, and was then picked up by his driver.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Recently, with the chaos caused by Zhou Army and the Olympic leak, he didn't even have the mood to stir up trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the car, he received a call from Dajun: \"Hello, brother?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Not eating anymore?
