Chapter 14: Wang Zhen's Mental Journey

It was inconvenient for Wang Zhen to lean over to look carefully, but he also guessed from the previous ordering that the amount was not low.

Shen Qingyue and Liu Yuting sat firmly, without saying much, their eyes carrying a bit of calm silence.

Li Yan took out an Industrial and Commercial Bank credit card from his small card bag and handed it to the waiter.

The waiter nodded, said "Wait a moment" softly, and turned to disappear into the front hall.

Not long after, he came back with the card and the bill, and respectfully handed the card and the signature pen to Li Yan.

Li Yan signed his name casually, as if it were the smallest thing.

After signing, Li Yan put the card away and nodded slightly to signal.

The waiter bowed again and retreated, and the private room returned to that quiet and gentle atmosphere.

Wang Zhen didn't say much, and Shen Qingyue and Liu Yuting were even quieter.

Li Yan looked at the time, it was already time for the hotel, and the booth at Shangmei bar had already been prepared.

"Let's go, next round"

Li Yan is naturally a person who loves to play. Which 18-year-old boy doesn't love to play when he has money?

Not to mention Li Yan's personality.

Food, scenery, beauty, Li Yan likes them all~

After Li Yan paid the bill, several people walked out of the private room, and the waiter bowed to see them off. In the corridor, the soft light reflected the figures of several people walking slowly.

The cool breeze of the night blew gently from the entrance of the restaurant, carrying the damp breath of the lake, making people feel refreshed.

Li Yan raised his hand and took out his phone, skillfully hailing two special cars.

After waiting for two or three minutes, two black business sedans stopped at the entrance of Yunjingxuan. The driver got out of the car and opened the door, politely greeting several people to get in.

Li Yan took the lead in letting Shen Qingyue and Liu Yuting sit in one car, and he and Wang Zhen got into the other.

The reason for this arrangement is naturally for Wang Zhen...

The atmosphere in the car was quiet, Li Yan leaned on the back seat, his eyes relaxed, looking at the flashing street lights outside the window.

Wang Zhen sat on the side, excited and carrying some expectation: "Brother Yan, what do we do tonight?"

Li Yan smiled, and said casually: "S-zone booth, the position in the middle, booked in advance. That bottle of Richard Cognac wasn't finished last time, it's still there, just right to use tonight."

The tone was calm, as if discussing the most ordinary thing.

Wang Zhen nodded, tidied up his T-shirt slightly, and couldn't help but sit up straighter.

Different people have different fates. This is the deepest thing Wang Zhen has felt since he met Li Yan.

Wang Zhen sat in the car, looking at the neon lights flashing outside the window, and couldn't help but feel complex emotions in his heart.

All the way from the first year to the third year of high school, he witnessed Li Yan's growth and transformation with his own eyes, and also personally experienced the various conveniences and pressures as a friend.

In terms of family conditions, his family opened a medium-sized supermarket, the income is stable, and it can be considered quite good among classmates.

But compared to Li Yan, Wang Zhen always felt that he lost in "brain" and "action".

Li Yan's title of "Buffett of No. 1 High School" is not for nothing.

In the first year of high school, Li Yan's family conditions were still ordinary, but from that year on, he inexplicably started investing.

Wang Zhen remembered very clearly that at that time, Li Yan had just completed a fund investment, saying that he earned more than 30,000 yuan in a year, which made Wang Zhen stare straight.

Later, Li Yan's financial management map expanded from funds to stocks, virtual currency, and even some strange projects.

Wang Zhen also had a whim and imitated Li Yan to buy a few stocks, but not only did he not earn, he lost thousands of yuan, losing all his lucky money.

"Same high school student, how can the gap be so big?"

Wang Zhen was unconvinced in his heart, but had to admit that Li Yan was indeed better at making money than him.

More importantly, Li Yan not only has a business mind, but also execution, every step he took carried a kind of stability that made people believe.

After three years, Li Yan's account balance had long exceeded one million, while his pocket money still came from his parents' "daily allocation".

Compared to "knowing how to make money", Wang Zhen envied Li Yan's "love report card" more.

In the three years of high school, Li Yan dated seven or eight girlfriends, and the ambiguous objects were countless.

In the second year of high school, he chased the most beautiful freshman girl in the grade. At that time, Wang Zhen was still hesitating whether to confess to a girl in the class with good grades.

In the third year of high school, Li Yan's ex-girlfriends were almost all school beauty-level figures in the grade, and Li Yan's reason for breaking up was always light: "No feeling, not suitable."

Wang Zhen remembered that once a few boys in the class joked and asked Li Yan, "How exactly did you chase so many girls?"

Li Yan just smiled indifferently and said, "Nothing, just be nice to them, chat more, and buy some small gifts they like by the way."

The words were light, but Wang Zhen knew clearly in his heart that this was by no means as simple as "chatting".

Li Yan's confidence, conversation, and that kind of clear sense of purpose were the keys to attracting girls.

Of course, spending one or two ten thousand yuan on LV or Chanel bags, how could he not attract girls?

Wang Zhen occasionally had the honor to experience Li Yan's lifestyle.

For example, Li Yan occasionally treated guests to dinner, going to high-end restaurants like Yunjingxuan with an average of several thousand;

Going to bars, not ordinary bars in small alleys, but top-tier places like Shangmei.

Every time Wang Zhen felt novel, but also felt a kind of gap hidden.

For example, in Yunjingxuan, he would be scared by the price of dishes when he habitually looked at the menu, while Li Yan could talk about future plans calmly, and even comment on the cooking methods of the dishes.

The few experiences in Shangmei bar made Wang Zhen remember even more deeply.

Li Yan could always book the best booth in the S-zone, and was even very familiar with the bar manager.

Every time he went, there were always beautiful girls willing to lean towards Li Yan, while he usually just sat on the side and drank quietly.

Despite this, Wang Zhen's attitude towards Li Yan was always a mixture of admiration and gratitude.

He envied Li Yan's confidence and ability, and also enjoyed being able to "open his eyes" as a friend.

Now, the college entrance examination is over, he chose a third-tier school in Sichuan, largely to keep in touch with Li Yan during college.

Wang Zhen felt that as long as he was in the same place as Li Yan, his life might change a little bit.

And Li Yan is naturally not a scatterer of money. The reason why he brought Wang Zhen, among which there is the reason that the two have a good relationship, the other point is that Wang Zhen is also very sensible.

Although the consumption gap between the two is large, Wang Zhen has never been just taking advantage.

Everyone treats each other, although the grades are different, but that heart, Li Yan can still feel it.

When the car stopped at the entrance of Shangmei bar, the neon lights and the low-pitched music coming from afar made the night full of a kind of luxurious tension.

Shangmei, this top-tier night venue in Lu Zhong City, is famous for its high consumption and top-tier service, and is a place that many people yearn for but shrink back from. ===== CHAPTER 15 =====
