Chapter 7: The Reunion Turmoil

At that moment, the sharp ring of a phone echoed. Jiang Jin picked it up and saw the name Liusi Liu flashing on the screen. He smiled faintly and answered the call.

“Here already? Hmm, come to private room 403.”

Zhao Wen asked curiously, “Is someone else coming?”

Jiang Jin nodded. “Yeah, my secretary. You might know her too.”

Zhao Wen sneered, “You have a secretary?”

Yang Xue let out a cold laugh, her tone cutting. “Jiang Jin, tonight you’re acting like a clown. I’m really glad I broke up with you back then!”

Li Ming joined in the jeering, “Well, well, now a materials engineer has a secretary? Never heard of that!”

Sun Kai teased, “Do you still need one? I want to find a secretary too.”

Wang Linlin’s lips curled into a disdainful smile, eyes filled with contempt. “Hah, I hate men who talk big but have no real skills.”

Sun Kai, Li Ming, and Wang Linlin all spoke with a sarcastic tone.

Though the others stayed silent, they all felt Jiang Jin was bragging far beyond reason.

They were all classmates, after all—everyone knew each other.

Facing the veiled mockery around him, Jiang Jin remained unfazed, a subtle smile playing on his lips as he spoke calmly, “I’m simply stating the facts. Do you really have to get so worked up? She’ll be here soon. If I’m bluffing, you can just wait and see.”

Zhao Wen’s eyes glinted with mischief and challenge. “Fine, I’m curious to see how you’ll play this act out!”

Silence fell over the room once more.

Two minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

Zhao Wen, thinking it was a waiter, said impatiently, “Come in.”

With a click, the door opened, and a young woman stepped inside. She wore a gray professional suit, black stockings, black high heels, and black-rimmed glasses. Her aura was icy and refined, with a face of top-tier beauty and an astonishing figure.

According to Professor Guo, if such a beauty went jogging, she could bruise her own face!

She was tall too—probably about 1.78 meters in heels—a supermodel’s figure!

The male classmates gasped inwardly.

At that moment, they felt as if they were witnessing the very images of teachers and secretaries from their treasured study materials.

Absolutely stunning!

“Secretary Liu, you’re here?”

Zhao Wen jumped up from his chair.

But Liu Sisi ignored him completely and briskly approached Jiang Jin with a respectful greeting.

“Sorry to keep you waiting, boss! Here are the ownership documents for Supernova Special Materials Co., Ltd. Please have a look.”

Liu Sisi pulled a brown paper envelope from her briefcase, her beautiful eyes secretly appraising Jiang Jin.

She was a recent graduate from the Business Management Department of Shuimu University’s School of Economics and Management. Ten days ago, she had received an offer from Supernova Technology.

The position was executive secretary, with an annual salary of one million yuan, half of which could be advanced upon joining, plus a 10% raise every year.

After careful consideration, she accepted the offer and was sent to Dong City, entrusted with overseeing the acquisition of Dong City Special Materials Co., Ltd.

Until the acquisition was complete, she only then received a photo and phone number of her boss.

Seeing him in person, she realized he was even more handsome than in the photo. Her heart fluttered wildly.

The other classmates gasped again.

Wow, Jiang Jin wasn’t bluffing! He really did have a secretary—and such a stunning one at that!

Unbelievable!

Wait... Supernova?

“I can’t believe it, Jiang Jin, you’re the mysterious boss?”

Only then did everyone realize—the mysterious boss Zhao Wen had been bragging about was Jiang Jin?

“That’s right. I’m the boss of Supernova.”

Jiang Jin nodded and took the brown envelope.

Bang!

Yang Xue’s phone dropped to the floor.

Zhao Wen’s legs went weak; he barely held himself up by gripping the armrest.

Those words struck them like a thunderbolt, smashing into their minds!

Their heads buzzed and their blood surged wildly!

A man they had all considered a loser had suddenly transformed into a billionaire who just spent 800 million yuan acquiring a company?

And they had just mercilessly mocked him, tearing him down completely!

It was like a street beggar mocking a prince—utterly humiliating!

The most devastated was Yang Xue, who had dumped Jiang Jin because he was poor, only to find out he was now vastly wealthier than Li Ming!

Was she the real clown after all?

Jiang Jin looked at Yang Xue coldly, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes. “Yang Xue, to me, you’re just a passerby.”

“Whether I drive luxury cars or date someone, it’s because I want to, nothing to do with you. Don’t embarrass yourself by playing the clown anymore.”

As Jiang Jin’s words landed, Yang Xue’s face went pale, and she collapsed to the floor.

The others mocked her silently but couldn’t help feeling a twinge of pity.

Missing out on someone like Jiang Jin, a billionaire, would haunt her forever.

Jiang Jin turned to Zhao Wen, eyes icy. “And you, Zhao Wen, Supernova’s cooperation with your family is over.”

“If your family business collapses, remember why you acted so arrogantly in the first place.”

Zhao Wen’s eyes widened in terror. “No, Jiang Jin, you can’t do this!”

Without waiting for Jiang Jin’s command, Wu Qingya sprang up and executed a flawless martial arts move, pinning Zhao Wen’s hand behind his back on the floor!

The classmates gasped. Damn, Wu Qingya was fierce!

Jiang Jin, seeing this, thought to himself that with such fighting skills, Wu Qingya might not make a good secretary after all. Maybe... a queen instead?

“This room’s a bit small. Anyone who wants a bigger private room, come with me.”

With that, Jiang Jin stood and headed out.

Almost instantly, the others stood up without hesitation.

Even Sun Kai, Li Ming, and Wang Linlin weren’t exceptions.

They all knew it was time to pick sides. Compared to Jiang Jin, Zhao Wen was nothing; there was no need to think twice about whom to follow.

Zhao Wen and Yang Xue watched helplessly as everyone left the room without a word.

Betrayed and utterly abandoned.

Soon, they arrived at the large private room.

Jiang Jin took the head seat, flanked by Wu Qingya and Liu Sisi.

Once everyone was seated, a tide of flattery engulfed Jiang Jin.

Wang Linlin was the first to pile on, “I told you, Yang Xue. Breaking up with him was the biggest mistake of your life. See? I was right.”

Sun Kai nodded with a sycophantic smile. “Exactly! If she were still with Jiang Jin, would she be driving a BMW X5? She’d be in a Rolls-Royce by now!”

Li Ming was quick to chime in, “Zhao Wen’s family is rich, sure, but compared to Mr. Jiang, they’re nowhere near.”

Li Ming and Sun Kai’s shamelessness was on full display.

Though the others were more subtle, a few compliments were inevitable.

Jiang Jin was filled with emotion. When he was poor and powerless, these people mocked him mercilessly.

Now that he was a billionaire, the same group suddenly spoke sweetly.

This is human nature!

After the flattery died down, someone finally asked how Jiang Jin suddenly got so rich.

Jiang Jin smiled slightly and casually invented a story, “I have a great-uncle who’s a billionaire. He has no heirs, so he left his entire fortune to me.”

Everyone else was envious.

After the feast, Jiang Jin paid the bill—19,888 yuan, rounded up to 20,000, the extra considered a tip.

Jiang Jin instructed, “Sisi, notify all supervisors and above: there’s a meeting at 9 a.m. tomorrow in Conference Room 1. I have an important announcement.”

Now that the company was secured, it was time to deal with Chen Wei and Ma Weiguo.

Back at the Four Seasons Hotel, Jiang Jin took a cold shower, wrapped himself in a bathrobe, and stepped out onto the balcony outside the master bedroom, holding a glass of red wine.

Coincidentally, a figure stood on the balcony of the adjacent suite—a woman.

She wore a white silk nightgown, held a wine glass in her left hand, and rested her right hand on the railing, gazing thoughtfully at the scenery.

Even just her profile stunned Jiang Jin.

Perhaps sensing his gaze, the woman in white turned to look at him briefly.

After a moment of surprise, she turned back and re-entered her room.

That fleeting glance finally revealed her face to Jiang Jin.

Delicate brows, breathtaking beauty, unparalleled elegance!
