Chapter 1769: There’s No One Here
Little Wang was a little nervous when Jing Xiaolu glanced at him. He didn’t know whether Jing Xiaolu was scolding him for being impolite, or was satisfied by the way he addressed her just now. While he was still thinking about it, Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu stood up and walked towards the receptionist. Little Wang and Sun Xiaoran were both left behind.

What are you doing? Why are you stunned over there?
Sun Xiaoran frowned after seeing Little Wang standing there blankly. She anxiously pushed him a little from behind.
Brother Yang and Jing Xiaolu have already left.


Ah!

 Little Wang came back to his senses and sighed bitterly.
I was thinking whether it was correct to call President Jing as sister-in-law Xiaolu. Her gaze just now, was she praising or criticizing me?


You’re worried about this?
Sun Xiaoran didn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
Aren’t you a little too dense?




Why? Do you know?
asked Little Wang as he turned his head in surprise.

Of course!
Sun Xiaoran looked at Little Wang proudly and said,
I’m also a woman. I could easily tell what Jing Xiaolu meant just now.


Then tell me quickly. What did she mean? It’s making me anxious !
Little Wang looked at Sun Xiaoran a little anxiously.

Of course, she’s happy!
Sun Xiaoran smiled.
If it was something else, how could I not remind you? It is apparent that Jing Xiaolu likes your boss, Brother Yang, a lot. Of course, she would feel good if you called her sister-in-law Xiaolu.


If that’s the case, I can relax.
Little Wang let out a sigh of relief.

Ge Xinyao and Jing Xiaolu already have a close relationship since they studied together. Since Bi Hai called her that, there’s no way calling her that way would turn out wrongly. Just relax!
said Sun Xiaoran.

That’s good. Xiaoran, you also know that this job didn’t come easily. Everyone respects us. Your parents’ also changed their attitude because of this. I cannot afford to lose this job,
said Little Wang as he nodded.

Of course. However, I can tell that Brother Yang and Xiaolu aren’t such petty people. They will not care much about this small stuff towards those who treat them sincerely. However, they will care for those who treat them badly. I feel like this Zhang Kaiyuan will suffer later,
Sun Xiaoran analyzed.

Really? From what I saw, Brother Yang did not really care about Zhang Kaiyuan,
Little Wang’s vision was not as clear as Sun Xiaoran.

That was because Brother Yang didn’t pay any attention to him at all. If Zhang Kaiyuan doesn’t know how to behave, then it will be natural for him to suffer,
said Sun Xiaoran.



If he doesn’t know how to behave, I will be the first one to deal with him!
said Little Wang as he clenched his fist.

It will be fine if you step forward, but you still aren’t experienced enough. You have to be clear about your leader’s thoughts. Only go out when Brother Yang asks you to. Don’t make your own plans,
Sun Xiaoran reminded him.

It seems like you know more than me.
Little Wang remembered Sun Xiaoran’s words. He fastened his steps and caught up with Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu.
Wherever Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu walked, the students ahead would give way for them. Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu had turned into the main characters of this class reunion.
Zhang Kaiyuan took the room card and entered the restaurant. According to Zhang Kaiyuan’s arrangement, he would sit at the table in the front. The guests at that table would be those who were most successful among all of the students. However, the situation had changed now. Not only had two variables like Sun Xiaoran and Ge Xinyao come, but even Jing Xiaolu had become mightier than anyone.
Originally, Jing Xiaolu was arranged to be seated at the same table as him. However, it wasn’t because Jing Xiaolu was doing great, but because of his personal reasons. Firstly, he wanted to get closer to Jing Xiaolu. Secondly, if those who had money and authority were seated together, their topic of discussion would definitely revolve around business and money. Once Jing Xiaolu heard it, she would definitely have some thoughts and start to get jealous of their rich life. When the time came, he would just have to put in a little more effort to successfully pursue Jing Xiaolu.
However, with the current situation, it would be awkward if Jing Xiaolu sat at this spot. For those students who were doing well, Zhang Kaiyuan had already given them a call beforehand. He confirmed how many people could come and whether they were bringing their partners or not. As for Jing Xiaolu, he instinctively concluded that she had no boyfriend, which meant that he only left a single seat for her.
Because Zhang Kaiyuan was afraid that everyone would mess their seats up, he had already told the resort to place name tags at every table. As for his table, there was only a name tag for Jing Xiaolu. There was no name tag for Yang Ming.
If Jing Xiaolu sits here, then what about Yang Ming?
 Although he wanted Jing Xiaolu to sit here and let Yang Ming do whatever he wanted to, he knew that he would definitely be in trouble when he saw the bodyguard driver Little Wang’s stare.
It would definitely be unacceptable if he didn’t let Jing Xiaolu sit here. After all, he had already placed her name tag here. It would turn out to be a mess if he did not allow her to sit here.


Everything would still be fine if Jing Xiaolu weren’t the chairperson of Ming Yang Entertainment. However, since Jing Xiaolu had this status, it would be belittling her if she were to be seated at other tables.
If he had arranged Jing Xiaolu at another beforehand, then there would be no such problems as he could just say that he did not know about this beforehand. However, now…
When Zhang Kaiyuan entered the restaurant, he was in a troubled situation. Zhang Kaiyuan frowned as he saw everyone finding their name tags. This Yang Ming looked frail, but Little Wang beside him was hard to deal with. This was definitely not the right time to offend Yang Ming.
This was also because of how weak Yang Ming acted before this. He only used his mouth to criticize Zhang Kaiyuan, so Zhang Kaiyuan had the thought of wanting to deal with Yang Ming. If Yang Ming knew about this, who knew what his thoughts would be. One couldn’t be too kind after all.

Brother Yang, sister-in-law Xiaolu’s seat is here!
Little Wang looked around the whole restaurant, and finally found Jing Xiaolu’s name at the front table.
Actually, there were only five names on every table. This was to convenience those that brought their relatives. As for those unimportant students, Zhang Kaiyuan did not really look into them. He simply emptied up some space at every table. Everyone could just sit together and talk to each other.
Just as he was thinking about how to explain Jing Xiaolu’s seat, he heard Little Wang clear his throat. Zhang Kaiyuan was immediately frightened and almost had a heart attack.

I’ll sit elsewhere… Let Brother Yang and Xiaolu sit here…
Zhang Kaiyuan could not think of a solution and was afraid of Little Wang. He was afraid that he would get beaten up by Little Wang if he didn’t say anything either, so he could only back out. He could only offer his seat to Yang Ming.
However, Zhang Kaiyuan also secretly made a vow in his heart. Yang Ming, I will definitely return the shame you brought on me today by a hundred-fold! You’re just a rich family’s child and you aren’t capable at all. You think that you are powerful. Just wait until the time when Little Wang isn’t by your side. Hmph hmph.

However, Little Wang seemed like he didn’t even care about him. He didn’t even look at Zhang Kaiyuan. He just directly took Zhang Kaiyuan’s name tag and threw it onto the ground. After that, he even stepped on it and waved his hand at Yang Ming that was far away.
Brother Yang, such a coincidence. There’s an empty seat here, and it’s beside sister-in-law Xiaolu’s seat.



Zhang Kaiyuan was angry when he saw Little Wang’s actions. However, he did not dare to do anything, and could only hold his anger in. He already said that he would let Yang Ming sit in his seat, yet Little Wang still humiliated him. Little Wang had thrown his name tag onto the ground and even stepped on it.
However, he could only be angry. Zhang Kaiyuan dared not do anything to Little Wang and did not even think of revenge. This was because he was afraid of Little Wang’s status as a security guard. Security guards were strong and could fight three men alone. If they weren’t like this, nobody would want to hire them.
While he was scolding Little Wang fiercely in his heart, he smiled apologetically and said,
Yea, there’s no one sitting there…

Chapter 1770: The Most Successful Person, Please Go Up On Stage
Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu heard Little Wang’s voice and walked over. They saw the name tag with
Jing Xiaolu
written on it on the foremost table.

Brother Yang, it’s here.
Little Wang pointed at Jing Xiaolu’s name tag and said,
Look, there’s even an empty seat next to hers.

While Little Wang was speaking, he used his leg to kick Zhang Kaiyuan’s name tag away forcefully.
Zhang Kaiyuan was so angry that his whole body trembled but he could only hold it in and say,
Indeed, there’s an empty seat here…


Little Wang, where are you going to sit?
Yang Ming looked at Little Wang and asked.

I’m sitting with Xiaoran at the back. We’re sitting together with Ge Xinyao and Bi Hai.
Little Wang pointed to the table right at the back.


During last year’s class reunion, Little Wang, Sun Xiaoran, Bi Hai, and Ge Xinyao were those who were doing the worst. They were not prioritized by Zhang Kaiyuan at all and were seated at the back table. They were left to play around by themselves.
He also did not expect himself to make such a comeback. When Little Wang was talking, Zhang Kaiyuan felt awkward again. Luckily, Little Wang did not argue about this matter, which made Zhang Kaiyuan sigh in relief. He was afraid that Little Wang would find trouble.

Yang Ming, how about we sit together with Sister Xinyao at the back as well? Little Wang and the others are also there. We all know each other after all. We also don’t really know those in front,
asked Jing Xiaolu while looking at Yang Ming.

Sure. I’ll follow whatever you say,
Yang Ming nodded as he agreed. Jing Xiaolu could sit wherever she wanted to. Yang Ming was just accompanying Jing Xiaolu here after all. Since he did not know anyone else here, it was the same wherever he sat. He was closer to Bi Hai, Little Wang, and the others.

Then, let’s sit at the back. Little Wang, help me take my name tag. We’ll go to the back,
Jing Xiaolu ordered Little Wang.

Alright, sister-in-law Xiaolu!
Little Wang agreed happily and called her
sister-in-law Xiaolu
again. Since he had gotten Xiaoran’s pointers, Little Wang now knew how to make Jing Xiaolu happy.
Sure enough, Jing Xiaolu’s face turned red again. She glanced at Little Wang and said,
Little Wang, do not address me like that in the office. However, it’s not a problem if it’s in private…


Hehe,
 I understand!
Little Wang naturally knew the rules. He would not call Jing Xiaolu that in front of so many people in the office. It would be too inappropriate. Instead,
in private
meant when he was together with Yang Ming. Yang Ming was his leader, so it was only natural to call Jing Xiaolu that.
Little Wang picked up Jing Xiaolu’s name tag and wanted to leave together with Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu. Suddenly, he remembered something and stopped his steps. He bent down and picked up Zhang Kaiyuan’s name tag that was covered with footprints on the floor. He then placed it at its previous location and mumbled to himself,
I remember that someone was supposed to be sitting here. Go ahead and sit!

Zhang Kaiyuan was boiling in rage. He didn’t feel like living anymore after being shamed by Little Wang in front of so many students. It’s too shameful! I can’t bear it anymore!

When Zhang Kaiyuan saw that the students wanted to laugh but were holding it in because of respect, his blood vessels almost burst in anger.

Why aren’t you sitting down?
Little Wang asked innocently after looking at Zhang Kaiyuan who was blue in the face. Without waiting for Zhang Kaiyuan to answer, Little Wang continued saying,
Oh, right, I get it. This name tag is too dirty, and it’s a little unclear. Just rub it and it’ll be fine.

After he finished talking, Little Wang picked up the name tag and rubbed it a few times on Zhang Kaiyuan’s shirt, staining it with mud.

Done. Can you see it clearly this time?
Little Wang patted off the mud on his hand. After that, he turned around and left without looking at Zhang Kaiyuan’s expression.
Zhang Kaiyuan took two deep breaths before finally calming down his emotions. His smile reappeared.
Haha,
 this Brother Little Wang is quite humorous.

Facing Zhang Kaiyuan’s self-mockery, everyone on the seats started laughing. However, it wasn’t clear if they were laughing at Zhang Kaiyuan so-called
humorous
, or because Zhang Kaiyuan was a weakling himself.
Those students that were doing well in this society were mostly slick and sly. Although they felt that he was very shameless, they did not speak their thoughts out.
Although they felt that Yang Ming should never be offended, there was no need to offend Zhang Kaiyuan as well. Who knew when they could use him. Because of this, everyone was still conversing very happily.
Although Zhang Kaiyuan was still talking with everyone and looked like he had forgotten his previous displeasure, only he knew that this matter was like a fishbone stuck in his throat. He felt that everyone’s gazes were a little strange…
Although Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu were walking ahead, they saw what Little Wang did very clearly and started laughing. This Little Wang has some of my previous style. He is such a genius.

They walked to the last few tables at the back of the restaurant. There was basically no one there anymore, and every table wasn’t filled. It was apparent that those students that were doing great had squeezed to the front. They would rather add some chairs at the tables in front than sit at the back.
As for those students at the back, they knew that they weren’t doing very well and couldn’t bring themselves to go mingle with everyone else, which caused this scene to happen.
In fact, most people came here not for the meal, but mainly to converse with everyone else. Because of this, as long as the front tables had space, they would forcefully squeeze themselves in.
When Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu walked over, Ge Xinyao and Bi Hai quickly stood up. Sun Xiaoran hesitated for a while and stood up as well. Although she wasn’t one of Yang Ming and Jing Xiaolu’s office employees, her man’s future was related to the two of them. Sun Xiaoran dared not disrespect them.

The back is much quieter. The front is too noisy. It’s so tiring,
Jing Xiaolu complained as she sat beside Ge Xinyao.
Those students who were complaining about not doing well had their spirits lifted when they saw the few overbearing newcomers Jing Xiaolu, Yang Ming, Bi Hai, and Little Wang. Originally, no one would come to their tables every year during the class reunion. Those who were doing well would never come here.
This time, Yang Ming sat at the back with them and gave them some glory. Among those people with Yang Ming, they were previously like them and weren’t successful at all. However, they succeeded this year and became the most powerful ones in the class. This had lifted their spirits and motivation and made them feel that there was hope for their future. As long as they worked hard, they might become successful as well.
They also started encouraging each other and promised to not sit in the front, but at the back every year even if they became successful. They wanted to prove to the students in front that the students at the back weren’t incapable.
Originally, according to his previous arrangements, Zhang Kaiyuan wanted to give a speech before everyone started eating. He had pulled a few all-nighters to create a motivational speech and wanted to read it out here.
However, after being humiliated by Little Wang, he did not have the mood to give a speech on the stage. Besides, under this situation, what would the others think if he were to give a motivational speech?
After contemplating for a long time, Zhang Kaiyuan decided to give up on giving a speech. Just as he wanted to inform the resort to cancel the speech before the meal, the restaurant started broadcasting Carl Off’s
Cantata
. Following the powerful song, the resort’s emcee walked out. He used his loud voice so say,
Everyone, welcome to Thirty Nine Middle School 02 Batch Sixth Class’s class reunion. I am your host, Yu Zai. Everyone below, please welcome our class’s most successful person upstage to give us a speech. Can everyone guess who it is?


Jing Xiaolu!
An anonymous person shouted it out, and everyone followed,
Jing Xiaolu, it’s Jing Xiaolu…

Zhang Kaiyuan’s face was very gloomy. Originally, he was the most successful person in this class. He arranged this host here just to show off his identity and position. However, he never expected something else to interfere with his plan. Jing Xiaolu’s accomplishments had surpassed him and caused him to be in such an awkward state.
