Chapter 44: Chapter 44: Fix whoever you don’t like

”Li Song has a point. Qin Qing might be beautiful, but who would want to marry a block of ice?”

”What’s the use of being pretty? She has a cold personality, no emotional intelligence, and a stoic expression. I bet Qin Qing can only land a job as a receptionist or something, just a decorative vase.”

”If Qin Qing knew how well you’re doing now, Jiajia, she’d be so envious and jealous.”

At this point, all the classmates were siding with Fan Jiajia, assuming that Qin Qing couldn’t possibly be doing as well as her. In truth, this was all because Qin Qing was too low-key. If her classmates knew that she was the young miss of the Qin Family, had previously served as the president of the Qin Corporation, and was now the Chairwoman of the Zhulu Group, they probably wouldn’t be saying such things.

Hearing her classmates’ words, Fan Jiajia felt they had a point. She had always been overshadowed by Qin Qing during their university days. Now that she had finally turned the tables, she just had to show off in front of her old rival.

Just then, a taxi pulled up nearby.

Ye Xiu and Qin Qing got out of the car.

Fan Jiajia couldn’t help but burst out laughing. ”Qin Qing, you actually came by taxi? It’s been so long since graduation, and you still can’t afford a car?”

The other classmates also shot her disdainful looks. They had imagined Qin Qing wasn’t doing well, but they never expected things to be this bad.

The moment Qin Qing stepped out of the car, Li Shaofan’s eyes went wide. A beauty! Absolutely gorgeous! How could a girl this beautiful exist?

In that instant, Fan Jiajia seemed like a country bumpkin in his eyes, completely incomparable to Qin Qing.

”Taking a taxi is convenient,” Qin Qing said simply.

”It seems you’re really not doing too well,” Fan Jiajia sneered, pointing at Li Shaofan’s Range Rover. ”See that car? It belongs to my boyfriend.”

Her words dripped with a smug sense of superiority and the sweet taste of revenge.

Qin Qing was speechless. So Fan Jiajia thinks we took a taxi because we can’t afford a car.

However, she didn’t take it to heart. I came to this reunion out of nostalgia, to reconnect with my classmates, not to show off. Besides, if we were really going to compare wealth, is there anyone on Earth richer than Ye Xiu?

At that moment, Li Shaofan took the initiative to approach Qin Qing. Acting like a perfect gentleman, he said, ”You must be Jiajia’s classmate, Qin Qing, right? I’m Jiajia’s boyfriend, Li Shaofan.”

In his view, all women loved rich men. If he introduced himself now, she might even contact him secretly later.

”Hello,” Qin Qing nodded.

The smile on Li Shaofan’s face froze. Qin Qing’s expression was too cold, her tone too flat, her gaze too calm. This was not the reaction a wealthy man was supposed to receive. Pretentious! This woman must be putting on an act!

So, Li Shaofan pulled out a pack of cigarettes, offering one to Ye Xiu. ”You must be Qin Qing’s boyfriend, right? Here, have one. I bet you haven’t smoked many of this quality before, have you?”

”Sorry, cigarettes this good are a bit too rich for my blood. I’ll stick to my own,” Ye Xiu replied, sneering inwardly. Trying to show off his wealth in front of me? He’s just asking for it.

The moment Li Shaofan saw the cigarettes Ye Xiu pulled out, his composure cracked, his expression turning awkward. Qin Qing’s male classmates were also stunned. To the dignified Huang Quan, the richest man in the world, stooping to the level of a few country bumpkins was out of the question.

”By the way, Li Shaofan, you haven’t told us what you do for a living,” Li Song chimed in.

The question was a subtle bit of bootlicking. It was intentionally asked in front of Ye Xiu and Qin Qing, giving Li Shaofan and Fan Jiajia a perfect chance to land a blow.

Li Shaofan and Fan Jiajia, of course, understood Li Song’s intention.

Fan Jiajia said proudly, ”Li Shaofan owns his own renovation company.”

”So you’re your own boss,” Li Song said with an admiring look. ”I hear the renovation business is really profitable. You must make hundreds of thousands a year, right?”

”Oh, not that much,” Li Shaofan said with false modesty. ”Only about eight hundred thousand to a million.”

As he spoke, he shot a provocative glance at Ye Xiu, then another at Qin Qing, only to see them both watching him as if he were an idiot.

Ye Xiu and Qin Qing were simply enjoying the show. One of life’s greatest pleasures is watching someone less capable than you try to show off in your presence; it’s rather amusing.

”Qin Qing, what about your boyfriend? What does he do for work?” Li Song asked, seizing the perfect moment.

There’s no harm without comparison. Now that Li Shaofan’s job was out in the open, it was the perfect time to contrast it with Ye Xiu’s.

”A repairman,” Ye Xiu said.

PFFT!

Everyone burst out laughing.

Fan Jiajia and Li Shaofan laughed the hardest.

”He’s so handsome, like one of those pretty-boy celebrities. I thought he was some eighteenth-tier starlet, but it turns out he’s just a repairman,” Fan Jiajia managed to say, laughing so hard she could barely breathe. Her voice dripped with scorn. ”Qin Qing, you didn’t have to settle for a repairman, did you?”

The other classmates joined in the laughter.

”Jiajia, you shouldn’t look down on repairmen,” Li Shaofan chided her with feigned seriousness. ”Repairmen are an indispensable part of this city. Their work might be a little dirty and tiring, and it doesn’t pay much, but at least they earn an honest living to support their families.”

”Alright, alright, my mistake!” Fan Jiajia feigned an apology, laughing as she asked, ”So, what do you repair? If anything in my house breaks, maybe I can call you to fix it.”

”I fix people who displease me,” Ye Xiu said calmly.
