Wu Gang's face immediately fell. "Chen Jie, I'm not one to say, but I gave you a good job. Surely you don't hold a grudge because of my status, do you?"
"You're too ambitious!"
Chen Jie ignored him, his brow furrowed. He had been waiting for a while, and Jiang Xue still hadn't opened the door.
Seeing his silence, Wu Gang felt a bit displeased. He said directly, "You came all this way, didn't even drive, and you say I can't afford you. Look, you come to see a friend, and because of your status, they won't even open the door. Only I, your old classmate, am willing to talk to you."
"Who said I don't have a car?" Chen Jie frowned.
"Oh, right, right, you do, you just forgot to bring it. Is your car a Xiali or a Santana?" Wu Gang sneered.
Chen Jie gave him a cold glance, then pointed to the BMW sports car parked not far away. "See that car?"
"You can't be serious, saying that sports car is yours? Hahaha..." Wu Gang laughed contemptuously.
Chen Jie directly pulled out his car keys from his pocket and pressed the button.
The sports car's headlights immediately flashed.
Wu Gang's face froze.
Chen Jie scoffed, "With your trash-level ability, you think you can show off in front of me? The business you do, the money you make, can it even buy one of my cars?"
Although Wu Gang hid it well, Chen Jie could still see his loser aura.
Wu Gang's face flushed red. "You, you must have borrowed that sports car, right? A person's worth is still determined by their savings! Otherwise, who knows if your car is rented."
"Open your dog eyes and see clearly!" Chen Jie was no longer in the mood to waste words with him. He directly took out his phone from his pocket and displayed his balance.
Wu Gang took a look, and his expression became incredibly complex.
Because the balance showed over sixty million.
With tens of millions more, he was a proper billionaire.
"I'm curious, what kind of car do you drive, and what company do you own?"
Chen Jie said without mercy, "You probably thought someone like me, uneducated and useless, would be worse off than you. Unfortunately, I've disappointed you. This money is just the tip of my iceberg! Your proud little company is nothing but shit in front of me. Your annual profit is less than what I earn in a day. Get lost! Don't make a fool of yourself."
Wu Gang's face turned extremely red.
Because Chen Jie had guessed correctly.
The company he ran was only a small one with assets of a few million, and its annual profit was only a million.
And it was just starting out.
Compared to Chen Jie's tens of millions in savings, he was indeed being completely outclassed.
But soon he was unconvinced. "So what? As an excellent man like me, with the aura of a boss, many women throw themselves at me. What about you? You have so much money, but when you want to have fun, you can only find prostitutes, right? No one fancies you!"
"Everyone in the class group says that back then, those female classmates secretly had crushes on you, and now they regret it. You're just a hooligan. No matter how well you do, no one will ever fancy you!" Wu Gang said resentfully.
Just then, the villa door opened.
Jiang Xue poked her head out, frowning. "Chen Jie, why are you so late? We're almost done eating!"
The moment he saw her, Wu Gang was stunned.
In his entire life, he had never seen such a beautiful and elegant woman.
Compared to Yin Manman, Yin Manman was like a pile of shit.
In the past, he could only see such stunning beauties by flipping through pictures online.
Jiang Xue was wearing a nightgown, her slender legs exposed. A gentle breeze rustled her hair, and she looked like a filtered beauty brought to life.
No, it couldn't be!
This was too much of a slap in the face.
He couldn't believe that the friend Chen Jie was looking for was Jiang Xue.
Looking for her this late, he himself didn't quite believe that they had no relationship.
"Who is this..." Jiang Xue also saw Wu Gang and asked curiously.
"Hello, hello, I'm Chen Jie's old classmate, Wu Gang. Nice to meet you..." Wu Gang said nervously, with a lecherous look.
Jiang Xue was surprised. "This is the first time I've heard of Chen Jie having a classmate. Since you're classmates, why don't you both come in and sit for a while?"
"Okay!" Wu Gang said excitedly.
Chen Jie frowned. "He's just a loser, no need to let him in."
Jiang Xue immediately expressed her displeasure. "Chen Jie, have you become arrogant just because you have some skills? He's your classmate, after all. How can you chase him away? Come in, both of you!"
Wu Gang gave Chen Jie a triumphant look. A bold idea suddenly formed in his mind.
Although Chen Jie was slightly displeased, he didn't say anything.
"Chen Jie, come in and sit down quickly!"
Jiang Long, upon seeing Chen Jie, was extremely enthusiastic and chatted with him warmly.
After chatting for a while, Chen Jie was surprised to find that Wu Li, upon learning that Wu Gang also had the surname Wu, started talking to him.
She even inquired about Wu Gang's family background, a strange glint in her eyes.
"Uncle Jiang, this jade pendant is for you. Remember to wear it with you." Chen Jie found an opportunity to give Jiang Long a permanent defensive artifact he had made.
Jiang Long didn't know the function of the protective artifact, but he gladly accepted it, appreciating Chen Jie's thoughtfulness.
"Chen Jie, come with me for a moment." Jiang Xue approached Chen Jie and beckoned to him.
Today was a very important day for Jiang Xue, as the company controlled by the Jiang family was being established.
Chen Jie hadn't attended, and his father had scolded her for it.
She inwardly blamed Chen Jie for all of this.
The two entered Jiang Xue's room, and with a bang, Jiang Xue closed the door.
She then confronted Chen Jie, "The company is being established today, why didn't you come?"
Chen Jie frowned. "Why should I go?"
"You..."
Jiang Xue was taken aback, then speechless.
Indeed, Chen Jie had given all of the Zhou family's assets to her family. She and Chen Jie no longer had any relationship. Why should he attend?
Did she want to see him? Absolutely not!
Jiang Xue quickly complained, "Dad scolded me because you didn't come. He even said I bullied you!"
Chen Jie pondered for a moment and felt that Jiang Xue was quite wronged. In fact, the one who was bullied was Jiang Xue.
Thinking of this, he took out another permanent defensive artifact from his pocket and handed it to Jiang Xue. "Wear this around your neck."
Jiang Xue was stunned, then hesitantly took it and asked, "Is it the same as the one you gave Wang Fa?"
"Yes, but much stronger than the one for Wang Fa, and it's permanently effective," Chen Jie replied.
The reason he gave it to Jiang Xue was entirely for Jiang Long's sake.
Little did Chen Jie know that this jade pendant would soon save Jiang Xue's life.
"Did you give one to Xiao Yan?" Jiang Xue quickly asked.
"Not yet," Chen Jie replied without thinking much.
Jiang Xue's heart pounded, but she quickly glared at Chen Jie. "You scoundrel, so that's your plan. Aren't you afraid I'll tell Xiao Yan?"
