Chapter 131


    Presently, many students were gathered in groups as they chattered away happily.


    Han nced around and after not managing to find Perry and Noah, he frowned slightly with worry.


    Why were the two of them not there yet! Could something have gone wrong?


    He found a quieter ce to sit down before taking out his phone, and sending a message to Noah. [I’m


    here. Where are you?]


    About five minutester. Noal texted his reply. [I’m in the subway. I’ll be there in a while.]


    [Where is Perry? Is he with you?]


    [He has some family matters, so he won’t being today.]


    [What happened?]


    It’s hard to exin through text, I’ll tell you when we meet.


    [Okay:]


    Han frowned slightly as he put down his phone.


    His instincts told him that Perry might be in trouble.


    However, since he didn’t have all the details, he couldn’t be sure. He could only wait for Noah to arrive


    before doing anything.


    He raised his head and looked around. He realized that many people were surrounding Corey like stars


    surrounding the moon. They were fawning over him and trying to get in his good graces.


    “Mr. Lanton, I heard that your two houses are going to be demolished. They’re seven floors in total. If


    the demolition takes ce, you’ll be a millionaire.”


    “Congrattions, Mr. Lanton.”


    “When I first met Mr. Lanton in high school, I already felt that he was not an ordinary person. He would


    definitely be a dragon among men in the future.”


    “Mr. Lanton,e on, let’s have a drink.”


    Those people smiled and looked at Corey with envy and respect.


    Corey’s family was not very rich, but he had a local rural household registration of Lightdom City. The


    compensation for the demolition of the two houses was as high as 20 million dors.


    As long as the demolition of the houses took ce, Corey would be a millionaire with a bright


    future.


    “Don’t do that. The matter has just been finalized. Our family hasn’t even signed the contract. It’s all


    nonsense. It’s not for definite yet.” Corey chuckled and waved his hand humbly.


    In fact, he was overjoyed.


    Although his family didn’t get the money, his vige was indeed included. As long as the developer


    began their work, their family could obtain at least tens of millions of dors aspensation. They


    could also obtain shares ofrge corporations. and three houses located in the city center.


    Such an asset was enough for him to go all the way to the top of the pyramid.


    This was also the reason why so many local students were fawning over him.


    Of the local demolition families in Lightdom City, many of them were only given millions. Only a few


    were given tens of


    millions


    Moreover, Corry was not only able to get a lot of money from the demolition, but he also owned a


    company worth around. a million dors. He could just be considered a giant among men.


    Combined with the demolitionpensation, Corey’spany might advance and achieve great


    things.


    That was why these students were so respectful toward Corey because of his potential.


    Corey also enjoyed this kind of ttery. He felt like a king. He was overjoyed and could not help but


    smile.


    “How childish.”


    Han looked at Corey and shook his head slightly.


    He lit a cigarette and smoked while he waited.


    As time passed, more and more students came over.


    However, most of these people were snobs and were not familiar with Han. Moreover, when they


    saw Han dressed so old-fashionedly, their gazes became even more disdainful. Theypletely


    ignored Han and went to chat with some other students who were dressed gorgeously and looked


    rich at a nce. The atmosphere was lively.


    No one cared about Han.


    He didn’t care about this. He smoked and waited quietly.


    In any case, high school gatherings, alumni association, and so on were all topare how they were


    doing.


    He was not here for Corey and the others. He was here for Perry and Noah.


    He didn’t care about the others.


    “Han,e, let’s have a drink together.”

    At this moment, Jim walked over with two sses of red wine. He handed one to Han with a smile


    and a grateful look in his eyes. “Thank you so much for what happenedst time.”


    Last time, if it weren’t for Han, he might have been in trouble..


    “It’s nothing. You don’t have to be so polite.” Han took the ss of wine and clinked sses with


    Jim.


    Jim sat beside Han. He looked at his ssmate who was sucking up to Corey but neglecting


    Han. He frowned slightly. “Han, why don’t you do something?”


    He knew that Han was now a millionaire. Moreover, he had specially looked at the shares that


    Han had bought. They had already increased several times.


    One could imagine how much wealth Han had.


    If Han revealed his wealth, the attitude of those snobbish students would definitely change.


    “I don’t even know them that well. What’s there to show?” Han said calmly.


    Jim nodded and looked at Han with even more admiration. He sighed. I really envy you for being so


    tolerant.”


    He felt that Han would be able to hide everything with ease.


    Even when he was looked down upon, Han remained calm and unaffected.


    This mentality made him envious and idolize Han,


    That was because he could not do it.


    If someone looked down on him and deliberately belittled him, he would definitely explode and show


    his trump card to p the other party’s face.


    Han was able to be so nonchnt and endure the ridicule and belittlement of others. It was


    impressive that he could endure it so silently.


    “Endure?” Han was stunned.


    “That’s right. Corey said so many outrageous things just now. Aren’t you angry?” asked Jim.


    “Oh, it’s nothing. In my eyes, he’s just a clown. There’s no need to get angry over a few words from


    them.” Han smiled.


    At that moment, the door opened and a thin man in in clothes walked in.


    He was good-looking, but his skin was dark. It was obvious that he had been tanned from working


    under the sun for a long time.


    He had short hair and looked especially energetic. It was obvious that he had put in a lot of effort to


    dress up, butpared to the gorgeous clothes of Corey and the others, he looked especially shabby


    and poor.


    His hands were covered in calluses. It was obvious that he often did manualbor.


    Moreover, his shoes were stained with mud. He had clearly juste from a ce where there was a


    muddy road. He was a migrant worker.


    This was the first impression the people present had of this


    person.


    He walked in, looking out of ce among the people present. He was stared at with disdain by many


    students


    After seeing the renovated environment of the room and being stared at by so many people, this


    person immediately felt a little restrained. His eyes were filled with inferiority and he avoided the eyes


    of others. He felt uneasy, as if he was guilty of walking in here,


    He stood rooted to the ground, not knowing where to go, let alone what to do.


    “Who is this? Why is a migrant worker walking into our gathering ce?”


    “Hey, you, this is the gathering ce for our ssmates. It’s not a ce for migrant workers like you.


    Get lost.”


    “Damn it, the migrant workers are really bold now They actually dare to sneak into our ss gathering


    to eat and drink. They must have a death wish!”


    “Look at him. His feet are covered in mud, and his pants and clothes are also covered in dust and mud.


    He’s so dirty! He’s simply lowering the style of our ss reunion


    “Hey, migrant worker, if you don’t get lost, we’re going to call security.”


    When many people saw this person, they were all furious and scolded him one after another, moring


    for him to get lost. When this person heard this, his eyes became even more evasive and ashamed. He


    even kept wiping the mud on his shoes with his feet, not daring to look up at the people present.


    “Noah, I’m here.”


    When Han saw this person, his eyes lit towards this person excitedly.


    1. He immediately stood up and waved at the migrant worker. He even walked


    When Noah saw Han, he was obviously stunned. He almost couldn’t recognize Han. After staring


    at Han for ten seconds, he finally recognized Han


    “Haha! I haven’t seen you in ages my friend.”


    Hanughed out loud. He rushed over and hugged Noah tightly. He was full of enthusiasm and did


    not care about Noah’s dirty clothes at all. He smiled and said. “Why are you sote? I missed you so


    much!”


    With that, he punched Noah in the chest. “Let’s go and have a drink. We should drink our guts out


    today.”


    Without any exnation, he pulled Noah to sit beside him and opened a bottle of red wine that was


    worth a few thousand


    dors.


    At that moment, Jim quietly distanced himself from Noah. A look of disgust shed across his eyes.


    Noah clearly felt Jim’s disgust and was even more at a loss.


    “Noah,e on, let’s drink!”


    Han poured a ss of red wine and handed it to Noah.


    “No need, no need. I don’t drink. Thank you.” Noah was overwhelmed by the favor and kept declining,


    appearing very restrained.


    He looked at the price of the red wine and was even more shocked. He did not dare to drink it.


    Han’s heart sank when he saw Noah like this.


    Noah and he did not seem to be as close as they were eight years ago. Their words were filled with


    politeness.


    “Noah, what happened all these years?” asked Han.


    In his memory, Noah was a high-spirited and ambitious rocker. He was dissatisfied with the secr


    world and was obsessed with his dreams. Every time he talked about his guitar dreams, there would be


    a dazzling light in his eyes.


    However, there was no light in Noah’s eyes now. He had be inferior, sensitive, and restrained.


    Life seemed to have changed him. It had taken away everything he was most proud of


    Han really wanted to know what Noah had been through all these years.


    “Hey!”


    Before Noah could answer, Tony had already walked over. He looked down at Noah with a cold and


    disdainful gaze. He then said coldly, “Noah, Mr. Lanton said that your status as a migrant worker has


    seriously lowered the standard of ourpany’s gathering and belittled our Mr. Lanton’s status.


    “Therefore, we don’t wee you here. Get lost, right now!”
