C332 The World Was Cold
Not all of these people were Xu Jiao's friends. Many of them didn't even know each other, so it was naturally impossible for them to know each other.
However, a few of them still recognized Loong Wei. Immediately, their eyes sparkled as they sized up Loong Wei. Then, they turned around and looked at Lu Ming. All of them had a playful smile on their faces.
"I am Loong Wei." Loong Wei smiled.
When they heard this name, the rest of their faces darkened.
Back then, Lu Ming crazily chased after Xu Jiao, but Xu Jiao later went together with Loong Wei. Now, Xu Jiao actually went to the gathering with Loong Wei. This could not help but make people think of something.
Now, Loong Wei and Lu Ming could be said to be rivals in love.
Everyone looked at Lu Ming, then looked at Loong Wei, and could not help but shake their heads.
On the love field, Lu Ming had once been defeated by Loong Wei, but now it was different. After stepping into society, it was no longer just love and no love between men and women.
What they were competing against now was social connections, relationships, and wealth.
In any case, Loong Wei was beaten up by Lu Ming.
Everyone knew in their hearts that as long as Lu Ming showed a little bit of interest, Xu Jiao would naturally take the initiative to throw herself into his arms. Loong Wei did not have any ability to compete at all.
When Lu Ming saw Loong Wei, he was also slightly startled. A trace of gloominess flashed across his eyes and disappeared in a flash. He smiled and said: "So it's Loong Wei. I said he looks so familiar."
"I wonder where you are now?"
"I'm unemployed now." Loong Wei told the truth.
Hearing what Loong Wei said, everyone looked at him with even more contempt.
You are just a jobless wanderer, what right do you have to compete with Lu Ming for Xu Jiao?
Lu Ming is worth billions!
As for Loong Wei, he is already in his twenties, but he can't even find a job. The difference is too great!
A hint of disdain flashed across Lu Ming's eyes. He had originally regarded Loong Wei as a formidable opponent, but now it seemed like Loong Wei had no right to compete with him.
At this moment, a slightly plump man said to Loong Wei earnestly, "Find a good job and do it first. Don't bite off more than you can chew."
"CEO Lu is as old as you. He is now a super billionaire. Although you won't be able to reach this height in your life, you can't just eat and wait to die!"
"No!" Another person echoed, looking like he was doing good for Loong Wei. "Loong Wei, we all know about your relationship with CEO Lu, but that was a long time ago."
"CEO Lu has a few companies in his hands now. Why don't you beg him to arrange a position for you?"
Without a doubt, Loong Wei had become the worst person in their eyes.
Only Huo Gaang and Fang Lei's lips twitched.
Loong Wei was someone who even Manager Jiang treated respectfully. Although they didn't know what Loong Wei's background was, they didn't need to beg Lu Ming for a job.
Lu Ming naturally didn't know what Huo Gaang and the others were thinking. He pretended to shake the red wine glass and said indifferently: "Since we are all friends, Loong Wei and Xu Jiao will drink with me. I will arrange a job for Loong Wei."
After saying that, Lu Ming looked at Loong Wei with a smile. To be able to humiliate his former love rival in front of everyone and make him toast to him, how satisfying was that?
When they heard this, everyone looked at Loong Wei with schadenfreude.
Especially those who mocked and ridiculed Loong Wei earlier, they were all waiting for Loong Wei to suffer defeat with anticipation.
However, Loong Wei shook his head and refused. "No need, I don't need it."
Everyone's faces darkened. Immediately, they started to make trouble. "Loong Wei. CEO Lu is doing this for your own good. Don't be ungrateful."
"If you don't have the ability, it doesn't matter. CEO Lu kindly arranged a job for you, but you don't accept it?"
"That's right. CEO Lu thinks highly of you, that's why he arranged a job for you. He really doesn't want face!"
Everyone spoke one after another, criticizing Loong Wei.
Loong Wei only felt that this group of people was just a bunch of clowns. When everyone's voices fell, Loong Wei finally spoke indifferently. "Don't use your ignorance to judge me. It's your business if you want to please Lu Ming. Don't use me as a stepping stone."
"You!" When everyone heard what Loong Wei said, they immediately became angry from embarrassment.
"Are you guys here for a gathering or for a fight?" At this moment, Xu Jiao said coldly from the side, "If you are here to fight, I will invite you guys out to fight!"
After all, they were friends. Xu Jiao never thought that this group of people would go so far. They mocked and ridiculed Loong Wei the moment they met.
Everyone looked at each other in dismay and immediately stopped talking.
Lu Ming, on the other hand, pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand. He said with a fake smile, "Loong Wei, Xu Jiao, don't be angry. Everyone is joking."
"Yes, joking." The others also smiled and followed Lu Ming's words. "We are all friends. We can't not even afford to make such a small joke, right?"
Loong Wei smiled and did not say anything. He was too lazy to argue with this group of people. Xu Jiao shook her head helplessly and did not say anything else.
"Serve the dishes." Lu Ming saw that the atmosphere was a little awkward and quickly called the waiter to serve the dishes.
Then, the delicacies were gradually served on the noodles. The ingredients were of high quality, the colors, fragrance, and taste were all there, making everyone's index fingers move.
At this moment, heavy footsteps suddenly sounded from outside the door, followed by an extremely heavy voice, "Everyone... Sorry, sorry, I'm late!"
A man with bronze-colored skin and a strong build pushed the door open and entered the room apologetically.
"Zhang Lei?" Everyone frowned when they saw the man enter the room. They looked unhappy.
"Take a seat here." Loong Wei waved at Zhang Lei. Zhang Lei nodded and sat down next to Loong Wei.
Loong Wei had a deep impression of Zhang Lei. This man was born with extraordinary strength, and he was famous in his circle of friends. However, when something happened at home, he was busy taking care of his family, and he gradually cut off contact with everyone.
"I'm sorry everyone, I'll punish myself by drinking three cups!" Zhang Lei apologized again and poured three cups of wine. He drank it all in a carefree manner. It was very heroic.
The faces of the surrounding people darkened as they berated. "Zhang Lei, this wine is more than two thousand a bottle. Do you think it is a twenty yuan Erguotou?"
"No, what punishment three cups. To put it nicely, it's purely taking advantage of others!"
Everyone was very unhappy. Such a good wine, if Zhang Lei drank one more mouthful, they would drink one less. After three cups, there was not even half left.
Zhang Lei chuckled and wiped the sweat off his face. He smiled and said: "I'm sorry, everyone. I ran over from home. That's why I'm late. "
"You came from home?" Everyone exclaimed when they heard this. It was such a long way. This fellow actually ran all the way here?
"It's fine. It's only eight kilometers. I used to run a lot back then." Zhang Lei said indifferently, "Besides, I still need to save money to get married. If you can save money, then save it."
Zhang Lei was stubborn. He had always been stubborn.
