Chapter 774: Using Her Husband to Show Off
The people who were doing well now were all gathered around the tables near Zhong Xiaoxiao.
Those who were not, they remained at the side.
They ate quietly at the side while the more lively ones toasted with other people.
Some were recent graduates who had yet to go through the arduous life of adulting, while some had already clocked a lot of experience to become old foxes.
Especially at Zhong Xiaoxiao’s table. Gu Qingjiu always felt that Zhong Xiaoxiao’s arrangement of tables came at some consideration.
After the announcement that the students’ gathering officially began, people sat quietly as they ate.
But as some students started to toast one another, Gu Qingjiu foresaw that the most important part of the students’ gathering was about to begin.
Showing off their wealth!
Just as expected, a slightly plump student called Yue Fenrong walked over and exchanged some courteous words with the group. The toasting began and acting all inconspicuous, he smiled and directed his question at Xie Yuning. “Yuning, didn’t you recently mention that your boyfriend is in charge of a project which is worth a few million? Are you not helping him with this?”
After he dropped the bomb, the amount which he said caused many eyes to land on Xie Yuning.
Xie Yuning was a person who enjoyed basking in the attention of others. The indignance she felt diminished a lot under their attention. Although her expression remained indifferent, she couldn’t resist the temptation to gloat. “It’s not as much as you say – just about twenty million. His dad made him test the waters. I’m not as proficient about these as compared to him, especially since he studied abroad. I don’t usually restrict him.”
Twenty million just to test waters.
The surrounding people suck in a breath of cold air.
What abstract concept was twenty million?
For current times, ten thousand was enough for a family to live comfortably, so twenty million was a huge sum which was unimaginable for many.
Some classmates were struck with small bouts of fortune, but even they did not dare to talk about using twenty million to test waters.
Even Yang Han sighed as he praised, “As expected of a person from a rich family. People like us wouldn’t understand. Our company’s total revenue for the first half of the year is not even ten million. Yuning, you’re really lucky.”
“Your company is also doing quite well. Yang Han, you’re an accomplished person too.”
Since he praised her and because their relationship with each other was not bad, she had to return the favor.
Gu Qingjiu listened and sucked in a cold breath.
Twenty million…
For the past few years, she had been coddled and pampered so much by Helian Niancheng that she did not know much about the current market.
Just the rings which Helian Niancheng had the designers design for her was worth two hundred million.
Following that were often presents which were worth hundreds of millions as well. She had been focused on training but now that she thought back, she was probably charting on the scoreboard if it was ranked by expenditure.
Gu Qingjiu did not say anything but that did not mean that the flames would not be thrown at her.
Yue Fenrong suddenly redirected his question at Gu Qingjiu. “Gu Qingjiu, it has been so many years since we last met. I’m not sure what you’re doing now, is it only training?”
“That’s true, I also hear that you’re getting married? What does your boyfriend work as?”
A female classmate at a nearby table added on.
In an instant, everyone’s attention was on Gu Qingjiu.
Gu Qingjiu was startled. She had always thought of Helian Niancheng being rich as his own business. She would keep a low profile and not talk about all these.
But since she was there, it seemed like she would have to boast a little about her hubby.
Else, she wouldn’t be able to simmer the curiosity of these people.
