Free Web NovelChapter 89: Chapter 89: Miss Yun Truly Has Hidden Depths
"Classmate Yun is back! Come on, have a seat. You’re the star of the show today!"
Since Yun Zijin was treating, the whole group greeted her warmly when they saw her return.
Yun Zijin accepted their enthusiasm calmly. She had a pretty good idea of what they were all thinking.
However, if they were hoping to get a lead on a promotion, a raise, or a better job opportunity from her, they were probably dreaming.
She was currently unemployed. Her days consisted of spending money and then spending some more. She didn’t have any good jobs to offer them.
After dinner, those who wanted to sing went to sing, and those who wanted to play games went off to play.
Quite a few people crowded around Yun Zijin, showering her with all sorts of compliments. However, Yun Zijin could more or less tell who was being sincere and who was just faking it, and she deflected all their attempts with vague, noncommittal answers.
The gathering was finally winding down, and Yun Zijin was feeling pretty tired herself.
Wang Shuming regretted calling Yun Zijin for what felt like the hundredth time. ’If I’d known these alumni were such opportunists, I never would have made that call,’ he thought.
As the party was about to break up, a crowd of people started asking to add Yun Zijin on WeChat.
Wang Shuming quickly stepped in front of Yun Zijin to block them. "It’s getting late, and Classmate Yun should be heading home. You can all just add her from the group chat; it’s the same thing. Adding everyone one by one would take too long."
Although it wasn’t an outright refusal, adding someone from a group chat still required Yun Zijin’s approval, which was entirely up to her.
Even if they were unhappy about it, there was nothing they could do to Yun Zijin.
Just then, the door to the private room opened, and Zero One and six other men walked in.
The people who had just been pestering Yun Zijin to add them on WeChat instantly quieted down.
When Yun Zijin was alone and seemingly helpless, they had been bold enough to be presumptuous. But faced with Yun Zijin escorted by seven bodyguards, they didn’t dare say another word. ƒreewebɳovel.com
"Miss!"
Zero One glanced at the guilty-looking crowd standing nearby. He said nothing, but his intimidating presence was more than enough. ƒreeωebnovel.ƈom
"The class president is right. It’s getting late, so everyone should head home."
After all, they hadn’t done anything truly out of line, and Yun Zijin wasn’t a petty person. She didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.
She didn’t bring up the WeChat requests. Any intelligent person would understand what she meant by that.
If anyone still insisted on adding her, Yun Zijin would simply ignore them.
"Classmate Yun is right, it’s late. Everyone, let’s head home! Remember to send a message in the group chat to let us know you got home safe!"
Seeing that the others had quieted down after the bodyguards arrived, Wang Shuming breathed a sigh of relief.
Yun Zijin and her bodyguards were the first to leave the private room. With the host gone, the rest of the group left in twos and threes, figuring out who was going in the same direction so they could carpool.
Yun Zijin and her security detail took the elevator down to the first-floor lobby, where she unexpectedly ran into Lu Yunque and his friends paying their bill at the front desk.
"Miss Yun, what a coincidence! On your way out?"
Lu Yunque’s eyes lit up when he saw Yun Zijin, but he quickly masked his expression.
Yun Zijin nodded. Anyone coming down from a private room at this hour was usually leaving.
"Why are you by yourself? Didn’t Brother Lu say you were at a class reunion today?"
Li Yuexing was a little confused, seeing Yun Zijin accompanied only by a few bodyguards.
’Didn’t he say on the phone just now that she was with her classmates?’
"They’re still behind me. I came down first to pay the bill."
Even though she was using her exclusive black card, she still had to settle the bill after the meal.
The amount would simply be deducted from her dividends later. It was an easier way for the finance department to keep the books, otherwise the debits and credits wouldn’t balance, which would be a hassle.
"No way, you have to pay for your own class reunion? Miss Yun, you... If you’re being taken advantage of, you have to tell us!"
Yungong No. 1 wasn’t cheap. Even if Yun Zijin didn’t care about the money, being treated like a sucker was unacceptable.
"It’s fine. I brought them here, so of course, I’m responsible for the bill."
’Considering what they ordered, asking them to split the bill would have been putting them in a really tight spot, wouldn’t it?’
"As long as you’re not getting ripped off, it’s fine. We’re done here, so you can go ahead and pay."
There were other people waiting in line behind them, but after Li Yuexing and his friends spoke up, no one dared to complain, even if they were unhappy about it.
"Alright, I’ll be quick."
Yun Zijin handed her exclusive Yungong No. 1 black card to the receptionist.
The moment they saw the black card, Lu Yunque, Li Yuexing, Sheng Hao, and Fu Ze all raised their eyebrows. ’Miss Yun really is full of surprises,’ they thought.
The receptionist took the black card, scanned it, and a receipt printed out.
"Miss Yun, your total for today comes to 3.02 million. Here is your card and receipt, please keep them safe."
The price was quite a bit lower than Yun Zijin had expected.
’A meal for 29 people... I was expecting it to be at least five million,’ she mused. ’Looks like my classmates stuck to the cheaper items on the menu.’
"I cut in line to pay just now. As an apology, give the next few parties who had to wait a two percent discount."
"Of course, Miss Yun."
Yun Zijin was the boss, so of course the receptionist would do as she said.
"Miss Yun, you really are full of surprises!"
Li Yuexing teased.
’If I still can’t figure out Miss Yun’s connection to Yungong No. 1 by now, I might as well just give up,’ he thought.
Yun Zijin just smiled. "These meager assets of mine are hardly worth mentioning to the esteemed Crown Princes of Dijing. I’d hardly call that being ’full of surprises.’"
After settling the bill, they walked to the entrance of Yungong No. 1. The valet had already pulled up Yun Zijin’s Ferrari LaFerrari, along with a Randomly Spend brand SUV.
"Miss Yun, your keys."
"Whoa! Zijing, this is your car?"
Li Yuexing’s eyes were practically glued to the red Ferrari in front of Yun Zijin.
He had wanted to buy one, too, but he was a step too slow. By the time he went to place an order, they were all gone.
With a global limit of only 499 units, you couldn’t get one if you were even a fraction too slow.
Lu Yunque and the others were also surprised to see the Ferrari LaFerrari.
The main reason was that the cars Yun Zijin had driven before were all in the low millions. They had assumed she wasn’t interested in sports cars.
They never expected her to pull out the ultimate trump card of a car.
"If it wasn’t my car, the valet wouldn’t be giving me the keys, would he?"
"Classmate Yun!"
"You haven’t left yet, Classmate Yun! You have to come to the next reunion, too!"
"Classmate Yun, our ride is here. We’re heading out."
After the delay, the other alumni started trickling out. They all greeted Yun Zijin when they saw her.
Since they couldn’t add her on WeChat, the next best thing was to make sure she remembered their faces.
"Mm, take care."
Yun Zijin’s response was noticeably cool.
But even so, not a single person was offended.
Wang Shuming was the last one out. He walked over to Yun Zijin and said, "Classmate Yun, about today’s reunion... Next time there’s a gathering like this, I’ll be sure to vet the guest list first. I’ll only call you if I can be sure there won’t be any troublemakers."
He couldn’t just stop inviting her to gatherings altogether. After today, those people would surely spread the word, and future reunion invitations for Yun Zijin would likely only increase.
All Wang Shuming could do was try his best to filter them for her, only telling her about the ones that seemed more reliable and less likely to cause trouble.
Whether Yun Zijin decided to attend or not was out of his hands. His only job was to make the call.
