I confess, I am the Mr. Richest

Chapter 99: Chapter 99: If you work hard, my worth will double next year.

“`

Yu Lebang suddenly thought of something, then asked,

The originally lively group became incredibly quiet after that reunion.

Only about ten classmates from Jiangzhou attended, with many being out of town, and not going.

Originally, they were all curious about what happened at the reunion, why no one talked afterward.

Yu Bangle asked,

“At the last reunion, everyone was very enthusiastic, right?”

Hearing this, Chu Chen’s face showed a strange expression.

“Um… very enthusiastic.”

Yu Lebang was a bit skeptical but didn’t ask further.

“We ate barbecue.”

Eating and chatting, Yu Lebang spoke to Chu Chen.

“How much do you earn as a delivery person?”

Yu Lebang asked curiously.

“Not much, just a little bit,” Chu Chen said modestly.

“A little bit?”

Hearing this, even the girl who just exclaimed how handsome Chu Chen was, changed her face slightly and moved a bit away from him.

In today’s society, having no money is not good at all.

“Chu Chen, I’m not saying it’s bad, but how did a great guy like you end up delivering food?”

As they talked, Yu Lebang was feeling a little high.

“There’s not much future in it, you should think for yourself.”

“Look at me, after fighting hard for some time, though my salary is not much, there’s still some future.”

Yu Bangle said with emotion.

“Old Yu, be modest, you’re a deputy team leader now?”

“The youngest deputy team leader at our Lingyun Capital, probably in a few years, you’ll be a supervisor.”

“By then, don’t forget about us.”

Just after Yu Lebang finished speaking, the others in the room chimed in.

“Definitely, definitely.”

Yu Lebang waved his hand casually.

“You work at Lingyun Capital?”

Chu Chen asked with some surprise.

“Yeah, you know Lingyun Capital too?”

Hearing Chu Chen’s question, Yu Bangle spoke up.

“I know a little.”

Being a shareholder of Lingyun Capital, how could he not understand Lingyun Capital?

“Our Lingyun Capital is a big name in the Southern investment industry. I worked hard to get in.”

Yu Bangle boasted.

“In the future, when I become a supervisor, if you don’t want to deliver anymore, just come find me.”

“I’ll definitely look out for you.”

“I remembered, you’ll never guess who I met yesterday?”

Yu Bangle looked at Chu Chen, suddenly recalling.

“Your ex-girlfriend Xu Rongrong.”

“She seems to have returned to Jiangzhou recently too.”

Mentioning Xu Rongrong, Yu Bangle was even more emotional,

“She’s different now, a top student at Tsinghua, with an unbeatable aura. When she graduates, she’ll definitely be coveted by numerous big companies with high salaries.”

“Even if we work our whole lives, we probably can’t compare to one year of hers.”

Xu Rongrong was the top of the grade back then, the only one from their year to get into Tsinghua.

Since then, she soared high, completely different from them.

Seemingly remembering something, Yu Bangle patted his head, quickly apologizing,

“Sorry, Chu Chen, I’m sorry, I shouldn’t have mentioned Xu Rongrong.”

“I’ll down this glass as punishment.”

Saying so, Yu Lebang picked up his glass and drank it all.

Back then, Xu Rongrong was the absolute goddess in their batch, whether in looks or temperament.

She was the object of many secret admirations, including Yu Lebang.

Yet in the end, Xu Rongrong ended up with Chu Chen, to the despair and envy of countless guys.

Who knew that in a few years, things would reverse so dramatically?

The former goddess became even more unattainable, a Tsinghua top student with limitless prospects.

While the one he envied, Chu Chen, became a delivery person, doing nothing notable, possibly even less accomplished than him.

Yu Bangle found a bit of comfort in this; perhaps this is life.

He intentionally brought up Xu Rongrong in front of Chu Chen to regain some face from the past.

“Oh.”

Unexpectedly, all he got from Chu Chen was a simple “oh.”

Back then, Xu Rongrong got into Tsinghua, first in the whole school, while Chu Chen only got into the ordinary Jiangzhou University.

After that, their love wasn’t lasting.

Xu Rongrong broke up with Chu Chen that day, saying their aspirations were different and they weren’t suitable for each other.

Chu Chen’s mood wasn’t soured by Yu Bangle’s words.

He and Xu Rongrong had long become strangers.

As for what Xu Rongrong said, time would tell.

“Old Yu, you should work hard in the future.”

Chu Chen sincerely told Yu Bangle.

“Definitely, definitely.”

Yu Bangle nodded.

“Only if you all work hard, will my worth double next year.”

Patting Yu Bangle appreciatively, Chu Chen got up to leave.

Hmm?

Hearing Chu Chen’s words, Yu Bangle was extremely surprised.

What did Chu Chen mean by this?

Not just Yu Bangle; others in the room were also puzzled.

Why would working hard make his worth double?

Until Chu Chen left, none of them understood what it meant.

“Not right?”

A man in the room suddenly thought of something, his face changing drastically.

He had a relative working as a deputy manager at Lingyun Capital and recently heard that some company shares were bought by a mysterious wealthy Mr. Chu from Jiangzhou.

At the time, he didn’t pay it much mind.

That was a matter for the company’s top executives and didn’t concern small employees like them.

But hearing Chu Chen’s words now, he realized, Chu Chen’s last name is also Chu.

“He’s the company’s third-largest shareholder.”

After a long while, the man confidently stated.

“Huh?”

“What did you say?”

The others doubted their ears.

How could a delivery guy possibly be the company’s shareholder?

Looking at the unbelieving crowd, the man explained what he knew.

After listening, everyone was stunned.

Yu Bangle finally understood Chu Chen’s meaning too.

Working hard, making the company bigger, the ones gaining the most are the top executives.

For a moment, he wanted to cry but had no tears.

Chu Chen was right.

As the company’s third-largest shareholder, Chu Chen’s worth must be at least billions, right?

Twenty-something, worth billions?

That’s terrifying.

Even the person he envied, Xu Rongrong, who seemed unattainable, couldn’t have achieved even one percent of Chu Chen’s accomplishments.

This time, Xu Rongrong really misjudged.

Unknowingly, he even started anticipating what would happen if the two met.

Slowly, Yu Bangle also figured out why after that reunion, the class group became quiet.

The most active few all attended the reunion, probably like him, got frightened by Chu Chen’s terrifying worth and got embarrassed.

Of course, they wouldn’t want to mention that reunion, so they kept it to themselves.

Thinking of this, Yu Bangle decided that he wouldn’t speak about today’s events no matter what—it was too embarrassing.

After leaving, Chu Chen checked the system.

[Task progress: Experience delivery work for 5 days (4/5)]

The fourth day’s task was completed; only one day to go.
