"Oh? So Mr. Qin is your classmate!"
"Mr. Lin, please come this way. Mr. Qin booked a private room on the third floor."
Hearing that Lin Chen was attending a class reunion, the lobby manager did not dare to slack off and personally led Lin Chen to the banquet hall on the third floor.
"Mr. Lin, this is the private room Mr. Qin booked. Please enjoy yourself. Call me if you need anything."
After leading Lin Chen to the entrance, the lobby manager politely took her leave.
Before, she had thought that everyone attending the class reunion today would be ordinary people, so she hadn't paid much attention.
Heaven knows who would have thought that these people were Lin Chen's classmates!
In Hangcheng today, the people in high society might not know who the Governor of Hangcheng is, but they absolutely cannot be ignorant of who Lin Chen is!
He is the current behind-the-scenes head of the Shangguan family and a distinguished guest of Old Master Meng. Who in Hangcheng would dare to provoke him?
Now that he personally came to this hotel for a class reunion, it was simply giving the hotel face!
To put it bluntly, this hotel has now been acquired by Shangguan Ling'er. Strictly speaking, the owner behind the hotel is Lin Chen himself!
Under such circumstances, how could she dare not take it seriously?
"Yes, go ahead."
Lin Chen nodded and waved his hand.
Upon receiving Lin Chen's words, the lobby manager felt as if she had received a pardon and quickly turned to leave.
It couldn't be helped; she had personally witnessed Lin Chen causing trouble before, so she was under immense psychological pressure.
She didn't dare to stand up straight in front of Lin Chen!
"Tsk tsk tsk, look at Lin Chen, the lobby manager treated him like he was a plague god."
"I saw it too. After the lobby manager ran into the elevator, she seemed to heave a sigh of relief."
"Alas, this convict is really a disgrace to our class."
A group of people by the entrance saw this scene and began to sigh.
To them, Hangcheng's Tianhao Hotel was now the most high-end hotel in the entire city.
They were initially happy that the class reunion was being held here, but they never expected such a jinx to show up.
It was simply too disappointing!
"Tch, it's all because of Qin Shan, that nouveau riche."
"I heard he made some money in transportation and now he doesn't know his place."
"Qin Shan, right? But I heard he recently offended the young master of the Sun family in Hangcheng, Sun Feiyang!"
As Lin Chen walked over, he overheard a few girls discussing Qin Shan, which immediately piqued his interest.
As for him, the reason he came to this class reunion was entirely because of Qin Shan.
If it weren't for him, he would have turned around and left long ago. Why would he have stayed voluntarily?
"What? Offended Sun Feiyang? Good heavens, then Qin Shan is doomed this time!"
One of the female classmates was immediately surprised upon hearing Sun Feiyang's name.
"What? Xiaoyan, do you know this Sun Feiyang?"
The other classmates were curious and immediately asked.
Lin Chen was also involuntarily drawn in, wanting to know what had happened to Qin Shan.
After all, Qin Shan, like Zhou Qing, grew up with him.
While he was in prison, besides his mother and Zhou Qing, it was Qin Shan who visited him several times.
The last time he visited, he said he was going abroad to do business and wouldn't be back for one or two years.
So after he was released from prison, he hadn't had a chance to see Qin Shan.
He just didn't know how Qin Shan had fared in the past two years.
But hearing his classmates talk now, it seemed Qin Shan was in trouble!
"Of course I know. A relative of my aunt's neighbor works at Sun's Group."
"This Sun Feiyang is a distant cousin of the Shangguan family, also in the transportation business. He is now cooperating with the Shangguan family and has assets worth over a hundred million!"
"If Qin Shan really offended this Sun Feiyang, it would mean he offended the Shangguan family!"
The female classmate, seeing everyone gathering around, put on a proud air and roughly explained Sun Feiyang's background.
"Holy cow, the Shangguan family? Then things are serious!"
Upon hearing the words "Shangguan family," the surrounding classmates were immediately stunned.
Heaven knows, in the past six months, two major companies had risen rapidly in Hangcheng.
One was the old Hangcheng conglomerate, Ru Shuang Group, which was reportedly developing in the provincial capital and had assets exceeding ten billion.
The other was the Lingchen Group, founded by the Shangguan family's eldest daughter, Shangguan Ling'er.
The Lingchen Group was now present in every corner of Hangcheng, involved in fields such as medicine, transportation, grain, oil, and cosmetics.
It could be said to be an all-around company.
And most importantly, the Shangguan family had an incredibly powerful background. It was said that even the Governor of Hangcheng had to visit the Shangguan family's elder personally with gifts after work!
This was enough to illustrate the current status of the Shangguan family in Hangcheng.
It could be said that if Ru Shuang Group was out of the picture, Lingchen Group alone was half the power of Hangcheng!
"That's right, with the Shangguan family's current influence, offending them is no different from seeking death!"
"I estimate that this Qin Shan is definitely going to go bankrupt this time."
"He might even be saddled with huge debts!"
Upon learning of Sun Feiyang's connection to the Shangguan family, everyone sighed.
If Qin Shan offended Sun Feiyang now, it was equivalent to offending the entire Shangguan family. What future did he have?
"Alright, alright, look, Qin Shan is here! Let's talk less."
However, just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, the female classmate who had first started gossiping suddenly stared in the direction of the elevator.
Hearing the female classmate's words, Lin Chen also instinctively looked over.
Indeed, he saw Qin Shan, who was over 1.9 meters tall, stepping out of the elevator.
"Oh my! My Lord Lin!"
As soon as Qin Shan stepped out of the elevator, he spotted Lin Chen in the lobby and quickly rushed over.
"Lord Lin, greetings! Are you well, Lord Lin!"
Upon seeing Lin Chen, Qin Shan gave him a big bear hug.
"Okay, okay, stop with these formalities."
Seeing Qin Shan in front of him, Lin Chen was genuinely happy.
This guy used to like giving him all sorts of nicknames when they were in school.
He had called him Lord Lin, Brother Lin, President Lin, and so on.
He hadn't expected that after so long, he still hadn't changed his ways.
However, hearing these names now evoked a strange sense of familiarity in Lin Chen's heart.
"Yo, Qin Shan, Lin Chen, the two deadweights of the class, are actually reunited?"
Just as Lin Chen and Qin Shan were talking, a sarcastic voice suddenly rang out from the side.
