Urban Ace Bodyguard

Chapter 1226 - 1301: The Pretentious Gathering

"Alright, let's go." Queen Qi was extremely embarrassed, as her school-time blunder was exposed, challenging her self-esteem greatly.Qingqing playfully stuck out her tongue.

Lin Hai shrugged helplessly a few times, his mind full of Qi's fierce and unrestrained image from back then; that little thug probably has a lifelong psychological shadow.

Soon, the three arrived at the private room.

At this moment, the large round dining table in the room, enough to accommodate more than thirty people, was already filled with quite a few people.

The moment Queen Qi and Qingqing entered the door, the men couldn't help but direct their gaze toward them.

The appearance of these two stunning beauties instantly elevated the overall attractiveness of the room to a new height, providing everyone with a feast for the eyes.

Naturally, the mood of the other women plummeted, and the men's fiery gazes ignited a deep flame of jealousy in their hearts.

"Yo, isn't this Queen Qi from back in the day?"

The first to speak up was a woman with a fur collar around her neck, heavy makeup, and an undetermined thickness of foundation on her face.

"Dong Ting, long time no see." Queen Qi calmly and coolly replied.

"Officer Qi, long time no see. I've heard it's tough being a cop these days, always dragged into the media, targeted by public opinion, or cursed at by netizens, hehe." Dong Ting spoke with a touch of schadenfreude.

"The profession of a police officer is sacred, and in every woods, there can occasionally be bad birds." Qi replied.

"Indeed, our Officer Qi has always been an upright person, haha." Dong Ting said, deliberately moving her LV bag next to her with a "I've got LV, do you?" expression.

This subtle act of flaunting, in professional terms, Lin Hai thought barely passed as appropriate.

Lin Hai silently observed from the side.

It must be said, class reunions nowadays have changed their flavor.

Back then, pure friendships, after years of struggles in the real world, have turned into a show of bragging.

Successful people join class reunions to show off their cars, wealth, power, and status; women flaunt their husbands, handbags, and watches.

Because in society, everyone inevitably encounters restless and shallow individuals, whose negative energy gradually infects others.

For example, the man beside an empty seat discreetly pushed his chair, intentionally exposing the watch at his wrist during the process.

Judging by the brand, it seemed to be a piece from the Omega Constellation series, roughly worth seventeen or eighteen thousand, likely a Virgo, ahem.

After this act, the man put on a gentlemanly smile, gesturing to Queen Qi, obviously intending for her to sit there, and provocatively glanced at Lin Hai, who was intentionally lowering his presence behind Qi.

Queen Qi caught the man's intention, inwardly snorting, "Dare to provoke my Linlin, I'll make you pay."

Without breaking her composure, the Queen headed towards the empty seat next to the man's position.

The man instantly rejoiced, his beaming smile like a blooming chrysanthemum.

Lin Hai thought this smile, no, chrysanthemum, was soft in texture, considered top-tier, with excellent explosiveness.

As Queen Qi was about to reach the empty chair, she suddenly paused, then took Lin Hai's hand, bypassed the side, and sat down where there were three available seats.

The man's former beaming chrysanthemum, no, smile, instantly froze.

"May I know who this gentleman is?" Suppressing his dark and angry gaze, the man maintained a gentlemanly smile and looked at Lin Hai.

"Oh, this is Qi's boyfriend." Yang Qingqing boldly sat on Lin Hai's other side.

The other classmates present seemed unwilling to provoke or offend Yang Qingqing.

Considering Qi's previous introductions, Lin Hai felt this group feared Yang Qingqing's connection to the Yanjing Yang Family and that Yang Qingqing herself was a successful entrepreneur.

With Yang Qingqing's words, the men's eyes in the room all focused on Lin Hai.

On the left, a man discreetly took out his phone, placed it on the table, estimated to be a Samsung from the past years, currently priced around fifteen or sixteen thousand.

Another casually stood up, stretched his waist, and poured tea for everyone, during which he intentionally flaunted the car keys on his waist—it was a Mercedes.

However, based on Lin's years of experience, those car keys were at most for a Benz E200 sedan worth over three hundred thousand, merely a prop for the brand logo.

Several men's chatter grew louder.

"Wang, I heard you earned over a million this year? Is that true?"

"Haha, not a big deal, President Li, you're the big entrepreneur, a successful person with assets in the millions. Please don't laugh at me."

"Wang is really modest, I'm the one most lacking." Another man chimed in.

"Brother Zhang, you're in the system. I heard you've reached the level of a principal officer. In the county, that's at least a deputy director rank. From now on, we need to call you Vice Director Zhang." Wang intentionally flattered.

Surname Zhang repeatedly said, "Not at all, not at all," yet the proud expression on his face betrayed his inner thoughts.

"How about it? Qi's classmates are all quite remarkable, right?" Yang Qingqing jokingly whispered in Lin Hai's ear.

Lin Hai calmly lit a cigarette, casually replied, "Pretty good."

"Hehe, didn't expect your qi cultivation skills are pretty good. These people are all bragging, occasionally targeting you with their flaunting, and yet you're not angry at all," Yang Qingqing laughed and said.

"Is there a need to be angry? What's theirs is theirs, if you want something, go work for it instead of staring at others. Doing that would only lose your own path."

Lin Hai especially disliked those who resented the wealthy mindset. Even if the rich used despicable means to obtain money, at least they know to work for it, which is better than those who eat well, do nothing, and blame everyone.

Although he still rejected such despicable means.

"Wow, your level is really high." Yang Qingqing looked at Lin Hai in admiration and couldn't help but ask again, "Do you feel no pressure at all? Qi secretly told me you're a security guard?"

"Being a security guard is pretty good, the working people are the most glorious. Besides, being a security guard can have great prospects. If one could be a guard at Zhongnanhe, that's at least a deputy departmental level treatment." Lin Hai also replied with a smile.

Yang Qingqing nodded, "Indeed, an elder once said that any profession can produce top masters enough to amaze the world."

"By the way, I always feel like you have the demeanor of a security guard, even sometimes have the aura of a big figure in your gestures."

Lin Hai mused inwardly, this Yang Qingqing's insight was definitely sharp.

While dealing with Yang Qingqing's curious inquiries, Lin Hai watched this flaunting fest, no, class reunion, with indifference.

"Haha, everyone is here? Sorry, sorry, delayed by accompanying a big leader in handling matters today, hope you don't mind."

A voice full of officiousness rang out from the doorway, first appearing in everyone's field of vision was a pair of brand-new leather shoes stepping inside.
