Chapter 228: Shanghai Fantasy
Now, seeing Hong Lei once again looking like he was determined to keep learning diligently, Liu Ben just shook his head, deciding not to discuss further. The conversation turned back to how to prepare for the evening gathering.
After a brief moment, Liu Ben had more or less figured out the plan for the night, but he still felt like something was missing. Suddenly, an idea struck him. He clapped his hands and loudly said to Hong Lei, who was next to him, “That’s it! I was wondering what was missing! In the past, only some classmates attended our reunions, so this year, let’s just make it a memorial event. By my calculations, it’s been five years since we graduated, right? So, let’s organize a 5th-anniversary memorial, and besides inviting our old classmates, let’s also invite our former teachers.”
“Although back then, our homeroom teacher was pretty strict with us, thinking about it now, it was all for our own good! So, this anniversary event is also a great opportunity to thank those teachers of ours. Of course, the main reason we can do this is because of Hao-ge footing the bill; all we’re doing is making a bit of an effort.” Liu Ben sighed with emotion before turning and smiling.
What Liu Ben said was indeed true. If it weren’t for Wu Hao, a classmate who had become so incredibly wealthy that it was almost shocking, Liu Ben wouldn’t have been able to conceive of such an extravagant reunion in his mind.
When Hong Lei, standing next to Liu Ben, heard him mention their former teachers, he felt a sense of understanding. After all, he had now experienced the feeling of lacking knowledge, so he naturally agreed with Liu Ben’s suggestion.
“Liu Ben, that’s a great idea. Let’s get ready for it together later!” Initially not very enthusiastic, Hong Lei suddenly became more interested.
“Of course, you’ll have a part in it; there’s no way I could handle everything alone,” Liu Ben said matter-of-factly.
“Alright then, just tell me what you need me to do,” Hong Lei said without further hesitation.
