Chapter 1104 1102: Shameless
If it were before, Zhang Dagang would definitely have been like Li Jun, watching those once innocent classmates put on fake smiles to flatter the successful ones, and then sighing on the side.
But now, he was very calm.
"Li Jun, I heard you're not doing so well now?" It was Zhou Qiang who spoke.
Zhou Qiang was doing quite well, though not as capable as Wang Cheng.
But now he was also driving a Land Rover.
However, this guy was showy.
As soon as he arrived, he placed the Land Rover's car keys on the table.
Then, a group of old classmates all gathered around.
"Wow, Zhou, you're doing well now, driving a Land Rover."
"Land Rover is quite expensive, I heard it costs hundreds of thousands?"
"Not expensive, not expensive, just six or seven hundred thousand." Zhou Qiang said nonchalantly.
In fact, he was overjoyed inside.
Who doesn't want to show that they are doing well in front of their former classmates?
Originally, Li Jun planned to eat quietly and then leave.
However, Zhou Qiang's words suddenly pushed him into the spotlight.
"No way, Li Jun, I remember you did pretty well in high school, there's no way you're doing poorly, Zhou Qiang must be talking nonsense, where are you working now?" A female classmate asked.
This girl was called Zhou Na, and she was very snobbish in high school.
Li Jun looked embarrassed and didn't answer.
Among these classmates, he was probably doing the worst.
"Li Jun, I actually know even if you don't say. You're working as a security guard in the community, right? I've seen you." The girl named Zhou Na said with a smile.
"What? Li Jun is working as a security guard? Oh my god, that's hilarious, Li Jun, how could you end up like this?"
Hearing Zhou Na's words, the classmates started hooting.
"Li Jun, look, now Brother Zhou and Brother Wang are both doing well. Why don't you offer them a toast, let them find you a decent job? As a security guard, I'm afraid you won't even find a girlfriend!"
"Yeah, with Brother Zhou and Brother Wang's abilities, they can easily get you a job paying over five thousand."
"Don't count on me, I definitely can't do it, I'm just working for others. Ask Brother Wang, his family runs a company, he can easily find you a job." Zhou Qiang chuckled.
"Well, Brother Wang, you won't even manage such a small thing, right?" Everyone looked at Wang Cheng.
Since everyone was praising him, Wang Cheng naturally had to take it on.
He immediately smiled and said, "Of course, no problem, we are all classmates! How about this, you come to our company as a security guard, although it's still a security guard, I can offer you five thousand a month."
"Brother Wang, you're so bad, it's still being a security guard." A girl teased.
"That's different, although they're all security guards, there's a difference between good and bad ones." Wang Cheng said with a smile.
Everyone burst into laughter.
Only Li Jun looked upset.
His job was not exactly high-end.
But he wasn't stealing or robbing, he was living by his strength.
What right did these classmates have to mock him?
What right did they have to make jokes about his profession?
However, faced with the classmates' sarcastic remarks, he was unable to refute.
After all, he wasn't doing well.
"Come on, give Brother Wang a toast."
Li Jun clenched his fists until they made cracking sounds.
A warrior can be killed but not humiliated.
He absolutely wouldn't fawn for a few thousand yuan.
If he were that kind of person,
he wouldn't just be working as a lousy security guard now.
"What? Disdainful of my offering? I can even offer you eight thousand, or even ten thousand a month, but do you have the ability to earn that much?" Wang Cheng sneered.
"Exactly, Li Jun, don't be so ungrateful. If it weren't for Brother Wang considering you as his classmate, how could a security guard earn five thousand?" Zhou Na ridiculed.
Everyone looked at Li Jun as if he were a joke.
"That's enough, you guys." Finally, Zhang Dagang couldn't take it anymore.
What Li Jun was enduring now was exactly what he had endured before.
In the past, he also suffered such mockery at class reunions.
Only, that was a college reunion.
This time it was a high school reunion.
"Wow, isn't this our Class Leader Zhang? What's up? Where are you working now?" Everyone's eyes fell on Zhang Dagang.
Although Zhang Dagang was dressed in a suit, a sharp-eyed female classmate recognized at once that Zhang Dagang's clothes were just a couple of hundred yuan worth of cheap stall goods.
Originally, they planned to humiliate Li Jun first, then move on to Zhang Dagang.
Since he offered himself up for ridicule,
why should they be polite?
Back in high school, Zhang Dagang was the class leader.
So everyone habitually called him Class Leader Zhang.
Whether it was respect,
or mockery,
looking at it now, it seemed more likely mockery.
"Yes, Class Leader, you were a great student back then, you must be doing well now, at some company as an executive?" Zhou Na looked at Zhang Dagang with a smile.
Zhang Dagang glanced at Zhou Na and sneered: "Zhou Na, didn't you get yourself a sugar daddy? Do you really think that's an achievement?"
"Zhang Dagang, what nonsense are you spouting?" Zhou Na's expression changed instantly.
"Heh, Zhou Na, you know that Li Jun is a security guard because your house is in the same community as his, right? The housing price there is thirty-five thousand yuan per square meter. Just you, an ordinary office worker, can afford it? Plus, you're not even married yet, so the house can't be your husband's. If you're not kept, then what?" Zhang Dagang said disdainfully.
"It-it was a gift from my boyfriend, what's wrong with that?" Zhou Na blushed and retorted.
"You call that 50-year-old guy your boyfriend?" Zhang Dagang mocked.
Since Li Jun worked as a security guard in Zhou Na's community, he naturally knew about Zhou Na's situation.
But Li Jun only told Zhang Dagang.
Unlike Zhou Na,
who told everyone about him being a security guard.
Zhou Na's face was as red as a sunset.
After all, being kept is not something to be proud of.
"So what? It's still better than being poor like you!" Zhou Na said furiously.
"Exactly, it's a time when they ridicule poverty, not prostitution."
"How interesting."
"..."
Other female classmates chimed in.
One by one, they turned shame into pride.
Li Jun found himself unable to refute these female classmates' words.
Indeed, that seemed to be the case.
It's always the poor who get laughed at.
