As soon as they entered the small auditorium, Zhou Chao saw that it had been transformed into a meeting-like setting, with many sofas and chairs, and several tables still loaded with a variety of fruits and desserts. Moreover, there were already quite a few people in the small auditorium at this moment!

“Alright, you guys can hang out here for a while. Someone will take you to dinner later, and the formal program will start in the afternoon!”

“Octopus Bro, you go ahead with your business! Don’t worry about us!” Zhang Yu, upon hearing this, gave a nod to Li Yang and then turned and left the small auditorium.

As Octopus Bro left, the group of people dispersed, leaving only Zhou Chao and Li Yang standing in place.

“Should we mingle with them to build rapport?” Li Yang asked Zhou Chao beside him.

“Do we really need to build rapport with them? It’s better to find a place to sit down, have some fruits, and taste these desserts. We haven’t had breakfast, and I’m a bit hungry now!”

“Good point! We don’t need them; they need us!” So, the two of them found a slightly secluded spot. Zhou Chao carried two plates filled with various fruits and desserts, attracting the attention of many people.

In a quiet corner, the two of them began to eat. While chatting about their past school experiences, when they shared funny stories, both of them couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

During this time, some unfamiliar junior or senior students came over to greet them. The two of them politely exchanged pleasantries. Seeing that the two of them weren’t in high spirits, those visitors chatted for a while and then found an excuse to leave. After two or three waves of such encounters, no one else came over, and the two of them enjoyed some peace and quiet.

“Hey, isn’t this our young master Li? Why are you two the only ones here, hiding in the corner and eating fruits? Is it because your Li Group can’t afford fruits and desserts anymore? Tell me, I can have a whole carload sent to you! Hahaha!”

Just when the two of them were having a good time chatting, a sarcastic voice came from not far away. Zhou Chao and Li Yang turned to look.

They saw Wang Hao strutting over with two followers, dressed in flashy pink attire. If one didn’t know any better, they’d think he was some gigolo who had just run out from somewhere!

“I thought who it was being so flashy. It turns out to be you. After all this time, you haven’t changed that sarcastic attitude of yours. Indeed, a leopard can’t change its spots!”

Li Yang raised his head, looked at Wang Hao, and said in a calm tone. Zhou Chao, sitting beside him, burst into laughter upon hearing this.

“You son of a b****, Li Yang, if you have the guts, go find a place with no one around and settle it!” Wang Hao lost his temper, and if it weren’t for the fact that there were many people around, he might have already rushed up to fight Li Yang.

“We’re in the modern age. You still want to fight? Why don’t you go home and drink milk? What’s the matter, do you see just the two of us and think about attacking us? I don’t look down on you, Wang Hao, but you really don’t have the guts to make a move here! Screw you!”

Upon hearing this, Wang Hao seemed ready to charge forward, but one of his followers quickly restrained him and whispered something in his ear. Wang Hao, who had previously been wearing a stern expression, suddenly burst into laughter. His gaze wandered back and forth between Li Yang and Zhou Chao before snorting and leaving with his entourage.

“Huh, why did he leave? That’s not like his usual personality. I thought he was about to charge at us, and 1 was prepared to give him a beating!” Zhou Chao watched Wang Hao’s departure and couldn’t help but feel a bit disappointed.

“Yeah, someone like him must have had some bad intentions. We should be cautious later.”

“No worries, Lin Wu will be here in a bit. Dealing with Wang Hao and his two lackeys will be a piece of cake for me!” Zhou Chao had a nonchalant expression on his face. After all, with his current physical condition, beating Wang Hao and his group from earlier would be a piece of cake, to put it simply, it couldn’t get any easier!

“Agreed!” The two of them continued to chat. In the meantime, Lin Wu called Zhou Chao to ask for their location. After hanging up the call, Zhou Chao sent Lin Wu their coordinates, and shortly after, Lin Wu, dressed in a black shirt, arrived at the small auditorium.

“Lin Wu, you look so imposing in this outfit!” Li Yang commented, observing how Lin Wu’s muscular physique filled out his shirt, giving him a powerful presence.

“Hehe, Li Shao, my wife had this outfit custom-made for me.” Lin Wu chuckled, his imposing aura suddenly turning into a more modest one.

“Well, Lin Wu, you do look more handsome with a serious expression!” Zhou Chao also nodded, thinking that Lin Wu appeared better without a smile.

“Take a seat, don’t stand!” Hearing Zhou Chao’s invitation, Lin Wu sat down on another sofa, helping himself to some fruit and listening to Li Yang and Zhou Chao reminisce about their college days.

“It’s a shame that Third Bro and Fourth Bro aren’t here. If they were, our 404 dormitory gang could play together again! 1 wonder when the four of us will reunite!”

“We’ll ensure it happens. If Third Brother and Fourth Brother don’t show up at my wedding, 1’11 send Lin Wu to kidnap them! Hahaha!” Zhou Chao joked, and Lin Wu, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t help but scratch his head.

“Boss, we don’t do illegal stuff!” Lin Wu’s words left Zhou Chao bewildered, while Li Yang burst into laughter.

“I was just joking! Are you trying to mess with my sanity? Be careful; 1 might make you work overtime every day!”

“I was wrong… boss!” Zhou Chao finally realized that Lin Wu still had a sense of humor.

Around 1130, someone was heard speaking into a microphone.

“Hey hey hey, dear alumni, it’s almost lunchtime. Please make your way to the school’s cafeteria, where a variety of delicious food is already prepared for everyone to enjoy!”

The people in the small auditorium gradually started heading outside. They chatted in groups of three or five. Zhou Chao and his friends also got up and headed outside.

“It’s great to be young. I spent my entire four years of college without having a girlfriend. Now I regret it!” Zhou Chao looked at the couples passing by and couldn’t help but lament why he didn’t have a girlfriend back then.

“Hehe, the next time 1 meet my younger sister, I’ll tell her exactly what you said!”

“Feel free to do so. My Ah Li back home has unwavering faith in me. I’m not like some individuals who had such a tangled love life during college. We could chat about his affairs endlessly for days and nights!” After saying this, Zhou Chao quickly ran forward, afraid that Li Yang would kick him from behind.

“Stop right there, Zhou Big Scoundrel!” Li Yang watched Zhou Chao while chasing after him.

Lin Wu watched the two of them and couldn’t help but shake his head in exasperation. “Ah, to be young!”

Lin Wu watched the two of them run far ahead and quickly caught up. In no time, they arrived at the cafeteria.

“Huff huff- 1 didn’t expect you to have such good stamina now. You almost exhausted me!” Li Yang gasped for breath as he looked at Zhou Chao, who seemed perfectly calm. He couldn’t help but sigh at how time flies.

“Big Bro, your physique isn’t that great. If you don’t exercise more, you’ll get tired from just walking a few steps in the future!”

Li Yang rolled his eyes at Zhou Chao’s comment.

“You think I have as much free time as you do. 1 have to go to work every day, attend meetings, and handle all sorts of documents. I’m busy all day long. 1 don’t even have time to go to the gym. Even if I come home after work, I just want to rest after taking a shower!”

“Wait until you can take over for Uncle Li’s position, then you can enjoy leisure!”

“I hope so! But it seems like that day is still a long way off.” Upon hearing this, Zhou Chao shook his head. Given Li Yaodao’s excellent health and his recent actions, it was likely that Li Yang would be busy again in a few days.

Seeing that Lin Wu had arrived, Zhou Chao turned to Li Yang, who had almost recovered, and said, “Big bro, let’s go in and taste the school’s food. It’s been years since we’ve had it!”

“Do you still remember when we first came here to eat?!”

“Of course, I remember. It was after we finished the fight with Wang Hao and resolved the matter. After that, you treated us to a meal here!”

The three of them entered the cafeteria and saw a variety of delicious food laid out. They each grabbed a tray and started selecting their favorite dishes. In no time, their trays were filled to the brim.

Just as they found a place to sit down, they saw a flash of pink entering through the cafeteria’s main entrance.

“Second brother, that show-off is here too!” Zhou Chao looked toward the entrance. Wang Hao had brought two people with him. When he saw Li Yang and Zhou Chao looking at him, he wore a mocking expression and walked over to them.

“Young Master Li, you’re following your lackey to mooch a meal again!”

Lin Wu, who was standing beside them, heard Wang Hao call Zhou Chao a lackey and immediately stood up. His furious aura caused Wang Hao to retreat a few steps until he was held back by the people behind him. He didn’t stop until someone grabbed him.

“Lin Wu, don’t bother with this dog. Sit down and have a meal,” Zhou Chao said without even looking up. He felt like staring at Wang Hao would dirty his own eyes.

Lin Wu, upon hearing Zhou Chao’s words, cast a murderous glance at Wang Hao and then sat down to continue eating.

“Hmph, you guys just wait. This afternoon, you’ll see something interesting. I just hope you won’t die of shame by then,” Wang Hao said menacingly and left the cafeteria with his two lackeys, not even bothering to eat.

Li Yang watched Wang Hao’s figure disappear at the door and then turned to Zhou Chao, saying, “That guy will probably use some dirty tricks in the afternoon. We need to be careful.”

“Don’t worry, we’ll be ready for anything. He’s not even worthy of playing games with me. Li Yang nodded in agreement. Given Zhou Chao’s current status in the country, there were very few people who could match his skills openly. It was just that very few people knew of his existence.

The two of them stopped worrying about Wang Hao and focused on their meal. As for Lin Wu, he didn’t feel full even after finishing one plate, so he went and got two more plates of meat and vegetables to fill his stomach.

“All, full and satisfied! Let’s take a walk.”

“Sure, the action won’t start until 2 o’clock in the afternoon. Let’s take a stroll around the school and see if there are any changes.”

With that, the three of them left the cafeteria and disappeared into the crowd..
