School Beauty's Invincible Martial Expert-Chapter 436 : Classmates Gathering
```
So, Xiao Han felt extremely helpless.
Faced with the Chen family's insults and curses, Xiao Han chose silence, not because he was unwilling to fight back. It was because he felt he didn't yet have the right to strike back. At the very least, he didn't have as much wealth or assets as Jiang Xiaoliang's family. Since the Chen family was so fond of Jiang Xiaoliang, at least for now, his wealth value had to surpass that of the Meida Group.
Xiao Han lay powerlessly on the sofa.
At that moment, the sound of a motorcycle approached from outside. Then, Li Dapang's loud shouting voice came through: "Xiao Han!"
"You fatso, what's up?" Xiao Han asked weakly.
"I just got the news!" Li Dapang ran in laughing, saying, "There's a high school reunion tonight, are you coming?"
"Who told you that?" Xiao Han asked doubtfully.
"Yang Xiaoyan ah." Li Dapang grinned at Xiao Han and said, "Now's our time to hold our head high and let out a sigh of relief."
"Who's organizing it?" Xiao Han frowned.
"I heard it's that kid Jiang Xiaoliang," Li Dapang hurriedly said, "The little guy has cleared out the top floor of their family hotel, to hold a reunion for us. I think this is our chance."
"What chance?" Xiao Han asked curiously.
"Damn, remember how we were looked down upon in class? Do you remember that Liao Zhijie who used to bully you?" Li Dapang sneered, "The guy started working right after high school graduation, seems like he's a security guard in a mall in Linjiang City. Only earns just over two thousand a month. Didn't that guy used to strut around arrogantly? Now isn't he living like a dog!"
Li Dapang felt particularly vindicated as he spoke.
"Since it's Jiang Xiaoliang's home turf, it means today is his day to show off," Xiao Han smiled, "Where does that put you in the position to be smug? Even if you go and get all high and mighty, don't you think that, compared to Jiang Xiaoliang, that's like bringing an axe to Lu Ban's door?"
"Err…" Li Dapang, stumped by what Xiao Han said, became flustered and quickly asked, "Then… what should we do?"
"What do you think we should do?" Xiao Han said, smiling.
"Let's not go then," Li Dapang said annoyedly, "I can't stand to watch that kid show off anyway."
Xiao Han laughed, "Why not go? If someone invites us to eat and drink for free, why wouldn't we?"
"But didn't you say he's going to show off?" Li Dapang looked puzzled before saying, "If that's the case, why should we go?"
"Do you think if we don't go, he won't show off?" Xiao Han said with a cold laugh.
"This…" Li Dapang was at a loss for words.
"Since whether we go or not, he's going to show off, why shouldn't we go?" Xiao Han chuckled, "Let him do his showing off, let him boast. We'll just go and mooch some food and drink, fill ourselves up, then leave, right?"
"Got it," Li Dapang's eyes lit up, "Xiao Han, you're really ruthless. Going there just to mooch."
"No no, we're there to give Jiang Xiaoliang support," Xiao Han chuckled.
"Right, right, showing support," Li Dapang chuckled, "We're just going to have a meal."
That afternoon, Xiao Han got on Li Dapang's motorcycle. Having agreed to keep a low profile, and having agreed to go show support, it was only natural not to steal anyone's thunder. So, Xiao Han decided to ride on Li Dapang's motorcycle.
The hotel belonging to Jiang Xiaoliang's family was the same one where Xiao Han and Chen Zihan had booked a room.
The hotel was impressive. When they arrived, the hotel's lights were turned on, enormous beams striking the hotel's sign, casting a glow.
"Here we are," Li Dapang said as he stopped.
Xiao Han got off the motorcycle, and it was then that he learned, the Sheraton Hotel was actually owned by Jiang Xiaoliang's family.
"This is a hotel under the Meida Group's chain," Li Dapang said, "Don't be envious. This is the best hotel in Linjiang City, it's even the government-appointed hotel for hosting officials. They're raking in money like crazy, so much more than we could imagine earning."
"Hmm!" Xiao Han nodded, "One day we will also build an empire."
Li Dapang nodded, took a deep breath, then said, "Yes, someday we will have a hotel just as big."
"What's this hotel compared to?" Xiao Han said lightly, "Have you forgotten the hotels in Macau? That's what you call grand."

"Yeah!" Li Dapang nodded and said, "In our country, only big cities might have such hotels. Forget Linjiang City, even the provincial city doesn't have such nice hotels."
At that moment, a black Audi A4 slowly drove up to the entrance.
"Xiao Han." Yang Xiaoyan excitedly ran down from the car at the entrance. When she saw Li Dapang, she instinctively ignored him and stared at Xiao Han, "Xiao Han, long time no see. How's college life?"
```
"Pretty good, what about you?" Xiao Han asked.
At that moment, a man wearing a black suit got out of the car.
Yang Xiaoyan hurriedly latched onto his arm and then said, "This is my boyfriend, he's the director of the provincial city business bureau. He's only thirty this year."
"Wow, that's really young." Li Dapang was the first to react. He quickly went up, shook the man's hand, and said, "So young and already so promising. You must have a backing at home, right? You must have connections, correct?"
"Li Dapang, what are you doing?" Yang Xiaoyan frowned, clearly displeased.
Xiao Han quickly grabbed Li Dapang and said, "Big Fatty, stop it."
Li Dapang let go of the hand. The man appeared mild-mannered and then said, "You're Li Dapang, right? Xiaoyan's ex-boyfriend, aren't you?"
"Correct!" Li Dapang nodded.
"Good." The man smiled and said, "Very good. Thank you for taking care of her before."
"Don't mention it." Li Dapang shook his head and said, "Heh, I've already unlocked quite a few positions. Just don't know if you've unlocked them yet."
The man's face changed color.
Yang Xiaoyan's expression darkened, just about to start scolding. Xiao Han quickly pulled Li Dapang into the hotel. This resolved what could have been a violent conflict.
However, after Xiao Han and Li Dapang left, the man watched Yang Xiaoyan with a ferocious gaze. Yang Xiaoyan hurriedly pleaded, "Dear, that's all in the past. Don't be angry, how can you lower yourself to the same level as that dead fatty, you're a civil servant, what's he compared to you?"
"Hmph!" The man was still not appeased, he sneered and then said, "I'm not angry. But when we go back tonight..."
"I... I'll definitely cooperate with you!" Yang Xiaoyan hurriedly nodded, "Any position you want, I'll satisfy you!"
"That's more like it." A hint of evil smile flashed in the man's eyes as he followed Yang Xiaoyan into the hotel.
At the hotel's top floor.
It was the most luxurious level of the Sheraton Hotel, it was also a huge conference room that could be arranged for multiple functions. Today was the day Jiang Xiaoliang had booked the entire level for a high school reunion. The news had already spread, and Jiang Xiaoliang could summon a crowd with one call. As a Peking University student and the scion of Jiangbei City's leading local enterprise, he naturally had a lot of clout. With his call, many had come.
Because it was free, no need for everyone to chip in, one could enjoy fine wine and food. Only a fool wouldn't come.
Of course, those who came naturally spared no effort in praising Jiang Xiaoliang.
Back in school, Liao Zhijie strutted around arrogantly but couldn't find a job after graduation and eventually quietly took up a job as a security guard in a shopping mall. After becoming a security guard, he lived a nine-to-five life, feeling as if he would never have his day in the sun.
Now, he finally felt like he might have found an opportunity to climb up. So, he decided to approach Jiang Xiaoliang to change his life. Just one word from Jiang Xiaoliang could possibly transform his life dramatically. Liao Zhijie wanted to seek a position at the Sheraton Hotel from Jiang Xiaoliang, even being a lobby manager would be better than being a security guard at a mall.
Liao Zhijie wore a wrinkled suit, having taken a bath specially, after arriving at the hotel, he started to look around for Jiang Xiaoliang.
After looking around, he quickly homed in on Jiang Xiaoliang.
Jiang Xiaoliang was holding a glass of red wine, surrounded by a group of beautiful girls. These girls harbored tender feelings for Jiang Xiaoliang, sending him flirtatious glances, practically clinging to him. Half a year of college life had matured Jiang Xiaoliang a little. Not just in stature, but more so in terms of aura.
"Young Master Jiang." Liao Zhijie patted the creases on his suit, then hurried over and said, "Do you still recognize me?"
"You are..." Jiang Xiaoliang frowned, and then he instantly had a realization, "You're Liao Zhijie, right?"
"Correct!" Liao Zhijie hurriedly nodded, "I'm flattered that Young Master Jiang still remembers me. Heh heh..."
"Do you need me for something?" Jiang Xiaoliang asked curiously.
He still had some impression of Liao Zhijie, the guy who used to be The Demon King in high school, always mixing with riffraff outside of school, botching his college entrance exam, definitely not college material, and afterwards finding a random job.
"Yes, yes." Liao Zhijie nodded hurriedly, "I need to ask for your help with something."
"Oh? What is it?" Jiang Xiaoliang smiled.
Liao Zhijie glanced awkwardly at the female classmates nearby. But Jiang Xiaoliang laughed and said, "It's alright, we're all classmates here, what kind of matter can't you speak of?"
"It's like this!" Liao Zhijie smiled faintly and then said, "I'm not satisfied with my current job, I want to find a job at the Sheraton Hotel, what do you think... could you provide me the position of lobby manager?"
Plp...
Many girls around burst into laughter.
