Chapter 174 Winner in Life
Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan immediately showed a delighted expression and couldn't help saying, "That's really great, Qin Xiaoxu, I thought you were still mad at me!"
His words were somewhat intimate, as if the two of them had a special relationship, which immediately made Lin Jie somewhat dissatisfied. He directly said, "Qin Xiaoxu, you've really grown some nerve, I'm your boyfriend, and now you're adding another guy on WeChat right in front of me, is that appropriate?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan immediately defended himself, "We are just classmates after all, and I have a girlfriend now. I added Xiaoxu purely out of classmates' friendship, I won't disturb you two!"
His words reeked of sarcasm.
In fact, Lin Zhiyuan had no so-called boundaries at all, she was just a girlfriend, not a wife, Lin Zhiyuan certainly didn't care.
At this moment, Qin Xiaoxu had no choice but to say, "That's right, we are just classmates. You must have quite a few female classmates in your phone too!"
Lin Jie wanted to say something else, but was infuriated by Qin Xiaoxu.
But Qin Xiaoxu didn't take it seriously, after all, their relationship wasn't truly that of a couple, but feigned; Lin Jie had no place to interfere so much.
Naturally, Lin Jie thought the same, he turned his head, but he was getting more and more annoyed inside.
At this moment, Han Xuewei watched the two of them and couldn't help but laugh.
These two guys were just too proud and arrogant, neither willing to give in nor apologize, just at a stalemate. If there wasn't some reinforcement to push them, they probably would never make any progress in this lifetime.
Han Xuewei watched them and resolved that if she had the chance, she definitely must play matchmaker for the two of them, as they really seemed so perfect for each other.
Meanwhile, the situation here had also been noticed by Li Lanxue and Shen Wenjun.
Li Lanxue looked coldly at Lin Zhiyuan at this moment.
She had no interest in Lin Zhiyuan, for he was a person of no use in her network.
She wouldn't associate with such a person, after all, just a wage earner. The people she needed to know were those useful in the business world, like Shen Wenjun, who had connected with her because of business matters.
So at this moment, when Li Lanxue looked at them, she waited until Lin Zhiyuan had left before approaching Han Xuewei, toasted her with a glass of wine, and said, "Han Xuewei, we were quite familiar with each other back at school, but almost everyone has not yet graduated. I heard before that you and your husband dropped out halfway, and you probably haven't graduated yet, right?"
Upon hearing this, Han Xuewei frowned. She had a hunch that Li Lanxue was definitely up to some mischief again.
Despite this, she still replied amiably, "Yes, we need to go back to school when the term starts this year. We must get the graduation certificate, and I also want to pursue postgraduate studies..."
Hearing Han Xuewei's words, Li Lanxue immediately revealed a mocking expression and said, "Is that so? But we've heard you now have three kids at home. You're really amazing, having triplets. Your husband hasn't even graduated from college yet and the whole weight of the family has fallen on him. Can he afford it?"
After she finished speaking, she sized up Han Xuewei and could see that Han Xuewei's complexion had already turned rather unpleasant.
The many classmates around also showed curious expressions, and Li Lanxue continued, "I heard before that the industry on your husband's side hasn't been doing well these past few years, do you need help from classmates?"
Upon hearing these words, everyone present began to buzz with excitement.
Li Lanxue's insinuation was that Lin Yi was jobless and even had to support a large family, which surely meant he was relying on Han Xuewei.
Isn't this just a clear case of living off a woman?
Han Xuewei certainly understood Li Lanxue's meaning and directly responded, "I think you may be mistaken. Lin Yi has been taking care of my father's hotel business, and my husband has amassed a substantial amount of money from his time as a student. He has made quite a bit from investments and stocks, so it's not as embarrassing as you imagine. Moreover, his studies have not been delayed."
Han Xuewei despised Li Lanxue's insinuating tone, even if she were to speak of herself—but why should Lin Yi be slandered?!
Thus, at that moment, she did not speak as softly as usual.
Hearing this, Li Lanxue immediately furrowed her brows and said, "I haven't heard about these investments, and I don't understand them well! But as far as I know, whether it's investing or trading stocks, these are difficult endeavors, right? If there are losses, it becomes even harder. Truly, you can be honest—it doesn't matter. We're all classmates here; if we can help you, we will.
With your husband out of a job and you taking care of three children, we just can't stand by and watch..."
Upon hearing this, Shen Wenjun also chimed in from the side, "That's right, Xue Mei. Honestly, we're just concerned, and why not have Lin Yi work at our company? The salary definitely won't be low!"
As these words were spoken, Lin Jie stood to the side with furrowed brows and stood up.
How dared these people take advantage of Lin Yi's absence to say he was living off a woman—this was utterly absurd!
So Lin Jie looked straight at them and retorted, "You people are really something, defaming and insulting someone without any evidence. Do you think you have any dignity?"
Then, his voice grew louder, echoing around the room, "I tell you, ten of you combined aren't worth as much as my brother. My brother is already tired enough just running Supreme Grade Supermarkets!"
"Ever heard of Supreme Grade Supermarkets? The biggest chain of supermarkets in Huaxia. He alone holds ten percent of the equity, and the profits and dividends amount to over ten billion. Who do you think you're looking down on?!"
Speaking somewhat indignantly, Lin Jie mentioned that the Supreme Grade Supermarkets was something Lin Yi had specifically told him about, which the two brothers were managing together.
In fact, this venture was also a reward given to Lin Yi by the system, but as Lin Yi lacked the time to manage it, he had entrusted the responsibility to Lin Jie and their parents.
At that moment, hearing these words, the surrounding crowd all showed astonished expressions. Supreme Grade Supermarkets was an essential part of their daily lives. It could be said that this establishment had woven itself into everyone's life.
With a quick search on their phones, they found Lin Yi's name among the shareholders, complete with his photo.
Everyone gasped in shock. Supreme Grade Supermarkets was a business with assets worth several hundred billion. With so many chain stores nationwide, owning ten percent of the shares translated to a fortune of several billion.
Everyone looked at Han Xuewei with amazement, not expecting that she had married a hidden tycoon!
And they were all still students, yet Lin Yi had become a billionaire, a true winner in life!
