"""And today, out of the forty or so people from Cai University’s Class of 2020, Law 3, it was impressive that over twenty of them could gather. In the coming decades, even if there were class reunions, it wouldn’t be possible to have so many people.
"I’m not saying not to let him drink, but he’s working at a bank now, and there are already plenty of social occasions. I just feel for him!"
Yu Peipei pouted.
After everyone had a good laugh, the guy who spoke earlier asked, "By the way, Li Cheng, you still keep in touch with Zhou Wang, right? Ding Yi is understandable, but why didn’t Zhou Wang come?"
When this name was mentioned, quite a few people at the two tables looked over.
Every class always had a few memorable figures. Perhaps calling them "prominent figures" wasn’t quite accurate, but even years later, when you’d forgotten everyone else’s faces and names, you’d still remember them.
There weren’t many outstanding students in their Law 3 class. Among the girls, Ding Yi shone the brightest and was the unattainable dream for countless boys, needless to say.
Among the boys, aside from the always low-key rich second-generation Guo Nansheng from Magic City, Zhou Wang was barely considered to be half of one.
"You know the level he’s at now, how could he have so much free time?"
Before Li Cheng could answer, Class President Fang Lu already said with a laugh.
"Ah, you’ve seen him after graduation, Class President?" the guy who left his Mercedes key on the table asked curiously.
"Met him once. He’s changed so much. He’s on a completely different level from us now..." Fang Lu laughed, recalling the birthday party scene.
"Speaking of which, Li Cheng, during the event today, I think I heard the dean asking you about him. Is that true?"
At this moment, another guy seemed to have remembered something and asked Li Cheng for confirmation.
"That did happen. You guys might not have noticed, but Zhou Wang was named one of the ’Top Ten Outstanding Youths’ in his hometown, Jing City. The school tried to contact him but had no luck..."
Li Cheng nodded.
The room burst into a chorus of exclamations, with only the previous guy saying with a laugh, "Wow, even though Jing City is just a fourth-tier city, that’s still quite impressive!"
Li Cheng couldn’t help but feel a bit displeased at the somewhat sarcastic remark but was held back by Yu Peipei.
Seeing his girlfriend shaking her head slightly, Li Cheng held his tongue.
He often felt frustrated for not being able to share how Zhou Wang had a billion in deposits at their bank. Like right now.
"Hey, wow, is that Zhou Wang?"
Just then, a round-faced guy who had been playing on his phone, mostly uninvolved in the conversation, suddenly looked up and exclaimed loudly.
Everyone was startled at first, but upon hearing Zhou Wang’s name, they all curiously crowded around.
"That really is Zhou Wang! Wow, I didn’t realize he was so handsome back then..."
"No, that’s not the point. The real point is, isn’t the beauty next to him Endme?"
"Who’s Endme? Zhou Wang’s girlfriend? Look, they’re holding hands! Wow, is this girl a celebrity...? Wait, what’s going on here? Why are there reporters?"
"Why is no one talking about what I noticed? I only saw the Rolex on Zhou Wang’s wrist..."
Hearing the exclamations, the people at the other table couldn’t sit still either, wanting to come over for a look.
"Come on, stop crowding! Don’t you guys have phones? Just search and see for yourselves!"
Feeling crowded, the guy with glasses couldn’t help but blurt out.
"What keywords should we search for?"
"Search for ’Wuyou Night mysterious guest,’ and if that’s not precise enough, add ’Rolls-Royce.’"
The guy quickly replied.
Everyone fell silent, all pulling out their phones. Even those who didn’t usually browse short videos couldn’t resist the curiosity.
A moment later, exclamations echoed one after another.
"Did Zhou Wang attend Wuyou Night?"
"Wow, not just Endme, how come Hua Suisui was also holding his arm on the red carpet? They are my two favorite internet celebrities, oh, Zhou Wang, you beast..."
"So, both girls are internet celebrities?"
"Dude, you haven’t heard of Wuyou Media? This is Wuyou Media’s annual event. Of course, everyone there is a web celeb!"
Amidst the uproar, the group roughly figured it out. Zhou Wang, the Zhou Wang they knew, had actually arrived at the Wuyou Gala in a Rolls-Royce Phantom as a "mysterious guest" and had stirred up some buzz with two internet celebrities with over five million followers each...
What was impressive was that although there was quite a bit of buzz about him, hardly anyone knew who he was.
"So, you’re saying Zhou Wang made it big because he became an internet celeb?"
The guy playing with the Mercedes key laughed.
"Brother Dog isn’t an internet celeb, he..."
Li Cheng wanted to retort but didn’t know what to say.
He only knew Brother Dog’s wealth far exceeded the imagination of their peers, but he actually had no clue what Zhou Wang was up to.
"Come on, come on, being an internet celebrity isn’t a shameful thing in this era. Look at Tong Jingcheng, who was just a little model. He’s doing so well now, and didn’t you see Zhou Wang wearing a Rolex... though it might be brand sponsorship."
"It’s possible it’s sponsorship. I saw that at this year’s Wuyou Gala, even Hermes took part. The influence of online celebrities is indeed astonishing now."
The round-faced guy with glasses nodded in agreement.
