Chapter 1267 - An opportunity during a gathering

Chapter 1267 – An opportunity during a gathering

“Lao Si, you are organizing a gathering? Sure. I will be there. I have the contact numbers of the rest and will contact them.” Tian Lei hung up and reminisced about his life in the university. After he started working, he realized it’s hard to make friends compared to the past.

During his university days, there are no scheming people or work troubles.

Other than his dormitory people, Feng Yu realized he does not have his other classmates’ contact numbers. But this is not a problem as he can easily get someone to go to his school to find out where they are working after graduation.

But some of his classmates had changed jobs and had to spend some effort to contact them. This will not be possible for someone else. Even the class monitor, Tian Lei, will not find them.

…….

“Huh? Is this the clubhouse? I heard only the powerful and wealthy people can enter. I didn’t expect we can enter this place.”

“It’s because Feng Yu is paying for us. Even if we are going to split the bills, which one of us can afford it?”

“I knew Feng Yu’s family is rich, but I had not expected him to be richer now. I heard he is the World’s Richest Man now with 60 billion USD. I have not even seen 6 million RMB!”

“You want to compare yourself with Feng Yu? When he was in High School, he is competent in two foreign languages. Furthermore, he is a genius businessman. We, on the other hand, can only work for others. Just be content with what we have, and I heard you are promoted to Section Chief at your workplace. I am still a Deputy Section Chief!”

Feng Yu’s classmates arrived, and Tian Lei stood at the entrance to receive them. Feng Yu is inside the clubhouse, making arrangements.

“Wang Lei, you had become tanner now.” Feng Yu punched Wang Lei lightly on his chest.

Wang Lei laughed. “I have no choice too. I have to be out under the sun all the time, and how can I still remain fair? Lao Si, this is my wife.”

Feng Yu had asked them to bring their family members to this gathering. As he pays for their transportation, lodging, and food, everyone is willing to bring their families with them.

Most of Feng Yu’s classmates are married, and even those who are not married have partners. But there are still one or two who are still single.

“Feng Yu, where’s Nana? I heard both of you had gotten married without informing us. This is not right.” Tian Lei’s wife, Qingqing, said.

Qingqing is Li Na’s university classmate, and they had been in touch after they graduated.

“Ah… we did not inform anyone about our marriage. She is pregnant now and is resting in Bing City.” Feng Yu explained.

Li Na is not suitable to fly and did not come for this gathering.

Looking at the familiar faces, Feng Yu felt he had returned to his university days.

Everyone arrived, and they split up into smaller groups to chat among themselves. But everyone wants to speak to Feng Yu.

They are not seeking Feng Yu’s favors, as they are all graduates from Beijing University, and all of them have pride. They just want to chat with the World’s Richest Man.

“Lao Si, tell us. How does it feel to be the World’s Richest Man?” Li Yong asked loudly.

“What feeling? It’s just being scared to be recognized by others on the streets, and everyone is asking me for donations. Also, I must bring bodyguards with me whenever I go out. I feel like I have lost my freedom.” Feng Yu laughed.

“Look, Lao Si had been corrupted by the evil capitalism and has become like Tang Feng. He went to the US and did not return after that. I heard he had become a US citizen.” Li Yong shouted.

Tang Feng quickly retorted. “I am still Chinese, ok! All I did was getting a Green card. What can I do if my company wants to send me there? Do you think living in the US is great? It’s hard for me to even eat rice, and even if you can find a Chinese restaurant, the food will taste weird.”

“Feng Yu, are you used to the food in the US?” Someone asked.

“I ate Chinese cuisine most of the time but do eat steaks occasionally.”

“Do you still need to ask? Feng Yu must have hired a Chinese Chef at his mansion there. His helpers might be more than all of us here.” Another classmate joked.

Everyone joked around, and some are enjoying the sumptuous buffet.

“We must thank Feng Yu for bring us together again. If it’s not for him, how can we contact everyone here.” Someone said.

“That’s right. When we graduate, there are pagers. But at that time, how many of us can afford to buy a pager. Now, pagers are replaced by mobile phones, and all of us don’t know each other’s numbers.” Someone added.

“That’s right. After graduation, some of us started working, and some carried on with our studies. Everyone become busy with their own lives, and I thought I must wait for at least twenty years before we can gather together.”

“Feng Yu, how did you contact everyone?”

“I got a friend to help. If it’s me, I will also not find everyone. But now, we know everyone’s number, and it’s easier to contact each other in the future.”

“Eh, I know something more convenient. QQ. It is an instant messaging software. Do you all have QQ accounts?” Tian Lei asked.

“I have.”

“No, I don’t.”

“You can just register one. Most of us are using computers at work, and it’s very convenient for us to contact each other. A new feature, group chat, has been added recently, and we can form a group. That way, we can all chat together.”

“Luckily, we have Feng Yu as our classmate. It should be hard for other classes to hold a gathering, right?” Someone added.

Feng Yu heard this and suddenly remembered he had forgotten about that social software.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, people are using Facebook overseas, and Chinese are using Renren. Renren was formerly known as Xiaonei (on-campus network), and it’s popular among students. It also has some blogging features.

Xiaonei is not considered successful in China, but Facebook made Mark Zuckerberg a billionaire. Also, Facebook has massive users and has high profits.

In Feng Yu’s previous life, the Americans are the first to develop such products, followed by many other countries. Other companies are just copying them, and it includes Xiaonei.

In this life, why can’t this product appear in China first?

Why can’t the Chinese start this trend first?

Also, this software can target the students and help people can in touch with former classmates. It should attract many users.

Furthermore, this software can be promoted through other websites like Sina or Sohu. It will be popular much faster.

But Feng Yu must think of a better name for this software. It must not use the same name as his previous life as Xiaonei will limit its users to students.

“Eh, Feng Yu, why are you in a daze?” Tian Lei patted Feng Yu’s back.

“Nothing. I just suddenly remembered some business matters. Never mind. Let’s have a toast!”

“Cheers!”
