Chapter 96: Old Classmates

[Tl/n: Thank you guys for the name suggestions. More chapters to come!]

...

All these bright old classmates heard that Zeke was going to give a speech at Phoenix University today, so they came early to meet him.

No, as soon as Zeke came, they couldn't wait to run backstage, and when they came up, they said all kinds of nice compliments.

"Everyone, how are you?"

After Zeke heard the praise and flattery from the old classmates, he revealed a playful smile.

He didn't forget at all that these so-called classmates in the past looked down on "him" and spoke ill of him behind his back and used bad tricks.

These people come from various big families, all of them are very arrogant.

The previous Zeke was also such a person.

A group of people who think they are awesome and arrogant meet, how can peace be possible?

But now the status of these people is obviously not one or two grades worse than Zeke, otherwise, how could people as arrogant as them all crowd around, showing flattering and praising faces?

"Zeke, do you still remember me? I used to be in the same dormitory as you, but I didn't expect that you'd become the richest man in the kingdom after not seeing you for so many years. It's amazing!"

A tall, lanky man dressed stylishly and holding the keys to the Porsche came up to them.

"Remember, how could I not remember Xander Catig, the second young master of the Catig family, one of the four major families?"

Zeke smiled slightly, "I still remember that when Young Master Xander filled a bathtub with red wine worth 70,000 to 80,000 Eso and took a bath in it, it was a sensation back then."

"Haha! Did you hear that? I told you he must still remember me."

Xander's vanity suddenly swelled, and he laughed proudly.

Being able to be remembered by Zeke, in the circle of the rich second generation of their big family, this is now an extraordinary event that is worth showing off.

"And I still remember that in addition to pouring it into the bathtub, you also poured a bottle on my new laptop. You said to give my computer a bath too."

"Remember this? Young Master Xander?"

Zeke raised the corner of his mouth and continued.

Hearing this, the smile on Xander's face suddenly collapsed.

"This... this is all a misunderstanding... I... I drank too much..."

Xander's face was ugly.

Seeing that Xander's feigned coercion failed, the other classmates snickered beside him.

"Isn't it right? I remember that Young Master Xander said at the time that my broken computer was not as expensive as your bottle of wine, so he could bathe my broken computer for me?" Zeke smiled.

"Zeke, you see it's been a few years in the past, don't mention it. No need to mention it. I'm waiting for your lecture today, I'll invite you to dinner. Didn't you really like racing cars before? I just bought a few recently. It's a very good car, and we'll play with it later."

Xander quickly changed the subject.

"Oh! Yes! I almost forgot if you didn't mention it."

Zeke said, "Don't you have several companies operating in various fields under your name? Well, I want to acquire some companies recently. I think your companies are quite good, so I'm informing you first."

"You..."

Xander's expression changed immediately.

If someone said that they wanted to forcibly buy his company, Xander would definitely scold him and then despise him. How could he say that he is also the young master of one of the four major families, the Catig family, and his background is very tough.

However, the person who said this at this moment is Zeke, the elder of the council who holds real power, and the title of Phoenix's richest man. Acquiring several of his Catig family's companies is simply a piece of cake.

Of course, he can also resist and curse.

But he was afraid that he would wake up the next day, and the sky in his house was full of Iron Man.

"What? Looking at Young Master Xander, he seems to be a little dissatisfied with me?"

Zeke raised his eyelids.

"Don't dare, I don't dare, what did Mr. Zeke say?"

Xander gritted his teeth and forced a smile and said, "I'm sorry, I remember that I still have something to do, so I'll take my leave."

Before waiting for the others to reply, Xander left from backstage in a daze.

As soon as he left, everyone else backstage burst into laughter.

To deal with this self-righteous richling, Zeke certainly couldn't be polite or respect him.

"That... I'm sorry, I'm also in a hurry, so I'll go first."

Some people watch jokes, while others seem to see their own fate.

For example, the eldest young master of the Mabini family, one of the four major families, Enzo Mabini.

When Enzo was in college, he had a lot of followers. In addition, the Mabini family was ranked first among the four major families at that time. The elders were especially protective of their shortcomings, so Enzo became very arrogant. He was domineering in school and did a lot of bad things. Among them, Zeke was bullied by him.

This time, Enzo came to see Zeke, purely to try his luck. After all, the Mabini family is not as tough as before. If he can have a good relationship with Zeke, he might be able to help his family.

But after seeing Xander's end, he knew that Zeke had not forgotten the past, and immediately prepared to leave.

"Don't tell me! Enzo Mabini, Young Master Enzo, you used to be a tyrant in the school, and you have the best of both worlds. The old classmates have just met, why are you leaving so quickly?"

"What? Don't you want to give me some respect?" Zeke said.

Immediately, all eyes converged on Enzo.

Enzo was suddenly in a dilemma, he wasn't doing anything strenuous, but his face was not looking very good.

"Young Master Enzo is looking worse and worse now."

Zeke made a move, "I heard that Mateo Mabini is now a giant in the transportation field that controls several provinces and cities in the south. Maybe we can still cooperate in the future."

Seeing Zeke's gesture of showing his favor, Enzo's eyes suddenly lit up.

Sure enough, this is a businessman.

In business affairs, those things that happened before were nothing.

"Of course I am looking forward to working with President Zeke."

Enzo smiled flatly and stretched out his hand to shake Zeke.

However, his expression soon changed.

A huge force came from his hand, Zeke's hand was like an iron pincer, and pinching his hand hurt, Enzo's slightly fat face suddenly turned into the color of pig liver.
