An Wuyang left home. He first used the map and ride-hailing app on his phone to book a car. His driver's license training had reached Subject Three, and if nothing went wrong, he would be able to get his license before the end of the month.
Maybe I should try carpooling? An Wuyang suddenly had an idea he had never considered before while checking the map and ride-hailing app.
However, in the end, An Wuyang still chose Premium Ride.
Although his family's business was currently in trouble, An Wuyang had also obtained the Happy Life System. So why should he make things difficult for himself?
It was late June in the furnace-like city of Shengqing. An ordinary ride-hailing carpool might not even have its air conditioning on, and An Wuyang saw no reason to make things difficult for himself.
After all, An Wuyang had been accustomed to a life of wealth and privilege since childhood.
After An Wuyang selected Premium Ride in the map and ride-hailing app, a notification popped up at the top of his phone screen. It was from the Class 3-6 group chat on WeChat.
An Wuyang opened the group chat and checked the messages.
'Sun Zhiming: @An Wuyang: Bro, I heard your family lost the pharmaceutical centralized procurement bid?'
'Yang Kai: Is that the recent Fifth Pharmaceutical Centralized Procurement?'
'Song An: I heard Zhiming's family is also in the pharmaceutical business. Brother Zhiming, did you hear any inside information?'
An Wuyang quickly read through the messages. He had never gotten along with Sun Zhiming since childhood because Sun Zhiming was from Caimai Pharmaceutical.
The biggest reason Five Watches Pharmaceuticals had lost the Fifth Pharmaceutical Centralized Procurement this time was that Caimai Pharmaceutical had drastically lowered the price of Sodium Esomeprazole for Injection, thereby striking at Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group.
The rivalry between the two companies had spread to An Wuyang and Sun Zhiming, causing the two of them to dislike each other from childhood.
This time, Caimai Pharmaceutical had snatched the bid from Five Watches Pharmaceuticals during the Fifth Pharmaceutical Centralized Procurement. Sun Zhiming deliberately tried to humiliate An Wuyang in the class group chat. It was simply business as usual for him.
As for Yang Kai and Song An, they had no grudges with An Wuyang. However, they were Sun Zhiming's lackeys, so of course they had to follow Sun Zhiming and bite at him too.
An Wuyang glanced at the messages in the class group chat, then directly closed the message window. He had no intention of replying to Sun Zhiming in the group.
How was he supposed to reply?
Should he pretend to be magnanimous and say that Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group did not care about losing the Fifth Pharmaceutical Centralized Procurement?
Or should he lose his temper and trade insults with Sun Zhiming?
An Wuyang did not want to become an incompetent clown raging helplessly.
When faced with an established fact like this, the most dignified response was to ignore it.
However, An Wuyang's silence only made Sun Zhiming push things further.
'Sun Zhiming: @An Wuyang: Bro, why aren't you saying anything? Are you in a bad mood?'
'Sun Zhiming: If you're in a bad mood, I can drink with you and help you forget your troubles.'
'Sun Zhiming: After all, your group's situation will be terrible after losing this pharmaceutical procurement bid. You're already facing bankruptcy, right?'
'Sun Zhiming: If you need any help, just contact me anytime. I'll definitely help you, bro!'
'Yang Kai: Brother Zhiming is so generous!'
'Song An: Brother Zhiming is really loyal!'
The operating situation of Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group was no secret. Although Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group was not a listed company and did not need to disclose its financial reports, everyone was a local player, and they were competitors in the same industry. How could Caimai Pharmaceutical possibly fail to know about Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group's situation?
Therefore, Sun Zhiming understood Wugengtian Pharmaceutical Group quite well, and he could mock An Wuyang without restraint in the class group chat.
What was wrong with kicking a competitor when he was down?
An Wuyang naturally saw the messages Sun Zhiming had sent in the class group chat, but he still chose to ignore them.
After all, it was nothing more than a dog barking!
However, An Wuyang's ignoring Sun Zhiming did not mean that everyone else would ignore the messages Sun Zhiming sent.
About five minutes after Sun Zhiming sent his messages in the class group chat, An Wuyang had just gotten into the Premium Ride car heading to the driving school when he received a private message.
It was not Sun Zhiming privately messaging him to provoke him, because An Wuyang had never added Sun Zhiming on WeChat.
The person who sent the message was An Wuyang's girlfriend, Su Yueling.
The two were classmates. Su Yueling had taken the initiative to pursue An Wuyang before. Although her grades were not very good, she had fair skin, a beautiful face, and a pair of notably long legs. Thus, after the College Entrance Examination, the two naturally got together.
'Su Yueling: Is what they said in the group chat true?'
'An Wuyang: ?'
'Su Yueling: Screenshot of Sun Zhiming's message.JPG'
'Su Yueling: Is this true?'
The screenshot Su Yueling sent was clearly the message Sun Zhiming had just posted in the class group chat, saying that An Wuyang's family business was facing bankruptcy.
Looking at the messages Su Yueling had sent, An Wuyang naturally understood what she meant. He even knew why Su Yueling had taken the initiative to pursue him: it was simply because his family was well-off.
An Wuyang was neither a fool nor a narcissist. Of course he knew the true reason behind these things.
For example, why could Jiangnan's Number One Deep Affection, whom so many people revered as their grandmaster, win the affection of girls?
Was it because he was handsome?
Driving a Ferrari with one hand was indeed very cool!
Unfortunately, too many sweet young things had gotten the cause and effect backward.
'An Wuyang: Don't ask a question when you already know the answer.'
Since Sun Zhiming had already gone all-out humiliating him in the class group chat, the information was naturally true. Otherwise, would Sun Zhiming not just be humiliating himself?
'Su Yueling: Then... how is your family doing?'
'An Wuyang: Not very well.'
'An Wuyang: In the best possible situation, I suppose we'd simply have no debts left.'
'Su Yueling: What does that mean?'
'An Wuyang: It means that our family will undergo bankruptcy liquidation. Whether the group's assets or the family's assets, everything will be used to repay debts and compensate all parties for their losses. Once the problems are resolved, we won't have any additional debts left.'
Su Yueling understood what An Wuyang meant. In short, the An Family had collapsed!
'Su Yueling: What will you do in the future?'
'An Wuyang: I'm planning to study Marketing Major in Tianfu. It'll make finding a job easier in the future.'
Su Yueling looked at An Wuyang's reply and immediately frowned. She had indeed taken the initiative to pursue An Wuyang because his family was very well-off.
Now that something unexpected had happened to An Wuyang's family, she could not possibly suffer alongside him, could she?
Thus, Su Yueling replied with a hint of coldness.
'Su Yueling: My mom needs me for something. I'll contact you later.'
An Wuyang looked at the message, and a trace of disdain flashed through his eyes. Was she really in such a hurry?
The outcome was still undecided!
'An Wuyang: Okay.'
'Ding!'
'Random Event: She's panicking! She's panicking!'
'Since the host's girlfriend is panicking, please don't panic. The relationship you think you've missed may actually be a romantic disaster that Heaven has blocked for you!'
'Event Requirement: Please handle this relationship properly!'
'Event Reward: Relevant rewards will be obtained according to the host's solution.'
The Happy Life System issued a notification in An Wuyang's mind, bringing a smile to An Wuyang's face as he sat in the back seat of the Premium Ride car.
It seemed that his girlfriend's change wasn't entirely a bad thing!
