The Goddess You Can't Pursue

"Whoa, I gotta say, Young Master Cheng, you really went all out this time."

Looking at the extravagance of the private room, the classmates couldn't help but exclaim in amazement again.

Of course, they weren't the only ones who were astonished.

Even Cheng Gang himself, the host of this reunion, was incredibly surprised when he saw the room.

At the same time, he thought, No way? I booked a standard room, how did it turn into this luxurious suite?

He knew that a deluxe suite like this had a minimum spend, with a meal costing at least over a million.

Lin Chen, who had been keeping a close eye on Cheng Gang, understood what was happening when he saw the latter's worried expression.

He immediately walked over, patted Cheng Gang on the shoulder, and said with a smile:

"What are you standing around looking stunned for? Maybe the hotel specially arranged this for you, the lucky guy."

"Ah, now that you mention it, that's quite possible."

Hearing this, Cheng Gang's worry vanished. He immediately started bragging to the classmates who were still unaware of the situation.

After hearing the whole story, the other classmates were all filled with surprise and envy.

"Young Master Cheng, your luck is unbelievable, to run into something this good."

"Yeah, even in Zhonghai, the number of people who can book out the entire Emperor Hotel can probably be counted on one hand."

And so, amidst everyone's chatter, the other old classmates also began to arrive.

Naturally, when they saw the luxurious private room, they couldn't help but express their amazement.

However, with some classmates deliberately explaining the situation, these exclamations soon subsided.

Everyone sat down according to how close they were during their school days. Coupled with it being a reunion after many years, the conversation quickly got going.

"Hey, have you guys heard recently? Our class's Colonel Qin is really something these days."

"I heard. She really is amazing, managing to hold her own in the murky waters of live streaming."

"More than just holding her own, she's already showing signs of becoming Douyu's top streamer. And you know, just that title alone must earn her a fortune."

"Yeah, if it wasn't for everyone being old classmates and not having seen each other for years, she probably wouldn't have come given her current fame."

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

Even Cheng Gang nodded in approval.

At the same time, he became even more determined to pursue Colonel Qin. If he missed this opportunity, he would never have another chance.

Because the gap between them would only grow larger, until they were complete strangers, living in different worlds.

Clang!

Just as everyone was discussing, the door to the private room opened.

Everyone instinctively turned their heads and saw that the person who had arrived was none other than Colonel Qin Xueqing, the very person they had just been discussing.

Qin Xueqing was wearing a pure white dress as she slowly walked in.

Although her white dress had a cute design, her voluptuous figure made it exude a unique charm.

Long, wavy hair, exquisite makeup.

Combined with her stunning beauty and the subtle yet powerful aura she exuded, she looked like a captivating empress.

"This... she's too beautiful."

When the classmates saw this, they were all inwardly amazed.

Even Lin Chen felt a flicker of something unusual when she arrived.

At the same time, he thought, It's only been a few days, and this girl's aura has changed so drastically.

Just based on the aura and charm she's radiating, she could rival any popular young actress in the entertainment industry, or even surpass them...

"So beautiful..."

Cheng Gang, standing nearby, was already captivated by Qin Xueqing's charm.

The moment he saw her, his eyes hadn't left her.

Seeing this, Lin Chen smiled.

Although he felt a little bad for Cheng Gang, who was about to pursue Qin Xueqing, knowing that she liked him.

However, seeing someone admire her pursuer like this did give him a sense of pride and satisfaction.

Perhaps this was what people online called...

The goddess you desperately pursue but can never attain.

Little did they know.

She was also desperately pursuing the man she could never attain, and she was just one of many admirers.

"Sorry everyone, I'm late."

Seeing that most of the guests had arrived, Qin Xueqing felt a bit awkward.

Fortunately, no one blamed her. They even said kindly, "You're not late, Zuo Yikai hasn't arrived yet."

Zuo Yikai?

As soon as these words were spoken, the conversation among everyone present began to revolve around the yet-to-arrive Zuo Yikai.

Ever since college, people in the class had never stopped talking about him.

Of course, the reason for discussing Zuo Yikai wasn't because of his academic excellence in class.

It was due to his superior family background.

If they were to rank solely by family background, none of the people present could compete with him.

Even Cheng Gang's family and Qin Xueqing, the current top streamer on Douyu, would be left in the dust in this regard.

It was simply because his family background was too formidable.

Of course, Lin Chen wasn't included in this comparison.

After all, he possessed assets in the hundreds of billions. He wasn't just a big name in Zhonghai, but could even rank among the prominent figures in all of China.

He truly didn't pay much attention to someone like Zuo Yikai from Zhonghai.

However, even if he didn't pay attention, others certainly did, and quite a few of them at that.

Among the more than sixty classmates present, at least fifty were discussing this Zuo Yikai who had yet to arrive.

"Hey, have you guys kept up with Zuo Yikai's news since graduation? Given their family's background, he shouldn't be doing too badly, right?"

"Not just 'not too badly,' think about the Zuo family's influence in Zhonghai. While they can't compare to the top families, they're definitely doing much better than us."

"Yeah, even at their worst, the Zuo family's influence in Zhonghai is still far beyond what ordinary people like us can achieve."

"Whoa, are you guys all using dial-up internet? You don't even know about the Zuo family's recent developments?"

Upon hearing this, many of the old classmates' interest was reignited, and they immediately asked:

"Oh? Has the Zuo family become even more successful?"

"Successful? They've become incredibly successful."

"Just last week, the Zuo family announced a collaboration with Shilin Guomao Group. They're now a company truly backed by a powerful entity."

"I'm sure everyone here is familiar with Zhonghai's Shilin Guomao Group, right?"

"Shilin Guomao Group? You mean that star enterprise in Zhonghai, the one with annual profits in the tens of billions?"

"What else? Do you think Zhonghai has a second Shilin Guomao Group?"
