Chapter 784: Junior And Senior (2)
Sirius’ overly blunt words caused Zhao Youming’s face to suddenly change color, and he looked at Sirius with more pleading eyes. Unfortunately, Sirius clearly did not intend to spare him this time.
When he saw that Sirius did not intend to be kind today, Zhao Youming’s eyes immediately fell, and he actually intended to use the same trick again. His face fell, he said bitterly, “Senior, I know that I was impulsive at that time. I shouldn’t have done it without discussing it with you...”
Zhao Youming wanted to say that it was his fault at that time. Without discussing it with Sirius, he had taken the initiative to tell his teacher about the accident in his laboratory.
He did not expect that his teacher would find out that Sirius had destroyed the laboratory and deliberately hid it, causing him to be punished.
After he said that, the tables would be instantly reversed, and it was easy for the people next to him to imagine that there was a grudge between them and Sirius, but they would think that Sirius would simply be unreasonable.
As a result, Sirius’ attitude towards him now would instead be criticized by the people around him, thinking that he was narrow-minded and petty. In that case, even if Sirius said something unfavorable to him later on... it could also be said that he was trying to take revenge on Zhao Youming for getting himself into trouble. fre ewebnovel.com
Unfortunately, Zhao Youming’s wishful thinking was about to go up in flames. Zhao Youlin had already predicted the ending from the beginning. With a faint smile, she interrupted Zhao Youming’s follow-up, “Junior, senior? So you two know each other! Sirius, why didn’t you tell me before this? So you and Chief Zhao are acquaintances!”
Sirius glanced at Zhao Youming coldly and didn’t say anything.
Zhao Youming was suddenly interrupted, and the mournful expression on his face suddenly froze. He said awkwardly, “Yes... Yes, senior and I used to go to the same school, but...”
“Oh, the same school. Then, is it middle school, high school, or university?”
Upon being interrupted again, if Zhao Youming still couldn’t see that Zhao Youlin was doing it on purpose, he would be really stupid. Thinking of how Zhao Youlin had said that they were friends before, this person had probably told Zhao Youlin about what happened back then. What’s more, Zhao Youlin might have arranged for this person to appear here today. The two of them had already joined forces to deal with him, so Zhao Youming couldn’t help but panic.
Of course, Zhao Youlin also knew that the lack of subtlety was going to alert her enemy quickly. The former master had already planned to attack Zhao Youming, so she didn’t have any hesitation about going all out. Zhao Youming’s career in the Zhao group was about to end, so what was there to worry about?
Zhao Youming’s heart was filled with thoughts. When he looked up, he saw Zhao Youlin looking at him with a faint smile, as if she was still waiting for his reply. The expression on his face became stiffer, and he said dryly, “University.”
“University? Didn’t you study abroad?” As Zhao Youlin spoke, she deliberately turned her head to look at Sirius, she pretended to be enlightened. “Look at my memory. Sirius also went to a university abroad. I didn’t expect you to have studied in the same university. It’s fate. Sirius, aren’t you going to say hello to your junior?”
As she spoke, Zhao Youlin gave Sirius a look, indicating for him to calm down. She had invited him here today to show off to Zhao Youming, not to really ruin the Zhao family’s anniversary.
Sirius naturally understood, but it would be a lie to say that he was not angry at all when he saw the person who had caused him so much trouble.
Zhao Youming did not dare to let Sirius speak first. If he was careless and said something shocking, his dignity would plummet today.
“I suddenly heard my cousin call senior Sirius just now. I did not react for a moment. You did not use this name in the past. Why did you suddenly want to use a foreign name?”
Sirius glanced at Zhao Youming indifferently. “That name from before had gained some... notoriety. I had to change it.”
Zhao Youming’s face froze again. He finally understood what it meant to shoot yourself in the foot. fr(e)ewebnov(e)l.com
The incident at that time had blown up so much. One could imagine how this person had been treated overseas. Using his original name would indeed attract the wrong attention. No wonder he wanted to change his name.
Realizing that he had said the wrong thing again, Zhao Youming quickly tried to make up for it. He forced a smile and changed the topic. “Ever since you left school, we haven’t seen each other for a long time. I didn’t expect to see each other again here. Just now, my cousin said that you were preparing to work with the Zhao Group. May I know where you are currently working?”
Zhao Youming’s words actually had a hint of probing in them. After all, if Sirius really wanted to work with the Zhao group, they would meet again and again in the future. Moreover, he had already predicted it back then. With such a criminal record, Sirius was probably ruined. Perhaps he had a chance to turn things around? He had actually appeared in front of him once again and even became the partner of their company!
Right now, the most important thing for him was to quickly find out the other party’s background. Only then would it be easy to get things done!
How could Sirius and Zhao Youlin not understand what Zhao Youming was thinking in his heart? They smiled. Zhao Youlin was the first to speak up. “You two have been separated for so long. You don’t know what Sirius is doing now, do you? He is so amazing now. He’s the vice president of The Blake group, and he has several ways to export to the outside world. If our Zhao group can really cooperate with him, Chief Zhao should be aware of the profits that we can possibly make in the next few years, right? Although I’m friends with Siris, the company’s business is business. For the past few days, I’ve been worrying about how to persuade Siris to agree to cooperate with our Zhao Group. But coincidentally, the two of you are classmates from the same school. With such a good relationship, you can persuade him. Perhaps he will agree.”
When Zhao Youlin said this, Zhao Youming’s expression froze again. He was certain that Zhao Youlin already knew about the grudge between him and this person. The reason why she said this was purely to humiliate him!
The smile on Zhao Youming’s lips had already frozen. However, he had no choice but to put on a happy and helpless expression. “Cousin, you’re too modest. You managed to convince him to attend our Zhao family’s anniversary celebration. You two must be rather close. I’m simply acquainted. I won’t cause any more trouble for you here.”
Acquaintances... Zhao Youlin smiled, but didn’t say anything. She only stared at Zhao Youming closely, as if she was savoring the meaning behind his words.
Just like before, wherever Zhao Youlin and the others went, they became the focus of the entire banquet. After hearing the conversation between Zhao Youlin and the others... someone in the crowd suddenly shouted, “Blake, is it that Blake?”
