I'm back in 1990

Chapter 763: Someone Invited Me for Drinks

That evening, Wei Wan waited for her college classmate Li Yun at a high-end bar near Lujiazui. Wei Wan would not have come here if Li Yun hadn't booked it.

However, Wei Wan arrived at the agreed time, but the person who had arranged to meet her had not yet arrived.

She drank the lemonade that Witt handed her, looking around as she drank.

It was springtime, and although the evening air was slightly cool, all the booths under the eaves outside the bar were full. If Li Yun hadn't made a reservation in advance, Wei Wan wouldn't have had a seat when she arrived.

Before I had even finished my glass of water, Li Yun appeared.

Wei Wan raised a hand and gestured to her: "Here!"

Upon seeing Wei Wan, Li Yun walked over with an apologetic expression.

"I'm so sorry, just as I was about to leave, my boss asked me for more data." Li Yun currently works as an analyst at a venture capital firm, where her main tasks include collecting data on startups, being responsible for business modeling, and writing research reports.

Wei Wan feigned composure and replied, "It's okay. While you were away, I could finally enjoy looking at some handsome guys in peace!"

"Hey! You lecherous woman!" Li Yun laughed, wanting to playfully fight with Wei Wan.

Wei Wan quickly stepped in to stop them, saying, "Hey, hey, this is a quiet bar, don't cause trouble. If they kick us out, we'll be so embarrassed!"

Li Yun smiled and sat down: "What would you like to drink? It's on me tonight, don't be shy!"

Wei Wan looked her old classmate up and down and said, "Tsk tsk tsk! As expected of someone who works in venture capital, he's learned to spend money like water!" Before Li Yun arrived, Wei Wan had studied the bar's drink menu, and the prices made even this high-level white-collar worker gasp.

Li Yun said, half boasting and half complaining, "Earning a lot of money also means immense pressure! How can you relieve stress if you don't spend the money you earn?"

Now, let's get back to the main topic.

After ordering drinks, Li Yun handed Wei Wan a delicate little handbag: "A gift for you!"

Wei Wan didn't stand on ceremony and took it without hesitation, asking, "What is it?"

After clearly seeing the double C logo on the bag, Wei Wan exclaimed in surprise, "Wow! A Chanel bag!"

She immediately took out the small bag from inside and tried it on with obvious delight, saying repeatedly, "I love it so much! How did you know I liked this bag?"

Li Yun feigned disdain and said, "Tch! Someone's really forgetful. You've forgotten about going shopping with me last month?"

Wei Wan stood up and moved closer to Li Yun, saying, "Thank you, darling!"

Li Yun waved her hand: "I should thank you! Thank you for taking care of my sister!"

Wei Wan said dismissively, "Hey! Why are you taking this so seriously? Besides, it's not even done yet! Our big boss is the same; I don't understand what he's trying to do." Wei Wan also made a small complaint.

Li Yun comforted Wei Wan, "Just do your best. To be honest, I've inquired around, and your boss is impeccable in his private life, so I'm not worried about those things. I'm just worried that he might not like my sister!"

Immediately afterwards, Li Yun seized the opportunity to ask, "Hey! Could you introduce me to your boss? I'd like to talk to him about investment and have him become our company's LP."

Upon hearing this, Wei Wan was so startled that she quickly shoved the Chanel bag and tote bag into Li Yun's hands: "I knew there's no such thing as a free lunch!"

Li Yun reached out and blocked her hand again: "What are you doing! Look how scared you are? I said it was a gift for you, so just take it without worry. I just received my share of the profits."

Seeing this, Wei Wan didn't insist on returning it, but still said, "How could you even think of that? Don't you know what our boss does? When he was doing venture capital, your company didn't even exist! You actually want our boss to be your company's LP? You're really asking for trouble!"

"Alright, alright, let's not talk about this anymore, okay?" Li Yun was just trying her luck, even if it was a long shot. She knew that the chances were extremely slim, and that the richest man was not someone like her who could possibly get close to him.

Just then, Huang Xiaochuan was also brought to this bar by Zhang Gaolei.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't rush in. Instead, he stood outside and looked around the bar. All the shops along the street were lit up with neon lights, making the whole street look exceptionally bustling.

Huang Xiaochuan frowned and asked, "Old Zhang, how did you find this place?"

The two were having dinner together tonight. They had originally invited Chen Zhe as well, but Chen Zhe was busy revising a report and declined Zhang Gaolei's invitation. (The latest chapter of [the novel] has been updated; come to Cola Novels to follow the updates!)

After their first meal, Zhang Gaolei was still not quite done, so he brought Huang Xiaochuan here to have a second round.

Seeing that Zhang Gaolei was in such high spirits, Huang Xiaochuan didn't want to spoil his fun, so he followed him here.

Zhang Gaolei then seized the opportunity to scold, "Xiao Chuan, I'm not trying to be mean, but people who know you know your age. If they didn't, they'd think you were in your sixties or seventies. You're still a young person, okay? Young people should live like young people, otherwise you'll age faster, you know that?"

He then asked, "Don't tell me you've never been to a place like this before?"

Huang Xiaochuan smiled slightly. He had never been to a place like this in his life, but he had been to such places quite often in his past life! Many fleeting romances began in places like this.

Zhang Gaolei seemed to be a regular here. He went straight to a booth and sat down. Witt immediately came up to him with a smile and asked, "Mr. Zhang, the usual?"

Zhang Gaolei first asked Huang Xiaochuan, "What would you like to drink?"

Huang Xiaochuan casually said, "You decide what to do!"

Zhang Gaolei then said to Witt, "Give me extra ice for the 30-year-old Highland Knight whisky!"

Witt bowed slightly: "Okay, Mr. Zhang, please wait a moment!"

Wei Wan, who was drinking and chatting with Li Yun, suddenly changed her expression: "No way?"

Li Yun was taken aback for a moment, then quickly asked, "What's wrong?"

When Wei Wan saw her boss Gao Song, she immediately guessed that the big boss must be here too, because she knew that wherever the big boss's closest confidant was, the big boss would most likely be there as well.

While Gao Song wasn't looking at her, she quickly scanned the bar and, sure enough, spotted the big boss.

She immediately lowered her body to avoid Gao Song's gaze.

"What's wrong?" Li Yun asked anxiously.

"Shh!" Wei Wan put a finger to her lips.

Then he whispered to Li Yun, "I saw our big boss!"

Li Yun was startled and immediately began searching everywhere: "Where is it?"

Wei Wan quickly pulled her back: "Stop shaking your head, calm down!"

Li Yun mocked Wei Wan: "Look how scared you are. This is your private time, okay?"

She pressed on, "Which one is it?"

Wei Wan pointed to where Huang Xiaochuan was, "That tall guy."

"Wow! He's so much more handsome in person than in photos!" Li Yun's eyes lit up immediately when she saw Huang Xiaochuan's face clearly!

Suddenly, Li Yun had an idea: she decided to invite that richest man for a drink! This was also the reason why she had drunk a little tonight and was becoming bolder; if she were sober, she would never have done this.

She told Wei Wan her idea, which immediately sobered Wei Wan up.

"I'm not going to go crazy with you anymore, I'd better leave quickly!" Afraid of getting into trouble, Wei Wan quickly let her hair down to cover her face, got up, and left to avoid Gao Song's gaze!

"Tch!" Li Yun scoffed at her college classmate's last-minute desertion.

Just as Huang Xiaochuan and Zhang Gaolei were drinking and chatting, Witt walked over and put down two glasses of whiskey.

Then, leaning closer to Huang Xiaochuan, she whispered, "Sir, this is a gift from that long-haired lady over there to you and your friend!"

Huang Xiaochuan sat up straight and looked in the direction Witte was pointing. He saw a woman with a neat long ponytail meet his gaze, and she even raised her wine glass!

Out of politeness, Huang Xiaochuan gave a slight nod in response, but he never looked at the wine that was delivered a second time.

Zhang Gaolei asked him with a mocking expression, "Do you know him?"

Huang Xiaochuan said irritably, "I don't know him!"

"Why would I invite you for drinks if I don't know you?" Zhang Gaolei didn't believe it. He was the only one among the many people who knew Huang Xiaochuan who knew that Zhang Yun had given birth to two illegitimate children for Huang Xiaochuan. Therefore, Huang Xiaochuan's image had long since collapsed in his mind. Of course, he was referring to his private life. In other words, Huang Xiaochuan couldn't read minds, otherwise he would definitely be cursing.

Huang Xiaochuan felt he couldn't stay there any longer, so he stood up and said, "Alright, that's enough for tonight! I'm leaving now! Call me if you need anything!"

After saying that, he left without waiting for Zhang Gaolei's response, and Gao Song, Li Huan and others immediately followed.
