Chapter 521

Entering the private dining room, Qi Tongwei naturally took the seat of honor next to the deputy class monitor, Chen Yang. Compliments flowed freely, and guests swarmed in, one after another, to toast him and curry favor. This class reunion had one protagonist and four supporting characters, all from Dongshan. Even Chen Yang’s current position was merely a deputy section-level post, involving core duties but still lacking real power. She would need at least another two years to secure a full section-level position. This wasn't because the Chen family lacked the influence, but rather due to Chen Yanshi’s method of upbringing—a classic choice for families of status, where one seeks stability and reputation, keeping a low profile in life while maintaining a high profile in one's work. In truth, most of the class didn't particularly care for Chen Yang. Having spent four years together in university, everyone had long since seen through her character; that arrogance radiating from her very bones was impossible to ignore. Back in their school days, when people felt that their fate was in their own hands, they had been dismissive of her. Now that they had entered society and grasped the reality of things, they understood even more that for someone like Chen Yang, fawning was useless.
