Chapter 797: Chapter 797 Classmate Sentint
The Milky Way Restaurant was a fine dining spot in Nanping City, very upscale indeed. Zhou Dahuo’s decision to dine here ant he was splurging a bit.
Ji Yang grew more appreciative of this Zhou Dahuo. The guy understood the value of spending, although his goal was Ji Yang himself, and he employed so tactics in his approach, he was certainly more adept than other classmates.
“Old classmate, up for a few rounds?” Zhou Dahuo pulled Ji Yang over, inviting him to play mahjong.
“I don’t know how to play this, let’s just chat with everyone.”
“Sure, sure, we rarely get together, everyone’s busy with their own lives. Today we should have a good catch-up.”
One by one, the classmates walked in.
There was so surprise upon seeing Ji Yang; nobody expected that Ji Yang, the most talked-about classmate, would show up today.
“Hey, old classmate, what kind of wind blew you, our busy man, over here?” a female classmate nad Jiang Xiaoli asked with a smile.
Jiang Xiaoli wasn’t considered beautiful, but she was definitely prettier than the average girl, with a distinct charm that made her popular among the boys in the class.
Ji Yang replied with a smile, “Just got ho today and Heizi spotted , then Dahuo called over.”
Zhou Dahuo chuckled, “Now that you’re a leader, you must have a lot on your plate, definitely no ti to hang out with us idlers. By the way, I haven’t asked yet, are you transferred back here?”
Facing everyone’s curious glances, Ji Yang replied with a smile, “Yeah, I’ve been transferred back from South Dian Province.”
“Is it because that place is lagging in developnt, or sothing like that?”
“Not really lagging behind anymore. The developnt pace there is pretty fast now, it’s matched up with our province in all aspects.”
“Sigh, maybe in other places, but here in Nanping, things are complicated. The officials only think about lining their pockets. Just recently, several city leaders were arrested in the anti-corruption drive.”
Zhou Dahuo’s eyes lit up as he looked at Ji Yang, “What’s your role since you’re back? There’s a severe lack of leading officials in Nanping City now. I’ve heard many departnts have leaders who were arrested.”
A classmate nad He Xiaobo interjected, “I heard from my significant other that the corruption case in Nanping City involved too many officials; the top two positions in many departnts are compromised. They brought in so officials from outside, so Ji Yang, were you brought in to refill these positions?”
“He Xiaobo, does your significant other work in the governnt?” Ji Yang asked.
He Xiaobo had a trace of smugness in her tone when she had spoken, signaling that her man had insider information.
She replied with a smile, “Not exactly in the governnt, just a small role at the Water Resources Bureau.”
“Be careful, He Xiaobo. The temptations out there are too strong. I’ve heard that many officials got implicated and into trouble. Make sure he doesn’t get into any mishap.”
“Zhang Xiaocui, what are you talking about? I heard your man almost got into trouble.”
The two female classmates used to clash back in school, and now they were arguing again.
Ji Yang found it amusing and asked Zhang Xiaocui, “What does your man do?”
“Hmph, urban managent, strutting around all day.”
“What are you talking about?”
As the two seed ready to fight again, Zhou Dahuo intervened with a laugh, “Alright, alright, it’s a class reunion today. Let’s not get into that. Those who weren’t involved in the anti-corruption campaign should count themselves lucky; we should congratulate the two.”
Everyone laughed.
Ji Yang remarked, “I didn’t expect Nanping City to be so chaotic.”
“It’s a bit better now, but Ji Yang, even with the anti-corruption asures, so underground forces haven’t been completely dealt with. I hear it’s pretty complicated,” another classmate warned.
“Old Du, you shouldn’t talk nonsense.”
Du Mingwei’s expression changed slightly, and he hastily said, “Right, right, we shouldn’t speak carelessly. We are just common folks; better to live our simple lives.”
Ji Yang suddenly sensed there might be more happening beneath the surface.
Yet, looking at everyone’s deanor, Ji Yang knew he probably wouldn’t get much out of them.
