"Sir, you must know that the selling price and the buying price, of course, are not the same. If your gold bars were bought here, they would naturally have a different price."
The old man's words were very kind, giving a feeling of freshness and calm.
To someone who didn't know the situation, they would surely think this elderly man was a kind person.
But after selling to several houses, how could he not know the prices?
Seeing that Luo Fan was hesitant, the old man continued to persuade him: "Mr. Luo, the price we're offering is already very high. If you go elsewhere, you surely won't get such a good deal."
Half an hour later, Luo Fan left the bank somewhat upset. Although his card now had several hundred thousand more, he still felt unsatisfied.
"Damned old man! What a black heart you have. If I weren't in a hurry to sell, you wouldn't have swindled me like this."
Recalling how, after so much insistence, the old man had only raised the price by ten yuan and still seemed pained, Luo Fan really wanted to hit him.
"A box of gold bars, I sold them all. Now my card has several million more. It's time to do something."
"Buy a house?"
"Buy a car?"
"It seems both are possible!"
With this unexpected fortune, Luo Fan began thinking about treating himself to some luxuries.
Just then, his phone rang.
Seeing the familiar name on the screen, Luo Fan got excited. It was his best friend from university.
"Hello? Hey, fat guy! What's got you calling me today?"
"Well, I was thinking of you and wanted to say hello."
"Thinking of me? I don't believe you! If I were a woman and you said you missed me, maybe I'd believe you. But like this, not a chance."
"You're still so direct. Well, the truth is, I'm calling to invite you to our graduation reunion this weekend."
"Reunion? What's the point of going?"
Upon hearing "reunion," Luo Fan lost interest.
During university, his living conditions were very poor. He dressed and ate simply, and his character was introverted and somewhat insecure. He didn't have many friends, and few valued him. The fat guy was practically his only friend.
"I knew you'd say that, but this time you have to go, no choice."
"Oh, and why would I have to go?"
"Because Su Xiaowan is going too."
Su Xiaowan?
That name hadn't appeared in his mind in a long time.
Hearing it again, many memories began to surface in Luo Fan's mind.
It was said that Su Xiaowan's family had financial difficulties, and someone else had financed her education.
But she was very beautiful, known as the school's flower, and a top student. She stood out in her class and in the university.
It was unknown how many had tried to court her, but all had failed.
Many spent sleepless nights thinking about Su Xiaowan, and Luo Fan was one of them.
Back then, he dreamed of marrying her. If he succeeded, he felt his life would have been worth it.
Originally, he thought he would never see her again. He didn't expect fate to be so kind, and for her to also attend the reunion.
If it had been the Luo Fan from just recently, he wouldn't even have considered going, due to his insecurity.
But now things were different. With his special ability and several million in his account, he felt he had enough reason to be confident.
"Is it true? Is Su Xiaowan really going?"
Luo Fan, somewhat uncertain, asked again.
"Of course, this is totally true. As your friend, do you think I don't know your feelings? Your crush will be there. Now it's up to you to seize the opportunity."
"Okay! I'll go to the reunion. But when I get there, I want to surprise everyone."
"Perfect, then I'll wait to see your show."
After hanging up, Luo Fan was still excited.
"Finally, I'm going to see my goddess!"
"Su Xiaowan, this time I'll make you look at me with different eyes."
"What should I do now?"
"I know! Buy designer clothes and a car. I won't let anyone look down on me."
...
Li Yun had no idea that Luo Fan was excitedly preparing to make an appearance at the reunion, intending to give a big surprise.
Even if he knew, it wouldn't matter to him.
To Li Yun, Luo Fan was just a person with no real skills who had had some luck. He had no way of competing with him, and if he wanted, he could crush him at any time.
Time passed quickly, and Sunday afternoon arrived.
Li Yun was already ready to attend the reunion with Su Xiaowan.
When he saw her, his eyes lit up.
That day, Su Xiaowan wore a blue dress with light makeup that highlighted her natural beauty.
Compared to those who wear heavy makeup, Li Yun preferred a simple look.
Besides, Su Xiaowan was already very attractive by nature. Although she wasn't dazzlingly beautiful, she was still hard to ignore. That's why Li Yun had kept her close.
"Xiaowan, you look beautiful."
Li Yun couldn't help but praise her.
"Really?"
"It's just that President Li is flattering me too much."
Su Xiaowan modestly fixed a lock of hair.
She knew that, compared to Gu Yanran, another woman close to Li Yun, she was several levels below.
However, she had no ambitions. As long as Li Yun treated her and her family well, she was satisfied.
"That's what I like about you. By the way, where will the reunion be?"
"At the Haoting Hotel."
Haoting Hotel?
Li Yun hadn't heard of that place, probably just an unknown hotel.
Taking Su Xiaowan by the arm, he got into his Rolls-Royce and gave the driver directions. Soon, the car headed towards the hotel.
"President Li, it's just a reunion. There's no need for something so extravagant."
Seeing two Range Rovers ahead clearing the way and several bodyguards behind, Su Xiaowan felt somewhat nervous.
It was more of a display of power than a casual visit.
"You're my woman. Today, I want everyone to see that you live a life of luxury.
