Starting out as a drug dealer in 1988

"Mouse, you're here!"

Zhao Wenhao was waiting in front of the gate of Xuanzhou Normal College.

Suddenly, a fat man suddenly picked him up from behind. His greasy fat body tightly squeezed Zhao Wenhao's breathing space.

"Fatty Yan, can't you let me breathe? Hurry up and put me down."

Zhao Wenhao struggled hard to break free from Yan Bin's arms and finally escaped from his clutches.

After visiting the new equipment at the Xuanzhou Food Processing Factory, Zhao Wenhao declined Xiang Mingyu's request for dinner and came here directly.

It has been a long time since I last met Yan Bin. As one of his few friends, Zhao Wenhao still misses this fat guy.

"Haozi, you said you would come to see me last time, but I waited for you for more than a month and never saw you." Yan Bin gave him a resentful look.

Zhao Wenhao ignored his performance and acted like a nagging wife. He pushed the fat man away and said, "Brother, I have to support my family. You have enough food and clothing."

Yan Bin didn't take Zhao Wenhao's ridicule seriously at all. He simply put his arm around his shoulder and pulled him along. "Come on, I'll show you around our beautiful campus and then treat you to a nice dinner tonight."

So, under Yan Bin's leadership, the two of them walked around the campus.

That night, after eating and drinking, Yan Bin originally wanted to take Zhao Wenhao to the city for a walk.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao was not very interested.

The main reason he came this time was to visit Fatty, and he also brought Fatty a lot of food purchased from Yangzhou.

So, after dinner, the two of them simply sat by the football field and chatted.

"Haozi, do you know that I met Shen Bingyan some time ago?" Yan Bin said with a smug smile.

Zhao Wenhao couldn't help but think of that cold girl in his mind.

In his impression, during the year they were in the same class in senior high school, it seemed that the two of them had never spoken more than ten sentences to each other.

"Didn't that Bingge say he was admitted to the English Department of Xuanzhou University?" Zhao Wenhao answered casually.

Yan Bin nudged Zhao Wenhao with his shoulder. "Why are you so cold? He's just not talkative. Last time we met, he even smiled at me."

Fatty Yan seemed to yearn for that brief yet beautiful memory. His eyes gleamed as he gazed into the distant darkness. It was as if, within that darkness, a beautiful woman was walking slowly toward him.

"Hey, wake up. It's still early to go to bed. Don't dream." Zhao Wenhao ruthlessly interrupted Fatty Yan's fantasy and brought him back to reality.

Yan Bin glanced at her sadly, "If I can't have it, can't I still have a hope?"

"If you have the guts, just go after her." Zhao Wenhao didn't care about his complaints. "You're all from Xuanzhou. As the saying goes, those who are close to the water get the moon first. Go find her tomorrow, treat her to a meal, and get closer to her first."

Yan Bin was excited. "Is that okay? What if they ignore me?"

Just after saying this, before Zhao Wenhao could reply, he muttered to himself in frustration: "Forget it, how could anyone possibly look down on someone like me? I should have some self-awareness."

"Women are afraid of men pestering them. Don't be timid, just go for it." Zhao Wenhao encouraged her while secretly laughing. "Besides, even if you can't get her, you won't lose anything. But what if you are her type?"

Fatty Yan's eyes lit up again after being encouraged. "Yeah, you never know. Maybe Shen Bingyan just likes fat guys. I happened to run into her on Guangsha Road the other day. She actually smiled at me and even took the initiative to say hello."

The fat man's mentality suddenly swelled up, as if everything was under control.

"Pfft..."

Zhao Wenhao finally couldn't bear it anymore and laughed out loud.

"Why, it's true." Yan Bin thought Zhao Wenhao didn't believe him, and his face flushed. "At first, I didn't notice her. She saw me first and called me. Unfortunately..."

"I believe it, of course I do." Zhao Wenhao finally stopped laughing and asked seriously, "What's the pity?"

"Unfortunately, there were other people from our dormitory there at the time, and she had classmates there too. We exchanged a few words and then parted ways."

Yan Bin felt a little regretful about his behavior at that time. He thought, if time could be reversed, he would definitely seize the opportunity. Just as Zhao Wenhao said, what if Shen Bingyan liked this type of him?

Zhao Wenhao knew this coward too well: a giant in words but a dwarf in actions.

Even if Shen Bingyan was standing in front of Fatty Yan now, he probably wouldn't have the courage to propose to her.

"Hey, do you remember the last time we had dinner together and met Yang Yue and Liu Hua?" Yan Bin said with a mysterious expression. "You know what? They didn't end up together. It seems that Liu Hua's parents looked down on Yang Yue's family and thought they were not worthy of their son."

A few days ago, Zhao Wenhao happened to meet Yang Yue and felt that she had many unspeakable secrets.

However, the two of them were not very familiar with each other, so Zhao Wenhao didn't feel comfortable asking.

Now after hearing what Yan Bin said, he became suspicious.

"They really talked, but I didn't see them being very close that day." Zhao Wenhao was a little puzzled.

"Hehe, you don't know this." Yan Bin said with a lewd smile, "It was Liu Hua who desperately pursued Yang Yue and promised to help Yang Yue find a formal job in the county.

I don't know what Yang Yue was thinking at the time, but after Liu Hua told his family about it, they flatly refused. Liu Hua's father was the director of the Construction Bureau, and of course he looked down on Yang Yue, who came from a rural background, so how could he possibly agree to this?

Zhao Wenhao shook his head, somewhat puzzled.

"From what you're saying, Yang Yue kicked Liu Hua out because she couldn't find a formal job? Or, did Liu Hua really listen to his family and stop bothering Yang Yue?"

"Then I don't know. I just heard it from other classmates." Yan Bin said again in a lewd tone, "Anyway, I know Yang Yue is single now. Do you think she would agree if I pursue her now?"

"Fatty, weren't you just dreaming about your future with Shen Bingyan? How did you change so quickly and plan to pursue Yang Yue again? I told you you're fat, and you're still panting!"

Zhao Wenhao glared at the fat man unhappily.

Of course, he also knew that Yan Bin was just talking.

If he really wants to move, he will only be able to run if there are two tigers chasing him from behind.

Shen Bingyan and Yang Yue were the two most beautiful girls on campus back then, and countless boys had admired them, including Yan Bin and, in the past, Zhao Wenhao.

Unfortunately, Zhao Wenhao has become a different soul now.

Right now, he was more focused on how to make money. He didn't really think too much about other things.
