Reborn in the Great Northern Wilderness in 1982, I farmed and hunted to support my whole family.

Chapter 173 Class Reunion

Standing next to Zhang Wei was a tall, handsome man who had his arm around her waist and was looking at Li Mu with a provocative expression.

Li Mu looked at Zhang Wei and felt a surge of emotion.

Zhang Wei was the most beautiful girl in their class. She was not only beautiful but also academically excellent, and was the goddess in the hearts of many boys.

It's just that her face didn't fit Li Mu's aesthetic; Tao Yimei's purity was his ideal woman. But undeniably, Zhang Wei was indeed a beauty with many suitors.

Li Mu never expected to run into her here.

He smiled faintly: "Oh, it's Zhang Wei. Long time no see. My friend and I came to sing karaoke, but we didn't expect the place to be so popular. There are no private rooms available."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei immediately perked up: "No private rooms available? That's such a coincidence! We just booked a large private room, but not everyone has arrived yet. Why don't you come with us?"

Before Li Mu could speak, the man beside her shouted, "What? Let them come with us? Weiwei, are you kidding me? We specially booked this large private room to celebrate our anniversary."

Zhang Wei glared at him: "Keep your voice down! Li Mu is my high school classmate. It's not easy to run into him, so what's wrong with singing a song together? Besides, it's more lively with more people."

Li Jianjun nudged Li Mu with his elbow: "Brother Mu, let's go! We don't have any private rooms available."

Li Mu looked at Zhang Wei, feeling somewhat emotional, but he didn't want to cause a conflict with the man beside Zhang Wei over this matter.

He thought for a moment and said, "Never mind, Zhang Wei, thank you for your kindness. We won't bother you any longer, let's go somewhere else."

Zhang Wei immediately became anxious: "Li Mu, don't be so polite. We're all old classmates, it's fate that we met. Besides, we won't bother you, let's just sing a few songs and catch up."

Upon hearing this, the man next to her immediately became displeased: "Weiwei, what's wrong with you? Why are you always thinking of others? We specially booked this large private room."

Zhang Wei ignored him and looked at Li Mu: "Li Mu, don't refuse. It's a rare opportunity to meet, let's get together. All our old classmates are here, and they're all eager to see you."

Looking at Zhang Wei's eager eyes and then at Tian Xiaohu and Li Jianjun's expectant expressions, Li Mu felt a little wavering.

He thought for a moment and said, "Alright then, Zhang Wei, thank you so much for your help. Thank you so much."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Wei immediately smiled and said, "You're welcome, Li Mu. It's great that you could come. Come with me, everyone is waiting."

As she spoke, she took the man's arm and walked towards the private room.

The man beside her looked resentful, but dared not say anything more, his words not covering the three of them.

"Weiwei? Why didn't you mention the classmate who was dressed poorly? Wouldn't that lower our standards?"

Zhang Wei stopped and glared at him: "What did you say? Li Mu is my high school classmate. He's a big businessman now. How is he shabby? If you keep talking nonsense, don't come with me."

Upon hearing this, the man immediately fell silent, not daring to say anything more.

Zhang Wei smiled with satisfaction, then continued to hold the man's arm as they walked towards the private room.

Li Mu and his two companions followed behind, listening to their conversation, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Tian Xiaohu muttered to himself, "Brother Mu, who is this man? Why is he so arrogant?"

Li Mu shook his head: "I don't know, maybe she's Zhang Wei's high school classmate."

Li Jianjun, with a gossipy look on his face, asked, "Brother Mu, wasn't Zhang Wei your suitor before? Now that she has another man by her side, how do you feel?"

Li Mu glared at him: "What nonsense are you talking about? Didn't you like her before? Look at yourself now, still in the mood for jokes. Besides, that was so many years ago, I've long forgotten about it!"

With that, the three quickened their pace and caught up with Zhang Wei and the others.

Upon entering the private room, Li Mu saw a group of familiar faces.

They were all classmates from his previous class, and everyone greeted Li Mu when they saw him.

"Hey, isn't this Li Mu? Long time no see!"

"Li Mu, where are you making your fortune these days? Why don't you contact your old classmates anymore?"

Li Mu responded to everyone's greetings one by one, while Li Jianjun plunged into the crowd and chatted with several male classmates.

When they asked Li Mu about his business, he smiled and gave a brief explanation.

"I didn't do anything, just farmed and stuff in the village."

"Farming? You didn't go into business? I thought you were doing some big business."

The speaker was Chen Hao, a rich kid in the class. His family owned a factory and he always looked down on Li Mu, a kid from the countryside.

Li Mu smiled faintly: "No, I just farm in the countryside and do some vegetable supply. Business is pretty good, enough to support myself."

Chen Hao, holding a pretty girl in his arms, said with a disdainful look, "Vegetable supply? Isn't that just being a vegetable vendor? You call that business?"

Just as Tian Xiaohu and Li Jianjun were about to explain, Li Mu glanced at them and shut his mouth.

Li Mu didn't want to reveal his family's wealth to these people; after all, it's better to keep a low profile than to flaunt one's riches.

He smiled and said, "Yeah, I'm just a vegetable vendor. But it's still better than some people who sponge off their parents."

Upon hearing this, Chen Hao immediately flew into a rage: "What did you say? Dare to say it again!"

Li Mu ignored him and turned to chat with other classmates.

At this moment, Zhang Wei walked over, looked at Li Mu, plopped down next to him, and said with a smile, "Li Mu, your business is doing quite well now. I heard you've even expanded into the city."

"Li Mu, don't take him seriously. Just because his family has some money doesn't mean he's so great."

Li Mu shook his head: "It's okay, I won't take it to heart. We're all old classmates, it's good that we're all together and having fun."

Zhang Wei breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. By the way, Li Mu, how's your business going? I heard from my classmates that your business is quite successful."

"It's alright, I just made a little money from supplying vegetables."

Zhang Wei and the rest of her classmates left the village to work in the south during the reform and opening up period, leaving only Li Mu in the village.

Although they had heard that Li Mu's business was doing well, they didn't know the specifics.

Having seen so much of the glitz and glamour and rampant materialism in the south, when he returned home and saw Li Mu in the cold winter, dressed simply and without any designer clothes, he assumed he was just a small-time vegetable vendor and didn't take him too seriously.

Chen Hao felt a pang of jealousy as Zhang Wei and Li Mu talked, and walked over loudly with a glass of wine in hand: "Come on, let me toast you! You have to have a good drink with me!"

"Okay, Chen Hao, let's have a drink."

Li Mu picked up his wine glass, clinked it with Chen Hao's, and drank it all in one gulp.
