"Cough cough, well, Xie Fang, that's not what I meant."
Seeing Xie Fang getting more and more agitated, Lin Chen felt truly helpless.
As a cultivator, and someone who had previously been imprisoned and looked down upon, how could he not know that Xie Fang was deliberately insulting him now?
But no matter what, they had been classmates for three years of high school, and he didn't want to escalate the conflict, which was why he had tolerated it time and time again.
"If not this meaning, then what meaning?"
"Do you still want to continue muddle along and be a former convict in the eyes of others for your entire life?"
Xie Fang looked at Lin Chen and stood up directly from her seat.
Her demeanor was so much like a good woman who only cared about her classmates!
Especially now, combined with her tone, expression, and actions, it made several surrounding passengers involuntarily give her a thumbs-up.
Good heavens, a classmate like this is truly someone worth having!
"Uh, well, no, actually, I do have a job."
"Don't get so worked up."
Seeing Xie Fang like this, Lin Chen could only sigh and prepare to come clean.
He knew very well that Xie Fang, while appearing to be concerned about him, was actually mocking him.
But now, with his current status, was it that easy to be mocked?
Just a casual revelation would be enough to shut Xie Fang up, wouldn't it?
"Oh? You have a job? Then what exactly are you doing?"
"Between old classmates, what is there to hide?"
"Wait, you're not doing some illegal work again, are you, that's why you've been so secretive and unwilling to tell me?"
Seeing Lin Chen now stammering and saying he had a job, Xie Fang's spirits immediately lifted.
At this moment, Xie Fang had no good feelings towards Lin Chen, so naturally, she would mock him as much as she could. Only by doing so could she satisfy her vanity.
If Lin Chen truly had a good job, why would he have said earlier that he was unemployed?
The only possibility was that Lin Chen's current job was unsavory, and he was too embarrassed to say it!
But thinking about it, Lin Chen was a former convict after all, so what kind of good job could he find?
It was probably some work on the fringes of illegal activities!
Now that there were so many passengers on the plane, as long as Lin Chen said a word of truth, she would immediately call the police!
And then have him arrested again, making this pauper spend a few more years in prison, otherwise, her resentment would not be appeased!
"No, no, I just opened a company with a friend."
"So I don't need to work now."
"Thank you for your kindness."
Lin Chen replied to Xie Fang's question lightly.
At this point, he knew Xie Fang's intentions towards him and did not want any further interaction with her in the future.
He just wanted to get rid of her as soon as possible.
"Oh? You opened a company? What kind of company?"
"Is it in Zhe Province or in Beichuan?"
Upon hearing that Lin Chen had opened a company, Xie Fang became interested.
In recent years, fraud had been rampant. Lin Chen had just been released from prison, and his family had been poor before. What capital did he have to open a company?
There must be some unspeakable secret!
Thinking of this, Xie Fang became even more excited.
In a few days, it would be their high school class reunion. If she could send Lin Chen back to prison here, then at the class reunion, she would have bragging rights!
"Hehehe, in Zhe Province, Ru Shuang Group."
At this moment, the smile on Lin Chen's face disappeared, replaced by a look of coldness.
What he had originally imagined as classmate affection had turned into a large-scale scene of her mocking him, which truly extinguished the good mood he had just felt.
"Pfft?"
"What did you say? Ru Shuang Group?"
However, when Xie Fang heard the name of the company Lin Chen mentioned, she couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Heaven knows, who in Zhe Province wouldn't know about Ru Shuang Group now?
This was originally a company of the Qiu family, but with the recent development of Qiu Hanying and the large-scale acquisition of other industries, it had directly become one of the top groups in Zhe Province.
Even some top aristocratic families could not compare to Ru Shuang Group!
But now Lin Chen claimed that this company was opened by him and his friend. This was simply bragging without even drawing a draft!
Ru Shuang Group had been established for several years now.
If time was calculated, when Ru Shuang Group was founded, Lin Chen was still in prison!
How could he have opened a company with friends?
As expected, Lin Chen was just trying to regain face in front of her and was deliberately bragging!
But even if she had been too harsh just now and hurt his self-esteem, there was no need to make up such a lie to deal with her, right?
A shareholder of Ru Shuang Group, wasn't that too fake?
It only proved that Lin Chen was a complete idiot! He didn't even have the most basic common sense!
As long as he had a decent social circle in Zhe Province, he would know about the current development of Ru Shuang Group.
He would also know about the time Ru Shuang Group was founded.
But Lin Chen was still here saying he was a shareholder of Ru Shuang Group.
This could only mean that he knew nothing!
"Lin Chen, I didn't hear you clearly. You just said, Ru Shuang Group, right?"
"Ru Shuang Group in Zhe Province?"
"You're saying the friend you opened the company with is none other than Chairman Qiu Hanying?"
However, to prevent Lin Chen from changing his story later, Xie Fang deliberately raised her voice and repeatedly questioned him.
She knew that with her current voice, the surrounding passengers would definitely hear her.
As long as everyone testified for her later, even if Lin Chen wanted to change his story afterward, he would have no opportunity to do so!
In a public place like this, impersonating a shareholder of Ru Shuang Group, if this were to spread back to Zhe Province, given the personalities of Ru Shuang Group's top executives, they would definitely not let Lin Chen off easily!
She had personally witnessed how Ru Shuang Group's top executives treated fraudsters before.
As long as Lin Chen fell into their hands and was tortured by their methods, even imprisonment would be a form of enjoyment!
After all, most of Ru Shuang Group's top executives now were those young masters from the He family!
These young masters, who had been idle in their families, were most skilled at torturing people!
