Chapter 58: Welcome Master Long

"I'm not the chef here." Li Dalong shook his head.

"Oh? Do you also come to participate in the gala?" Dong Guangjun looked at Li Dalong in disbelief.

"I came with a friend of mine." Li Dalong said lightly.

"Oh, so that's how it is." Dong Guangjun looked like he had just realized something.

Zhang Xiaoran had been wondering why Li Dalong would be in such a high-class occasion. Now she finally understood that Li Dalong borrowed the glory of others.

"Come on, sit down, let's have a good chat. We are all old classmates. You and Xiaoran used to be classmates, and sat at the same table. There must be a lot of topics." Dong Guangjun enthusiastically pulled Li Dalong to sit down.

Li Dalong found it strange that he didn't get along well with Dong Guangjun in the past, and there were even some contradictions between them. He soon understood why Dong Guangjun was so enthusiastic.

Dong Guangjun talked about many things in the past and the current situation. He studied abroad directly after only one year in college. He just came back this year and was ready to take over his family's business. His father was a tycoon in a local large textile company with a net worth of hundreds of millions of yuan. He was a standard rich second generation. Meanwhile, Zhang Xiaoran was in her third year at Jinlin Technology University.

"I'm going to marry Xiaoran when she graduates, aren't I? Xiaoran." Dong Guangjun looked at Zhang Xiaoran affectionately.

Zhang Xiaoran had rarely spoken. Honestly, she missed Li Dalong. After all, it was her first love. When they met again, she wanted to keep the memory as precious as possible and not let reality break the last trace of her thoughts.

But she knew that she had to make her stand as she had made her choice in the past.

Back then, she chose to break up with Li Dalong for the sake of the so-called bright future.

"Good love doesn't necessarily mean a beautiful future. Although money can't buy love, it can make my life better. Isn't people pursuing a better life? I believe that my choice is correct." Zhang Xiaoran said in her heart.

Compared with Dong Guangjun and Li Dalong, one was rich and handsome while the other was a poor loser. Many people could make the right choice.

"Well! Dalong, wish us good luck." Zhang Xiaoran said with a smile. But for some unknown reason, when she said this, she felt a trace of loneliness in her heart.

She used to be his first love, but now she was going to marry someone else.

Perhaps many people had experienced such a thing before.

Li Dalong was emotionally calm. For a person he once loved, he only hoped that she would live well. Zhang Xiaoran's decision was according to what she wanted. Since it was her choice, Li Dalong naturally had only support and blessings.

"I wish you all the best," Li Dalong said from the bottom of his heart.

Dong Guangjun looked at Li Dalong proudly like a victorious roaster. His family background, background, and education were far superior to Li Dalong's. Now that he had won over all his former women, he felt a sense of superiority.

"Dalong! Why are you here? You asked me to get some pastries, but ran away! Hmph!"

At this time, Yu Jingrui walked to Li Dalong with two plates of pastries and said coquettishly.

Dong Guangjun was stunned after seeing that her feminine coquettish look. Zhang Xiaoran was pretty but was still young and a little immature. Yu Jingrui, on the other hand, had an independent and self-confident temperament, which was more mature and female flavor.

"Damn, isn't it the guy's new girlfriend? This poor guy has such fortune with women!" Dong Guangjun's inner advantage that he had just built up suddenly shook.

"Oh, I met two old classmates, so I chatted a little longer." Li Dalong explained a few words and then introduced them to Yu Jingrui.

"Hello, my name is Yu Jingrui, and I'm a... friend of Li Dalong." Yu Jingrui glanced at Li Dalong and said. She had yet admitted to becoming Li Dalong's girlfriend.

"It's just a friend." Dong Guangjun concluded in his mind, but there was still some jealousy in his eyes when he looked at Li Dalong.

Zhang Xiaoran glanced at Yu Jingrui with some jealousy. She sighed in her mind, "Is this your new girlfriend? Can you control her with your ability? People should know their self-knowledge so that they can get the life they want!"

At this time, many rich people in the lobby had already begun to enter, and more and more people joined. Many younger generations also gathered together.

"Hey, it's Mr. Dong! What a coincidence!" Several young masters saw Dong Guangjun and came over to greet him.

"Hey, it's Mr. Hua and Mr. Qi. Long time no see!" Dong Guangjun also greeted them with a smile.

The people who came were sons of big bosses and wealthy people. They usually played in the same circle. It could be seen that these people all showed respect for Dong Guangjun. They called him Bro, which earned Dong Guangjun a lot of esteem.

"This is Mr. Hua of Dongheng Machinery!"

"This is Mr. Qi from Qingguang Electronic!"

...

"This is my girlfriend. She's still in college!"

"This is my high school classmate, he..." Dong Guangjun deliberately paused when he introduced Li Dalong.

"I'm running a small restaurant now," Li Dalong said casually.

"Huh? Which restaurant? I know Mr. Xu from the Prosperity Restaurant. That's a five-star restaurant." Some people thought Li Dalong was one of the rich man's, so they asked enthusiastically.

"My restaurant is not big, probably only seven or eight employees." Li Dalong didn't want to associate with these rich men's sons, so he didn't disclose the name of his restaurant.

Upon hearing, several childes' faces turned cold. It turned out to be a hillbilly. Instantly, their interest in Li Dalong was greatly reduced.

The atmosphere at the scene also changed. Several rich men's sons isolated Li Dalong from the circle and talked with Dong Guangjun warmly.

Dong Guangjun enjoyed being surrounded by people. When he occasionally glanced at the lonely Li Dalong in the corner, he felt a sense of pride in his heart: So what if you have a beautiful girlfriend? This world still depends on background and strength!

Zhang Xiaoran looked at Dong Guangjun, who was surrounded by the crowd. She then looked at Li Dalong, who was lonely. The original thoughts in her mind were completely shattered, and she insisted on her choice: This is the man I want, and this is the life I want. I will never regret my choice.

"Dalong, why don't we go?" Yu Jingrui could not help but ask when she saw the subtle change in the atmosphere.

Li Dalong shook his head, showing that he never bothered.

"Ladies and gentlemen! May I have your attention please. Our conference for the Elixir of Life is about to begin. Please take a seat amongst the guests! Master Long, are you here? Master Long! Please welcome Master Long to the stage!"

At this moment, on the center booth of the exhibition, a host shouted with a microphone.

His remark attracted the attention of all the people present. They all turned their eyes to the center booth of the exhibition. Everyone came here because of the conference of the Elixir of Life. They, including Dong Guangjun, Zhang Xiaoran and the others, were also curious about the mysterious Master Long and wanted to see the person.

Everyone waited quietly, and only one person slowly rose to his feet.

Astonishingly, it was Li Dalong!
