Ch22.1 - A Momentous Scene
Huo YeRui's birthday party was being held in a high-end buffet restaurant in this mall. He had reserved half the restaurant all in one go. Although such actions weren't enough to label him as anything more than a small-time nouveau riche, it was certainly impressive enough to any local high school student. Many classmates that weren't invited could only eat cake at home while they nursed their jealousy.
However, even the people invited were surprised when they arrived at the restaurant. Huo YeRui, who usually didn't show the mountain and didn't reveal the water, wasn't just someone liberal with their money, but also someone who had profound social connections. Apart from No. 12 students, there were also many celebrities from other schools in the restaurant.
These influential men and women were so famous, that even a deaf student would've known their names.
Some of these names included but were not limited to: Luo RunWei and You NiNi of No. 9 High School, two students who were in their second year of high school. They were famous for their good looks and for winning the National Programming Award, defeating several college students in the competition. Also present was Ke MuZi, a second-generation who had stayed in high school until 19 and was famous for driving a sports car to school.

"Huo YeRui knows so many people." Xu Yao, an otaku whose circle of friends stopped at his school's top bookworm, was a bit tongue-tied. Whispering, he said: "I heard that the son of the director of the Municipal Education Bureau is also in here somewhere."
Looking around, Lin Qian thought back to his last life. At that time, he and Xu Yao had already been punished for fighting and became outcasts in their class. They hadn't been invited to any sort of event, let alone this fancy birthday party. They only heard how grand the occasion had been afterward. But now, he was witnessing things firsthand, and could now see what kind of people Huo YeRui had invited.
Like Xu Yao, these famous figures were still young and ignorant. But Lin Qian knew that in the future, more than a decade later, most of these people become very successful in their careers, and a few even became top players in their respective industries.
For example, Ke MuZi of No. 1 High School was the first to triumph by starting his own successful business. Shortly before Lin Qian and Zheng PingQing were reborn, his broadcast company even got listed on the NASDAQ.
Huo YeRui's future in his last life was also closely related to these people.
Lin Qian carefully recalled the Huo YeRui in his last life. After getting into Capital University, his abilities didn't make him stand out. At least, Lin Qian never heard anything worthy of praise through the grapevine. However, when looking at the pure facts, Huo YeRui was indeed the one that became the most successful in their class. The main reason for this lied in his huge network of people.
Huo YeRui's abilities were average, but he knew how to take advantage of his resources. Mentioning one famous person to another, he continuously grew his circle of friends. In the end, he lived in a villa and drove a sports car. Apparently, his wife was a famous goddess in his circle.

Lin Qian had been very annoyed with Huo YeRui, so when he left high school, he had vigorously avoided any news related to him. But Huo YeRui had been very proactive when it came to his fellow classmates. He would always be an organizer in things like class reunions and meetups. When he got married, he also liked inviting them to vacations. In his last life, many of his classmates would often talk about Huo YeRui, so in the end, even Lin Qian's circle of friends had Huo YeRui's wedding pictures on their phones.
