Chapter 1272: Alumni Event (3)
“Well, if you had a way to deal with it, would the Zhai family business end up going bankrupt?” the man continued to ask. He was undeterred by Zhai Yunsheng’s attitude and response.
Zhai Yunsheng hooked his lips and replied: “It’s my own family business declaring bankruptcy and undergoing liquidation. What has this got to do with you? Why are you so concerned about my affairs? And who told you that declaring bankruptcy means failure? Haven’t you heard of learning from failure?” Zhai Yunsheng replied arrogantly.
This response made people feel quite uncomfortable. Despite the Zhai family business collapsing, Zhai Yunsheng still dared to act so arrogantly.
“So are you preparing any counter moves? When are we going to see these moves? Either way, I’m looking forward to seeing them. After all, we’re from the same cohort. I can’t bear to see you so down and out,” the man replied. Despite sounding concerned, the man was actually mocking Zhai Yunsheng.
“Well, it won’t take long for you to see my counter move,” Zhai Yunsheng replied indifferently.
“Then we will be waiting!”
When the host sensed that the atmosphere was not right, he hurriedly gestured to Jian Yiling to return to her seat before he invited another distinguished alumni representative to speak on stage.
When the speeches came to an end, the crowd exited the auditorium.
Several people rushed over to Jian Yiling in order to speak with her.
Perhaps it was unintentional but all of them ignored Zhai Yunsheng’s presence when they were talking around Jian Yiling. They all treated him like air.
…
“Dean Jian, I heard that you were planning to open another branch in Continent Y. If you need any building materials or resources, feel free to contact me.”
“Dean Jian, when will the recruitment for that branch begin? I have a niece who is a medical student. I wanted to ask if she can get the opportunity to intern at that branch.”
“I heard that you’ve collaborated with XDL to release a new cosmetic. Could you reveal anything about that product to us?”
Despite the Zhai family’s bankruptcy, Jian Yiling’s current career was going strong. In fact, even before the Zhai family got declared bankrupt, they weren’t necessarily doing better than Lahaisen Hospital.
However, Jian Yiling was not interested in speaking with these people. She instead took Zhai Yunsheng’s arm and walked away with him.
When they saw Jian Yiling leave with Zhai Yunsheng, the faces of the few people who were eagerly speaking to Jian Yiling immediately changed.
“Who do they think they are? Her husband’s already bankrupt. Why are they still acting high and mighty?”
“I get Jian Yiling acting like that. But why is Zhai Yunsheng still acting that way? Doesn’t he know his family is bankrupt?”
“What a loser. Nothing is going to change. There will be many more opportunities to mock him.”

Qin Chuan appeared at a Loyalty Alliance meeting. Originally, only Zhai Yunsheng and a few core members were meant to be at the round table.
The corners of Zhai Yunsheng’s mouth held a smile but he was not too surprised by Qin Chuan’s appearance.
“Mr. Qu, it looks like you and Mr. Qin have gotten along well during the two years of my absence,” Zhai Yunsheng commented with a smirk on his face.
Upon hearing this, the slightly fat old man who was named lowered his head sheepishly. He did not dare to look directly at Zhai Yunsheng.
During the two years when Zhai Yunsheng was ill and unable to manage the affairs of the Loyalty League, Qin Chuan began to infiltrate into the Loyalty Alliance.
As Qin Chuan had memories of his previous life, he remembered his experience of defeating the Zhai family in the past. Therefore, his knowledge and understanding of the Loyalty Alliance were no less than that of Zhai Yunsheng.
