The woman looked at Brantson and was shocked in her heart.
At this time, Brantson's appearance still retains the outline of that year, but his temperament is completely different.
In high school, Brantson was withdrawn and taciturn.
But the Brantson in front of her was so powerful and radiant that he seemed to be able to move the wind and clouds with just a raise of his hand.
He is completely different from the shy boy in her memory.
Brantson looked at this beautiful woman, with a slight ripple in his heart. He smiled and said, "Rubani, long time no see."
Rubani showed a bitter smile on her pretty face and said, "It's been five years since I last saw you on your wedding day."
Brantson narrowed his eyes and sighed, "Yes, five years."
After he was sent away from the Golden City by his father's friends and entered the military battlefield, he basically cut off all contact with the outside world.
Until now, five full years have passed.
But who would have thought that things would change after five years of separation?
At this moment, Rubani said with a face of joy, "Let's go, I will take you to meet other high school classmates."
After that, she led Brantson to the table and introduced him to his old classmates one by one.
Everyone exchanged pleasantries for a while, talking about their current work or trivial matters in life.
At this time, a young man in a suit couldn't help but ask, "Brantson, you disappeared just after you married our most beautiful woman in the Golden City. What have you been doing for so many years?"
His name is Kashaun Price, and he was also Brantson's high school classmate.
Kashaun was a well-known second-generation rich man in his class at that time. His family owned a large-scale coal mine which was worth at least hundreds of millions.
However, Kashaun's net worth back then was worthless compared to Brantson's, so when he was in school, he was always shrouded in Brantson's halo.
From that time on, he was very dissatisfied with Brantson.
But because he couldn't offend Brantson, he suppressed it for a long time.
What made him even more angry was that Rubani, the class beauty he had been crazy about for many years, had always been secretly in love with Brantson!
Even though Brantson had been missing for many years, she had been waiting for him and had never been in love.
Kashaun heard from a female classmate in her class that she went to the temple to burn incense on the first and fifteenth day of every month and prayed to the Buddha to bless Brantson, whose whereabouts were unknown. She was extremely pious.
Kashaun has always wanted to find an opportunity to pursue Rubani, but unexpectedly, Brantson came back again!
Now seeing Brantson again, Kashaun naturally wanted to belittle him in front of Rubani, making him lose face while also venting his own dissatisfaction from years ago.
Brantson didn't take Kashaun seriously. When he saw Kashaun asking about him, he smiled lightly and said, "I have been a soldier for the past few years."
Kashaun said with some surprise, "A soldier? So now you are a colonel?"
Brantson shook his head and said, "No."
Kashaun's face couldn't help but look a little contemptuous, and he sneered, "That's true. Ordinary people who join the army can only become major within five years. But no matter what... five years later, you should also be a lieutenant?”
Brantson denied again, "No."
"No way?"
"Brantson, you have been in the army for five years, are you still a soldier without a rank?"
Kashaun couldn't help laughing and said, "You must be doing too badly. In the past five years, have you gone to the cooking class and been a cook?!"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
In the eyes of everyone, Brantson was so young and not very outstanding at the time. It was understandable that he could not become a colonel, but it would be too miserable to not even become a lieutenant.
It's equivalent to working at a job for five years and not being promoted to management yet, and he is still a low-level clerk.
Therefore, after receiving Brantson's answer, the other students also laughed at him and looked down upon him in their hearts.
If a man is approaching thirty and still doing nothing and accomplishing nothing, how high will his status in society be in the future?
However, how did they know that Brantson was now the Lord of the Northern Territory and an important weapon of the country?
What does the rank of colonel or lieutenant count?
He is already the god of the army!
At this time, Kashaun even mocked with a face full of sarcasm, "By the way, Brantson, you don't know, right? In the five years since you left, your father-in-law's family has also changed his backers. Maybe your wife Murline has been secretly having an affair with someone else, hahaha!"
When Brantson married Murline, although Kashaun was jealous, he did not dare to say a disrespectful word.
But now that the Collins family has been defeated, Brantson is doing nothing and accomplishing nothing, and now he is still known as Murline's husband, Kashaun naturally dislikes him even more.
At this time, Rubani couldn't stand it anymore, frowned, and scolded, "Kashaun, Brantson hasn't come back for five years, why can't you just say a few words?"
"Yes, we are all old classmates. Kashaun, do you need to be like this?"
When Kashaun heard this, he sneered and said, "What? He is a waste. I can't talk about him anymore?"
After saying that, he looked at Brantson and asked sarcastically: "Hey, Brantson, what do you do now that you are back?"
Brantson said calmly, "I have no job."
When Kashaun heard this, he laughed wildly and said, "You are a loser. You have been a soldier for five years and you still haven't got a job. Do you want me to arrange for you to dig coal in my coal mine? Working diligently at the bottom of the well for sixteen hours a day, earning five to six thousand a month is not a problem!"
Brantson sneered and asked with a smile, "Is your coal mine still open?"
"Of course!" Kashaun said with a face full of arrogance, "Let me tell you, the scale of my coal mine has doubled compared to five years ago. My current status is incomparable to a loser like you. Honestly, call me brother Kashaun, I will arrange a coal digging job for you and reward you with a bite of food."
Brantson smiled and asked, "Is your coal mine called Price's Mining?"
Kashaun held his chin high, "That's right! The largest mining company in the Golden City is mine!"
Brantson asked curiously, "I heard that your coal mine will be closed down soon. You don't know that yet, right?"
