Mistaking My Sister-In-Law for My Wife After Getting Drunk!

Chapter 171: Chapter 171 Distinguished Alumni

Just as he got home, Xu Yang's phone started ringing.

He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Gao Lang, his college counselor, calling.

"Teacher Gao," Xu Yang answered the phone.

"Xu Yang, am I disturbing you? Are you busy right now, is it convenient for you to take the call?" Gao Lang said.

"Teacher Gao, why are you being so polite, talking about disturbing me or not? Whether I'm busy or not, if you call me, I'm going to take your call," Xu Yang said.

During university, Xu Yang's grades in his major were quite good, and he had a pretty good relationship with his counselor.

Gao Lang's sudden politeness made him feel quite uncomfortable.

With such an attitude from Gao Lang, he could vaguely guess the reason.

It might be because he had suddenly become a wealthy man.

Of course, Gao Lang must have been partly joking.

After all, Gao Lang knew him well; he definitely wasn't the kind of person who would forget his friends and mentors just because he got rich.

Indeed, Gao Lang's following words confirmed his guess.

"You kid, still the same as ever. I thought becoming a billionaire had changed you," Gao Lang said, reverting to his usual way of speaking with Xu Yang.

He had learned from the class group that Xu Yang had become wealthy and had taken the liberty of doing a little research.

Without looking he wouldn't have known, but when he did, it gave him quite a shock.

Xu Yang was even more incredible than his classmates in the group chat had described.

A billionaire, no less!

And in the future, possibly a multi-billionaire!

"Teacher Gao, no matter what I become, I'm the same in front of you," Xu Yang said.

"You haven't forgotten where you came from, that's great. I'm proud of the achievements you've made," Gao Lang said with satisfaction.

"Teacher Gao, did you call about something?" Xu Yang asked.

"Yes, our school is holding its fiftieth-anniversary celebration in October and will be inviting a group of outstanding alumni to participate. The achievements you've made have put you in the ranks of those being invited. It happens that I'm in charge of this notification task, and I hope you can make it back to attend," Gao Lang explained.

Xu Yang was so outstanding, his achievements so dazzling.

In compiling the list of outstanding alumni, he had reported Xu Yang's name right away.

Naturally, Xu Yang's achievements caught the school leaders' attention and made their eyes widen.

They agreed immediately to invite Xu Yang to the school anniversary.

They even considered Xu Yang as one of the most outstanding alumni.

And they specifically instructed Gao Lang to make sure Xu Yang would come back for the celebration.

"I've become an outstanding alumnus?" Xu Yang was stunned.

He had never considered this possibility.

Unexpectedly, he had become an outstanding alumnus without even realizing it.

Although he had never attended any anniversary events, he knew what an outstanding alumnus was.

In plain terms, these were people who had made a name for themselves in society after graduation.

There were government officials, business leaders or elites, renowned scholars, and so on.

He had not expected to reach this point already.

"Of course, yeah. You have the time, right? Let me tell you, the school leadership gave me a firm order, saying that I must invite you to the anniversary. If you don't come, I'm going to have a hard time," Gao Lang half-joked.

The leadership did indeed issue him a firm order, telling him to find whatever means necessary to ensure Xu Yang would attend the celebration.

As for life being hard, it wasn't the case.

After all, if he had done his best, if Xu Yang really didn't have time and couldn't return to school for the celebration, it would be understandable.

After all, Xu Yang was a billionaire.

As a billionaire, it's quite normal to be busy.

"I'm honored to accept the invitation from the school, and I will attend," Xu Yang naturally wouldn't refuse.

He wasn't busy, as other people were managing the companies he owned.

Attending the school celebration wasn't a problem due to lack of time.

"Good, the school leaders will definitely be pleased with this news," Gao Lang said with a smile.

"Mr. Gao, are you happy?" Xu Yang suddenly asked.

"Of course, I'm happy. You're my student, and you've become successful. By coming back to the celebration, you'd bring honor to my face as well. I want everyone to see that a student I taught has accomplished so much, haha," Gao Lang laughed heartily.

"Mr. Gao, thank you," Xu Yang said.

During four years of college, Gao Lang had taken good care of him.

For many things he didn't know, Gao Lang would tell him and teach him how to handle them.

"Why thank me? I just did what a counselor should do," Gao Lang knew what Xu Yang was referring to, "By the way, I saw in the group chat that you and Zhao Yuxin have registered for marriage, haven't you? Congratulations."

Xu Yang replied with a smile, "Thank you. We haven't held the wedding ceremony yet. I will choose an appropriate time for it, and when I do, I'll invite you. I hope you can attend."

"Sure, I'll be waiting for it," Gao Lang nodded, then added, "Zhao Yuxin was also a student at our school, and she is one of the distinguished alumni invited for this celebration. Make sure you both come back for it."

In truth, with Zhao Yuxin's job, it was impossible for her to be considered a distinguished alumna.

After all, Zhao Yuxin was just a bank clerk, far from meeting the standards of a distinguished alumna.

But who could say anything when her husband was Xu Yang? Having a prominent husband naturally made one a distinguished alumna.

"Sure, I'll attend with her," Xu Yang said.

"Great, send me your address, and I'll mail you the invitations. When the time comes, just bring them with you. I'll also give Zhao Yuxin a call," Gao Lang said.

He had seen in the group chat that a student mentioned Xu Yang and Zhao Yuxin had moved into a villa in Century Garden, but he didn't know the exact number of the villa.

Xu Yang would need to send him the address.

Of course, Xu Yang could also send the address of his company.

Any address where they could receive the invitation would do.

"Alright, I'll send it to you in a bit," Xu Yang said.

"Good, then I won't keep you any longer; you must have lots of work to do. I have other people to notify as well. Goodbye," Gao Lang said.

"Alright, goodbye," Xu Yang replied.

...

That afternoon.

Chen Guanglei arrived at the Jia Sheng Guild.

At this moment, Chen Guanglei had completely lost his former image.

In the past, no matter the occasion, Chen Guanglei always presented himself very tidily, with shiny hair, a fair complexion, and meticulously chosen clothes, all reflective of a young master's style.

But today, Chen Guanglei's hair was disheveled, his eyes were bloodshot, his beard scruffy, and his clothes were wrinkled. His whole demeanor was utterly dejected as if he hadn't woken up from sleep, resembling a downcast young master.

When he entered Zhao Yulu's office and she saw his appearance, she was taken aback, "What brings you here?"

Chen Guanglei sat down opposite Zhao Yulu, somewhat wearily said, "I had nothing to do, just came to see you."

Zhao Yulu asked, "Have you sorted out your issues? Are you okay?"
