Zhang Guoyao was instantly much more cordial upon hearing that Huo Chen had come because of the Zhou Family.
Zhang Yanlin naturally knew what kind of person Zhang Guoyao was, not only rigid but also unsympathetic, disregarding any friendship or familial love.
If he were to ask Zhang Guoyao for a favor, this fellow would likely refuse, but if his eldest son spoke up and mentioned the Zhou Family's face, Zhang Guoyao might just agree.
He immediately followed up, saying, "Huo Chen wants to see you, and I thought, we're old classmates and friends. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so I came along to have a chat and catch up with you.
Guoyao, you've ascended to heaven now, becoming the director of our district. You wouldn't look down on us old classmates, would you?" Zhang Yanlin's last sentence was tinged with sarcasm.
If that were really the case, this person had no right to look down on him.
