I'M A QUADRILLIONAIRE - Season 5 Episode 37

“Rice Cake, what are you doing now?” David asked a stocky classmate next to him.

Rice Cake’s name was Colby Rice. He was one of David’s best friends in high school. Since their families were poor, they would often work part-time jobs together.

Since Colby’s last name was Rice, everyone gave him the nickname Rice Cake.

He was not angry about this, and he had a smile on his face every day.

Only David knew that this kid had even lower self-esteem than him.

What harm could a nickname do if he could please his classmates and get along with everyone?

“Dave, I’m working on the construction site in Shu City with my dad now. I can’t compare with you since I’m not as smart as you. You got into the nationally renowned South River University even while you were working while studying,” Colby said in envy.

He truly envied David.

Aside from getting into South River University, he was even dating Goddess Celia now.

Colby’s father used to compare him with David, and he would ask Coldy to learn more from David.

However, what could he do?

Talent was needed for studies. David was smart and he was stupid.

When the two worked part-time together, the boss would always compliment David while he never got any praise.

However, Colby had a very good advantage, which was that although others had always praised David and used him as a negative yardstick, he would only feel envious but never have the slightest bit of jealousy and hatred. Instead, he felt that it was his honor that someone like David could be his friend, which made him very happy..

That was why David had always had a good relationship with him.

Colby was not a sly individual, and he was sincere to his friends.

Plus, he would not feel jealousy or hatred just because his friends around him were doing better than him.

“Rice Cake, have you ever thought about going out there to see the world? It might be even more spectacular than you think,” David asked.

“I want to, but my dad won’t let me. He said I don’t have education and skills so I can only be a rubbish collector if I go to a big city,” Colby said sadly.

“Rice Cake, if you want to get out of Shu City to experience a different life. Call me after the reunion and I’ll arrange something for you,” David said after thinking about it.

He felt that if he could help his classmates that were close to him, he should.

It only took a miniscule amount of effort for him.

Right now, a sentence from him would be enough to change the life of a normal person.

This was one of the reasons he came to the reunion.

He wanted to come here to reminisce about his high school life and also see some of his classmates with whom he was close to.

If he could help them, he would.

“Really? Thank you, Dave! If my dad learns I’m going with you, he’ll surely agree. Back then, my dad always said that you’d have a promising future and I should follow you,” Colby said happily.

As long as he went back and told his father that David was the one who invited him, his father would surely agree.

Back then, his father would tell him that he should follow in David’s footsteps.

“We’re all classmates so we should help each other. Right, where is King Kong? What’s he doing now?” David asked.

King Kong was also David’s good friend in high school.

Since he was tall and had long arms, his nickname was King Kong.

“He…” Colby wanted to say something, but he stopped himself.

David wanted to continue asking when someone walked into the room. It was their homeroom teacher from high school, Giselle.
