Chapter 38 The choice of the class flower
Liu Mei was the class monitor of Wu Fei when she was in college. She also organized the class reunion today. However, after chatting for a while, they realized that although she organized the bureau today, there was someone else who actually treated her.
Liu Mei was welcoming guests at the door. She and Wu Fei knew a few words and told Wu Fei the location of the banquet room. The couple went upstairs.
"So today the one who treats you to the past male classmate of your class, named Zhang Guangming? This is to be proud!" Zhuang Ziqiang joked.
Wu Fei shook his head, "I don't know. But his family conditions were really not good when he was in college. I still remember that the clothes he wore were bought at the night market. He was reluctant to throw away the shoes until they were glued. He ran to the shoe repair stall to find someone to repair them."
"It seems that your classmate is doing well now. He also took the initiative to treat guests at the InterContinental Hotel."
As the two of them spoke, they came to the banquet box of the class reunion.
After more than ten years of graduation, many students' appearances have changed drastically, but the general outline can still be recognized.
Wu Fei called out his classmates one by one with his memory. He always felt a little joyful when he met his old friends again and couldn't help but feel in love.
Wu Fei introduced Zhuang Ziqiang to his classmates. Everyone knows that after graduating from college, she went to study in the United States and found a top student who graduated from Stanford. After the introduction, everyone naturally had to give compliments.
When he was middle-aged, Zhang Guangming, who had already gained weight, enthusiastically held Zhuang Ziqiang's hand and started chatting with Zhuang Ziqiang very proficiently.
"Oh! I remember that Wu Fei was the beauty of our class back then. He married you, a talented man from Stanford, and he was so handsome."
"You're welcome, we're also a fate that comes from studying abroad."
Zhuang Ziqiang said a few perfunctory words and sat back in his seat with Wu Fei.
"What's going on?" Wu Fei asked.
"Who knows? But the old saying goes, show your kindness to be a traitor or a thief. You, a classmate, shouldn't just treat you."
The couple whispered a few words, and Wu Fei started chatting with his classmates.
There are only two steps for classmate chatting: first ask about the current situation, and then recall the past.
When he learned that Wu Fei had returned from the United States, a trace of disdain flashed in the female classmate's eyes when he talked to her.
In the public's perception, there are only two situations when they return from abroad. Either they are really awesome and national borders are no longer a problem. Or they are unable to survive abroad and can only return to China in shame.
All the students in Wu Fei's school where he studied abroad knew that he could barely be at the edge of a prestigious school. Now he can participate in the class reunion, which is obviously not a great group. He probably came back because he couldn't make it abroad.
The enthusiasm of female classmates to talk gradually faded after they thought they could find out Wu Fei's reality.
Wu Fei also saw the difference between female classmates, and was tactful and stopped talking, and turned around and talked to Zhuang Ziqiang.
Seeing that her face was a little disappointed, Zhuang Ziqiang squeezed her hand to comfort her.
After a while, Liu Mei, who was welcomed by the door, entered the private room. It seemed that everyone invited today should be all the people.
Zhuang Ziqiang counted the banquet box and added more than 20 people, most of whom were present with their families. Only one or two singles were mixed in, and the big guys were all dressed like humans.
Zhuang Ziqiang quietly said to Wu Fei, "The classmates who came today should be doing well, right?"
Wu Fei said in surprise: "How do you know?"
Although she rarely contacts everyone, she also has some understanding of these classmates. Many of the basic people present today are from wealthy families, and there are also second-generation rich or second-generation officials. Of course, it is not as exaggerated as in the novel plot, but among ordinary people, it should be considered a prominent existence.
While Wu Fei and Zhuang Ziqiang were talking, Liu Mei, who came in later, made the venue warm up in a few words. It was obvious that she was also a veteran at the table.
It was through her introduction that everyone realized that Liu Mei is now working in Zhang Guangming's company.
Wu Fei couldn't help but sigh. He was all classmates in the same class back then, but now he is an employee and the other is a boss. His life experience is really wonderful.
The banquet officially began.
As the host, Zhang Guangming spoke with a cup, but he didn't treat everyone as a fool. He said bluntly: "Today I'll organize this class reunion. On the one hand, our classmates haven't seen each other for many years, so we can contact each other. On the other hand, my brother just settled in Suzhou this year, and I want to ask everyone to help."
According to Liu Mei’s words, Zhang Guangming now has two companies in his hands, mainly engaged in foreign trade, and is considered a boss who has achieved some success in entrepreneurship. Today’s class reunion is obviously to help his company connect.
But this is understandable. People can't just pay for charity, right?
Zhang Guangming spent money to treat guests in order to keep in touch and have the opportunity to use the connections and funds of his classmates.
Everyone also understood the principle that everyone carried the flower sedan chair, and the scene was harmonious.
After two glasses of wine, the atmosphere of the party gradually became lively.
When everyone talks about the youthful past when they were in school, Wu Fei is indispensable.
As Zhang Guangming said, Wu Fei was the class beauty in the class back then, and many people had pursued her, but Wu Fei didn't like any of them.
"It's still our class beauty who has foresight and knows that these male students in our class are not good at it. It was not until after studying abroad that I found a top student studying abroad at Stanford. Now I have obtained a US green card and am having fun abroad!"
A male classmate teased Wu Fei after drinking some wine.
"Don't you know that Wu Fei and his wife have both returned to China? They are now serious citizens of the People's Republic of China!"
The female classmate who was talking to Wu Fei at the beginning continued the conversation, but the tone in the conversation made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Someone said again: "That must be because I have made enough money abroad and returned home in glory!"
The atmosphere at the wine table became subtle, and these few words were equivalent to raising Wu Fei and his wife.
I was studying abroad, staying there for several years, and suddenly returned to China. The biggest reason is that I can't make it in the afternoon.
Saying this is like pointing at the monk and scolding the bald man.
Wu Fei and his wife were calm and composed. Liu Mei, who was standing beside her, suddenly interrupted: "Of course I'm returning home in glory. Speaking of which, Wu Fei is the one I admire most in our class."
Everyone looked at Liu Mei.
"When I was in college, I knew that my goal was to study abroad and devote all my energy to studying. After studying abroad, I met true love, and they resolutely got married and had children.
Now, if you have success in your career, you will definitely choose to return home in glory. Wu Fei, if you have time, you will also take us to visit your big house, so that we, the common people, will also open our eyes!"
