No one expected that the class reunion would start with Tao Ying's arrogance and end with Xiao Zheng's desperate counterattack. What everyone didn't expect was that Lan Xin, who was now regarded as a goddess by these old classmates, would secretly be with Xiao Zheng. And looking at the two people's high-profile show of affection, I guess good things are coming soon, and they will be able to drink their wedding wine soon.
Everyone congratulated Xiao Zheng and Lan Xin one after another, and rushed to invite Xiao Zheng to dinner, hoping that Xiao Zheng would honor them and attend the appointment.
Xiao Zheng accepted them one by one and did not act superior because of Lu Dashan's appearance just now. It is completely different from the domineering and high-profile little bully back then. Become more mature and stable.
Amidst the laughter and laughter, the class reunion finally came to a successful conclusion. Except for Tao Ying who left with regret, everyone else gained a lot and left with a satisfied smile.
After leaving Kowloon City, Zhang Lan said with a smile on her face: "Azheng, I don't want to wait in line for you to eat. How about we go have a midnight snack together?"
Xiao Zheng looked back at Lan Xin and saw that the other party was in good spirits and his eyes were full of submission to him. He couldn't help but smile and nod: "Monitor Zhang is treating me to a treat. It would be disrespectful of me to refuse."
Zhang Lan smiled and said, "Then go to the food stall near our school."
After that, Zhang Lan got into his car and led the way.
Lan Xin drove behind, not forgetting to tell Xiao Zheng: "Zhang Lan is now a celebrity in the officialdom, and his drinking capacity is not what it used to be. You must be careful not to get yourself drunk."
"Don't worry." Xiao Zheng joked as he rolled up the car window and lit a cigarette. "I have lived for twenty-five years, and I have never met a woman who could get me drunk."
Lan Xin pursed her lips and smiled: "You just love to brag."
"Bragging?" Xiao Zheng raised his eyebrows and vowed. "I'll show you my terrifying drinking capacity later!"
Lan Xin smiled lightly, with only deep honey in her eyes, which was extremely gentle.
The location of the food stall was easy to find, and the business was booming. Zhang Lan chose a seat next to him and sat down. He ordered a table of skewers and beer with a familiarity, raised his glass and said with a smile: "Come here, I will help you with your bright future." cheers."
Xiao Zheng raised his glass and drank it, wiped the wine stains from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's okay to drink, but if it's for my bright future - Squad Leader Zhang, compared with you, my life is so careless."
"So-so?" Zhang Lan put down his wine glass, warmly greeted the two of them to eat skewers, and then said angrily. "Why, are you still going to hide it in front of me?"
Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly and said, "I'm really just an ordinary company employee, so why should I hide it?"
Seeing that he was sincere, Zhang Lan couldn't help but turn her gun and asked Lan Xin: "Are you an employee of your ENN?"
"Yes." Lan Xin nodded gently and said meekly. "Azheng does work in our security department. And he was promoted to deputy captain of the security department some time ago."
Lan Xin is like a little girl, trying hard to put gold on Xiao Zheng's face. It seemed that becoming a deputy security captain was enough to make her proud.
Zhang Lan believed that Lan Xin was not a lying woman, but she also believed that Xiao Zheng, in addition to serving as a security guard at Xinao, also had social connections that Lan Xin was unaware of, otherwise—
Zhang Lan smiled, narrowed his eyes and asked, "That boss Lu just now, do you know who he is?"
This sentence is actually a bit awkward. Xiao Zheng and Lu Dashan are friends. Isn't Zhang Lan's question unnecessary? Of course, Zhang Lan didn't think so. On the contrary, she felt that Xiao Zheng might not know Lu Dashan's true identity. Many people, including Mingzhu, don’t know Lu Dashan’s true background.
Otherwise, why couldn't any of the old classmates present, including Tao Ying, who married into a wealthy family, recognize Lu Dashan
"Not very clear." Xiao Zheng shook his head slightly. explained. "His daughter and I are friends, and he is a neighbor."
"Neighbor?" Zhang Lan's face changed slightly and she asked in disbelief. "Are you really neighbors with Lu Dashan?"
"Yeah." Xiao Zheng smiled and nodded.
"Tsk tsk—" Zhang Lan glanced at Xiao Zheng and stopped dwelling on this issue. Because she noticed that Lan Xin didn't know about this, which meant that the two did not live together. Lu Dashan was Xiao Zheng's neighbor, but not Lan Xin's neighbor.
Zhang Lan, who hangs out in the officialdom, is extremely cautious in what she does and says, and will not easily make the environment awkward even if she is a classmate. But through this, Zhang Lan can be sure that the place where Xiao Zheng lives is no longer comparable to that of his old classmates. Then he smiled and asked: "Then you haven't asked what he does?"
"Businessman." Xiao Zheng said. "That's what he told me."
"He didn't lie to you, he is indeed a businessman." Zhang Lan smiled slightly and then said every word. "But as a businessman, he is too big and too rich."
Lan Xin only cares about Xiao Zheng and doesn't care whether others are rich. So she just listened patiently and acted as a qualified listener without saying much. Xiao Zheng is not surprised by this. Being able to push a girl like Lu Qier, who is obviously a KTV player, to the Grammy stage. Even if Lu Qier has excellent creative talents, it is enough to prove his terrifying connections and financial resources. .
That's why Zhang Lan said so mysteriously, but he just smiled and said: "Looking at his battle just now, he should be doing well."
"Doing well?" Zhang Lan smiled slightly and said mysteriously. "In the Pearl Business Circle, Lu Dashan can be said to be the well-deserved super richest man. Even in Yanjing, few people can compete with him."
"The richest man in the Pearl?" Xiao Zheng was dumbfounded and said in surprise. "With his appearance, is he worthy of being the richest man in the Pearl?"
"What's wrong with his appearance?" Zhang Lan asked with a smile. "Did he behave badly in front of you in private?"
"A typical image of a housewife." Xiao Zheng said with a speechless expression.
"Maybe the richer you are, the more bad taste you have." Zhang Lan explained. "But in Mingzhu, he is indeed a legendary man. He believes in second place, and no one dares to recognize the terrifying existence of number one."
"So, I accidentally made friends with a wealthy man." Xiao Zheng said casually, not looking happy about it. It's quite a bit of a master's attitude of being unfazed by flattery.
Zhang Lan was secretly surprised when she saw how relaxed he was. How far-sighted does this guy have to be able to remain calm despite knowing a legendary figure like Lu Dashan
Could it be that he has reached a high enough level that he doesn't care who the friends he makes are
Zhang Lan's thoughts became complicated.
At that time, Xiao was the most famous little bully in Pearl No. 1 Middle School and a well-known super academic. Now, he has easily captured Lan Xin's heart, and has become a lifelong friend with an unborn legend like Lu Dashan. And he could look at this problem calmly and not feel proud at all because he knew Lu Dashan. What has this guy been through all these years? How could he have such a state of mind and such a vision
It seems that outstanding men will remain outstanding as always, whether in school or in society. Does not change due to circumstances. Not stained by the times.
Zhang Lan originally thought that she was worthy of being the leader of the class. Whether it was her previous marriage, job, or rich experience and connections, she was unique and outstanding among her old classmates. But now, Xiao Zheng's mysterious and incomprehensible background gave Zhang Lan a sense of curiosity and frustration. It turns out that after so many years, this man who once suppressed him in studies can still easily suppress himself in society, and his image is insurmountable.
"Squad Leader Zhang, don't discuss me anymore. Tell me about you." Xiao Zheng asked curiously. "You said you were divorced before. What happened? With your abilities and conditions, I really can't think of what kind of man would let go of such an outstanding woman like you."
