Of course Yu Shuying knew nothing and was just bluffing. After all, it was normal to be urged to get married when going home for the Chinese New Year, and to be introduced to someone or go on a blind date. And tomorrow was Valentine's Day, and the fifth day of the Chinese New Year was the day for a class reunion...
Now that Xiong Ran has regained his talent, some of his former female classmates might deliberately show some ambiguity to him.
The little bastard is so lustful, can he resist the temptation
…
"Old Bear, let's go..."
The next morning, Xiong Ran was awakened by a knock on the door while he was still asleep. Today was Valentine's Day, February 14th, but the fifth day of the New Year was also the day for a class reunion. His former best friend came to his house and personally dragged him to the reunion.
They are all children who grew up in this area. Many of them go to the same elementary, junior high and high schools. They have classmates in this community, neighboring communities and nearby communities.
Although, many class reunions are actually university reunions, those who attended junior high and high school rarely get together. After all, so many years have passed, and at most they will just get together with those who are familiar with each other, three to five, or seven to eight people.
This time, it was a reunion of high school classmates, and the person in charge of organizing it was a rich second-generation man. His family was in the trade business, and he had made a lot of money from the past to the present, and he was a wealthy man.
Of course, if you are just responsible for the arrangements, the expenses still need to be shared equally. After all, it is at least tens of thousands of dollars.
Boys pay more and girls pay less.
"Let's go, everyone is waiting..."
Zheng Jie opened the door and walked into the room, lifting a corner of Xiong Ran's quilt, "Get up, everyone is waiting..."
Xiong Ran rubbed his misty eyes. Although he and Zheng Jie had not had much contact over the years, they would occasionally take a walk, have a meal and chat during the New Year, so they were quite familiar with each other. Moreover, this guy was a very outgoing person and was very concerned about the class reunion he had organized.
After all, I haven’t seen many of my classmates for many years. I heard that many of them will be here this time, and I’m looking forward to meeting them.
"No, it's boring..."
Xiong Ran yawned, "I've made it very clear that I won't go, but you still want to pull me? Are you deliberately trying to make me a fool of myself at the class reunion? I hate it when people always make fun of my childhood engagement with Xu Ruoqing. Can you guarantee that you won't tell anyone? If you can, I'll go..."
"Don't make blind promises. Put 100,000 yuan on my behalf. If someone asks for it, the 100,000 yuan will be mine!"
"Fuck, why don't you go and grab it..."
Zheng Jie rolled his eyes. "In the beginning, you were the one who always boasted about your childhood marriage, but Xu Ruoqing ignored you, and you got angry and embarrassed. Now you don't allow others to talk about it. Do you have to be so hypocritical..."
"That's right, I am so hypocritical!"
Xiong Ran smiled slightly, "I won't cheat you. The class reunion was organized by Luo Yuan, right? You contacted him and told me the requirements, 100,000 yuan deposit! I don't want to go, but if you insist on taking me, I'll talk with money..."
"As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine!"
"If I doubled the amount to 200,000, I could still tell you the details of my childhood marriage today, and even invite Xu Ruoqing to the class reunion..."
"You can contact Luo Yuan and see if he can do it."
…
"No, no need to say more..."
Just when Zheng Jie was a little indifferent and followed Xiong Ran's advice to contact Luo Yuan to arrange the class reunion, Xu Ruoqing's classmates also came to her house and dragged her to the class reunion.
However, Xu Ruoqing's attitude is much firmer than Xiong Ran's. Boring and nonsense classmates will hehe...
"Ruoqing, everyone is waiting..."
Xia Qi, a pretty girl with twin ponytails, was Xu Ruoqing's best friend in junior high and high school. At this moment, she was pulling Xu Ruoqing's arm and shaking it, but she couldn't move it.
"Okay, Qiqi, I won't go..."
"If they are willing to wait, then let them wait. If they really can't wait for me, then they can just disband and not gather again..."
Xu Ruoqing didn't have the habit of sleeping in. Although she got up early, she just stayed at home and didn't go out. Besides, she had to spend Valentine's Day with Xiong Ran in the afternoon, so she didn't have any plans at all, so it didn't matter if she didn't go to the class reunion.
Seeing this, Xia Qi really had no other choice. She couldn't just ask a few people to tie him up and carry him over, so she could only leave in disappointment, unable to do anything after failing.
At the same time, Zheng Jie also received a reply from Luo Yuan, who called Xiong Ran "lunatic" in three words!
You must be crazy about money. If you don't want to come, don't come. You even bet 100,000 or 200,000. What nonsense is that? In the end, Zheng Jie left in frustration and met Xia Qi, who had also failed, at an intersection outside the community.
Both of them failed in their attempt to drag people away today.
At the same time, they also felt that Xiong Ran and Xu Ruoqing were no longer the same kind of people as them. It was not the difference in career achievements, but the automatic estrangement and alienation after adulthood, which eventually led to them becoming strangers.
The friendship between classmates in the past may have become a thing of the past, and we are unwilling to mention or recall it.
Draw a clear line between the two, classmates are just former classmates.
"Forget it, as long as we have fun..."
Zheng Jie took Xia Qi's hand. Although they were not child lovers, like Xiong Ran and Xu Ruoqing, they were in the same class from elementary school to junior high school and high school, and even went to the same university in Hangzhou. They were childhood sweethearts, so it was natural for them to be together.
We started dating in our junior year, and it has been five or six years now. We are not far from getting married, and I reminisce about the past. This class reunion is also an opportunity to catch up with classmates I haven't been in touch with in many years. After all, I am getting married next year, and I need to collect donations.
No matter if it is an elementary school reunion, a junior high school reunion, or a college reunion, just go if there is a reunion.
Today is the fifth day of the New Year. There will be many gatherings until the tenth day. The schedule is very full. It’s all about the contribution. I have to contact everyone, whether I should contact them or not.
In the adult world, there is no love or courtesy without reason, and without benefits, no one will care about you.
However, although Xiong Ran and Xu Ruoqing did not attend the class reunion this time, they at least showed up today.
It's OK to invite people when you get married. It doesn't matter whether people come or not, as long as the donations are there. Three to five hundred is not too little, and one thousand to eight hundred is not too much. A little bit adds up to a lot.
The first step to getting rich is collecting gifts at weddings!
…
"Oh, that's how you refuse?"
At 1:30 in the afternoon, after a short afternoon nap, Xiong Ran and Xu Ruoqing met at the intersection of their two communities and naturally talked about the class reunion that had come that morning.
When Xu Ruoqing learned that Xiong Ran had used money to refuse, she couldn't help but smile. This little bastard will become even worse when he grows up.
You want 100,000 or 200,000? Do you really think it's cabbage? Even robbery can't have such a legitimate reason.
"WeChat group, have you quit?"
"Resign, or wait to be kicked out..."
Xiong Ran shrugged. For this class reunion, Luo Yuan created a special group. No matter whether they were going or not, they would page each other and invite people to join.
Although, it is impossible for everyone to go. Many of those who got married and had children early probably won’t go.
But he and Xu Ruoqing are both single, and they both stay at home instead of going out, which is a bit too much. So out of sight, out of mind, so I quit the group and have some peace and quiet, to avoid people posting photos and videos of party scenes to deliberately provoke me.
Moreover, if I don’t go, it will be disgusting to Luo Yuan, and there is a possibility of getting kicked out, so I will just quit the group.
I will rarely interact with this group of classmates anymore.
"We two are completely separated from the group..."
On the way to the West Lake Scenic Area, Xiong Ran and Xu Ruoqing were sitting in the back seat of the car. "Over the years, the relationship with my former classmates has gradually become cold. I won't be going to the class reunion this time. The friendship we once had is gone..."
"As an adult, the more experiences you have, the less you care about things. I don't know whether it's good or bad."
Xu Ruoqing was a little sad, but Xiong Ran sighed, "Just keep the past in your heart! Everyone has their own life, and they won't stay at the same intersection for too long. We are just passers-by in each other's lives..."
"Social circles are constantly changing, and when there are needs in the future, they will naturally intersect. Having one or two close friends in a lifetime is enough! As long as there are family members, you won't be lonely..."
"It's a bit confusing, you can figure it out yourself."
This is Xiong Ran's sincere thought. In his previous life, he was a rural child, but he worked away from home all year round. He had his ups and downs, and basically only went home once a year. No matter how good classmates were, the relationship was no longer the same under the ravages of time because it was difficult to maintain.
I no longer participate in the rural social circle. I go home for a few days at the end of the year. At most, we get together for a drink, play cards and sing songs. The relationship does not warm up for more than a few days before I start wandering again.
The social circle must also be a long-term work circle.
For example, Xu Ruoqing's law firm circle, his Xiong Ying studio's music circle, and his family's classmates circle are ultimately just a thing of the past. At most, they will be contacted as gifts during weddings, but they will not appear on a daily basis.
It has nothing to do with being heartless or affectionate, it’s just that we’ve grown up, and our lives and work circles are no longer in the same place. It’s inevitable that we’ll become estranged as time goes by, that’s all.
…
"Tomorrow, it's time to go..."
In the West Lake Scenic Area, on a lakeside bench on one side of the Broken Bridge, Qiu Ruixue is wrapped in a coat, fully armed with a mask and a hat. Even if she were not a singer or a star, she would need to be fully armed just for the severe cold in winter.
I arrived in Hangzhou on the first night of the new year and checked into a five-star hotel near the West Lake. During the daytime these few days I wandered around the West Lake whenever I had nothing to do, and didn't encounter any of them.
As for visiting the Xiong family’s community, I never thought about it.
When I changed my flight ticket to come to Hangzhou, I thought that if we were destined to meet, then we would meet. If not, then forget it, don't force it, and wait until I return to Shanghai to talk about it.
Today is the fifth day of the first lunar month of 2014, and it is also Valentine's Day. If we don't meet again, it's time to go back to Shanghai.
These few days, I watched the scenery of Hangzhou from the West Lake View Room of the hotel, and visited many places in the surrounding area. I took walks like an ordinary person, and my mentality became much more relaxed. I hardly went online to pay attention to entertainment gossip, so I didn’t read the negative comments about myself. This kind of life is pretty good.
Unfortunately, no matter how tightly she wrapped herself, so tightly that no one passing by recognized her, Qiu Ruixue, but after returning to the Magic City and starting work again, all the leisure and leisure would be gone, and she would return to the road of black and red.
Vice President Zhao Shiqi's position and ability are in danger at Chenxing. He needs his artists to keep busy and use their achievements to make up for previous losses. This is not ridiculous.
Even though his father holds real power in the Chenxing board of directors, the negative impact of the cheating scandal on the company still cost Zhao Shiqi a lot to keep his position as vice president of the agency department. At the same time, Zhao Shiqi's own resources had to be shared a lot, and he also needed to keep a low profile.
At the very least, this kind of scandal involving female artists under Ruqian must not happen again, otherwise her position as vice president will be over, and her situation will not be much better than hers, Qiu Ruixue.
"Contract, less than 4 years left..."
Sitting on a bench beside the Broken Bridge of West Lake, Qiu Ruixue muttered to herself. Like Xiong Ran, she stood out in the Chenxing training camp at the end of her freshman year in 2006 and officially signed a 10-year contract with Chenxing. Now, six years have passed, and there are still four years left until the end of 2016 when the contract expires...
Star path has been going on for 6 years. In the first few years of starting out, not much was accumulated. It was only in the last two years that things started to pick up.
My hometown is Rongcheng, Sichuan Province. I bought a house in full last summer. Now the price has increased a lot. Now I have less than 5 million idle funds...
Now it seems that I may not be able to go back to my hometown in the future. I will be disliked by all kinds of people. So it is better to settle down in Shanghai in the future. I can earn some money this year to pay the down payment for a small single-family villa, and live alone and have leisure time...
Well, I will work hard for another four years and try to earn enough money to pay for the villa. If there is any surplus, I will open a store. As for whether to get married in the future, we will decide later. I guess...
"Well, that's it..."
Qiu Ruixue let out a sigh and smiled.
Um
However, her breathing suddenly stagnated the next moment. Her seat on the bench was very close to the entrance of the broken bridge, so she could see the figure clearly at close range when she looked up.
I saw a handsome man and a beautiful woman not far from the entrance, among the people who were about to turn onto the bridge...
Although he was wearing a mask, the extremely familiar figure and eyebrow outline were basically unmistakable.
Today is Valentine's Day, the girl next to me is...
