"Students, look at who this is."
Jiang Chao notified Yan Chu of the location of the class reunion. Perhaps because the number of participants in the class reunion was quite complete this time, the meeting place was set in a well-known hotel in the city, as can be seen from the magnificent decoration of the lobby. , the cost of this class reunion will not be too low.
However, the original body had good grades back then, and the high school he attended was also one of the best in the city. Basically, those who could enter that school either had good grades or a good family background. Now that they have graduated for so many years, everyone is not bad. , fully bear the expenses of this class reunion.
Yan Chu was welcomed in by Jiang Chao. At that time, there were many people in the box. After he spoke, the classmates who were talking with all looked at Yan Chu. His appearance hadn't changed from before, and they naturally recognized the person who came.
"Isn't this our college bully, the great talent Yan Chu? I haven't heard from you in these years. Why, it's not that the halo of the bully is too strong, so he went to study abroad?"
The news of Yan Chu's squatting at home these years, in fact, is well known among the classmates, and now it can be said to be pretending to be stupid, or it can be said to be an indirect ridicule.
No one likes other people's children, especially after so many years in society, people inevitably become more realistic. When you see a man who used to stand on top of you, you suddenly find that he also has the qualifications to belittle you and crush you. It is inevitable that you will have the urge to find a sense of accomplishment from you, a weak person.
Just like the man just now, once he said that, he regretted it a little.
Because when he was studying, he had no friendship with Yan Chu, and he had never offended him, so there was no need to trouble Yan Chu.
Although in his eyes Yan Chu had long been unqualified to do anything to him, it would be good to have one less enemy.
"Hahaha, our old classmates haven't got together for a long time. Today we just drink and eat. We don't care about work, family and children, let's put them aside."
The man changed his words with a smile, stepped forward a few steps, and patted Yan Chu's shoulder enthusiastically, looking like two good brothers.
"do not."
When Jiang Chao saw Ban Hua, who had been secretly in love with him, a beautiful woman who had already been married to someone else, the moment Yan Chu came in, his eyes never moved away from Yan Chu. Fan Yanchu, let him know that he is now the mud in the ground, and clearly let the other party understand the gap between him and himself.
Also, he wanted Banhua to see clearly what kind of trash she once liked, and made her regret and disgusted with her previous vision.
"Our Yan Xueba is such a powerful person. Our current achievements must be beyond our reach. I can't do it anymore. I will spend my life in a tobacco company, but this does not prevent me from admiring us. Xueba's glorious resume."
Jiang Chao seemed to be speaking heartily, none of the smart people present knew what was really going on in his heart, so they couldn't help turning their eyes to Yan Chu who had been silent since entering the door.
To be honest, they are also curious about what Yan Chu is doing now. Is it true that the other party has been squatting at home after graduating from university, as the rumors say
There is also a rumor that is not widely circulated, saying that he did not even graduate from university, but there is no second student among them who is studying at Jiaotong University, so it is impossible to verify the authenticity of a rumor.
"I'm not as good as you think. These years, I've been writing novels at home."
Today, when he came to attend the class reunion, Yan Chuhai dressed up specially. He didn't look weak and exhausted when he first took over the body, but he looked much more energetic, with a bit of the former vigor.
"What kind of novel are you writing? Is it Han Han's kind, or some kind of messy and uneducated online novel?" Jiang Chao pressed every step of the way, but Duan Xi couldn't stand it anymore and interrupted Jiang Chao's words.
Duan Xi is the school girl who once liked the original body Duan.
"The son of the old class is sick, and he can't come to our class reunion today. Now that the classmates are almost here, why don't we ask the waiter to start serving the dishes."
Duan Xi glanced at the man who was much more mature than the young boy in high school, and suddenly felt relieved.
During those years in college, she has never let go of her attention to this man. Therefore, among so many classmates, she is also the only one who is sure that the other party has not received a diploma and can only be regarded as a person with a high school education level. She didn't know who spread the rumors.
To be honest, she was really disappointed with Yan Chu. After all, he was so good in high school, and he was so inferior and incompetent later.
After graduating from university, the other party not only did not try to repeat the study, but returned to his hometown as if escaping, and started a life of gnawing on the old. It was also this that made her completely let go of her obsession with the other party and started a new relationship.
In fact, she has long since lost the throbbing she had for Yan Chu now, but because the other man is also the man she once liked, so when she saw him being made things difficult, Duan Xi couldn't help but stand up. Come out and rescue him.
Jiang Chao saw the disappointment that flashed in Ban Hua's eyes, knew that his goal had been achieved, and he had no intention of continuing to make things difficult for Yan Chu, so he cheerfully called the waiter in, and then started today's party.
Qiu Wok happened to come to inspect the hotel at home today. When he passed the box where Yan Chu was, the moment the waiter entered with the food, he saw Yan Chu who was sitting opposite the door, but the other party didn't see him.
"Is that box occupied by someone today?"
Qiu Wok asked the manager beside him.
This hotel is owned by Qiujia, and now it is a market economy. Qiujia has Qiujia private kitchen dishes for the high-end market, which has a very small audience, while the restaurant in front of you is facing a large number of middle-end groups. Enemies bring a lot of profits.
This concept was also proposed by his father, which made Qiujia seize the market when hotels first became popular. Now Qiujia's hotel chain is already the fattest piece of cake in Qiujia's family business.
"Well, it seems to be a reunion of classmates. Two tables have been set up, and the banquet at table 5999 in our hotel is reserved." The manager is still very familiar with the booking situation of the box, especially these days when the small boss is inspecting, in order to be able to be in the small room All the performances in front of the owner, he has almost memorized the situation of the hotel in the past few days.
"Oh."
Qiu Wok nodded, "Just charge the expenses of that box to my account."
Half a month ago, the Qiu family started to try some of the recipes given by Yan Chu in restaurants and private restaurants, and the response was very good, especially because of the appearance of these new dishes in private restaurants, the scheduled banquets have already been scheduled for next year Spring begins.
When the Chou family was at its most prosperous, it had never achieved such an achievement.
You must know that the Chou Family's private restaurant caters to either the rich or the noble. Such a big person coming to the Chou Family to eat will not only bring a generous financial return to the Chou Family, but also a group of personal connections within easy reach.
After the Chou family already has a chain of restaurants with huge profits, they still regard the food from the Chou family's private kitchen as the foundation of the Chou family, for the sake of these connections that others cannot reach.
Because of this, of course Qiu Wok was not stingy with his friendship with Yan Chu, wishing to confess him as a God of Wealth.
Now it's just two tables with a total price of more than 10,000, and the cost may only be two to three thousand dishes, of course he doesn't care.
The general manager nodded. He had been paying attention to the expression of the little boss just now, so he knew who he was looking at. I am afraid that the young man sitting at the opposite door is their friend of the little boss. When they finish eating, they will pay the bill. Sometimes, he had to go there himself.
"Yan, Yan Chu, we are all old classmates. Since you, you have written a novel, why not tell us your name, so we, our old classmates can cheer for you."
Aside from the unhappiness at the beginning, after the whole meal, everyone recalled the funny things in high school, and it was enjoyable, but when the party was about to end, Jiang Chao finally couldn't help it, and stabbed him again by being drunk and confused Yan Chu.
In his opinion, Yan Chu is so downcast that even if he writes novels, he must write those that are not popular and no one will read them.
Originally, he didn't want to say anything about him, but who would make the other party vain? During the class reunion, he actually had the nerve to put gold on his face and create the illusion of being a "writer". Jiang Chao didn't want to bear it anymore.
Dingtian is just a little transparent on the Internet, he is still working in a tobacco company, is he proud
Jiang Chao would not admit that every time there was a class reunion, he would inadvertently mention his job as an employee of a tobacco company, and the frequency of mentioning it was no less than ten times.
"You may not like what I wrote, but if one day it is made into a movie, I will let everyone know."
Yan Chu was full, put down his chopsticks and said.
Perhaps it was because these students thought that he was not a friend worth making. After a party, no one came to persuade him to drink. When most of the male students were drunk, he looked a little sober. special.
"Pffff—"
Jiang Chao couldn't help laughing out, what kind of daydream was the other party doing? He patted Yan Chu's shoulder and said with his tongue out, "Okay, if you have ambition, my old classmate will be waiting for your novel to be featured in the big screen." the day of the curtain."
I don't know if he can wait for the next life.
In fact, just last week, Yan Chu had already received a reply from Qiu Wok. Director Li was very interested in his novel. Not long ago, he had a video communication with Director Li and chatted about his interest in making this novel into a film. In the final opinion, they had a good talk, and selling the copyright was almost a certainty.
Yan Chu told the truth, but no one in the audience believed it. Most of them were like Jiang Chao, but they hid their emotions better and congratulated Yan Chu perfunctorily on the surface.
"I invite you for this meal."
Perhaps because he had ridiculed his former rival in love, Jiang Chao was in a good mood, endured the heartache, and generously changed the originally planned AA classmate reunion into a treat.
The banquet they ordered was not of the highest class, and with drinks included, it was only 12,300 yuan at most, which Jiang Chao could still afford.
"Hi sir, our boss has already waived the bill for you."
The general manager who sent off the little club came in and said very politely.
"Free order, why free order?" This restaurant chain is well-known all over the country. The owner of the restaurant for no reason waived their order. Obviously something is wrong. Could it be that one of them and the owner of this restaurant There are relationships
The originally drunk man was mostly sober, looking at a group of classmates with puzzled and inexplicable expressions, and couldn't figure out which one was hiding something, and there was such a network, but because of people, he refrained from talking about it.
He paused when his eyes turned to Yan Chu. After all, the expression on the other's face from doubt to understanding was too conspicuous, but how could this man who had been living in the countryside for four years have such a friend? ruled out the other party's suspicion.
"This gentleman is a friend of our boss." The manager looked at Yan Chu respectfully and said, at this moment, the face of the person who looked down on him at first turned blue or pale, and his complexion suddenly became strange.
The seemingly happy classmates ended up in a strange way. Many students were curious about why Yan Chu knew the owner of this hotel chain, but they couldn't help asking, but their hearts silently changed their feelings towards Yan Chu. view.
Can make such a billionaire as a friend, how can he be such a gnawing old man as the rumors, maybe it's just that the rumors are wrong.
This change in concept is realistic and ridiculous. Yan Chu, who was originally looked down upon by everyone, suddenly had an earth-shaking change in everyone's image just because he had an extra rich friend.
Only Jiang Chao refused to accept this fact, emphasizing in his heart that even if the other party has a rich friend, so what, he is still a useless piece of trash, and he will never be able to catch up with him in his life.
*****
Ten months later, all the students who had participated in this class reunion received an email from Yan Chu. The content of the email was two electronic movie tickets. That movie was Director Li's latest masterpiece "Food". Forbidden City is said to be a movie of the same name based on a popular novel.
According to legend, Director Li originally planned to adapt this novel into a TV series. After all, his achievements in films over the years were not very good, but in the end, for some unknown reason, he decided to adapt this novel into a film.
The response from the previous test screenings was very good, and many film critics praised it. This may be director Li's shameful work.
Among these students, many of them originally planned to watch this highly praised movie. Now that they have received Yan Chu's movie tickets, almost all of them brought their wives, husbands or children to watch this movie. A movie for everyone.
At the end of the film, when they saw the word Yan Chu at the top of the screenwriter's column, they understood the meaning of the movie ticket given to them by the other party.
It turned out that what the other party said at the class reunion that day was true.
It's just that since that time, Yan Chu never came to the class reunion again, and they also knew that it was their behavior at the beginning that severely hurt the heart of this old classmate, and that the classmate who was originally so promising was pushed far away by them. opened.
*****
eight years later
"Yi Yi is still a child. There is no child who is not naughty. Don't scold her. You can see that the child is frightened by you."
As soon as Yan Chu entered the entrance, he heard his mother's voice.
"That's right, isn't it just a cup? If you break it, it will break. Let's know it's wrong one by one, right. One by one, quickly apologize to your mother, and say that you won't dare in the future."
It was his father's voice. Without thinking, Yan Chu knew what happened.
Sure enough, when he put on his shoes and walked to the restaurant, he saw two old people guarding a five or six-year-old girl behind him, and the other was about 30 years old. She was well maintained and looked about twenty-six or seven-year-old The woman stood on the opposite side of the three of them, glaring at the little girl behind the old man.
This woman is Yan Chu's wife in this world, and also Lin Landuo, the blind date his mother arranged for him.
The location of their blind date was at the movie theater, and the movie they watched was the film "Restaurant" of the same name adapted from Yan Chu's novel. Yan Chu also learned from her communication that this girl was actually his loyal fan, or was he an obsessed girl? He is the loyal local rich reader who ranks third on the Overlord vote list.
This kind of fate was beyond Yan Chu's expectation. When he heard the other party recommending the novel he wrote to him like a chatterbox, Yan Chu couldn't help but want to laugh when he was boasting about him as an author.
Fate may have started like this. Originally, it was just a perfunctory completion of the tasks of the elders of both parties, but in the end, they were everywhere. When they realized that the two of them matched in their respective hobbies, it really came from feelings, especially when Lin Landuo knew that Yan Chu After becoming the author of "Restaurant", he intensified his offensive and made Yan Chu call for surrender.
In this way, when Yan Chu was twenty-six years old, after dating for a year, they entered the wedding hall, and in the second year, they had the crystallization of love, that is, the one who was protected by the old couple. The little girl, Yan only.
Now the second child is open, but because they want to give their only love to this child, the couple chose such a name for this baby girl.
It is said that the relatives of the next generation, the whole family dotes on this child the most, than Yan Yuanjiang and Gu Aihong. Every time the child makes a mistake, Lin Landuo, the mother who wants to teach the child a lesson, is the first to stop her. This is the grandparents.
"A Chu, you're back."
Seeing his son coming back, Yan Yuanjiang quickly pushed his wife and let her bring the little granddaughter who just made a mistake into the house.
This family is the strictest to the granddaughter than this son. On the one hand is the beloved son, on the other is the beloved granddaughter. Yan Yuanjiang feels sorry for anyone who scolds on both sides, so every time the granddaughter makes a mistake and the son wants to scold her , will choose to separate the two, and stay until the son forgets about the mistake made by the granddaughter.
Although his strategy has never been successful, Yan Yuanjiang still enjoys it.
"Wait, what's with this broken bowl?"
Sure enough, Yan Chu didn't let his mother take the child back to the house easily, but pointed to the broken bowl and the porridge spilled on the floor and asked.
"It's not that they are picky eaters. They don't want to eat the carrots in the porridge. When they eat, they look around. I don't know what little idea they are thinking. In the end, they accidentally broke the bowl."
Lin Landuo spoke helplessly from the side.
The in-laws are considerate, the husband is loving, and the daughter is smart. This kind of life is almost envied by everyone. Even when she thinks about it sometimes, she feels that she is too lucky. It was just an accidental blind date, and she met her idol. The highest achievement of marrying an idol.
But life will not always be smooth sailing, and there will inevitably be some bumps and bumps, just like the unconditional indulgence of the in-laws to their daughter, which often makes Lin Landuo feel powerless in the matter of disciplining her daughter.
Fortunately, the husband can bear it, can withstand the pressure of his parents-in-law, and educate his daughter who has made mistakes.
But apart from Lin Landuo's disagreement with her parents-in-law in terms of her daughter's education, in other aspects of her life, she couldn't be more satisfied with the parents-in-law. Various behaviors pointing fingers, almost a model for model in-laws.
Lin Landuo was also very filial to them in return.
"Isn't it just a bowl? One by one it wasn't intentional, right? Besides, when the bowl fell on the ground, we all were shocked one by one."
Gu Aihong protected her little granddaughter behind her, and whispered to her son in a soft voice.
"Mom, it's not about a bowl."
Yan Chu was helpless, the pampering and pampering that he had experienced in the original body seemed to be repeated on his daughter, but fortunately he was still watching, otherwise, his daughter's cleverness in fighting snakes and sticks would not be enough. With the guts of the two old men, I don't know if they will jump to the sky.
In a few years, I'm afraid he can be raised as a little devil in the world.
"Why is it not a matter of a bowl, Yiyi, tell your parents I'm sorry, and after I'm sorry, this matter will be over."
Gu Aihong squatted down and hugged her little granddaughter lovingly. Just now, the bowl was dropped on the ground so loudly. Don't scare the child's soul away. When the time comes, she will have to pray to the Kitchen God to stabilize her soul.
"sorry."
Yan Weiyi rolled his big grape-like eyes, met his father's eyes, bowed his head guiltyly, pointed his fingers with his mouth pouted, and said with a little guilty conscience.
Seeing her performance, Yan Chu probably understood that it was probably because the girl didn't want to eat carrots and broke the bowl on purpose.
He left home to go to the studio for half a month, and his daughter's temperament was spoiled. For this, his father and mother are absolutely indispensable.
"Dad, Mom, I want to talk to you."
Yan Chu put down his briefcase, glanced at his guilty daughter inexplicably, and then said to his parents.
"what did you say?"
Seeing their son's serious expression, Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang became nervous for no reason.
Wasn't he just talking about his granddaughter? Why did he suddenly have something to talk to them about
Gu Aihong and Yan Yuanjiang glanced at each other, followed their son to the study.
