A month later, the whole thing finally died down.
Just as Su Zelin breathed a sigh of relief, he suddenly received a call from Zhao Mingxuan.
"Old classmate, I'm getting married!"
When Su Zelin heard the first words from the man with glasses, he was confused.
In his previous life, Zhao Mingxuan didn't get married so early. Niu Rong kept him as a backup for many years until she was hurt by many scumbags and became disheartened. Zhao Mingxuan's career as a lawyer was also developing well, so she met this bootlicker and took him as a marriage partner.
At that time, Zhao Mingxuan was already 27 years old.
In his previous life, his wedding was in Yanjing, which was too far away, and not many people were willing to go there to attend the wedding. However, Hunzi did him the honor and still remembered it.
Zhao Mingxuan is a few months older than himself. He is twenty-three years old now, which is four years earlier than in his previous life.
Of course, the objects are also different.
Speaking of which, Zhao Mingxuan has not been with his current girlfriend for very long.
He told me this at a class reunion during the Chinese New Year two years ago, and it has been just over a year now.
It can’t be called a flash marriage, but it was definitely very fast.
Maybe because he has been hurt in love, he longs for true love even more. When he meets true love, he will enter into marriage without hesitation.
After three seconds of being stunned, Su Zelin finally responded: "Hey, squad leader, congratulations!"
"Thank you, Su Zelin, I really have to thank you for helping me escape from the sea of suffering and find a good wife!"
Zhao Mingxuan's tone in the microphone was filled with a strong sense of happiness.
"You're right. It's better to find a girl who loves you than to find a girl you love. Of course, I love my wife too. We are in love with each other!"
After a pause, the man with glasses asked tentatively, "Old classmate, I want to ask you for one more favor. Can you be my best man at my wedding?"
"Be a best man?"
The gangster was a little surprised.
Although he was invited to Zhao Mingxuan's wedding in his previous life, he did not serve as the best man.
Although the two of them could not be said to be incompatible at the time, their relationship was not very harmonious either.
"Yes, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have broken up with Niu Rong and pursued true happiness. So I think you have a great influence on my love, so I want to ask you to be my best man."
Zhao Mingxuan explained.
This is actually just one reason. Another reason is that the man with glasses is still a little proud and wants to save face. He feels that his status as a best man at a wedding cannot be too low, and Su Zelin is quite awesome and can bring a lot of face to the wedding.
Seeing that Su Zelin didn't answer, the man with glasses said, "The wedding is scheduled for May 1st. If you are really too busy, forget it. I understand!"
"May Day..."
During this national holiday, the New Century stores were indeed very busy during the Little Golden Week, but the headquarters was not busy and still had the holiday as usual, with only a few people on duty.
"The company is on holiday, I'm free, but are you really determined to let me be the best man? Aren't you worried that I'll steal the limelight?"
"What's there to worry about, Su Zelin? Even though you have more money than me, we all look about the same. And I was the groom that day, so naturally I was the most handsome!"
Use Rejoice, be confident.
Zhao Mingxuan was not worried about the threat from the gangsters at all.
Even though he is a billionaire, he is still hailed as the national husband by countless female fans.
Su Zelin: “…”
In the end, the gangster agreed to the glasses man's request.
Speaking of which, when his family opened a franchise store in Jianglan, his father, Deputy Zhao, also helped a lot, so let's just return the favor.
After chatting for a while, I hung up the phone.
Su Zelin suddenly discovered that Zhao Mingxuan seemed to be the first person to get married in high school.
People in this era seem to be a bit polarized when it comes to marriage.
Those who graduate from college usually get married later. After all, they have to work hard for their careers and hope to live a better life in the future, so they need some material foundation.
Some students stop studying after graduating from elementary or junior high school, especially girls in rural areas, who may get married and have children early.
For example, in the small village where Qin Shiqing's grandmother lives, some of the children of the same age who used to compete with Su Zelin to see who could pee farther are now able to help with cooking.
As expected, Qin Shiqing, Lu Haoran and Xiao Yanzi also received calls from Zhao Mingxuan.
The man with glasses invited all his high school classmates, and Qin Shiqing certainly would not miss one.
On the eve of May Day, several people returned to Jianglan together.
Willow Lane.
"Zelin, Shiqing, you're back."
As soon as the adults from both families heard the engine of the car, they ran out of their house.
Especially Liu Sufen, who was very concerned about me.
Thinking back to when the neighbor's kid just graduated from high school and she planned to wait and see if he was suitable to be her future son-in-law, Liu Sufen felt that she was simply blind.
This is a boy who is known as the "national husband" and the most ideal marriage partner in the minds of countless unmarried girls. What would I be thinking at that time!
Fortunately, my daughter worked hard and did not miss him!
Liu Sufen secretly rejoiced.
"Ze Lin, I heard that you and Shi Qing are coming back to attend the wedding of your high school class president, right? I watched you two grow up from hungry to hungry, and in the blink of an eye, you have reached the age to start a family and build a career!"
Qin's mother was hinting at something intentionally or unintentionally.
Qin Shiqing couldn't stand it anymore and quickly pulled her back.
"Hey, Shiqing, what are you doing? Didn't you see that I was talking to Zelin?"
Liu Sufen grumbled in dissatisfaction.
"Mom, I just wanted to ask you what you are doing. Are you going to urge Zelin to get married?"
Qin Shiqing asked back unhappily.
"How can this be considered as urging you to get married? You're overthinking it. I'm just reminding Zelin that you're not too much older than him, but you're not too young either. In June, he'll be 23, and it won't matter if you're a month late. It's time to consider the important things in your life."
Liu Sufen smiled awkwardly after being exposed.
"Do you remember Zhang Yiming from your grandmother's village? He was also Zelin's playmate. His child is in elementary school this year!"
The kid next door is now tall, rich and handsome. Mother Qin would feel uneasy if her daughter didn't get married to him soon.
It would be better if I could give birth to a big fat baby sooner...
"Mom, others are others, and we are us!"
Qin Shiqing said helplessly: "This year our company is busy opening stores in domestic towns, a total of nearly 20,000 stores. Zelin's task is very heavy. Now is the time to focus on his career. How can we let him be distracted and hold us back!"
"My daughter, I'm not asking you to get the marriage certificate right away. I just have a preliminary idea..."
Liu Sufen continued to chatter away.
"I don't want to hear it!"
Qin Shiqing simply covered her ears and went into her room.
"This child, how come he doesn't know his mother's painstaking efforts? I am doing this for your own good!"
Liu Sufen frowned.
At this time, Qin Daqing on the side said, "Sufen, why are you urging me to get married now? I also think it's not appropriate."
"You know shit!"
Liu Sufen glared at her lover.
"You, like my daughter, have no sense of crisis. You know Zelin's situation today. All the matchmakers in Jianglan want to be his matchmaker. If you don't settle this matter soon, how can I feel at ease?"
"Hey, Sufen, you're worrying about this, you're just worrying too much!"
Qin Daqing was amused by his lover's unfounded worries: "If someone else introduces Ze Lin to someone else, will Ze Lin accept it? Those women have no emotional foundation with him. Besides, are they as pretty and outstanding as our daughter? Are they childhood sweethearts with Ze Lin? How come you don't have any confidence in your daughter?"
"That's right. Not to mention the whole Jiang Lan, even in the whole Xia country, there are not many girls as pretty, smart, and sensible as my Shi Qing!"
Mother Qin was very proud.
Giving birth to such a wonderful daughter is the proudest thing in her life.
…
The next day I attended Zhao Mingxuan's wedding.
Su Zelin served as best man as agreed.
The bride was from a small county in Gusu. She was pretty, with kind eyes and spoke softly. She looked gentle, and her eyes were full of love when she looked at Zhao Mingxuan.
Many high school classmates were invited to attend the wedding. One reason was that it was the May Day holiday, and the other was that Zhao Mingxuan was quite respected in high school, and everyone gave face to his marriage.
In addition to those classmates, high school teachers also came.
The class monitor is usually the teacher's favorite student. What's more, Zhao Mingxuan, in addition to being the class monitor, has excellent character and academic performance, was admitted to a key university, has a good job after graduation, and is also the son of the deputy mayor.
If Su Zelin hadn't suddenly appeared, he would be the coolest guy in the class.
However, because of Su Zelin, Zhao Mingxuan could only move back.
No one could steal the limelight from Hunzi. He was the most dazzling student in the entire history of No. 2 Middle School.
After drinking a few cups of horse urine at the wedding, Lao Guo pulled Su Zelin, reeking of alcohol, and said, "Zelin, I told you at the farewell party that you might be the best student in the class after you go out into society. However, the teacher never expected that you would achieve such a high level of success!"
Su Zelin is a successful example of alternative success, proving that even mediocre students can have their own future.
This is also the way of educating people that Guo Xingbang has always pursued. He firmly believes that any student can become a person who contributes to society, regardless of their grades or performance in school.
Even when facing those unpleasant scoundrels or even troublemakers, Lao Guo can always guide them very patiently. As long as these people do not go astray, they will eventually mature and become sensible.
"That's because the teacher taught me well."
Su Zelin said modestly.
"Hehe, when will it be your turn to drink the wedding wine with Qin Shiqing?"
Lao Guo asked jokingly again.
"Not so soon. When that day comes, I will definitely have to invite you!"
"Okay, then the teacher will be waiting!"
"… "
