Chapter 3: past and present

Views:

Although Ye Fan can't talk about the so-called successful career, but due to some reasons and experiences, he now has some capital in his hands. Not long ago, he happened to buy a Mercedes-Benz, which is more expensive than Liu Yunzhi's Toyota car in terms of price. Judging his status by this, he felt quite vulgar.

Ten minutes later, Ye Fan drove to the meeting place... Bright Moon City on the Sea.

This is a super entertainment city integrating catering and leisure. It is located in a prime location and the surrounding area is very prosperous. From the various mid-to-high-end cars in the parking lot, you can see the main body of consumption.

Just three years after graduating from university, most of the students are still not successful in their careers. Ye Fan felt that choosing such a meeting place was somewhat extravagant.

When he walked out of the parking lot and came to the Bright Moon City on the Sea, he soon saw several familiar figures, all of whom were classmates who had come to the party, and some of them hadn't seen each other for three years.

"Ye Fan!" At this time, a young man with a handsome and gentle appearance spotted him, and greeted him with a smile on his face, saying: "It's your fault, as the landlord of this city, you have delayed showing up, it should be your initiative It's right to organize this party."

This gentle-faced young man named Wang Ziwen is one of the organizers and initiators of this party. He was a very active figure in college. It is said that he has developed very smoothly in another city in the past three years, and his assets are already quite rich. .

A few other people also greeted them. Although they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they were very friendly.

It was obvious that Wang Ziwen was waiting for someone here, and the people he could stand in front of Bright Moon City on the Sea to greet him were only a limited number of two or three people, so it was easy to guess.

Wang Ziwen is a smart man, he didn't stay here to wait for others alone, but led the way while talking and laughing, and accompanied everyone into the Bright Moon City on the Sea. There is a small business center on the fifth floor, which can accommodate 30 to 50 people for meetings, and it has been reserved.

It was getting dark outside now, and the students who came to the party were almost all there.

The arrival of several people immediately made the atmosphere of the scene lively. Many people greeted them. Being able to get together again has a feeling of time passing and space dislocation. It overlaps with some scenes in college in a trance.

It's been three years since I graduated, and everyone is in their mid-twenties, a few of them are married, and two of them are mothers.

Everyone has their own different life trajectories, but generally speaking, most of the students are ordinary people. The ideals and ambitions of the past have been polished by time and are about to disappear completely, returning to ordinary life in ordinary life.

Dreams are gone, and most people are soberly aware that they are just ordinary people.

Ye Fan was taken to the other side by Wang Ziwen. After careful observation, he found that the students here were either successful in their careers or had some background in their families.

"Ye Fan, you came so late, you must be fined three cups."

"Three glasses are too few, and you underestimate Ye Fan's drinking capacity." Lin Jia was also sitting here, with Danfeng squinting, slender, curvaceous, and sexy.

"Which beauty wants to punish me?" Ye Fan also classified several male students into the ranks of beauties.

"You took advantage of us when you first came, and you will be punished severely!" A group of men and women unanimously spoke out and began to "sharpen their knives".

Liu Yunzhi has a certain background in the city, so he is naturally in this small group. He said casually, "I thought you would have to wait for a taxi for a while."

As soon as this remark came out, it was a bit cold. Everyone present knew Liu Yunzhi's grievances with Ye Fan when he was in college, and now he is developing very smoothly in this city, but at this moment he accidentally pointed out that Ye Fan came here by taxi, which is really obvious.

The other students also noticed the situation here and looked over here, but Ye Fan just smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.

"I'll go outside to pick up Zhou Yi." Wang Ziwen changed the subject, then turned and left.

Lin Jia talked about cosmetics with two female classmates, and they also talked about several famous brand clothes. Others also talked about some interesting things in the past.

However, after what happened just now, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate. No one mentioned to punish Ye Fan anymore, but there were more words surrounding Liu Yunzhi.

Although Ye Fan was a famous figure in college, but after leaving the campus, all that is unimportant. Now whether he is successful in his career is the most important thing.

From time to time, there are eyes from around, it seems that this is a special small circle, all the students here are currently developing well, but at this moment Ye Fan has a tendency to be marginalized.

Regarding this, Ye Fan has always been very calm, but in the end he stood up and left here, and sat down with some other students. He didn't want to be marked as a special group by other students.

Cosmetics and brand-name clothing are always the favorite topics of female students, while male students chat about a wide range of topics, from football to news and current affairs.

Half an hour later, the twenty-five people who had come to the party arrived. There were thirty-three students in the class, three of whom were studying abroad, while the other five failed to make it due to some special reasons.

Several initiators and organizers of this party delivered speeches one after another, and the atmosphere was very enthusiastic. Afterwards, everyone divided into several small circles and chatted freely.

It was a long time before everyone left the small business center, and they were about to raise their glasses to celebrate this reunion. Without deliberate arrangements, the relatives and relatives of each table are revealed.

Ye Fan did not sit with the small group of Lin Jia, Liu Yunzhi and others, but naturally sat at another table.

After another speech, the rest was very casual. Some people toasted among the wine tables, and some were surrounded in front of the wine tables, unable to move a step, and were toasted again and again.

A lot has happened in the past three years, and everyone has changed a lot. Perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, many students talked about their lives, some were proud and some were frustrated.

Some people hate that their boss is extremely harsh, always asking for overtime, but the salary is pitifully low.

A female classmate said that her boyfriend is a department manager of a famous company, another classmate said that her husband has been promoted to vice president of the company, and someone said that her fiancée is the niece of a bank executive.

And more people are silent after hearing it, and many people's lives are not very satisfactory.

Among them, a female classmate looked haggard. Some people said that she married a person she didn't like, and she was not happy after marriage. Her husband drank all day long. There were bruises on his body.

"If you need any help, please feel free to come to me..." Ye Fan felt sympathy for this haggard female classmate. He still remembered her shy and innocent appearance in college, standing outside the football field and waving vigorously to cheer for him.

Seeing that her life was really unsatisfactory, she nodded sadly and gratefully, and said thank you in a low voice.

"Ye Fan, you should change yourself first..." The female classmate who said that her husband has been promoted to the vice president of the company said a little bluntly under the influence of alcohol: "Look at how smoothly Liu Yunzhi is developing now."

The students at this table all looked at Ye Fan at the same time, and then looked at the table where Liu Yunzhi was not far away. There were all students who were developing very well.

"Ye Fan, it's not me talking about you. You were indeed a person in college, but everything will change after you leave campus. You can't do it without hard work." At this table, the male student who said that his fiancée is the niece of a bank executive also A preaching look.

When mentioning the people at Liu Yunzhi's table, some students here expressed emotion, saying that some people were far inferior to themselves when they were in school, but now they can no longer compare.

There are also people who are cynical and extreme, talking drunkenly, saying that those people returned home in rich clothes to show off their wealth.

Some female classmates even joked to Ye Fan, saying that fortunately they only secretly liked him when they were in school, but now they regret that they rejected Liu Yunzhi's pursuit back then.

It's still the same city and the same people, but after meeting again, everyone's state of mind is quite different.
