Chapter 163 The Emotions Sour
"Yuanzhou, I agreed that we will gather together tonight. Fatty Wang is close to me and will be on call. I will call Zhao Yang later. He is now the director of the workshop, so there should be some temptation to have a meal."
After hearing Zhang Leshan's words, Du Yuanzhou was stunned. Whether he was intentional or unintentional, he obviously had contempt for Zhao Yang. Their relationship when they were in school was far better than his relationship with him.
With a hint of doubt, Du Yuanzhou put down the phone. Just as he saw Lin Jiayi staring at him with big eyes, he obviously agreed to him recklessly, and he was a little dissatisfied, making Du Yuanzhou a little confused.
After Lin Jiayi's explanation, Du Yuanzhou suddenly realized. With his family's connection, Zhang Leshan was not sent to the factory or mine after graduation, and was assigned to the imperial tomb area as a clerk. Although it was not as good as the top, it was at least much better than being sent to the factory or mine in some remote areas.
Unfortunately, in the storm of Soviet Russia last year, his family's relationship was in the wrong team and was soon arranged to retire to the Old Cadre Bureau. Zhang Leshan, who was originally proud, was stunned. He had relied on his back to take advantage of his backing and helped him make many small moves behind his back to film the leader.
Now the former leader has also been transferred away. The new leader took office, so it is naturally time to settle the accounts after autumn, so Zhang Leshan was thrown to the Archives Bureau. He knew what he was doing after hearing the name of the Archives Bureau. Zhang Leshan could be considered a tragic trip to his grandma's house and had no choice but to gamble. He was too big to bet, but now he was small, and he could only admit defeat. No wonder he was hurt by the insult.
It’s a coincidence. In an interview, Lin Jiayi and Li Xiaoyun met. We were all classmates from Yan University back then, and Li Xiaoyun was particularly refreshed. She and Zhang Leshan have been in love, so naturally told Zhang Leshan. Regarding Lin Jiayi, Zhang Leshan had a hint of peeping at that time, but unfortunately Du Yuanzhou took the lead!
Now is the time when he is in a state of turmoil and he is not in the mood to pay attention to Lin Jiayi. As the uncrowned king, the reporter is very powerful, but he thinks he is just a little person and cannot be involved in the daily newspaper, so there is no need to force a relationship.
Originally, Li Xiaoyun and Lin Jiayi made an appointment. Everyone had the opportunity to get together, but it was left alone. Although Li Xiaoyun was a little snobbish, it was not too bad overall. Since she worked in the logistics department of the provincial textile factory and was not busy with work, she turned to go shopping next door, so naturally the two women got closer.
Inadvertently, when the two were together, Lin Jiayi was recognized and told Li Xiaoyun. This Li Xiaoyun is also a person with a sensible look on the surface, but she secretly told Zhang Leshan in private. Zhang Leshan was immediately overjoyed, as if she had discovered a golden treasure.
I heard that his former classmate was the daughter of the provincial party committee's propaganda minister's family, so his mind naturally became active. In fact, there was nothing wrong with this. For a little person like Zhang Leshan who was mingling at the bottom of the officialdom, it was really not easy to have such an opportunity, so he would naturally find ways to contact the other party. Maybe because of this relationship, a carp jumped over the dragon gate. This is a good thing for him to find even with a lantern.
After that, Li Xiaoyun became more enthusiastic than before. Zhang Leshan also called Lin Jiayi for an appointment for dinner. From their constant tentative words, Lin Jiayi guessed that they already knew their family background. Like Li Xiaoyun before, Zhang Leshan even made the appointment sour, but now he came to the door, and he couldn't help feeling bored.
But after all, he is a classmate! Although Lin Jiayi was unhappy and didn't say anything, he refused Zhang Leshan's invitation. Zhang Leshan was close to Lin Jiayi, and in addition to being flattering, he might not have no other thoughts such as wealth and sex.
Yesterday, Li Xiaoyun asked Lin Jiayi to go shopping together. Lin Jiayi mentioned casually, saying that Du Yuanzhou came to Shengjing for a business trip. After returning, Li Xiaoyun told Zhang Leshan.
While jealous, Zhang Leshan immediately remembered a roundabout tactic, so he took the initiative to call Du Yuanzhou to invite him. This is also something that Lin Jiayi was unhappy.
Damn! This Zhang Leshan seems to be too weird. But since he agreed, Du Yuanzhou of course could not call back and refuse.
While the two were talking about these things, Zhang Leshan over there was very happy, hoping to make Lin Jiayi well and find a tough backer. Although he had a little regret when he knew that Du Yuanzhou and Lin Jiayi were together, he was much better than not having a long relationship with his classmates.
Especially when I heard that Du Yuanzhou was already the executive deputy mayor, Zhang Leshan felt very uneasy. When he graduated, he and Zhao Yang were assigned to Shengjing, while Du Yuanzhou was assigned to the countryside. To be honest, he felt a little superior at that time. Unexpectedly, although the place was a bit remote, he was now the executive deputy mayor with real power. When compared with Du Yuanzhou, Zhang Leshan really felt what it means to die if people compare people, and to throw goods.
But he was just a small deputy mayor in the countryside, so he would not be jealous. Thinking of Lin Jiayi's family background, he couldn't help but secretly whisper, Du Yuanzhou was really lucky. The poor boy back then actually climbed the Golden Phoenix on the branch, and had a father-in-law of the propaganda minister, and his career in the future would be accurate and open!
Looking at Li Xiaoyun who was looking in the mirror and slashing her eyebrows, he hoped that his girlfriend and Lin Jiayi would change their identities! Unfortunately, it seemed impossible.
"Wife, if you don't like to go, then don't go." Du Yuanzhou hugged Lin Jiayi's shoulders and said softly.
"Go! I'm all old classmates anyway, so I'm just a little pretentious! I feel that when people enter society, they have changed too much and I'm not used to it." Lin Jiayi thought about it and decided to accompany him.
It was almost evening, and the two drove straight to the Haoke Hotel in the city center.
Haokelai Hotel was one of the best hotels in Shengjing at that time. Originally, Du Yuanzhou wanted to find a specialty shop, but the location of the class reunion was not important, and there was no need to talk about the show. What was important was the relationship between college, but Zhang Leshan said at that time that everyone had finally got together, so it could not be too simple. Du Yuanzhou thought about it and agreed.
What is the name of a beauty? How old is this year? Do you have a boyfriend?
As soon as I entered the hall, I saw a fat white man with a familiar back, wearing a suit and ties, standing by the front desk of the hotel, and was hilarious about the waiter at the front desk.
"Wang Zhihui, you came very early! You are lying to the little girl again!" Du Yuanzhou laughed, then shouted loudly.
Wang Zhihui is exactly the "Fatty Wang" mentioned on Zhang Leshan's phone. Because he is fat and has a bit of a blessing, his classmates like to call him Fatty Wang, and Wang Zhihui is not disgusted with it. As a result, the nickname of Fatty Wang seems to have become his name.
"Brother, you are here. I've been waiting for you for a long time." Fatty Wang turned around, came up, and said with a little exaggeration.
"I think you are a funny beauty! You are not waiting for me!" Du Yuanzhou pointed out without hesitation.
"Brother, you can't wrongly accuse me! You already have the beauty Lin around you, so you won't let me pursue the beauty. Beauty Lin, do you think so?" As he said that, he smiled teasingly at Lin Jiayi.
"You guys are quarreling, don't touch me!" Lin Jiayi did not directly respond to his joke and said with a smile.
After hearing what Wang Zhihui said, Du Yuanzhou glanced at the waiter. His delicate melon-shaped face was slightly decorated with pink, his eyebrows were delicate, his eyelashes were curly, and his big, watery eyes looked particularly charming. No wonder even Wang Zhihui was moved.
"Miss Lin, Yuanzhou! You have arrived too, thank you, I'm late..." At this time, Zhang Leshan and Li Xiaoyun also arrived. As soon as they met, Zhang Leshan exchanged greetings.
Seeing Fatty Wang standing next to him, he then asked, "Fatty Wang, why are you not thin at all? You can't find a beautiful woman like this."
"I guess I can't lose weight anymore. I've been working hard to chase beautiful women!" Wang Zhihui said with a smile, either not annoyed.
Under the guidance of the waiter, the five people walked to the booked room with laughter.
Soon, Zhao Yang, dressed in a simple manner, also came over, and his girlfriend was following him! Du Yuanzhou had never seen her before. Obviously, she only talked about her after graduation. His girlfriend was about the same age as him, with a medium figure and average appearance. Although she was dressed simply, she looked generous and decent, and she spoke gently and gentle.
"Director Zhao, you are too late. No matter how busy you are, you don't know how this is!" Zhang Leshan said bluntly.
After hearing what he said, Zhao Yang's face changed slightly, and then he quickly adjusted, "Haha, I just got off work and rushed over. The distance is really far, and the bus is crowded..."
"There are so many leaders who have broken factories. If you ask for a while, don't you give me a gift..." Zhang Leshan continued.
Seeing that Zhao Yang was a little embarrassed, Li Xiaoyun secretly pulled the corner of his clothes under the table and signaled Zhang Leshan not to say more. She sometimes felt that she had gone a little with her boyfriend.
"Haha, Zhao Yang, you are not right! When will you fall in love secretly? Don't say anything, are you going to have a sudden attack when you get married? I won't introduce you to everyone." Du Yuanzhou was beating beside him, haha, helping Zhao Yang to rescue him.
It seems that Zhang Leshan's contempt for Zhao Yang was not born today, otherwise he would not have noticed it when he said the first sentence just now. Even under such circumstances, Zhao Yang held back and even smiled at each other, which made Du Yuanzhou feel a little more favorable to Zhao Yang.
Zhao Yang also comes from the countryside. He originally thought that he could be assigned to a good unit after graduation. But he didn't expect to be assigned to Shengjing Machine Tool Factory directly. Even so, he was not satisfied with his job as a workshop director and his girlfriend also came from an ordinary working family.
When he was in college, Du Yuanzhou and Zhao Yang didn't get along much. In my impression, he worked very hard and had good grades! Zhang Leshan often asked Zhao Yang for advice, so the two got very close. Now, Zhang Leshan's attitude towards him seems to have a hint of contempt.
"Since you've started fighting, everyone feels like it's just a bunch of food, let's serve the food!" Lin Jiayi pulled Zhao Yang's girlfriend down and said in time
When Zhang Leshan heard Du Linjiayi's words, he immediately became interested and asked half-jokingly: "Yes, even if Miss Lin says something, we feel like we'll make it and let the waiter serve the food!"
Originally, this joke was nothing, but compared with the attitude towards Zhao Yang just now, the change was a bit big, with a hint of flattery in his tone, which was a bit too obvious.
After hearing this, Du Yuanzhou felt particularly unhappy, but soon laughed relieved. It did not exist in school. Once he came out of society, he experienced various things and human feelings, and became increasingly powerful in interpersonal communication. Even if the relationship between classmates was once innocent, utilitarian factors were inevitably mixed with.
But today Zhang Leshan's approach completely smashed the pure things he remembered, and it was very meaningful to step on them a few times.
"Yes, everyone is eating and drinking while chatting. How great! Order the dishes now!" Although the other party's method made him very unhooked, Du Yuanzhou still agreed.
"I have already arranged it, and now I'll let them serve the dishes! But I don't know if you like it or not. If you don't like it, let's add a few more dishes later!" Wang Zhihui, who was sitting next to him, said with a smile.
"Today you can eat with your stomach. Fatty Wang is different from the past, but he is the boss." Zhang Leshan praised the next sentence
After graduation, Wang Zhihui was sent to a large state-owned coal mine in the northwest. He had a good family background and grew up in a honey pot, so of course he couldn't bear the hardship. So he directly stopped paying and started some light industry trade.
In this era, trade involved many relationships, mainly relying on people to operate. In this way, it is inevitable that we need to make friends with people in the officialdom. Zhang Leshan used to work in the Light Industry Bureau, which happened to have a lot to do with trade, so the two of them had a lot of contact.
When the food and food were served on the table, everyone started to sing and laughing.
During the meal, Du Yuanzhou, Zhao Yang and Wang Zhihui were together, and they had a very scheming chat, as if they were back in college. It is said that society is a big dye vat that can control people, but there are also people who keep their true nature unchanged. For example, he and Zhao Yang, at least in terms of their feelings for classmates, were not very different when they were in the same room for study and study many years ago.
Even if Wang Zhihui went into business, it might be that the reason for going to do business! It has become much smoother than when he was in college, but that kind of sleekness can only be said to be mature in dealing with people. That kind of relationship has not changed at all, and there is no artificial feeling in front of Du Yuanzhou and others.
After chatting with Zhang Leshan for only a few words, Du Yuanzhou felt a sense of unbearable weight. His focus always turned to Lin Jiayi inadvertently, and he clearly felt his flattery and pleasing intention.
To be honest, after graduation, it should be said that several people still have the opportunity to get together, so they should be cherished. But some people have to mix so many utilitarian colors.
Fortunately, Zhao Yang and Wang Zhihui did not change much, otherwise this time the classmate's reunion would be even more depressed.
Chapter completed!
