ps: There are a lot of things to do these days since school starts, otherwise I would like to write more, haha, the speed is very slow!!
Ten minutes later, Shi Zhong drove to the Pearl of the Sea. This is a super entertainment city that integrates catering and leisure. It is located in a prime location and the surrounding area is very prosperous. This can be seen from the various mid- to high-end cars in the parking lot.
The subject of consumption.
He had just graduated from college for a year, and most of his classmates were still far from successful in their careers. Shi Zhong felt that choosing such a gathering place was a bit extravagant.
When he walked out of the parking lot and came to the Pearl of the Sea, he quickly saw several familiar figures, all of whom were classmates attending the party, some of whom he had not seen for a year.
"Shi Zhong!" At this time, a handsome and gentle young man spotted him and came over with a smile on his face, saying, "This is your fault. As the vice chairman of the student union, you showed up late. It should have been you who initiated it."
You should organize this party, why can’t you be seen as soon as I graduate?”
This young man's name is Li Fei, the organizer of this event. He was very active when he was in college. However, Shi Zhong doesn't like this person very much because he was a bit snobby when he was in college. It is said that he has a small fortune now.
Several other people also came over. Although they hadn't seen each other for almost a year, they were very warm to each other.
It was obvious that Li Fei was waiting for someone here. There were only two or three people who could let him stand in front of the Pearl of the Sea to greet him, so it was easy to guess.
Li Fei is a smart man. He did not stay here alone waiting for others. Instead, he led the way while chatting and laughing, accompanying everyone into the Pearl of the Sea. There is a careful business center on the fifth floor, which can accommodate thirty to fifty people.
The meeting is in progress and has been booked.
It was getting dark outside at this moment, and almost all the classmates who came to the party were almost here.
The arrival of several people immediately made the atmosphere lively, and many people came over to welcome them. Being able to be together again gave a feeling of time passing and space being displaced, and it vaguely overlapped with some scenes from college.
It has been a year since graduation, and everyone is already in their twenties or fives. Several of them are already married, and two of them have become baby mothers and fathers.
Everyone has their own different life trajectories, but in general, most of the students are ordinary people. The ideals and ambitions of the past have been polished by time and have almost completely disappeared, and they have become ordinary in the ordinary life.
The dream has gone far away, and most people have clearly realized that they are just ordinary people.
Shi Zhong was taken to the other side by Li Fei. After careful observation, he found that the students here were either successful in their careers or people with some family background. Anyway, it could be seen that at least they had nothing to do with poverty.
At this time, Sun Zuting has not come yet. Logically speaking, the time has passed and he should come too.
"Everyone, wait a moment. Teacher Sun has something to do at the temporary school, so let's just wait a moment!" Liu Peng walked in, holding a mobile phone in his hand, high-spirited, and it seemed that he was the organizer of this event.
As soon as Shi Zhong sat down, someone said: "Shi Zhong, you are the last at this table. It seems that you will not be able to escape after three cups of self-punishment!"
"Three glasses are too little, and you underestimate Shi Zhong's drinking capacity." Bai Ling was also sitting here, with squinting eyes, a slender figure, graceful curves, and touching sex appeal.
"Whoever wants to punish me can come over and fight with me!" Shi Zhong squinted his eyes.
"We're going all out, let's see if we can't knock you down!" Everyone knew Shi Zhong's power, and they all shouted together.
Liu Peng has a certain background in this city and is naturally in this small group. He said casually: "I didn't expect that the traffic is not bad now. I thought it wouldn't be that fast for you to take a taxi!"
As soon as these words came out, it was a bit awkward. Everyone present knew about Liu Peng's grievances with Shi Zhong when he was in college. Now he is developing smoothly in this city. At this moment, he accidentally pointed out that Shi Zhong came here by taxi.
The situation is actually somewhat obvious.
Other students also noticed the situation here and looked over, but Shi Zhong just smiled indifferently and said nothing. In his eyes, Liu Peng was just a clown, and he and he were in two different worlds.
There is no need to get angry with him. Of course, if he presses harder and harder, don't blame yourself for being rude.
Bai Ling talked about cosmetics and several brand-name clothes with two female classmates. The others also told some interesting stories from the past. The brief silence just now was over, and the atmosphere became lively again.
However, after what happened just now, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle. No one mentioned punishing Shi Zhong again, but there were more words surrounding Liu Peng.
Although Shi Zhong was a famous figure in college, after leaving campus, none of that mattered. Nowadays, career success is the most important thing. A person's success is measured by money. This is the reality of society.
From time to time, there are glances from the surroundings. This seems to be a special small circle. The students here are all students who are currently doing well, but at this moment, Shi Zhong has a tendency to be marginalized.
Shi Zhong has always been very calm about this, but in the end he stood up and left and sat with some other classmates. He didn't want to be labeled as a special group by other classmates.
Cosmetics and designer clothes are always the favorite topics of female students, while male students talk about a wide range of topics ranging from football to news, current affairs and politics.
Half an hour later, Sun Zuting came. First he said sorry to everyone, and said he was extremely sorry. There was something temporarily delayed at school and he couldn't leave.
Shi Zhong could see that when Sun Zuting said these words, his face was a little ugly, and he seemed to be absent-minded about the gathering.
"Teacher Sun, come on, come on, sit over here!" Liu Peng smiled and invited Sun Zuting to sit over them. Although his attitude was respectful, he was no longer as reserved as he was in school. After all, he was now considered a successful person.
Sun Zuting was invited to speak first, and then several initiators of this gathering delivered speeches one after another. The atmosphere was very warm, and then everyone divided into several small circles and chatted freely.
It took a long time for everyone to leave the small business center, and they were about to toast to celebrate the reunion. No deliberate arrangements were made, and the dignity and intimacy of each table were clearly revealed.
Shi Zhong did not sit with the small group of Bai Ling, Liu Peng and others, but sat at another table naturally.
After another speech, the rest was very casual. Some people were toasting at various wine tables, and some were surrounded in front of the wine table. It was difficult to move a step, and they were toasted one after another.
A lot of things have happened in the past year, 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 and always requires overtime work, but the salary is pitiful.
One female classmate said that her boyfriend is a department manager of a well-known company, another classmate said that her husband has been promoted to the vice president of the company, and some people said that their fiancée is the daughter of a bank executive.
And more people were silent after listening to it. Many people's lives are not very satisfactory.
One of the female classmates looked particularly haggard. Shi Zhong remembered that her name seemed to be Lu Xin. Some people said that she married someone she didn't like and was not happy after her marriage. Her husband drank all day long. Some classmates passed by her city.
When I visited her, I saw bruises and scars on her body.
"If you need any help, you can come to me..." Shi Zhong felt sympathy for this very haggard female classmate. He still remembered her shy and innocent appearance in college, standing outside the football field and waving vigorously to cheer him on.
, he is now in a shabby state, and is obviously not living a good life.
It could be seen that her life was really unsatisfactory, so she nodded sadly but gratefully, and whispered thank you.
"Shi Zhong, you should change yourself first..." The female classmate who said that her husband had been promoted to the vice president of the company said rudely under the influence of alcohol, "Look at how Liu Peng has developed now.
Good luck, I was indeed not as good as you back then, but now, I am already a prominent figure in Zhouhang City!"
The students at this table all looked at Shi Zhong at the same time, and then looked at the table where Liu Peng was sitting not far away. There were all students who were doing very well now.
"Shi Zhong, I'm not talking about you. You were indeed a figure in college, but everything will change after you leave campus. You can't do it unless you work hard." At this table, the male classmate who said that his fiancée is the daughter of a bank executive also
He looked like he was preaching, and he was sincere and respectful of his teachings.
When talking about the people at Liu Peng's table, some students here lamented, saying that some people were far inferior to them when they were in school, but now they can no longer compare.
There are also people who are cynical and extreme, talking drunkenly about those people who return home in fine clothes and show off their wealth.
Some female classmates joked to Shi Zhong, saying that luckily she only secretly liked him when she was in school, but now she regrets rejecting Liu Peng's pursuit.
It's still the same city, and it's still the same people, but everyone's mood is completely different after they get together again.
