Chapter 480 Class Reunion (Part 1)
...After everyone sat down, Chang Fangtao said: "Liu Dong, if I had known you were so rich, I wouldn't have looked for this place! It would be great to eat at Hailong!"
Hailong Hotel is the only three-star foreign-related tourist hotel in Qingzhou, and Liu Dong naturally knows it.¥f
"If you are willing to go, I have no problem!" Liu Dong said with a smile. Now even if he spends a year in a five-star hotel, it will only be a drop in his net worth! Let alone a three-star hotel in a county-level city.
Hotel!
"This is what you said!" Chang Fangtao said.
"Of course! I've never failed to keep my word!" Liu Dong nodded. In fact, he didn't want to eat here. This small restaurant didn't even have a private room. They were a group of classmates getting together and making noise in a place like this.
It's so noisy that it can't help but affect others, and it makes you feel uncomfortable eating it.
"Okay, brothers, don't sit still, let's go to Hailong!"
Looking at Chang Fangtao standing up, Liu Fangfei couldn't help but said: "You guys really go, isn't it nice to be in this restaurant?"
"Liu Dong is treating me today, and you don't have to pay for it, so you don't have to feel bad! Besides, Mei Xue, who is the most qualified to feel bad, hasn't come back yet!"
Upon hearing what Chang Fangtao said, everyone who knew the relationship between Mei Xue and Liu Dong looked towards Liu Dong!
Noticing everyone's looks, Liu Dong did not continue their conversation. He stood up and said, "Okay. Let's go!"
With that said, he was the first to walk out. Mei Xue was now just his first love in high school. Now that so many years have passed, the good times have long become memories buried deep in his heart!
Seeing Liu Dong leaving, everyone looked at each other and quickly followed him!
"My car can only carry four people, what should I do with the rest?" Liu Dong asked after walking out with the restaurant owner's reluctant eyes.
"Hehe. It's very simple. We boys will take Liu Dong's Land Rover, and all the girls will take Liu Fangfei's Santana!" Chang Fangtao said with a smile.
"Liu Fangfei drove here too?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"I drive my dad's car! But it can't compare with a big Land Rover like yours!"
After everyone joked for a while, they all got in the car. Because of the promise made to Chang Fangtao, Liu Dong sat in the passenger seat this time, allowing himself, an old classmate, to experience the addiction of driving a million-dollar luxury car.
Hailong Hotel is next to Qingzhou Railway Station, not far from where they first met. It took only ten minutes for a few people to arrive.
Although there were a lot of people eating at noon, Liu Dong and the others could easily get a private room. After everyone ordered their dishes, they started chatting with each other.
"Hey. Liu Dong, what are you doing in Quancheng now? It's only been a few years. You even bought a Land Rover?" Liu Fangfei asked curiously.
This question was also the most concerning to everyone here, so when they heard her ask, they all stopped talking and looked towards Liu Dong.
"Yes, tell us quickly!"...
After Liu Dong glanced at everyone, he smiled and said: "Actually, it's nothing. Now I run an antique shop in Quancheng...!"
"You also run an antique shop?" After suddenly interrupting Liu Dong, Chang Fangtao's eyes widened.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Liu Dong asked in surprise.
"Now Chang Fangtao is also running an antique shop on Yunmenshan Road with his uncle!" Xie Xiao smiled and said the reason.
"So the two of us are still together?" Liu Dong smiled after being surprised.
"It seems that we should have a good communication when we find an opportunity!" Chang Fangtao agreed with a smile. He was also quite surprised by this unexpected news.
"Hey, that's not right, Liu Dong! I remember, didn't you do sculpture when you were in Quancheng? Why are you doing antiques now?" As a friend who dropped out of school to go to Quancheng with Liu Dong, Xie Xiao asked about Liu Dong's initial situation.
I still know a little bit.
"Haha, now I still do sculpture, but I also deal in antiques! If any of you go to Quancheng, you can come to me at any time! All meals and lodging are included!" Liu Dong said with a smile.
Liu Dong's words suddenly made the atmosphere in the private room become heated.
…
Soon, the dishes they ordered were brought out one by one. After the nine of them drank two or three glasses of wine together, the atmosphere that was slightly estranged because of Liu Dong's unexpected fortune dissipated!
"Hey, Liu Dong, tell us, how have you lived these years? Let us learn from it too!" Xie Xiao said.
"Yes, Liu Dong! Tell me!" Everyone cheered.
Liu Dong didn't refuse, "Actually, there's nothing to say. I was miserable at the beginning. Xie Xiao knows this!"
Hearing this, Xie Xiao nodded with a hint of emotion, "That's true. When Liu Dong, Zhao Xiaodong, and You Qiang and I first arrived in Quancheng, our combined money was less than five hundred yuan. Again.
In addition, since we have no education, no diploma, and are not even adults yet, basically no company is willing to hire us. When we have no choice, we can only work on construction sites without even a place to sleep at night.”
"Later, I worked with Liu Dong for a month, and after saving some money, I left! Later, we cleaned dishes in a small restaurant, posted small advertisements, and slept in parks and bridges at night. We persisted like this for more than a month.
, I really couldn’t hold on, so I came back because I couldn’t bear the pain. Liu Dong fell in love with carving at that time, so he stayed!”
Speaking of this experience, Xie Xiao still felt sad and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Liu Dong nodded, took Xie Xiao's words and continued: "After Xie Xiao left, I set up a stall selling wood carvings on the antique street in Quancheng. Because my craftsmanship was not good at the beginning, I often couldn't finish my meal.
Suddenly, when I couldn't bear the hunger anymore, I only relied on drinking water to satisfy my hunger. Later, God opened my eyes and I met a senior in the industry (Uncle Long). He introduced me to the art and taught me the art of carving. After a while
After more than years of hard work, my level gradually improved and I gradually started to earn income. Then I got better and better and made more money."
"In addition, because I was in an antique city and was exposed to it, I gradually became interested in collecting antiques. At the beginning, I was afraid of being noticed, so I just didn't buy them. Then I gradually learned more about them and started to buy some interesting ones myself.
I am very lucky with expensive items. In the first half of the year, I accidentally bought a snuff bottle from the third generation of the Qing Dynasty and sold it for more than three million yuan...!"
"Wow...!"
"What……?"
"More than three million...!!"...
Everyone was in an uproar, their faces full of shock, but most of them were envious!
More than three million. Most of their families who were born in rural areas or in the county of Qingzhou are not wealthy. More than three million is an astronomical figure that is unimaginable to them, just like ten million or one hundred million.
"Later I used the money to buy an antique shop, and then I became who I am now!"
Liu Dong did not tell all the truth, but slightly processed it based on the actual situation and came up with a script that was relatively easy for these old classmates to accept.
Even so, it was sensational enough!
"Liu Dong, you are so awesome!" Liu Fangfei said with a blushing face in admiration. Of course, she was excited.
"What's great about it? I'm just lucky. If I hadn't happened to pick up a big leak, I wouldn't have the results I have now!" Liu Dong said quickly.
"Hey, why don't I have Liu Dong's luck?" Chang Fangtao sighed. He started hanging out with his uncle on the antique street of Yunmenshan Road in Qingzhou after graduating from high school. It turned out that it has been almost four years.
There are millions of large leaks, but even tens of thousands of small leaks have not been picked up.
Comparing Liu Dong's achievements, how could Chang Fangtao not be extremely envious and discouraged at the same time?
"Don't think about it, there is no grass growing on your ancestral graves!" Faced with his friend's complaints, Xie Xiao mocked unceremoniously.
"By the way, Xie Xiao! Where are Zhao Xiaodong and You Qiang now? When I went to the construction site to find them later, they had already left!" Liu Dong asked.
"Oh, Zhao Xiaodong now has a store in the Flower, Bird, Insect and Fish Market in Quancheng, and his life is pretty good! You Qiang went to Qingdao. He has relatives there. I don't know exactly what he does! He also
Haven’t been back for two years!”
After listening to Xie Xiao's words, Liu Dong nodded. Then he followed Xie Xiao and asked for Zhao Xiaodong's contact information and address. Since his old classmate was in Quancheng, Liu Dong naturally had no reason not to visit him!
"What about the other people in our dormitory, what are they doing now?" Liu Dong continued.
"Wang Hua studied at Xi'an Jiaotong University, Zheng Feng was admitted to Shandong Normal University, Gu Liang was admitted to Qingdao Ocean University, and Wen Keng was admitted to Shanghai East China Normal University. There were 10 brothers in our dormitory.
Four of them were admitted to college, and the remaining Liu Lei followed his sister to work in Guangzhou, and Sun Jianliang went to Hong Kong!" Xie Xiao said.
"Sun Jianliang went to Hong Kong?" Liu Dong said in surprise.
"It's really a legend when talking about this! ... I heard that Grandpa Sun Jianliang was a wealthy family in Tanfang Town, Qingzhou. His family was very rich and he had several wives. During the liberation, in order to avoid disaster, his family ran away
When I arrived in Hong Kong, I left in such a hurry that I left behind Sun Jianliang’s grandmother’s room! Now that the reform and opening up has begun, the old man is still alive, so I asked someone to come over and pick up the whole family!”
After listening, Liu Dong nodded. Although this kind of thing is rare here, it has happened more than a dozen times. Anyway, it is either in Taiwan or Hong Kong, Southeast Asia and the United States, and it is basically this version.
"Hey, Liu Dong, you asked everyone in your dormitory, why didn't you ask Mei Xue, you are a couple! Moreover, when you left without saying goodbye, Mei Xue was sad for a while!" Liu Fangfei suddenly said.
When they were in high school, Liu Fangfei and Mei Xue were sisters who shared the same bunk bed in the same dormitory. They had a very close relationship! Now that Liu Dong has returned home in glory, he looks like a successful person. In addition, he is stable and knows everything. A rare good match, Liu Fangfei doesn’t want her good sister to miss this fate! (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
