Zhao Dong greeted politely, "Squad leader, long time no see."
The two smiled and shook hands.
In order to show their close relationship with Yang Mengli, the Hornets sounded like a host, "Mengli, this is Zhao Dong, do you remember? When I was in school, he was the sports committee member of our class. He played basketball very well. He seemed to be good at it.
Did it ever make you cry?"
Yu Zhi cursed in a low voice from the side, "Grandson, I don't want to open any pot."
Yang Mengli seemed not to hear, so he walked forward and asked after a long time, "How are you lately?"
The tone of this sentence was complicated, and Zhao Dong really didn't know how to answer.
This is also the reason why he doesn't want to come to the class reunion, because he doesn't know how to face his past self.
The five-year military career was like a melting pot to him.
His beliefs, personality, and code of conduct have completely changed. He is completely different from what he was in high school.
Now that I see my classmates from back then, what can I say about those days?
Fortunately, Gao Shanshan came to the rescue in time and took the initiative to grab Zhao Dong's arm. "What are you doing so stupidly? Music committee member. I think you were sitting in the front row at that meeting. Don't you remember?"
Zhao Dong echoed a few words to avoid embarrassment.
Yang Mengli turned her eyes and looked at Gao Shanshan without saying anything.
Soon, she walked ahead alone and entered the hotel.
Huang Feng greeted and followed quickly, "Meng Li, slow down and pay attention to the steps!"
Gao Shanshan sighed on the side, "Tsk tsk tsk, you are worthy of being from a high-ranking family. Look at this temperament and arrogance. You are still the same as before, a goddess!"
Zhao Dong smiled, Yang Mengli was indeed proud, but compared to Sophie, he was naturally dwarfed.
Already accustomed to Sophie's temperament as a goddess, Yang Mengli only made him stunned for a moment, and he soon came to his senses.
Seeing Gao Shanshan not moving, he joked: "What's wrong, are you jealous?"
Gao Shanshan's expression remained unchanged, "Would I be jealous of you? You think so!"
With that said, Gao Shanshan took Yu Zhi with her other hand, and the three of them entered the hotel closely behind.
Zhao Dong found that the quality here was not low, and the names of the hotel's private rooms were also very distinctive, all using place names.
For example, the private room where they ate, Tianzhou Hall.
When you get out of the elevator, a waiter will lead you. When you enter, you will see a large round table for twenty or thirty people. Many people have already arrived.
Yu Zhi was recognized as soon as he entered the door.
Someone knowingly ridiculed him, "Oh my gosh, isn't this Yu Zhi? You look like a dog, and you wear a suit, how can you make a fortune?"
As he spoke, Yu Zhi was pulled over.
On the contrary, Zhao Dong stood there without even a person saying hello.
Gao Shanshan felt a little uncomfortable. Zhao Dong was the star of the school when he went to school, and he was the center of attention wherever he went.
Unexpectedly, when he arrived at the class reunion, no one greeted him.
She muttered angrily, "You said you were too, but I said hello to you yesterday and you didn't clean up before you came."
Zhao Dong looked indifferent, "How can anyone think highly of me if I dress like a dog? Okay, go and socialize. I don't like this kind of occasion. If you hadn't pulled me, I wouldn't have come."
"
Just as he was talking, Gao Shanshan was already pulled over by a group of girls.
Zhao Dong was not embarrassed at all and sat alone on the sofa next to him.
He has seen a lot of strong winds and waves, so the small scene in front of him will naturally not have any impact on him.
Soon, Zhao Dong discovered an acquaintance.
In the class back then, he was a relatively good group to play with, but they all sat on the sofa in the corner of the box and seemed a bit out of place.
Just like back then, the class was obviously divided into three small circles.
There is a circle for girls, there is a circle for boys like the Hornets, and there is another circle for Zhao Dong.
As for the small circle around Zhao Dong, most of them belong to the unsatisfactory kind.
Self-employed, small supermarket owner, small noodle shop owner, or white-collar worker.
Unlike Huang Feng's place, there are small leaders of government agencies, free-spirited people from well-to-do families, and entrepreneurial parties with small successes in their careers.
In short, they were the group that was active in front of everyone in school because of their out-of-the-box personalities.
In society, he became low-key because of his poor circumstances.
Someone recognized Zhao Dong, and there was a small commotion in the dull circle.
"Hey, Dongzi, I haven't seen you for several years!"
"Where can I make a fortune?"
"It's just that you are so careless. You went to join the army after graduation and didn't even say hello to your classmates when you came back from the army!"
"I have to punish you with a few more drinks today!"
The three teams seem to get along well with each other, but there are some obvious boundaries.
Girls talk about nothing more than family, husband, big-name clothes, and imported cosmetics.
In Huang Feng's circle, they talked loudly about cars, houses, and careers, and from time to time they would hang around a group of female classmates.
On the other hand, Zhao Dong mostly talked about some past events and friendship between classmates.
Someone brought up the conversation, "Hey, you think it's strange, there are quite a few girls in our class, but we don't even have a couple?"
"Haha, let alone the girls in our class, their quality is not high."
"Who said it? There are still beauties!"
"Who are you talking about, Gao Shanshan? She has been married a long time ago, two or three years ago, and I heard that her husband is still the leader."
"Yang Mengli is single, but don't worry about it. The goddess has great vision, how can she like us?"
"Besides, the monitor has been eyeing you for so many years, do you still have a chance?"
As he spoke, someone teased Zhao Dong, "Dongzi, I remember when we were in school, you and Yang Mengli had the best chance. Why didn't you fight for it?"
Zhao Dong ignored these silly jokes and was about to change the topic when he suddenly realized something was wrong and everyone turned their heads.
He also turned around and saw Yang Mengli walking over elegantly, holding up her long skirt.
The class beauty was naturally the focus of the audience. As she stood up, almost everyone looked over.
The private room that was bustling just now suddenly became quiet for a moment.
Immediately afterwards, a group of girls started whispering.
A group of men watched the fun and stared at the wasp, making jokes one after another.
Yang Mengli ignored so much and stepped forward with a smile, "Hello, old classmates."
The boys around Zhao Dong were all very talkative when they were bragging. When they saw the goddess coming forward, they were all intimidated. Not even one of them could stand up and speak.
Everyone had no choice but to look at Zhao Dong for help.
Zhao Dong had no choice but to stand up and said, "Hello, long time no see. You are getting more and more beautiful!"
Yang Mengli's eyes lit up, "Really?"
Zhao Dong said casually, "Really, if I saw you on the street, I would definitely not dare to recognize you!"
Yang Mengli didn't answer and turned to look at the boy next to Zhao Dong.
The boy was suddenly enveloped in happiness and his face turned red. He was confused about how to answer the call when his sleeve was suddenly pulled.
He stood up hurriedly and smiled awkwardly, "Hello Yang Mengli, long time no see."
Yang Mengli was slightly surprised and greeted him with a smile.
Seeing him standing there and giggling, Yang Mengli could only say: "Classmate, can you give me your position?"
Only then did the boy react and hurriedly sat aside.
Yang Mengli straightened her skirt, sat down beside Zhao Dong, then turned around with a smile, "Don't you dare to admit it? Weren't you very brave back then?"
