Chen Ran's university class was a "big class" with seventy or eighty people in it. In addition, many people brought their significant other to attend, so the total number of people attending this gathering was over one hundred.
There are ten large round tables in Fenghe Hall. The sizes and configurations of these ten tables are all the same, but the placement is particular. There is one table at the front close to the stage, and the other nine tables are arranged in a 3×
The square array of 3 is a little behind.
This arrangement undoubtedly highlights the first table.
That table became the so-called "main table".
Not everyone can sit at the head table. If it is a company annual meeting, the person sitting at the head table must be the president or vice president. If it is an executive dinner, the person sitting at the head table must be the leader.
Now is the class reunion. Of course, the class cadres will not sit at the main table. After all, everyone has graduated and entered the society. The standard of measurement must not be based on the time in school, but the situation after entering the society to determine who will sit at the main table.
.
In other words, those who can sit at the main table are those who have prospered after graduation. They are either powerful or rich, whether it is your own or from your family, even if you have a great godfather.
It counts.
Sitting at the main table itself is a reflection of one's own strength.
So everyone wants to sit at the main table, but whether they want to do so is one thing; whether they can or dare to do so is another matter entirely.
However, Chen Ranke had no idea about the main table. She pulled Ling Yuji towards the back, intending to find a random table to sit down at.
result……
"Chen Ran, Chen Ran, don't leave. Let's sit at that table together." Wu Qian ran to Chen Ran, took Chen Ran's hand, and pointed to the main table.
"This..." Chen Ran glanced at Ling Yuji. Seeing that Ling Yuji had no objection, she nodded slowly and said, "Okay."
"Walk."
Wu Qian happily pulled Chen Ran to the main table.
In fact, Wu Qian's meaning is also very simple. Aren't you Chen Ran beautiful? Aren't you the school belle? Now you are sitting at the main table. Whoever is good-looking has an advantage. If you eat this table, I will let you do this.
The school beauty has completely turned into a joke!
Xu Caikun sat at the main seat of the main table as a matter of course. As for the other seats, no one was seated yet.
Seeing Chen Ran coming, Xu Caikun quickly stood up, pulled out the chair next to him and said, "Chen Ran, come and sit here."
"No, I'll just sit here." Chen Ran politely declined Xu Caikun's invitation and sat down on the seat two chairs away from Xu Caikun's right. Ling Yuji sat on Chen Ran's right.
Wu Qian and You Qianren sat in the middle seats between Chen Ran and Xu Caikun.
Others also took their seats one after another.
The main table was quickly filled up, and they were all people who seemed to be doing well. At least everything from clothing to watches and jewelry were famous brands. Everyone had bright faces and talked loudly about everything from the current world situation to small promotions within the company.
What he said is clear and logical.
The so-called class reunion is originally a matter of communicating feelings and reminiscing about the good times in school, but when the classmates all enter the society, the party will change somewhat. After graduation, everyone enters the society and has a good time.
Yes, there are those who are not doing well, and there are also those who were not doing well before but are now doing well. Especially this third type of people, they will be very eager to let others know that they are doing well. Many people will behave in words and deeds.
Sometimes, they show some information intentionally or unintentionally, such as tens of thousands of watches on their wrists, diamond rings on their fingers, promotions, salary increases, new cars or new houses just bought, etc., they are all
Show off capital.
This is all human nature, just like some people published in QQ space with the content of "iphone.xs.max is not easy to use at all". Of course, this comment must be accompanied by "
iphone.xs.max" small tail.
Let's all ask ourselves, if you have made it, become famous, and meet your old classmates, do you have the urge to tell them?
Therefore, Chen Ran and Ling Yuji didn't have much resentment towards these high-minded talkers at the same table.
But they won't join in either.
Chen Ran was browsing Weibo with his head down, while Ling Yuji felt a little hungry, so he picked up the side dishes on the table with chopsticks and ate them one bite at a time.
Many people watching secretly swallowed their saliva.
After all, it's almost seven o'clock now. The organizer Xu Caikun is busy talking about his experience and feelings of studying in the United States and how many entrepreneurs he has met. He doesn't even bother to serve people. There are only a few plates of cold jellyfish heads on the table.
The others were already hungry when they saw Ling Yuji eating so delicious cold dishes. But they also wanted to show that they were elegant and well-educated, so they could only endure it. At most, they drank two sips of tea.
No one touched the drinks or wine.
Soon, Ling Yuji had finished cooking several plates of side dishes.
This made other people hate it, and also regretted whether they should have taken two bites.
At this time, Xu Caikun also noticed Ling Yuji's movements. He frowned, looked at Ling Yuji sideways, and said: "Sir, are you being a little rude? You didn't use your chopsticks when you didn't look at others. Why are you eating alone?
What do you mean?"
"Oh, then I won't eat it." Ling Yuji shrugged nonchalantly and put the chopsticks on the dishes.
Xu Caikun's face darkened. Ling Yuji had already finished eating and now he said he would not eat anymore. Moreover, his attitude did not save Xu Caikun any face. This made Xu Caikun feel that he had lost face in front of his classmates, and even felt that Chen Ran was looking at him.
Everything has changed.
Xu Caikun glared at Ling Yuji fiercely.
It's just that his glaring look, paired with the narrow phoenix eyes and purple eye shadow, doesn't look ferocious at all. Instead, he looks a bit like a cute girl acting coquettishly with her boyfriend...
Seeing this, You Qianren felt that he had a good opportunity to step on Ling Yuji and get in touch with Xu Caikun, so he asked: "Ling Yuji, what do you do?"
In You Qianren's view, Ling Yuji was probably a newbie who had just stepped out of school and entered the society. His monthly salary was enough to cover four or five thousand. In a place like Longcheng, he would not be able to support his two sons.
"Me," Ling Yuji glanced at You Qianren and said, "It's hard to say, because my job has changed a lot."
Isn't it a big change? Ling Tian wants Ling Yuji to take over his duties as soon as possible, so in the past few months, he has arranged for him to stay in various family properties, half a month here, a month there, just to let him understand quickly
The family business is also a test and exercise for his abilities.
However, when these words reached the ears of those around them who did not know Ling Yuji, it changed into another meaning.
There is no stable job.
You Qianren rubbed his chin and said in a preaching tone: "Ling Yuji, you can't do this. We men must protect four things: the land under our feet, our parents at home, the women in our arms, and the brothers around us!
You said you don't have a stable job, how can you give your girlfriend a bright future? Since she has chosen to follow you, you can't let her suffer."
The underlying meaning of these words is nothing more than saying that Ling Yuji made Chen Ran suffer with him.
After finishing speaking, You Qianren looked directly at Ling Yuji and asked, "How are you doing? Are you interested in having sex with me?"
