Chapter 159: Everyone Is Doing Well (4 Updates)

159

Everyone sitting at Xu Taiping's table looked like successful people. Some were in suits and leather shoes, and some were wearing expensive casual clothes. Only Xu Taiping was wearing an ordinary T-shirt and a pair of shorts, while Xia Jinxuan Because I went out with Xu Taiping early in the morning, without makeup, just wearing ordinary home clothes. Although she looks very stunning, in an era where faces and status are both important, simply being good-looking is still attractive. Be weaker.

"Mr. Chen, where have you made a fortune recently? I heard that you seem to be in the natural gas business?"

"Fortunately, I have been doing the natural gas business."

"You must be making good money, right? Looking at your outfit, you look like it's Armani. There's nothing that can't be worth more than 100,000 yuan, right?"

"Almost, Mr. Zheng, what have you been doing recently?"

"Me? I recently contracted projects and worked as a small foreman. I was the one who did the project on the land in our Tianrun New District!"

"That's incredible. Is it okay to make 1.8 million a year?"

"so far so good!!"

The people at the table were chatting about various topics, but the three things they talked about were career and making money. Xu Taiping’s classmates seemed to be doing well in their lives, some had made a lot of money, and some had become officials. , and some had very high social status. Xu Taiping counted the whole table and found that there were three bosses, two directors, and four other ministers and secretaries, which sounded pretty awesome.

As a small security guard, Xu Taiping felt that the gap between him and others was too big, so he didn't say much as soon as he sat down, and just listened to what others said. , holding a mobile phone and chatting with friends.

After chatting for more than half an hour, it seemed that these people really couldn't find anything to brag about. Suddenly one person turned the topic to Xu Taiping.

"Taiping, I remember you suddenly dropped out of school in the second semester of college. What happened? I remember that there were always some gangsters bullying you at that time. Could it be that you were afraid of being bullied and didn't dare to go to school? ?" someone asked.

"Absolutely. Something happened to my family at that time, and I didn't have the heart to study, so I dropped out of school and went to work in the south." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"You must have a hard time working part-time, right? After all, you were just a college student at that time and didn't know anything?" someone else asked.

"You don't have to study." Xu Taiping shrugged and said, "You have to study more when you are away from home. The more you learn, the more you will learn."

"But you have been out for so many years and you haven't made any progress. Why do you want to be a security guard? That's not a good future, right?" Someone asked.

"It's okay, I stay in school every day, I have room and board at school, I don't have to buy a car or a house, there's less pressure, I just need to make some money to support myself and my girlfriend," Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"Your girlfriend is so pretty. She would look even better if she put on makeup and some jewelry!" a female classmate said with a smile.

"My family is poor and I can't afford cosmetics or jewelry." Xia Jinxuan lowered her head and retorted directly.

"Taiping, this is your fault!" The boyfriend of the female classmate who spoke smiled and hugged his woman, and said, "This woman, natural beauty is important, but she also needs to maintain and dress up later, like My wife, I use the best cosmetics for her, and this jewelry, look at this necklace, I just bought it for her years ago, it looks so good on her!"

"This is Cartier's collection, isn't it cheap?" someone asked next to him.

"Fortunately, it's only a hundred thousand. Small money!"

The people around him once again focused on money, and Xu Taiping breathed a sigh of relief. He was really afraid that these people would ask too many questions and he would not know how to answer them. He should answer them honestly, as he was afraid of scaring the other party, so he could just make up lies. He didn't know how to make it up, because he really had no interest in these so-called classmates at all. He didn't make any friends during college. He was relatively withdrawn and dropped out of school in his freshman year. The so-called friendship between classmates was useless to him. Yan didn't exist at all. He felt that the biggest role of sitting here was to elevate the status of these classmates.

"Taiping, your girlfriend is really good-looking. Don't be stingy with your money, otherwise you will cry when she runs away with someone!" Another female classmate said with a smile.

"It should be that I can't run away, but it shouldn't be that I can't keep it." Xu Taiping said with a smile and touched Xia Jinxuan's hand.

"I won't marry unless you." Xia Jinxuan said seriously.

People around looked at Xia Jinxuan. To be honest, Xia Jinxuan looked really good. At this table, and even at the entire dinner party, Zhou Zhiyun was probably the only one who could rival her.

Such a woman turned out to be the girlfriend of a security guard like Xu Taiping, which really made people feel unbalanced, so people at this table were constantly provoking Xu Taiping.

In fact, every group will have a certain division of roles. For example, in a class, there will be someone who always likes to be late, someone who is very sociable, someone who especially likes to make small reports, and then there will be a basketball player. He was very good at fighting and handsome, and Xu Taiping's role in the class was that of the one at the bottom who was bullied. Even now, there are only ten people sitting here. As the roles are divided, some are pushy, some are sociable, and Xu Taiping was still being bullied.

Xu Taiping didn't take it seriously. Xia Jinxuan was used to seeing pretentious people in this society, so she didn't take it to heart. The people at the table were quite harmonious.

It was eight o'clock in a blink of an eye, and the guests had almost arrived. Xu Taiping found that there was still one person missing at their table. After asking, he found out that their counselor from college would be here soon, and that counselor is now Fu Hai. He is the vice president of the university, which is a very high status.

"I heard that our counselor will be transferred to Pingyang District as the deputy district chief in a while. This is like a carp leaping over the dragon's gate!"

"Yes, the deputy director is more powerful than the principal of our school. Back then, I felt that our counselors were not simple, and it turned out to be true!"

Everyone talked about the gossip about the counselor back then. Xu Taiping didn't have deep memories of the counselor because he was not a person who liked to curry favor with the counselor when he was a student, and he rarely had contact with the counselor.

Around 8:15, a middle-aged man and a young woman walked to Xu Taiping's table.

"Sorry, I have a meeting at school, so I'm late." The middle-aged man said apologetically to the people present.

"Teacher Li, you are finally here. We have been talking about you for a long time!"

"Yes, I haven't seen him for many years, and Teacher Li is still as handsome as before!" Everyone at the table stood up to greet Teacher Li, and only Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan were sitting there.

It wasn't that Xu Taiping was deliberately trying to show off, but when he and Xia Jinxuan came, no one stood up to greet them. Naturally, he didn't have that idea. After everyone stood up, he was already a few seconds behind everyone else. It would be a bit abrupt to stand up at this time, so it would be better to sit down, since everyone would sit down soon anyway.

This was Xu Taiping's idea, but it was obvious that Xu Taiping had misjudged everyone's respect for Teacher Li. A group of people stood there and chatted for a while before sitting down.

"We have to squeeze in, Taiping, please step back a little, otherwise the eleven of us can't sit down!" Someone suggested. Originally, this table only had one seat for Teacher Li, but he didn't expect that Teacher Li would bring one. When people came, the whole table seemed crowded with the addition of a chair, so someone asked Xu Taiping to sit further out to free up the space.

"Okay!" Xu Taiping nodded and moved back a little, and Xia Jinxuan also moved back a little, making the position more relaxed.

"Taiping, if you really can't sit down, there are seats next to you!" someone said with a smile.

"Sit down, squeeze in and sit down!" Teacher Li said with a smile, looked at Xu Taiping and said, "Your name is Taiping? This name sounds familiar to me, but I can't remember where I have seen it. is you!"

"I dropped out of school in the first semester of my freshman year!" Xu Taiping said.

"Oh, I remembered, it was Xu Taiping who had very good grades. I remembered that you did drop out of school in the first semester of your freshman year. It was a pity to us teachers for a long time at that time. By the way, you are now What do you do?" Teacher Li asked.

"I work as a security guard at Jiangyuan University," Xu Taiping said.

"Be a security guard?" Teacher Li's face looked a little weird, then he smiled and said, "Three hundred and sixty, if you are a top scorer, if you do a good job as a security guard, it is also very good. Protecting the safety of the school is a heavy responsibility. ,Ha ha!"

"I think so too!" Xu Taiping nodded. He wanted to say a few more words to Teacher Li to ease the embarrassment of not standing up just now. Unexpectedly, Teacher Li turned his face and immediately started talking to the people next to him. He stood up and never looked at Xu Taiping again from beginning to end.

Xu Taiping had no choice but to swallow his words, then looked at Xia Jinxuan, who was smiling jokingly, and glared at her.

Not long after Teacher Li arrived, the wedding finally started.

The wedding march rang throughout the hall, and Zhou Zhiyun and Zheng Baiyu walked into the auditorium hand in hand.

The man is handsome and handsome, and the woman is gentle, beautiful and intellectual. In everyone's eyes, this is a match made in heaven.

"Don't tell me, Zhiyun is really good-looking this week, just a little bit worse than me!" Xia Jinxuan said, grabbing Xu Taiping's hand.

"You just keep talking, why are your hands shaking?" Xu Taiping asked.

"I'm so excited. When can I wear a wedding dress?" Xia Jinxuan said enviously.

"There will be such a day." Xu Taiping smiled and put his hand on Xia Jinxuan's, and then glanced at the door of the wedding hall.

Several bald men were standing at the door, staring at Zheng Baiyu next to Zhou Zhiyun, with unkind expressions on their faces.
