Chapter 70: Falling apart

Friendship? Friendship has long since fallen apart.

Of course, this is not to say that there is really such a big feud between Zhuo Qun and 402's roommate.

It's true that each other is going their separate ways.

But it doesn't mean that you can do it so thoroughly, and there is no room for relaxation.

After all, there are still so many years of relationship, after all, there are so many common experiences.

When everyone calms down, they always have to remember some old feelings and always try to ease the relationship.

In fact, they did have substantial contacts and contacts with each other.

For example, at the end of 2001, Xu Yuntao and Zhang Lei wanted to get married, so they invited Zhuoqun to participate in their wedding.

Zhuo Qun also threw away his old resentment, and sincerely sent a thick part - a full 200,000.

But the problem is that there is a class gap, and this gap will become more and more differentiated with time and the evolution of circumstances.

When Xu Yuntao and Zhang Lei got married, in fact, Zhuo Qun had completely solved his troubles with the help of Mr. Nian.

He even turned down a new contract with Beijing Television and upgraded to reopen his own weekly financial program on national television.

And at that time, the stock market was still plummeting relay.

Because Zhuo Qun's interpretation of major policies and trend predictions are always accurate, the weekly program ratings are even about to catch up with "News Network".

So, as soon as he appeared at the wedding scene, he became a star more dazzling than the bride and groom, and completely stole the limelight of a couple.

There are more people vying to take photos with him and asking about stock trends than Xu Yuntao and Zhang Lei.

The elders and unit leaders of the two families surrounded Zhuo Qun like stars holding the moon, and respectfully treated them as guest of honor.

As a result, in the entire wedding banquet, in addition to the ceremony, Zhuo Qun was elected out and stood on the stage next to the bride and groom to speak.

There is also the addition of the toasting process for the newcomers later.

He didn't have any chance to talk to Xu Yuntao and Zhang Lei.

Not to mention chatting with Gu Weijia, He Xu, Li Kai and other classmates.

So at the end of this wedding banquet, whether it was Zhuo Qun himself, a couple, or former classmates, almost everyone was awkward.

Not long after, the school celebration was ushered in, and Zhuo Qun was invited to go, and he planned to take this opportunity to have a good chat with his former classmates.

I didn't expect it to be the same set of processes.

Because he has become a guest of the school's "key care", he also has to sit with the school leaders during meals.

Even his former homeroom teacher and dean of academic affairs had no part to accompany him.

This once again reminds everyone that Zhuo Qun is no longer mortal, and there is a natural gap with their lives.

No matter who it is, they may be able to criticize, dissatisfied, and even make fun of Zhuo Qun's style in private.

But their lives are destined to have no intersection with Zhuoqun.

In fact, this point, for Xu Yuntao, Gu Weijia, He Xu and Li Kai, is even more profound.

Because after half a year, it will be Zhuo Qun's turn to get married.

Zhuo Qun specially invited a few of them, but they were all stumped by a question - how much should the elements give?

You must know that Zhuoqun didn't take care of everyone to get rich at the beginning.

What's more, with Zhuoqun's reputation and status today, it is really not good to give less.

Not to mention two hundred, it is one thousand or two thousand, and everyone feels that they can't take it.

But if you want to give more, how much is enough?

Xu Yuntao got married, but Zhuo Qun gave 200,000 yuan.

If this standard is followed, their salaries for both years will be filled, and it will not be enough.

It is said that no one asks about the poor in the downtown area, and the rich have distant relatives in the mountains.

But to be honest, it's really a rich and wealthy family.

The poor can't afford to cling to it, but they will have a heart of respect and distance.

So in the end, these old classmates pondered a very reluctant number together.

That is, each person paid 5,000 yuan, plus Xu Yuntao received 200,000 yuan.

A total of 220,000 yuan was collected and asked Xu Yuntao to send it to Zhuo Qun on behalf of everyone.

As for the others, they will not be courteous.

On the other hand, it is equally sad for Zhuo Qun.

Because of his wedding, his parents, who were close relatives, did not come.

His father had a deep resentment towards him, and he was also dissatisfied that the person he married had changed.

So on the grounds that he had to take care of his mother, he didn't give him this face at all.

Originally, Zhuo Qun thought that he could get some warmth from a few former buddies.

But he didn't expect him to see a few friends.

Even Xu Yuntao, who was the only one present, couldn't stand the pressure of the big names at the wedding.

After giving the gift money, he said hello to Zhuo Qun and left quietly.

This makes this huge wedding ceremony completely a formality for Zhuo Qun.

On this big day, looking at the audience, except for a few distant relatives who came to cling to him, he couldn't find anyone who could really bless him.

How could he not feel the confusion and emptiness of standing alone on a high place?

It is said that the old does not go to the new and does not come, in fact, this statement has great limitations, and it can even be said to be a paradox.

Zhuoqun failed to find reliable friends in the new social circle.

Even Mr. Nian and Mr. Jiang are the same, the essence is the exchange of interests.

Because what soil grows what crops, profit calculation and simplicity and honesty are inherently opposed.

The more fertile the land of fame and fortune, the less likely it is to grow the flower of sincere friendship.

In the circles at the top of society, there are vanity, flashiness, depravity, temptation, icing on the cake, and the clinging to the potential, but there is no truth about suffering and republicanism.

After all, even marriage is a compromise in exchange for interests, so where can you find the real thing?

This point, as early as when he experienced the original ordeal, Zhuo Qun had already seen it clearly and understood it thoroughly.

So he didn't expect anything from it, and he didn't want to criticize anything with a moral concept.

It's just that he still didn't think that he still underestimated the risks and ugliness in this circle.

Because the longer he cooperates with Mr. Nian, the more he gets Mr. Nian's respect and dependence.

The more he understands the energy of the interest groups behind the annual president, the more he realizes that the situation he is in is not good.

Especially when he completed the marriage of interests, he followed Mr. Nian to meet the head of the group hidden behind him.

Officially included in his confidants, listen to him talk about the formation of the insurance company's core plan.

He was simply dumbfounded, and even more panicked to the bone.

Because he never thought that he would be valued by a future prisoner as a big man.

Involuntarily involved in a political turmoil that he involuntarily tolerated himself.

You know, he's the one who has seen the future, and that's the clearest thing to be.

This interest consortium led by a high-ranking official surnamed Lin seems to be powerful, but it is destined to be completely destroyed in a few years.

Therefore, not only did his situation not improve, but he lost his net worth and his life.

What to do?

Just stop there?

Impossible.

If he really dared to show such a meaning, he wouldn't have to wait a few more years, and he would soon disappear into nothingness.

But if he really accompanies these people on this trip to the troubled waters, then he won't be able to jump for a few years.

I'm afraid that only sitting in prison will be the result of this kind of desolation.

Worried, afraid, Zhuo Qun didn't know how many brain cells he had injured behind his back.

And in the end, it was the special attributes of the reborn who saved him.

His understanding of future political changes not only made him aware of the risks he would face in advance.

He also knew which side would be the winner.

In addition, his grasp of the future trend of science and technology allowed him to buy a voice recorder and micro camera equipment in Zhongguancun for the first time.

Luckily, he also worked as a journalist, so he was familiar with the use of these things.

So under this careful preparation, he was forced to reluctantly become a spy with different ambitions.

Yes, he really hasn't experienced the real wind and rain, and he really doesn't understand the ruthless methods of those opponents

But his background itself is a good disguise, which makes everyone in the interest group quite comfortable with him.

In this way, with the increasingly accumulated evidence, he surrendered in advance.

Not only did he survive, but he cleared his name and was rewarded as a true victor.

I also saw clearly that black is black and white is white.

Unexpectedly, I learned that the initiator of his ordeal was the president who had been playing the role of savior for him.

Therefore, he truly realized what it means to "either vicissitudes or dirty behind the scenery".

Interestingly, it was under such circumstances, because of a flat tire in a car, that Zhuo Qun met Qiao Jian by chance.

He found that after many years, Qiao Jian, who failed to complete his college studies, did not collapse as he imagined and sank.

He is still so positive and optimistic, and with his own efforts, it took five or six years to open his own auto repair shop.

Seeing himself, Qiao Jian did not have the slightest twist.

Instead, I was very happy to catch up with him and provide him with tire replacement services.

Seeing Qiao Jian working at the same time, he told the recent situation of his classmates.

Zhuo Qun felt a sense of loss instead.

This clearly shows that he is the one who has been excluded from the class.

But what made him feel even more embarrassed was that after the tire change, Qiao Jian not only insisted on not accepting Zhuo Qun's money, but also did not forget to mention the events of the year.

"Zhuo Qun, if you are all classmates, don't be polite. That's just a little apology to you. ”

"To be honest, when you were dissuaded from the school, I was always very upset. Fortunately, you mix so well, then I am somewhat relieved. ”

"But don't get me wrong. It's not that I think I'm doing something wrong, I just think I'm being reckless and the school is going too hard. If I found out about it again today. I'm still against you, right things and not people. ”

"Maybe you don't know it, but I was actually fired from school because of a fight. As far as our broken director is concerned, it's really ruthless. But then again. Who made himself young and ignorant?"

"Men, you have to admit what you do. Do you say it's ?......?"
