Chapter 185: Junior High School Gathering
In junior high school, Li Yan was the most important person in the class, but now that everyone has gone to college, the importance of grades has decreased a lot, and his attention has naturally decreased.
Lu Qingqing didn't take the initiative to greet him, and Li Yan didn't force himself up, so he and Yan Zhu found a seat and sat down.
The so-called old school reunion is just eating and drinking, and the free dinner is not eaten in vain. Li Yan sat and waited to eat and drink.
Gently touching Li Yan's arm, Yan Zhu lowered his voice and said, "I feel that the squad leader is interested in Su Rong, do you have a wood to see?"
Li Yan rolled his eyes: "As long as your eyes are not blind, you can see it, okay?"
Yan Zhu sighed a few times and said: "I didn't see it before, Su Rong, this kid is quite capital, and he has a big restaurant at home, no wonder the squad leader likes him." ”
Li Yan was silent, he was not the kind of person who was too gossipy, and he was not interested in medicating on other people's private affairs.
Perhaps because he felt bored, Yan Zhu patted Li Yan's arm again, and said in a low voice with a wicked smile: "When you were in high school, your grades were on par with the class leader. Isn't it nice to have you together now?"
Li Yan was amused, some classmates did make a joke when he was in junior high school, but he had a crush on Bai Suyun at the time, and Lu Qingqing was also bored studying. In addition to being in the same class, the two are almost incompatible.
Less than 20 students were invited to this party, and soon everyone came to the table one after another, mainly talking about college life, and it was difficult for someone like Yan Zhu who did not go to college to interject.
Li Yan also rarely spoke. He can't tell everyone that he has fallen into college and has fallen from a scholar to a scumbag.
A classmate at the next table said: "Class leader, you are admitted to a prestigious university, our second- and third-rate universities are not comparable, tell us about the learning atmosphere there, has everyone taken the IELTS TOEFL in English?"
Lu Qingqing's excellent grades were maintained until high school, and the university he was admitted to was no worse than Funing University, which is a famous school in the magic capital.
After getting a haircut, Lu Qingqing smiled and said: "Actually, it's not as exaggerated as everyone thinks, only people who are considering going abroad can take the IELTS TOEFL, but they have basically passed the English level 6." ”
Li Yan shrank his head, he was worried that others would ask him questions related to his grades, because he didn't pass the sixth level, and he didn't pass the exam three times...; …;
However, if you are afraid, you can come to anything, and a female classmate at the same table smiled: "Li Yan, you are also admitted to a prestigious school, share with us the feeling of studying in a prestigious school." ”
Li Yan almost choked on a drink, and he didn't go to class much for most of the semester. Share a yarn!
Just when he was embarrassed, Lu Qingqing said again: "University is called a small society, not only pay attention to academic performance, but also how to behave in the world is also very important, you have to learn to accumulate network resources, maybe you will use it in the future." ”
"Yes, after entering the society, the previous academic performance is just a academic degree, and many times family background and interpersonal relationships are more important. Some students sighed.
Yan Zhu also felt deeply, he followed his family to do business, and he knew very well the importance of connections.
If you want to mix well in society, academic qualifications are not necessary, but a strong enough network is absolutely indispensable.
Talking about this very realistic problem, Lu Qingqing pretended to look at Su Rong at the same table casually, not only Yan Zhu looked away, but she didn't see that Su Rong was a potential stock before.
can open such a big restaurant, and the family's assets are less than millions, and there is this stepping stone. Su Rong's starting point in the future is higher than that of most of his classmates.
It's better to learn well than to marry well, if you can marry a good family, it will be countless times more comfortable than working hard by yourself, Lu Qingqing moved his mind.
There are not a few girls who have the same idea as her, and several female classmates come to their table and toast Su Rong from time to time.
Li Yan, a boy with an average appearance and an ordinary family background, was naturally ignored.
This is in line with his heart, no one bothers him, just eat happily.
After three rounds of drinking, a somewhat drunk classmate hiccuped and said, "You don't know, the last time I was in Funing, I saw a restaurant open, and the pomp and circumstance at that time was simply scary!"
"Scared to death?" The classmate next to him hurriedly asked, "Is it so exaggerated, what kind of pomp can scare people to death?"
"It's not an exaggeration, you don't see it, the luxury cars are lined up in a long line, what Rolls-Royce Bentley Maybach Porsche has all, it's like driving a luxury car show. The more the classmate talked, the more energetic he became, showing off the photos he took.
Yan Zhu also squeezed over to look, and exclaimed: "I'll take it, so many local tyrants come to cheer, what kind of restaurant is so bullish?"
The classmate thought for a while and said, "It seems to be a fake name, and the name is weird." ”
"This is the year to open the store. It is to be unconventional, to make a gimmick, to take such a name, and make people remember it at a glance. Another classmate said.
At first, Li Yan was still eating with his head down, and he was stunned when he heard what he said, and then pretended that it had nothing to do with him, and continued to eat and drink.
"That's the power of networking, dozens of luxury cars parked in front of the store and inadvertently advertising the restaurant. Lu Qingqing said enviously.
Su Rong was puzzled, this restaurant seemed to be inferior to his restaurant, how could there be so many rich people.
Returning to his seat, Yan Zhu asked softly, "Li Yan, aren't you studying in the provincial capital, have you ever heard of this fake taste restaurant?"
The others also looked at Li Yan, waiting for his answer.
"Have you ever heard of labor's own restaurant?" Li Yan said silently in his heart, and said with a smile: "I usually eat in the cafeteria, and I can't afford to go to a restaurant that is too expensive, so I don't pay much attention to it." ”
As soon as he said this, the classmates lacked interest, and several girls no longer bothered with Li Yan.
What's the use of good grades, if you are admitted to a prestigious university, if you don't have any family background, you still have to start from the bottom.
Although the starting point is a little higher than that of the average college graduate, it is also very limited. Basically, they live a 9-to-5 white-collar life, and only a few can get ahead.
And the rich second generation like Su Rong is different, with the help of his family, the future is bright and smooth, and he can avoid many detours.
Although Lu Qingqing's family is average, he was admitted to a prestigious school, and he is beautiful, which has become the focus of everyone's attention, and another big focus is the host Su Rong, who is handsome and young and golden.
Under the stars and the moon. Su Rong was also a little fluttering, these treatments were something he hadn't enjoyed before.
He studied in a second-class university, and the classmates in the same dormitory were all from big cities, and his family background was relatively good, so Su Rong did not have too obvious advantages in the school.
Back in Dening, his advantages are highlighted, and all kinds of praise are endless, as if he has become a star-like figure.
Li Yan was completely reduced to a small role on the margins, and a few classmates who were more familiar with him came to toast earlier, but only Yan Zhu was with him in the back.
didn't go to college, and Yan Zhu couldn't join many topics, but fortunately, he was more optimistic and didn't care too much.
A party lasted more than two hours, and Su Rong proposed to go to KTV to sing, and he invited guests. It has received the support of many students.
Li Yan was full of food and drink, too lazy to go to that kind of entertainment place, and he was afraid that his broken gong throat would scare his classmates, so he didn't follow.
The classmates didn't say anything, but their hearts were lively, thinking that Li Yan left alone because he lost his former aura and couldn't adapt to reality.
"You may not believe it, but when the fake taste restaurant opened, I passed by that road, and I seemed to see Li Yan receiving guests at the door. The half-drunk classmate said.
He wasn't too drunk, though. But everyone took this as drunk talk and didn't take it too seriously.
"Didn't Li Yan say it just now, he didn't know the restaurant, I guess you read it wrong. Lu Qingqing said with a smile.
The classmate leaned back in his chair and tried to recall, but under the influence of alcohol, his head swelled slightly, and his memory was not very clear.
After a while, he still felt that he was not mistaken, that person was Li Yan, took out his mobile phone and looked at the album again, and one of the photos had a side face in the corner.
He hugged Yan Zhu's neck and said with a mouthful of wine: "Yan Zhu, take a closer look, is this Li Yan?"
Yan Zhu leaned his head up, enlarged the photo a little, frowned, and said, "Hey, it really looks like it, but the side face can't be determined." ”
Several other classmates squeezed up, some said it looked like and some said it didn't, Lu Qingqing and Su Rong also felt very similar, but there were more people with similar side faces, so there was nothing to make a fuss about.
