When Ren Pingsheng walked out of the banquet hall of the Golden Dragon Hotel, he definitely didn't expect that this would be the last hour he would stay in this world.

In fact, he didn't have the leisure to think at all, because as soon as he walked out of the door, he was blown by the cold wind, his neck was cold, and his stomach began to turn over, and the seafood and red wine he had eaten at the previous dinner worked together, and a sour breath went straight to his throat.

Luckily, he was holding a flower pot before the spout was about to come out, otherwise the nearby waiter in a golden uniform would have rolled his eyes in waiting.

Even so, when Ren Pingsheng spit the food residues in his stomach into the flower pots, these well-trained waiters couldn't help but squeeze their eyes, wrinkle their noses, and show a look of disdain.

It is no wonder that these waiters have been receiving all kinds of people for many years, and naturally have developed a set of skills to observe words and colors.

Those who have a lot of fun at the wine table dinner, don't know how to weigh how many pounds and taels they have, and pour wine into their mouths at every turn, are often the most incompetent in real life.

This type of person can be called a fool.

And people who have a little bit of status and know how to control their role at the dinner usually adjust their drinking amount and drinking rhythm according to the different objects.

If the other person is stronger than you, drink more, and if the other person is weaker than you, let the other person drink more.

This kind of person is usually called a matter of force.

And the really powerful people, in the dinner, generally let the first two types of people play, they just taste the beginning, to the point, because the most important thing is always arranged after the dinner.

This kind of person is obvious, just awesome.

These three types of people are indispensable at every dinner, and everyone's role in the dinner is determined by the comparison of strength between them.

Of course, Ren Pingsheng is not stupid, but he is not a fool, let alone a bullshit, the reason why he made himself so embarrassed today is mainly because he didn't see Zuo Xiaoxiao.

When he got up and went to Hanhai University to attend the 10th anniversary reunion of the class of 02, Ren Pingsheng had made all the psychological preparations and imagined countless dialogue scenes.

Ten years ago, they were in their prime, high-spirited, a couple who were envied and praised by everyone, and winners who were ready to go to the pinnacle of life.

It's a pity that this gorgeous play came to an abrupt end before it could be performed.

Including Ren Pingsheng, no one expected that the two would break up on the day of the graduation ceremony and end this college romance.

For the rest of his life, Ren Pingsheng was like his peers around him, following the path that mortals must follow.

After marrying a wife, having children, spending, socializing, and doing everything that should be done in the eyes of his parents and the people around him, Ren Pingsheng could only watch his wife watch one popular TV series after another, and his children enrolled in one interest class after another, mixing one meal after another......

Ten years later, seeing his accumulated and more prominent belly, Ren Pingsheng has given up all illusions about the future, and as the years go by, he has lost hope and gradually forgotten that person.

Just when he was about to live this ordinary life numbly, the news of the 10th anniversary reunion of college classmates cast a ripple in his heart that was already like stagnant water.

Ren Pingsheng has always disliked participating in this kind of party, he has always believed that classmates will naturally get together if they have feelings, and it is not interesting to force them together without feelings.

As the time goes for graduation, there are fewer and fewer classmates who can still get together, and even fewer who have common topics together.

But this 10th anniversary party was different, both in terms of organization and scale, it was unprecedentedly powerful, and many teachers and distinguished alumni would attend, and of course the name that made him unforgettable.

The reason why Ren Pingsheng came to the party was only one reason from beginning to end, and it was always for her.

He originally planned to take advantage of this gathering to ask Zuo Xiaoxiao a question in person, the question he had been waiting for for more than ten years.

It's just that it backfired, from the opening ceremony at noon, the garden party to the dinner, the shadow that haunted him never appeared.

Whether Zuo Xiaoxiao was delayed by something, or whether he deliberately avoided himself and did not show up, Ren Pingsheng did not know, and there was no way to guess, but it was certain that his trip to the Hanhai Sea was in vain, and the fire of his wishful thinking was also extinguished.

With loss and unwillingness, Ren Pingsheng put aside his usual rationality and calmness, opened his mind at the dinner, and frequently raised his glass to drink, wanting to use alcohol to anesthetize himself, and use this self-deprecating behavior to vent his inner depression.

When people are frustrated, they tend to do something stupid.

Ren Pingsheng is very stupid now.

That's why in front of everyone, holding the flower pot in the hotel corridor and vomiting a mess, like pouring dominoes, this vomit is endless, and the whole stomach seems to be turned upside down until the last bit of food scraps are vomited.

By the time Ren Pingsheng straightened up, the flower pot in front of him was already filled with a pile of food residues mixed with the smell of wine and fermentation.

And the eyes of the waiter next to him have changed from surprise, to contempt, to disgust, to contempt, and finally to contempt, this middle-aged man looks inconspicuous, behaves in a way that is not good, and he can't control himself, he is simply a loser.

After vomiting the burden in his stomach, Ren Pingsheng sobered up a little and began to read the eyes of the people around him, but at this time he didn't want to prove anything, and he was powerless to correct others.

Compared to the distinguished alumni in the party, he really didn't have much weight.

After graduating from Hanhai University with a bachelor's degree in economics and management, Ren Pingsheng did not experience the fierce struggle of the job market like many classmates and successfully got employed, because he had been admitted to the civil service in Hanzhou City, Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province in the second half of his senior year.

In 2006, when Ren Pingsheng graduated, civil servants were not as popular as they are now, but this stable job of ensuring income during drought and flood is also the dream of many people.

Ren Pingsheng's employment is very smooth, but unfortunately a good beginning does not always mean that the ending is perfect.

Perhaps it is the price that must be paid for too smooth employment, Ren Pingsheng's development in his career is not amazing, but he stepped step by step and rose to the main department level, staying in this position for 5 years, and then going up to the deputy department level, but just such a step, for Ren Pingsheng, it is more difficult than ascending to the sky.

If a person is confined to a ceiling for a long time, even if he is a hero, he has to bow his head and bend over after a long time, and he will wear out a bloody heroism.

Ren Pingsheng is not a hero, he is just a mortal. Heroes can't rise yet, and mortals can't even do it.

Loser, stupid stupid, anyway, after tomorrow, there will be no intersection with each other, can you manage it?

After Ren Pingsheng's self-spirit triumphed, he wiped his mouth, straightened his clothes, and walked downstairs as if nothing had happened in the eyes of others, and continued the next game.

The second program of the 02 class of economic management class 3 students, the venue is located in the KTV box on the second floor of the Golden Dragon Hotel, the main initiator and arranger of this event is Ling Feng, he is one of the local tyrants in this class reunion, and he is also a rare fellow and friend of Ren Pingsheng in the class.

After graduating, Ling Feng first worked as a merchandiser in a foreign trade company in Hanzhou City for a period of time, and after mastering the basic situation of the industry, he opened his own company with the support of his family and relatives.

With outstanding foreign language skills and understanding of foreign laws and rules, his foreign trade company has grown rapidly, and has also extended to the production of upstream products, and now has 3 factories, 1 company and hundreds of employees, and assets have reached hundreds of millions.

Ling Feng has always been very generous, and the venue for this dinner was provided by Ling Feng, the five-star Golden Dragon Hotel, only twenty minutes away from the campus of Hanhai University.

This hotel is opened by Wenzhou villagers, Ren Pingsheng has also heard a little before, the hotel owner is a typical Jiangsu and Zhejiang soil boss, by speculating in real estate and land to make a fortune, so the hotel's decoration style is also brilliant, rich and compelling.

Ling Feng arranged the largest and most luxurious room in the whole hotel, and the equipment and decoration inside were also consistent with the style of the hotel, with various golden ornaments and leather and leather made of European furniture, for fear that people would not know that the owner was a nouveau riche.

When Ren Pingsheng walked in, the KTV box was already full of people and singing.

The male students are busy showing off their achievements, and the scope of showing off is nothing more than cars, houses, and seats, throwing keys to luxury cars, talking about politics when they are big officials, and discussing what location to buy a house if they have money...... There was nothing, so I had to get drunk on the side stupidly.

The female students are much more reserved, as soon as they enter the box, they are busy looking for selfies from various angles, trying to highlight the results of their careful dressing, even if it is a group photo between female students, they are competing for the best position, exuding a strong plastic sisterhood.

Some thoughtful female classmates put their minds on some powerful male classmates, singing and singing, walking around, showing their faces, and brushing their sense of existence from time to time.

Although it was not deliberate, the students in the box naturally formed three circles.

The first circle is, of course, headed by Gao Yuanyuan, who once served as the class leader of Class 02 Management 3 and was also one of the leaders of this class reunion.

When she was in school, Gao Yuanyuan was a figure on campus, from the president of the school's student union to the representative of the All-China Youth Federation, from the organizer and backbone of the school's theatrical performances to the school's enrollment ambassador.

Gao Yuanyuan herself is of course very good, but she can navigate many fields such as school and society, and some people inevitably associate all this with her father, Gao Weicheng, who was the deputy director of the Organization Department of the Hanhai Municipal Party Committee and is now a member of the Standing Committee of the Hanhai Municipal Party Committee and deputy mayor.

Around Gao Yuanyuan, in addition to two or three good female classmates, mainly some male classmates who fantasize about being able to cling to their families, this circle is located in the middle of the box, the momentum is huge, full of style, Gao Yuanyuan is even more brilliant in the crowd of everyone.

Another circle, is a few female classmates with a little good looks, and now the male classmates who are mixed up relatively well, they don't want to follow the crowd to pursue Gao Yuanyuan, so they have similar conditions to their own group, they also have some followers, although this circle is not so big, but the number of people is more, and they can compete with Gao Yuanyuan's circle a little.

The last circle,Strictly speaking, it's not a circle.,It can only be said that the guerrillas who didn't squeeze into the first two circles scattered.,In order not to make yourself look alone and come together.,This circle is dominated by male classmates who don't have much achievement.,Female classmates are pitiful.,And the quality is not very high.。

Ren Pingsheng found that he had been unconsciously placed in the third circle, just like on campus, but he did not complain about this arrangement, he had long adapted to this role.

In Ren Pingsheng's circle, many of them are his roommates. There are 24 male students in Class 02 Management 3, evenly distributed to three dormitories, a male dormitory usually has to live 8 people, Ren Pingsheng's 107 dormitory came to 6 people today, except for Chang Yuan, the class leader and party organizer, the remaining 4 people are in this circle.

Zhang Wenwu is a mild-tempered little fat man, he has been the dormitory director for four years, and now works as a teller in a business department of Handong Bank, helping the old man and the old lady open an account every day in a suit and leather shoes, although he has bought a house in Hanhai City, but he has not yet married.

Helianji came with Cheng Zhi, both of them are from Donglai City, Qilu Province, and they are also the only pair of northern classmates in the dormitory, and they are also the closest when they are in school, after all, in this university dominated by southerners, a few northerners will naturally hug each other to help each other keep warm.

Although both are typical northern men, both are around 180 tall, but their personalities are very different.

Helenji has a square face and a square chin, and his whole head is as square as a wooden plank, although his skin is very white and clean, his facial features are as solemn as granite, and he usually does not smile, which is intimidating.

But he is actually a very decent and kind person, he generally doesn't speak much in the dormitory, once he speaks, it means that others have done too much, crossing his inner moral bottom line, at this time he has to say his own opinion, usually as soon as he speaks, everyone's argument basically subsides.

Cheng Zhi happens to be the other extreme, he has dark skin, deep facial features, a pair of talking peach blossom eyes are always affectionate, he is a recognized beautiful man in the dormitory, and he is also the main striker of the school football team, and many girls like him when he was in school.

It's just that although his external conditions are very good, his personality is a little hesitant and passive, and most things need to be pushed by others, and this other person's role is usually Helenki, so when the two were in school, they were almost "Meng is not out of focus, Jiao is not away from Meng".

After graduating, the two still maintained the friendship they had formed in school, with Helianji working as a project manager at a provincial state-owned construction company and Cheng Zhi as a sales representative at a trading company in Qizhou City.

Lin Lisong is a person who is almost wooden in appearance, he is a native of Houguan City, Minhai Province, and is closest to Ren Pingsheng's hometown, plus the two have been in a bunk relationship since their freshman year, so during the school, he is the one who has the best relationship with Ren Pingsheng in the entire dormitory.

Lin Lisong got married very late, Ren Pingsheng's children were in kindergarten, and he received his invitation, Ren Pingsheng had only seen the bride at his wedding banquet, the bride with big shoulders and round waist, tiger back and bear waist stood with Lin Lisong, who was pale and thin, with slender limbs, like the standard configuration of Hollywood comedy.

It's a pity that although the bride was smiling all over her face that night, the groom looked absent-minded and listless, and he didn't know if their married life was happy.

Chang Yuan, who was the most active in the dormitory, recommended himself to be the class president after Gao Yuanyuan stepped down, which was three years, and he was still the class president until his senior year of graduation.

Maybe he is handy in this position, or maybe the whole class needs someone to be the class leader, so after graduation, everyone has always called him the class president, and he is obliged to accept this title and the obligations attached to the title.

From alumni to QQ groups to WeChat groups, with the change of social media over the years, the contact methods for maintaining the students of Class 3 of 02 Economics and Management have also changed again and again, but the only thing that remains unchanged is the creators of these QQ groups and WeChat groups, as well as the organizers of previous class reunions - Chang Yuan.

This party is no exception, although the main sponsor is Ling Feng, it is still Chang Yuan who is busy organizing and coordinating.

Although Chang Yuan looks like he is very comfortable in society, he is just working for his father. The father and son have been operating a fish pond that has been contracted for many years, and their income basically depends on the weather, and if there is no epidemic, it is fine, otherwise there will be no harvest throughout the year.

Overall, the boys in the 107 dormitory did not mix well after graduation, but Ren Pingsheng was the best one in the dormitory, at least his job was stable and decent enough.

Chang Yuan walked around the room, greeting his classmates with his signature enthusiasm, and allocating the time to greet each classmate just right and not too much, so that the other party felt that he was not left out and not too intimate.

Although Chang Yuan had tried his best to make it rain and dew, his main range of activities was obviously locked in the first and second circles, and it was clear that the third circle was not worth his time.

Ren Pingsheng didn't care which circle he was in, and he wasn't interested in chatting with these classmates, he just wanted to sit on the sofa for a while and leave after the alcohol had eased up.

Because the man he wanted to see wasn't there.
