It was close to four o'clock in the afternoon at the end of the executive meeting of the "Still Eternal" company, and Li Xiaoqing, who had just returned to the chairman's office, received a call from Du Yaping before she could sit down, she said that she had booked a table at the "Dufulai" seafood hotel in the eastern district of He, and had made an appointment with a few high school classmates to have dinner at six o'clock. Her words were very anxious, and she made an appointment with Li Xiaoqing, so she hung up the phone in a hurry.
Li Xiaoqing is very concerned about Du Yaping's life after graduation, and she seems to have heard from the last phone call that she is not satisfied now. According to her, this time she returned to Shanghai with work, and it was a business trip. Li Xiaoqing wanted to care about it and see if she could help her, but she didn't expect her personality to be so impatient and hot.
Li Xiaoqing looked at the phone that hung up and smiled bitterly.
Du Yaping's good friends in high school are basically classmates who are more haode classmates than Li Xiaoqing. After graduating from high school, because these classmates were admitted to the university and began to enjoy the romantic life on the college campus, Li Xiaoqing became pregnant unexpectedly and was kicked out of the house. Gradually, few people contacted Li Xiaoqing anymore.
During her most difficult period, occasionally one or two classmates called her to greet her and care about her life, and when these classmates graduated from college, there was no more news. Li Xiaoqing also did not have their contact information, so she has cut off contact since then.
At that time, Li Xiaoqing was very inferior, just like when she heard that Chen Yuxing was going to apply for a master's degree, she felt that she was one level lower than them, and it was impossible for her to live in the same shijie as them. She can only be used as a pawn in society. Li Xiaoqing also has a lot of self-esteem, and she never takes the initiative to contact these good friends from high school when they were admitted to college.
Less than a year after graduating from high school, she became a mother of two children, and her life fell into extreme poverty.
Several male classmates in the class who used to pursue her frantically also began to avoid her after her belly got bigger, losing the motivation and patience to pursue her. And spread some news that was not good for her among her classmates. Occasionally, a lovelorn male classmate would call her and take the opportunity to tease this beautiful single mother to ease their own lovelorn pain. Li Xiaoqing is also very self-respecting and self-loving, and will never take their hypocrisy seriously, and these male classmates have also lost contact with them after graduation and have no contact.
Time flies, time flies, and in a flash, these good friends from high school should also start a family. The mind has gradually matured. Now the contact with each other should be more realistic and utilitarian.
Li Xiaoqing had an anxious mood to see what the situation of these former classmates and good friends was like. Are they happy? Li Xiaoqing is not a small-bellied person, and she will not blame her middle school classmates for the suffering she encountered. After all, she was not treated well at that time, and there was no place to help them, and her classmates intentionally or unintentionally alienated her, which had little to do with their quality. It is this real society that makes this happen.
This situation is not only commonplace in China, but also normal even in the United States, which advertises that everyone is equal. Have you ever seen a well-dressed white-collar worker make friends with a beggar on the street? Only people of equal status can become friends. This is the immutable truth. It is impossible for Li Xiaoqing and these white-collar workers to become true friends, her friends are in the circle of the top rich people in China, and in the circle of dignitaries in the country's military and political circles.
But for Du Yaping, who gave her care and help in her most difficult time, Li Xiaoqing didn't want to be friends with her, but wanted to be sisters with her, sisters who sincerely cared about and helped.
More than an hour passed in the blink of an eye, Li Xiaoqing went home and changed into a set of casual clothes, took Li Lan and Li Ju, and came to the "Dufolai" hotel with his Maybach, Li Xiaoqing asked Li Lan to park the car a hundred meters away from the gate, so that Li Lan and Li Ju were far away, and she walked to the hotel alone.
The name of this hotel sounds quite big, but it is actually a slightly better hotel than a mid-range hotel. The decoration grade is passable, the reason for his overcrowding is that his consumption is low, it can be described as good quality and low price, the average consumption per person is about 50 yuan, if you count the average drink, it will not exceed 100 yuan too much, which is suitable for the consumption of ordinary people.
Li Xiaoqing: Two months ago, there were very few such mid-range hotels, and more of them were in small restaurants with only three or five tables, and they were all dining with their families. Now when she sees a hotel of this grade, she has a faint resistance, feeling out of place with herself. The change in mood over the past two months or so has been like sitting on a rocket, from the prudence and frugality of the toiling masses at the lowest level to the fact that they are now worth hundreds of billions of dollars and are on an equal footing with the parents and officials of the provinces and cities.
Li Xiaoqing stepped on the hotel she ordered, and when she entered the private room, there were already more than a dozen people sitting on a large platform of fifteen people, Li Xiaoqing glanced at it, she knew all these dozen people. It can be said that they are all good students in that class in high school.
"Who is this? β
A boy sitting next to Du Yaping stood up in surprise when he saw Li Xiaoqing walking into the room, and let out an exclamation. Du Yaping had already walked out of her seat, jumped to Li Xiaoqing's side, and hugged Li Xiaoqing.
She almost shouted and greeted Li Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, you miss me. Your phone won't turn on for a few days, you want to die!"
Li Xiaoqing was also emotional, she hugged Du Yaping hard, and said in a choked voice:
"Yaping, it's good to see you again, you have been gone for so long, and you don't give me a call. It makes me want to kill you, and I'm still thinking about going to your parents' house to ask for your phone number these days. β
Yaping sighed and said, "Hey, it's hard to say, I'll have a chance to tell you later." Why didn't you bring the children?"
Xiaoqing said: "The child is not in Shanghai. β
"Hey, big beauty, do you know my brother?"
A handsome boy with a big height. He had already gotten up from his seat and came to the side of the two.
"Hello, Dong Qingyuan. β
Li Xiaoqing took the initiative to stretch out her hand and shook Dong Qingyuan, but Dong Qingyuan grabbed Li Xiaoqing's hand and didn't let go.
"Beauty, should we hug it. β
Li Xiaoqing said with a smile:
"This handsome guy, why didn't he drink, he got drunk. β
The male classmate who was sitting next to Du Yaping just now also walked out of his seat and stretched out his hand to Li Xiaoqing, but also relieved Li Xiaoqing.
"Li Da Beauty. You don't remember your brother, do you?"
Li Xiaoqing shook hands with him.
"Hello Su Chengfeng. Looking at your proud spring breeze, you should be starting a family and starting a business. β
"Xiaoqing, you guessed accurately. This handsome guy Su, the children are all full moon. He is also the project manager of a real estate company, and he can use a diaper for his children if he has a lot of money. β
Everyone was hahadaxiao for a while, and Su Chengfeng didn't think it was touched. On the contrary, there was a smug expression in his expression.
"Sit down, everybody. Su Chengfeng, you changed positions, and Xiaoqing sat next to me. β
Du Yaping instructed Su Chengfeng and pulled Li Xiaoqing to sit next to her. When Li Xiaoqing didn't arrive, everyone should have laughed for a while, and they were casual and warm when they arrived with each other.
After Li Xiaoqing sat down. and a few other classmates nodded their heads in greetings. Everyone began to chat again.
"Yaping, what are you doing when you come back to Shanghai this time?"
Du Yaping put her arm around Li Xiaoqing and looked at Li Xiaoqing carefully.
"I'm too lazy to talk about work. Xiaoqing. I see you're in good spirits. β
Li Xiaoqing is wearing a casual suit made by a comprehensive ship today, with a light gray long T-shirt on her upper body, a light purple jacket, and a short gauze scarf with white flowers on a purple background on her neck. A butterfly clasp was tied under the neck. The lower body is a pair of yellow bloomers and a pair of semi-high-waisted white boots.
Li Xiaoqing only wears a light makeup, and her skin looks like fine porcelain. The eyebrows are like crescents, the red lips are dotted, and the bridge of the nose is straight. On her head, she simply wore a bun behind her head, and a turquoise hairpin was inserted in the bun, resembling jadeite, but no one here believed that she was really a jade hairpin on her head. She doesn't have a handbag or anything like that, she looks refreshing and youthful.
"Okay, are you married?"
Li Xiaoqing replied, and at the same time lowered the sound to the point that only Du Yaping on the opposite side could hear it. From the phone call to a few conversations after meeting, Li Xiaoqing felt that Du Yaping's life was unsatisfactory.
"I left again, but I didn't expect him to look like a dog, but he was a pervert. β
Chen Yaping's voice was also very small, and only two people could hear it. Li Xiaoqing held Du Yaping's hand tightly, as if she wanted to pass her liliang to her.
"Come back and leave Shenzhen. Let's go back to Shanghai for development. There's your parents, your classmates, friends, and me. β
Du Yaping's eyes were moist, she pursed her lips and nodded softly.
"I'm thinking about it too. We'll talk about that later. β
Li Xiaoqing clenched Du Yaping's hand again and said:
"Alright, come to me tonight. β
Du Yaping said: "Is it convenient?"
Li Xiaoqing said: "Well, the child is not at home. β
The two chatted here, and they stopped chatting privately, and Du Yaping began to greet other classmates.
The quality of the food in this hotel is good, Li Xiaoqing can still swallow it, there is no liquor on the wine table, and both male and female students drink beer. The dishes have already been served, and two cases of beer have been drunk, and the atmosphere on the wine table is even more enthusiastic.
There are eight more female classmates at this table, and the remaining four male classmates, in addition to the two handsome guys, there are two, one works in the Shanghai Taxation Bureau, named Gao Yunteng, and the other is Li Shiguang, who works in his family business.
These four men were all Li Xiaoqing's ministers under the skirt, and they all pursued Li Xiaoqing madly, especially after the college entrance examination, the big boys who had no academic pressure could finally release their hormones in a mood.
These four called Li Xiaoqing almost twice in three days. Li Xiaoqing has also participated in group activities organized by them, but has never dated any of their boys alone.
"Li Da Beauty, you are getting more and more beautiful, today is especially sexy, introduce the experience to the female compatriots here. β
Li Shiguang's face was already red, and he was the most undrinkable of the four men. He has always had Li Xiaoqing's figure in his heart, and because of Li Xiaoqing's pregnancy and childbirth, he was buried deep in his heart. Seeing Li Xiaoqing again today, the still little bit of aiqing fire in my heart. was ignited by the beautiful hibiscus Li Xiaoqing again, and if he wanted to restore his status in Li Xiaoqing's heart, he blurted out beautiful words. I don't want his compliments to arouse the contempt and dissatisfaction of several other female classmates.
"Hey, Boss Li, pursue Li Xiaoqing, don't wait to belittle our female compatriots like this. β
"That's it, Li Erdai, you solve your girlfriend's matter first, don't step on two boats, okay. β
Li Xiaoqing's brows furrowed. I don't like it in my heart. In the past few months, she has been a master, and she has been loved by thousands of people. This kind of cynicism has not been heard in a long time.
"Hey, by the way, Xiaoqing, your child is five years old, right?"
"The way they looked when they were kids, they were so cute. β
Two girls who spoke, one was named Yang Qihan and the other was Wang Weier. What kind of university they went to, Li Xiaoqing really can't remember. It's just that in the introduction just now, Wang Weier works in the "Shanghai Boai Cancer Specialized Hospital" that has just been established in Shanghai, so she should study medicine. Yang Qihan works in a chain real estate agency and is the manager of a store, and Yang Qihan can't tell what major she is studying from her work.
βxiexieγ They're only a little over four years old, and now their grandmother is taking them?"
Li Xiaoqing replied. At the mention of her two children, her face showed a gentle maternal love, which made her even more radiant.
All four men were stunned. Li Shiguang's mood is shared by the other three boys, and Li Xiaoqing's elegant temperament makes them all feel ashamed of themselves. Some of the remaining superiority feelings in my heart didn't know where to run at this time. The same words of praise as Li Shiguang swirled in his mouth for two weeks. I just don't dare to say it.
"Found the kid's father?"
As soon as Wang Wei'er spoke, she felt that she was speechless, and covered her mouth with her little hand, with apologies in her eyes. This is an extremely eye-catching gossip, and the people at the table all stopped their movements and listened to Li Xiaoqing's answer.
"Yes, my husband found me a few months ago. Now that I have settled in Fengjing, if you have time to go to Fengjing, you must come and sit at home. β
Li Xiaoqing's words disappointed the four boys for a while, and then relaxed for a while. The gossip hearts of the other seven women were finally mobilized.
"Xiaoqing, tell me, what does your husband do, how old is he?"
Wang Weier is a gossip girl, the more detailed the question, the more she wants to understand.
"Come, let's have a drink, for Xiaoqing's bitterness. β
Du Yaping interrupted Wang Weier's questioning, because she didn't think that Li Xiaoqing's result would be so satisfying now, and she knew Li Xiaoqing's situation better than everyone present.
The crowd heeded her initiative and raised their beer glasses together.
βxiexieγ β
Li Xiaoqing drank the beer in one gulp and whispered in Du Yaping's ear.
Du Yaping smiled knowingly.
"You haven't read the report of a certain evening newspaper these days. β
Gao Yunteng no longer coveted Li Xiaoqing, his mood was much broader, and he began to talk about social events.
"There is still something I don't know about this big thing. Is it about the 'still eternal' corporate tax exemption?"
Dong Qingyuan took over the conversation on the side.
"This 'still eternal' company is too capable of scraping the people's fat and people's cream. made 320 billion in two months, which is also incredible. β
"I got off the mobile version of 'Smart Genie', which is really great, and it makes sense for a company with such a high technology to make some money. β
"That is, what does that reporter mean? The appearance of a company with intellectual property rights in Huaguo is a disruption to the order of the shijie industry? Does he have a brain? β
"Maybe he's a hired lackey in some country. β
"I'm also using the 'Smart Elf'. β
The classmates at the wine table had a lot of discussions about this matter, and Li Xiaoqing listened to their views with great interest. Li Xiaoqing is still very pleased, in fact, their views represent the views of the majority of ordinary people, and they are in most people's support for the "still eternal" company.
Du Yaping stabbed Li Xiaoqing.
"Xiaoqing, I remember that your daughter's name is still and your son's name is Eternity, right?"
"yes, I gave them a good name, right?"
Du Yaping shook her head, as if she sensed that something was wrong, but she couldn't understand.
Wang Weier knocked down her wine glass on the table to attract the attention of her classmates, and sure enough, the eyes of the classmates at the table were attracted by her, and even Li Xiaoqing was curious about what Wang Weier was going to say.
"Ladies and gentlemen, have any of you ever seen the CEO of the 'Still Eternal' company? I have seen him, his name is Cheng Peng, the young man is very handsome, he is only twenty-eight or nine years old this year, and his assets are billions of dollars. is a veritable rich and handsome, the fifth king of diamonds. I heard that he is not married and is a single nobleman. β
"Xiao Wei'er, you won't be fascinated by the fifth king of diamonds, right?"
Dong Qingyuan made a joke about Wang Weier.
"Dong Qingyuan, I'm obsessed, I'm not stepping on two boats. My aunt and grandmother are still single. β
"Auntie, you can do it, I'll go, the current woman is amazing. β
Everyone cheered, and Li Xiaoqing also laughed. She didn't see that Cheng Peng's local mayor was handsome, and she didn't expect that Cheng Peng's guy was more feminine than her husband. Liu Fei doesn't know how depressed she is now, it seems that it is not a good thing for her boyfriend to be too showy.
"I've heard our boss say that a few months ago Cheng Peng was a migrant worker who came to Shanghai to look for a job. I once starved for a day in a hotel because my wallet was stolen. And on this day, he met a nobleman. That's when it soared. β
Li Xiaoqing asked Wang Weier.
"Is your boss Wang Hongbin?"
"By the way, do you know who is the majority shareholder of our hospital?"
"Who?"
The classmates at the table had been led by Wang Weier's nose all the time, and they became curious about her questions. This is also because the people at the table are just ordinary people, and they know very little about the things that are almost household names in the Shanghai business community.
