Chapter 579: Attending a Class Reunion (The Second Asks for a Monthly Pass!) )
"I thought you were going to stay in the army for the rest of your life." The old chief said half-jokingly.
"How could it. Didn't I come back to see you? Liu Tao touched the back of his head and said with some embarrassment.
"But you kid did a very good thing this time! With so many veterans benefiting from your treatment, if nothing else, the combat effectiveness of the army can be increased by at least thirty percent. The old chief said with a hearty laugh.
"Are there so many?" When Liu Tao heard this number, he was stunned for a moment, and asked involuntarily.
"These veterans are the top soldiers of the army, and these old injuries have always plagued their training and progress. Now that they don't have these old injuries, their results are much better than before, and some of them have even broken the records they held before. The combat effectiveness has increased by 30%, and I think this is really too much to say. Seeing that Liu Tao didn't believe it, the old chief explained.
"Thirty percent is actually quite a lot. How are you feeling now, old chief? Liu Tao asked with concern.
"I'm fine. The air here on the island is really fresh, and it is very suitable for human habitation. The old chief smiled and said.
"That's good. If you like to stay here, stay longer. When Liu Tao said this, he turned to ask, "What about my master?" Where is his old man's house now? ”
"Lin Lao lives in the building behind me." The old chief replied.
"Grandpa Ye, Grandpa Zhao, I want to visit the master first. I'll talk to you when I get back. Liu Tao said with some embarrassment.
"Okay! Go for it. The two old men nodded.
"Old chief, I don't know where the master lives. See if you can ......," Liu Tao said with a smile.
"Stinky boy, you're the first to let me lead the way after so many years. Let's go. The old chief glanced at him, smiled, and said.
Liu Tao smiled and left the small building where Ye Lao lived after him.
Soon they came to the small building where Lin Lao lived.
"Master! I'm coming! Liu Tao walked into the courtyard quickly, opened the door, and shouted.
When Lin Lao heard his voice, he put down the newspaper in his hand, looked at him and beckoned, "Come and sit." ”
Liu Tao nodded. Come and sit down beside him. The old chief followed and walked in.
"Old Lin, you have accepted a good apprentice!" The old chief said to Lin Lao.
"Old chief!" Lin Lao saw the person coming clearly, and hurriedly got up to greet him.
"There are no outsiders here, so there's no need to be so polite." The old chief waved his hand. Then sat down on the couch.
"Liu Tao, I heard that you have been staying in the army to treat the wounds of the soldiers during this time, what is the effect?" Lin Lao asked with interest.
"It's good." Liu Tao nodded and said.
"That's good. When are you going to leave the island city and return to the provincial capital? Lin Lao then asked.
"I guess it's tomorrow the day after tomorrow. You're all here anyway, and I should go back and check it out. If you need my help with anything. Feel free to call me. Of course, I'll come and see you on the weekends. Liu Tao replied.
"That's pretty much it." Lin Lao smiled and said.
At this time, Liu Tao's mobile phone rang.
He looked at the caller ID and found that it was Fan Wenjuan calling.
He smiled apologetically at the old chief and Lin Lao, got up and pressed the answer button.
"Ah Tao, are you still in the army?" A familiar voice came from the other end of the line.
"I just got back to Island City." Liu Tao replied.
"I'm in Island City right now. If you have time, can we touch each other? ”
"Okay! Where are you now? I'm looking for you. Liu Tao immediately agreed.
"I'm in front of the Crowne Plaza Hotel right now." The other party replied.
Liu Tao is not familiar with the island city, and he does not know where the Crowne Plaza Hotel is. However, he still asked the other party to wait for him there, and he would rush over quickly.
When he hung up the phone, he said to the old chief and the master, "A friend called me to find out something. I'm going to go over now. I'll come back to see you when I'm done. ”
"If you have something to do, go quickly, and leave us alone." The old chief nodded and said.
Liu Tao quickly came out of the small building. Brother Zhan was standing outside all the time and never went in.
He was shocked right now. He never dreamed that he would meet the old chief and Premier Zhao here, and these national leaders, who had previously only been seen on news broadcasts, were now alive in front of him. The strength displayed by the young patriarch made him feel a little suffocated, it was really terrifying! If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have agreed anyway.
"Brother Zhan, are you okay?" Liu Tao saw that his face was a little pale, and couldn't help asking.
"It's fine." Brother Zhan came back to his senses and shook his head. said: "Young Master, why did you come out so quickly?" ”
"My girlfriend called me. You know the Crowne Plaza Hotel, right? Liu Tao said.
"Yes. This hotel is the property of the old man. Brother Zhan nodded and said.
"She's waiting for me right now. Send me there. Liu Tao said.
"Yes!" Brother Zhan quickly drove the car over. When Liu Tao got into the car, he started the car and left the sanatorium.
Fifteen minutes later. They appeared in front of Fan Wenjuan.
"Sister Juan, aren't you attending a class reunion? What do you want me to do here? Liu Tao stepped forward and kissed the other party's forehead and asked with a smile.
"Class reunions are allowed with family members. Originally, I thought it would be okay if you weren't in the island city. Now that you're back, it's natural to follow. Fan Wenjuan's face showed a sweet expression.
Seeing her say this, Liu Tao smiled and said, "I'll introduce you to you." This is Brother Zhan. My friend. ”
"Young Grandma!" Brother Zhan shouted respectfully.
"Huh? What are you calling me? Fan Wenjuan was shouted by him like this, and jumped directly! It's just scary!
Before Brother Zhan could speak, Liu Tao preemptively said: "Brother Zhan, don't call her a young grandmother, it sounds weird and awkward." You just call her Xiao Fan. ”
"That's not appropriate, is it?" Brother Zhan asked with some embarrassment.
"There are no outsiders here, so what's suitable or inappropriate. By the way, she is also the granddaughter of the patriarch. Liu Tao smiled and said.
"Ahh Now it's Brother Zhan's turn to be surprised! He didn't expect that the incomparably beautiful woman in front of him turned out to be the granddaughter of the patriarch, but fortunately he didn't say anything wrong!
"Alright. Let's go inside. Liu Tao saw the expression on his face and smiled at Fan Wenjuan. Hand in hand walked into the hotel.
The hotel's lobby manager immediately greeted him.
However, instead of greeting Liu Tao, he shouted at Brother Zhan: "Brother Zhan! Are you here for dinner? ”
Brother Zhan shook his head and said, "Young Master has a party here. ”
"Young Master?" When the lobby manager heard this title, he immediately glanced at Liu Tao. I was shocked in my heart.
"Hello, young master. I'm the lobby manager of the hotel, you can call me Ah Xiang. The lobby manager hurriedly said.
"Hello." Liu Tao nodded at him slightly, and said, "You are here to chat with Brother Zhan for a while, and we will go up and have a look." ”
"Young Master. Have you booked a spot yet? Which private room? I don't know if it's the young master, you're here for dinner, I'll immediately order someone to clean up the best private room. The lobby manager hastened to be courteous. He took it for granted that Liu Tao was the young master of Old Man He's family, and if he didn't take advantage of this time to show himself well, he didn't know when he would be promoted and get rich.
"No, you don't." Liu Tao waved his hand and said, "I'm here to attend a party, and they have already booked a private room, so I won't trouble you." I'll look for you if there's anything you need. ”
"Ah Xiang is happy to serve the young master!" The lobby manager hurriedly said.
Liu Tao nodded and took Fan Wenjuan's hand upstairs.
"Ah Tao, what is the origin of that war brother? Why did he call you young master? And the lobby manager of this hotel seems to be afraid of him. Fan Wenjuan couldn't help the doubts in her heart. I couldn't help but ask.
When Liu Tao heard her ask these questions, he couldn't help but stretch out his fingers and gently scratch her nose, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhan is a member of the Baolong clan. I am now the young patriarch of the Baolong clan, so he always calls me young master in front of outsiders. As for why the lobby manager is afraid of him, the reason is very simple, this is the hotel of the boss of Brother Zhan. ”
"I'll tell you." After listening to Liu Tao's words, Fan Wenjuan immediately understood.
Wait until they get to the reserved private room and knock on the door. Then, the door opened, and a group of people appeared in front of them.
This private room is quite large. There are two dining tables inside. It can accommodate at least 20 people at the same time.
At this time, there were already fifteen people in the private room.
When they saw Fan Wenjuan and Liu Tao coming in, they greeted each other.
"Wen Juan, you've become more beautiful!" One of them, a fashionably dressed woman, greeted.
Fan Wenjuan smiled at them, and then introduced Liu Tao to everyone. Then. The two sat down at the table on the right.
Since she was a graduate of Shima City Normal College, all the people who came to this party were college classmates. Of course, most of these students who came stayed in the island city to work, and those who were far away could not come over.
For them now, everyone has finished their studies. The content of the organic chat is basically work-related.
"Wen Juan. What are you doing now? I heard that you are not a teacher? A young man sitting next to Liu Tao asked.
"Yes. I now have my own investment company. Fan Wenjuan nodded and said.
"Oh? Is it? That's good! The young man didn't expect Fan Wenjuan to mix very well, smiled and exclaimed.
"It's okay. Mix up and eat. How are you? Fan Wenjuan asked.
"I'm now a teacher at Island City No. 1 Middle School." The other party replied curtly. You must know that they all studied teacher training at the beginning, so some of them chose to be teachers when they were employed. Of course, there are also some family connections who have done something else.
Huang Mengbi is one of them.
He also initiated this meeting. In his senior year, he passed the civil service examination directly to enter the municipal party committee of the island city and served in the municipal party office.
Although it will take two or three years for everyone to graduate, it is basically impossible to see who is better than whom. But people like Huang Mengbi, who just graduated and entered the work of the municipal party committee, are definitely the best in their class so far! If this momentum continues, perhaps in another 10 or 8 years, he will become the secretary general of the municipal party committee.
However, when Liu Tao and Fan Wenjuan came in, he had not yet arrived. If he knew that Fan Wenjuan came with her boyfriend this time, it is estimated that he would be able to vomit blood! You must know that he chased Fan Wenjuan for four years when he was in college! It wasn't until she graduated from college that Fan Wenjuan left the island city that it was over!
While everyone was chatting, a young man in a suit and leather shoes walked in from outside. When everyone saw him come in, they all got up.
This person is Huang Mengbi. When he saw Fan Wenjuan, he hurriedly took two steps and came to the other party to greet him: "Fan Wenjuan, long time no see." ”
"Yes! Long time no see. Fan Wenjuan replied politely.
"How are you doing now? Are you still teaching at Binjiang No. 4 Middle School? Huang Mengbi then asked. He only has Fan Wenjuan in his eyes now, and he doesn't see Liu Tao at all.
"Nope. I now have my own investment company. Fan Wenjuan shook her head and said.
"Really? I didn't think that in a few years, you would become a strong woman in the business world. Huang Mengbi smiled and said.
Fan Wenjuan didn't speak, just nodded.
"Who is this?" Huang Mengbi only noticed Liu Tao at this time and couldn't help asking.
"He's my boyfriend, Liu Tao." Fan Wenjuan hurriedly introduced.
"What? Is he your boyfriend? When Huang Mengbi heard this answer, his face changed greatly! He originally wanted to take the opportunity of this party to continue chasing Fan Wenjuan, but he didn't expect Fan Wenjuan to find a boyfriend! And also a boyfriend who looks like a student! Isn't this an old cow eating tender grass?
"Yes!" Fan Wenjuan nodded, a smile on her face.
Huang Mengbi glanced at Liu Tao, and the expression on his face looked very ugly. He was thinking in his heart about how to make this kid retreat and leave Fan Wenjuan obediently!
"Director Huang, in your eyes, is it only Wen Juan who doesn't have us old classmates?" A female classmate was a little jealous and coquettish.
"How can you!" Huang Mengbi hurriedly said hello to the other students.
Then, he counted the number of people and found that they were all there, and then he asked the waiter to bring the menu.
Since this party was initiated by Huang Mengbi, he also came to buy it. However, when the waiter put the menu in front of him, he handed it directly to Fan Wenjuan, who was sitting next to him, and said with a smile: "You guys look at it." ”
Fan Wenjuan ordered a dish casually. Then the menu passed down one by one, and everyone ordered a dish.
"Wen Juan, what is your boyfriend doing? Why don't you tell us about it? When everyone ordered the dishes, Huang Mengbi asked Fan Wenjuan.
"He's now attending Dongshan University." Fan Wenjuan smiled and said. (To be continued.) )
