Tang Yikun's purpose of inviting Tao Tang to the banquet was guessed by the other party. Tang Yikun was indeed going to talk to Tao Tang about the demolition of Red Star. Although this matter is not something that Tao Tang can decide, Tao Tang is in a very critical position. Preparing for a rainy day and anticipating enemy opportunities is one of the secrets of Tang Yikun's success, and he knows that it is beneficial and harmless for him to establish a personal relationship with Tao Tang earlier.

He never expected Tao Tang to take a broken car to win. The grade of the car is too low, it is still dirty, and the body is splashed with mud, like just returning from camping. Red Star Company is more difficult, but he knows that Red Star Company's Audi A6 can form a huge team to welcome relatives, this Tao Tang, which play is this for me?

Moreover, Tao Tang also called three irrelevant classmates, what the fuck does this mean?

Thinking wildly in his head, Tang Yikun pushed away Tao Tang's outstretched hand and hugged the other party tightly, "It's been twenty-five years, I can't imagine that your hair is already gray." Haha, I haven't forgotten the punch you gave me, no, this revenge must be avenged today. ”

"Don't mention it, the kick you gave me isn't good. When I was struggling with the time, I was thinking about how to clean up your kid when I went out. Ha ha. Tao Tang also hugged Tang Yikun back.

The employees in front of the clubhouse had never seen the big boss behave like this, and they immediately understood that this middle-aged man with gray hair but a light body was the absolute guest of honor today.

"Lu Qi!" Tang Yikun let go of Tao Tang and saw Lu Qi at a glance, "Oh, have you turned back time?" Lv Da Beauty, you can completely crush the confidence that Old Tang has built up with great difficulty. ”

"Okay, Big Boss Tang. If it weren't for Tao Tang, Boss Tang wouldn't have seen us grassroots. Honestly, isn't it? Don't deny it! I've been in Hiraizumi for more than 20 years, and I've never left Hiraizumi except for four years in school. ”

Tang Yikun was a little embarrassed, "It's serious, you didn't leave Pingquan, I'm running around, where can I be as comfortable as you...... Oh, Sun Dunquan! Get down, leave your car alone, just leave the keys and someone will take care of it. This is ......"

"Han Ruilin." Han Ruilin saw that Tang Yikun couldn't remember himself, so he had to report to his home.

"Yes, yes, Han Ruilin. Look at my memory. I'm really sorry. Tang Yikun snorted and gestured backwards.

An assistant in his thirties behind him understood, and immediately went to make arrangements. Originally, Tang Yikun prepared a small banquet that was extremely private, but now there are three more guests out of thin air, and from the room to the dishes, they have to make corresponding adjustments.

After meeting, Tang Yikun invited, "Everyone, let's go in, go in and talk." With that, he took Tao Tang's hand and walked towards the revolving door, "I also have one of our classmates here, Luo Shaoxing." But he has something to do today, and he can't come. Ask me to bring it to you. Old Tao, does he remember you? ”

"Really? How is he? Are you okay? ”

"Take care of the stall of the security guard of Donghu Real Estate, that kid is blessed, and he may not recognize it when he sees it."

Lu Qi regretted it a little. Sun Dunquan seemed to see what she was thinking, "I'm right, right?" ”

"What did you say?" Lu Qi, who was deliberately a few steps behind Tao Tang and Tang Yikun, asked in a low voice.

"Class! We are all foils. Remember Zola's novel? ”

Lu Qi didn't say anything. Her attention fell on Tao Tang. Today's dress is too inconsistent with his identity: an extremely ordinary white shirt and jeans, and the leather shoes under his feet are also very old, such a dress cannot be associated with the CEO of a large state-owned enterprise with tens of billions of assets and tens of thousands of employees. The key is to walk with Tang Yikun, who is full of famous brands, which is too incompatible. He's representing the Red Star! In Lu Qi's view, although Donghu Industry is already a household name in Pingquan, it cannot be compared with the red star with deep roots.

Is it habit or intentional? She couldn't figure it out.

Out of habit, she paid attention to Tang Yikun's dress just now, the suit was Givenchy's, the leather shoes were crocodile's, and the tie was not clear, but when he hugged Tao Tang, she saw the eye-catching Maltese cross on Tang Yikun's watch, just that watch, you can almost buy a suite in Golden Olive, right?

What a bitter word for "class ......", the classmates who used to sit in the same classroom now have a huge gap between them. People and people's abilities are not the same, just like the lathe in the workshop, operating the same model of machine tools, but the quantity and quality of the products are not the same, there should be a difference in remuneration, but how big should the difference be?

The interior of the ordinary East Lake Club is a luxury that Sun Dunquan has never seen. Needless to say, the decoration and furnishings alone were densely packed in all the eye-catching positions and the beautifully dressed beautiful female greetings made him marvel, where did Tang Yikun collect so many beauties? The beauties all bow in the same graceful posture as they walk by, saying welcome in the same feminine tone. Thinking of all kinds of rumors about this mysterious club that was not open to the public, he remembered Liu Bang's sigh when he saw the grand guard of honor of Qin Shi Huang on patrol: The husband should be like this. But Xiang Yu is different, Xiang Yu, who was born in the aristocracy and looks down on the world, said to his uncle Xiang Liang that he can replace him.

He will not be able to replace him in his lifetime, unless there is another violent revolution of the last century. Even if such a revolution occurs, it will not be his turn to enjoy the fruits of victory. What he can do is to give out envious admiration like Liu Bang. If he turned back the clock twenty-five years, he would not have thought that Tang Yikun, who had been ghostly all day, would achieve such a foundation. At that time, he Sun Dunquan was recognized as a top student in Red Star No. 1 Middle School, and the golden road of his future life was opening to him. But in the eyes of everyone, the road in front of Tang Yikun is undoubtedly a rugged mountain road. But who would have expected it now? Turning around to look at Han Ruilin, who was walking last, and seeing him looking at the waitress with plump breasts and dyed blonde hair, Sun Dunquan let out a long sigh again in his heart.

Instead of taking the elevator, they walked up the second floor up a curvy and wide staircase, where a two-man oil painting hung on the wall, showing a plump and muscular nude woman in the style of Ingres, her pink skin glowing seductively in the light of a crystal chandelier.

"Old Tang, it really lives up to its name, a bit like the legendary Xiamen Red Mansion." Tao Tang exclaimed.

"Touched by the light that Pingquan is a small place, if it is left in Yanjing, I am afraid it will be rustic. However, this is our own territory, and students are welcome to visit at any time, both public and private. Oh, this is it, Zhou Hongyou has arrived, he said that he has already met you......" Tang Yikun, who walked side by side with Tao Tang, said.

Lu Qi had been watching Tao Tang's back, and had also noticed the performance of Sun Dunquan and Han Ruilin after entering the clubhouse. Sun Dunquan seemed to deliberately not look at the furnishings and beauties in the hall of the clubhouse, and tried to maintain a demeanor that did not squint, while Han Ruilin was completely ugly like a sow breaking into the radish cellar. Because he couldn't bear Han Ruilin's obscenity, he hurriedly walked in front of Sun Dunquan and Han Ruilin, and approached Tao Tang, who was walking in front. Tao Tang is also observing and appreciating, but he is more interested in looking at those exquisite crafts and paintings, and sweeping away those young and beautiful girls, and rarely stays on the girls. Lu Qi remembered the novel "Emperor Yongzheng" she had purchased, and there was a plot in the book that she remembered deeply, which was to describe the demeanor of Li Wei, a native of Yongzhengmen and later the governor of Liangjiang, who was in a high position - both unconcealed love and ease. Yongzheng's political opponents were amazed, thinking that he was the real master. It's not a real hero who pretends to ignore the beauty and gold silk.

Turning a screen, Tao Tang saw Zhou Hongyou who was standing at the bottom of the corridor on the phone, and Zhou Hongyou also saw them, waved his hand to say hello, and lowered his voice. It was probably an important call, otherwise he wouldn't have been hiding at the end of the hallway.

"Here, please." Tang Yikun personally pushed open the heavy box door.

A woman standing by the window watching the scenery turned around and stretched out her hand to Tao Tang from afar, "Tao Tang, do you still know me?" ”

Tao Tang couldn't remember who this tall woman in a dark green cheongsam was, "Forgive me for being clumsy......"

"Mr. Tang, you lost your bet with me......" The woman squeezed her eyes at Tang Yikun.

Sun Dunquan and Lu Qi, who were following Tao Tang, recognized the cheongsam woman at the same time, "Gu Meijun!" Lu Qi shouted out first.

Tao Tang remembered that it was Gu Meijun. Once spent a year in class 58, when the arts and sciences were divided, Gu Meijun and Lu Qi went to the 61st class of liberal arts together. Back then, Gu Meijun was a man of the year in the class, the squad leader, and the secretary of the Youth League branch, and he was also an excellent student in his studies. However, like Sun Dunquan, his results in the college entrance examination in the first year were abnormal, and he re-read elsewhere, and he never met him again.

"Come to think of it, it's our Gu class leader. Where is it now? Tao Tang smiled and shook Gu Meijun's outstretched hand.

"I made a bet with Old Tang just now, and I said that you must not recognize me, but he didn't believe me. How about now? Gu Meijun didn't answer Tao Tang's question, and shook hands with Sun Dunquan, Lu Qi, and Han Ruilin one by one, but obviously just coping, without the enthusiasm for Tao Tang just now.

"What's the bet?" Compared with Tao Tang, Lu Qi and Gu Meijun are much more familiar, they have always been classmates in high school, but they have lost contact with each other later.

"A glass of wine, a big glass."

"Squad Leader Gu is now a powerful figure," Tang Yikun said with a smile, "The general manager of the company department of the Provincial Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, is it amazing?" Holding the power of life and death of enterprises in the province. ”

"Don't listen to him. Boss Tang talked about Tao Dacai's return to his hometown, and asked me if I would come to celebrate, how could there be any reason not to come? Just now he said the opposite, you are my food and clothing parents, it's too late to stammer. Isn't it? Gu Meijun said to Tao Tang.

"Today is a class reunion, not a reception party, and the theme must not deviate. Sorry, I use the bathroom. Tao Tang went to the bathroom.

"Everyone, please feel free to sit down. That's just a few of us. Tang Yikun beckoned everyone to take a seat, picked up the cigars on the table, and smoked Sun Dunquan and Han Ruilin.

"Let's get out of the way, a bunch of smokers. Oh, Lu Qi, how do you maintain it? What's the secret? You can't hide it. Gu Meijun grabbed Lu Qi's hand again and pulled him to the window, "Don't say it, Tang Yikun really has some taste, the East Lake Club is in Bei'an, and it is also absolutely first-class." ”

It was not yet dark, and when I looked out of the window, my eyes were full of thick green. The thick ginkgo biloba, the vigorous camphor, the sycamore like the cover, the golden cinnamon with the crown like a giant umbrella, and the rustling arrow bamboo against the root of the wall...... Lu Qi didn't expect that at the back of the main building, there would be such a beautiful garden.

"Working in Bei'an? Do you come back often? Lu Qi retracted his gaze and asked.

"I don't come back often, my parents are in Bei'an, and Pingquan has no relatives. What about you? Always in the Red Star? ”

"Where can I go? It would be nice to have a place to stay. Although Lu Qi and Gu Meijun have been classmates for three years, they are not close to each other, and Gu Meijun's sense of superiority from time to time also makes Lu Qi uncomfortable, and she really regrets agreeing to come to the class reunion.

"Look at what you said, our 58th class is a dragon and tiger class, and there are many characters. Now that Tao Tang is back, Red Star is not your world? ”

"If it's also Tao Tang's world, it has nothing to do with us ordinary people...... Lu Qi withdrew his gaze from the window, and saw Tao Tang coming out of the bathroom shaking his hand and talking to Tang Yikun.

"Really, don't smoke?" Tang Yikun took back the cigar handed to Tao Tang.

"It's been years."

"Stop it! That's all there is to it. Tang Yikun first baked the body of the cigarette on the lit blowtorch, and then lit a cigar for himself with a special match, spewing out a puff of light blue smoke.

Sun Dunquan carefully admired the cigar as thick as his fingers, and Han Ruilin said that he was not used to smoking.

"Can't afford to smoke to be exact! The price of this brand should not be less than 200 yuan, right? I'm talking about each one. Even if it's three cigarettes a day, how much does it cost for a year? A Passat was pumped out. Sun Dunquan said.

Zhou Hongyou finally came in, he heard Sun Dunquan's calculation, and thought to himself, Tang Yikun's calculation method is not like this, he may draw a Passat in a year, but he may earn back ten Audis. The consumption of the rich is production, but the average person does not understand it......

"I'm really sorry for the old classmates, but I have delayed everyone's time. Old Tang, are we seated? I just answered a phone call, and there will be a meeting at eight o'clock, I'm really sorry. He shook hands with Lu, Sun, and Han one by one, and the enthusiasm on the surface could not hide the indifference in his heart.

"Okay, okay, since the mayor has official business, let's start, we are all classmates, regardless of the guest of honor, everyone please feel free to sit down......" Tang Yikun beckoned everyone to sit down, and said to the waiter standing by the door, "Talk to the kitchen, the dishes are a little faster." ”

Lu Qi's afterglow kept looking at Tao Tang, and when she saw him standing diagonally opposite her, she sat down nearby, she looked at Gu Meijun again, and saw that she was sitting on Tang Yikun's left, she hoped to be next to Tao Tang, but she was embarrassed, so she beckoned, "Old Han, sit down." Lu Qi greeted Han Ruilin, who didn't say a word since he entered the private room, like a transparent person.

Han Ruilin sat down, just sitting between Tao Tang and Lu Qi.

Tang Yikun, who was the host, looked at it, "Hey, I said, did classmate Lu Qi change his seat with Lao Han?" Sister Gu, your old man should also move his ass, and it is better to be next to our Mayor Zhou. ”

"Why is that?" Gu Meijun asked with a smile.

"Students, today is a small class reunion, unfortunately only two girls came, but they are the best, Gu Meijun is the class leader, Lu Qi is the class flower, they are all the treasures of our class. Since it is a treasure, it must be cherished, and it must be placed in a heavy protection, right? ”

"What's the reason for that?" Saying that, Gu Meijun still changed places, between Tang Yikun and Zhou Hongyou.

Han Ruilin had already stood up, and Lu Qi pushed the boat down the river and changed seats with Han Ruilin.

Tang Yikun glanced at the table, and there were three drinks in front of everyone, Wuliangye in the wine measuring container, French cognac in the goblet, and a large glass of freshly squeezed grape juice in front of everyone. He picked up the wine measuring vessel and filled the small wine glass, got up and said, "Students, please allow me to say a few words. First, thank you for coming, it has been 25 years since graduation, and it is very meaningful to get together. Second, it can be regarded as picking up the wind for Tao Tang. Lao Tao has been drifting abroad for more than 20 years, and now he has returned to his hometown, which must be celebrated. So everyone must drink and have fun today. Now I propose that we take a cup together and walk together. Oh, Lu Qi, how can you serve grape juice? No, no, the first three glasses must be liquor. What is liquor? It's feelings! Who is eligible for red wine drinks? If it doesn't suit your taste, you can change the wine. Lao Sun, you are also in vain, don't think about driving, I will send someone to send you back later. ”

Now that Tao Tang has guessed his intentions, there is no hurry, there is an opportunity. Tang Yikun thought.

"Okay, it's still Old Don who thinks it through. All I know is how much I drink...... Since it's for me to catch the wind, I'll also say something. After Tang Yikun finished speaking, Tao Tang stood up.

"No problem, you say." Tang Yikun sat down.

"We have to set a rule, let's have a class reunion, and we will only talk about friendship today, not anything else. Violators will be fined a glass of wine. ”

"Agreed, that's it. What other rules does Mayor Chow have? Let's talk about it together. Tang Yikun thought to himself, you kid is really a ghost.

"I would like to add that from now on, it is not allowed to call the position, and violators will also be fined a glass of wine." Zhou Hongyou said with a smile.

Sun Dunquan gave Lu Qi a look, and of course Lu Qi understood. Han Ruilin also breathed a sigh of relief, from the moment he entered the clubhouse, he felt a heavy pressure. He was active in participating in this class reunion, and his original intention was to be close to Tao Tang, but on this occasion, where is the opportunity for him to speak.
