Chapter 37: The State of the World [Revision]

The next time, Shi Zhong drove to the Pearl of the Sea, which is a super entertainment city integrating catering and leisure, located in a prime location, surrounded by very prosperous, from its parking lot in a variety of high-end cars can be seen the main body of consumption.

Shi Zhong saw that there were still a few parking spaces in the parking lot at the entrance, so he didn't go to the underground parking lot, parked the car directly in the parking space next to the door, and then got out of the car and walked to the underground parking lot.

At this time, there were already five or six people chatting together at the agreed place, and they hadn't seen each other for just a year, but when they saw them, Shi Zhong was like a dream for ten years, and everyone had changed a lot.

"Shi Zhong, here, you're late!"

There was a young man in a black suit who saw Shi Zhong waving his hand, Shi Zhong walked over, he recognized this person, called Ding Ding, I remember that when I was in college, the two of them often went to the school to go to the Internet café, the relationship was good, but after graduation, there was less contact, and the relationship was lighter, but it is said that now I work in a state-owned enterprise, and I am a good mix, just look at that suit.

Shi Zhong suddenly found that the few classmates who seemed to be present seemed to be a little unscrupulous in their own clothes, and the others were wearing a shirt with trousers, while he was actually a casual shirt with denim.

"Shi Zhong, you are a busy man, the time is just right!" It was Du Quan who spoke, the one who called him yesterday, although he said it was a little ridiculous, but why was Shi Zhong so uncomfortable when he listened?

"What are you busy with, fooling around!" Shi Zhong waved his hand and said, "It's not like you, I heard from my classmates that I opened a company, and I made a lot of money!" ”

Du Quan showed a "humble" smile and said: "Shi Zhong, in fact, with your conditions, you are definitely better than me, I have always admitted that your ability is stronger than mine, I knew this when I was in college, so I chose not to break through alone, in this era, it is difficult to mix without taking advantage of some relationships!" ”

The rest of the students were mostly in agreement and kept nodding their heads.

"How? Shi Zhong, I heard that it doesn't mix very well? It's not a brother's show-off, if you really can't get along, you can come to me, I will help if I can, after all, everyone is a classmate! Du Quan patted Shi Zhong on the shoulder and said very sincerely, but Shi Zhong felt that he just enjoyed the feeling of being on top.

"Then I will quit my current job now, and Mr. Du will also help me, my requirements are not high, I studied finance, is there a shortage of financial directors in your company or something?" One of the classmates teased.

Although it was just a joke, it could also be seen that the rich Du Quan was obviously the center of several people around him.

Only Ding Ding patted Shi Zhong on the shoulder, and with a look, signaled Shi Zhong not to care.

Where would Shi Zhong worry about them, if it weren't for the friendship of his classmates, he wouldn't want to come at all.

"What's going on with Liu Peng and Gao Jin? It's past ten o'clock, and it's not here yet! After about ten minutes, Ding Ding complained.

"They seem to be going to female classmates, women, you know!" Du Quan ha.

After a while, two cars drove in, an Audi A6, followed by Toyota.

Three women and one male classmate got off the Toyota, as well as Liu Peng.

There were three men and one woman in the Audi car, including Gao Jin, and the woman made Shi Zhong stunned for a moment, it was actually Bai Ling, who was in graduate school, but shouldn't she be a graduate student at Fudan University?

Du Quan took the lead in greeting with a smile on his face, although it was a classmate relationship, but in society, this relationship seemed to have been inevitably mixed with utilitarian factors, Ding Ding hesitated, or stepped forward, but fell in the last place.

"Stone Bell! Haha, what a rarity! After a few words of greeting with Du Quan and the others, Gao Jin walked over with a smile, and shook hands with Shi Zhong extremely hard, with indescribable meaning in his eyes.

"Long time no see!" Shi Zhong smiled, only he knew the meaning in Gao Jin's eyes.

"Shi Zhong, why, you didn't say hello to me when you saw me?" Bai Ling was dressed in tight denim, with a tunic on her upper body, and a delicate face, looking at Shi Zhong with a smile.

"I didn't expect the white beauty to be charming!" Shi Zhong also smiled and said, this Bai Ling is a good friend at the level of college, she is very beautiful, but she has no boyfriend so far, in her words, she would rather lack than abuse.

Next, after chatting with Bai Ling for a few words, I learned that she was already a graduate student of Jiangsu and Zhejiang University, and she came here as an exchange student.

"Okay, let's go up, it's not like staying in the parking lot all the time!" Gao Jindao, he is the initiator, and naturally no one objects to speak.

Fifteen people came to the box, served some drinks, and chatted with themselves.

Shi Zhong found that there were three or four small groups of these ten people alone, and two or three people were chatting there.

Shi Zhong was about to turn his head to chat with Bai Ling, but seeing that Bai Ling was chatting happily with Liu Peng, showing a happy smile from time to time, Shi Zhong stopped chatting with her, remembering that Bai Ling hated Liu Peng the most when he was in college, and he didn't even bother to say a word to him, the reason was that Liu Peng was stalking her with a little money at home, and Liu Peng blamed Shi Zhong for Bai Ling's refusal, who called Shi Zhong and Bai Ling to have a good relationship.

Unexpectedly, in the year after graduation, Bai Ling saw Liu Peng actually smiling, and she didn't see her smiling at other classmates.

However, everyone has their own attitude towards the world, after all, people want to live in reality, naturally there will inevitably be utilitarianism, self-esteem, vanity, etc., Shi Zhong is not so disgusted, but very helpless, but why should he be so troubled, his current life has nothing to do with them.

Half an hour later, Sun Zuting came, and first said sorry to everyone, saying that he was very embarrassed, and the school was delayed due to something temporary.

Shi Zhong could see that when Sun Zuting said these words, his face was a little ugly, and he seemed to be absent-minded about this gathering.

"Teacher Sun, come on, come on, sit here!" Liu Peng smiled and invited Sun Zuting to sit on their side, although his attitude was respectful, but he did not have the restraint when he was in school, after all, he is also a successful person now.

Sun Zuting was invited to speak first, and then, several initiators of the gathering spoke one after another, and the atmosphere was very warm, and then everyone was divided into several small circles and chatted freely.

Then it was very casual, some people toasted between the various wine tables, and some people were surrounded in front of the wine table, and it was difficult to move a step, and they were toasted one after another.

A lot has happened in the past year, and everyone has changed a lot, perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, many classmates have talked about their lives, some are proud and some are disappointed.

Some people hate their bosses for being extremely harsh and always asking for overtime, while the pay is pitiful.

One of the female classmates looked particularly haggard, Shi Zhong remembered that her name seemed to be Lu Xin, some people said that she married someone she didn't like, and she was not happy after marriage, her husband was a drunkard, and when a classmate passed by her city to visit her, he saw that there were bruises and scars on her body.

"If you need any help, you can come to me..." For this very haggard female classmate, Shi Zhong has compassion, and remembers her shy and simple appearance in college, standing outside the football field and waving her hands to cheer for him.

Seeing that her life was really unsatisfactory, she nodded gloomily but gratefully, and whispered thank you.

"By the way, Shi Zhong, I heard that you are running sales, it seems that you are the most promising among our few people, we are learning marketing, don't forget the brothers when you develop in the future!" Liu Peng raised his wine glass and smiled at Shi Zhongdao.

As soon as Liu Peng's words came out, the atmosphere was different, everyone knew that Liu Peng and Shi Zhong had a personal vendetta, and now Liu Peng mixed well, Shi Zhong was a little lonely, this is not a clear ridicule of Shi Zhong.

Shi Zhong didn't care, stood up and drank all the wine, and said, "Thank you!" After drinking, he sat down, and he didn't answer Liu Peng's trick at all, which made Liu Peng a little embarrassed.
