Chapter 272: Friendship with Classmates
Among Li Ying's high school classmates, except for Xie Hong, who had seen him during the Spring Festival before Li Ying graduated, no one else knew that his image had changed drastically. Therefore, when they saw Li Ying, they were all so surprised that they couldn't believe that the dashing brother in front of them, who was tall, with eyes like a star, and teeth like Beiyu, was the short, inconspicuous sneering day back then. It wasn't until Li Ying chatted with them about some anecdotes from high school that they vaguely saw a little bit of the shadow of the sneering day from his hearty smile, humorous talk, and profound knowledge.
While drinking, these high school classmates were puzzled by the fact that Li Ying was still a small deputy section-level cadre in the Wushui County Party Committee Office, saying that he was the top liberal arts student in the Mingguang City College Entrance Examination and a graduate of the Capital University, so why didn't he stay in the capital to work? Also, after so many years, he has not heard from him, where did he go? Why did he change his surname and name now?
One classmate even asked him in a hesitant manner: Xiaotian, did you make any mistakes in school or your initial work unit before you were assigned to Wushui, a small remote mountainous county? You are so handsome and chic now, if you want to make a mistake, it must be a mistake in style!
This amused all the students at the table.
Li Ying is with these classmates, and her heart is extremely happy and comfortable: the relationship between high school classmates is the most simple, sincere, and the most nostalgic. At that time, everyone was an ignorant teenager, with few scheming and city governments, and few conflicts of interest. Moreover, it was the best time of my life, and it was also the time when beautiful emotions such as friendship and love were most likely to germinate. The friendship cultivated at this time is the most cherished, the most sincere and the lasting......
Li Ying knew that the classmate asked if he had made a mistake and was assigned to Wushui, not intentionally to ridicule or ridicule himself, but with the nature of joking, and at the same time, he sincerely cared for and sympathized with himself, so he smiled and said: "After graduating from university, I was directly recruited into the army and engaged in secret work in the Intelligence Department of the Southwest Military Region. Because of the particularity of the intelligence department, I have not been in contact with you for several years. As for working in Wushui, it was my own volition. When I was in college, I had an ambition: to study hard, learn skills, and return to Wushui after graduation to contribute to the construction of my hometown. I am now changing jobs and returning to Wushui, but I just want to realize the ambition I set at the beginning, which is not surprising. ”
Xie Hong and the others all looked at Li Ying with a somewhat complicated gaze. A classmate said sincerely: "Xiaotian, you have always been a very assertive and idealistic person. Compared to you, we are far behind. We are all people who do not have a clear goal in life, which mountain to sing which mountain, and where to go. So, you're sure to be very successful in the future. And like me, you can only go with the flow!"
After eating, Xie Hong arranged for everyone to go to a mass karaoke to sing. Everyone let go of their voices in the song hall and howled, singing songs such as "The Brother Who Slept on the Top Bunk", "You at the Same Table", and "Can't Forget" many times, and killed a few cases of beer in the box. By about ten o'clock, everyone except Li Ying was seven or eight points drunk.
After walking out of the song hall, Xie Hong and the others were still unsatisfied, and pulled Li Ying again, and they must invite him to the most famous "poinsettia" hot pot city in the provincial capital to eat authentic Chongqing hot pot.
Li Ying saw that although they were all red-faced, their interest was very high, and he knew that although these classmates were all in the provincial capital, they were usually busy with their own work, and it was rare to have the opportunity to get together like this, so he readily agreed to go with Xie Hong.
At the same time, at the door of the provincial TV station, Lin Xue, who had just finished hosting the show, was standing a little tired next to her car, listening to Director Wei arrange the rehearsal for the Spring Festival Gala of the provincial station tomorrow morning. Lin Xue is the first host of this Spring Festival Gala, and tomorrow is the first rehearsal of this year's Spring Festival Gala program, Director Wei took the trouble to explain some precautions to her repeatedly, and nagged for more than ten minutes before walking away.
Lin Xue pressed the remote control on the car key, opened the car door, and was about to get into the cab and drive back to his apartment, but saw Brother Hao, the first male host in the stage, accompanied a twenty-seven or eight-year-old young man over. Seeing that Lin Xue wanted to get into the cab, Brother Hao hurriedly hurried a few steps, ran over and whispered to Lin Xue: "Xiaoxue, Mr. Zhou has been waiting for you here for two hours, and I want to invite you to the 'Poinsettia' hot pot city for supper." You should give Mr. Zhou a face! He is a big advertiser in Taiwan, and Director Wei attaches great importance to his cooperative relationship. And, you can see, he likes you very much. A young and promising young talent like him, I think you can think about it. After all, you're twenty-five or sixteen, and it's time to think about your life's events. ”
Brother Hao is an old qualified announcer and host in the station, when Lin Xue was first assigned to the station, he was always taking her to familiarize herself with the business, in a sense, he is still her master, so Lin Xue has always respected him more and listened to him.
After listening to Brother Hao's words, Lin Xue frowned, glanced at the large bouquet of bright red roses that Mr. Zhou was holding in his hand not far away, shook his head and said, "Brother Hao, I have already told Mr. Zhou clearly: I will not accept his love, and if he doesn't always come to give me roses, he just won't listen." Also, I have to get up early tomorrow morning to prepare for the rehearsal, so I need to rest early. Forget it tonight. Next time we have a chance to eat together. ”
This Mr. Zhou is Zhou Biquan, the son of Zhou Tianxing, the chairman of the famous "Tianxing Group", and is currently the general manager of the "Tianxing Group", and is a typical second generation of wealthy people. Three years ago, he came back from studying in the United States and worked in his father's company, and met Lin Xue at a chance party, and fell madly in love with him. From then on, as long as he was free at night, he would drive to the door of the provincial TV station and wait for Lin Xue to come out.
At the beginning, Lin Xue took into account the cooperative relationship between the TV station and the "Tianxing Group", and reluctantly accompanied him out for a few suppers and attended several banquets. But later, some newspapers suddenly spread the news that Zhou Biquan, the young owner of the "Tianxing Group", and Lin Xue, the popular host of the provincial TV station, were in tow, which made Lin Xue very angry - what she was most worried about was that now Sneer, who didn't know where now, would see such gossip news, and she might lose him forever.
Since then, she has a cold expression when she sees Zhou Biquan, and sometimes when she sees him guarding the door of the TV station, she goes out through the other side door and does not meet him.
Zhou Biquan was helpless, so he found Brother Hao, who had a good relationship with him, and asked him to come forward to do Lin Xue's work.
Brother Hao knew that although Zhou Biquan was a rich son, his character was not bad, and he was not the kind of swinger who messed with flowers and grass everywhere, he was also tall and handsome, and he was also compatible with Lin Xue, so he agreed to his request......
At this moment, Brother Hao heard Lin Xue bluntly say that she would not accept Zhou Biquan's love, and knew that she had always been such a straightforward character, so he smiled and said, "Xiaoxue, there is an old saying that you don't hit a smiling person when you reach out." Mr. Zhou is also the chairman of a multinational group, and he has an advertising cooperative relationship with our station, and the annual advertising cost is hundreds of millions. According to my estimates, a large part of the reason why he has invested so much in advertising in our station in the past two years is because you are from our station and because he loves the house and Wu. Now, it's time for us to sign an advertising contract with Tianxing Group again. If you are worried that you will not be able to get up early tomorrow, you can sit down in the hot pot city for a while, have a few words with Mr. Zhou, and come back first. It's just half past ten, and there shouldn't be a big deal. ”
Lin Xue heard Brother Hao put this matter in line with the interests of the stage, and saw that he was very sincere, and he was really embarrassed to refuse again, so he reluctantly nodded and said, "I have something to say first: I will sit there for a while, at most half an hour, and I will come back first." Don't be embarrassed by me. ”
Brother Hao nodded, turned around and beckoned to Zhou Biquan and said, "Mr. Zhou, let's go together, you lead the way, and we will drive behind you." ”
When Zhou Biquan heard that Lin Xue agreed to eat hot pot, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, suddenly trotted over, stood still in front of Lin Xue, respectfully handed the bouquet of red roses in his hand to Lin Xue, and said: "Miss Lin, thank you for appreciating the light! I wish your life and career to be like this bouquet of roses, prosperous and vigorous! I wish you eternal youth and will always be as beautiful and moving as now!"
Lin Xue couldn't help but laugh when he heard his mouth open, and teased him: "I can't see that you are gentle and elegant, and your mouth is still so oily! ”
Zhou Biquan's face turned red and defended: "Miss Lin's mouth is too unforgiving. What I just wrote was sincere, and there was nothing beautiful about it. I feel that my praise for you is not quite in place, and you fully deserve a higher evaluation. ”
Lin Xue listened to his words as if she was indeed sincere, although she didn't like him, she was still a little happy in her heart, so she made an exception to take the rose in his hand, opened the car door and threw it into her car.
Zhou Biquan looked at her BMW and said, "Miss Lin, there are three of us, there is no need to drive two cars, you just take my car, and I will send you back then." ”
Lin Xue waved her hand and said, "You better lead the way quickly, I'm used to riding my own car, and I'm not used to your luxury car of more than 10 million." ”
