A little old but very clean, a white shirt with cuffs, white-washed jeans, white sneakers, a blue canvas schoolbag cross-body, and a plain and refreshing Bai Xiaoding walked through the corridor of the banquet hall of the international hotel with a tall posture and vigorous steps. Compared with four years ago, his figure is much stronger, the edges and corners of his face are more distinct, his thin lips are tightly pursed, and his slender eyes are shining, firm and deep.

In the four years of college, Bai Xiaoding has read a lot of books, including many philosophical monographs. Although he did not have a deep understanding of the ideas of the great philosophers, it was enough to make him develop the habit of thinking, which made him feel good, but to outsiders who were not familiar with him, he would feel a little silent and unusual.

For example, when he met the oncoming waiter in the corridor and greeted him, Bai Xiaoding always responded sincerely one by one. He believes that although the job of the waiter is to serve the guests, he is completely equal to the guests in personality and should be respected by the guests.

When Bai Xiaoding walked into the VIP private room, the six waiters standing in a row bowed to him at the same time and said in unison, "Hello guests." ”

"Hello!" Bai Xiaoding also bowed to the waiters very politely, and that seriousness provoked several waitresses to laugh together, thinking that Bai Xiaoding was deliberately amusing them.

"The white charcoal is here."

With the greeting, Bai Xiaoding turned around and saw Yan Xiaose smiling towards him, he greeted him, and was about to have a bear hug with Yan Xiaose, Yan Xiaose suddenly made a breakthrough with the ball, Bai Xiaoding immediately stretched out his arms to defend, and the two of them moved back and forth, and finally hugged each other tightly before separating for a long time.

"My good brother!" Yan Xiaose looked at Bai Xiaoding's face, "I haven't seen you for a year and a half, you are dark, thin, and strong!" ”

"Hehe," Bai Xiaoding smiled, "Welcome home!" ”

"Hey, that's enough for you two! Is it good to pay attention to the point of impact? Don't act like you're doing it! Seeing Bai Xiaoding and Yan Xiaose walking over shoulder to shoulder, Du Xiaolei teased, everyone laughed together and sat down.

"Xiao Se," Bai Xiaoding looked around, "Why do we have to be here when our old classmates have a party?" Isn't it a little bigger? How much does it cost? It's too extravagant! ”

"NONONONO," Yan Xiaose raised his right index finger and shook it, "It's not a big deal!" How long have we not seen each other? It's been almost two years! Dude, I miss you, but this kind of honorable courtesy is not enough to express my feelings of missing you! Besides, what is money? Money is a bastard! It's only fun to spend it. I originally wanted to hire a band, but then I thought about it for fear that it would affect our chat, so forget it. ”

"Alas," Bai Xiaoding sighed, "the children of rich families are willful!" ”

"It's really better to be in a hurry than to be in a hurry!" Yan Xiaose said with a smile: "I just got a college diploma from the United States, and you guys have just graduated, and it just so happens that Zhan Xiaopai is also at home!" This kind of opportunity doesn't happen all the time! ”

"By the way, why hasn't the pie come yet? I'm a little hungry! Du Xiaolei looked at her watch.

"I guess it's going to be soon, I called her before you came, and said that she was on the way, and you haven't seen her for a long time, right?" Yan Xiaose looked at Bai Xiaoding.

"She didn't come back during the winter vacation this year...... Bai Xiaoding thought for a while, "Well, it's been more than a year." ”

"Xiao Xiaolei," Yan Xiaose turned to Du Xiaolei, "Why didn't Zhan Xiaopai go back to Danbei during the winter vacation this year?" ”

"She and her parents went to her hometown in Fuzhou for the Spring Festival," Du Xiaolei said, "and they played there during the winter vacation, and went back to Beijing before school started." It is said that he will not stay long when he comes back this time, and he has already found a job in Beijing and will go back to work soon. ”

"Oh......" Yan Xiaose sighed lightly, "Our school flower, it seems that this small place in Danbei can't be kept......"

Yan Xiaose said, his gaze swept over Bai Xiaoding's face, the latter's expression was as usual, but his eyes were like candles in the quiet room, swaying slightly.

"Oh, I miss our eighty-three small group, and now there is only one Qian Xiaoying missing," Yan Xiaose glanced at everyone, "Don't say it, I haven't seen her for several years, I really miss her a little." ”

"That's right," Bian Xiaoxuan said, "I don't know what's going on with her?" I graduated from this university, and I don't keep in touch with my classmates. ”

"She doesn't just stop contacting us," Du Xiaolei replied: "She hasn't contacted anyone in our class, and I heard that she hasn't even been home in the past four years." ”

"Is she trying to break with her previous life completely?" Yan Xiaose was surprised.

"Can you break up?" Bai Xiaoding said: "Where a person grows up in life, he will always be branded there......

"It's strange to say, since I went to college, I've been trying to contact her, but I haven't been able to get in touch," Du Xiaolei pouted, "She seems to be deliberately avoiding me, and I don't know why." ”

"Hiding from you?" Yan Xiaose looked at Du Xiaolei, "No reason?" ”

"That's right," Du Xiaolei said: "You said that our classmates have been doing well in school for so many years, and we miss it after a long time, so we should contact us from time to time, right?" Anyway, I'm such a person, she didn't look for me, I took the initiative to find her, and if I couldn't get in touch, I asked about her, but it was a coincidence, she was the only one in the liberal arts class of our school that year, and then I found Qi Lianya in the second class......"

"Oh......" Yan Xiaose recalled, pointing at Du Xiaolei, "It's just that he looks very good, and he was admitted to Dalian Institute of Technology, right?" ”

"Yes!" Du Xiaolei nodded and said, "I heard her say that Qian Xiaoying mixes well, she wears a famous brand to class every day, and she is also a character in Dawai, which is quite stylish!" ”

"That's even more wrong," Bian Xiaoxuan questioned, "Isn't it generally that you don't contact old classmates and old friends because you don't mix well?" ”

"Yes," Yan Xiaose tilted her head, "It's really weird......"

After some emotion, Bai Xiaoding asked Yan Xiaose, "What are your plans to come back this time?" ”

"What can I plan," Yan Xiaose shrugged, "My father's plan is my plan, see how he plans to arrange me...... Oh, by the way, how are you looking for jobs? ”

"This year's employment situation is too bad, and it is difficult to find a job," Speaking of this topic, Du Xiaolei looked a little helpless, "My family has no way, I have already thought about it, and if it doesn't work, I will go to my aunt to do insurance." She said that the insurance company is easy to enter, not to mention the free training, the salary is paid during the internship period, and the income is not low if she does a good job. ”

"Xiaolei," Yan Xiaose asked with a smile, "Are you really going to sell insurance?" ”

"Why not?"

"Do you think you're thick-skinned enough? Didn't people say that? One person does insurance, the whole family is shameless, haha......" Yan Xiaose laughed after speaking, but the other three people didn't laugh, and Yan Xiaose accepted it in disdain.

"What if you don't do it? No matter how you say it's a job, it's not easy to find a job anywhere now, especially a slightly better position, and I can't wait to break my head. The employer has a big shelf, either requiring you to have a diploma from a key university, or requiring you to have work experience, anyway, if you don't do it, there are people waiting......" Du Xiaolei's mood has always been written on her face, and it looks quite heavy at this time.

"Xiaolei, if you really sell insurance, I'll buy the first one!" Yan Xiaose patted his chest and said.

"It's a deal!" Du Xiaolei happily pointed at Yan Xiaose, "No scalpers!" ”

"You put 10,000 hearts!"

After Yan Xiaose finished speaking, he turned to Bian Xiaoxuan, "Master Xuan, has your work been implemented?" ”

"No, I'm reviewing and preparing for graduate school."

"Huh? Didn't you say your mom was going to arrange for you to work at the EPA? Yan Xiaose then asked.

"Well, I originally had this plan," Bian Xiaoxuan explained, "but now the situation is different, my mother said that I should first take the postgraduate examination, and then take the civil service examination, and go through the normal procedure." ”

"Oh......" Yan Xiaose nodded and turned to Bai Xiaoding, "What about you, Xiaoding?" ”

"Alas, don't mention it," Bai Xiaoding shook his head helplessly, "I have submitted countless resumes and I haven't heard back, I also thought about it, but it really can't work, I will also go to Wang Da's barbecue restaurant as a charcoal chief." ”

"Forget it!" Yan Xiaose said loudly: "When the tan chief is still addicted? During the four years of college, you seem to have a vacation and went to work for that Wang Da, right? ”

"Well," Bai Xiaoding smiled, "Since he was rectified by you that time, the two of us have become friends, and he has given me a long salary......

While chatting, the door of the private room opened, and everyone turned their heads to look at it together, and saw Zhan Xiaopai appear at the door. Today's little pie has hardly changed from four years ago, still wearing a ponytail and still being beautiful and dusty, but the difference is that time, the great sculptor, has subtly erased the original greenness of her face, and replaced it with maturity and confidence.

"Oh my goddess! It's been a long time, but you're getting more and more beautiful! ”

Yan Xiaose opened his arms and walked quickly to meet him with a smile on his face, but before he could walk in front of Zhan Xiaopai, his face had changed, and his pace slowed down.
