Chapter 3 Past and Present
Although Ye Fan is not a so-called successful career, because of some reasons and experiences, he now has some capital in his hand. Not long ago, he happened to buy a Mercedes-Benz, and the price is higher than Liu Yunzhi's Toyota, but if he uses this to judge his status, he feels quite vulgar.
More than ten minutes later, Ye Fan drove to the meeting place - the Moon City on the Sea.
This is a super entertainment city integrating catering and leisure. It is located in a prime location and surrounded by a very prosperous area. The main body of consumption can be seen from the various medium and high-end cars in its parking lot.
Just three years after graduating from college, most of his classmates are not yet successful in their careers. Ye Fan feels that it is somewhat extravagant to choose such a gathering place.
When he walked out of the parking lot and came to the Mingyue City on the sea, he soon saw several familiar figures, all of whom were classmates who came to the party, some of whom had not been seen for three years.
"Ye Fan!" At this time, a handsome young man found him, greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "This is your fault. As the landlord of this city, you have appeared for a long time. It should be you to initiate and organize this party."
This handsome young man, named Wang Ziwen, is one of the organizers and initiators of this party. He was a very active person in college. It is said that he has developed very smoothly in another city in the past three years, and his assets are already quite expensive.
Several other people also met. Although they haven't seen each other for a long time, the crowd was very warm.
Obviously, Wang Ziwen is waiting for someone here, and the people who can make him stand in front of the Mingyue City on the sea are only limited to two or three people, which is easy to guess.
Wang Ziwen is a smart man. He did not continue to stay here to wait for people alone, but led the way in front of him while talking and laughing, accompanying everyone into the bright moon city on the sea. There is a careful business center on the fifth floor, which can accommodate 30 to 50 people for meetings and has been chartered.
At this moment, it's getting dark outside, and the students who came to the party are almost here.
The arrival of several people immediately made the atmosphere of the scene lively. Many people greeted them, and they could get back together to have a feeling of the passage of time and space dislocation. The trance coincided with some scenes in college.
Three years after graduation, everyone is already twenty-five or twenty-six years old. Several of them are married, and two of them have become little mothers.
Everyone has their own different life trajectories, but in general, most of the students are ordinary people. The ideals and ambitions of the past have been polished by time and are about to disappear completely, and return to the ordinary in the ordinary life.
The dream is gone, and most people are soberly aware that they are just an ordinary person.
Ye Fan was taken to the other side by Wang Ziwen. He carefully observed and found that the students here were either successful in their careers or people with some backgrounds at home.
"Ye Fan, if you come so late, you must be punished for three cups."
"Three cups are too few, and you underestimate Ye Fan's drinking capacity." Lin Jia also sat here, with Danfeng's eyes slanted, with a slender figure, beautiful curves, and touching.
"Which beautiful woman wants to punish me?" Ye Fan also assigned several male classmates to the ranks of beautiful women.
"If you take advantage of us as soon as you come here, you will be punished, and you will be punished severely!" A man and a woman agreed with the outside world and began to sharpen their knives.
Liu Yunzhi has a certain background in the city. Naturally, in this small group, he said casually, "I thought you would wait for a taxi for a while."
This was a little cold when it came out. Everyone present knew that Liu Yunzhi had a grudge against Ye Fan when he was in college. Now he is developing smoothly in this city, and at this moment, he inadvertently points out that Ye Fan came here by taxi, which is really a little obvious.
Other students also noticed the situation here and looked this way, but Ye Fan just smiled indifferently and didn't say anything.
"I'm going to pick up Zhou Yi outside." Wang Ziwen changed the topic, and then turned around and left.
Lin Jia talked about cosmetics with two female classmates and a few famous brand clothes. Others also said some interesting things in the past. The short cold scene just now was exposed, and it became warm again for a while.
However, after what happened just now, the atmosphere was somewhat delicate. No one asked to punish Ye Fan, but there were more words around Liu Yunzhi.
Although Ye Fan was a popular figure in college, everything was not important after he walked out of the campus. Now whether his career is successful or not is the most valued.
There are eyes around from time to time. It seems to be a special circle here. The students here are all students who have developed well at present, but at this moment, Ye Fan has a tendency to be marginalized.
Ye Fan has always been very calm about this, but in the end, he stood up and left here and sat down with some other classmates. He didn't want to be imprinted as a special group by other classmates.
Cosmetics and famous brand clothing are always the favorite topics for female students, while male students talk about news and current affairs from football, with a wide range of topics.
Half an hour later, the 25 people who came to the party arrived. There were 33 students in the class, three of whom were studying abroad, while the other five failed to arrive for some special reasons.
Several sponsors and organizers of the party delivered speeches one after another, and the atmosphere was very warm. Then the people divided into several small circles and chatted freely.
After a long time, everyone left the small business center and will raise their glasses to celebrate this reunion. Without deliberate arrangements, the superiority and closeness of each table were highlighted.
Ye Fan did not sit with the small group of Lin Jia, Liu Yunzhi and others, but naturally sat at another table.
After another speech, it was very casual. Some people toasted at various wine tables, and some people were surrounded in front of the wine tables. It was difficult to move one step and were toasted repeatedly.
A lot of things have happened in the past three years, and everyone has changed a lot. Perhaps because of the stimulation of alcohol, many students have talked about their lives, some are proud and some are frustrated.
Some people hate their boss for being extremely harsh and always asking for overtime, but the salary is pitiful.
One female classmate said that her boyfriend was the department manager of a famous company, another classmate said that her husband had been promoted to vice president of the company, and some said that her fiancee was the niece of a bank executive.
And more people are silent after listening to it, and many people's lives are not very satisfactory.
One of the female classmates looked particularly haggard. Some people said that she married a person she didn't like and was not happy after marriage. Her husband drank all day long. When a classmate passed by her city to visit her, he saw bruises on her body.
"If you need any help, you can come to me..." Ye Fan felt sorry for this very haggard female classmate. He still remembered her shy and simple appearance in college. She stood outside the football field and waved hard to cheer for him.
Seeing that her life was really unsatisfactory, she nodded gloomy and gratefully and whispered thank you.
"Ye Fan, you'd better change yourself first..." The female classmate who said that her husband had been promoted to the vice president of the company said rudely with the role of alcohol, "Look how smooth Liu Yunzhi is now."
The students at this table all looked at Ye Fan at the same time, and then looked at the table where Liu Yunzhi was not far away, which is full of students who have developed very well today.
"Ye Fan, I didn't tell you. You were indeed a person in college, but everything will change after you get out of campus. You can't work hard." At this table, the male classmate who said that his fiancee was the niece of a bank executive also looked like a dogma.
When it comes to the people at Liu Yunzhi's table, some of the students here sighed, saying that some people were far inferior to themselves when they went to school, but now they can't compare.
There are also people who are cynical, very extreme, drunk and drunk, saying that those people return home and show off their wealth.
Some female classmates joked about Ye Fan, saying that fortunately, she only secretly liked him when she went to school, but now she regrets rejecting Liu Yunzhi's pursuit in those years.
It's still the original city, and it's still the original people, but after getting together again, everyone's mood is very different.
