When Zhao Jinyu drove to Fisherman's Wharf, the restaurant where the party was held today, it was almost six o'clock, long past the agreed time of 5:30. Just love surfing the Internet
Although he arrived relatively late, the timing was just right. When the car arrived, there happened to be a car leaving on the side of the road, so he didn't have to spend time looking around for a parking space.
Zhao Jinyu backed the car into the parking space. As soon as he got out of the car, he heard someone calling him from behind, "Zhao Jinyu, here you go, wow, your car is nice!"
"It's okay," Zhao Jinyu turned around and responded casually. Seeing the two boxes of liquor in Yang Jun's hands, he came over and helped take one box, and said with a smile, "No, are you drinking liquor tonight?" Are you prepared to never return home without getting drunk?"
"Thanks, the car is parked a little far," Yang Jun said with a smile, "There are more than thirty people, how can two boxes of liquor be enough? Not only liquor is prepared, but also beer and red wine, depending on everyone's preference."
"It's easy to get drunk if you drink several kinds of wine together. I made a mistake today. I didn't expect the road to be so congested today. I'm sorry to be late." Traffic jam is definitely the reason why latecomers come here.
Zhao Jinyu said this not entirely perfunctorily. He went out at about the same time as usual, but he forgot that today was the New Year holiday and there were many cars on the road, so it took him a little longer to arrive than usual.
Yang Jun sighed deeply before speaking, "You live far away and there's nothing you can do about the traffic jam. It's not too late for you to come. Jiang Li called me just now and said that there are still five or six people who haven't arrived. Take a bus from the school. It's only two stops away, and it only takes ten minutes to walk here, and I don't know what they are busy with."
Zhao Jinyu couldn't help laughing when he heard Yang Jun's complaint. At a gathering like this, not many people could arrive on time. After entering the society and starting to work, maybe many people will slowly start to pay attention to the concept of time for attending appointments on time.
Around six o'clock in the evening is when the restaurant's business is at its best. What's more, today is the New Year's holiday, so the business is even more popular than usual. The entire hall was packed and bustling, making Zhao Jinyu feel as if he had arrived at the cafeteria of Beijing University for a moment, and it was still meal time.
Zhao Jinyu looked at the guests in the hall and said, "This restaurant doesn't look like much from the outside. I didn't expect the business to be so good."
"Yeah, you probably haven't been here before, right? Their food tastes very good, the portions are plentiful, and the price is not high. Many students nearby like to come to their house for gatherings. If I hadn't arrived a few days in advance this time, I would have You may not be able to book a private room.”
Zhao Jinyu smiled teasingly, "Squad leader, you have put a lot of thought into preparing for this gathering, right?"
Yang Jun smiled sheepishly, "No, it's not just me this time, Jing Hang, Jiang Li and the others also contributed a lot."
The two of them walked and chatted, walked through the lobby on the first floor, went up the stairs, turned left, and saw four or five young people in fashionable and decent clothes walking towards them.
The two people who had been walking side by side in the middle moved aside together, leaving the left half of the corridor free to allow the people on the opposite side to pass.
Zhao Jinyu didn't pay attention to Yang Jun's expression next to him. He only noticed a young man opposite. The expression on his face changed slightly when he saw him. When their eyes met, the other person smiled and nodded to him, and he immediately smiled and nodded in return. Neither of them spoke a word until the two sides passed each other.
After a few people walked over, Zhao Jinyu couldn't help but turn around and look at the backs of those people and fell into deep thought. He definitely felt the kindness shown by the other people towards him.
"Squad leader, do you know those people just now? Are they from our Beijing University?" Zhao Jinyu decided to ask Yang Jun, who knew a lot about everything.
Yang Jun had just noticed that Guo Yinuo, who was walking in the front, nodded to Zhao Jinyu, and thought they knew each other. However, the two of them didn't even speak, and he thought he had seen it wrong. But even if he didn't know him, he was considered a celebrity at Beijing University. He couldn't help but ask, "Don't you know Guo Yinuo?"
"Guo Yinuo?"
"Yes, that's the one who was walking in front and smiling at you just now. He is the chairman of the student union of the School of Economics and is quite famous in our school at Beijing University. The other guy in a dark gray down jacket, I forgot his name, seems to be from our school too.
Guo Yinuo is from Zhengzhou. I heard that his family has a good background. He has already established his own company before he graduated. I heard from other people that it seems to be developing well. "
After listening to Yang Jun's words, Zhao Jinyu showed a thoughtful expression, but in the end he didn't say anything.
In a few words, the two of them had arrived at the door of the Jixiang Hall. Yang Jun, who was walking in front, stood in front of the door, raised his foot and kicked it twice, then took a step back.
Wu Xuan opened the door and shouted when he saw them, "Zhao Jinyu, you are half an hour late. You will be punished with three drinks later."
Zhao Jinyu motioned for him to look at Yang Jun next to him and said with a smile: "The squad leader is here too. You only said to punish me. Aren't you treating me differently?"
Xia Dan, who was sitting next to him, smiled and raised his slender index finger and shook it, "No no no no, the squad leader has arrived a long time ago. He is working as a coolie. It is excusable. Mr. Zhao, you are different. Please accept the punishment." Right! Of course, the squad leader has worked so hard today, we will definitely give him a few toasts later, can you guys agree?"
"good!"
As soon as Xia Dan finished speaking, a group of people echoed her and cheered loudly.
"You are treating me too differently. Am I not the same? I can see that you are collaborating to bully me!"
Xia Dan and others couldn't help laughing when they saw Zhao Jinyu's pretended aggrieved expression.
As soon as Zhao Jinyu was about to sit down in the empty seat next to him, Li Bo, who was sitting on the other side, waved to him, "Hey, Zhao Jinyu, come here, come here and sit here."
When he was walking that way, he saw a person inadvertently, which made him quite surprised. He couldn't help but take a second look. He happened to be looking over. Zhao Jinyu smiled and nodded. The other person subconsciously gave him a smile in return, just with a smile on his face. The smile on his face seemed a little stiff. It was obvious that he was not used to such occasions.
"Why did you arrive just now today?" Li Bo was a carefree, straightforward and somewhat familiar person. As soon as Zhao Jinyu sat down, he put his arm around his shoulders, raised his chin and asked, "What did you say to me just now?" He said hello, do you know him?"
Zhao Jinyu looked at Li Bo with a strange expression on his face, "Luo Yunfei and we are both classmates in the same class, how come I don't know him?"
Li Bo patted him hard on the shoulder and whispered, "Awesome, when he came in just now, I didn't recognize who he was for a long time."
For Luo Yunfei, a classmate, Zhao Jinyu really only knew him and had never interacted with him.
Luo Yunfei doesn't like to talk, his grades in the class are average, he is disciplined in class, and he usually doesn't get into trouble. He is the kind of student who is neither good nor bad, and it is difficult to attract the teacher's attention.
In addition, he looks ordinary and can't be found in a crowd. He has an average family background. His hair almost covers his entire forehead. He also wears old-style glasses. He holds a book every day and is taciturn. I basically don’t interact with the classmates in the class, and it is difficult to attract the attention of the classmates. I have almost no sense of presence in the class.
Of course, there is no sense of presence anymore. After all, they are in the same class. Li Bo said that he could not recognize him is a bit exaggerated. However, Luo Yunfei dressed like this today, it really feels like he is a different person. Zhao Jinyu felt that he had not only changed in appearance, but also inwardly. He felt that he was more energetic than before.
"Two poems written by Luo Yunfei were published in this issue of Literary Youth," Li Jinghang, who was sitting on the other side, continued.
"Really? How did you know?"
The expression on Li Bo's face was just a little surprised, and he didn't feel that there was anything great about it. It's no wonder that Li Bo is like this. In Beijing University, there are many famous poets and writers, not to mention those who can write a few poems. People like Luo Yunfei are really not worth making a fuss about.
Li Jinghang didn't give in. When he asked, he immediately said, "I heard what the squad leader said."
Zhao Jinyu subconsciously glanced at Luo Yunfei again, "I didn't expect Luo Yunfei to be quite talented, not bad!" This may be the reason why Luo Yunfei changed. Although at Beijing University, where talented people are everywhere, a person who can write a few poems is really not a big deal, but the fact that his poems can be published in magazines can be regarded as an affirmation of his personal ability.
Li Jinghang chuckled, but the expression on his face was a bit disapproving, "How can he be considered talented in front of a great god like you? You praise him too much."
Zhao Jinyu glanced at him and said with a smile, "Hey, are you sure you're not scolding me?"
"I'm not telling the truth. But to be honest, Luo Yunfei is a little more pleasing to the eye now than before."
He has never hidden his dislike for people with Luo Yunfei's personality. Of course, even if he doesn't like him, he will not make any small moves against him. Most of the time, he will adopt a ignoring attitude.
"Don't you all notice that Luo Yunfei has changed a lot from before? In the past, he really lived in classrooms, libraries, dormitories, canteens, four o'clock and one line of life. Starting some time ago, he went out to distribute leaflets and work in fast food restaurants Hourly workers will say hello when they see me." Yang Jun, who had just sat over, said softly.
"It is difficult to find a job in our major. If you don't have any connections at home, it will be difficult to find a good job after graduation. You must make plans in advance."
Li Jinghang touched Zhao Jinyu with his elbow and said with a sly smile, "I heard that the boss in your dormitory brought back a lot of apples this Christmas. How are the sales going?"
"You also know that I don't live on campus now. I only occasionally go to take a nap at noon. I'm not too sure about this." In fact, he knew the final outcome of the matter.
Zou Nan himself was embarrassed to say that Wei Liming told him later that except for the three people in their dormitory who were forced to spend fifteen yuan each to buy two, he actually sold very few of them himself, and the rest were all his. My girlfriend later took it out and sold it.
"To be a salesperson in school, you must not only be good at talking, but also good at building relationships. You must be diligent and thick-skinned. Don't be afraid of being said. I think Zou Nan in your dormitory is a little confused!" Yang Jun's words were relatively straightforward. .
"This has to be a process. It cannot be accomplished overnight. There are still more than two years until graduation, so there is no need to be too anxious." We are always in the same dormitory, and I still want to help explain something.
Li Bo heard that Yang Jun and others had turned the topic to future employment or self-employment, and said dissatisfiedly, "I said, it's rare for everyone to get together today, can't you talk about some lighter topics?"
He Yanmo, the study committee member who had been silent just now, asked Yang Jun, "Yang Jun, who else hasn't arrived? We can't keep waiting like this. If we wait any longer, I think other people will have opinions." Usually. In the cafeteria, we started eating before five o'clock. It's already past six o'clock now, which is indeed a bit late.
Yang Jun nodded, "I'll send a message to those people. Whether they arrive or not, let the waiter serve the food in ten minutes."
But before Yang Jun could send a message to several people, Meng Kai, who was sitting on the other side of the private room, shouted to Yang Jun, "Sir, squad leader, when will we have food? Are you sure the time you told them is tonight?" It's half past five, you didn't say it was half past five tomorrow, right?"
When Yang Jun heard someone say this, he replied loudly without bothering to send a message, "It's definitely not wrong. Just wait for another ten minutes. Wu Xuan, go and talk to the waiter."
Li Jinghang, who was sitting beside him, curled his lips and snorted dissatisfiedly, "Yang Jun, why are you paying attention to him? In a whole room of people, he is the only one who has many people!"
Seriously speaking, there is nothing wrong with what Meng Kai said just now. It was just a joke, but it was said in Meng Kai's somewhat sinister tone, which made people feel a little uncomfortable.
Zhao Jinyu looked at both sides without saying a word. He didn't want to get involved in the overt and covert fighting between them. It is said that the members of the class committee are now tending to divide into several factions. Li Jinghang, who is both a native of Kyoto and a classmate in middle school, is obviously on Yang Jun's side.
He personally felt that Yang Jun was capable and fair, and the squad leader was quite competent, but that didn't mean that everyone felt the same, and Life Committee Member Meng Kai was one of them.
It is said that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and where there are rivers and lakes, there are fights. Where there are fights, there are naturally cliques.
Although campus life is relatively simple, it is only relatively speaking. For students with certain financial backgrounds, they are still very popular among those students. As a second-generation rich man, Meng Kai has a lot of people gathered behind him even though he is a bit arrogant.
As for Zhao Jinyu, it's not that Meng Kai didn't show his kindness, but it just had no effect and was still the same as before. He could only comfort himself. Even if he didn't promise himself, at least he didn't explicitly favor Yang Jun.
I don't know whether it was because Yang Jun sent a message just now to rush him, or because those people were already on their way here. Before the food was officially served, those people finally arrived.
The group of people were indeed hungry. There were still relatively few people sharing drinks at the beginning of the banquet. They just focused on filling their stomachs. After a few rounds of dishes were served, the atmosphere in the room began to slowly become lively.
