Chapter 1385 1387【Student reunion】
In the play, Cheng Jianjun has been around Chunming and Su Meng all his life, and when he died, he wanted to make Han Chunming fall for him.
But Xiang Nan doesn't think so at all.
Be it Chunming or Su Meng, they are just passers-by in his life. Even at a certain stage, we walked together, but in the end we have to walk the road by ourselves. So we should focus on the road and not on certain people.
If you only look at others in your life and don’t look at yourself, you will go astray on your own path. Doesn't this life mean living for others? It's so injustice.
"By the way, let me tell you something. Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu want to organize an educated youth gathering and invite you to attend." Chunming said again.
"What else is there to invite? I'll just go." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu are the children of cadres. After returning to the city, they did not worry about work at all, and they entered the government office early to work. After two years of experience, they have all become small cadres, far surpassing other students, so they are very happy.
In fact, no matter educated youth gatherings, classmate gatherings, or relative gatherings, people who like to talk about it are people who are more prosperous at this stage.
Because people have a comparison mentality. People who are in a bad situation are afraid that others will know that they are bad, so they dare not make it public. Those who are in good condition have the regret of not returning to their hometown when they are rich, such as traveling at night in brocade. I wish I could let everyone know that I am not what I used to be.
Xiang Nan is in good condition now, a famous poet, a famous lyricist, a role model for educated youth, and a model for youth. There are inside and outside, to be honest, he is no worse than those cadres' children, so why doesn't he go.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan received a reply from People's Literature.
His novel "Our Field" has been reviewed and decided to be published in the next issue of "People's Literature".
Xiang Nan was very happy to see the reply.
One, when it comes to the influence of poetry and novels, novels are actually better.
Because the novel has a storyline, it is popular to hear and read, and it is more conducive to dissemination. In contrast, poetry requires a certain level of appreciation, which is not conducive to dissemination.
So writers are mostly famous for their novels, but there are fewer and fewer writers who are famous for writing poems in modern times.
Two chapters, "Our Field" has 96,000 words. And Xiang Nan is also considered a well-known writer, so the remuneration given is five yuan per thousand characters, a total of four hundred and eighty yuan, which is equivalent to a year's wages for ordinary workers.
This is a good thing for Xiang Nan.
…
Three days later, the Educated Youth Alumni Association was successfully held in Quanjude.
Xiang Nan, Chunming and Cai Xiaoli went together.
Chunming originally wanted to take Su Meng with him. After all, many of them are her alumni, even if they are not in the same class, they all look familiar when they meet.
Go out for a walk and meet your classmates, just take it easy.
But Su Meng beat him out directly.
Others are doing well, so they go to the class reunion. She doesn't even have a job now, so she has no face to meet her classmates. Han Chunming invited her to the class reunion just to humiliate her.
"Han Chunming, you despicable and shameless villain, I hate you to death!" Su Meng cursed and made Chunming spit on his head.
"In my opinion, you deserve it. Su Meng hasn't even been willing to leave the house for the past two years, and you still let her go to the class reunion. It's no wonder she wants to." After Xiang Nan heard about it, he curled his lips and said.
"I also have good intentions, I never thought she would look at me like that." Chunming said speechlessly.
"I know you are kind, but Su Meng doesn't think that way." Xiang Nan sighed, "I think she is a little dazed now. It looks like everyone wants to harm her."
Su Meng's blind date is like this these days. The young man saw that she was in good condition, a scholarly family, graduated from high school, looked upright, and had a slim figure, so he was willing to talk to her.
But after talking about it a few times, she would be thrown out by her, calling people with evil intentions, calling them impure, and calling them ambitious.
Because of her doing so, the number of people who came to the door for blind dates decreased a lot, and both Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi had a few clumps of gray hair on their heads.
Hearing what he said, Chunming couldn't help but sigh.
…
When we arrived at Quanjude, the students greeted us one after another.
"Jianjun, long time no see~"
"Old classmate, long time no see, I really want to die~"
"Jianjun, you brat, come and shake hands~"
They all said enthusiastically.
Xiang Nan greeted with a smile, while sneering in his heart.
Actually, because Cheng Jianjun is more selfish and likes to play tricks, so whether he is in school or jumping in the queue, his relationship with his classmates is not good.
So in the play, when he goes to a class reunion, basically no one pays attention to him. As soon as I went with Han Chunming, I was very popular, in stark contrast.
But now the situation is different. Cheng Jianjun in the play is just a worker. Others don't have much credit for him, so naturally they don't bother to curry favor with him.
And Xiang Nan is now the Chief of the Propaganda Section of Yili Food Factory, a well-known poet, and a well-known lyricist. He has appeared in major newspapers and has been cordially received by city leaders.
A character like this has a lot of resources, not to mention anything else, Xiang Nan can transfer people to the food factory with all his strength. Naturally, everyone is willing to serve.
Entering the second floor of Quanjude, Xiang Nan was pulled to the chief seat. Both Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli could only go to tables three and four.
"No, no, just sit at the same table with Chunming and Xiaoli." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile, "We are all classmates, don't talk about such clichés."
When Yang Huajian and others saw this, they had no choice but to let him go.
…
"Chunming, don't tell me, you already had a girlfriend before you jumped in line, why didn't you bring it?"
"That's right, it doesn't mean that your girlfriend is beautiful, has temperament, and looks like a fairy. You should bring it out and show it to us."
"Chunming, do you have a girlfriend? Tell me, are you bragging?"
After taking their seats, the students laughed and joked.
Han Chunming smiled wryly after hearing this, "Okay, don't keep talking about me. Didn't you notice that Jianjun and Xiaoli are together."
He couldn't take it anymore, so he broke the news about Xiang Nan and Cai Xiaoli, and changed the subject so that they wouldn't ask about Su Meng again.
"Yo, is it true or not?" The students really became curious when they heard it.
Xiang Nan smiled without covering it up, held Cai Xiaoli's hand generously, and said loudly, "Yes, Xiaoli and I are together, thank you for your blessings."
Hearing what he said, everyone was surprised.
Because compared with Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli's conditions are much worse.
Xiang Nan is now a well-known writer, a famous poet, the chief of the publicity department, and a model for educated youth. It can be said that in terms of his talent and popularity, marrying a son of a bureau-level cadre is not considered high-profile.
And Cai Xiaoli is just an ordinary worker, with mediocre looks, mediocre talent, no background, no status, and no fame. When Xiang Nan talked about fat friends with her, he really fell in love with her.
Cai Xiaoli looked at everyone's strange eyes, and she knew what they were thinking like a mirror in her heart.
But she wasn't angry at all, on the contrary she felt a little happy.
Whatever they think, Xiang Nan is her boyfriend, and they are mad at them.
