1387 [Classmates Reunion]
In the play, Cheng Jianjun has been around Chunming and Su Meng his whole life, and even before his death, he was thinking about tricking Han Chunming.
But Xiang Nan didn't think so at all.
Whether Chunming or Su Meng, they are just passers-by in his life. Even if they have walked together at a certain stage, they have to walk their own roads after all. Therefore, you should keep your eyes on the road and not focus on certain people.
On the body.
If you only look at others and don't look at yourself in this life, and you make your own path go astray, then wouldn't this life be equivalent to living for others? What an injustice.
"By the way, let me tell you something, Yang Huajian, Mao Zedong wants to hold an educated youth gathering and invites you to attend." Chunming said again.
"What else are you inviting? I'll just go." Xiang Nan said with a slight smile.
Yang Huajian and Mao Tutu were both children of cadres. After returning to the city, they didn't have to worry about work at all and started working in the government agencies early. After two years of experience, they had become small cadres, far ahead of other students, so they were happy to work.
In fact, regardless of whether it is a gathering of educated youth, classmates, or relatives, those who like to make friends are the more prosperous people at this stage.
Because everyone has a comparison mentality. People who are in a very poor condition are afraid that others will know that they are poor, so they dare not show off. People who are in a good condition have the regret of not returning to their hometown after being rich and honorable, just like walking at night in fine clothes. I wish I could let everyone
I know that I am no longer what I used to be.
Xiang Nan is in a good situation now. He is a famous poet, a famous lyricist, a role model for educated youths, and a role model for young people. He has a good reputation, and to be honest, he is no worse than those children of cadres, so why doesn't he go.
…
Two days later, Xiang Nan received a reply from People's Literature.
His novel "Our Field" was reviewed and decided to be published in the next issue of "People's Literature".
Xiang Nan was very happy when he saw the reply.
For one thing, when it comes to the influence of poetry and novels, novels are actually higher.
Because novels have storylines, they are popular and can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people, so they are more conducive to dissemination. In comparison, poetry requires a certain level of appreciation, which is not conducive to dissemination.
Therefore, most writers become famous through novels, while there are fewer and fewer writers who become famous through writing poems in modern times.
Second, "Our Field" has 96,000 words. Xiang Nan is also a well-known writer, so the remuneration given is 5 yuan per 1,000 words, totaling 480 yuan, which is equivalent to a year's salary of an ordinary worker.
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 her. After all, many of the people there were her alumni. Even if they were not in the same class, they would all look familiar when they met.
Go out for a walk and meet your classmates, just think of it as a way to relax.
But Su Meng beat him out directly.
Others went to the class reunion because they were doing well. She didn't even have a job now, so how could she have the 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 so much!" Su Meng cursed, causing Chunming to get a bloody blow.
"In my opinion, you deserve it. Su Meng has been unwilling to leave home for the past two years, and you still ask her to attend the class reunion. It would be strange if she agreed." Xiang Nan curled her lips after hearing this.
"Don't I also have good intentions? I never thought she would look at me like that." Chunming said speechlessly.
"I know you mean well, but Su Meng doesn't think so." Xiang Nan sighed, "I think she's a little bit crazy now. Everyone seems to want to harm her."
Su Meng's blind dates have been like this these days. The young man saw that she was in good condition, well-educated, graduated from high school, good-looking, and slim, so he was willing to talk to her.
But after only a few conversations, she would blast him out, scolding him for having ulterior motives, for being impure, and for having ambitions.
In fact, isn't this all nonsense? Anyone who goes on a blind date is rushing to get married. If this is called having ulterior motives and an impure heart, then it would be too unfair.
Because of what she did, there were a lot fewer people coming for blind dates, and Su Jingxuan and Liu Lanzhi both had a few white hairs on their heads.
Chunming couldn't help but sigh when he heard what he said.
…
When we arrived at Quanjude, our classmates came to greet us one after another.
"Jianjun, long time no see~"
"Old classmate, long time no see, I really miss me~"
"Jianjun, you little boy, come and shake hands~"
They all said enthusiastically.
Xiang Nan said hello with a smile, while sneering in his heart.
In fact, because Cheng Jianjun is quite selfish and likes to play tricks, his relationship with his classmates is not good either at school or when he joins the queue.
So in the play, when he went to a class reunion, basically no one paid any attention to him. When he went to Han Chunming, he was very popular, which was in sharp contrast.
But now the situation is different. Cheng Jianjun in the play is just a worker. Others can't take advantage of him, so naturally they are too lazy to curry favor with him.
Xiang Nan is now the head of the Publicity Department 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.
Such a person has considerable resources. If nothing else, Xiang Nan can transfer people to the food factory with his best efforts. Naturally, everyone is willing to follow him.
Entering the second floor of Quanjude, Xiang Nan was pulled to sit at the head table. Han Chunming and Cai Xiaoli could only go to tables three and four.
"No, no, Chunming and Xiaoli and I can just sit at the same table." Xiang Nan waved his hands and said with a smile, "We are all classmates, don't talk about these clichés."
When Yang Huajian and others saw this, they had no choice but to let him go.
…
"Chunming, if you don't tell me, you had a girlfriend before you jumped in line. Why didn't you bring her with you?"
"That's right, it's not that your girlfriend is beautiful, elegant, and looks like a fairy. You should take her out and show her to us people."
"Chunming, do you have a girlfriend? Tell me, are you bragging?"
After sitting down, the students laughed and joked.
After hearing this, Han Chunming smiled bitterly, "Okay, stop talking about me all the time. Haven't you noticed that Jianjun and Xiaoli are together?"
He couldn't bear it anymore, so he exposed the incident between Xiang Nan and Cai Xiaoli and changed the subject to prevent them from asking further about Su Meng.
"Hey, is it true?" When the students heard this, they all became curious.
Xiang Nan smiled and did not hide it. He took Cai Xiaoli's hand generously and said loudly, "Yes, Xiaoli and I are together. Thank you everyone for your blessings."
Everyone was surprised to hear what he said.
Because compared to Xiang Nan, Cai Xiaoli's conditions are much worse.
Xiang Nan is now a well-known writer, a well-known poet, the head of the Propaganda Department, and a model for educated youth. It can be said that with his talent and popularity, marrying the son of a bureau-level cadre is not considered a high achievement.
And Cai Xiaoli is just an ordinary worker, with mediocre looks, mediocre talents, no background, no status, and no fame. Xiang Nan is really a little secretly interested in talking about fat friends with her.
Cai Xiaoli looked at everyone's strange looks and felt like a mirror, knowing what they were all thinking.
But she wasn't angry at all, instead she felt a little happy.
