Chapter 002

After Ren Pingsheng sat for a while, Chang Yuan stood in the center of the box. He held a glass of red wine, knocked the cup with his knuckles, and said in his unique bass voice: "Students, classmates, everyone, calm down."

After the audience's eyes were focused on him, Chang Yuan spoke slowly: "Tonight is the 10th anniversary party of our classmates in Class 3 of the 2002 Economic and Management Class. All the classmates gather here... to make our classmates more intimate..." He said a lot of high-sounding words, and when everyone was almost impatient, he finally got into the topic.

"I'm very happy that most of the students in this party class came, but there are still some students who can't come for some reason. They also miss the old classmates very much and miss our classmates for four years. Fortunately, the technology today is already well developed. With the strong assistance of our classmates Zhai Daocheng, you can connect to each other wherever you are on the earth."

"Now, let's connect together."

Zhai Daocheng is a member of the 108 dormitory. He is now the vice president of an Internet company in Hanhai City. He has entered the gold collar class and is proud of his youth. On the court that day, in addition to Gao Yuanyuan with his own halo and Chang Yuan who ran all over the venue, he was the most popular.

Moreover, Zhai Daocheng is still single and can be regarded as the fifth diamond princess. In addition, he is also pretty good. He was a pretty white face when he was in school. Now he has a greasy head and two beards on his upper lip. He looks quite Korean-style, which has attracted many female classmates who are still charming around him.

However, although the female classmates were active, Zhai Daocheng was a precious person and a valuable job. During the afternoon party, he always had endless calls. Even in the noisy KTV box, he could hear his communication with the other end of the phone.

Zhai Daocheng held an IPAD in his hand and slashed a few times. A dialogue window connecting the distance immediately appeared on the 60-inch flat-screen LCD TV in the box. In today's booming smart devices and the Internet, remote video dialogue is no longer difficult, but Chang Yuan and Zhai Daocheng obviously did a lot of preparations for this party.

The first conversation was Deng Pengnian. He was from Anshi, a senior official in Sanqin. He is now the construction site supervisor of China Overseas Construction's port construction in Djibouti, East Africa. Because he is in the southern hemisphere, the sunny day on the other side of the connection. Deng Pengnian was wearing a winter dress that had not yet been changed and stood in front of the busy construction site. His cheeks were tanned by the sunshine of East Africa, but he still did not deviate from the simplicity and honesty of the past. He used Qin Opera to reminisce about his classmates and introduced his work and life overseas. Although the living conditions in East Africa are not as good as those in China, it can be seen that he loves and prides in his work.

The second conversation was Qi Tianbao, who is from Jiangcheng City, Jingchu Province. After graduation, he has been engaged in mining procurement. His main business scope is Southeast Asia. Currently, he is talking to everyone on the beach in Manila, Philippines. Behind it is the sea, sky, beach and beauty in bikini. After graduation, he is obviously much fatter than when he was at school. His belly is raised under the plaid shirt. Qi Tianbao on the other end of the conversation is very active, showing his superior status and life in the Philippine island country, his behavior and words are full of greasiness as a successful middle-aged man.

The third conversation was Zhu Jieran. As soon as she appeared on the screen, the students present couldn't help but exclaim. No one expected that the beautiful woman on the screen with long hair, tall and slim, delicate facial features, and a cute smile was actually a fat girl who had a boy's head and weighed 200 pounds back then. Due to her appearance and figure, she had been the object of teasing others behind the scenes for four years in college. Some vicious male classmates linked her surname to some kind of livestock and gave her many insulting nicknames.

Unexpectedly, in the years since graduation, Sister Zhu not only put aside her past, but also evolved to another level in life. It is said that after graduation, she passed the postgraduate degree from Cambridge University, obtained a doctorate degree from a high-level master's degree in Paris, and then went to Wall Street in the United States to find a job. She is currently a senior analyst at the internationally renowned investment bank Goldman Sachs Group. She grew from an ugly duckling who was ignored back then to a white-collar beauty with outstanding temperament.

Zhu Jieran was wearing a tailored professional attire and stood in the crowded Times Square in New York to greet her classmates. Although she has been overseas for so many years, her Mandarin is still very standard, and of course she will inevitably mix a few English words in the conversation. Looking from the screen, she is full of energy, confident, and her every move is elegant and grand. She is completely the style of a successful person who wanders among all countries.

Although the connection time was only a few minutes, Zhu Jieran had become the center of the topic of the students present, and even Gao Yuanyuan's limelight was stolen a lot.

Especially the male classmates, they all regretted that they lacked the wise eyes and did not discover the potential of the fat girl back then, and they fantasized about how chic, if they had won the international beauty on campus, they would not know how free and easy it would be.

People should not behave like a person, and the sea cannot be measured. No one knows how many of the students were able to use their talents, how many could reverse their destiny, and how many could realize their ideals and pursuits in life?

Ren Pingsheng sat in a corner of the box, observing the bragging of the male classmates and the smirks of the female classmates, feeling that he was looking at a well-designed drama, with old-fashioned scripts and poor acting skills of the actors.

He can even write the script that will happen below. When the songs are almost the same and the wine is almost the same, these male and female students who have long been aiming at the target can use the name of alcohol to get along with the male and female students who have not succeeded at school, in the name of making up for the regrets of that year.

After tonight, countless female classmates' husbands will be green on their heads.

Ren Pingsheng had no interest in this and had no intention of continuing to watch other people's acting careers. He drank a few glasses of water, and his drunkenness had disappeared. While no one was paying attention to his existence, he stepped out of this smoky private room.

There were not many people in the hotel at this time. Ren Pingsheng walked along the empty corridor and looked at the night view of the city lights outside the window. Before he reached the end of the corridor, he saw Gao Yuanyuan's beautiful figure.

When he was at school, Gao Yuanyuan was one of the four beauties recognized by Hanhai University. Although she hadn't seen each other for many years, the years did not leave too many traces on her.

The delicate facial features are more radiant under the embellishment of high-end cosmetics. The wavy curly hair dyed into dark red is casually draped over her shoulders. A pink Chanel suit wraps around her curved figure. Her shiny white skin is obviously carefully maintained, and there is also a white GUCCI handbag on her arms. Everything is so high-end, so tasteful, and so in line with Gao Yuanyuan's family background and lifestyle.

She leaned obliquely on the railing to make a phone call, her curly hair like clouds draped on the pink Chanel skirt like waves. Her beautiful and generous face was a little unhappy at this moment, as if someone on the other end of the phone angered her. Her two slender and beautiful willow eyebrows frowned from time to time, and her thin red lips opened and closed, and she was furious at the other end of the phone.

When Ren Pingsheng approached, he happened to hear Gao Yuanyuan finish his last sentence: "I don't care about your affairs, and you can't care about mine. Don't take yourself too seriously."

After saying that, Gao Yuanyuan immediately hung up the phone and turned off the phone, leaving no chance to fight back.

Although her family is superior, Gao Yuanyuan is not as arrogant and domineering as some of the children of some officials. When she was at school, she was known for her kindness and etiquette, so she received unanimous praise from the school.

The two were not very familiar with each other when they were at school, but at this time there were only each other in the corridor, and Ren Pingsheng could not treat it as if he had not seen it.

So, although Gao Yuanyuan had the cold frost of December on her jade face, Ren Pingsheng walked up to her as if nothing had happened, took out his cigarette box and said, "Come on one?"

Gao Yuanyuan waved her hand and declined. She took out a small and delicate cigarette box from the GUCCI handbag and drew out a slender black-handled gold filter lady cigarette.

Ren Pingsheng turned on the lighter and leaned over. Gao Yuanyuan's cold face instantly melted halfway, showing a reserved smile, and lowered her head slightly and lit a cigarette in Ren Pingsheng's hand.

Ren Pingsheng also lit one for himself. The two of them leaned back against the railing and each spit out a smoke ring, which was comfortable and relaxed.

Gao Yuanyuan's smoking movements were very elegant and beautiful. She used three thin and white fingers to clamp the golden filter, and hugged her slightly bent elbows in front of her chest. Judging from her gradually calming down her chest, the cigarette calmed her mood a lot.

"Why are you coming out by yourself?" Gao Yuanyuan glanced at Ren Pingsheng, and most of the cold in her eyes disappeared.

"It's too noisy inside, and it's not interesting." Ren Pingsheng shrugged. He didn't need to ask, and knew that with Gao Yuanyuan's current status, he would basically not stay in such occasions for a long time.

"Haha, you are still the same as before." Gao Yuanyuan said with interest.

"Oh, how did I do before?" Ren Pingsheng asked with a smile.

"It's usually silent and seems to be invisible to many people, but they will do some extraordinary and surprising things." Gao Yuanyuan's comment was quite insightful, which made Ren Ping's life unexpected.

He believed that he had no social relationship with Gao Yuanyuan, but she could accurately describe her behavioral traits.

"Oh, I really didn't expect that you are my long-lost confidante." Ren Pingsheng's words were a bit teasing, but Gao Yuanyuan was in a much better mood now and didn't mind.

She snuffed out the remaining half of the lady's cigarette, stood up and said, "The air here is not good, please accompany me for a walk."

Before Ren Pingsheng could answer, Gao Yuanyuan walked downstairs with a GUCCI handbag. Ren Pingsheng quickly accelerated his pace and followed her. The two walked side by side into the garden at the back door of the hotel.

Gao Yuanyuan is about 172 tall, with two long legs and 10 cm high heels under her feet, which is half a head taller than Ren Pingsheng. However, no matter what she is present, her walking posture is very elegant, so Ren Pingsheng can keep up with her rhythm.

"Do you know, what impressed me the most during college?" Gao Yuanyuan said gently shaking her soft fluffy wavy curly hair.

The aroma of high-end perfume and cosmetics wafts into the nose with the wind, strolling at night with the goddess-level beauties recognized during college. This feeling has been felt in his life, but it has not been relived for a long time.

He didn't say much, Gao Yuanyuan continued to talk.

"One is that you actually won Zuo Xiaoxiao's heart, which none of us expected." Although Gao Yuanyuan's words were a bit hurtful, this was indeed Ren Ping's greatest achievement so far. It was not only beyond the expectations of many people, but also he himself felt lucky.

Gao Yuanyuan did not take into account his feelings and continued: "The second one is that you were admitted to the civil servants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang Province before graduation. Although you are not a civil servant of state ministries and commissions, it is rare among our classmates."

Ren Pingsheng was speechless. The civil servant exam was not within his original plan. At that time, only his elders at home strongly requested him. He took the exam casually with an optional attitude, but unexpectedly passed the exam once.

At that time, except for Ren Pingsheng, there were only Gao Yuanyuan and another nerdy boy who passed the civil service exam in the class. Of course, Gao Yuanyuan passed the Hanhai Municipal Party Committee Propaganda Department, and the difficulty and value of Ren Pingsheng were not comparable.

But Ren Pingsheng still became a stolen figure in the class a few days before graduation with this exam. Not only did he speak at the graduation ceremony as one of the class representatives, but he also partnered with Gao Yuanyuan to host the graduation party.

"You still remember the party we hosted together before graduation." Gao Yuanyuan indeed mentioned this. "That was the first time I met you in four years in college, and I also understood why Zuo Xiaoxiao chose you."

"I thought that with your eloquence and personality, you would develop well in your career, but unfortunately I was wrong." Gao Yuanyuan's frankness did not embarrass Ren Pingsheng. Instead, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Pingsheng has a clear understanding of the failure of his life plan. He doesn't need to hide anything in front of Gao Yuanyuan. After all, the gap between the two is almost a world of difference, so he just smiled bitterly:

"Sometimes I also think that if the superiors can give me another chance to go back to the few days before graduation, I don't know what I will choose and what will happen to me in the future."

Ren Pingsheng's words seemed to touch somewhere in Gao Yuanyuan's heart. She held on and looked up at the sky.

They walked and chatted, and before they knew it, they had already walked out of the hotel gate. Standing by the crowded street, Gao Yuanyuan's outstanding appearance and makeup attracted many passing gazes. Some young people who were fashionable and pretentious were whistling at her, but Gao Yuanyuan's noble and cold attitude that kept people from thousands of miles away made these men hesitate and dared to ask for some advantage verbally.

Ren Pingsheng stood beside him and admired Gao Yuanyuan's bright and charming side face. Her eyelashes were long and dense like fans. At this moment, a layer of hazy clouds floated with bright apricot eyes. Two slender willow leaves frown slightly, as if they were thinking about something.

After a long time, Gao Yuanyuan withdrew her gaze from the sky and murmured to herself: "The moon is really bright today."

Her words made Ren Pingsheng a little confused. Looking along her gaze, a bright full moon like an ice plate hung in the air, and the soft and warm moonlight shone on the human body and the French sycamore beside the streets, laying a piece of tiny and three-dimensional shadows, just like a picture cut from an old movie of the last century.

Ren Pingsheng looked carefully and didn't know if it was an illusion caused by alcohol. The moon was indeed extremely bright tonight. The brightness of the light was almost as bright as the sun at 5 or 6 o'clock in the morning. Moreover, the outline of the moon seemed to be a curve larger than usual, making people feel like you could touch it with your hand.

"It may be Mid-Autumn Festival is coming soon, and it is normal for the full moon to come." Ren Pingsheng seemed to have found an explanation.

But Gao Yuanyuan had already left this matter behind her. She took out a small white card from her handbag and handed it to Ren Pingsheng, and said in a rare gentle tone: "When did you figure it out? Come to Hanhai City to find me."

A brand new and shiny black Audi A8L drove to them slowly. Ren Pingsheng noticed that the license plate of the car was a white license plate starting from 0. The driver who came out of the driving seat was about in his early forties. He was in his small flat head and wearing a black jacket with a capable and mature look. He respectfully opened the back door of the A8L. Gao Yuanyuan waved to Ren Pingsheng with a smile and sat in the back seat of the A8L in a graceful position.
