Chapter 33 Rejection
When Tang Shuo arrived, he heard from Xiao Ran that the scale of this class reunion was not very large, and including her, there were only less than a dozen or twenty people.
When Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran entered, several people in the room stood up at the same time. They seemed a little surprised that Xiao Ran would actually come, and their faces looked very strange.
There were two dining tables in the private room. Two people were sitting at the one near the inside, and the rest were sitting at the table near the door.
"Xiao Ran, you're here. Come and sit down. It's rare for a big star like you to have time." A man who looked very mature and steady spoke first.
Xiao Ran smiled at the mature man, and pulled Tang Shuo to sit down with some embarrassment.
She should have introduced her classmates to Tang Shuo, but the problem was that she didn't remember these classmates very well.
She had been thinking about it for a long time. Among the people in the room, except for the older man, she had no impression of the others.
Even so, she still couldn't remember what the mature man's name was.
But it wasn't her fault. Back in junior high, their class had more than 50 students, some of whom were quiet and reserved. So many years had passed, so it was inevitable that her memory was a bit hazy.
"Who is this?" The mature man pointed at Tang Shuo and asked with a smile.
Xiao Ran then leaned on Tang Shuo's arm and introduced him with a smile: "This is my boyfriend Tang Shuo."
"Oh, hello." The older man smiled awkwardly and greeted Tang Shuo.
Tang Shuo also nodded slightly as a response.
He felt vaguely that something was wrong, but when he thought that he was just being used as a target, he felt relieved.
Immediately afterwards, a woman pushed open the door of the private room and walked in.
The woman was dressed very brightly, with a diamond pendant on her fair neck.
She was wearing a black low-cut, backless halter dress. Apart from revealing a patch of white on her chest, her entire back was completely exposed, making her look extremely sexy.
After the backless woman came in, she greeted the men who had been there before, then glanced at Tang Shuo and Xiao Ran and sat down at another table.
A man wearing glasses at the table inside took out his cell phone, smiled apologetically at everyone, and then walked out of the box.
Soon, the two tables in the box were almost full of people. People gathered in groups of three or four to chat, glancing at Tang Shuo from time to time, and occasionally someone would come over to chat with Xiao Ran.
However, the content of the conversation was very boring, mostly just compliments to Xiao Ran.
…………
The man with glasses, who had gone out to make a phone call, came in and walked over to the older man and whispered, "Lao Lu, we can't contact Chen Xuan. What should we do now?"
"Have you contacted Mr. Ding as well?" asked the mature man.
"I haven't been able to contact you yet," the man with glasses replied. "How about I go outside and wait?"
"Forget it, they'll understand once they get here." The mature man sighed, glanced at Xiao Ran and Tang Shuo, and said, "Let's take it one step at a time."
…………
The party was scheduled for 8 o'clock in the evening. Xiao Ran was worried about traffic jams at night so he set out a little early, so he arrived a little early.
Just when Tang Shuo was so bored that he was about to fall asleep, a fat man with big ears and a slightly thin man pushed the door open and walked in one after another.
Seeing the person coming, everyone in the room except Xiao Ran and Tang Shuo stood up.
Tang Shuo looked at the person who came and thought: The real boss has finally appeared.
"Boss Ding, you're here."
"Hurry up and sit down. We'll be waiting for you."
The fat man looked at the watch on his wrist, smiled at everyone, and said, "Sorry, there was a traffic jam on the way here, and I didn't expect to be late."
"What's the big deal? We just arrived."
"Yes, yes."
When the backless girl saw the watch on the other person's wrist, her already eager gaze became even more intense.
With a charming smile, the backless woman walked over to the fat man, took his arm and said, "Mr. Ding, come and sit down. The seat is reserved for you."
The fat, big-eared man patted the back of the backless woman's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry. Chen Xuan is the protagonist today, and he has something to announce."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the face of the man behind him.
The fat and big-eared man is called Ding Wei, and he organized today's dinner.
Originally, this class reunion would be held at the end of every year, but the reason it was held earlier this year was because of the man named Chen Xuan behind him.
There is no love without reason in this world.
If they were just ordinary classmates, Ding Wei would naturally not go to such great lengths to help the other person.
The reason for doing this now is just to win over Chen Xuan.
His family has made great achievements in the home appliance retail industry.
At the end of last year, he took over the family business from his father who died of cancer.
Initially, as most people expected, the business suffered almost continuous losses under his leadership.
But two months later, the company suddenly began to turn losses into profits, its overall appearance was completely renewed, and it maintained an absolute leading figure relative to its peers and continued to grow.
Of course, he had no credit for this.
If we have to count it, it is that he hired his classmate Chen Xuan as a professional manager of the company.
In order to keep Chen Xuan firmly in his hands, Ding Wei planned this party and encouraged Chen Xuan to confess his feelings to Xiao Ran in person.
In the box now, except Xiao Ran and Tang Shuo, everyone else knew everything about this matter.
After the thin man Chen Xuan entered the room, he looked at everyone in the private room. When he saw Xiao Ran next to Tang Shuo, his eyes never moved away.
He fell in love with Xiao Ran the first time he saw her in junior high school.
Because his family conditions were not very good, he never dared to express his feelings to her in person.
The two went to different high schools.
So Chen Xuan suppressed his love for Xiao Ran deep in his heart and began to study frantically.
He believed that one day he would meet Xiao Ran again. By then, he must be qualified to bring Xiao Ran happiness.
God will not let down those who work hard.
He took the college entrance examination in his second year of high school and was successfully admitted to Fudan University. During his four years in college, he obtained a double degree in business administration and economics from Fudan University.
At a job fair held by a multinational company, he became the only student in the department to get an internship opportunity with the company thanks to his excellent performance.
After meeting Xiao Ran again, Xiao Ran was just a small star who seemed to have no future.
Chen Xuan thought his chance had come. After rescuing Xiao Ran from being ridiculed by his classmates, he decided to confess his feelings to Xiao Ran.
After being rejected by Xiao Ran, Chen Xuan did not give up.
He felt that it was because his ability was not enough and Xiao Ran didn't have a boyfriend, so he still had a chance.
Finally, he resolutely resigned from his well-paid job in a multinational company and joined his classmate Ding Wei's company to hone his skills.
Today he independently controls a company with assets of nearly one billion, and the company is expanding rapidly.
Although Xiao Ran is now well-known, Chen Xuan feels that with his current qualifications and experience, he can definitely bring happiness to Xiao Ran.
Chen Xuan took out a box from his pocket, walked up to Xiao Ran, opened the box and said, "Be my girlfriend!"
"I'm sorry." Xiao Ran shook his head, pulled Tang Shuo over and said, "I already have a boyfriend."
No one can explain love clearly.
If you like it, you like it, and if you don’t like it, you can’t force it.
When Xiao Ran knew that Chen Xuan had been working so hard for him, what he felt was not his sincerity, but a burden!
Chen Xuan glanced at Tang Shuo, wiped his eyes which were beginning to become moist, and said with a forced smile, "Congratulations."
Ding Wei quit after hearing Xiao Ran's answer.
It was because Chen Xuan was rejected by Xiao Ran last time that he had the opportunity to persuade Chen Xuan to come and help him.
This time Chen Xuan was rejected by Xiao Ran again. Maybe he would not only fail to steal the chicken but also lose the rice.
So he walked up to Tang Shuo indignantly and asked, "What do you do?"
Tang Shuo glanced at the fat and big-eared Ding Wei and was too lazy to answer him.
Chen Xuan stopped Ding Wei, put the ring back in his pocket, and said with a smile: "Why are you all standing there? It's a rare occasion for classmates to get together. Come on, sit down."
Ding Wei snorted coldly, turned around and walked towards the backless woman's position.
The opening was unpleasant, so the atmosphere of the meal was naturally not very lively.
After finishing the meal, Chen Xuan stood up and said to everyone, "Let's go to Hongyingyan for a drink tonight. It's my treat!"
Everyone looked at each other, not knowing how to respond.
Chen Xuan stood up and walked over to Xiao Ran, saying, "Let's go together. You've already rejected me twice. You won't refuse me such a simple request, right?"
