The drinking table culture easily reflects the hierarchy and closeness of people. People of the same type or with similar status will naturally sit at the same table.
Lu Tian did not sit at the same table with Liu Xinyue and others. He sat at another table naturally. The people at the table were all frustrated and unsuccessful people who had entered society. Lu Tian thought it was good this way as he could eat and drink to his heart's content.
The dishes this time are quite rich, including lobster, abalone and other delicacies. After tonight, these people really won’t be able to eat them anymore.
After that, everyone ate and drank freely. Some people toasted at different tables, while others were surrounded and toasted by others and could not move.
It has been almost ten years, and a lot has happened during this period. Everyone has changed a lot. Under the stimulation of alcohol, many people talked about their lives and work.
Some people hate their bosses for being harsh and stingy, and for paying them very little for overtime.
Some people also talked about the hardships of their own entrepreneurship, and after years of hard work, they achieved success in both family and career, and lived a happy and fulfilling life.
Many female classmates said that their husbands were department managers, bank executives or even executives of listed companies.
Many people became more silent after hearing this, and many people's lives became dull or even unhappy.
One of the female classmates looked haggard. Some said that she was now a single mother. Her husband was killed in an equipment explosion caused by alcoholism and negligence. Not only did she not receive any compensation, but she was also burdened with a huge debt.
"If you need help, just ask..."
Lu Tian felt sympathetic, remembering how innocent and naive she was when they were in college.
She silently and gratefully whispered thank you.
"Lu Tian, you should look at yourself." Kong Wu said disdainfully while holding up his wine glass:
"You have a problem with your own life, yet you still care about others and take a taxi and think you are a savior."
Lu Tian smiled indifferently and ignored Kong Wu.
A female classmate at the table joked that she rejected Kong Wu's pursuit when she was in college.
Things have changed, but they are still the same group of people. It’s just that after being beaten by society, their state of mind has changed, and getting together again is no longer as simple as before.
"Lu Tian, how is your job after graduating from graduate school?"
Many people knew that Lu Tian went on to study for a master's degree after graduation, and asked with concern.
"It's okay. My life is very ordinary. Nothing special happens..."
Just then, the people at Liu Xinyue's table came over to toast, and everyone was toasting each other, and it was very lively.
Liu Xinyue came over and had a drink with Lu Tian alone.
The party lasted for two hours. Because we were attending the school celebration in the afternoon, everyone controlled their food intake.
After the banquet, everyone naturally formed small circles to brag, chat, and sober up.
After all, don't drink and drive, and don't drive after drinking.
They just drank alcoholic beverages, but they still need some time to sober up.
About an hour later, everyone went downstairs to prepare to go to their alma mater to attend the school anniversary celebration, but they were just small figures and were just audience members in the audience.
"Xinyue, come in my car." Kong Wu parked the Mercedes-Benz next to Liu Xinyue.
There were limited seats, so some people had to take taxis, and they were embarrassed to ride in Kong Wu and others' car.
At this time, a black Qiongqi off-road vehicle stopped on the side of the road. Everyone looked at it and saw that the car was very high-end.
Lu Tian got out of the car and came to the haggard-looking female classmate: "Let's go together!"
Lu Tian felt sympathy for this female classmate.
After the meal, the female classmate looked very depressed, her face was pale, she lowered her head and spoke very little.
At this time, she saw Lu Tian park his car on the side of the road and asked her to get in. She was grateful and a little overwhelmed. She was used to no one paying attention to her, and now she was a little uncomfortable being stared at by a group of classmates.
On the other side, Kong Wu saw Lu Tian's car with a gloomy face. As a luxury car enthusiast, he recognized at a glance that this was a domestically produced luxury car worth tens of millions, the Qiongqi, which could not be bought even with money.
At this moment, he felt his face burning, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.
The person who just said that he was doing well was also a little introverted, and his face looked a little unnatural.
At this time, Zhou Cheng brought a few people and boarded the Qiongqi off-road vehicle. These people were classmates who were familiar with Lu Tian.
The Qiongqi car carrying several people gradually drove away. Kong Wu's body was stiff, and he felt as if he was being stared at by a thorn in his back. He got on the car and followed...
The campus of Peking University and Tsinghua University is one of the most beautiful campuses in the hot summer, but because of the cold weather, there is not a trace of green on the campus, and it looks very depressed and desolate.
The only things that convey the festive atmosphere are the frozen colorful flags and the red lanterns and colored lights hanging from the trees.
There are also various red welcome and centenary celebration slogans and banners.
At this time, the playground, which used to be filled with students exercising, reading, and chatting, now seems deserted and empty. Students who have no plans in such weather basically stay in the house and hide in their quilts.
Lu Tian parked the car in the parking lot, and a group of people happily came to the largest gymnasium of Peking University and Tsinghua University, which can accommodate 10,000 people.
On both sides of the gymnasium's welcoming passage stood young, beautiful and tall female students. Their faces were frozen red in the cold wind, and they greeted the guests with forced smiles.
At the door, there is a sign for the sign-in area, where teachers and students from the student union check the guests' invitations.
When Lu Tian and his companions arrived at the door, they were asked to show their invitations. Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, because no one knew that an invitation was required for the school anniversary.
"How about we go back?"
Zhou Cheng was reluctant but didn't want to embarrass Lu Tian.
These people came from far away to see the centenary celebration of the school, but it was obvious that they were not important enough and were not invited.
Qian Yue looked haggard, and the girl and others nodded in agreement.
Seeing this, Lu Tian seemed to remember something and asked everyone to stay calm while he made a phone call.
Lu Tian had just finished a phone call when Kong Wu, Liu Xinyue and others came over.
Knowing that Lu Tian and the others didn't have an invitation, Kong Wu immediately perked up. He took out a red invitation from his pocket and waved it proudly:
"This is an invitation card from the school. This shows our strength and seriousness. See? It's a guest card. You can bring one companion. Xinyue, are we coming together?"
As he spoke, Kong Wu glanced at Lu Tian with disdain, with suspicion in his eyes.
Aren't you Lu Tian awesome? How come you don't have an invitation card?
"Someone will bring it over soon." Lu Tian said to Liu Xinyue with a smile: "Will you come with me, or..."
Liu Xinyue hesitated for a moment. She had just checked the information and learned that Lu Tian's car was actually a domestic luxury car worth tens of millions, which could not be bought even if she had money. After hesitating for a while, she finally made up her mind.
"My classmates haven't gone in yet. As the class monitor, how can I do that? I'll just wait here!"
Kong Wu's face was grim, and he said threateningly, "Xinyue, if you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again. Think it over carefully."
Liu Xinyue didn't say anything, but just walked towards Lu Tian.
Kong Wu sneered, but did not rush into the gymnasium. He wanted to see if someone really sent an invitation to Lu Tian or was just bragging.
