Class Reunion
If the door of the private room at the end of the corridor had not been open, and if Chen Jin had not seen He Feiyang downstairs before lunch, when he saw people fighting, he would at most stand there and watch for a few more times, and would definitely not move forward.
As it happened, when she was about to go down the stairs, she inadvertently looked up at the private room at the end of the corridor, and happened to see He Feiyang put his fist on a man's face.
Oh, she was thinking at noon that He Feiyang is now strong enough to kill a pig with one punch. This punch...
It was just such a coincidence, who knew that the high school reunion was also arranged at Fushun Hotel, and on the third floor.
Chen Jin and Shen Baichuan said, "I don't have a good relationship with my high school classmates, so we can just go over and watch the fun."
Shen Baichuan nodded in agreement. He understood. She meant that she just wanted to watch the fun and not get involved.
As soon as they reached the door, they saw He Feiyang, who was being pulled by three male classmates, twisted around and broke free, then punched another male classmate who was stopped in the face.
Hey, now both sides of my face are symmetrical. If I got punched, the swelling will happen on both sides.
Chen Jin whispered, "The one who beat him up is called He Feiyang. Don't be fooled by his left and right hooks. He was bullied a lot when he was in school. The one who got beaten up might be the one who stole his living expenses and called him a fat pig. He deserves to be beaten up."
"There are so many people in there, I can't recognize them all... Oh, no, there's someone I know, Tang Zuming is also here, the one in front with the middle-parted hair... Hiss!" Chen Jin was surprised, he saw two men rushing up to He Feiyang cursing, and Tang Zuming actually helped He Feiyang to beat them up, he knocked one of them aside with two punches.
"He must have practiced during this period." Chen Jin was amazed. Last time in Juchun Garden, he was pinned to the wall by Ling Yun in two hits. He didn't expect that he could punch hard now. He must have been hiding and practicing during this period. Looking at their faces, they have become a lot darker and look much stronger.
Chen Jin didn't mention Ling Yun, but told Shen Baichuan that the guy with the middle-parted hair was Tang Zuming, a second-generation rich man who was quite annoying and didn't know much about anything, but he could barely be considered a person with some moral integrity in her high school class.
At least compared to some of the "noble people" in the class, Tang Zuming's family looked quite wealthy, but he never bullied his classmates.
"Apart from often asking me to help deliver his love letters, this guy is pretty good." Chen Jin continued to lean against the door and watch the fun.
But she didn't elaborate, and Shen Baichuan guessed roughly who Tang Zuming wanted to send the love letter to after thinking about it. After all, among her friends who graduated from the same high school, he only knew Ling Yun. There couldn't be anyone else. If there was, given the way Chen Jin gets along with her friends, it would be impossible for her not to invite her friends out for dinner or to attend her company's opening event.
He had met all her friends.
Inside, the man who was punched twice by Tang Zuming was furious. He wanted to rush forward but was stopped by the people next to him. He yelled, "Tang Zuming, are you sick?! What's going on between us and He Feiyang is none of your business!"
Tang Zuming kicked the chair in front of him away and said, "It has nothing to do with me if you guys fight to the police station, but you better watch your mouth! Fuck you, when did I ever chase Chen Jin?! I say it again, I didn't chase Chen Jin!"
He was so angry. He was accused of pursuing Chen Jin many times. When did he ever do so? !
Chen Jin, that annoying ghost! He must have lost his mind to think of chasing Chen Jin! Are these people sick? ! While chatting, he started to tease He Feiyang, but was refuted by He Feiyang. Then he inexplicably said that he was pursuing Chen Jin? ! ill!
"Oh, you've never pursued her? Why are you pretending? Everyone knows that you sent a love letter to Chen Jin before, but she turned around and threw it into the trash can and denied it? You're embarrassed to be rejected by Chen Jin, right?!" He couldn't beat him, but he had to make Tang Zuming, the bastard, sick to death today for rushing up to him and punching him twice for no reason.
"That's right! Tang Zuming, you are angry and embarrassed, right?! Haha, Chen Jin is still charming, and both of you are helping her. She just said something to her, and you are here to vent her anger. People can't see it, just you, people don't like you!"
Tang Zuming was so angry that he kicked her again, gritting his teeth and saying word by word: "I said, I never pursued Chen Jin!"
He Feiyang stepped forward and kicked him again, "Watch your mouth, is it your turn to talk about Chen Jin?"
Chen Jin's expression was hard to describe. He said, "Are the rumors spread privately so outrageous?"
"These people are really boring. They don't have any feelings for each other. They hold these gatherings as if they have a very good relationship. Look, they are fighting. How can this be called building connections? If they really need help, they will trample on them to death if they get the chance, right?"
But Shen Baichuan’s focus was, “They said bad things about you.”
"That's normal. I heard a lot of this when I was in high school. They used to say I was from the countryside because they couldn't compete with me in studies. Then they found out that my house was demolished. I don't know how they felt. Some of them must be jealous to death."
However, Chen Jin said disdainfully: "Some of them, when they were in school, they teamed up with their classmates to bully others, but they acted differently in front of their teachers. They studied at a normal school in college and should be teachers now. It's really scary. Tell me, if a child is unlucky enough to have such a person as a teacher, they will be so angry that they will die."
Shen Baichuan looked down at her and found that she, the person mentioned, didn’t care at all, as if she was listening to someone else’s business. She was still scanning the crowd, "There are quite a few people here, some of these scumbags just like to gather together."
They were mumbling to each other, and the atmosphere inside eased a little. A squad leader stood in the middle to smooth things over, saying, "Both sides are wrong. Liu Dongming, you are also wrong. You just drank too much and started talking nonsense, right?"
Liu Dongming shook off the squad leader's hand, stiffened his neck, raised his bruised face, and said angrily: "Didn't I just say that Chen Jin looked down on people and showed off just because she had a few stinky money? Li Xingyi was right to dump her, but she still wanted to rush to find someone to get back together. Ha, don't you see how big the gap is between her and Li Xingyi's wife. I told the truth, it's none of your business! You keep rushing to be a dog for Chen Jin every day, do you think she will remember you! Don't pick on me! I want to talk! I'm not drunk!"
Chen Jin, who had poked his head in to watch the excitement, suddenly met the sight of a female classmate in the door. The female classmate was stunned, but Chen Jin didn't feel embarrassed at all. He smiled at her, and then said to Shen Baichuan behind him: "I didn't expect that this excitement has something to do with me."
Du Xiaoyu followed the line of sight of her female classmate and asked in surprise, "Chen Jin?"
This sentence was like a bolt from the blue, which woke everyone in the room up and they all looked over. Who else could the person who stuck his head in through the door be but Chen Jin?
But who is the man standing behind Chen Jin? Is there this person in their class?
The two men who just mentioned Chen Jin felt as if someone had strangled them by the throat, and their rationality returned. It would be fine if someone was heard talking bad about someone behind their back, but that person is Chen Jin.
Since graduating from high school, Chen Jin has never appeared in any class gatherings. Even when the whole class treated the teachers to a dinner at graduation, she did not go. Six years after graduation, Chen Jin seems to have changed a lot, yet he seems to have not changed at all.
They may not remember the great principles taught by their high school teachers, but they will more or less remember a few of the curses that Chen Jin used when he was in school...
For example, at this moment, Chen Jin was standing at the door and looking at them with a smile. She didn't say anything, but they all knew that Chen Jin must be scolding them. Chen Jin's face seemed to have its own speaker, chattering away all the time: "Crazy husband and wife", "Don't do your job, just go crazy", "The pigs in the village are smarter than you, how dare you look down on the country people", "A cow with a scallion stuck in its nose can get 90 points, it's really interesting that you got 60 points"......
But that was when I was studying. At that time, when others laughed at her for being from the countryside, she just talked about their test scores. After all, she always ranked first in the class, so there was no way to refute it. But now that she's working, she can't say these things anymore, right? !
Tang Zuming glared angrily at the three chattering men in front of him. It was all because of their bad mouths! That was why he was so angry and said that he was not pursuing Chen Jin. She must have heard it and she would definitely not tell him any news about Ling Yun.
He Feiyang scratched his head awkwardly, "Chen Jin, your family is also eating on this floor?"
Just when she was about to explain a few words, she suddenly noticed the man behind Chen Jin. She remembered that her boyfriend was also there as Chen Jin mentioned, and her shoulders slumped as if she was disappointed.
"Yeah, I didn't expect it to be so lively here. If I had known, I would have come to see it earlier."
Chen Jinzhao raised his chin at Liu Dongming and asked, "When did I rush to find Li Xingyi to get back together? Did he tell you? Wasn't he embarrassed enough last time? Tell me, who spread this rumor? I have to find someone to confront him. I dug up someone's ancestral grave and cast such a vicious curse on me."
Liu Dongming's face changed and he stammered for a long time without being able to utter a word. How to confront this? He and Li Xingyi have not been in contact since they graduated from college. Li Xingyi never said these words later. He speculated based on what Li Xingyi said before.
"You won't tell me? If you don't tell me, then you are just guessing." Chen Jin clicked his tongue twice, looked him up and down, and said, "You are not secretly in love with me, but you dare not say it. You know that you are a toad eating a lot of swan meat, so you slander me outside, right?"
Liu Dongming said angrily: "I didn't!"
"Do you know clearly in your heart, hey, some people are just so shameless. Then you should have some idea in your heart, knowing that I look down on you." Chen Jin said lightly, "Do your leaders know that you are this kind of person? They won't introduce you to someone, right? You say, if your leaders in your unit know that you are a person who can't get anyone and then slander others outside..."
"Did I say that? Who likes you?!"
"That's a lot. I know how good my conditions are." Yeah, I'm that confident.
"Haha, if you say there is no answer, then there is no answer." The tone was similar to the way they talked about Tang Zuming just now. You explain yours, but this is how I judged you, and this is how you are.
Tang Zuming felt much better. Chen Jin should have come to the class reunion earlier. It's a shame if she didn't show up and show her face, given her big mouth.
But he didn't feel happy for long, as Chen Jin turned to him.
"Also, how come I didn't know when Tang Zuming sent me a love letter? Hey, Tang Zuming, you were the one chasing someone and asked me to help you send the love letter. Can't you explain? I'm so unlucky that you took the blame. Some people targeted me when I was studying. It wasn't because of you, was it? Then you are really a nuisance to others. If I had known this was the case, I should have sent you to the Fourth Hospital last time."
Tang Zuming said madly: "I explained! I explained but they kept talking nonsense!"
"Then why don't you slap them? You are a grown man, and you can't reason with the dog. Just go up and beat them a few times, and the dog will behave itself, right?"
Tang Zuming: “…” That makes a lot of sense and cannot be refuted.
"You guys were beaten and cried out, and you spread rumors behind my back. Have you learned nothing from studying? Apologize to me! If you don't apologize, you can go to your leader's office to confront me face to face. I won't be so easy to deal with then. Don't think that I can throw dirty water on me just because I don't come to your crappy gatherings." Chen Jin snorted and said, "If you are not convinced, you can go to my leader to complain and confront me. I am a counselor at the School of Arts of Nanjing University. You should have known this a long time ago, right?"
After saying that, Chen Jin stood in the middle of the door with his arms folded across his chest, waiting.
The squad leader who organized this gathering changed his expression several times. He cursed these troublemakers in his heart and thought that he would never organize such a gathering again. It would be better for just a few people to come out for a meal than for so many people to get together and end up causing trouble.
After taking a look at the tall and strong He Feiyang, he regretted the most that he had called him. Everything was fine at the beginning, but when someone mentioned Chen Jin, he became angry.
"Just apologize, and don't spread those rumors you heard from outside next time." The squad leader winked at Liu Dongming and the other two: Why are you being so stubborn now? Chen Jin is not afraid of you looking for the leaders of her unit, but Chen Jin will really look for the leaders of your unit.
Liu Dongming and the other two immediately thought of the fact that when Chen Jin was in high school, she had gone to the principal's office and asked if the school could do anything about it. If not, she would go to the Education Bureau to seek an explanation.
No matter what others say in private, as long as it doesn’t get to Chen Jin, it’s fine. If you provoke her in person, she really doesn't care. She will scold if she can, and if she can't scold, she will find her leader. In short, she insists on not letting herself be wronged. She also said that she was in poor health and couldn't stand being bullied, so she had to vent her anger...
I don’t know whether Chen Jin is in good health now.
Shen Baichuan behind him wanted to stand up, but was pulled by Chen Jin, signaling him not to make a sound. To deal with these defeated men, there is no need for the two of them to join forces. It would be too much of a courtesy to them.
"I heard it wrong. Sorry." The three of them apologized shyly.
The monitor immediately said, "I said, it's just a misunderstanding. We are all old classmates. We can talk it out. It just so happens that you, Chen Jin, have never attended a class reunion. You just happened to come and join in the fun."
Chen Jin didn't care about their apology, but he wanted to vent his anger.
So he said, "Okay, then add two stools."
The monitor was just being polite, but he didn't expect Chen Jin to actually say he wanted to stay for dinner. This is even more embarrassing. There are few people present here who have not been scolded by Chen Jin, and some have even confronted him in the past.
Even though several years have passed, now it seems like it was just a minor verbal dispute, but Chen Jin would take even the smallest thing to heart. Want to reconcile with her? I'm afraid it's impossible.
She doesn't like eating with everyone, but she insists on staying. I really don't know what she is thinking. Now, several people feel uncomfortable.
But it's their business if they feel uncomfortable. Chen Jin is quite comfortable. He invited Shen Baichuan to come in together, and just as he sat down next to He Feiyang, he asked, “Who called you to the class reunion?”
He Feiyang glanced at Shen Baichuan and said in a muffled voice: “The squad leader called me.”
"You have a good relationship with them?"
"......No, I just happened to be out doing some renovation work for someone and I met my class monitor, who told me there was a class reunion today and most people would be attending, so I came." He was thinking of coming to see if he could get any news about Chen Jin. After all, the group with good grades was considered a small circle. After graduation, he went to work in another place and had no news about Chen Jin at all.
“Oh, you are rich now?”
He Feiyang straightened his back a little, "Not very rich, just a little bit, I just bought a house and a car. And my cousin opened a decoration company, I own 30%."
"Oh, no wonder." Chen Jin understood, and then asked for a few more dishes and some drinks. After adding up, they all ordered expensive food and drinks, which made the others frown.
Du Xiaoyu said, "Chen Jin, you don't need so much wine, right? You can't finish it."
Chen Jin pointed around and said, "There are more than 20 people here, so order a few more bottles. It's okay, everyone can share it, it's not much, it's a rare class reunion, so let's eat something good."
After ordering, he handed the newly added bill to He Feiyang and said, "Take it down to the waiter and ask them to serve the wine and dishes as soon as possible. There must be something in it. Go ahead, what are you looking at me for?"
He wanted to say, can't he just change someone? He Feiyang took the list sullenly and went downstairs.
"Don't look at me. Are you still fussing about what happened just now? You all said it was a misunderstanding. Now that the misunderstanding has been resolved, why are you still fussing about it? The swelling on your face is nothing. It's just a superficial injury. Just go home and apply some medicated wine. I said you guys are just bad-mouthed. Do you know you're wrong now? It's okay to be bad-mouthed, but it's a problem if you hit a wall. Look, you hit a wall today. Go back and reflect on it."
"Oh, I said too much, didn't I?" Chen Jin said without any embarrassment, "It's like this when you're a counselor. You hold meetings with students all day long, and you get used to talking about big principles. Hey, I remember you went to a normal school, right? I have a bad memory, so I forgot your name, but I have a deep impression of you. You're amazing. When you were in school, you copied other people's test papers and then went to the teacher to complain about cheating. Now that you're a teacher, if you meet such a student, you should be able to tell at a glance whether he is telling the truth, right? After all, you are all thousand-year-old foxes."
"Oh, sorry, I shouldn't bring up this kind of thing." Chen Jin laughed twice, "As you know, I'm a straightforward person. I never beat around the bush or spread rumors behind people's backs."
Tang Zuming pursed his lips and turned away silently, waiting until he could control the corners of his mouth from curling up before turning back.
Shen Baichuan took a new cup, poured her a drink, and said, “You’ve talked so much, drink something.”
"Oh, I did talk too much. Why am I the only one talking? You guys should just do what you normally do at a class reunion. By the way, I don't even know where you work now. How about you all talk about it? Well, the monitor will take the lead, so you can talk first."
She just said that she was going to talk to the leader of their unit. Who dares to talk about their own unit now? !
The squad leader smiled awkwardly, "We finally get together once, so let's not talk about work, let's talk about something else."
"Yes, yes, let's talk about something else. Hey, Chen Jin, why don't you introduce this friend you brought to us?"
Chen Jin said, "Okay, let's talk about some gossip outside of work." She said to the person who just asked her to introduce Shen Baichuan, "I just remembered something. You were dating a girl from the next class, and then you started dating that girl's friend. Am I right? Is this person you or the one next to you?"
The person next to him quickly distanced himself from the matter and said, "It's not me! It's him!"
"Oh." Chen Jin's "Oh" was very meaningful.
"What happened next? Who did you end up with? Or did you start dating someone else? Hey, come on, there's a reason why you and Li Xingyi were deskmates for three years. Did you take an extra course in high school?"
The person next to him was still stupidly asking, "What class?"
"I don't know what class it is, but the teacher should be called Chen Shimei."
Quiet, still quiet.
Chen Jin glanced at Tang Zuming who was standing across an empty seat. "Are you shaking like crazy? If you can't be cured, go to the Fourth Hospital and lie down early, so that others won't ask me to take the blame for you next time. You can only scream and yell, what are those two fists for? You can't beat them, cough, you can't beat some people, but you can't beat a few boiled chickens?"
Tang Zuming froze while laughing. What was he gloating about? He should have known that Chen Jin's mouth was an indiscriminate attack.
The monitor laughed awkwardly and invited everyone to eat.
Not everyone paid attention to Chen Jin, they had their own little group, they looked at each other, and then sat aside to eat, just looking at Shen Baichuan from time to time.
Not long after, He Feiyang finally came up, followed by the waiter who brought the dishes and wine. He asked them if they wanted to open the bottles. Without waiting for anyone to say anything, Chen Jin waved his hand and said, "Open them all."
"Let's clink glasses with He Feiyang's help."
Chen Jin didn't move, and asked, "Is it He Feiyang who's treating us today? Isn't it a classmate gathering? Are you guys trying to take advantage of a fat sheep?"
"No, no, I said the wrong thing. We're at a class reunion, so let's share the spoils. Come on, everyone, raise your glasses."
Chen Jin said, "We won't drink anymore. We just had a drink. Here, I paid for it. We have something else to do, so we'll leave first."
While everyone was in a daze, Chen Jin left five dollars, called Shen Baichuan, and got up and left.
"No, she left?"
"Oh, forget it, it's good that she's gone. Everyone can be at ease." The squad leader glanced at He Feiyang, asked everyone to continue eating, and felt relieved.
After a while, Chen Jin turned back and said, "He Feiyang, come out for a moment. I have something to talk to you about."
Several people made faces and made noises. He Feiyang rubbed his forehead happily and laughed, "I'll go out for a while."
Tang Zuming's heart skipped a beat and he felt something was wrong. He calmly put down his chopsticks, straightened his clothes, and said, "I'm going to the bathroom and will come back to continue drinking later."
"You go, go, and by the way, see when He Feiyang will come back. I also want to ask him about the decoration."
After ten minutes, someone in the private room noticed that someone was missing.
"No, He Feiyang and Tang Zuming haven't come back yet? Did they fall into the toilet?"
