Lingyun
"Tang Zuming, was it Chen Jin you just called?" Du Xiaoyu heard the voice, walked to the door of the private room, and looked towards the long corridor with flickering lights. She only saw waiters walking in a hurry and a few middle-aged men arm in arm.
She said, maybe she heard it wrongly, how could Chen Jin appear here?
Today is a class reunion organized by the class monitor. The last gathering was during the Chinese New Year. At that time, no one had yet secured a job, and we also unexpectedly learned that Chen Jin's home was being demolished. Everyone was in a delicate mood. Now that everyone has secured their jobs, the squad leader organized another gathering.
But there weren't as many people at this party as last time. Some of my old classmates can’t get free even on weekends because they have just joined the company and they all have to compete to perform. Others simply feel that they have not found a good job and that it would be embarrassing to attend a class reunion.
Tang Zuming pursed his lips and stared at the door of the private room opposite the end of the corridor.
After so many years, Chen Jin still didn't look at him well when he saw him. Tsk, he also dislikes Chen Jin! If Chen Jin hadn't had a good relationship with her, he wouldn't have bothered to pay attention to her if they met on the street!
By the way, does Chen Jin know that she is back?
This damn Chen Jin! Can't you just listen to what he says first? !
Tang Zuming glanced at Du Xiaoyu and said expressionlessly, "Yes, I'll be here guarding her. I don't believe she won't leave the private room!"
Du Xiaoyu frowned and asked in confusion: "When did you and Chen Jin become so close? Didn't you say last time that you were not..."
"Don't talk nonsense! I definitely don't have that kind of intention towards her! I'm going to ask her something else." Tang Zuming scratched his hair irritably. His hair, which he had sprayed with mousse to style before going out, became a little messy because of his hair. "Don't worry about it. Just go in and sing your song." Then he folded his arms across his chest, leaned his back against the wall at the door of the private room, and stared at the private room where Chen Jin was.
"But..." Du Xiaoyu wanted to say something else, but was called back in by the classmates. She turned around and looked at Tang Zuming, who was both irritated and expectant, and felt depressed. Just like that, you still say he has no interest in Chen Jin? Is it boring to pay so much attention to Chen Jin?
In the private room at the other end, as soon as Chen Jin and his friends entered, Zhuang Yao asked, "There was a man calling you from behind just now. Do you know him?"
"Male? Who?" Chen Yongxin turned around and asked after hearing Zhuang Yao's words.
Chen Jin shrugged and said, "A second-generation rich kid, a classmate of mine in high school, always wants me to help him pass love letters to my friends. Others even think he is pursuing me. He has ruined my reputation for no reason."
"If he wants to pursue your friend, can't he do it himself? He has been in college for four years. He can't still ask you to help pass love letters to your friend, right? You are in the same school?"
Chen Jin chuckled, "My friend went to military school, and he couldn't find anyone to deliver a love letter to. I guess he wanted to get information from me."
"Oh, then your classmate is quite loyal. He has been pursuing me for so many years and never gave up."
"He is loyal to his own way. My friends don't like people like him. He is lazy, uneducated, and always picks fights." In fact, Chen Jin didn't know that much about Tang Zuming. What's more, he hadn't had any contact with him for four years and had no idea about him. How could he know what he has become now? But she just felt that Tang Zuming was not worthy of her friend.
Oh, her friend also looked down on him at first, and said that given Tang Zuming's tendency to cause trouble every day, if she finished military school and returned to Southern Province to become a police officer, she might arrest Tang Zuming herself.
After the waiter came to help turn on the sound equipment, Chen Jin asked everyone to order songs. When I looked back, I saw that they were all more shy than each other. Well, she and her third cousin, who are single, are the most comfortable. Those who are about to get married are more concerned about their image.
"The stars in the night sky are closely related..."
"Forgive me for my unruly and free-spirited life..."
Chen Yongfei held the microphone and looked at Chen Jin who was singing passionately in the front, and sighed helplessly: Is this what she meant by showing everyone the results of her recent Cantonese song learning?
If the screen hadn't prompted the lyrics and the melody, he wouldn't have been able to guess what she was singing. and! In a song, she only knows the few lines that everyone knows, and for the rest she just follows along as if reading aloud.
Behind Chen Jin, the others were also trying to hold back their laughter. Everyone decided not to criticize her, so as to avoid someone getting upset later.
"Ahem! I'm tired. It's your turn. I've ordered songs for you." Chen Jin gulped down a few more sips of his drink, then said, "I'm going to the bathroom."
When she came out of the bathroom, she saw Tang Zuming staring at her with a resentful look on his face. Chen Jin shook the water off her hands, ignored him and prepared to walk over.
Tang Zuming quickly opened his hands to block her, "You know Ling Yun is back, right?"
"Really?" Chen Jin's eyes flashed with surprise, and he asked him: "Is it true? How do you know?"
Tang Zuming carefully observed her expression, "You don't know?"
Then he wasted his time blocking people. He thought Chen Jin knew Ling Yun was back, otherwise why would she run away when she saw him? It's because she was afraid that he would come to her to ask about Ling Yun's news.
But she didn't know it! No one is as well-informed as him!
After Tang Zuming confirmed that Chen Jin really didn't know the news, he turned around and left. Let her show off just now, and he won’t tell her now! Let her worry about it herself!
Chen Jin was not in a hurry at all. If Tang Zuming knew more information, he would not come to ask her. If Ling Yun really wanted to reminisce with his old classmates after he came back, would he look for Tang Zuming instead of her?
Humph, there will be a time when he comes to ask for information.
After returning home that day, Chen Jin had been waiting for the day to meet Ling Yun again. He couldn't imagine what the scene would be like if they met again one day.
I really want to know whether that friend who has the lofty ambition of "flying like an eagle into the sky" is flying on a plane now. Although it would be nice to return to Southern Province and be a police officer, I still hope she is really in "Lingyun".

Chen Jin did not attend Chen Yue's second graduation party because most of the people attending were Chen Yue's friends. She was already an adult and did not have that much to talk about with young people who had just entered college.
Moreover, she was about to go back to school to work, so she took advantage of her free time to go to Jinxiu Community to check on the situation.
Except for the shop next to the supermarket which was reserved for cousin Meng Chong, all the eight rental houses were rented out.
She decided not to go to Xiuli Community because she felt at ease with her third uncle, third aunt and aunt around. As for Qiaoxi Village, cousin Meng Chong now calls her every Sunday to tell her about the situation. Even though her grandfather called to apologize to her and asked her to visit the village more often when she is free, she still decided not to go to Qiaoxi Village unless it is something serious.
After receiving a call from the manager of the minimalist store, Chen Jin looked at the cloakroom which had been tidied up and had a large empty space, and then drove out.
But she failed to make an appointment with anyone, and Yang Qian couldn't leave because she was preparing for her wedding and she had to hold the wedding before school started. And Lin Xinran, now taking advantage of her free time, went to the driving school to practice driving.
Even Zhuang Yao has to go to work...
Well, she is the most free person in the world.
Chen Jin went to choose a lot of clothes, but he saw that the store manager was not as energetic as before, especially when Chen Jin asked when the minimalist branch store would open, the store manager shook his head with a wry smile.
Seeing that the store manager didn't say anything, Chen Jin stopped asking.
Baiyou Garment Factory is still considered a state-owned factory. Such a factory, which is no longer well-known and has no policy, financial or technical support, will be knocked down by the wave of reform unless it innovates and forges ahead in the wave of reform and rides the wave of reform.
I heard from the store manager before that Baiyou Garment Factory was saved after having a new factory manager, but saving the factory is not enough. With so many garment factories springing up like mushrooms after a rain, the previous advantages of state-owned factories are gradually lost. People with abilities and skills also have to support their families, so they may choose to go to private factories with better treatment.
Chen Jin felt a little melancholy when he left. He really hoped that those old brands in his memory would go faster and be at the forefront of the reform wave. He hoped that they would develop for a long time.
But Chen Jin soon had no time to think about these things because she had to go back to school and work!
Teacher Chang was right. When school starts again, it will be her turn to be busy. The first week at work was filled with various freshman counselor training sessions, as well as class student information, dormitory arrangements, etc.
There is more than one major in each class. In addition to the Chinese Department, there are also the Psychology Department and the Music Department... Fortunately, she was busy for a week, and the class teachers of each freshman class returned to school. In fact, they are the senior students of each major, and there are two class teachers, one male and one female.
She was so busy with work that she couldn't spare the time to attend the dinner party hosted by her cousin Minmin. But Chen Jia, who came back from the event, said that his aunt and uncle tried to show off but were scolded back by his uncle, and that his cousin's husband's family were all very kind and gave a generous betrothal gift to his cousin Minmin, which was specifically for Minmin and not counted as part of their household expenses.
Chen Jia said with confidence, "We all think it's great. Cousin Minmin made the right choice this time. Cousin Minmin has also gone to Quan City with her husband's family. We will go to Quan City together when the wedding is held on National Day. Uncle said that our families will prepare a dowry for Cousin Minmin at that time."
Chen Jin was relieved and said happily, "Sure! Then I'll give her a big gold bracelet!"
Starting next Wednesday, new students will report to school one after another. During this rare rest time before busy work, Chen Jin plans to rest and recuperate at home.
After going out to buy some fruit, I came back from being sunburned and looked even more wilted than the flowers in the yard.
On such an afternoon with cicadas chirping, I received a long-awaited phone call.
"Chen Jin."
"......Ling Yun?" Chen Jin's breathing tightened. Is it Ling Yun? ! When I make a phone call, the sound is always a little distorted, very similar, but not exactly the same. I haven't heard the sound for a long time, so I'm not sure.
The person on the other end of the phone said in a cold voice, but with a hint of a smile, "It's me. You won't forget me, will you?"
"How could that be?!" Chen Jin also laughed.
Well, they are not friends. They did encourage each other and make progress together. Chen Jin feels that there is no other friend who is so compatible with each other. But if you call them friends, they have basically no other contact except for studying at school. After graduation, Ling Yun was recruited to the military academy in advance, and she lost contact with other classmates after taking the college entrance examination. Neither of them had any contact information, friends who hadn't been in touch for four years...
Chen Jin found it a little funny, but when he suddenly heard his friend's voice again four years later, he was actually moved to the point of tears.
"It took me a lot of effort to find your contact information. It was not easy to find you. I heard that your house is being demolished. Are you a wealthy woman?"
Chen Jin laughed out loud, "Yes, my dream has come true!"
Ling Yun was also laughing, and suddenly thought of Chen Jin's great ideal of "studying hard and serving the motherland" when she stood on the flag-raising platform. After getting off the platform, he went to tell her, "My biggest dream is to become a rich woman!"
There was only a slight smile on the phone, indicating that the call had not been hung up. After a long while, Ling Yun said, "I will go back to No. 3 Middle School the day after tomorrow to give a speech to promote the recruitment of pilots. Chen Jin, do you want to come and see me?"
"So, are you on the plane now?"
"Yes. Otherwise, how could I have the nerve to ask you to watch my speech?"
"Then I must go!"
~
The senior students of the No. 3 Middle School in the city always have to arrive at school half a month in advance to start classes. Chen Jin lamented the hard work of the students of the No. 3 Middle School, and then asked for leave from his leader.
When he met Shen Baichuan before going out, Chen Jin greeted him warmly with a smile on his face.
Shen Baichuan was flattered, so he asked Chen Jin what good things happened today.
"I'm going to meet an important friend." To be precise, she is going to meet the youth she is trying hard to catch up with!
"Teacher Shen, see you later."
Shen Baichuan frowned, what important friend was she going to meet, and she was dressed up more beautifully than ever before, and she was so happy, and when she mentioned her friend, her eyes seemed to be shining with stars.
Shen Baichuan’s alarm bell rang loudly.

Sitting in the auditorium of his alma mater, Chen Jin blinked quickly when he saw the most beautiful female hero on the stage wearing an Air Force blue dress. It was so great!
What Ling Yun talked about were all areas she had never understood before, but listening to her powerful voice, it was as if time had gone back to when she was eighteen years old, and she heard her talk about her lofty ambitions in front of the flag-raising platform. The applause at this moment was as thunderous as it was back then, and it struck her heart one by one.
"Chen Jin!" Ling Yun, who was looking very handsome on the stage, waved at her and walked towards her as he passed by the students who were walking out.
Chen Jin's eyes were still red, and he reached out and punched her, "You're so awesome, Ling Yun!"
Ling Yun smiled, and proudly put his hand on her shoulder and shook her, "You are not bad, rich woman. Did you remember to treat me to a big meal when you have money?"
"I still need money for meals. You can choose what you want to eat!"
The two walked out side by side, talking about what had happened in the past few years, as if they had been walking side by side for the past four years.
~
Shen Baichuan finally waited for Chen Jin's car to come back. He was now very familiar with the sound of Chen Jin's car. Just as he was about to go downstairs to say hello, he saw a man in military uniform coming down from the passenger seat?
Without waiting for him to say anything, the man went straight up, put his arm around Chen Jin's shoulders, and followed her home.
