reunion
After the fourth day of the New Year, Chen Jin packed up his things at home and dragged his suitcase back to the small Western-style building.
Although Hanlin Garden is more prosperous and lively, and she can overlook the lights of half of Rong City from the floor-to-ceiling windows at night, and it is also convenient to go to the Rose Garden to watch the excitement, but she still feels more comfortable living in the small Western-style building. After the New Year, I went to attend a makeup training class, and it was closer from the small Western-style building.
On the third day of the New Year, everyone went to my uncle's house for dinner, and my aunt's family, who had not been seen for a long time, finally came.
Chen Jin's plan to travel to Beijing was approved by his aunt, who even arranged a trip to Shanghai. The round trip would take an estimated ten days, and he would not be able to make it back to the city library on March 1st.
My second uncle waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay, go play first, you can go later. I'll ask around for this job for you. If it doesn't work out, let's not do the internship, it's a waste of time. If it works out, you can go for a few days of internship to get used to it in advance."
It is hard to say whether this can be accomplished. Now when various units are recruiting, they say it is a job assignment, but in many cases it is the units that select people. Who knows if anyone has been selected?
Chen Jin: "Okay, Uncle, you don't have to worry too much. If I don't have a job, Miaomiao and I will open a small supermarket."
Speaking of Tian Miao, she went back to her father's home to celebrate the New Year on New Year's Eve. Her father's home is in a small town in the county town under Rong City, so she was only back for a few days. This year, my third cousin has a car and said he would drive to pick her up after the fourth day of the New Year.
My third uncle and aunt said that they wanted to give one house in Xiuli Community to my aunt and Tian Miao respectively, but neither of them agreed. Tian Miao was afraid that her father would covet the house after it was in her name, so she said that she would buy a smaller house after she saved enough money in the future. The aunt was afraid that if she had a house in her name, it would benefit Zhang Leye's two children in the future.
The eldest uncle glared at her and said, "That won't do. You finally graduated from Nanjing University, but you didn't get a good job." The eldest uncle turned to the second uncle and said, "You and your sister-in-law should pay more attention. It's good to work in a good unit. You will meet different people in the future."
He didn't say that it would be easier to find a good partner in the future. If you're not in a hurry to find a partner now, what if you want to find one in the future? Gotta find some good ones!
Besides, you are so young, if you stay at home all day, you will get stupid sooner or later, you have to go out and see the world.
Chen Jin stuck out his tongue, not daring to contradict his uncle, and went to join the others playing cards with a smile.
After what she said on that day in the second grade of junior high school, Chen Ting never came near her again, nor did she mention her senior brother in front of anyone. I don’t know what trouble will arise when she returns to work.
Second cousin Chen Yongxin said, "My parents made it clear to her last night that the house and money are now in her name. It's up to her to decide how to deal with them. But if she gets cheated out of everything in the future, she doesn't have to come home and cry. Apart from the dividends the company gives her every year, there will be no other support from her."
Chen Jin leaned over and whispered to his second cousin, "For a stubborn cousin like this, you should use harsh words to make her clear her mind."
"Chen Jin, are you saying bad things about me?" Chen Ting suddenly opened the door, came out with a sour face, sat opposite her, staring at her and her second cousin.
"I didn't say anything bad about you. I just wanted you to clear your mind." Chen Jin told the truth. Before Chen Ting got angry, he asked again, "Didn't you ask me where I bought my clothes last time? It's the women's clothing store on the second floor of the old department store in Dongcheng District. Go and see for yourself. They will have new styles the day after tomorrow. They are all spring clothes."
"You also know that they will have new styles the day after tomorrow?" Chen Ting's thoughts were diverted and her attention turned to the issue of clothes.
She really liked the clothes that Chen Jin bought. They were simple styles and sold in many places outside, but the clothes that Chen Jin bought were better in style and quality, so she couldn't help but ask yesterday. But yesterday, Chen Hou ignored her because she mentioned her senior brother.
"I bought a lot last time, so their boss asked me for his phone number." They said they would call her when new models were released, and they actually called her.
"Oh." Chen Ting felt jealous again. Chen Rijinzi lived too carefree a life. She even thought about quitting her job and staying at home. After all, the rent she received every month was not bad.
But the thought only came to her mind a little, so she suppressed it. Being a nurse is tiring, but she had learned it with great difficulty, and now she feels very uncomfortable giving it up.
"Why did you think of going to Beijing for fun?" Chen Ting asked.
"Let's go take a look now while we have time. My aunt wants to go too. She wants to check out the high-end clothing stores in big cities like Beijing and Shanghai."
At that time, not only my eldest aunt will go, but also my third uncle, third aunt, Chen Jia, and third cousin Chen Yongfei. Chen Yongan wanted to go, but he had to stay for tutoring. No one else was able to get away and go.
Second cousin Chen Yongxin sighed. After the New Year holiday, he would go back to work and start preparing for the large piece of land his family had acquired. He envied Chen Yongfei for being able to ask his boss for leave to go out and play, but he couldn't because his own company needed him. Moreover, his father also made it clear that although the three siblings could only get 1% of the dividends now, the family construction company would be handed over to him in the future.
Chen Jin asked his cousin Gu Minmin if she wanted to go to Beijing together. She was an elementary school teacher and had no other work during the winter and summer vacations, so she had time to go.
"I'm not going. I have an appointment with a colleague."
"Oh, okay." Chen Jin asked and it was over.
Seeing Chen Jin say that he would go out and play, Gu Minmin thought of what her mother Chen Yun had been saying at home. Her mother said that her three uncles, her aunt, and Chen Jin's family had all become wealthy thanks to the demolition, and their lives were many times better than theirs, but they had never thought of giving her any of the money.
Gu Minmin is not an unreasonable person. She knows that her mother is just saying that out of anger because she is feeling unbalanced. Why should they be given a share of her mother's money?
She has nothing to be jealous of. She is the only daughter in the family. Won't all her parents' things be hers in the future? Not a few.
The date for departure for Beijing is tentatively set for the 22nd, and coincidentally, Chen Jin's makeup training class ends on the 21st.
My aunt came late today and brought a lot of nutritional supplements. "These are all bought by my family for the New Year to give to relatives. I brought some here."
Anyway, if she doesn't take it, her two sisters-in-law will take it to their parents' home, so it would be a waste if she doesn't take it.
"Did you know that there was a car accident in the suburbs of Nancheng District on New Year's Eve? At that time, people in our village were rushing back to burn incense. The person who hit the car was the son of our village accountant. He drove on the road without a driver's license. He had an argument with his wife while driving and crashed into the car in front of him without paying attention. Fortunately, no one on both sides was fine, but the family of the person who was hit now wants them to pay 500,000 yuan, otherwise they will sue him and put him in jail for more years."
"Our village accountant is also an old fox. He said that he doesn't have that much money anymore, so he is looking for a big household in the village who is undergoing demolition to borrow money. He approached my father-in-law yesterday, but there is no result yet. From what I heard from my father-in-law, he will lend the money, but the maximum he can borrow is 10,000 or 20,000 yuan."
After all the twists and turns, it’s still the story of these villages.
At this time, Chen Jin felt that his third uncle and aunt were very strict with his third cousin and would not easily give them money. They were probably worried that they would learn bad habits if they had too much money in their hands.
At this time, the third uncle asked the aunt, "Last time we had dinner, your father-in-law said he wanted to buy you a shop. What did he say in the end?"
My aunt snorted coldly, "They said it was for me, but later on the shop was registered under Zhang Leye's name. My eldest sister-in-law and my younger sister-in-law started to argue and said I had to buy it for their two families, so I simply said I didn't want it. Now my father-in-law wants to learn from my eldest brother and buy a piece of land to build a house, but he doesn't have that much cash flow anymore. I guess he regrets buying four houses in Hanlin Garden now."
"If you don't want to buy it, then don't buy it." The third uncle was not disappointed and specifically reminded her: "You still live there now, don't go against Zhang Leye, and don't interfere in the affairs of him and his two children."
"I don't care. Zhang Bai and Zhang Xue's grandparents are staring at them now. They want to take everything from my father-in-law and give it to them. However, they don't have much respect in front of my parents-in-law. They can't compete with the big ones or the small ones."
"Well, when you come back from Beijing, you should come and open a shop with us and find something to do for yourself." The third uncle asked my aunt if she wanted to go to Beijing with him, and my aunt agreed readily.
But if they go to Beijing, the opening time of the two stores will have to be postponed.
My aunt was particularly silent today. The previous few times she made various excuses not to come and have dinner with everyone. This time when she came, no one said anything, but my eldest and second uncles also became colder in their attitude towards her.
As a family, we often encounter conflicts, but they can be resolved by talking them out. My uncle has given my aunt several ways out, but she still refuses to give up. Isn't that making them angry?
Let’s not talk about the two things about Chen Jin and the third uncle preparing new wine and inviting the family to dinner. Let’s just say that when the Zhang family invited everyone to dinner, the eldest aunt didn’t come when everyone went to support the younger aunt. It’s not like everyone knows everything. How could the wholesale business of the stall be shut down without her?
Anyway, Chen figured it out, because the eldest aunt didn't go to support the younger aunt last time, the eldest uncle was very angry.
After dinner, everyone went back to their own homes. Chen Jia and Chen Yongan did not follow Chen Jin to live at her home, as they also had their own relatives from other families to visit on the fourth day of the New Year.
Her grandfather called her and asked her when she would go back, but Chen Jin made excuses saying she was busy and refused to meet the Liu family in Qiaoxi Village. So she doesn’t have to meet her father’s family again.
Well, she was doing it for their own good. Her life is good now, but she still hangs around in front of them. Wouldn't that make them feel more and more uncomfortable? She was sensible and didn't go to Old Liu's house to join in the fun. They should all thank her.
Although she didn't want to bother with the people from Old Liu's family, she contacted Lan Meiying and called her.
Originally, he wanted to lend money to Lan Meiying to open a clothing stall, but Lan Meiying said first that after saving for another three months, she would quit her job and set up a small stall in front of the university. She never mentioned the money to Chen Jin.
Chen Jin said that if anyone needed help, they could come to her, but Lan Meiying said that she was not needed for the time being, so Chen Jin did not mention it again.
On the fourth day of the Chinese New Year, she went to Wanmin Square to watch a movie, and when she came out she ran into her high school deskmate Du Xiaoyu.
"It's you, Chen Jin. I almost didn't recognize you." Du Xiaoyu came over to greet him in a familiar manner. "By the way, the class monitor said there will be a party on the sixth day of the New Year and asked everyone to attend. More than 20 people have signed up. Have you received the news?"
Chen Jin raised his eyebrows, "I haven't received any news, and I don't plan to go."
She couldn't remember the last name of their class monitor, but she remembered that he was a tall and strong boy who had a lot of moral lessons to say. His grades were not that good, but he was very popular with the teachers.
In other words, Du Xiaoyu and she had been desk mates for three years, so Chen Jin could recognize her when she saw her outside. But if it was someone else, she might not be able to recognize her.
Besides, why would she go to an event like a class reunion? She had an average relationship with her classmates. There were a few people who were even scolded by her and made them cry. She didn't have a good impression of her classmates in high school.
The main reason why I couldn’t make many friends in college was that Chen Jinguang was busy studying to earn scholarships, so he only got along well with Lin Xinran.
In fact, she had a good friend in high school. That friend was from the next class. They became familiar with each other because they often went on stage to receive awards together. They often borrowed notes from each other and exchanged study methods. However, that friend was specially recruited into the military academy. She was a smart and beautiful girl with well-developed limbs.
I haven't seen this friend since I graduated from high school. Oh, I suddenly thought of her and missed her a lot.
Du Xiaoyu secretly looked at Chen Jin's clothes and continued to persuade him, "Go ahead. We are all preparing to get assigned jobs after graduation. Having more friends will give us more opportunities in the future."
Chen Jin still refused: "No, no, I have other things to do."
Without an equal exchange of interests, how many options can others give you? She was afraid that someone would block her way.
"Is it because of Li Xingyi that you don't want to go?" Du Xiaoyu suddenly thought of this.
She almost forgot that Chen Jin and Li Xingyi started dating after graduating from high school. When the news spread, everyone was quite surprised. They didn't expect that they could really be together. But she was not particularly surprised. She had noticed that Li Xingyi's attitude towards Chen Jin was rather special when she was in high school.
Who would have thought that Li Xingyi and Chen Jin actually broke up? She also heard it from her classmates who were studying at Nanjing University.
If Chen Jin minds Li Xingyi going as well, that makes sense. Moreover, Li Xingyi also said that he would bring his girlfriend to the event. She was already engaged and preparing to get married. It was indeed awkward for Chen Jin to go over at this time.
"That crazy guy is going too? Then I can't go either." Chen Jin said with disdain.
There is a high probability that another crazy woman will follow.
"You guys should get together." Chen Jin gave a kind reminder, "It's better to have less contact with people with bad brains."
Du Xiaoyu smiled awkwardly and stopped persuading Chen Jin. Three and a half years have passed since graduation, and she has forgotten how Chen Jin used to swear in class. Now she thinks it is better that Chen Jin does not go, so as to avoid ruining the class reunion.
"You are leaving, so let's go together."
Chen Jin: "Oh, I'm going to the parking lot. Are you driving here too?"
"Ah? No..."
"Then we're not going the same way. Goodbye." Chen Jin said and left. She and this desk mate were not so close that he could give her a ride. At the beginning, this desk mate did not exclude her with others, but she did not help her either. She was like a stranger.
Chen Jin drove out and saw Du Xiaoyu waiting for the bus at the bus stop. Although their eyes met, Chen Jin pretended not to see her and drove past.
Du Xiaoyu was left at a loss: After not seeing each other for a few years, has Chen Jin's family become rich?
~
After the fourth day of the New Year, Chen Jin packed up the things at home, put the quilts in the closet, packed up the remaining things in the refrigerator and took them to the small villa, then turned off the main power switch at home, feeling much more at ease.
Chen Jin returned to the small Western-style building. Professor Song's family next door had not returned yet. He didn't know if they had gone to visit relatives with his son's family. The neighbor next door was not at home either. She made this judgment based on the fact that there was no car parked in front of his yard.
After coming back, I first took down the lantern hanging on the gate, then put things in order and checked if there was anything to eat in the refrigerator. Then I went upstairs to change the sheets and quilts in the master bedroom and threw them into the washing machine.
There wasn't much to do, just going up and down and seeming very busy, but she particularly liked this kind of trivial busyness. It was as if the little house she had imagined when playing house as a child had become a reality, and she started hoarding the things she liked in it bit by bit.
I drove out to buy food in the afternoon, and drove to the old department store in Dongcheng District, where I bought a lot of spring clothes.
She really likes the clothing style of this store. The styles are simple and versatile, the shapes are especially suitable for her, and most importantly, the quality is also good. According to the store owner, this store is a directly-operated store of Rong City Baiyou Garment Factory.
Baiyou clothing was popular for more than ten years. From the 1970s to the mid-1980s, it was the heyday of Baiyou clothing. She remembered that when she was in junior high school, she went shopping with her mother and specifically picked out clothes produced by Baiyou Garment Factory. Later, Baiyou gradually faded out of the public eye, and in the past two or three years it can be said that it has disappeared. She didn't expect that she would hear the name Baiyou Garment Factory again at this moment.
There were not many customers in the store, and because she was considered a "big customer", the store owner chatted with her more.
"The factory couldn't pay the workers' wages half a year ago and was about to close down. Later, a new factory manager came and took over. He specially invited professional designers to design clothes. Only then did we get orders and finally made up the workers' wages, but it was still far from enough."
Few of Chen Jin's relatives work in state-owned factories, so they have not felt that while the economy is developing rapidly, many domestic brands are declining rapidly or even disappearing. Maybe it's a milk brand, or a clothing brand. Even if it was the shampoo she usually bought, if she suddenly didn't see it in the convenience store or supermarket one day, she would just wonder if the boss forgot to restock it, and then pick up another brand of shampoo that was in the most prominent position on the shelf.
Because of this once familiar clothing brand, I recalled the days when I used to go to the clothing section of the department store with my mother. I began to hope that the Buyyou brand could continue to operate for a long time.
Chen Jin looked at the bright and simple decoration of the store and said with a smile: "Baiyou was prosperous in the past, and it will definitely stand up again in the future. When I go back, I will help you promote it to your classmates and friends. By the way, is this the only store you have now?"
The store manager was pleasantly surprised and thanked me repeatedly, saying hurriedly, "We are still selecting locations for the stores in Xicheng District and University Town, and they will be open by the end of the year at the latest."
When Chen Jin left with a few bags of clothes, he also took away a lot of flyers.
The wardrobe at home was gradually filled with new clothes and was finally not empty anymore.
On the sixth day of the New Year, she cooked a bowl of noodles at home and then drove out to Sister Jiang's cosmetics shop.
On both sides of Sister Jiang's makeup shop are her hair salon and bridal shop, so she has taken charge of both makeup and styling. On the first floor of the cosmetics store, half of the space is the cosmetics sales area, and the other half is the makeup area. Upstairs is the VIP room, which is used specifically for receiving member customers and conducting training classes.
After Chen Jin came, she was taken to the second floor and learned makeup techniques with several older sisters.
That’s right, they are several older sisters, and one of them is even older than her mother.
It is said that Sister Jiang is very good at doing business with rich women. The training classes she opens have a maximum of six people, and the training fee is only a few hundred yuan per person. However, what Sister Jiang values is not the training fee of a few hundred yuan, but the future consumption of these people who sign up for the training in her barber shop and cosmetics store, as well as the spread of these people's word of mouth, which makes her store stand out from many cosmetics stores and barber shops and become the first choice for rich women.
Of course, if you don’t spend tens of thousands of dollars in a barber shop or a cosmetics store, you can’t enter her training class. Chen Jin came in through the back door through Aunt Ke Xin.
"The little girl is so young. Her skin looks good even with any makeup. By the way, what business does the little girl's family run?"
Chen Jin: "My family is planning to open a small supermarket, but there is not much business."
She got to know the situation clearly on the first day of class. Not all of these older sisters who came to learn makeup techniques really wanted to learn. They just taught one another and were from the same circle. They looked for a reason to get together, get to know each other and have fun together. Maybe they would cooperate in business in the future.
And Chen Jin couldn't tell others that she came in because of an acquaintance, for fear that others would feel that her status was lowered and it would affect Sister Jiang's business.
Chen Jin said this, but several older sisters smiled and said that opening a supermarket was a good idea. Seeing that Chen Jin didn't want to continue talking, they didn't ask any further questions. Each of them looks out of your reach with what they wear, but when you get along with them, they make you feel like spring breeze.
"Xiao Jin, how about going to have afternoon tea with the sisters?"
"Ah no no, I..."
"Hey, aren't you on holiday now? Come on, come on, there's a restaurant across the street, owned by Sister Zhao."
Chen Jin: “…”
I really can't refuse a bunch of enthusiastic ladies.
At the same time, she felt guilty. Wouldn't these older sisters think she was some rich second-generation?
However, they didn't mention anything about business or work afterwards. They didn't talk about a nice clothing store that opened somewhere or an exhibition that opened somewhere...
Chen Jin envied: The lives of truly rich women are so exciting and fulfilling. How much money do they have to spend every day for their work?
Chen Jin felt a little dizzy when she returned home. She had gone to learn how to put on makeup today, but it seemed like she had attended a gathering of rich ladies.
ah! She is really the luckiest one!
~
In a private room of a restaurant in Dongcheng District.
Li Xingyi brought Bai Ling to attend the high school reunion. Before coming, he specifically called the class monitor to ask whether Chen Jincan would attend. I felt relieved to come here only after I learned that Chen Jin would not be attending.
The last time Bai Ling met Chen Jin when he went to buy New Year's goods, he was angry with him for several days. It was only when the two families had a party yesterday that he found an opportunity to coax him into a good mood. He can't get close to Chen Jin again.
Li Xingyi also came to attend the class reunion, and finally understood why Chen Jin suddenly became rich.
The reason was that some people, whether jokingly or intentionally, said that Chen Jin was just so-so and had nothing else except good grades.
Chen Jin's deskmate Du Xiaoyu said, "I met Chen Jin at Wanmin Square a few days ago. She is very beautiful now. She also drives a Santana. Her family must be rich now."
"No way? Did you really see her driving a car? A Santana? You're not mistaken?" A classmate suspected, "Chen Jin's family lives in a village under Nancheng District. I remember her home was Qiaodong Village or Qiaoxi Village. Anyway, it's not close to the suburbs. How can a village get prosperous by farming? It can't be that she won the lottery, haha."
"That's right, Chen Jin is just a country girl, she's good at nothing except studying hard."
"By the way, has she confirmed the unit she has been assigned? She shouldn't be able to get a chance to work in a good unit in the city, right? They don't just look at grades..."
A group of people started laughing. They were the group of people who had targeted Chen Jin in high school and were dealt with by Chen Jin.
Bai Ling secretly rejoiced and said to him, "So Chen Jin was so disliked in your class before?" Then he felt it was normal, "She is really not likable with her personality."
Li Xingyi responded perfunctorily.
Does this mean that he was blind to date Chen Jin?
"Tsk, what's the point of winning the lottery? Chen Jin's family is from Qiaodong Village, and her house was demolished." The only male student in the room who looked nonchalant glanced around at everyone present and thought that this group of people was quite interesting. They pretended to be decent people, but they were just like that in private.
He didn't say anything just now because he wanted them to laugh first, but now he dropped a big bomb:
"Chen Jin's family has two buildings, a residential plot of several hundred square meters, and a large orchard. She is the only one in her family, and the compensation for the demolition is enough for her to buy dozens of Santanas."
"You are laughing at people who have nothing. They bought a small western-style house near Nanjing University and an apartment in Hanlin Garden. Both are worth millions. They also bought dozens of apartments, and the rent they collect every month is higher than your monthly salary."
The whole place was silent, and everyone's breathing was particularly obvious.
"Tang, Tang Zuming, are you telling the truth? How did you know?"
Tang Zuming sneered at everyone's doubts, "My relatives are from Qiaodong Village, the same village as Chen Jin. The compensation Chen Jin received is definitely one of the highest in his village. You guys are really meddling in other people's business. You're still worrying about other people's job assignments. Even if they don't work, they can earn more than you just by lying at home."
For some reason, although the person who became rich from the demolition was Chen Jin, he actually felt the thrill of getting rich instantly and gave those people who looked down on others a slap in the face!
Some people felt embarrassed, while others could not stand Tang Zuming's sarcastic tone and directly exposed his scars, "Chen Jin is so rich now, wouldn't he be even less likely to look down on you? I don't know what you are so proud of, it's not like your house is being demolished."
Tang Zuming got angry and stood up and slammed the table, "Damn it! How many times do I have to explain that I don't have that kind of intention towards Chen Jin!"
Some people didn't believe it, "You have no interest in Chen Jin, but you sent her love letters in high school?"
"Damn it! Who spread rumors about me? When did I send a love letter to Chen Jin?" He clearly asked Chen Jin to help him pass on the love letter, but Chen Jin simply threw his love letter into the trash can.
After all, Chen Jin is that person's friend, and since she is not in Rong City, he was kind enough to say a few words for her friend.
But if anyone said that he was interested in Chen Jin, he would really get angry!
Tang Zuming's anger seemed quite realistic, and everyone was not sure. Could it be that someone really spread rumors back then?
However, the focus now is not on the matter between Tang Zuming and Chen Jin, but the fact that Chen Jin’s house was demolished! She received a lot of compensation!
Li Xingyi's doubts for many days were answered, but he felt even more uncomfortable:
Chen Jin is so rich! Have a small Western-style building and a house in Hanlin Garden? !
At the beginning, his family said they would buy him a house in the city center. Hanlin Garden was a lot more expensive, so they chose the one in Rose Garden. As a result, Chen Jin already has one! And Chen Jin has dozens of houses to rent out?
I feel uncomfortable.
He used to be complacent and thought that Chen Jin was not worthy of his family's conditions. As a result, his family's resources were tilted towards his eldest brother, and Chen Jin's wealth is much greater than his!
I can’t tell whether I regret it or not, but now I feel very ashamed. It was summer vacation at that time, and he and Bai Ling were driving by and he deliberately said those words to Chen Jin. Did Chen Jin think he and Bai Ling were ridiculous at that time?
In Chen Jin's words, it's a crazy man and a crazy woman...
My face was stepped on and I wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
Bai Ling next to him also had a grim expression on his face. He didn't expect that Chen Jin's house would be demolished! No wonder I could buy the small Western-style house next to Nanjing University!
Bai Ling was furious, and became even angrier when he saw Li Xingyi lowering his head, wondering what he was thinking. Why was Chen Jin's house demolished? She was so angry!
She was angry but also became wary. She had previously thought that Li Xingyi would never give up her for Chen Jin, but what about Chen Jin now? Even if Li Xingyi didn't dare to do anything to her for the sake of the cooperation between the two families...
Chen Jin didn't come to the class reunion, but the reunion ended up making everyone feel uncomfortable because of her. Imagine that someone who everyone could only belittle because of his "family background" has now become a millionaire or even a multi-millionaire, and they are still laughing at him behind his back without knowing it...
Why is it Chen Jin's family's turn to be demolished? !
This thief God! It’s so unfair!
No one was in the mood to discuss the future work unit they would be assigned to. No matter how good the unit was, the benefits would not be as good as Chen Jin's collecting rent at home. The party soon broke up.
Du Xiaoyu walked with her good friends. After they walked away, several friends chased after her and asked her what was going on with Chen Jin.
Du Xiaoyu spread her hands and said, "How should I know? We just met once after watching a movie at Wanmin Square a few days ago, and we didn't talk much."
Thinking of Chen Jin's tone and expression at that time, I couldn't help but say, "How can he look down on us old classmates now?"
Besides, she only found out about Chen Jin’s house being demolished when she came to attend the party this afternoon.
I can't believe it...
After this class reunion, some people used their connections to inquire about her recent news. Some people confirmed from the relatives of their relatives that Qiaodong Village, where Chen Jin's family lived, was demolished last summer. It is not certain how much compensation Chen Jin received, but it is said that her family has many buildings, residential land, orchards, and shops, so she must have received at least six or seven million!
Chen Jin, who was being talked about, sneezed several times in a row, then stood in his backyard with his hands on his hips and sighed: The backyard is large and it is convenient for drying quilts.
She had just returned to the living room and turned on the TV when she heard noises outside. She took a few quick steps outside and was about to call Professor Song with a smile on her face, but unexpectedly it turned out to be a group of strangers, and the male neighbor next to her was among them.
Someone whistled at her and nudged the man who opened the door with his elbow, "Baichuan, is this your neighbor?"
"Wow, your neighbor just rolled his eyes at me." Not only did he roll his eyes, he also turned around and walked away, then slammed the door shut. He looked like a person with a bad temper.
Shen Baichuan glanced at him indifferently without answering, and inexplicably thought of what he heard her say in the French restaurant in Wanmin Square a few days ago:
"Men can be found everywhere..."
