Chapter 26: A seemingly normal class reunion
In the elevator, Chang Zhiqing held onto the handrail, laughing so hard that she fell backwards, without any ladylike temperament.
"So Huang Rushi took this advertisement. No wonder you look so bad. Hahaha..."
On the way home, Chang Zhiqing watched some short videos and saw three milk tea shop advertisements in just a few minutes.
Recalling Yang Ruoqian's suddenly bad expression when they were buying clothes, Chang Zhiqing immediately understood why her boss was in a bad mood.
Yang Ruoqian was furious: "How could I know that there would be a business that could run such an outrageous advertisement?! If I had known, I would definitely not have accepted this order!"
Who would have run an ad like this before? Who would have thought someone would run an ad like this?
"Think positively. Although we are embarrassed, at least we made money." Chang Zhiqing patted Yang Ruoqian on the shoulder. "It's all in the past. Let's think positively. We can slowly restore the company's image in the future."
The company making money doesn’t mean I make money! It’s embarrassing and I have no money! Now everyone in the company thinks that Yang Ruoqian must have made a lot of money because he got two popular anchors and received advertisements.
How can you buy a luxury car worth hundreds of thousands of dollars without making any money?
But no one knew that he was actually working for the system for nothing! He didn't make a single cent.
It’s all Shao Yiqi’s fault, that damn guy who harms others without benefiting himself. I will definitely make him bankrupt tomorrow.
Yang Ruoqian walked out of the elevator, opened the door, and stopped talking about this sad topic: "By the way, when will Gao Naiyun come to move the things?"
Chang Zhiqing snorted: "You care about her so much?"
Nonsense, otherwise you will pay the missing 1500 yuan rent? Yang Ruoqian, who was so poor that he was heartbroken, muttered: "I don't expect who your next roommate will be?"
"You must write down the rental conditions clearly and absolutely refuse tenants with bad habits, otherwise I will move in with you directly." Chang Zhiqing threatened.
Yang Ruoqian made a joke without thinking: "Is there such a good thing?"
Chang Zhiqing's cheeks instantly became hot: "You..."
"Tomorrow afternoon is five o'clock. Remember not to oversleep." Yang Ruoqian didn't pay attention to Chang Zhiqing's expression. After changing his shoes, he closed the door directly with a "bang" sound.
Chang Zhiqing's roar could be vaguely heard outside the door: "What kind of pig can sleep until five in the afternoon?! Who are you looking down on?!"
…
The next day, five o'clock in the afternoon.
Yang Ruoqian had just changed into a set of casual clothes when he heard a knock on the door.
"Are you ready? It's time to set off."
"So fast? Doesn't it usually take you girls more than half an hour to put on makeup?" Yang Ruoqian put on his sneakers, checked his belongings, and pushed open the door.
Seeing the graceful Chang Zhiqing standing at the door, Yang Ruoqian was stunned for a long while and even forgot to close the door.
I didn't expect that Chang Zhiqing, who usually looks detached and like a silly queen, could actually have the charm of a classical beauty when wearing a cheongsam...
Chang Zhiqing also noticed Yang Ruoqian's gaze, and felt proud. She whispered, "How is it? Doesn't it look good?"
Yang Ruoqian was silent for a moment, then asked uncertainly, "You speak so softly, are you worried that if you use too much force, the rope around your chest will break?"
"Did you buy this dress a little too small?"
"Why don't you buy a bigger size? You're not fat, why do you want to buy such a small size?"
From the first sentence, Chang Zhiqing's smile froze on her face.
After the third sentence, Chang Zhiqing had completely forgotten why she bought this set of clothes. She angrily retorted: "I spend my own money, I can buy whatever clothes I like, what do you think of me!"
"Don't speak so hard, I'm about to collapse..."
"If Yang Ruoqian could speak human words, he wouldn't be so silent!"
The two quarreled all the way until they reached their destination.
As soon as Yang Ruoqian got off the car, he saw a message from Shao Yiqi on his phone: "Are you there yet? I'm waiting for you two."
Although Chang Zhiqing was familiar with everyone, she was not a member of the class group after all. Yang Ruoqian still told the organizer Shao Yiqi in advance about inviting one more person.
"We're not late, you guys just came too early. We're in the underground parking lot now and will be up soon."
After replying the message, Yang Ruoqian glanced at Chang Zhiqing beside him and asked with amusement: "Can you walk by yourself? Do you want me to help you?"
"What's there to help with?" Chang Zhiqing said unhappily with a pair of dead fish eyes, "I'm not Lin Daiyu."
As he spoke, the elevator reached the top floor.
As soon as Chang Zhiqing walked out of the elevator, she attracted a lot of surprised looks.
Although the cheongsam is one size smaller, it does not look out of place on Chang Zhiqing. Instead, it adds a touch of charm to the classical beauty.
"Isn't this some celebrity?"
"Definitely not..."
"Tsk tsk, look at her boyfriend, he didn't even try to help her. If I had a girlfriend like that, I would definitely want to just hug her!"
"That's a privilege for handsome guys...what do you know."
Chang Zhiqing ignored the looks and discussions around her, followed Yang Ruoqian to the door of the restaurant's private room, and pushed it open.
There was a large round table with about twenty people sitting and chatting with each other. When they saw Yang Ruoqian and Chang Zhiqing come in together, everyone fell silent for a while.
Except for the organizer Shao Yiqi, no one else knew that Chang Zhiqing would also come.
Chang Zhiqing's outfit is indeed stunning.
However, Shao Yiqi, who only wanted to cause chaos in the world, followed suit, pretending to know nothing, and started to make a noise with a shocked look on his face: "Did you two achieve your goal?"
It has long been no secret that Chang Zhiqing, the beauty in the Computer Department, and Yang Ruoqian have a close relationship.
"Finally together?"
“Tsk tsk…”
"Not yet." Chang Zhiqing smiled generously and found a seat to sit down.
Yang Ruoqian also denied it with empty eyes: "Don't make up such rumors..."
As soon as everyone arrived, without waiting for the old classmates to exchange a few words, the waiter brought the dishes to the table.
"Eat, eat, eat. You're welcome." Shao Yiqi was not unfamiliar at all. He was the first to pick up his chopsticks and soon took the lead in livening up the atmosphere. "How was everyone's year?"
After a few jokes, everyone quickly returned to the familiar state of the past and started bragging one after another.
"Not bad, I passed the exam."
"I went to a foreign company and got full benefits."
"I really envy you guys... I was assigned to another place. Apart from the salary, I am not used to anything else and I don't have many holidays."
"Yang Ruoqian, what about you?"
"I run a small business and make a living."
"Don't be so modest. I just saw your car keys. How can that be called a small business? Miss Chang's dress must have cost at least tens of thousands..."
Old classmates were talking to each other about their current situations and bragging about their business. It looked like an ordinary gathering.
The overall atmosphere is very harmonious, without any bloody scenes.
Soon, everyone was satisfied with the food and drink.
"Where are we going after dinner?" Shao Yiqi asked after paying the bill generously.
"For a class reunion, of course we go to the most classic KTV!"
“Let’s go, let’s go…”
Yang Ruoqian breathed a sigh of relief.
A one-stop service of dining and KTV, a very classic class reunion process.
During the miserable days of working for the system in vain, at least there was this normal and harmonious group of classmates who could bring a little warmth to his heart.
