"Dad, why don't you sleep in the guest room?"
There are no computers in the guest rooms.
"I finally got kicked out to sleep, can't I even play some games?"
Xu Xiu: "......"
"Then I'll sleep in the guest room!"
"No, your mother said I can't let you out of my sight."
"Dad, can't you have some backbone?"
Xu Xiu said with disdain.
"What's the use of backbone? I want a wife..."
Xu Tinglong acted like a sycophant, and Xu Xiu was speechless. He simply put down his luggage and went to the bathroom to wash up.
The holiday was exceptionally difficult for Xu Xiu.
When they were in Jincheng, Hanhan slept with Fang Xueting, and when they returned to Shixian, Hanhan slept at home.
The two of them work together during the day, and under the watchful eyes of others, they can only behave properly.
In less than two weeks of the two-month summer vacation, the light in Xu Xiu's eyes had already disappeared.
In mid-June, the class monitor in our high school group chat said he was going to organize a class reunion.
Since everyone had only been separated for a year, their enthusiasm and motivation were high, so the class monitor tallied the number of people in the group chat.
Xiao Ruoyan and Liu Qianxue simultaneously messaged Xu Xiu asking if he wanted to go, just as he was hesitating.
Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi have already registered him in the group...
The group chat immediately erupted in excitement: "Wow, our top scorer in the college entrance exam is coming!"
"Then I want to come too."
"I'll sign up too."
After learning that Xu Xiu was coming, more and more people signed up, and almost everyone showed up.
Squad leader Xiang Chao tagged Xu Xiu separately.
"Xu Xiu, are you sure you want to come?"
"Can I not come?"
As soon as Xu Xiu sent the message, the girls in the group all sent messages saying, "No way!"
These female classmates used to think Xu Xiu was handsome, but he was only interested in pursuing Liu Qianxue.
"Where should we eat, class monitor?"
"Yes, class monitor."
"Then you'll have to ask Mr. Xu." Xiang Chao had already found out about Xu Xiu's recent situation from Ning Bufan. It turned out that Xu Xiu's classmates all knew that his family owned a factory.
"Am I being dragged into this and made a fool of?"
Xu Xiu joked in the group chat.
"Mr. Xu, could you set a date? Where would you like to eat?"
"Yes, Mr. Xu, don't be stingy."
Amidst the laughter and cheers, a discordant voice suddenly broke out.
"The richer they are, the stingier they are, and you don't even know if they're just pretending to be rich."
Before Xu Xiu could say anything, the others started to refute him on his behalf.
Lu Hanyun is Xu Xiu's nemesis and love rival. In the past, Liu Qianxue at least paid attention to Xu Xiu, but she would not even acknowledge Lu Hanyun.
"Oh dear, Old Lu, that was so many years ago, do you still remember?"
"I don't know you! Don't shout at me like that."
Lu Hanyun replied directly in the group chat.
Xiang Chao quickly stepped in to smooth things over, saying, "Old Xu will book a hotel, and we can all split the bill."
"No way, to prove I have money, this meal has to be on me."
"Let's have dinner at the International Hotel. I'll book a table in the central hall; 4-5 tables should be enough."
"There's no time like the present, let's set the time for tomorrow night."
"Just to clarify, family members are not allowed. It doesn't matter if they are classmates."
Looking at Xu Xiu's comments in the group.
The students cheered and jumped for joy.
"Mr. Xu is awesome!"
"Mr. Xu is awesome!"
"I love President Xu the most!"
The classmate who said he loved President Xu the most was directly tagged by Xu Xiu, who posted a picture of someone who was already taken.
"Old Lu, you have to come tomorrow, I've missed you so much."
Xu Xiu also tagged Lu Hanyun.
Xiao Ruoyan rushed over from Shi County early the next morning. She had seen the messages in the group yesterday, but she was too embarrassed to say anything.
Before dinner, Xu Xiu, Ning Bufan, and Wang Mengqi met up and prepared to go to the hotel together.
Liu Qianxue was delayed by something, so she didn't go with them.
Many classmates had already arrived at the hotel. Xu Xiu took Xiao Ruoyan's hand and walked into the lobby.
The students exclaimed in surprise, "Old Xu, you're cheating! You said yourself that family members couldn't be brought along!"
"No, are you all blind? Don't you recognize this person?"
After a careful examination, everyone suddenly realized and exclaimed, "Holy crap, could this be Xiao?"
Some boys stared at Xiao Ruoyan as if they had discovered a treasure.
The female classmates all came over and looked her up and down. "Ruoyan, it really is you. You look so beautiful now."
Immediately afterwards, everyone saw Ning Bufan and Wang Mengqi also enter hand in hand.
Each of them seemed to have a series of question marks above their head...
Everyone took out their phones and looked at the sentence Xu Xiu had said in the group yesterday, and they all had an expression of sudden realization.
After everyone was seated, since the food hadn't been served yet and some classmates hadn't arrived, everyone sat together in twos and threes to chat.
Xu Xiu and Xiao Ruoyan were surrounded by the most classmates, and each of them wanted to gossip about something.
At that moment, a beautiful figure walked in from outside the door, instantly attracting everyone's attention, and everyone looked over.
Liu Qianxue dressed up specially today. She didn't greet anyone and went straight to sit in the empty seat next to Xiao Ruoyan.
Then he started chatting with Xiao Ruoyan. The classmates were all taken aback. When did these two become so close?
Lu Hanyun was sitting not far away watching this scene. When he saw Liu Qianxue walk in, he felt a mix of emotions.
When the squad leader, Xiang Chao, saw that almost everyone had arrived, he picked up the microphone and addressed the group.
"Classmates, this is our first reunion since graduating from high school."
"I would like to first thank Xu Xiu for his generous donation."
"I also want to thank everyone for giving me, the class monitor, the face to attend today's class reunion."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a classmate retorted.
"Squad leader, don't flatter yourself. We're here for General Manager Xu, okay?"
"Yeah yeah."
"We're here to curry favor with General Manager Xu."
Xiang Chao, without getting annoyed, laughed and said, "If anyone's going to try to curry favor, it has to be me, the class monitor, first!"
Amidst the bickering of the group, the waiters began serving the dishes one after another, and the students were all astonished by what they saw.
This is practically a Manchu Han Imperial Feast! Even the most exquisite delicacies couldn't compare.
The students immediately took out their phones to take pictures and post them on WeChat Moments.
Lu Hanyun disdainfully took out his phone, snapped a photo, and sent it to his best friend.
During the meal, many classmates came over to toast Xu Xiu, and many girls surrounded Xiao Ruoyan, while no one paid any attention to Liu Qianxue.
Xiao Ruoyan used to be shy and insecure, so she didn't know how to get along with other classmates, while Liu Qianxue was simply aloof.
Seeing that Liu Qianxue was all alone and no one was paying attention to her, Lu Hanyun mustered up his courage and walked over.
Before he could say anything, he was forced back by Liu Qianxue's icy and piercing gaze.
Just then, Xu Xiu bypassed Xiao Ruoyan and asked Liu Qianxue a few questions about work. Liu Qianxue immediately changed into the demeanor of a girl next door.
At this moment, Lu Hanyun cursed inwardly, "Xu Xiu, I'm not finished with you!"
After Xu Xiu and Liu Qianxue finished discussing work matters, they realized that someone seemed to be watching them.
He turned around and noticed that Lu Hanyun was staring at him inexplicably.
He called out directly, "Old Lu, what are you standing there for? Come on, come over and have a drink."
