Earth.

The sky was gloomy and the north wind was howling.

"Why has the weather become more and more abnormal in the past two years?"

"Extreme weather such as drought and flood disasters are everywhere. Could it be that spiritual energy is about to revive?"

When Su Qing woke up early in the morning, he found that it was cloudy outside again and couldn't help muttering.

He stretched and there was a crackling sound.

A punch was thrown, the air exploded, and a sonic boom was created.

Estimate your own strength: seven thousand five hundred kilograms!

"Martial arts, really good!"

Last night, after Su Qing finished practicing Taoism and supernatural powers, he tried to practice the martial arts secret book "Pure Yang Treasure Book".

After a night, a strand of pure Yang internal energy as thick as a hair flowed through his meridians, and his physical strength increased by a hundred pounds.

"This feeling is really good, but the consumption of divine crystals is too great."

Obviously, the earth does not have the spiritual energy of heaven and earth for Su Qing to practice, so he can only use divine crystals instead.

The consequence of practicing the three systems at the same time is that the divine crystals are consumed like water.

At present, Su Qing only has more than 200 divine crystals left, which are at most enough for him to cultivate to the bronze level of supernatural powers, Taoist Qi training, and martial arts innate level.

"Never mind for now. When the time comes, we'll go find Brother Xie after we're done."

Shaking his head, he opened the closet and picked out a set of casual clothes to put on.

I'm going to attend a class reunion today and meet my old classmates from ten years ago.

At 11 o'clock in the morning, after teaching Su Zichen the routine painting class, Su Qing drove him to the gate of Century City Community.

Then drive to the only four-star hotel in the county, Longcheng International.

"Good morning, welcome to Longcheng International Hotel!"

There were two rows of eight tall and pretty receptionists standing at the door. When Su Qing came, they all bowed and greeted her with smiles.

"Hello sir, are you here to dine in or stay in? Do you have a reservation in advance?"

One of the receptionists stepped forward and came respectfully in front of Su Qing.

"Let me see, it seems that the room we booked is Room 8888."

Su Qing took a look at Lin Xueyun's message and replied.

"Okay, room 8888 is on the eighth floor. Please follow me. We need to take the elevator up."

The receptionist said this and took Su Qing to the elevator on the side of the lobby.

"Hey Mr. Su?"

At this moment, a surprised voice came from behind.

Su Qing looked back and saw that it was Wang Jingui.

But then I thought, this hotel is originally owned by Wang Jingui, so it is normal to meet him here.

"Mr. Wang, long time no see."

Thinking of this, Su Qing went up to him with a smile.

"Yeah, I haven't seen Mr. Su for a long time."

Wang Jingui held Su Qing's hand with a smile on his face.

"Dad, this is..."

A young woman next to Wang Jingui tilted her head and looked at Su Qing, her eyes full of confusion.

She had never seen her father treat a young person so kindly.

"Haha, Miaomiao, let me introduce you. This is Mr. Su Qingsu, whom Dad often mentioned to you. He is a famous young painter in our country."

Wang Jingui looked at the woman lovingly and introduced her: "Don't you often look at the paintings hanging in my study and say you want to ask Mr. Su for advice when you have the chance? That painting was painted by Mr. Su."

"Mr. Su, this is my naughty daughter, Wang Miaomiao."

Then he introduced Su Qing.

Su Qing suddenly realized that she had heard about this widely circulated rumor in the county before.

It is said that Wang Jingui had done many bad things in the past and could not give birth to a son, only this precious daughter.

"Hello, Miss Wang. I am Su Qing."

However, Su Qing had no interest in this kind of rich lady and greeted her indifferently.

"Are you Su Qing?"

Wang Miaomiao looked at him, her eyes lit up and she was very surprised.

She was wearing a professional suit. She was tall, plump and had a delicate face.

She had two ponytails and wore a pair of high heels.

The breath of youth and liveliness is overwhelming.

"Su Qing?"

Su Qing was about to reply when someone called him from a distance.

Looking back, it was the old squad leader Lin Xueyun.

"Mr. Su, do you have an appointment with a beautiful lady? Then I won't bother you, Mr. Su."

Wang Jingui looked at the woman walking towards him quickly, and a glimmer of understanding flashed in his eyes.

"Okay, let's talk next time."

Su Qing nodded slightly without explaining.

After saying that, Wang Jingui left with his daughter Wang Miaomiao.

"Su Qing, do you know Wang Jingui?"

Lin Xueyun walked over, looked at Wang Jingui and his daughter walking away, and asked thoughtfully.

“This is the second time I’ve seen him.”

Su Qing replied with no expression on his face.

"oh"

Lin Xueyun looked at him suspiciously, feeling that he was not telling the truth.

We were chatting so enthusiastically when we met for the second time, we didn't seem like strangers at all.

She found it increasingly difficult to see through her old classmate Su Qing, and became increasingly curious about him.

"Let's go, are all the students here?"

Su Qing changed the subject and asked.

"Some of them are here. Teacher Deng and others are here too."

Lin Xueyun lifted her hair and said, "By the way, I'm coming down to pick up Teacher Zhu. Do you want to come with me?"

"Teacher Zhu? I remember now. I heard that he seemed to have been transferred to work in the Education Bureau?"

A tall and thin figure emerged in Su Qing's mind. It was Zhu Wenbin, his junior high school physics teacher.

"Yes, he became the deputy director two years ago. He took time out of his busy schedule to attend our class reunion. We couldn't be impolite."

Lin Xueyun nodded, confirming Su Qing's doubts.

"Okay, I'll go with you."

Unexpectedly, the carefree Lin Xueyun has also learned to be tactful.

Su Qing laughed in silence and accompanied her to the hotel entrance.

After a while, a middle-aged man with a big belly came over.

From his features, Su Qing saw something familiar.

But I never thought that ten years later, the once tall, thin and handsome Teacher Zhu has turned into a greasy middle-aged uncle.

"Teacher Zhu is here. I am Lin Xueyun, the monitor of our Class 3 (4)."

Lin Xueyun came forward with a sweet smile on her face and introduced herself.

"Lin Xueyun? I have some impression of her."

Zhu Wenbin took a look at the welcoming lineup and a hint of displeasure flashed in his eyes.

Lin Xueyun didn't notice it, but it couldn't escape Su Qing's eyes.

"Oh, if I had known this, I shouldn't have come."

Su Qing sighed inwardly, feeling very annoyed.

"Hello, Mr. Zhu, I'm Su Qing."

He didn't show any expression on his face and greeted her with a smile.

"Su Qing?"

Zhu Wenbin frowned, as if he had heard of this name before.

"Yes, do you still remember Mr. Zhu?"

The three of them talked as they walked and took the elevator to the eighth floor.

Hotel lobby.

"Hello, Mr. Wang. What about that young man you just talked to? He seems to be attending a class reunion."

"Yes, in room 8888, which they booked last month."

"Give them a free meal and put it on your account? OK, I understand, I'll give the order."

8888 private room.

Pushing open the door, the interior is decorated magnificently and covers an area of ​​more than 200 square meters.

There were four tables in the private room, with twenty to thirty people sitting or standing in groups of three or four.

Seeing the door being pushed open, everyone looked over.

"Teacher Zhu is here. Welcome, Teacher Zhu."

"Teacher Zhu, I'm Zhang Yong, do you remember me?"

"Hello, Teacher Zhu."

Seeing Zhu Wenbin, they all stood up and came forward to greet him.

Su Qing lagged behind by one step, watching the world with cold eyes.

A deputy director made the students, who were originally innocent but are no longer innocent after entering the society, flatter him so enthusiastically.

Su Qing didn't know what to say for a moment.

"Hello classmates, I haven't seen you for ten years. You have all grown up."

Zhu Wenbin is worthy of being a leader, he speaks a series of polite words without repeating himself.

After giving a long opening speech, everyone surrounded him and sat down in the main seat.

"Classmates, look who he is? Can anyone recognize him?"

At this time, Lin Xueyun pulled Su Qing and asked everyone with a smile who he was.

"Su Qing, you are here."

Yuan Xiaoxiao stood up excitedly and called out his name.

"Su Qing?"

The other students suddenly understood and had an impression.

"Wow, Su Qing has grown so tall. What a big change."

"I remember when he was in junior high school, he seemed to be only a little bit tall, short and thin."

"They say girls change a lot when they grow up, and boys also change a lot when they grow up."

The students were extremely surprised and started talking about it.

"Su Qing, what did you grow up eating?"

"I remember we were the same height before, but now you are a head taller than me."

A male classmate walked up to Su Qing, gestured, and asked in a depressed tone.

"Are you Lu Xiaorong? Wow, you've grown a lot taller."

Looking at this classmate, Su Qing remembered his name.

"Finally you recognized me. I thought you had turned your back on me."

Lu Xiaorong hugged him tightly, and Su Qing also grinned.

"Haha, ten years have passed in a flash, and everyone has changed a lot."

He identified his classmates one by one, and recognized most of them, but there were some whose names he could not remember.

"Su Qing, I remember now."

At this moment, Zhu Wenbin slapped his thigh and a look of sudden enlightenment appeared on his face.

"Good boy, I didn't expect you to be my former student. It's a great honor for me as your teacher."

He stood up and waved to Su Qing, appearing very enthusiastic.

"Director Zhu, Su Qing and...

The head teacher, Mr. Deng, was a little shocked and stood up as well.

Not only him, but also several other teachers and students present were puzzled.

Teacher Zhu looked like Su Qing was very famous and great. "Haha, you may not know this, but Su Qing is a famous painter in China."

Zhu Wenbin walked quickly to Su Qing, patted his shoulder, his face flushed.

The Education Bureau is related to cultural work. He had heard his old leader talk about it during a previous county meeting.

It is said that Linjiang has produced a very young great painter who is quite famous in the domestic and even world art circles, and has brought honor to Linjiang County.

The leader mentioned the name casually at that time, so Zhu Wenbin felt a sense of familiarity when he heard Su Qing's name.

Until just now, he searched on the Internet and found Su Qing's information.

There is very little information on it, only name and place of origin, no photo.

But now after comparing it, it is the student Su Qing in front of him.

"Do you remember that last month, our Linjiang's richest man, Wang Jingui, spent a whopping 5 million yuan to hire a painter named Su to paint a picture for us?"

"Fuck, the boss is actually my old classmate? Damn, this is simply like a fantasy!"

"Five million for a painting? Isn't that too outrageous?"

"Hey, if you paint one picture a day, how much money can you make in a year?"

As soon as Zhu Wenbin finished speaking, everyone in the private room became excited.

They all looked at Su Qing in surprise, as if they were looking at a monster.

We are all around 26 or 27 years old, and earning 10,000 yuan a month is a very high salary.

Some of my classmates went to work in factories to screw screws after finishing junior high school. They worked overtime and were exhausted, but could only earn five or six thousand at most.

If they want to earn the money that Su Qing makes from a painting, they would have to work hard for eighty years without eating or drinking!

We are all classmates of the same age, Tong Jiuyi, He Ruxiu?

"Teacher Zhu, you are too kind. My level is still very low and I don't deserve to be called a great painter."

When his identity was exposed, Su Qing did not hesitate and admitted it readily.

I wanted to get along with everyone as an ordinary person, but I didn't expect to be recognized anyway.

In this case, I'm going to show my cards! Some time ago, under the operation of Wang Jingui, he joined the National Association.

He also sent the painting "The Setting Sun at the End of the World" to various exhibitions, which brought him a lot of fame.

He has become famous in the world art world and has become a well-known young painter in China.

"Oh my goodness, it's really you? I remember you didn't study at CAFA in college, did you?"

"I have some impression that Su Qing was studying in a second-tier university in the province, majoring in tourism management?"

“This is a completely unrelated major.”

Seeing Su Qing admit it himself, the classmates were even more shocked.

Wow, a student studying tourism management actually became a great painter.

Isn't this too magical? Even those who write online novels don't dare to write like this!

"I am a self-taught person. I worked a lot of jobs after graduation, and then I fell in love with painting."

Su Qing was still a little uncomfortable being surrounded by so many people enthusiastically, so he started to explain.

"Hi, self-taught, even more awesome!"

"Yes, it seems that Su Qing has a great talent for painting, but it has not been discovered before."

"Hey, we are all classmates. You are handsome and talented. How can ordinary people like us survive?"

The students sighed and said it felt like a dream.

"Hey, Su Qing, you are too modest. Come on, let's add each other as WeChat friends."

Zhu Wenbin looked proud. He took out his mobile phone and opened the QR code.

"Okay, teacher, I'll add you."

Su Qing scanned the QR code and added him as a friend.

"Let's add friends."

"Yes, I can brag about having such an outstanding student like you for the rest of my life."

The homeroom teacher, Mr. Deng, and several other teachers also followed suit, and other students were no exception, wanting to add Su Qing as their friend.

Su Qing did not refuse and added everyone as his friend one by one.

A sense of enlightenment arose in his heart.

Before, he had not revealed his identity, and his classmates were indifferent to him.

The teachers were also quite polite and treated him as just an ordinary student.

Once the identity is exposed, everyone's attitude changes 180 degrees.

Life is like a play, full of different forms. It is true! On the big stage of life, people with ability can become the protagonists.

Without any skills, he can only play the role of a passerby with no lines, and leave as soon as he gets his lunch box.
