Gao Huai was Luo Yingtao's second boyfriend when she was at K University. After breaking up with Si Mingda, she quickly threw herself into Gao Huai's arms, which made Si Mingda lose face and also caused the two boys to become mortal enemies.
Because Simingda liked Luo Yingtao extremely, he did not think that she had fallen in love with someone else. Instead, he thought that Gao Huai was taking advantage of his wealth to steal his love. He vented his resentment of heartbreak on Gao Huai. During his school years, he once beat Gao Huai and was criticized by the school for this. Until graduation, their knot in their hearts was not resolved.
Gao Huai's family is relatively wealthy. When he and Luo Yingtao were in love, he let her enjoy the romance and sweetness. Until the eve of graduation, Gao Huai insisted on returning to his hometown to develop, and Luo Yingtao wanted to come to Nanyou City, so they had to break up. They had no contact for so many years and they had no idea about each other's current situation.
After a while, several other alumni came into the private room. There were eighteen people in total, all of whom were alumni of the English major at K University and they were all familiar with each other.
Luo Yingtao, weighed down by a recent string of emotional and financial woes, had come to a gathering at Yan Zi's invitation, hoping to chat and unwind, perhaps to relieve her pent-up emotions. But she hadn't expected to run into Gao Huai, a man she hadn't seen in years. Was the Nanyou City alumni community too narrow?
She was not sure whether Yan Zi asked her to attend the English Department party because she knew Gao Huai was coming and deliberately created an opportunity for them to reunite after a long separation?
Over the years, she had experienced too much of the ways of the world and suffered from the coldness of the world. She had long been disheartened by many people and things around her and had no mood to miss Gao Huai. Although he had been good to her in the past, after more than ten years of separation, she had no idea what Gao Huai was doing for a living or his family situation.
She took out her phone and sent a WeChat message to Yan Zi: "Did you know Gao Huai was coming to the party? Why didn't you let me avoid him?"
Yan Zi read the WeChat message and replied, understandingly, "I hadn't been in touch with him before. A few days ago, when we were planning the party, a friend told me he knew Gao Huai's contact information, so I called him and asked him to come over for a chat. But don't get me wrong, I didn't ask you to come because of him. I mainly saw that you haven't been in a good mood lately, so I wanted to ask you to come and relax. We haven't seen each other for so many years, so let's just chat casually now that we meet. Don't overthink it. It's not easy for so many people to get together, so let's just have fun."
"Gao Huai is not a monster. Do you think I'm afraid of him?" Luo Yingtao deliberately added a pouting expression.
Yan Zi was immediately amused after seeing the WeChat message and replied, "Haha, Yingtao, it's good that you can think this way. We are all this age now, and we all know each other well. What's there to mind?"
"I know what's going on."
Gao Huai sat next to Luo Yingtao. He could clearly feel that her eyes were a little evasive. He understood her feelings. They had been separated for more than ten years, and it was inevitable that it would be a little awkward in front of so many people. Considering the special relationship between them, Luo Yingtao didn't want to talk to him, and he didn't want to force her, so he turned around and chatted with other classmates.
Yan Zi was very clever. She knew that Luo Yingtao and Gao Huai had a grudge, so she stood up and deliberately said loudly, "Hey, Gao Huai, I heard that you've made a lot of money in the past few years running a foreign trade company. Boss, tell us about your story of how you made your fortune."
"Haha, you little devil, you can't hide anything." Gao Huai scolded.
"Boss Gao, if you have money, you have money. Why are you being so reserved? We are old classmates. What's there to hide? Tell us about your history of making a fortune."
Yan Zi has a cheerful personality and is good at livening up the atmosphere.
Gao Huai subconsciously glanced at Luo Yingtao. She was looking down at her phone and didn't clap or cheer like the other students. He chuckled and said, "Well, everyone here is an old classmate. We know each other well, so there's nothing we can't talk about. I'm very excited to meet you again after such a long time, so I'll just talk about my experiences since graduation."
"Good! Welcome Mr. Gao to give a speech." Yan Zi led the enthusiastic applause.
Gao Huai calmed himself down and said, "After graduating from K University, I had to return to my hometown at the request of my parents and taught at a private middle school for three years. Not long after I got married, the private school system was chaotic and the management opinions of several shareholders were inconsistent. This unknowingly affected my career development. Later, at the suggestion of a relative, I followed him to Nanyou City to seek opportunities. This is a development zone with more job opportunities. I started working in foreign trade for a company. Four years ago, I established my own trading company, which deals in electronic product exports. However, it was just a small business, so I was not a big boss. I can't compare with everyone here. I can only make a living."
"Haha, Gao Huai, don't be so modest. We won't ask you to borrow money." Yan Zi rolled her eyes at Gao Huai and deliberately retorted.
Another female classmate joined in the commotion, "Yeah, Gao Huai, a big boss is a big boss. These days, men only have face if they have money. Some people clearly don't have money, but they still brag and act like they have it. Stop being so secretive. Where's the courage you had back then at K University?"
"Haha, old classmates, you guys are always making fun of me. My company only has five people, so how can I be considered a big boss?"
Gao Huai smiled self-deprecatingly. He still spoke in the same casual style as when he was in school.
"It doesn't matter what the scale is, as long as he's 'Mr. Gao', it's enough. Unlike us, we're still poor workers." Yan Zi said with a pout.
"Hey, you all think so highly of me. I'm going to eat and drink to my heart's content tonight, otherwise I won't let you down." Gao Huai joked.
