Upon hearing Jiang Tian's name, Zhao Mingyao's mood instantly soured.
Why does Jiang Tian seem like a persistent ghost?
I haven't seen her in a long time, and I haven't gone to look for her, but here I am, I hear her name again.
However, Zhao Mingyao did not do anything inappropriate just because the other party mentioned Jiang Tian's name.
She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and asked, "Why did you ask about her?"
"Didn't you know? She's also a graduate of our class. I was planning to invite her, but she's not very outgoing these days, so I was just asking you. If you think she's an interesting person, maybe you two could become friends, then I should definitely invite her. I heard she married well, and back then you seemed to enjoy hanging out with girls from ordinary backgrounds, so maybe you'll like her."
Cheng Yuanxu's meaning is quite clear.
He believed that Jiang Tian had also risen to a higher social status.
Zhao Mingyao is in a similar situation to her, so he might become interested in her.
As for the scene he had just witnessed, Cheng Yuanxu planned to keep it a secret for the time being.
Actually, he had even crazier ideas in his mind.
Since Jiang Tian has already cheated on him, wouldn't he also have a chance?
This class reunion would be a great opportunity.
Zhao Mingyao was a little stunned. She knew that Jiang Tian was from the same university as her, but she didn't know anything about Jiang Tian's other experiences.
After all, her college years were wonderful.
Even though she graduated several years ago, Zhao Mingyao still unconsciously thinks about her university.
In fact, Zhao Mingyao felt that her college years were the best time of her life.
Even though she is now seen as a wealthy woman and someone many people can't reach, her self-esteem has been severely damaged.
After all, everyone around her was more outstanding than her, as if she had entered this circle by stealing other people's wealth, which felt terrible.
But it was completely different in college.
At that time, Zhao Mingyao was very outstanding, and many people pursued her.
She is youthful, positive, and full of energy.
Wasn't it because of their time together in college that Shen Dingkun fell in love with her?
Therefore, even though Zhao Mingyao now comes from an extraordinary family and can travel by helicopter, enjoying unparalleled wealth, she still can't forget the happiness of her university days.
She desperately hopes that one day she can become a successful person in the eyes of others, but is being a successful person just staying at home like she is now?
Zhao Mingyao acknowledges her efforts, but do others? Does society acknowledge them? She doesn't intend to confront mainstream society, and she knows she doesn't have the ability to do so.
So now she can only live the life of a wealthy lady, a socialite in the eyes of others.
Family values became the only way for her to demonstrate her own worth.
This frustrated her even more.
But she also knew very well that compared to those who married worse off, her life was happy enough.
However, Zhao Mingyao hasn't had a very good time lately, and she's encountered quite a few problems.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have attended this class reunion.
She just wanted to find a sense of belonging and rediscover her former self.
She was so frustrated during this period that it almost drove her to the brink of collapse.
"So, you're planning to invite her?"
Zhao Mingyao's tone was somewhat cold.
People with low emotional intelligence definitely wouldn't be able to hear the emotions in her words.
Cheng Yuanxu wasted a good name. Most people thought he was a gentle and warm person, but in reality, his emotional intelligence was not high, and he often did things that made people unhappy.
So he didn't notice Zhao Mingyao's displeasure at all, and instead said with great interest, "I don't want to invite her, I just want to ask for your opinion, to see if you want to invite her. She's quite nice. If you want to invite her, I can act as a go-between."
"You and she are classmates?"
Cheng Yuanxu quickly replied, "Yes, we had a very good relationship, especially in college. But then she disappeared, and we lost touch."
"Then what does she have to do with me?"
Zhao Mingyao then asked this question.
Cheng Yuanxu was completely dumbfounded by the question. How did he know?
"I'm not quite sure..."
"Since you don't really understand, why did you ask me to invite her? Why did you recommend her to me? You really have no sense of propriety, you know? I don't know what kind of upbringing you received, but I attended your class reunion because your group of people invited me so warmly. Just because we're friends on social media doesn't mean you're on the same level as me."
"You always judge others based on your own assumptions, isn't that a bit too biased? Sometimes you need to reflect on why you haven't been promoted. Is it because you haven't done enough, or do you lack the emotional intelligence of others? When I ask you to organize events like this, do you always end up causing trouble? I really don't understand why you're the one negotiating with me. Maybe you could find another organizer; I can talk to him much better!"
Having lived a life of luxury for so many years, Zhao Mingyao was prone to snapping.
Upon hearing her question, Cheng Yuanxu's mind went completely blank.
To be honest, he never expected that his simple suggestion to see if Zhao Mingyao would be willing to attend the banquet with Jiang Tian and become friends with her would trigger such a huge outburst from Zhao Mingyao.
It should be noted that Zhao Mingyao had been quite polite to him before and had not shown any discrimination.
Now, Zhao Mingyao has made her stance clear. She's practically telling Cheng Yuancheng and Yuanxu directly, "You and I are not on the same path. I'm just attending your banquet. Don't try to get close to me or do anything messy."
But didn't her words express that very meaning?
Now Cheng Yuanxu really didn't dare to say a word.
He couldn't help but swallow hard, carefully recalling what he had just said.
After a while, he finally realized the problem—he shouldn't have mentioned other people in front of her, right?
He quickly tried to salvage the situation: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Ms. Zhao. Don't worry, I won't do that again. I just suddenly thought of someone and wanted to find someone interesting to be with you, so I thought of Jiang Tian. I really didn't mean to look down on you, nor did I have any intention of competing with you. And I certainly didn't want to put any Tom, Dick, or Harry around you."
The reason why people like Cheng Yuanxu can stay in their workplace is because they are flexible and adaptable.
Although he has low emotional intelligence, he is able to be humble, so most of the time others can't do anything to him and can only avoid associating with him, since he hasn't made any mistakes at work.
Upon hearing Cheng Yuanxu's words, Zhao Mingyao suddenly remembered that it was she who had initially asked Cheng Yuanxu if he knew anyone interesting, which is why he recommended Jiang Tian.
