As of 24:00 on October 6, the cumulative box office of "The Outstanding" has reached 47 million yuan.
Shen Zhaokun arranged a celebration banquet on the last night of the National Day holiday.
On the morning of the 7th, Jiang Xiaoli was about to go to find Xiao Muyu and Yuan Man to have a meal with her old high school classmates when she was blocked by Zhong Yuan as soon as she opened the door.
"Little Pear, where are you going? Aren't you going to start preparing for the celebration banquet tonight?"
She chuckled softly, "Brother Yuan, I have a class reunion at noon today. Didn't I tell you last night? Don't worry, I'll definitely be there tonight!"
Zhong Yuan was still a little worried. "Where are you going to the party? I'll pick up Xin Xin from the airport later and then pick you up from the party, okay?"
Jiang Xiaoli pushed him into the elevator, "Go pick up Xin Xin! You two haven't seen each other for a week, go wherever you want this afternoon, don't worry about me."
Zhong Yuan weighed the options for a moment, then said, "Alright, Lao Shen has emphasized to me many times that you absolutely must be there. Just remember, don't drink at the class reunion at noon!"
She got off the elevator on the 26th floor, smiled and waved, "I'll be there, bye-bye."
Xiao Muyu's door was open, and she went straight inside. "Have you two finished getting ready?"
Yuan Man came out carrying her luggage. "We've been waiting for you for ages. I'm going straight back to school after the dinner. Can you give me a ride?"
She nodded, "Yes, yes, let's go then?"
Xiao Muyu helped Yuan Man carry a small bag. "Xiao Man, I'm already learning to drive. I'll pick you up when I get my driver's license."
Yuan Man hugged her, "Xiaoyu is so virtuous!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoli couldn't help but retort, "So this is what being virtuous means? Yuan Xiaoman, your standards are really not high."
Yuan Man curled her lip, "Someone like you has the nerve to say my standards aren't high."
She said with great confidence, "That's right, I've found a virtuous fiancé!"
After she pulled this tactic, Yuan Man was speechless. "What's wrong with Zong Jia?"
Xiao Muyu followed the two of them into the elevator. "On this point, she's like an impenetrable fortress. We can't find a way to break through her defenses, and our chances of winning an argument with her are really slim."
Jiang Xiaoli chuckled, "Give Comrade Xiao Zong a big score!"
Yuan Man shook his head repeatedly, "Sigh, what a fine man, how did he go blind?"
Once in the car, Jiang Xiaoli casually asked, "How many people came today?"
Yuan Man replied, "We arranged the gathering in advance. Most of the people who went home for the holiday arrived yesterday or this morning. Today, the majority of our class who are studying in Kyoto have arrived, a total of 13 people."
"That's quite a lot. I remember there were only 50 people in our class," she exclaimed.
Today's dinner was arranged at "Zhiweiju", the same restaurant where their classmates had their last get-together.
This time, everyone has changed quite a bit compared to last time. The most noticeable change is that most of them are a bit darker, but their energy levels are all much higher than before.
After all the food was served, Yuan Man, as the high school class monitor, raised her glass and stood up. "Coming to Kyoto and entering university, I truly realized how cramped the high school environment was. Now we've both been admitted to universities in Kyoto. I hope we can stay in touch more in the future, help and support each other, just like before!"
Everyone readily agreed, showing great respect, "We'll listen to the class monitor!"
Most of them hadn't officially started classes yet, and they had many questions for Jiang Xiaoli, a "veteran" who had spent a year at Peking University.
Every school is different to some extent, so Jiang Xiaoli can only offer sincere advice.
"I think university is a small society. Compared with the simple environment of high school life, which is full of classes, doing exercises and taking exams, university life has more and more complex attributes. I think everyone can actively participate in various school activities and competitions while ensuring their academic performance. This will help you grow up faster."
Another important point is that you may face many temptations, such as more entertainment options, romantic interests, etc. This isn't to say these are bad, but everything must be done in moderation, otherwise it can have very negative consequences.
Chen Jing smiled and said, "Jiang Jiang, I really envy you. You only entered school a year earlier than us, but I feel that you are more insightful than the seniors I have met recently."
Many people echoed Chen Jing's sentiments, and Tang Wanqiao also said, "Yes, my senior from the same major keeps coming to my dorm to sell things. She even promised my roommates that if they bought her things, she would introduce them to reliable tutoring resources. I think it's so materialistic."
Jiang Xiaoli smiled slightly, "This is just the beginning. I've heard many people say that freshmen are seen as easy targets by many upperclassmen. Some genuinely want to help freshmen, while others just want to make a quick buck off them. You must carefully distinguish between them."
Yuan Man spoke up at the right moment, "What Jiang Xiaoli said makes a lot of sense. We just arrived in Beijing and went straight into military training. We don't know much about the school yet. I think we should be careful about making any decisions. If we really can't make up our minds, we have so many classmates. Let's talk about it and discuss it together! Even three cobblers can outwit Zhuge Liang!"
After chatting about serious topics for a while, the conversation veered off-topic. Things like which school has the best food, which school offers better scholarships and benefits, and which school has an unbalanced male-to-female ratio…
Jiang Xiaoli buried herself in her rice, occasionally interjecting with her own words into their conversation.
Such simple and pure friendship among classmates is truly rare, and she thoroughly enjoys this feeling.
Today's lunch was split equally among everyone, but when everyone parted ways, Jiang Xiaoli gave each of them two movie tickets for "Qiaochu" that could be redeemed at any time.
"This is a movie that my company invested in and produced. It has received good reviews. I hope everyone can support it when they have time."
Chen Jing smiled and said after receiving the movie tickets, "Thank you so much, Boss Jiang!"
The others laughed and joked, "Thank you, Boss Jiang!"
Jiang Xiaoli smiled and said, "You're welcome, you're welcome. If you encounter any problems at school that you can't solve, remember to contact me. I'll definitely help if I can. Let's get together often in the future!"
"Definitely! Definitely!"
After parting ways with everyone, Jiang Xiaoli and Xiao Muyu escorted Yuan Man back to school. "Madam Yuan, keep it up! You're the best!"
Yuan Man carried the things in both hands, a big smile on her face. "Definitely! You two go back, and be careful on the road!"
On her way home, Xiao Muyu happily hummed along to the CD in the car.
Jiang Xiaoli glanced at her, "Are you in such a good mood today?"
Xiao Muyu nodded, "Yes, seeing everyone enthusiastically embracing their new lives makes me feel incredibly motivated!"
She chuckled lightly, "Alright, alright, I just sent my blessings to Madam Yuan, and I also wish Master Xiao a bright future!"
Xiao Muyu replied with a smile, "Then I wish Chairman Jiang a prosperous future!"
"Haha! I love this!"
