College town.
People in the alley.
When Chen Fan and his classmates were in school, this location was a Sichuan restaurant.
It's just that the owner was replaced later, and the new owner renovated the store at the original address.
The dishes are fresh and the prices are relatively affordable, and they are popular among college students in the surrounding area.
The party is scheduled for the afternoon.
Ma Xiaoshuai booked the largest private room, which had three large tables that could accommodate twenty or thirty people.
Chen Fan originally thought that Wu Di would at most call a dozen people over, but he was stunned when he entered the scene.
The big private room was full of people, and there were about twenty or thirty old classmates.
Some people heard that Chen Fan was going to have a dinner party, and even asked for leave to rush over from Beijing, Shanghai, and Guangzhou overnight.
After all, there is enough of a billionaire among our classmates, and as old classmates, we all feel honored.
Entered university in 2000 and graduated in 2004.
It has been six years since I graduated from university.
Many classmates have changed dramatically.
Chen Fan didn’t even recognize some of his classmates and couldn’t even remember their names.
The boys gathered together, chatting about their growing beer bellies, the endless overtime work, marriage, and the pressure of mortgage payments.
The girls gathered together and talked about who had given birth to a second child, who's husband got rich, who divorced who...who was out of shape, who had children going to school, who was under pressure in life...and of course, they would quietly discuss Chen Fan.
Wu Di was the monitor when he was in school. After graduating and joining the workforce, he had several years of experience and was like a veteran in the winery. Even his speech was like that of a veteran cadre.
However, this time the dinner was very good with Wu Di and a few other boys leading the charge.
At this point, everyone seemed to have let go of all the pressures of real life and returned to that desirable college age.
Chen Fan was worried, so he drank without restraint today and accepted everyone's offer. Whenever an old classmate came to toast him, he would drink with them with a smile.
A girl smiled and suggested taking a photo with Chen Fan so that she could brag about it to her colleagues when she got home.
Chen Fan agreed with a smile.
Halfway through the dinner, everyone had drunk a lot of wine, and everyone's emotions were obviously aroused.
Some girls bravely teased Chen Fan in a half-joking tone.
"Mr. Chen, you are so rich now, why don't you support me? I can do anything."
Everyone laughed.
Someone immediately retorted: "You vixens, forget it. Mr. Chen is already married."
"Alas, are you telling me I'm blind? Why didn't I discover Mr. Chen, this gem, when I was in college?"
"They say those who are close to water get the moon first, why haven't I got any advantage?"
"I heard that Mr. Chen seemed to have been in a relationship when he was in school. So, we haven't had a chance yet..."
After marriage, women obviously have no taboos on the topic, and occasionally throw out a dirty joke, which is even bolder than men.
Ma Xiaoshuai sent a video invitation to Luo Wenjie, who was on the other side of the ocean.
As a result, Luo Wenjie on the other end of the phone was very anxious.
"You guys actually had a secret party without inviting me."
"But then again, guys, you really don't know how open-minded American women are."
"Compared to them, I'm like a pure little quail."
"Alas, it's only been a few days, and I already feel like I've been contaminated by capitalist corruption."
A few people were laughing and chatting on video, but a classmate watching nearby felt a little uncomfortable.
After all, those in Chen Fan’s university dormitory now hold senior management positions in Ruofan Group and have no worries about food and clothing.
Compared with others, they are still struggling for mortgage payments and family life.
What is the difference between me and others?
Not bad at all.
The only difference was that I wasn't assigned to the same dormitory as Chen Fan in college.
Perhaps, the only thing missing is a little luck.
Finally, a woman couldn't help but walked towards Chen Fan with a wine glass.
"Mr. Chen, I'd like to toast you."
Chen Fan recognized her. She seemed to be Wang Yanyan, the former study committee member of the class. She was a very serious student.
After the two of them had a drink, Chen Fan asked with a smile, "I remember that when you were in school, you seemed to be preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination, right?"
"How was it? Did you pass the exam?"
Wang Yanyan nodded. "I passed the exam. Later, I found a husband who is a graduate student. I have two children now."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Congratulations. What do you do now?"
Wang Yanyan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I don't have a job. I'm currently taking care of the kids at home."
Upon hearing this, Chen Fan shook his head.
"What a pity! You've worked so hard to graduate, don't waste your knowledge. You can leave the child with your family. If it's really inconvenient, you can hire a nanny."
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Wang Yanyan's eyes, and it was obvious that she had something to hide.
After hesitating for a few seconds, Wang Yanyan finally gritted her teeth.
"Mr. Chen, I'd like to ask if your company is still hiring? My husband lost his job a while ago."
"The mortgage is suffocating us. I think one of us needs to work and earn money..."
"Mr. Chen, if your company has a suitable position, would you consider me?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the noise at the scene became noticeably quieter.
In fact, everyone came here for dinner today with this in mind, more or less.
With such a big boss around, who wouldn’t want to be the first to get the upper hand?
This is human nature and has nothing to do with anything else.
Chen Fan paused for a second and smiled.
"The group is always recruiting. There is a severe shortage of people in various positions."
"But what's your graduate major?"
“Auditing.”
Chen Fan smiled and said, "All the companies under the group are in need of relevant talents. You can submit your information to the company's human resources department..."
Wang Yanyan was a little embarrassed. "But I... haven't worked for over three years. I've been a housewife the whole time. I applied to a few companies before, but when they heard I had no work experience in the past two years, they refused to hire me..."
Chen Fan understood what the other party was worried about.
"It doesn't matter. As long as you have the ability, we welcome you even if you don't have a degree."
"You can submit your resume first, and I'll mention it to HR later."
Wang Yanyan had never expected that Chen Fan would agree so readily.
She had just been trying her luck.
"Thank you, Mr. Chen, thank you, Mr. Chen..."
Chen Fan smiled and said, "Don't thank me yet, but which city do you live in now? If you really want to work, you have to make arrangements for your family first."
Wang Yanyan just shook her head.
"It's okay. I don't have high expectations. As long as they give me a job, even if it's a low-level employee, no matter which city the company assigns me to work in, I can overcome it."
For her, life has pushed her into a corner.
As long as you find a job, it doesn't matter where you work in the future.
Compared with life, face is nothing.
