Chapter 112

Alumni Association

"I'm curious too. The original you never told me that Leng Qi was your classmate."

"How did you two know each other, Chen Lina? Don't tell me that Leng Qi is also your boyfriend or ex-husband. You know, the most I can tolerate is Xingshu Chazi and Nie Guozhu. I really can't stand other men. I beg you, please don't put my limited thoughts into jealousy with other men. I need to devote all my energy to work."

"You are just imagining things, okay? It's nothing, really nothing. But he is such a big leader, and I have done business in Hongyan, so it's impossible for me not to know him." Chen Lina said hastily.

The worker suddenly felt relieved. "What position did he achieve in his previous life?"

"He changed his job after the reform and opening up in 1984, and then somehow he took over a lot of the military region's mineral resources."

Nie Gong frowned. "Leng Qi has some old connections, so he has been in charge of the military logistics. According to what you said, is he also a bad force?"

Chen Lina nodded. "Yes, it's very evil."

"So when you came, was he still in Hongyan?"

"Speaking of his death, it was also tragic enough. It was probably around 1995. He was disemboweled, his knees were broken, and finally he was wrapped up like a baby and placed in his bedroom."

Nie Gong even took off his glasses. "The death was so bizarre, and the police haven't solved the case or found the murderer?"

"Yes, it was a big scene. We lived not too far from him. At that time, not all houses in Beijing were siheyuan, so we could be considered neighbors.

So I went to the scene and saw that there were more than a dozen people involved in this murder case, and all of them were his close friends.

In short, from the border to Hongyan and then to Beijing, many people were dragged out, shot one after another, and there was no end to them. "Chen Lina said.

Nie Gong didn't study these things, and said, "He who does evil will eventually perish. However, we were playmates when we were kids, and shared dorms when we were in school, so I'll still take the time to remind him."

Well, the fact is that Chen Lina has been living in the provincial capital of Hongyan since her divorce from Nie Guozhu.

Of course, it was also in the provincial capital of Hongyan that she met Leng Qi, who knew her much earlier than Lao Nie.

At that time, she had just arrived in Hongyan. Because she had a high school diploma, she worked as a contract textile worker in a wool factory. Someone introduced her to a divorced worker working in the logistics department of a military region, and the two of them slowly started dating like everyone else.

As a result, one day the clerk said he had got a ticket for a reception at the provincial hotel and wanted to treat her to a meal.

Chen Lina had no experience at the time, so she asked her coworkers to dress up and ran over happily. As a result, she was almost raped in the suite by him.

Leng Qi was just passing by at that time. He heard her cry for help and almost stepped on the clerk to death.

Then, it was natural for her to talk to Leng Qi.

Leng Qi said that he was also a divorcee. After all, he was handsome and held a high position. Although he was not very good at speaking, the sense of superiority brought by his position, status, and family background was completely different from that of an official.

The two were preparing to get married, but one day on the street, Chen Lina saw him walking with a slightly plump, older woman, and then she found out that he not only had a wife, but that his wife was pregnant.

So she decisively announced their breakup and refused to have any further contact with him, even avoiding him when she saw him.

Who knew that one time, he threw a divorce certificate to her on the street and said, "You just want me to divorce and marry you, right? The child was beaten, and the marriage was divorced a long time ago. Now I can marry you, right?"

What is this? In order to marry a new wife, he forced his wife to induce labor and divorce her eight-month-old child. He is a rare scumbag in the world. Chen Lina jumped up and scratched Leng Qi's face.

If she hadn't met the handsome, elegant, humorous and chic worker later, she would have thought there were no good men in the world.

However, it was really strange. She had cursed Leng Qi many times in front of Lao Nie in her previous life, so why had he never mentioned that Leng Qi was his classmate?

How many things had that old man Nie hidden from her in her previous life?

"Bo Zhao, are you ready? The students have already arrived. Today, the third floor of the VIP building in the back has been reserved for us students. Now we are just waiting for you two."

The lingering He Min was knocking on the door again. When Nie Gong opened the door, he was shocked. What's that saying?

"Secretary He, this is really a donkey in a suit." Chen Lina said teasingly with a smile.

"Director Chen, look at what you said, how can you call it a suit wrapped shoe? It should be called a suit leather shoe. You pronounced it wrong."

"My pronunciation is absolutely correct, it's 'wrapped donkey', really." Chen Lina said, picked up her canvas bag, went to the toilet and changed her clothes.

The two younger ones were also changing their clothes in a hurry. They were wearing the new shirts that their mother had just bought yesterday, and paired with the small suits that her mother had made herself, although the fabric was a little rough, but they were both so handsome.

"Wei Min, why don't you change your clothes?" He Min asked.

Nie Weimin was reading a book, and he didn't even raise his head. "I want to read a book, I'm not interested in going."

"You can't do this, Nie Weimin. Have you seen how strong my Jun is? He has excellent social skills. Even now, he can talk about the international situation when he meets the leaders. He is still your class monitor in school. As for you, if you continue like this, you will probably become a nerd like your father."

"My dad is my greatest idol. I will learn from him and work hard." Xiao Nie said proudly.

He Min once again secretly complained that Nie Gong was just a nerd, but she had to admit that Nie Gong was really awesome, like he was always waiting on his leader to discuss promotions.

Laborers never need to serve their leaders. Wherever they go, everyone treats them like gods. There's nothing they can do about it. They are able to create achievements.

"There are not many people here, at most a dozen students. How can we rent the whole building? Who will pay?" As soon as Nie Gong entered the room, he saw three female students and no more than seven or eight male students sitting at the big round table, so he said.

"As for this, Leng Qi will provide food and accommodation for the whole trip, so we don't have to worry about it." He Min said, and was about to invite Xiao Chen to take a seat.

Oh my, this seat is really well reserved, with Bao on one side and the worker on the other, and Leng Qi is sitting on the other side of Bao.

Chen Lina has never had any interest in class reunions. Besides, there are children here. The two younger ones are like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. It is the first time they have seen an indoor fountain and winding water with little goldfish swimming in the water. The children from the border grab their mothers' hands and insist on going to see the fish.

There was also a female classmate who brought two children, and two male classmates who also brought two children. The four in front were playing together, and then two more came, and they were like puppies, one teasing the other, and then they all played together.

"Where is Nie Gong's wife? Why doesn't she want to come in and see me?" Wang Lei from Daqing Light Industry Institute said, "I have seen the photo, and I have to say that those who support the frontier are different. Just now Xiao Bao praised her, saying that your wife is beautiful, and I guess she is really beautiful."

As he spoke, he made a fighting gesture. "Just by looking at the photo in the New Youth Daily, I knew she must be a model worker. But she's just a laborer. Did she pick two baskets of melons for us?"

Several male students immediately rubbed their hands and laughed. One of them even started to sing, "Bring your dowry, bring your sister, and come in the carriage. We don't need dowry, we just need Director Chen to bring two baskets of big melons."

Suddenly, everyone except Leng Qi started laughing.

"We don't have melons. Do you want oranges?" A clear Mandarin voice sounded behind the student. He turned around quickly and saw that he was eating an orange when a slice of it fell on the table.

Beautiful women are used to men's surprise.

Chen Lina brushed her skirt and sat down next to the worker. "The lyrics are wrong. In the frontier folk song, it's about bridesmaids, not sisters. You shouldn't use this to make fun of people."

Wang Lei from the Light Industry Institute took off his glasses and said, "Director Chen is really good at speaking. Come on, let me toast you first. Is that ok?"

Drinking, isn’t that Director Chen’s forte?

But she drank red wine and Wang Lei drank white wine, and she insisted on forcing him to drink as much as she did. After each of them drank a large cup, Wang Lei's tongue became big. "Beautiful, Nie Gong, your new daughter-in-law is so beautiful. Why don't we have such a beauty in Daqing? You don't know how fierce my daughter-in-law is, oh!"

Some people wanted to toast the worker, but Chen Lina said, "I'm drinking red wine, and you're men, so you have to drink white wine. If you don't drink, you're looking down on me, Chen Lina. So, if anyone doesn't dare to drink, get out of the table now."

When it was Leng Qi's turn to toast, he said nothing, picked up a bottle of Moutai, raised his head and drank it in one gulp.

The worker kept looking at his watch, then at his wife. It must be said that after all the toasts, Miss Chen, except for a slightly red face, her legs were not weak and her head was not dizzy, as if nothing had happened.

Of course, she is really beautiful today.

I don't know when she cut the skirt for herself. The pure black one is indeed cool. It looked ordinary when it was cut, but when she wore it, it was a little black skirt and long wavy hair, which perfectly outlined her figure.

The goddess Venus is just like her.

However, Venus does not have her oriental beauty with soft features and heroic spirit.

No, my heart would beat wildly if I looked at him for one more moment. The male classmates' eyes were all wide open. This woman was so beautiful and hot, she was truly the focus of the crowd of men. I wonder if that apricot tree fork in his previous life had ever been as jealous as he was.

"I have to say, our goddess is still old. Although Manli has never given birth to a child and dares not eat more to maintain her figure, she is old after all. Look at her eyes, they are sunken. Bozhao, where did you find this daughter-in-law? Do you have a younger sister at home?"

Just as Chen Lina was toasting, Leng Qi came over.

However, his face was a little close to little Chen Xiaoxiao's butt, and Ye Gong couldn't stand it anymore. He pulled Chen Lina to his side and sat in front of Leng Qi. "Leng Qi, don't talk about women. You don't respect women. Have you changed until now?" he said.

Leng Qi smiled but said nothing.

"You are in the army now. You must maintain the image of the army and not bring shame to our revolutionary team. So don't waste money. I will treat you to dinner today."

"Bo Zhao, you only have that little salary and you still have to support your parents. Where do you get the money? If you treat your sister-in-law, won't she eat you up? Or do you have some extra income?" Leng Qi wanted to test him in case he had already taken the gold.

"You are also a dead salary, you are not capable of corruption or bribery, right? I tell you, do not foster evil forces. You are my classmate, if you really dare to use the resources of the army to do that, as long as you let me know, I can make you take off your green skin and get back to our compound, do you understand?"

These two people came from the same compound.

Leng Qi touched the wine glass and drank a large glass of Maotai. His alcohol tolerance was really good, without showing off.

"With that little salary, your three sons will go to college in the future. I want to ask you, if you don't find some extra money, will it be enough for you?"

"There are many ways to find extra money. I can write papers and earn royalties. If I have to work hard, I can go to the farm to pick cotton. At least I won't embezzle the research funds given to me by the country, so you can't embezzle the army's money either," said Nie Gong.

Against the backdrop of his cold and steely eyebrows, the worker in his white shirt, overalls and black-framed glasses looked very gentle and refined.

"So you are a nerd, but you will eventually become a nobleman." The Qing Dynasty has fallen, but he is still a nobleman.

With one adjective, they ended the conversation between classmates.

But Nie Gong still saw Leng Qi's ambition through those glasses.

The chaos has been put to rest. The higher-ups are discussing a new direction, with his mentor as the leader. Everyone is thinking about how to make the people, who have suffered enough, richer and truly surpass Britain and the United States in terms of quality of life and reach the level of developed countries.

However, at this time, a mixed bag of people also poured in.

The colorful and bizarre things that Chen Lina described will probably gradually enter the lives of the four fathers and sons. Leng Qi has liked to take shortcuts and power since he was a child. It is natural for him to become a half-red and half-black evil force in the future.

The underworld is what Nie Gong hates most in his life, so he must protect his children.

"No no, Director Chen, no, Miss Chen, I really can't drink anymore, please spare me." This voice brought the worker back to reality. He saw that all the male classmates retreated away, some were pretending to be drunk, some were playing dumb, and some were pretending to vomit.

Miss Chen is fine.

Putting down her glass, she turned around, toasted him from afar, and smiled so brightly that Nie Gong didn't know how to respond.

But she was not drunk yet. She took the hand of a female classmate and said, "Sister Liu is the secretary of our Yimao Factory, right? Can we have a chat? We are in the frontier, with lots of cotton and wool. Now I want to start a wool spinning factory. I want to visit your Yimao Factory tomorrow. Is that okay?"

"Of course you can. But Xiao Chen, after dinner today, Manli said she would perform a show for us, and I have to sing a song "Little River Flowing". What about you, Xiao Chen, what do you plan to perform for the male students?" asked Director Liu of Yimao Factory.

At this time, Bao Manli, who had been sitting next to her drinking water, began to take off her clothes.

Oops, Miss Chen stole the limelight. Now it's her turn.

Of course, He Min started clapping first, and all the male students sat up straight in an instant.

Even Erdan and Sandan, and the rest of the kids who had drunk who knows how much soda and ate who knows how much cream cake, heard the music and ran out.

There is a stage here. Because several of Bao Manli's classmates did not go to the theater to watch her performance of "Dream of Dunhuang", she brought the entire group and waited outside.

"Director Chen is worthy of his title as a director. He is really good at flattering and is very versatile. He is a hero at the drinking table." She took off her windbreaker, revealing the tight-fitting, delicate dance costume underneath.

There were several drunk male classmates. Wang Lei just crawled out from under the table and his nose started bleeding because Goddess Bao's dress was so sexy.

Of course, Miss Bao is also very satisfied with this effect.

"I have dedicated my life to art, and the only thing I can give back to my classmates is art." With these words, Goddess Bao came on stage.

The male students were all looking at the stage with changing lights and shadows. Under the relatively simple stage effects, the goddess Bao was dancing with such graceful moves.

Her performance received a standing ovation. The male students could no longer hold back and, when they saw the full set of music from the military art troupe, they all rushed forward and sang a few songs.

Of course, everyone greeted Bao with respect. Her dance was truly beautiful.

At the same time, everyone hoped that Bao could dance one more time. As for Liu from Yimao Factory, he couldn't even get the chance to sing "Little River Flowing".

It can be said that just by virtue of his graceful dancing posture, Bao won a great victory.

Nie Gong finally pulled back goddess Chen who was about to continue to get the male classmate drunk, and the first thing he said was "In my eyes, you are the most beautiful woman in the world."

Miss Chen's face was not red just now, but now it is red, and her eyes are dazed. "Really?"

"Really? So, today's class reunion will end here. I brought work from Dongfeng City and I have to go back to catch up with my work." Okay, it turned out to be a lie.

"You're just afraid that I'll steal Miss Bao's limelight, you big liar." Miss Chen was sour and angry. She wasn't drunk, but the worker must have made her drunk. "No, I have to go on stage. I want to perform for everyone."

"You are drunk, and you can't even walk steadily. Hurry up, I will say goodbye to them and help you go back, okay?" Nie Gong said hurriedly.

"But you still think she's prettier than me."

"No, you are the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. Besides, why do women have to compare with each other?" Nie Gong was almost going crazy. Yes, he admitted that she was extremely beautiful.

Not only is she beautiful but she is also hot. She got all the men at the table drunk. But so what? He has to get back to work.

Leng Qi sat aside and listened, his lips twitching, and suddenly he said, "Next, let's invite our Miss Chen to perform for us. However, Miss Chen, can you tell me, are you going to dance for everyone, or sing a song for everyone, or..."

Chen Lina quit her job and went on stage.

The music ensemble of the Hongyan Song and Dance Troupe is a mixed Chinese and Western music ensemble, with both traditional plucked instruments and Western orchestral music. They often travel abroad with their superiors, so it can be said that they have seen all kinds of the world.

Seeing such a beautiful lady on stage, the orchestra's Lao Zhang asked, "Does this comrade want to dance or sing for us?"

Everyone has high hopes for beautiful women.

Chen Lina moved a chair over there and sat down. She took the playlist and looked at it for a long time before saying, "Give me the tune and the lyrics. I'll try to see if I can sing it."
