Chapter 35 Interlude
Lin Kun, the organizer of the class reunion, arrived late, wearing a jacket that looked like an old cadre.
Lin Kun clasped his hands together and said, "I'm sorry, old classmates, I'm late."
A girl who was familiar with him laughed and said, "What old classmates? We are still young."
If you don’t know, you would think they have graduated for more than ten years.
Lin Kun smiled and said, "Yes, yes, young students, please take a seat. The dishes have been ordered in advance."
Lin Miao leaned close to Zhou Qingti's ear and said, "I was right when I said he was arrogant and had a strong official aura."
About twenty people sat at a large table. Ke Yu sat on Zhou Qingti's right because Lin Kun said that it would be better for men and women to sit apart instead of sitting in groups like they did in school.
Zhou Qingti didn't care, as long as Lin Miao sat next to her.
Alcohol is indispensable at a party, and in order to show off, people definitely don’t drink beer.
Tong Xin took the drink menu and said, "Classmates, drink as much as you want. My husband said the more you drink, the lower the discount."
Lin Kun took the wine list from her and said, "Let's order red wine." Then he placed an order with the waiter for eight bottles of red wine.
By the time he sobered up, the food was served.
Lin Miao took a sip and complained quietly, "It's really hard to drink."
The wine was not smooth enough to drink. Zhou Qingti had become picky about food because of Lu Yanzhi. She didn't want to drink it after taking one sip.
After a few drinks, the atmosphere became lively and several boys started to urge others to drink.
Commonly known as "drinking in circles", it means drinking one by one. When it came to Zhou Qingti, he saw that she only took a small sip and looked a little unhappy.
"I just sprayed it and touched my lips. How disrespectful!"
Ke Yu spoke up to smooth things over: "Maybe she can't drink well, so don't force it."
The man smiled and said, "That speaks for her now. Ke Yu, are you attracted to her? No wonder, Zhou Qingti is getting more and more beautiful. If I were single, I would pursue her too."
Another man sneered, "You? Don't forget that Lin Xiye pursued her for over a year."
What this meant was that those without money were not worthy of pursuing Zhou Qingti. The sarcastic tone made Lin Miao feel uncomfortable.
Before Lin Miao could curse, a girl interrupted: "Then why did Lin Xiye cheat? Zhou Qingti is rich and beautiful."
The man who was toasting chuckled and said, "Maybe it's not appropriate in that aspect, or maybe this beautiful woman doesn't understand romance. Otherwise, she would still be kicked out by men just for her pretty face."
Lin Miao couldn't stand the blatant dirty joke and shouted at him, "Watch your mouth."
The man still pretended to be innocent: "I said what I said."
Zhou Qingti was also angry, but she just smiled slightly and poured the wine in the glass into the garbage bone dish. "People like you are not even worthy of drinking with me."
After saying that, he stretched out his hand to call the waiter to change a set of tableware. Lin Miao watched Zhou Qingti's series of operations from the side and thought she was so cool.
The man felt insulted and stood up angrily, pointing at Zhou Qingti and cursing, "What qualifications do you have to talk to me like that? You think you're so great driving a Porsche? Who knows where that car came from? If you think you're superior, don't come to the class reunion."
Seeing him getting emotional, others quickly pulled him back and said, "We're old classmates, why are you talking so harshly?"
The scene was a little chaotic for a while. Based on the principle that harmony brings wealth, everyone kept persuading the man not to be angry.
Zhou Qingti was not a pushover when she was in college, and now that she knows Lu Yanzhi, she really wants to take advantage of the situation.
"I talk to you like this because I look down on you. You see, I don't talk to other people like this."
Zhou Qingti said these words calmly, which broke his defense the most. The anger that had been suppressed by others suddenly flared up again.
"You, a woman who relies on her face to feed men, have the nerve to talk to me like this? You really think I don't hit women, right?"
After Zhou Qingti and Lin Xiye got together, she opened a dessert shop. Many people thought that it was Lin Xiye who gave her the money.
The man casually smashed his tableware, making a loud clanging sound.
Zhou Qingti was neither angry nor afraid when he saw how furious he was. With so many people around, they would definitely stop him.
Zhou Qingti pulled the corner of his mouth and laughed sarcastically: "Could it be that you wanted to live a life of luxury but couldn't get it, so you came to me to vent your anger? Then I advise you to reincarnate, because you have no chance in this life."
Zhou Qingti knew very well that self-proof was the stupidest thing to do, just like Liuzi in Let the Bullets Fly who cut open his stomach to prove how many bowls of noodles he had eaten.
Therefore, the most effective way to break down the other person when arguing with him is to shift the conflict to him.
Many women are too embarrassed to defend themselves in order to maintain their image.
I am full of fear and anxiety about using words to fight back against men. I am worried that others will have a bad impression of me and that others will dislike me.
So they are careful to maintain their dignity and will not lose face even if they are offended.
But Zhou Qingti will no longer tolerate their stupidity and arrogance, nor will he think that talking freely is exclusive to men.
Speaking aggressively is not a bad thing.
Everyone at the table was stunned, even the man was stunned. They all knew that Zhou Qingti was not easy to mess with, but they didn't expect her to be so tough and unreasonable.
The waiter outside the door heard the noise and pushed the door open. He quietly asked the waiter at the table what happened. After briefly understanding the situation, he immediately called security on the pager.
The man also realized how much he had been insulted. He pushed away the person who was pulling him and pulled out a chair to cause trouble for Zhou Qingti.
If the hotel chair hadn't been so heavy, he might have thrown it at me.
The scene was in chaos, and the timid girls were so scared that they hid in the corner.
Lin Miao was also afraid, but she still reached out to protect Zhou Qingti behind her. Zhou Qingti patted her arm to reassure her.
Zhou Qingti still had a mocking smile on his face, and he said hurtful words: "Why are you coming to a class reunion when you can't stand seeing others doing well? If you are so dark and speculating about others in your heart, be careful that you will be reincarnated as a cockroach in your next life."
Ke Yu and several other men stepped forward to hold him back: "We're old classmates, why are we fighting?"
Lin Kun advised her: "Zhou Qingti, please say less."
Soon, hotel security arrived, and two burly men carried the crazy man out.
Lin Kun stepped forward to stop them: "Hey, what's going on? We are just a few old classmates who had some unpleasantness. Why are you kicking people out?
"It's just a joke between classmates, don't take it seriously." At this time everyone came out to persuade them to stop fighting.
Zhou Qingti sneered: "I don't think it's funny."
A joke that the person involved doesn't find funny is not a joke.
Seeing the man who looked like the security captain pushing Lin Kun away, he said, "Miss Zhou is a distinguished guest of our hotel. Don't blame us for being rude to her. He has been blacklisted by Yunqi."
These words shocked everyone present and they all looked at Zhou Qingti.
The distinguished guest, Ms. Zhou, was also confused. What was going on? Was this her first time at the Yunqi Hotel?
The mad man had been dragged out, the box door was closed, and the man's voice of dissatisfaction became smaller and smaller until it could no longer be heard.
The waiter smiled at them and said, "Everyone may continue with your meal. I'll have someone bring up two bottles of Italian Valdicava Our Lady of the Sword-bearing Angel Reserve dry red wine later to calm Miss Zhou down."
Everyone looked at Zhou Qingti. Zhou Qingti was also confused, but she couldn't ask the waiter on the spot why she was a VIP guest.
She had a gentle smile on her face, completely different from the way she had mocked her classmates just now. "Okay, thank you."
The farce came to an end, and everyone sat down to drink and chat. After all, he was just a college classmate they were not very familiar with, so they could just kick him out and not let him delay their meals.
But everyone was a little absent-minded, and their eyes unconsciously glanced at Zhou Qingti.
Didn't she say she runs a small dessert shop? How could she be Yunqi's distinguished guest?
Although the Yunqi Hotel is only a three-and-a-half-star hotel, it is an old national chain hotel, and everyone is curious about Zhou Qingti's identity.
When asked about this, Tong Xin said, "I don't know either. I'm also very curious and have already sent a WeChat message to ask my husband."
