Among the four people, Gu Baoshan came from the countryside and had no one at home. Normally, he would be assigned a job back home, unless he had some outstanding qualities and was noticed by some unit.
However, during the four years in college, although Gu Baoshan was the president of the Student Union, there was nothing he did that could attract other people's attention.
As a result, just at the time of graduation, he suddenly had a breakthrough and joined the General Administration of Railways.
Students who graduate from Peking University are naturally not bad, but Gu Baoshan's final step of counterattack is definitely a legend.
"Baoshan is very busy. I contacted him a few days ago and he said he was preparing to go to the construction site. We will have fewer opportunities to meet in the future."
"We still have to go to the construction site?" Meng Wenbin was no longer envious. "That place is in the middle of nowhere. Going there is no different from being a concubine."
"You can't get in there either." Jiang Yihang said with a smile, "There will be many opportunities to get together in the future, don't worry about what's happening now."
Meng Wenbin nodded, and Hua Xiaoyu asked with a smile, "Yihang, you are still studying for a master's degree in school now, how do you feel?"
"It's okay. I'm still a student and I have to rely on my parents for support. It's not like you can control your own life."
"That's because you don't want to." Meng Wenbin patted his shoulder, "Okay, we'll go back to find you and reminisce about our campus life."
The three were talking behind, Jiang Zheng and Gao Jing were walking in front. By noon, the five of them had only walked halfway and were too tired to talk.
Meng Wenbin was the first to give up. "There are a lot of people having picnics over there. Let's take a rest there too."
"Then I'll go find a place." Gao Jing nodded and walked forward.
Meng Wenbin pushed Hua Xiaoyu beside him and said, "Go ahead."
It is no longer a secret that Hua Xiaoyu likes Gao Jing, and this mountain climbing trip was also an opportunity created by Jiang Yihang for the two of them.
Hua Xiaoyu smiled and said, "Why do you want me to go?"
"Why are you pretending to be confused? Can you hide your thoughts from others?" Meng Wenbin looked down on him. "This opportunity is rare, you must seize it."
Hua Xiaoyu didn't move. "Jiang Zheng, go over and help."
Jiang Zheng glanced at him and saw that Hua Xiaoyu was serious, so she nodded and went to chase Gao Jing.
Meng Wenbin glared at him, "What are you doing?"
Hua Xiaoyu said, "I want to ask what you two are doing. I used to have feelings for Gao Jing, but that was in the past, not now."
"What do you mean by before and now? How long has it been? Have you fallen in love with someone else at work?" Meng Wenbin asked in surprise.
"No." Hua Xiaoyu couldn't bring himself to tell what he had discovered, and the person behind her back was a girl. He said, "Anyway, I don't like her now, so don't try to match me up."
Jiang Yihang asked at this time, "Seriously?"
"Seriously."
Meng Wenbin was dumbfounded and asked Jiang Yihang, "Is he okay?"
"Since Xiaoyu has said so, let's just leave it at that. Don't mention it again, or Gao Jing will misunderstand." Jiang Yihang advised.
Meng Wenbin looked at the two of them, still couldn't figure it out, but didn't say anything more.
There are a lot of people having picnics. Those with fewer people will just find a clean stone, while those with more people will lay out a picnic mat.
Gao Jing and her group were a group of people, so they brought picnic mats. Diagonally above them were Ji Ke and Guan Mao.
Jiang Zheng followed behind and also noticed it when she arrived. She glanced at Gao Jing and saw that Gao Jing was preparing things seriously and was not looking over there, so she didn't know if she noticed anything.
Ji Ke went to see Ji Ling several times. The two sisters were admitted to the same university, so they naturally remembered Ji Ke.
When Jiang Yihang and the other two came over, only Jiang Yihang knew Ji Ke, while Meng Wenbin and Hua Xiaoyu did not know him.
After the group sat down and started talking, Ji Ling naturally came up in the topic.
"Only Gu Baoshan knows this." Meng Wenbin laughed. "By the way, didn't Xiaoyu say that Ji Ling called you?"
"It was Miao Man who called me." Hua Xiaoyu corrected him.
Meng Wenbin, "It was Miao Man who beat him. Didn't Ji Ling ask her to help beat him?"
"Okay, let's change the subject." Jiang Yihang looked up and saw Ji Ling's sister had turned her head to look at him. He reminded the two of them quietly, "That's Ji Ling's sister."
Hearing the name of Sister Ji Ling, they both looked up and followed Jiang Yihang's gaze to see someone, because the beautiful girl was looking back at them.
"The two sisters don't look alike?" Meng Wenbin lowered his voice.
Hua Xiaoyu was a little embarrassed. He looked away and said, "It's better not to talk about people behind their backs. It's not good if it gets out."
"We didn't say anything else." Meng Wenbin said this, but he didn't try to be stubborn.
Gao Jing had been looking at the scenery quietly without interrupting. Jiang Zheng was not a talkative person to begin with, so it was even less likely that she would say anything more.
"Know him?" Guan Mao's voice drew Ji Ke's attention back.
She shook her head awkwardly, "I don't know them, but they are talking about my sister."
Guan Mao smiled, "That should be your sister's friend, do you want to go over and say hello?"
Ji Ke hurriedly shook his head, "No need."
Guan Mao, "It's better not to go over. They were talking about your sister just now. If you go over now, everyone will be embarrassed."
As he spoke, he handed her a peeled orange and said, "Eat the fruit. After that, we'll continue to climb up. We can get down the mountain before dark. Otherwise, it's too late. If they tell your sister about your outing, you'll be scolded."
Ji Ke blushed, "No, they don't know me."
After explaining, I realized I had said the wrong thing, "My sister won't think too much of it."
Guan Mao laughed, "I'm just teasing you."
Ji Ke's face was flushed, just like the persimmons hanging on the branches in late autumn, so red that one can't take their eyes off it.
On Monday when she went to school, Ji Ling met Gao Jing in the dormitory corridor at noon, and Gao Jing called her.
"Ji Ling, wait a minute."
Ji Ling stopped and looked back at her.
Gao Jing took a few steps forward and lowered her voice, "We went hiking on Saturday, and I saw your sister went with a man. The man looked to be about 25 or 26 years old, not like a student."
"I know it's a bit presumptuous of me to tell you this. If it offends you, just blame me for being nosy."
Ji Ling said, "Thank you, I understand."
Gao Jing was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "Then I'll get busy first."
He nodded again and went back to the dormitory.
Jiang Zheng was reading a book. When she saw her come in, she looked up and asked, "Did you just tell Ji Ling?"
Gao Jing said as she made the bed, "I felt that the man looked like someone from society. If Ji Ling knew him, the girl would not be safe, so I said something to her."
"It's okay to talk about it. From what I observed that day, the two people didn't seem to be relatives." Jiang Zheng picked up the book again.
