Chapter 1221: 841 Class Reunion (Second Update, Request for Monthly Tickets!)

Lanting Chu Yun.

A high-end business club.

Just by the name, you can tell it’s not the run-of-the-mill venue, and those who come here are typically cultured patrons, offering a variety of facilities to drink tea, wine, dine and even sing.

"Yeah, can you believe it? Yesterday, as Gao Jianqiang and I were strolling in the park, we bumped into Jiang Chen!"

Xie Wendong, his spit flying as he spoke animatedly, took this class reunion very seriously, which was evident from his dressing.

He must have pulled out his best suit from the back of his wardrobe, but due to a serious lapse in maintaining his figure, it looked quite snug on him. His shoes seemed to be polished, and his hair was styled maturely.

"Just wait till you see him, he’s completely transformed from before. One word, handsome!"

Not everyone had arrived yet.

So far, only six or seven had arrived, but the total expected today was around twenty to thirty.

After all these years, with everyone scattered all over, gathering this many people was already quite an achievement.

"Xie Wendong, I can’t agree with you on that, Jiang Chen was quite handsome in high school too."

The speaker was a woman, average in looks, a classmate of both Xie Wendong and Jiang Chen, named Ouyang Qing. After all, she was from a science class, where girls were rare, so one couldn’t be too picky about their looks.

As a classmate, only Ouyang Qing had the right to make such a comment, "In high school, Jiang Chen was already the class idol."

"That’s not what I meant."

For today’s reunion, everyone had made an effort to dress up, as vanity is universal—everyone wants to show their best selves to their old classmates.

A formally dressed Xie Wendong said, "Jiang Chen was handsome back then, but it’s nothing compared to now. It’s a kind of feeling..."

He wasn’t quite sure how to describe it.

"Anyway, when he arrives later, you’ll know."

"Are you sure Jiang Chen will really come?"

Since it was still early, people were arriving one after another, and the early arrivals were chatting.

"Jiang Chen used to be quite... withdrawn, not much into mingling. We were classmates for three years, and I probably didn’t speak more than ten sentences with him."

Ouyang Qing said.

As most in the science class were boys, the fact that she still remembered Jiang Chen’s personality after so long probably meant it was true that he was the class idol.

"That was then, now he’s much more outgoing. You can ask Gao Jianqiang if you don’t believe me."

Gao Jianqiang, cracking sunflower seeds, nodded in agreement.

"Didn’t he go to university in East Sea? How come he’s back?"

"On a business trip."

"What does he do now?"

"Oh Recorder, why are you so interested in Jiang Chen? Don’t tell me you’ve been harboring a crush all this time?"

Xie Wendong asked seriously.

No longer children, there’s no need to be shy over such jokes, Ouyang Qing, once the class monitor, boldly said, "It’s not a crush, but who doesn’t like a handsome guy? Didn’t all the girls in our class have a soft spot for Jiang Chen?"

Luckily, Jiang Chen hadn’t arrived yet, otherwise, he would surely be proud.

Though his parents didn’t provide a luxurious life, they gave him good looks. Additionally, after his mother passed away in high school, facing a major change at home, he had an epiphany. He studied diligently, aspiring to learn from saints and sages, which made him the very image of a stoic dream guy in the girls’ eyes.

"Since all of you had a soft spot for Jiang Chen, how come none of you made a move?"

Xie Wendong asked curiously.

In those high school days, although early dating was officially not allowed, rules were just rules.

At that age, when feelings begin to bud, countless couples dated in secret.

"That’s a question for Gao Jianqiang then. With the genius girl from their class around, who would dare make a move?"

Xie Wendong looked at Gao Jianqiang eating sunflower seeds and had a sudden realization.

He had almost overlooked it.

Jiang Chen’s childhood friend Qing Mei was the dream girl of countless boys at Sha City High School. Not to mention her looks, the key was her academic performance.

Every exam, she was definitely in the top twenty of the grade, a competitor who left him far behind.

Fang Qing, that girl, is like the unforgettable silhouette in every boy’s memory from youth novels.

Regrettably, or perhaps fortunately.

Throughout their high school career, just like Jiang Chen, this pair of childhood friends seemed to have no interest in romance at all.

"Jianqiang, is Fang Qing coming today?"

A boy asked.

Compared to Jiang Chen, Fang Qing, who is more renowned and well-spoken of in East Sea University, undoubtedly receives more attention.

Gao Jianqiang, who was in the same class as Fang Qing, shook his head, "No."

"Did you ask her?"

The guy wouldn’t give up.

Forget having any intentions, just seeing the high school ’dream girl’ would be enough to satisfy anyone.

"I didn’t ask, Tong Dan did."

"That Fang Qing got into the School of Political Science and Law, and remember the recent case where the street vendor stabbed the urban management officer? Did you follow that? It was Fang Qing who defended the case. She’s now quite famous in the legal field, dealing with high-profile people. Why would she waste her time with us?"

Another jerk chimed in.

"I know Fang Qing well, she’s not that kind of person."

Xie Wendong helped clarify: "She must be busy in Capital City, she doesn’t have the time."

Because of Jiang Chen, he actually had quite a lot of interactions with Fang Qing.

Like many times when Fang Qing helped buy breakfast, she asked him to pass it to Jiang Chen.

"Hey ’Brother East’, isn’t your suit two sizes too small? Doesn’t it feel tight?"

A jerk teased.

Xie Wendong felt embarrassed, already regretting it.

This suit was the one he bought when he was job hunting after graduation, costing him a few thousand, but now it’s been just about a year, and perhaps due to a relatively relaxed job, he had gained some weight around the middle.

He had thought about getting a custom suit made beforehand, but spending a few thousand just to wear it to a reunion somehow felt too painful.

After all, without various benefits and subsidies, his current monthly salary in River City is just under ten thousand. To maintain appearances just this once would cost him a month’s salary.

Actually, his salary level is already considered high in River City where the average monthly income is a bit over four thousand.

Of course, this stands true among his peers as well.

"East was also a talent of our Sha City High School, just now he’s gotten a bit chubbier that’s all."

Gao Jianqiang defended him, "You can unbutton your jacket."

Xie Wendong smiled gratefully and really did unbutton his coat, revealing an even tighter shirt underneath.

Ouyang Qing, his classmate, saw this and silently shook her head.

Gao Jianqiang might seem close with Xie Wendong, but deep down, he really doesn’t hold Xie Wendong in high regard, it’s clear from his gaze.

But this class’s top student was gifted in studies, but when it came to social situations, he was somewhat lacking.

Of course.

Ouyang Qing wouldn’t offend people just because; she continued to drink her juice unaffectedly.
