Chapter 1238: When will we see each other again in this lingering longing?

"Not bad, you’re sort of a state-owned enterprise employee now."

"What state-owned enterprise employee, I’m just a drug seller, really."

"Medical representative?"

"Something like that, but to be precise, I sell medical equipment. Surprising, isn’t it?"

Jiang Chen indeed hadn’t anticipated this.

Who would have guessed that the girl who was so introverted and timid would go into sales?

But that’s life—always full of surprises.

"That’s a good job, though. Medical equipment can cost hundreds of thousands or even millions; the profit must be very high."

"First, you have to actually sell it."

Wu Yufei laughed bitterly: "Why would a hospital buy from you for no reason when there are so many companies in the market? Sometimes you might wait outside their office for an entire day and not even get to see the director."

"Aren’t you working for a national brand?"

"Do you have any idea how many subsidiaries there are like ours? More than a dozen. And that’s within a single national brand."

Jiang Chen fell silent, then softly added, "It seems every trade has its difficulties."

An ordinary person, especially a woman, struggling in this society definitely faces more than these hardships, but Wu Yufei did not continue on this topic.

"The pressure in East Sea must be even greater, right?"

She looked at Jiang Chen, but as soon as the words left her mouth, she realized.

"What do you think?"

Jiang Chen asked with a smile.

Wu Yufei laughed, but didn’t pursue the conversation further.

Ahead was Yangkou Park.

"Seems like there are no traffic police around," Wu Yufei remarked.

"Looks like I’m in luck."

A joke was on the tip of his tongue and Jiang Chen was about to politely ask if she wanted to sit in the park for a while when his phone rang.

Wu Yufei took out her phone from her bag, "It’s my boss."

Jiang Chen signaled for her to go ahead.

Wu Yufei stepped aside and answered the call.

"Manager Li."

"I’m around Yangkou."

"Now? But I just had lunch."

"...Alright then."

After hanging up the phone, Wu Yufei looked somewhat gloomy. She held her phone for a moment, then walked back and said, "I have something to attend to, I need to leave."

Jiang Chen nodded.

Wu Yufei seemed to want to say more, but then just pursed her lips and gave a smile. Her eyes seemed to convey a thousand words, yet all she said was,

"Then... see you next time."

"Take care on your way."

Jiang Chen said with a smile.

Wu Yufei nodded, turned, and hurried away. She didn’t go towards the subway station but hailed a taxi on the street instead.

With the beautiful classmate gone, Jiang Chen was not regretful. He pushed his bike around the park for a while and then returned to Kade Mansion.

He opened the garage and put away the bike.

Without a doubt, he certainly wouldn’t be riding it again.

After parking the bike and entering the luxury home he was staying at, a video call rang out.

Jiang Chen opened the fridge, took out a bottle of water, and at the same time fetched his phone, seeing it was Tong Dan.

"What can I do for you."

He answered.

Tong Dan’s face appeared on screen.

A beauty is a beauty.

Even through the raw camera lens, she shone effortlessly.

"What are you doing?"

"Drinking water."

Jiang Chen shook the bottle of mineral water towards the camera.

"Capitalist."

Seeing the packaging of the mineral water, Tong Dan made a jab.

Indeed.

A bottle of water costing hundreds of dollars, how could it not draw envy.

"Is there anything else? If not, I’m hanging up."

Jiang Chen was used to this girl’s attitude.

"What about your female classmate?"

"She’s gone."

"Playing it cool. She clearly went out to look for you just now."

"She had something and left early. You really think everyone’s mind is as complicated as yours, huh."

Jiang Chen defended himself without guilt.

"Where are you now?"

"Where else could I be, just resting at home."

"At the hotel?"

"Mhm."

Jiang Chen gave a noncommittal response.

"Move your camera away, let me see."

Jiang Chen was puzzled, "See what?"

"Feeling guilty?"

Tong Dan said, "I just talked to Fang Qing, she asked me to keep an eye on you."

"..."

Jiang Chen could only laugh helplessly, knowing well that she was talking nonsense. How could Fang Qing have such a character, and even if she were truly so, would she bother to trouble Tong Dan rather than just call him directly?

"Not showing me? Is it because your old classmate is still there? Afraid I’d see?"

Tired of the banter, Jiang Chen just swiveled the camera around.

"See that? Anyone here?"

"You’re not in a hotel, are you?"

Tong Dan changed the subject.

"I’m in someone else’s house; is there still something you need?"

Jiang Chen maintained basic politeness.

"So luxurious, it’s a villa, huh."

"I’m hanging up."

Jiang Chen intended to end the video call.

"Jiang Chen, are you really a friend? Do you have the heart to let me wander the streets alone?"

Wandering the streets?

"Did you all finish eating?"

"Finished ages ago. They said they’re going to a bar, but I didn’t go."

"Why didn’t you let Chi Jin take you home?"

"I’m not familiar with him."

As she spoke, Tong Dan deliberately panned the camera, showing she was indeed alone by the roadside.

"Jiang Chen, you live nearby, right?"

Jiang Chen could obviously hear the implication in her words and immediately said: "Then what are you waiting for? Go back to the hotel and rest."

"A decent hotel nearby would cost at least a few hundred; I’m on a shift exchange with a colleague this trip to River City, and our meals and accommodations aren’t reimbursable."

"You, as a flight attendant, are still short of that little money?" Jiang Chen laughed.

"You think everyone is a capitalist like you? I earn my money through hard work, plus being frugal is a traditional virtue. Do you know how much oil or how much rice I can buy with those few hundred yuan?"

"All I know is that this isn’t my house, so I can’t help you."

"So heartless, huh?"

Tong Dan played her trump card, "Then I’ll just tell Fang Qing that you took your female classmate to get a room."

"..."

Jiang Chen was left speechless, wanting to laugh but unable to.

"To help me out is just a simple gesture for you, do you really not have a bit of sympathy?"

There it is.

Putting on a weak act again.

In the end, Jiang Chen, being a man of honor, sent an address her way.

"Kai Tak Mansion, tsk tsk."

Tong Dan, also from Sha City, was naturally well-informed about the few wealthy districts in the provincial River City.

"I’ll walk over."

She still had basic manners, not asking Jiang Chen to pick her up. After more than twenty minutes, Jiang Chen received a call from property management, and security brought her in.

"That female classmate of yours really isn’t here?"

Tong Dan casually glanced around with nonchalance, not too surprised, after all, she had seen her fair share of the world.

Jiang Chen acted as if he did not hear, not responding.

"Whose house is this? It can’t be that Mr. Ren’s from earlier, right?"

"Are you from the neighborhood committee?"

Jiang Chen said, "There are two rooms on the first floor, pick whichever you like."

After speaking, he walked towards the elevator.

That’s right.

This mansion has a private elevator.

"Aren’t the rooms on the first floor maid’s quarters?"

Tong Dan called out.

Jiang Chen acted as if he did not hear, stepping into the elevator.

Back in his room, Jiang Chen picked up his phone and after some thought, made a video call to Fang Qing.

He definitely couldn’t let Tong Dan’s nonsense tarnish his reputation, so he proactively explained her twisting of the truth.

"I don’t mind, but her spouting nonsense like that, if it gets out, how adversely affected will others be?"

"She was just kidding."

Fang Qing was still able to discern right from wrong and was not misled by Tong Dan, "She didn’t say that in front of other people, did she?"

"No, she didn’t."

Jiang Chen stated impartially, "If it weren’t for your sake, I wouldn’t have bothered with her at all today."

Perhaps finding it amusing, Fang Qing showed a smile, "You should have let her sleep on the streets."

"Then she would have gone to annoy you to death."

Jiang Chen laughed.

The conversation then fell silent for a while.

"...Why didn’t you come to the get-together today? It’s been so many years since everyone saw each other."

Jiang Chen asked gently, looking at the gentle face on the phone screen.

"You guys were lively enough today. If I went, how could it have stayed calm?"

Jiang Chen smiled wryly.

"Besides, some people, are better off remaining in memories, perhaps it’s better not to meet."

Jiang Chen reflected thoughtfully, feeling a sense of resonance.

Right.

Just like many old classmates today.

To a greater or lesser extent, they’ve all become somewhat mercenary, no longer as pure as they once were.

If you never see them, you can continue to preserve those beautiful memories.

"Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen! Jiang Chen..."

Suddenly.

A shouting voice came from outside.

Jiang Chen realized he hadn’t closed the door properly.

"Did you hear that?" he said to the phone.

Fang Qing in the screen laughed.

With a sense of resignation, Jiang Chen got up while holding the phone, looking down from above.

"What’s the matter?"

On the first floor.

Tong Dan looked up.

"Why is there no water?!"
