Chapter 29
Seeing that it was about time, Su Yun rode the electric scooter to a hotpot restaurant near the school.
Xu Jiajia said that only by eating hotpot could one have the enthusiasm of meeting an old friend after a long time, so she booked a private room here.
Su Yun put his hands in his pockets and arrived at the hotpot restaurant.
“Handsome, how many? Do you have a reservation?”
Su Yun glanced at the enthusiastic waiter. She was a slightly inexperienced girl.
Su Yun could roughly determine that the other party was a junior who worked here part-time during her free time. Hence, he smiled and said, “Ms. Xu, No. 666.”
“Oh, it’s that beautiful senior. You’re also a senior brother from Hibiscus University, right?”
It had been a long time since anyone called him senior. Su Yun had an inexplicable feeling in his heart. He finally understood why Xu Jiajia had chosen this place.
It was not only because this place was close to the school. In the past, when there were gatherings, they would come here to eat. While savoring the taste of the school, they could also see these juniors who had their own figures.
Before he even started tasting the hotpot, he had already tasted the taste of youth.
Su Yun chuckled and nodded. “Yes.”
Immediately, the junior smiled and led the way for Su Yun.
Su Yun raised his hand to stop her. “There’s no need to trouble you, junior sister. I’m familiar with this restaurant. Go ahead.”
“Alright, I wish you all a bright future!”
Su Yun smiled and nodded in reply before walking towards the private room.
It had to be said that the junior sister was quite eloquent. Perhaps it was because he was familiar with the scene or because he had many beautiful memories here, Su Yun subconsciously relaxed a lot.
The moment Su Yun opened the door, he saw familiar faces.
“Su Yun! Come, come, take a seat quickly.”
“You’re finally here. Xu Jiajia told us that she met you at school, but we didn’t believe her!”
“Today, we have to use the glory of the class belle to reminisce about the past.”
Faced with the enthusiastic greetings of his classmates, Su Yun smiled and nodded in response.
Then, Big Head Yang, who was wearing a suit, pulled out the chair beside him and gestured to Su Yun.
When they were in school, the two of them had a good relationship. Now that they had yet to graduate, they were naturally not distant.
Su Yun did not stand on ceremony. They had been classmates for more than three years.
After Su Yun sat down, he carefully glanced at all the students present.
There were a total of nine people, five men and four women. All of their faces were brimming with joy, except for the main character of the day.
Su Yun glanced at his phone and slowly said, “I’m not late, am I? Where’s our host today?”
Big Head Yang took off his suit jacket and hung it aside. “You came at the right time. The class belle just went to answer the phone.”
“Oh? Is anyone else coming?”
“I don’t think so. Other than you, everyone else in the group has made it clear that they can’t come. After all, our major requires us to go to some first-tier cities along the coast in order to develop well. Most of them have left Hibiscus City.”
A short-haired girl added, “I think it was Xu Jiajia’s father who called. Anyway, there’s still a while before the dishes are served. Let’s chat.”
“Yes, yes, yes. This can be considered the first small gathering of our classmates after the graduation gathering.”
The short girl’s gaze first landed on Big Head Yang, who was the only one wearing a suit. “Big Head Yang, look at how you’re dressed. It seems like you’ve found a good job?”
Big Head Yang was not angry. He knew that everyone was just teasing him.
Hence, he smiled and said, “You don’t say. My job is considered a professional match.”
Everyone’s interest was piqued by Big Head Yang’s words.
They were all students in international finance and securities. Anyone who could do a matching major was a good person in the financial circle.
When Big Head Yang saw everyone’s eager gazes, he puffed out his chest proudly and said, “I’m now the manager of one of the top 500 companies in the world!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and praised Big Head Yang.
“Yo, I didn’t expect you to be able to get such a high position with your lousy grades. Did you get in through the back door?”
“Exactly. I see your head is getting bigger and bigger. You must have had a lot of socializing.”
“That’s right. Huang Li’s stomach isn’t even as big as yours when she went home for pregnancy confinement.”
A female classmate pulled out her classmate, Huang Li, who had left school early to give birth. She compared Big Head Yang’s stomach to the pregnant woman’s.
For a moment, everyone burst into laughter.
The atmosphere gradually heated up amidst this teasing.
—Creak.
At this moment, the door of the private room was pushed open. Xu Jiajia, who was wearing a floral dress, smiled and waved her hand. “What interesting things are you talking about? You didn’t even wait for me.”
“Hahahaha, it’s nothing. I just said that Big Head Yang’s stomach is getting bigger and bigger. He’s about to give birth.”
“Screw you. This is what I need for my job. That way, I can give people a stable and reliable professional image. A skinny person like you looks like a sneaky person.”
“Come, come, come. Jiajia, tell me. Big Head Yang said that he’s the manager of one of the top 500 companies in the world. I don’t believe him.”
Xu Jiajia glanced at Big Head Yang, who was beside Su Yun, and then looked at everyone. She said very seriously, “That’s right. He’s indeed the manager of a top 500 company!”
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and looked at Big Head Yang in disbelief.
Before Big Head Yang could shake his head smugly,
Xu Jiajia’s next sentence made his face turn red.
“Yes, the account manager of the life insurance company. How can he not be considered the manager of one of the top 500 companies in the world!”
—Boom!
Big Head Yang instantly felt that his bragging had been exposed. His face was as red as pig liver.
“Hahahahahahaha…”
Immediately, everyone burst into laughter again.
However, when they talked about work, everyone looked at Su Yun.
Su Yun did not even have time to read the group messages. Everyone was very curious about what he was doing.
Xu Jiajia called Su Yun twice last night, but Su Yun did not pick up either.
She was the most experienced, so she hurriedly asked,
“Su Yun, you always say that you’re busy. You don’t even have time to reply to messages on the phone. What exactly are you doing?”
“That’s right. Su Yun, we’re all very curious.”
Faced with the students’ questions, Su Yun was about to speak.
Big Head Yang, who had just been humiliated, suddenly looked up and said loudly,
“I know!”
“What? You know?”
Everyone was shocked by Big Head Yang’s sudden actions and turned to look.
Big Head Yang cleared his throat and looked at Su Yun with ill intentions.
Su Yun was also puzzled. What was this clown Big Head Yang up to?
Seeing that the atmosphere was in place and the students’ appetites were hooked by him, he coughed lightly.
He pretended to be profound and said, “When I saw Su Yun at school this afternoon, I felt that he looked very familiar. At that time, I thought for a long time but couldn’t remember…”
