Chapter 432 The Bitterness of Old Classmates

The location of the class reunion was arranged in the lobby on the third floor of the hotel. Xiao Minglang chatted with Fang Bai for a while, and asked Fang Bai to wait in the lobby on the third floor first, while he and his girlfriend Zhao Miaomiao waited for the other students at the hotel entrance.

There are six dining tables in the lobby on the third floor, and each dining table can seat fifteen people. Even if all the students in Fang Bai's class come, they can still sit.

When Fang Bai came to the lobby on the third floor, there were already 20 to 30 students who had arrived before him, standing or sitting, chatting in twos and threes.

When I was in medical school, the only ones who could hang out with Fang Bai were Xiao Minglang and Xiao Minglang, except for Zhou Dabai, who was in the next class. Most of the students didn't even have a word with Fang Bai.

Therefore, when Fang Bai walked into the hall, some students would smile and nod to him, while some would just give him a disdainful glance, and then turn their heads to chat with other students.

Fang Bai didn't care about it either. This kind of class reunion is actually where old classmates meet to chat, have a meal together, and then go their separate ways. I don't know when we will meet again. There is no need to haggle over every little thing.

"Fang Bai, here!"

A tall, thin man wearing glasses who was sitting at the dining table in the northwest corner of the hall saw Fang Bai, stood up and waved vigorously.

"Bamboo pole!"

When Fang Bai saw the tall and thin man, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and then he walked over.

"Bamboo pole" is not the tall and thin man's name, but just his nickname because of his thin body.

"Bamboo Pole"'s real name is Hong Dabao. When he was studying in the medical school, he sat in the front row of Fang Bai, and his academic performance was also a mess.

The same situation and similar personalities made Hong Dabao and Fang Bai "cherish each other" and became friends at that time. It can be said that in the entire medical school, except for Zhou Dabai, Hong Dabao was the most able to talk to Fang Bai.

And because of Fang Bai's relationship, Hong Dabao and Zhou Dabai also became friends.

Hong Dabao's father died of illness two years ago, and he lives with his mother. His family background is very average, not much better than Fang Bai's family before Duoshe was reborn.

And looking at his current attire, compared with other well-dressed classmates, it is much shabby. Obviously, the family's financial situation has not changed much.

Fang Bai walked to the dining table where Hong Dabao was, and the two classmates who used to "cherish each other" looked at each other and looked at each other.

"Fang Bai, it seems that you have been doing well recently! You won't look down on me like other students, will you?"

Hong Dabao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

He could tell that although Fang Bai was not wearing a famous brand worth tens of thousands of dollars, it was definitely worth much more than his own. Presumably, he had a different encounter recently.

"Dabao, am I that kind of person? Whether I'm good or not, we are good classmates and friends! Come, let's sit down and talk!"

Fang Bai greeted Hong Dabao to sit down together. Seeing that there were only two of them at the dining table, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It seems that it's the same as when we were studying in medical school. The students are a little alienated from us!"

"In the past, we thought we were not good at studying, so we deliberately distanced ourselves from each other; now...heh, maybe it's because we don't get along well, so we're afraid of bad luck!"

Hong Dabao smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "It's fine just the two of us, lest some students brag about themselves during the meal and get annoyed!"

Fang Bai said: "Whoever likes to show off should show off, let's just be ourselves!"

Hong Dabao sighed, filled Fang Bai's and his own glasses with water, then looked out the window, dazed.

"Dabao, you don't seem to be in a good mood! What happened?"

Fang Bai glanced at Hong Dabao, seeing the gloom between his brows, and asked casually.

"I……"

Hong Dabao hesitated for a moment, forced a smile, shook his head and said, "It's nothing..."

Fang Bai said sternly: "Forget about privacy matters, if it's other matters, you might as well talk about it. The three cobblers are better than Zhuge Liang, and we can figure out a solution together!"

"Recently, I did some business. I thought I could make a fortune, but I didn't expect to be tricked, and all the money was lost! Unlucky! Sigh..."

Hong Dabao heaved a long sigh, with a gloomy expression on his face.

After a pause, he said again: "You know, our family's conditions are not very good. My mother saved up the money for my business. After the business lost, although my mother didn't blame me , but I can see that she is very sad... very sad..."

Speaking of this, Hong Dabao's eyes turned red, he habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and motioned Fang Bai to smoke one.

Fang Bai waved his hands and said, "I don't smoke. How much did you invest in the business?"

"One hundred thousand!"

Hong Dabao lit a cigarette and took a few puffs. Amidst the smoke, he said in a low voice, slightly choked with sobs: "My mother has worked so hard for twenty years to save this much money. I lost everything overnight...Fang Bai, do you think I'm a waste!"

"you are not!"

Fang Bai shook his head, and said: "I understand, your original intention is to make some money, improve the conditions at home, and let you and your mother live a good life."

Hong Dabao rubbed his sore nose, smiled wryly and said, "Old classmate, you still understand me!"

"What business do you do?"

Fang Bai asked casually.

"Damn it, I was tricked this time!"

As soon as Fang Bai mentioned this, Hong Dabao got angry and said bitterly: "Last Monday, a friend of mine who had a good relationship found me and said that he knew the sales manager of the 'Beauty Company' and could Get a batch of products from the 'beauty company' at the lowest price, let me spend a sum of money, and the two of you will buy low and sell high..."

"I thought to myself that the beauty products of 'Beauty Face Company' are very popular now, and if they sell them like this, they must be able to make a steady profit without losing money. At that time, my head was hot, so I took 100,000 yuan to that friend...my Like me, my friend was cheated by someone, and the ones I bought were a batch of fakes. Later, the goods were seized and confiscated by the relevant department, and we were fined a sum of money..."

"There are actually fake products from 'Beauty Company'?"

Fang Bai asked with a frown.

Hong Dabao nodded and said, "Not only are there, but there are many more! Judging from the outer packaging alone, it is impossible to tell the real from the fake!"

Fang Bai couldn't help but smile wryly when he heard this, knowing that because the "Beauty Company"'s products were in short supply, all kinds of counterfeit and shoddy products came into being, which not only disrupted the market, but also caused considerable losses to the "Beauty Company".

In fact, "beauty companies" have also used various means to defend their rights, but those counterfeit and shoddy products fall down one after another, and there will be another wave, which is repeatedly banned, which is a headache.

While the two were talking, many students arrived one after another, but Fang Bai and Hong Dabao were still the only two at the table.
