Chapter 202: The Old Classmate Who Is the Focus of Everyone's Attention!

The one who came forward to greet was a beautiful young woman in a gorgeous dress, about 25 years old, about the same age as Lan Xin, but she exuded a canary charm that made the man unable to help but look at her sideways.

Judging from her warm attitude towards Lan Xin, she must be an old classmate who often met and dealt with each other after graduation. But Xiao Zheng couldn't remember who this woman was, and what contact he had had in high school.

However, these are not important. The important thing is that Lan Xin's dress is not outstanding, just very ordinary clothes. Even if she walks on the street, she may not attract attention. What's more, in such an occasion where everyone competes for beauty?

It is obvious that the woman took the initiative to greet and responded with a warm attitude, not because Lan Xin was dressed beautifully, but because she had a very good status and job in the eyes of everyone.

The second boss of Xin Ao, this is indeed an identity that deserves attention in any occasion.

Just when this canary, who was full of the charm that made men daydream, came forward to greet, the old classmates nearby noticed the shining Lan Xin, and greeted her. The lively conversation actually drove Xiao Zheng, who was standing next to Lan Xin, out of the center of the crowd and completely marginalized him.

Lan Xin was a very talkative and docile woman. Although she was anxious about Xiao Zheng, who was marginalized, and wanted to pull her boyfriend back to the center of the crowd, she was embarrassed to refuse the enthusiasm of her old classmates because of her face. She just smiled and perfunctorily looked for Xiao Zheng's figure anxiously.

Xiao Zheng knew Lan Xin's character and knew that she would definitely consider her mood at this moment. He couldn't help but cast a comforting look at her outside the crowd, indicating that he was fine. Then, Xiao Zheng slowly lit a cigarette and observed this group of old classmates who hadn't seen each other for many years and couldn't find a few familiar faces.

There were nearly fifty men and women present, many of whom came in pairs. Even the few who came alone showed a lonely and arrogant look on their faces, as if for them, being single was just a life attitude, not a lack of companions of the opposite sex.

According to the on-site analysis, there were nearly 30 old classmates present, and nearly 20 of them brought their partners. Most of them were unfamiliar to Xiao Zheng, and the few who had some impression were also distinguished by vague appearance, and could not match the names in his mind one to one. After watching for a while, Xiao Zheng was a little tired. He took a glass of red wine and stood by the window to drink red wine in the cold wind, away from the bustling gathering center.

Xiao Zheng did not feel any bitterness or unwillingness about Lan Xin's popularity. On the contrary, he was very happy that Lan Xin had such a high status in the circle of classmates. And for those old classmates who were obviously suspected of trying to please Lan Xin, Xiao Zheng was not disgusted. People have the instinct to seek benefits and avoid harm. It is something that everyone will subconsciously do to contact and communicate more with classmates at the top of the food chain. It is not uncommon.

"Xiao Zheng?"

Suddenly, a shout mixed with surprise came from not far away. Standing on the balcony and feeling the cold wind, Xiao Zheng turned his head slightly and saw a young woman in an evening dress holding a glass of red wine looking at him, with a hint of shock in her eyes.

Like most of the women present, she was about 25 or 26 years old. Her facial features were relatively delicate, and she exuded a sense of vicissitudes that was inconsistent with her peers. There was also a hint of melancholy in her black and white eyes. It seemed that she had experienced many things that her peers had not experienced, and she was a woman with a story.

When Xiao Zheng saw this woman, a face full of spirits emerged in his mind.

He was somewhat relieved because among so many old classmates, he finally found a woman whose name and appearance could be matched.

Zhang Lan. Zhang Dabanzhang. A woman who was always loved by teachers in high school and participated in various large-scale campus activities. A female academic bully in the eyes of students and a proud daughter of heaven in the eyes of teachers.

Her appearance was actually not outstanding. Except for her delicate facial features, neither her figure nor her skin color could catch the eyes of Xiao Zhengfa, who had strict aesthetic standards. But Xiao Zheng could recognize her at a glance, because Zhang Lan was once the class monitor, and Xiao Zheng was a bad student who was a headache for all the class cadres, including the teacher.

Of course, it was also because Xiao Zheng and Zhang Lan had always been the seed players competing for the first place in the grade during their three years in high school. It was hard for Xiao Zheng to forget such a classmate.

The same is true for Zhang Lan.

In fact, when Xiao Zheng came in, he noticed Zhang Lan surrounded by the crowd. However, because of his poor vision, he could not see Zhang Lan's appearance clearly, so he missed the opportunity to greet this old classmate. At this moment, when Zhang Lan, who was a little breathless due to the siege, found an opportunity to come out for a breath, he accidentally met Xiao Zheng.

"Class monitor Zhang?" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively. With a smile on his face.

"It's really you." Zhang Lan walked slowly, with a look of disbelief on his face, and asked curiously. "Where have you been all these years? Why have I never seen you at a class reunion?"

"Messing around." Xiao Zheng was unwilling to explain more, and there was really no way to explain his experience over the years, so he just played Tai Chi and joked. "Class monitor is indeed a celebrity in his school days. Even after entering the society, he is still very successful. It is really enviable."

"In terms of celebrities, among all the graduates of Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School, how many dare to be compared with you, Little Overlord?" Zhang Lan smiled and said sincerely. "If you hadn't dropped out before the college entrance examination, I'm afraid you would have won the first place in the college entrance examination of Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School."

Xiao Zheng smiled and said: "Listen to the tone of the monitor, you easily won the top spot in the college entrance examination in our session?"

"Keep a low profile, all the old classmates are here." Zhang Lan smiled slightly and said slightly jokingly.

Xiao Zheng nodded and changed the topic: "The squad leader came alone?"

"Yes." Zhang Lan nodded with a smile, but a strange look flashed in his eyes.

"Why don't you take your boyfriend out for a walk? I remember that in high school, all the boys in school were chasing you from the first grade to the third grade." Xiao Zheng joked.

"I'm divorced." Zhang Lan said calmly. "If I want to hold him, I can only hold my ex-husband."

"No way?" Xiao Zheng said in surprise. "Are you divorced?"

"What, are you going to say like those crooked guys that you finally waited for your chance?" Zhang Lan said angrily.

Xiao Zheng smiled awkwardly and said, "I don't dare to take advantage of the squad leader. I suffered a lot in your hands back then."

"That's not because you like to cause trouble." Zhang Lan rolled her eyes at Xiao Zheng and said very casually.

It was as if the conversation with Xiao Zheng was a real meeting with old classmates. A touch of friendship is more of an old feeling than a friend. Unlike those guys who only chat with old classmates who are doing well, they treat those who are slightly inferior to themselves or have little use value with a cold shoulder. Is this a class reunion? It is basically a business gathering to build connections and integrate resources. This made Zhang Lan quite uncomfortable.

Zhang Lan can tell from Xiao Zheng's dress that he is not doing well now. Perhaps he has not appeared in these years because he is not doing well and is sorry for his reputation back then? Speaking of which, compared to his high spirits back then, Xiao Zheng is indeed a little sluggish now. Not only has his appearance changed greatly, but even his once domineering eyes have become low-key and restrained, without any edge. The little bully back then was someone who attracted everyone's attention on any occasion. How could you hide in a corner and drink alcohol like now?

Zhang Lan, who has both sides of the government, has long since learned to read people's opinions, and is also quite good at reading people's hearts. She did not take the initiative to ask about Xiao Zheng's work and living conditions. She just had a drink with Xiao Zheng, leaned against the railing and asked with a smile: "How is it? Did you find out?" Most of the classmates have become reluctant to recognize it?"

"I don't know him well." Xiao Zheng smiled and shook his head, joking. "When I first came in, I thought I was in the wrong place."

"The people are still the same people as before. But after so many years, even the school has changed, not to mention the people?" Zhang Lan said with a smile. “Look at these old classmates, some have become multi-millionaires, and some have even become billionaires. They live in luxury houses, drive sports cars, drink more than 10,000 bottles of red wine, and spend tens of thousands on a simple meal. . If I don’t tell you your name, even an old man like me, who has been there since the first party, wouldn’t dare to recognize you when I meet you on the street.”

After a pause, Zhang Lan smiled and said: "Speaking of it. After so many years, the only thing that has not changed in our class is Lan Xin. Back then she was simple and gentle, and low-key to the point of being ignored. Now she has become It’s really rare for a woman to be as gentle and reserved as a successful company CEO.”

"Do you think I've changed?" Xiao Zheng asked with a smile.

"Change." Zhang Lan reacted very quickly and said with a smile. "He has become more handsome than before. If I met him on the street, I would think he was some idol star."

Xiao Zheng smiled heartily and said: "I feel refreshed after giving such a compliment to the squad leader. As expected of an administrative person. He just knows how to talk."

"How do you know I'm in administration?" Zhang Lan asked unexpectedly.

"Ah?" Xiao Zheng was slightly stunned and asked. "Are you really in charge of administration?"

"That's true." Zhang Lan smiled and nodded.

"Haha." Xiao Zheng laughed. "I really don't know. What I said just now is not because you have been the squad leader every year. In my eyes, the squad leader is already a high official."

Zhang Lan said angrily: "Now it seems that you really haven't changed at all."

During the chat, Xiao Zheng learned about Zhang Lan’s work. Section-level cadre of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Serious leadership with real power. Among this group of old classmates, he may not live in the biggest house or drive the most luxurious sports car, but he is of great significance and is the most worthy old classmate to win over and get close to.

At the age of only twenty-six, he climbed into a senior-level position. Or the oil and water department like the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Looking to the future, it’s hard to imagine how high we can climb. Even compared to billionaires like Lan Xin, Zhang Lan's specialness is irreplaceable and highly valued. No wonder she was surrounded by so many old classmates. It wasn't until Lan Xin appeared that she was able to get away.

"The monitor is really amazing. He holds an important position at a young age, and he won't fly to the sky in the future." Xiao Zheng doesn't ask for help, and he doesn't intend to use this relationship to go through the back door, so he doesn't speak like other classmates. , lower your posture. It's very natural to joke with a healthy classmate.

"Stop making fun of me." Zhang Lan smiled and shook his head and said. "The real sponsor is among the crowd. If you can please Director Lan, that's your real skill."

Xiao Zheng and Zhang Lan were chatting happily, and they didn't hide it at the moment. They joked: "The squad leader is right, I really have to please Director Lan. Otherwise, she can beat me back to my original shape in a flash."

"Oh?" Zhang Lan asked curiously. "Is it possible that you are also an ENN employee?"

"Exactly." Xiao Zheng smiled. "I currently work in the Xinao Security Department. Although Mr. Lan is not my immediate boss, even my immediate boss has to respectfully address her as Mr. Lan when he sees her."

Zhang Lan was surprised and said, "Lan Xin said before that she would bring a classmate she hadn't seen for many years. Could it be you?"

"Did she say that?" Xiao Zheng smiled and joked. "If it is true, then it must be me."

Hearing this, Zhang Lan immediately smiled evilly and said, "Xiao Zheng, tell me the truth. Are you in love with our President Lan? She usually keeps a distance from the male classmates in the class. Why did she suddenly bring you here? It's abnormal, too abnormal."

"Keep a low profile." Xiao Zheng said with a sly look. "I see that these old classmates are doing better than me. If they know about it, won't they bring me out and criticize me? I can't stand this kind of stimulation."

Zhang Lan complained, "You are too unrefined. You obviously got such a big sweet, but you didn't even treat me to wedding candy. No, no, if you want me to keep it a secret, you can, but you must treat me to a meal."

"No problem. Order whatever you want. Even if I sell everything I have, I have to serve the monitor comfortably." Xiao Zheng smiled.

"You make me sound like a vampire." Zhang Lan smiled and shook her head, but her eyes slowly fell on Lan Xin who was walking slowly.

Like Zhang Lan, Lan Xin was able to escape from the sea of ​​suffering because of the appearance of an old classmate who was still as radiant as before at the party. A woman who was radiant and paid for all the expenses of the party.

Her facial features may not be as delicate as Lan Xin's, but the charm she exudes is enough to instantly kill the sight of all the men in the audience. Her figure is curvy and her face is also made up exquisitely. The diamond necklace tied around her neck is dazzling. But it makes most of the female classmates present salivate and can't move their eyes away.

To be able to wear a diamond necklace worth tens of millions around her neck, how rich is this woman's life now?

Except for Xiao Zheng, everyone knows that this old classmate named Tao Ying married a middle-aged wealthy businessman in Yanjing for the second time. The other party has no children and regards her as a jewel in his palm. He will respond to her every request. Even her parents moved into a big mansion and lived an aristocratic life with servants serving them for food, drink, and defecation. It can be said that when one person succeeds, everyone else will benefit.

Tao Ying's appearance triggered a more intense reaction than Lan Xin's. Even Xiao Zheng's expression seemed a little strange, and he slightly avoided her sight.

"Ah Zheng. Why are you here?" Lan Xin looked at Xiao Zheng gently, her tone full of apology. "I just couldn't get away."

After that, she greeted Zhang Lan again. Polite and gentle.

She and Zhang Lan were not familiar with each other. It can even be said that as a repeater, there was a subtle gap between her and all her classmates, at least during her study period.

"Well, I was chatting with Zhang Lan." Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "Have you finished the socializing?"

Lan Xin said helplessly: "Fortunately Tao Ying is here, otherwise I would not be able to get away."

"You guys chat. I'll go say hello to Tao Ying. Otherwise, she will scold me for not knowing how to appreciate her." Zhang Lan was very good at dealing with people, and did not disturb Lan Xin and Xiao Zheng, and walked slowly towards Tao Ying. But before she walked away, Tao Ying in the crowd took the initiative to walk towards the three of them.

Tao Ying, who was flattered by everyone and was in high spirits, suddenly changed her expression when she saw Xiao Zheng standing between Lan Xin and Zhang Lan. There was a hint of resentment in her eyes, and she subconsciously quickened her pace.

"Hey. Isn't this the little bully of our Mingzhu No. 1 Middle School? I say, are you all blind? Didn't anyone see the famous person in our No. 1 Middle School?"
