So Pure, So Flirtatious Chapter 1493 - Xiaolu’s Class Reunion/ Parked in the Middle

Chapter 1493: Xiaolu’s Cla.s.s Reunion/ Parked in the Middle

Yang Ming was indifferent to Jing Xiaolu’s childish words, “What’s there to show off? You are now the chairman of the company, and you still need to show off? Is it necessary?”

“Yes, of course! You don’t know about the cla.s.s reunion last year. When I went with Sister Xinyao, everyone despised us!” Jing Xiaolu felt aggrieved when she recalled the last cla.s.s reunion. “At that time, Brother Bi Hai was not the property manager as he is now. He is just an ordinary punk in a pub. When we went there, we were ridiculed by others and we were ashamed to death!”

“Ahem…*Cough*…” Yang Ming coughed again. “Brother Bi Hai… haha…”

“What’s wrong?” Jing Xiaolu saw Yang Ming suddenly burst out laughing and coughing at the same time. She found it inexplicable, “What happened to Brother Bi Hai?”

“Did you know what Bi Hai called you just now?” Yang Ming took a deep breath, restrained his laughter, and said.

“What did he call me?” Jing Xiaolu asked curiously. “Doesn’t he call me Xiaolu? It’s always been that way!”

“He called you Sister Xiaolu just now!” Yang Ming laughed. “Now you called him Brother Bi Hai. You two are so mixed up as to who is older!”

“Ah?” Jing Xiaolu listened for a moment before she said, “Why did he suddenly call me Sister Xiaolu?”

“He calls me Brother Yang. He felt that it would be disrespectful to call you Xiaolu. So, he called you Sister Xiaolu.” Yang Ming shrugged his shoulders. “Besides, you are now the company’s chairman. Naturally, he wants to please you and feels that he can not call you Xiaolu anymore.”

“Oh, I see…” Jing Xiaolu understood after hearing Yang Ming’s explanation. But she was a little unhappy. “He did not address me like that at the time when he called Zhiyun as Sister Zhiyun…”

Of course, Yang Ming knew what Jing Xiaolu was referring to. Bi Hai called Lin Zhiyun as sister-in-law but called Xiaolu as Sister Xiaolu. Obviously, Xiaolu was treated differently. Bi Hai could see that her relations.h.i.+p with Yang Ming was not as good as Yang Ming and Lin Zhiyun’s relations.h.i.+p.

However, Yang Ming knew it was not appropriate to mention that Bi Hai wanted to call Jing Xiaolu as sister-in-law. He let out a faint smile and changed the topic, “Where is your cla.s.s reunion?”

“Oh… It’s at the Immortal Resort near Jidun city,” said Jing Xiaolu. “I don’t know who decided on this place. It’s far away in the suburbs.”

“Immortal Resort?” Yang Ming was a little speechless when he heard the name. Why is it Immortal Resort again? I seemed to have a predestined link to this resort, coming to this place twice! My cla.s.s reunions were held there twice. I never expected to go there a third time along with Jing Xiaolu.

As the Sui Family and the Wei Family had collapsed, Yang Ming did not know who owned the Immortal Resort now. At that time, Bao Sanli proposed to take over the Immortal Resort. Yang Ming was not interested. So, this matter was left aside.

At the mention of the Immortal Resort, Yang Ming remembered something about the Sui Family and the Wei family.

“Hmm, what’s wrong?” Jing Xiaolu saw that Yang Ming was perturbed and asked curiously.

“Nothing…” Yang Ming smiled wistfully and rubbed his chin. “I have been there twice. Once with Zhou Jiajia and once with Chen Mengyan. Both were cla.s.s reunions…”

“Ha, how can it be? So coincidental?” Jing Xiaolu heard Yang Ming’s explanation and felt that sometimes things in this world could be so coincidental. Yang Ming’s cla.s.s reunions were also held in this place.

Yang Ming could only continue to smile bitterly.

w.a.n.g Lin was very chic today and was driving a new Audi A8. He fetched his girlfriend Little Ran and accompanied her to a junior high school reunion party.

“This car is more comfortable than a Jetta taxi!” Little Ran touched the leather seats in the exquisite interior of the car and sighed longingly.

“That’s right. Don’t just look at what car this is. Although this is also a Volkswagen, can they be the same grade?” w.a.n.g Lin said proudly. “Will I make you proud this time?”

“The important point is that your job is not bad. The t.i.tle sounds decent. You are now the Security Captain, the Deputy Manager of the Logistics Department and a driver of the company’s top bra.s.s. Anyone who knows will be envious of you!” Little Ran was also proud. She was glad that she was not wrong about this person. Her parents and cla.s.smates used to persuade her to break up with Little w.a.n.g. And now?

During the cla.s.s reunion last year, Little w.a.n.g was only a member of the security team. He was not even the deputy captain and was considered a temporary worker. Little Ran had to suffer from her cla.s.smates’ supercilious gazes.

There were many people who were not admitted to the university and had just entered into society. Those who had good family connections could land a good job while others became drivers for important people. Driving a small car to the cla.s.s reunion was a way to show off. They did not usually drive good cars, only old cars like an Audi 100 or a Lao Guangben. However, since they came driving a car, they had bragging rights.

Of course, in this age, there were still very few students possessing cars. A few students who were from better off families possessed a car as their parents bought it for them. But there were few who would struggle to buy a car themselves.

This Audi A8 driven by w.a.n.g Lin might be considered as the most luxurious car.

“I’m lucky.” Little w.a.n.g scratched his head somewhat embarra.s.sed. “Brother Yang is not the chairman of the company now. Brother Yang has transferred the shares to his girlfriend.”

“It’s still the same!” Little Ran was annoyed with Little w.a.n.g’s words and admonished him with a smile, “You said, isn’t your money mine too?”

“That’s true too!” Little w.a.n.g nodded.

Little Ran was a junior high school cla.s.smate of Jing Xiaolu. However, the last time Little w.a.n.g and Little Ran attended the cla.s.s reunion, they dared not brag arrogantly like those who had good jobs due to Little w.a.n.g’s low status. They could only sit in a corner quietly listening to those awesome cla.s.smates bragging about how good their jobs were, how good their company’s welfare was, how much the boss valued them and so on.

At the last cla.s.s reunion, Jing Xiaolu and Ge Xinyao naturally belonged to the downtrodden group. They also sat in the corner like Little w.a.n.g and Little Ran while listening to others bragging. So, Little w.a.n.g did not notice Jing Xiaolu. Even if he did notice her, he would not remember, nor would he a.s.sociate her with his boss’s girlfriend and the current chairman of the company!

Even at home, Little w.a.n.g did not dare refer to Jing Xiaolu by name. He was Yang Ming’s driver. So, he must respect Yang Ming absolutely. As a driver, if you don’t respect your boss, what will others think when they see it?

So, at home, Little w.a.n.g only called her as Vice President Jing or Chairman Jing and never as Jing Xiaolu. So, Little Ran did not know that her junior high school cla.s.smate was now the chairman of her boyfriend’s company!

The organizer of this reunion, Zhang Kaiyuan, was a smart man. His father was in the foreign trade business and he had inherited his father’s business. His objective for this reunion was to gather his former cla.s.smates to find out what they were doing and whether there was anyone who could help his family business. Then, he would rope them in.

Zhang Kaiyuan stood in front of the Immortal Resort building, watching each of his junior high school cla.s.smates enter. Some had driven themselves, some had been dropped off by their parents and some had come over by taxi.

Zhang Kaiyuan smiled towards every cla.s.smate, but some smiles were from the heart while others were a pretense. Zhang Kaiyuan’s memory was very good. Zhang Kaiyuan remembered clearly how each cla.s.smate came, what car they drove, whether they drove themselves or were sent by their parents or friends.

At present, the best car Zhang Kaiyuan had seen so far was a BMW 3, which was of a little higher status than his own Toyota Camry. The driver of the BMW 3 was Wu Xiang, the former cla.s.s belle. Rumor was that she was a mistress of a wealthy person who gave her a lot of pocket money every month. This BMW was also given to Wu Xiang by the wealthy person.

In fact, according to Zhang Kaiyuan, Wu Xiang was not the most beautiful in the cla.s.s but was just very fas.h.i.+onable. The most beautiful person in Zhang Kaiyuan’s view was actually Jing Xiaolu. Jing Xiaolu had a good foundation. She just liked wearing some non-conventional clothes.

Zhang Kaiyuan’s heart hurt without reason when he thought of Jing Xiaolu. He had always liked Jing Xiaolu when he was in junior high school and had finally succeeded in pursuing her. But, Jing Xiaolu broke up with him after cheating him of a lot of money. He did not even get close enough to even hold hands. Later, Zhang Kaiyuan learned that Jing Xiaolu used this method to cheat dumb, rich and good-looking guys and he was regarded by Jing Xiaolu as one of them.

Chapter 1762: Parked in the Middle

Zhang Kaiyuan was upset, but at the same time, there was a sour resentment in his heart. This was because Zhang Kaiyuan was sincere towards Jing Xiaolu and had once again pursued Jing Xiaolu regardless of his previous suspicion. But, unfortunately, Jing Xiaolu did not like his gloomy personality at all. So, she ignored him.

Until last year’s reunion, Zhang Kaiyuan thought he had forgotten about Jing Xiaolu. He was flushed with success. He had inherited the family business and his father’s company. He was the one who called the shots in the company and the beautiful female secretary often flirted with him in the office. Other beautiful female employees often ran to flirt with him with ambiguous pa.s.sion as well. His life was so free and easy!

But when he met Jing Xiaolu again at the reunion, Zhang Kaiyuan’s heart was completely lost to her. When he saw that Jing Xiaolu still lived in poverty, he bragged hard at the cla.s.s reunion about how capable and rich he was now. He wanted to attract Jing Xiaolu’s attention, but she showed no interest in him.

After the cla.s.s reunion, Zhang Kaiyuan asked Jing Xiaolu out but she did not agree. To Jing Xiaolu, Zhang Kaiyuan was just a dumb, rich and good-looking guy who had been deceived by her once. She did not expect Zhang Kaiyuan to be cheated a second time. So, naturally, she would not be Zhang Kaiyuan’s date.

Of course, Zhang Kaiyuan also showed considerable enthusiasm for Wu Xiang. Never underestimate a mistress. Actually, a mistress had a very wide social network. Most of the friends Wu Xiang knew were also big bosses. Maybe one of them could help his business!

Even if she whispered some suggestions to her man to buy a batch of goods from his trading company, he would have earned enough. Zhang Kaiyuan’s trading company was not small, but it did not earn a lot of profit. The trading business basically depends on price and the compet.i.tion for relations.h.i.+ps. Even if you had relations.h.i.+ps, if the price was too outrageous, no one would buy.

After helping Wu Xiang park her car, he let her go to the hall to wait for the other students. Wu Xiang was a social b.u.t.terfly. As soon as she entered the room, she chatted warmly with a few sociable cla.s.smates and exchanged contact information with them.

Zhang Kaiyuan deliberately helped Wu Xiang park her car in the most prominent spot, right in the front of the resort door, next to his own Toyota Camry. In Zhang Kaiyuan’s view, Wu Xiang ‘s car should be the best one amongst all of his cla.s.smates. Judging from last year’s situation, there would not be a more premium car than this.

Zhang Kaiyuan had basically maintained a close connection with all his cla.s.smates that were doing well. He knew about their ins and outs and he knew that no one had changed cars. How could the company’s car be changed so easily? How could the car be retired before the end of the stipulated period?

So, Zhang Kaiyuan parked Wu Xiang’s car in the center facing the resort’s door. This was to demonstrate his authority at this cla.s.s reunion!

I never thought that Wu Xiang, that young girl, would be doing so well now. Zhang Kaiyuan thought with envy and contempt. But the sound of a car engine pulled him back from his thoughts. Zhang Kaiyuan looked up and was startled! It is actually an A8!

Are the people in this car also here to attend the cla.s.s reunion? Zhang Kaiyuan carefully thought about the successful students in his cla.s.s. Does anyone own an Audi A8?

Zhang Kaiyuan thought that it may be another guest of the resort. So, he did not bother. After all, none of his cla.s.smates drove such a luxurious car. Hence, he did not pay attention.

Alas, even as he tried to ignore, the car stopped in front of him.

“Zhang Kaiyuan!” Little Ran put her head out of the window and waved at Zhang Kaiyuan. “Is it here?”

“Sun Xiaoran?” Zhang Kaiyuan was surprised to see that it was Sun Xiaoran who was sitting in the front seat of the Audi A8! Isn’t Xiaoran going to college? Her boyfriend is some kind of hotel security personnel. How could he drive such a luxurious car?

Did Sun Xiaoran change boyfriend? Zhang Kaiyuan thought this was very likely. With this thought, he rushed over and flatteringly said, “Little Ran, welcome, welcome. You can come in. Thanks for gracing us with your presence!”

Little Ran smiled sweetly. Facing Zhang Kaiyuan’s completely different att.i.tude from last year, Sun Xiaoran’s heart felt refreshed.My presence is a grace. Why didn’t you say that last year?

But, Little Ran did not say it because she knew Zhang Kaiyuan very well and knew his style of dealing with people. So, she did not feel surprised.

“It is indeed worthy of the cla.s.s organizing committee. This cla.s.s reunion is really good. Once a year, everyone has the opportunity to get together!” Sun Xiaoran said with a smile.

At other times, Sun Xiaoran would not like to partic.i.p.ate in any cla.s.s reunion. Every time she came, she was like a supporting actress, watching other people bragging with no meaning at all.

“Isn’t this how it is supposed to be?” Zhang Kaiyuan smiled. He looked at the person in the driver’s seat, and asked with a smile. “Is this your boyfriend? Can you introduce him to me?”

“Didn’t you meet my Little w.a.n.g last year?” Sun Xiaoran introduced with pride. “Zhang Da, the organizing committee must be too busy to remember little people like us?”

“No, no! I was thinking that he looked familiar. It turns out to be Brother Xiao w.a.n.g!” Zhang Kaiyuan wondered. Isn’t Sun Xiaoran’s boyfriend a hotel security man?

Even a security man can afford to drive an Audi A8? Is this a joke? But, Zhang Kaiyuan’s memory was superb. w.a.n.g Lin really seemed familiar when he took a closer look. It was as if he had seen him last year.Is this really the same person from last year?

“Brother Xiao w.a.n.g. You seem to work at a better place now. Where is it?” Zhang Kaiyuan was puzzled in his heart but asked with a smile. “This car is really good. It is the best car in our cla.s.s!”

“This… is not worth mentioning. This car is not mine. I am just the driver for the top bra.s.s in the company!” said w.a.n.g Lin with a shrug.

Driver for the top bra.s.s? This top bra.s.s is not ordinary. One must be at least at the level of a vice president in the company to be able to afford this car? Zhang Kaiyuan calculated the price of the Audi A8 as even his father’s car was just an Audi A6.

“My Little w.a.n.g works at Ming Yang Entertainment, as the security guard captain and the deputy manager of the logistics department. It is busy, but it can’t be helped. The top bra.s.s has high regard for Little w.a.n.g and liked Little w.a.n.g as a driver!” Little Ran pretended to be distressed and said flippantly.

Ming Yang Entertainment? Zhang Kaiyuan had heard about this company. Recently, the news of the Song Jiang International Hotel and the Douglas vast Hotel were hot topics. Doesn’t the Song Jiang International Hotel belong to Ming Yang Entertainment?

Reportedly, Ming Yang Entertainment had strong background support in Song Jiang. This Little w.a.n.g was the security guard captain and deputy logistics manager of Ming Yang Entertainment. His position is not low, more so as he works as a driver for the top bra.s.s. This top bra.s.s must be the President or the Chairman. Otherwise, how could they afford a driver?

With this thought, Zhang Kaiyuan showed even more respect. “Ordinary people can’t drive for the top bra.s.s even if they want to. They have to be trusted by the top bra.s.s.”

“Hehe, yeah. I think the same way too!” Sun Xiaoran smiled proudly.

“Okay, let’s pause our chat and find a place to park the car. How about we head in and continue our chat?” Little w.a.n.g was not a person who liked to reveal too much. When he noticed Sun Xiaoran became more and more outrageous, he interrupted hurriedly.

“Your car is the best car in our cla.s.s. It should be parked right in the center in front of the resort’s main door!” Zhang Kaiyuan hastily stopped Little w.a.n.g from moving the car. “This will also show the prestige of our cla.s.s reunion!”

“But, the parking s.p.a.ce here is full?” Little w.a.n.g looked doubtfully at the center of the resort.

“The Camry is mine. It’s fine. I will just move it!” Zhang Kaiyuan ran to the front of his car and opened the door. He then hurriedly moved the car aside, and parked in a corner spot.
