In order to divert Chen Xing's attention, Huang Ming said with his unique smirk. Chen Xing knew that Huang Ming did that to make him happy. In the past two years, he had been used to the current situation. To put it bluntly, even if he was promoted and appreciated by his superior, he had no future in the Political Research Office. Even Su Liqun, the head of the Political Research Office, was a dignified official at the division level, which was the same level as the heads of the local tax bureau, finance bureau, and other administrative bureaus, was totally different in terms of status and power. Even if he was lucky enough to become the head of the Political Research Office in the future, he would still have no future. At most, he could enjoy the salary and welfare of a divisional official. Perhaps because he had long been used to this situation, or because he no longer had fervent and irrational expectations for his own future, Chen Xing's disappointment came and went quickly. Soon, he continued to talk and laugh with Huang Ming. Don't look down on Fei Ren. He used to be ignorant and incompetent, but he was very good at interpersonal relationships. He could become a divisional official not only because of his father's relationship, but also because of his own efforts. Otherwise, no matter how strong his relationship was, it would be useless if he offended everyone.
Tut, he was good at eating, drinking, and having fun. He was not short of money, so he could treat people to food and drink. Besides, he was good at talking. How could he have a bad interpersonal relationship? Huang Ming smacked his lips and said. Although he did not deny the fact that Chen Xing had affirmed Fei Ren, his tone was still not very friendly.
Haha, this kind of words can only be said in private. Don't talk nonsense later. Chen Xing kindly reminded him.
Don't worry about this. Don't you think I am such a person? When we meet later, we will talk and laugh. Why would I offend him for no reason? Huang Ming nodded. He had been running his own business ever since he graduated from university, so he had already experienced the hardships of the world. It was not easy to get anything done. These government officials, especially those with a bit of power like Fei Ren, could not be offended. Otherwise, they wouldn't even need to do anything. All they needed to do was move their mouths and they would be able to torture people into kneeling and begging for mercy.
The elevator stopped with a clang. It had already reached the fifth floor. As soon as the elevator door opened, a large red banner with the words' Class Reunion of Which Year 'was placed on the opposite side. It was very eye-catching.
This time, the organizer was Fei Ren. It was said that he had booked the entire floor of the hotel. Before he came here, he thought that it was an exaggeration, but it seemed that it was true. Huang Ming turned his head and looked around. This floor was filled with familiar university faces. Other than the hotel staff, there was no one else. He couldn't help but believe what he had heard before. Thinking that this was a four-star hotel, he couldn't help but sigh in his heart. This person really had too much money.
Chen Xing patted Huang Ming on the shoulder and said nothing. They walked to the hall together. Most of the students had already arrived. Fei Ren was already surrounded by a group of students, talking and laughing with them. No one knew what they were talking about, but Fei Ren looked very happy.
Ah, the Great Scholar Chen from our class is here. The sharp-eyed Fei Ren saw Chen Xing and Huang Ming at once. He smiled and waved at them.
Chen Xing and Huang Ming looked at each other and saw the reluctance in each other's eyes. However, as classmates, it was not good for them to embarrass each other, so they had to walk over slowly.
Chen Xing was now a famous writer in the Municipal Party Committee. It was said that he had published many important articles. Fei Ren introduced him to the crowd with a smile, which made everyone exclaim. From time to time, some people gave a thumbs-up to Chen Xing and said that he was awesome. However, it was obvious that no one gathered around Fei Ren because of this.
Chen Xing glanced at Fei Ren calmly and saw a flash of pride in Fei Ren's eyes. He knew that Fei Ren was using him to boost his own reputation. However, he had no choice. In school, Fei Ren was no match for him in all aspects. Fei Ren's appeal and popularity among his classmates were not as good as his. However, all of this had become a thing of the past with the passage of time. Now, Fei Ren was no match for him in terms of power, status, and influence among his classmates. Their identities had been swapped. Although the smiles and enthusiasm among the classmates were still the same, it made people feel that there was a thick wall between them that they could not cross.
Silently glancing at the familiar faces of his classmates, Chen Xing suddenly felt a little strange. The faces of his classmates, who were once young, innocent, childish, and even cute, had long been replaced by mature and socialized faces. Everyone's appearance might have changed a little because of the vicissitudes of life, but there was one thing in common: time had left the same traces on everyone's face.
