At that time, the cafeteria of No. 1 Middle School did not have a card system, and each window was contracted by individuals, and they paid directly to get the food. After getting their food, they found a seat in a corner and sat down. Because it was just the beginning of the school year, most of the freshmen would still come to the cafeteria to eat, so the cafeteria was basically full. Unlike most senior students, they know where the food is delicious, where the food is reasonably priced, and where flies have been found in the cafeteria, etc.
A noisy cafeteria and a buzzing big rotating fan, white shirts and black sweatpants, this is the high school life of most students...
As soon as they sat down, Liu Xiaomei pointed mysteriously at the people who had just entered the gate and whispered, "Did you see it? That person is Xu Jian, a sophomore. The one on the left is his buddy Kevin. The one on his right is Su Xi, who is the top scorer in the high school entrance examination like Ziqing. The one next to him is Liu Fei and Zhang Yuan. They are all promoted from the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School. How about it? Handsome, right?"
Liu Ye looked at the people he pointed at and found that two of them were seen last time, so he asked blankly, "How do you know so much? Do you know them all?"
Liu Xiaomei smiled proudly, showing a look that you don't understand, "I was also promoted from the junior high school of No. 1 Middle School. What is there that is called 'Liu Lingtong' that I don't know?"
This caused everyone to roll their eyes.
Zhang Yuan was sharp-eyed. Seeing that there was an empty seat next to Wang Lele, Ai Ziqing and others, he hurriedly trotted to call everyone over. Su Xi, Xu Jian and others were stunned for a moment, then followed.
Su Xi wore a white stand-up collar shirt and black casual pants today, a very ordinary set of clothes, but it looked very stylish on him.
Liu Fei, who hadn't been seen for a long time, wore a white Zhongshan suit with a slightly open collar. Ziqing was speechless. Wasn't he hot?
Xu Jian and Kevin were wearing black basketball uniforms, with sweat still on their foreheads. Both of them were over 180 cm tall, tall, and well-proportioned. They were both rare handsome men, but the former was a little calm and cold, while the latter was a little cool. Ai Ziqing admired the handsome men and didn't forget to comment in her heart.
Bored and yawning, Zhang Yuan ran over and sat next to Ai Ziqing. He wiped the sweat with his clothes and grinned, "It's so hot! How can I eat in this damn bad weather with so many people in the cafeteria?" He even took the chicken leg out of Ziqing's bowl and stuffed it into his mouth.
Ziqing helplessly held her forehead with her hand. Whose family is this live treasure?
Wang Lele was very thoughtful. As soon as Zhang Yuan's eyes caught her plate, she quickly covered it tightly, without a single gap! Ai Ziqing secretly admired her.
Liu Fei, Su Xi and others also sat down. Liu Fei smiled at Ziqing, "How is the new semester? Which class are you assigned to?"
"Grade one and two, not bad, do you also come to the cafeteria to eat?" Ziqing nodded and asked. They are considered old students in No. 1 Middle School. Like Ziqing in her previous life, they would not go to the cafeteria to eat twice a year. What about these young masters?
"Well, it's troublesome to go out, so I often come here to eat. In fact, the food in No. 1 Middle School is not bad." Liu Fei smiled at Ai Ziqing, whose chicken legs were exploited by Zhang Yuan. He also did not forget to briefly introduce Ai Ziqing and Wang Lele, "This is Xu Jian, Kevin."
Several people simply nodded, which was considered a greeting. Liu Fei did not introduce them in detail, probably because he didn't want them to have any intersection.
Ai Ziqing briefly introduced the people around him, and then buried his head in eating. After school, he had to practice shooting with Heizi, so of course he had to replenish his energy.
Liu Xiaomei opened her mouth in shock, her cheeks flushed, thinking that what she had just done was very stupid, actually bragging about other people's friends to others? Just hit her head and die! Zhang Yuanyuan was extremely excited, and kept talking about this and that. Ai Ziqing felt that all she could see was Zhang Yuanyuan's mouth opening and closing, which made her headache abnormally. Although she also liked to look at handsome guys, she didn't want to tie firecrackers to her mouth, right?
Zhang Yuanyuan seemed to be particularly interested in a few boys, but she was a little reserved, so she kept looking for all kinds of interesting stories to tell Ai Ziqing and others, and her eyes would occasionally glance at a few boys. If a boy talked to her, she would be more excited. Unfortunately, except for Zhang Yuan, who knew how to accommodate the beauty, the others either listened with a smile or ate with a dead face.
Just when Ziqing finished eating and was about to leave, there was a "bang" above the table, which startled everyone, and then a pleasant female voice sounded, "Why don't you wait for me to eat together? Who are they?"
Ai Ziqing looked up and saw that the person who came was Xue Mei, the violent girl in the morning. At this time, she was scanning the girls with a slightly cold look, but her words were directed at Xu Jian.
Xu Jian was stunned, and then just smiled and said, "I'm having dinner with a few friends. Is there anything, Miss Xue?" His expression was full of impatience.
"You..." Xue Mei's face changed when she heard this. She paused, but she didn't get angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "I've told you many times that you can just call me Meimei. Why can't you remember? It's my birthday this weekend, and I'm going to have a party. Don't forget to come."
Without waiting for Xu Jian to refuse, she suddenly said, as if she remembered something, "By the way, my father will talk to Uncle Xu about the project in a few days."
Hearing this, Xu Jian swallowed the words that were about to come to his mouth, nodded slightly, and smiled and said, "Please tell Uncle Xue about this for me. I will be there for Miss Xue's birthday."
Xue Mei then showed a satisfied smile, turned to Su Xi and the others and said, "Young Master Su, you must also attend?"
After speaking, she looked up at the girls, especially Zhang Yuanyuan, who was the happiest person just now, and raised her mouth and said, "Since everyone knows each other, let's come to the party this weekend!"
Xue Mei was disdainful in her heart. She had seen many girls who wanted to get close to young men when they saw them. She invited them to the party in the hope that they would experience the gap between the rich and the poor, so that they would stop having those unrealistic thoughts.
After seeing Zhang Yuanyuan nodding stupidly under her gaze, Xue Mei crossed her arms over her chest, stepped on high heels, and left with a proud look, leaving everyone looking at each other.
Xu Jian's father was Xu Yandong, member of the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee and Executive Deputy Secretary, the second-in-command of Liao Province, and Xue Mei's father was Xue Bin, the richest man in Yang City!
Xu Jian tolerated Xue Mei like this, not because he was afraid of her. After all, there was a difference in status between officials and businessmen.
His tolerance was because Xu Yandong was recently racking his brains for a personal contracting project for a state-owned enterprise, and he urgently needed Xue Bin's cooperation to increase his political achievements!
Since the implementation of the "Decision of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of China on Economic Reform" in 1984, state-owned enterprises have been transferred to a model where individuals can contract and bear their own profits and losses. This model has indeed achieved an economic peak, but as time goes by, this model has gradually revealed its drawbacks and has declined to a low point so far. If Xue Bin can get support and cooperation in Liaoning Province, it can set off a wave again, respond to the call of the country, and add a strong color to its own political achievements.
As for why he is eager to add political achievements, this can be traced back to this year's election of provincial party secretaries!
Xu Yandong is nearly 40 years old and in his prime. He has reached the political height of deputy secretary of the provincial party committee. The old secretary is old and will be transferred to the Beijing People's Congress this year. Xu Yandong has been preparing for the position of provincial party secretary for a long time, but Governor Zhou Kang is his great rival!
There is news from above that Zhou Kang has a very high chance of winning the election, so Xu Yandong has no choice but to make a big fuss about his political achievements at this critical moment in the hope of winning the election.
As a son, Xu Jian certainly knew what kind of problem his father was in this time, so he treated Xue Mei, who had never paid attention to him before, with courtesy and tolerance.
Xue Mei met him at a party two years ago, and then she stuck to him. In the past, even if he didn't like this girl, he would treat her politely, but the comments and rumors about her in the circle really made people have no good feelings towards her.
Not only was she arrogant and willful, arrogant and unreasonable, and bullied others, but she also had ambiguous relationships with many men, even after she expressed her affection for him, she still did so. Such a woman pestered him, which really made him extremely impatient!
Ai Ziqing naturally didn't know about these things. If she knew, she would wipe her mouth after dinner and tell him, "Brother, your father can't become the provincial party secretary, and his life is even in danger. Don't bother. I told Zhou Kang that he is destined to succeed in the election and then bring disaster to the people!"
Ai Ziqing concentrated on eating. She didn't like Xue Mei, and she didn't like her from the beginning, but she didn't feel disgusted, after all, it had nothing to do with her.
In the previous life, she and a rich girl like her were people from two different worlds, and there would be no intersection at all. She had her own life, whether she was domineering or spoiled.
Wang Lele whispered to the side and introduced the origins of Xu Jian and Xue Mei. At this time, Liu Fei whispered, "If Ziqing doesn't like it, don't go on Saturday." This sentence made Xu Jian and others look at Ai Ziqing curiously.
Just as she was about to agree, her hand was gently held by Zhang Yuanyuan. Turning her head to look at her pouting and aggrieved look, Ziqing felt a little funny. Who told you to be a flower maniac?
Then she thought for a while and decided that she could cancel the training on Saturday. Su Xi and the others were her friends. It would be inappropriate to let Zhang Yuanyuan go alone. Although it had nothing to do with her, they were her friends after all. Besides, it was not a big deal. There was no need to be hypocritical and think that it was none of her business to show her indifference.
"It's okay anyway. I'll go with you. You won't be unwelcome, will you?" Ziqing chuckled.
"Of course you're welcome. I'll pick you up on Saturday and we'll go together." Su Xi thought for a while and said.
"Well, whatever. I don't know where it is anyway." Ai Ziqing replied casually. She knew that Su Xi might be worried that she would not be used to that kind of party and would feel embarrassed, so she offered to accompany her.
Su Xi's reaction made Xu Jian and Kevin even more curious. Ai Ziqing's dress was really ordinary and her appearance could only be considered pretty and pretty, but there were many pretty girls. Besides, this girl didn't seem to be from their circle. In addition, they were familiar with Su Xi and Liu Fei's personalities, and they were somewhat puzzled as to why the two of them took such good care of such a girl.
After dinner, on the way back, Zhang Yuanyuan regretted pulling her hair and said, "It's terrible, how did I offend this evil star! He often talks about her and other girls' gossips, but I didn't expect that I would become the protagonist today!"
Liu Xiaomei was also anxious and bit her lip, worried that Xue Mei would deal with Zhang Yuanyuan. After all, the two of them were promoted from junior high school together, and both of them had wealthy families, but they were very different from those with political backgrounds.
"It's okay, just going to a party, she won't make things difficult for you regardless of your status? She just wants you women who are "climbing up the dragon and attaching to the phoenix" in her eyes to see her life, and then retreat when you know the difficulty." Wang Lele pouted and said, it's not a big deal, so there's no need to worry!
But for Liu Xiaomei and the others who have heard about Xue Mei's deeds since junior high school, offending Xue Mei is undoubtedly very anxious for them.
Especially in the dark side of school, girls are sometimes more terrifying than boys. Xue Mei used to bring people to block students who made her angry. Once she even took a nude photo of a girl to threaten her. In the end, the matter became a big deal, but it was suppressed by the school and nothing happened.
