At the class reunion, someone turned the table as soon as I picked up the dishes, and when I saw the notes on my classmates' mobile phones, I decisively quit the group
At the class reunion, I had something to eat, someone made a merry-go-round, and I involuntarily saw my classmates' mobile phone notes, and I decisively quit the group.
To be honest, when I saw the notice of the class reunion in the group, I was still a little uneasy. First of all, the meeting place is in Guangzhou, the city where I work, and it is not easy to refuse. Secondly, most of the people attending the party were from wealthy families and would inevitably eat and drink a lot, and I was used to a simple life since I was a child, so I felt very uncomfortable on such an occasion.
Wen Jie is also in Guangzhou, right?I haven't been to an event for a long time, is it because I can't see my old colleagues when I was the boss?"Someone mentioned my name in the group, and before I could answer, I was already nominated.
Although I am not a big boss, through personal efforts, I have won the sales championship in the company, and the income is quite good. However, I have always kept a low profile and never boasted among my colleagues.
I was too busy with work for the past two days to notice the group information. I'm as good as you, the big boss, it's far behind, I'll sign up for the party too. "I replied with a smile, but I was actually quite embarrassed in my heart.
Li signed up, Wang signed up, and Zhang signed up. "I propose to play a patience game in the class group, try to get interested students to sign up later, and then form a group to discuss the specific process of the activity.
Although the proposal for the meeting was made by someone else, I managed to organize the flow of the event. After all, the event is held in the city where I work, and I'm also a very lively person.
On the 11th, colleagues plan to assemble at the station. Students from other cities greeted each other as soon as they came out of the station, and I was obviously at the front, but everyone ignored me, and it wasn't until I was finally about to leave that someone stopped me.
Maybe it was because I was dressed very simple that day, a white shirt, black pants, and a pair of gray sneakers.
In stark contrast, the rest of the students were well-dressed: the girls wore make-up, and their clothes and hair accessories were well matched.
The same goes for the boys, who have brand logos printed on their clothes and sneakers, which are obviously luxury brands.
I'm not worried about being ignored. It's not that I don't have money to buy famous brands, and the suits I wear to work are worth a lot of money so that I can receive customers and show my respect. It's just that I usually like to buy a few dozen dollars of short sleeves and more than a hundred dollars of pants online. I'd rather be frugal than profligate.
They got out of the taxi and after packing their luggage, I guided them to the restaurant. When they saw that it was a tea restaurant, some people showed dissatisfaction and began to complain.
Wen Jie, it's hard to get together once, why are you taking us out to eat steamed buns?The cost of the meeting is shared among everyone, so there is no need to save money. ""Forget it, forget it, if you're hungry, let's eat first and find a good restaurant to eat at night. "
Steamed buns and flower rolls?They don't know how difficult it is to book a table at this teahouse, and even more difficult to book a private room if they don't have an acquaintance.
I'm fine for people who don't know how to do it, but my colleague who lives in Guangzhou doesn't react when he hears someone making fun of me. Guangzhou's morning tea culture is famous, don't they understand?To be honest, I'm a little disappointed with them.
Soon, barbecue, red rice sausage, phoenix feet, shrimp dumplings, steamed pork ribs...Served one after another. Some people started complaining that the food was not tasty, but everyone still took what they needed and ate with relish.
Watching my colleagues happily taste the food, I have been serving them and offering to refill the dishes for them. I wanted to take the opportunity to nibble on a few ** favorite shrimp dumplings, but as soon as I picked up the chopsticks, someone changed the table.
The plate is placed on a glass turntable, and if you can't pinch the plate, you can turn the disc so that the plate spins in front of you).
At first, I didn't pay much attention to it until I threw back a piece of rib and the table started turning again. Seeing my embarrassed appearance, the classmates next to me couldn't help but laugh, and I realized that someone was deliberately embarrassing me.
Wenjie, I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were going on a diet, you can eat first. After all, you are the most financially difficult student in our class, so you should eat more. "
It was Li Yan who said this, and he was the richest student in our class in high school. I heard that he later went to college, but after graduation, he didn't go to work, and he was rich and powerful.
Compared to other classmates, my family is really poor, and many times I can only choose the cheapest food. During that time, I always watched with trepidation as my classmates from wealthy families were able to taste delicious food at every meal.
I knew that Li Yan was sarcastic about me, but I didn't want to argue with him in front of everyone, so I replied lightly"I'm used to it, you eat more. "
He lowered his head and fiddled with the scrambled eggs in his bowl to avoid looking at him again. It's not so much low self-esteem as it is uncomfortable.
I am no longer struggling to survive in this first-class city on my own, as I used to be. I don't think I have anything to be inferior to those who rely on their families to flaunt their wealth.
The meal gave me mixed feelings, and the dinner lasted from morning to noon.
My colleagues left, leaving me alone to settle the bill in a private room. When I was about to leave, I noticed that some of my colleagues had forgotten their phones on the desk.
The screen of his phone was still on, and he didn't intend to look at the contents, but inadvertently, the phone suddenly vibrated and someone sent him a message.
I wondered whose phone it was, and when I scanned the screen, I saw a note that said"Poor child Zhang Wenjie"。
Isn't that my name?After all, he put it in front of my note"Poor child"。Even though I worked for a few years, been reprimanded by my boss and despised by customers, which should have made me stronger inside, I still have a tingling feeling in my heart.
Maybe it's the hardships of my student days, or maybe it's the poverty of my youth, all of which bring back memories for me.
He quietly left the private room and cautiously returned the phone to Li Yan. Then, he said to the other classmates:"I'll invite you for this meal, and I won't participate in the afternoon activities, so let them arrange it themselves.
As soon as I got home, I removed myself from the temporary reunion group and replied to all the messages they sent me"Busy", get me off the road...
