65 For Money or for Beauty (1/2)
Finally, Tong Wei sat at Yang Ming's table with one other female classmate. It was almost 5:30 pm. Yang Ming looked around and all the classmates that he invited were here. As one of the organizers of the party, he stood up and said something enthusiastically. Although he did not study well as a student, he was a good speaker. With the experience of his job, he had greatly improved. He spoke a set of words with the character of a leader.
Wang Yao sighed. He did despise the affluent 2nd generation who built up the business with the help of his father, but he had to admit that there was something unique about them, which was their advantage.
Dishes of food were put on the table soon. They all looked so good and special since it was a big hotel. After that, Yang Ming raised the first cup of wine. The wine was good and most of them drank it all, but Wang Yao just drank water.
After that, everybody started to eat and they talked with each other. The atmosphere had been activated with just one cup of wine.
”Why don't you drink wine?” Li Shugang next to Wang Yao asked him.
”I drove here and also I don't like wine,” He said with a smile. He had painful memories of wine and he knew the torture of when he was drunk. He improved his body quality by drinking ancient spring and exercising his Qi from Natural Classics, but he still hated drinking wine.
”Why don't you drink a little bit in the gathering?” Another classmate, Wu Maosen, suggested.
”No. I will have an upset stomach if I drink wine,” Wang Yao said.
”Oh, forget it.”
After Yang Ming, He Hai also raised his cup. With the help of two cups of wine, they became relaxed and the conversation became more lively.
”How about your company?”
”Still the same thing. The profits of the company are good, but I still only earn a basic salary.”
”I heard that you have a good business, Yonggang?”
”Hey, nonsense!”
”You are a manager!”
Yang Ming also talked with He Hai.
”Dude, when will you have a further promotion?”
”It would be impossible in these two years since I have to lay a foundation in the basis. Hey, Baojun will come back two days from now.”
”Yeah? I heard that he was admitted by the taxing system of Lu Island.”
”Yes. He passed the exam.”
A classmate gathering was just this, asking about the businesses of classmates and talking about their own business as well as leaving contact information. Those who could work with each other would have further talks and drank much more. Wang Yao talked with the nearby classmates. Twenty minutes later, they left their seats to talk to some other friends.
”What do you do for a living?” He Hai came to Wang Yao and patted his shoulder.
”I'm a farmer at home,” Wang Yao said with a smile.
”A farmer? It can't be!”
”Yes. I contracted a hill.”
”Yeah, so you are going to be a money bag then!” He joked. ”How about leaving your number? I don't think I have it!”
”Okay.”
They left the contacts to each other.
”How about drinking a cup of wine?” He Hai poured out a cup.
