Chapter 98: Envy, Jealousy
After the bride and groom and groom and groom and groommaid danced, the host announced the meal amid warm applause.
Only then did everyone notice that the hotel waiter lined up to bring the meal, and the hungry children surrounded each other. Han Xiaowu and Chu Chanjuan were not in a hurry. After listening to the violin and Shax for a while, they saw that there were not as many people surrounding the bride and groom as before, they squeezed forward and said a few words of blessing, and were pulled together to take a few photos before picking up the meal.
"Xiaowu, here! There are two empty seats here, which are specially for you to occupy."
"Here, thank you, squad leader."
Zhang Huanhuan put the bag under his feet, and while greeting Chu Chanjuan, he asked with a smile: "Xiaowu, Miss Chu, when will you get married? We are waiting for your wedding wine."
"It's almost done, try to get married before the age of 35." Han Xiaowu sat down and smiled.
"What does it mean to fight?" Zhang Huanhuan put down his knife and fork, looked at Chu Chanjuan with a smile and said, "Miss Chu, you can't let him get married like this. Their men don't care, and they are even worried that they will lose their freedom and deliberately drag them. We women can't afford to spend it."
"Sister Zhang, I... I'm not in a hurry." Among so many Boss Han's classmates, Chu Chanjuan felt that the slightly fat female classmate in front of her was the best to get along with, but she couldn't talk about the topic of marriage, so she quickly changed the topic: "Sister Zhang, where are your lover and children?"
"Where are you?" Zhang Huanhuan pointed diagonally across from the other side and said helplessly: "My husband said today is my classmate's wedding. We classmates have rarely gathered once in many years. So we went there so that our classmates could have a good chat. As a result, you also saw that they were all free activities. A few of them said hello to Lao Tong without even eating, and left first."
Han Xiaowu looked around and found that he couldn't see a few classmates. He pretended to be unhappy and said, "I dare not treat the class monitor as a cadre. I will go to the group to criticize them later."
"Forget it, they are all brought by their families, of course they have to take good care of their wives and children." Zhang Huanhuan smiled and said, "It's the first time some people bring their children to Donghai, how can they not accompany their children to Disneyland to play? If they bring their wives to the first time, how can they not accompany their wives to Zhongshan Road and the Bund?"
"That's right, and the weekend is only two days, and the time is very tight."
"Xiaowu, you are different from them. You have time. How about having a meal together in the evening?" Zhang Huanhuan turned around and looked at Chu Chanjuan: "Miss Chu, this is the first time we have seen each other. Can you enjoy the glory and let me enjoy the landlords?"
"Squad leader, don't be so polite. We'll leave in the afternoon, next time."
"Xiaowu, do you look down on me?"
"How is that possible?"
"I asked the fat man, and he said you will fly to the South China Sea after a genius!"
He was betrayed by the fat man again. Han Xiaowu was so angry that his teeth were itchy. He was speechless. Zhang Huanhuan stared at him and asked, "Xiaowu, do you really look down on me, or do you think I can't afford to even have a meal?"
"Squad leader, what are you saying..." Han Xiaowu really didn't know how to answer, so he subconsciously looked at his female companion.
Chu Chanjuan didn't want to make things difficult for him, and at the same time she felt that this was an opportunity to understand him, so she said ambiguously: "I listen to you, I will go wherever you go."
"That's it!" Zhang Huanhuan finally smiled, holding the meal fork and pointing at her husband and child not far away: "My husband has to be on duty in the evening, and he will send the two children back later. By the way, Lao Qian also came alone. After dinner, we first find a place to drink tea nearby, chat, and then find a place to have supper."
"Who will take the child back?"
"My God, my mom helps me take care of it. Finally, I can have a half-day vacation and a reunion with my classmates. I'm happy to think about it."
The old classmate was happy, but Han Xiaowu couldn't be happy.
Cai Qi was having fun at Disney. She just sent a WeChat message saying that she planned to play until the other person closed the door before coming out. Xu Haoran and his wife left later. They thought they could spend a long time alone with the United Front lady and cultivate their relationship well, but they were all ruined!
Chu Chanjuan also felt a little regretful, thinking that since she is not a person from the same world, what's the point of knowing so much? But she has already said it, so she can only follow her later.
...
A buffet is not a meal. You can get the wedding candy and leave after eating and drinking.
He came all the way to have a wedding banquet but didn't finish it. To be precise, there was no atmosphere of drinking. Xu Haoran felt a little regretful. After taking a few simple bites, he greeted the bride and groom and several classmates who had not left for the time being. He took the exquisitely packaged wedding candy and took Master Liu's car to leave first, and did not allow Han Xiaowu and Chu Chanjuan to send it away.
The hotel is not far from the airport. Master Liu rushed back from the airport and said that there is a life tomorrow. He may not have time to take Chu Chanjuan and Cai Qi to Dingjia parking lot tomorrow night. He suggested giving him the car keys. He asked someone to help drive the car to the Disneyland Hotel.
Two days ago, Chu Chanjuan would not have felt relieved.
But now it was not two days ago, she happily handed over the car keys to Master Liu.
Zhang Huanhuan, who didn't have to go to work or take care of her children today, was as happy as a bird that had just been released from the cage. She took Han Xiaowu, Chu Chanjuan and college classmate Qian Jizu to a cafe near the hotel. She ordered a few cups of green tea and started chatting happily.
As she chatted, she naturally talked about the wedding she had just attended. She said angrily: "It is agreed that you should not put on airs when you become an official, and those with rich are not allowed to show off your wealth. As a result, the fat man still showed off today. It was too much and he won't play with him in the future!"
Qian Jizu knew that she felt bad, so she put down the cup and said, "Squad leader, you can't blame the fat man. If you want to blame, you can only blame Lao Tong. Lao Tong wants to show off and show off."
"I don't care, I just know he broke the rules!"
"The squad leader is right. Rules are rules. Since they are rules, they cannot be broken." Han Xiaowu echoed.
It would be fine if he didn't speak, but he actually started to trouble as soon as he opened his mouth. Zhang Huanhuan pointed at him and said unhappily: "I believe others say this, Xiaowu, I don't believe you say this!"
"Why?"
"What's your relationship with fat guys? How good are you and fat guys? You two wore pairs of pants when you were in college, but now you still wore pairs of pants. Don't say beautiful words, you know how to treat me perfunctorily!"
Chu Chanjuan saw that the reason why Zhang Huanhuan pulled Boss Han and Qian Jizu out for tea and invited Boss Han and Qian Jizu to dinner in the evening should be because life, especially marriage, turned her into a busy office worker and mother of two children every day. Only in front of Han Xiaowu and Qian Jizu can she find the feeling of being held by the stars back then.
At the same time, it may have been stimulated by Yu Shuhui. If she had not been in a hurry to get married and chose Xu Haoran, then she would definitely not have anything to do now. She could be a wealthy wife, but she did not do it for her own reasons. It would be fine if she couldn't see Yu Shuhui. She would definitely feel uncomfortable when she saw her, so she wanted to talk to her old classmates.
In fact, Han Xiaowu saw it as well, and laughed and said, "Squad Leader, I will never dare to perfunctory you if I borrowed ten courages. You will always be my good squad leader, and I will always be a little bit around you."
Zhang Huanhuan pouted like a little girl and muttered, "Liar, you have been bribed by the fat man!"
"Squad leader, you're wronged me now. Am I the kind of person who can buy it with a few stinky money?"
"The fat man didn't give you money, but he forced you into the investment bank! You don't have to do anything, and the insurance allowance will be millions a year! If you sign, it will be millions another!"
They are all classmates, why are fat guys so kind to him?
When talking about this, Qian Jizu was really envious and jealous, and pretended to be unhappy and said, "Xiaowu, don't behave well when you get a bargain. If you don't even buy this, then what is buying?"
Although Chu Chanjuan doesn’t understand finance, she still knows more or less about the IPO. She finally knows what Boss Han used to do. She looks at him with a smile, as if asking you, don’t you say you are selling bonds?
There is a priority, and Han Xiaowu felt that he should comfort Zhang Huanhuan first, scratched his neck and smiled bitterly: "Squad leader, insurance agent is a matter later. Do you know how many nights I have spent to take the exam for insurance agent qualification? And insurance agent allowances and signature fees are old calendars. If you don't believe it, go and inquire. Now, which brokerage firm will pay the insurance agent."
"So you caught up with a good time. At that time, the insurance agent was as scarce as the giant panda. Now there are too many insurance agents, of course they are not worth it." Zhang Huanhuan thought about it and muttered: "If the fat man hadn't stuffed you into the investment bank, would you have the chance to take the insurance agent exam?"
“That’s true.”
"And there is also the bonus commission for his company's IPO. Don't tell me that you didn't get it!"
"Take it."
"How much did you take?" Qian Jizu asked curiously.
"His family has a large plate and raises a lot of funds, so our securities company also has a lot of commissions, and the bonuses come to me are also relatively high. I forgot how much it is, it should be three or four million." Han Xiaowu put down the cup and said embarrassedly: "But if you don't give this money, you still have to give it to others."
"You want to say, who are you going to earn money for?"
"Isn't it?"
"Why didn't the fat man let me get rich?" Qian Jizu asked with a smile.
"I don't know this. It should be that when you graduate, your job was over. I heard that I was hesitating whether to find a job first or work hard to take the postgraduate entrance examination. He may have seen that I was not settled and was in a position to catch up with his company to IPO, so he took this opportunity to stuff me into the investment bank."
Chu Chanjuan finally knew why Boss Han had such a good relationship with Xu Haoran. It turned out that without Boss Xu, he would not be today. She couldn't help but think of what he said in the woods at noon. She thought that when he met a classmate like Boss Xu, his opportunity was really not good.
She was feeling a lot, and Han Xiaowu continued: "Then his company passed the review. It took more than two years to get the bonus of his project. It was after I was admitted to the insurance agent qualification. In the past two years, I was a hard-working financial bricklayer. I went on business trips almost every day, worked overtime every day, and had to prepare for the exam after work overtime. That day was really not something that humans could live with, and I only had 20,000 or 30,000 yuan a month."
Qian Jizu asked laughed and cried: "Twenty or thirty thousand is still less?"
"Do you get more than 20,000 or 30,000 a month in the East China Sea?"
"Twenty or three thousand is not much, but it's not too much." Zhang Huanhuan took over the conversation and said with a smile: "Xiaowu, as you say, Fatty not only stuffed you into the investment bank, nor did he just ask you to undertake the IPO of his company, but also gave you a chance to sign the issue!"
"This is a coincidence. If I fail the exam, I am not eligible to sign."
"I only know that if you sign the letter, you will become a senior insurance agent, and you will turn over. Not only will you turn over, but you will become successful!"
"Squad leader, when I was qualified for insurance agents, I had more opportunities to sign, otherwise the brokerage firm would not give the insurance agents so much subsidy."
"But projects are different from projects. You sign large projects that raise billions of dollars. Can you compare the insurance agents who sign small projects?"
"I admit this."
Qian Jizu snorted coldly: "So you were still bribed by the fat man!"
"Old Qian, more than what I said just now." Zhang Huanhuan glared at Han Xiaowu and said, "Xiaoyu is thinking about flattering the fat man all day long. Not only does she always go to find the fat man, but she seems to have a good relationship with the fat man's wife. She has the most informed news. She said that the fat man's father later introduced several big bosses to Xiaowu and several IPO projects to Xiaowu!"
"Yeah?"
"If you don't believe me, ask him."
"It's because of this. As long as you complete a project, you can do it later. In fact, no matter what business you do, it's the same, it depends on reputation."
Qian Jizu couldn't help asking: "After connecting several IPO projects, Xiaowu, how much money did you make?"
"It's about 20 to 30 million. In fact, it's only in those years that make money. Later, there are fewer and fewer high-quality projects, and this industry is becoming more and more difficult to do. Later, even the insurance agents have lost their allowances, and many new insurance agents have even accumulated some qualifications for them, and they are rushing to sign without a signing fee. Now it's even worse, the 'support system' has been cancelled and changed to the 'registration system', and their jobs have been smashed."
"Don't pretend to be pitiful, at least you have made a lot of money. Besides, with your qualifications, you will have food to eat without being a security agent!"
"Yes, why did you quit?"
Before Han Xiaowu could speak, Chu Chanjuan, who had been silent all the time, suddenly remembered what Boss Xu said, and couldn't help laughing: "Sister Zhang, someone is used to making big money quickly and is unwilling to make slow money again."
"It turns out that it's because of this," Zhang Huanhuan nodded, and thought about it and said, "Xiaowu, Chanjuan knows you. I was just kidding. Lao Qian and I were not jealous of you, nor were we jealous of you and you made so much money with the fat man. The reason why I say so much is just because you are not honest!"
"My good class monitor, why am I not honest? I am the most honest and well-behaved child in the class, okay?"
"I'm still stubborn!"
"Let's stop talking about this, let's change the topic, how do we arrange the next half day?" Thinking of the days when I was in college, Han Xiaowu looked at Zhang Huanhuan again and asked, "It's not interesting to drink tea here. Should we go to a movie or find a KVT to yell?"
"Go and sing, I haven't sang for years!"
"Okay, I'll search online for any KTVs."
As soon as Han Xiaowu picked up his cell phone, Qian Jizu asked with a smile: "Squad leader, after singing, should we go to eat spicy hot pot or roast chicken?"
"Roasted chicken, I haven't eaten it in a long time."
"Okay, that's it!"
