Xu Yingying had been planning to open a branch in Qihua for a long time, so she chose to come to Qihua today because her master's classmate made an appointment to have a party today, and the theme was to send a classmate working in the Provincial Department of Finance to the United States for three months of further study.

The place for the party was chosen in a restaurant not far from the Provincial Finance Department, called Jindu Hotel. Xu Yingying studied for three years in Qihua and was quite familiar with Qihua's geography. She left the hotel where she stayed, stopped a taxi, and came outside the Jindu Hotel before the agreed time.

"Welcome"

With a soft cry, a pretty figure flew towards Xu Yingying, and hugged Xu Yingying in a flash. His intimate spirit made passers-by look at him.

"Mengchen, I miss you so much." Xu Yingying held the other person with his back hand and shouted with a smile. This is her roommate who has been a master's degree for three years, named Wu Mengchen. After graduation, she was admitted to the civil servant of the Provincial Tourism Bureau and stayed in Qihua.

"Stop bragging, I really miss me, why don't you come to see me from Yuhai to Qihua for only two hours? Your Ge Jianyu won't even give you a half-day vacation," Wu Mengchen took Xu Yingying's hand and asked jokingly.

Xu Yingying waved his hand and said, "It's not his business. I'm too busy. It's hard to describe it. Why don't we go in and talk?"

"Yes, go in and chat. Shanxiao, Xuefang and the others will arrive soon. Lu Jinliang must have arrived long ago." Wu Mengchen said, holding Xu Yingying's hand and walked into the hotel.

When I arrived at the reserved private room, there was indeed a person sitting in the room. Seeing Xu Yingying and Wu Mengchen come in, the man quickly got up to greet him, and before he could say a smile, he heard it:

"Oh, Yingying is a rare guest, no, right? I should call you Boss Xu. I heard that after you arrived in Yuhai, you didn't find a unit to work, but started your own business."

This person is the class monitor of Xu Yingying, named Lu Jinliang. He organized the party today. After graduation, Lu Jinliang went to work in a district under Qihua, and he was relatively leisurely on weekdays. In addition, he is the class monitor, so he usually initiated this kind of thing. Xu Yingying had a good relationship with Lu Jinliang in the past. When he saw Lu Jinliang, he smiled and said hello. He explained modestly:

"What bosses don't have? They just open a small restaurant with others. I'm not as solid as Squad Leader Lu's grades. In addition, the time I was poisoned in Cangmu Mountain before graduation, I scared me away and I never dared to do things related to history anymore. My Jianyu said that I still have some talent in cooking, so I asked me to open a restaurant."

Her words were like real, making people feel that she was just a desperate move. Although the distance between Qihua and Yuhai was not far, no one in their class had been to Yuhai. So they didn't know the real situation of Xu Yingying now. They just occasionally listened to Xu Yingying talking about opening a restaurant in the class group. A master's graduate opened a restaurant and gave people the feeling that she always had to be associated with the word "decline". So when these students in the provincial capital gathered together to talk about Xu Yingying, their overall evaluation was that she was doing a very miserable job.

Wu Mengchen obviously also had this view, and listened to Xu Yingying's words. He quickly comforted him: "What kind of big restaurant, small restaurant? I want me to say that opening a small restaurant is easier. In fact, it's enough to earn enough money to eat and drink. We are not people who do big careers, right? Yingying."

"Mengchen, you are right. It's so tiring to open a big restaurant. I would rather open a small restaurant." Xu Yingying agreed with deep feelings, but the meaning in her words was completely opposite to that of Wu Mengchen. Wu Mengchen advised her to settle down with the status quo and stay in a small restaurant. But her meaning was that: Sister, I'm just a big restaurant now. But I'm so tired, although I'm tired and happy.

While talking, other students also arrived one after another, including Mao Shanxiao, who works in the Propaganda Department of the Provincial Power Grid Company, Ke Xuefang, who works in the Youth League Committee, and Yang Yu, who works in the Municipal Earthquake Bureau. After a few months, everyone has changed. One is that their clothes are much more particular than when they were studying, and the other is generally signs of premature fatness, which is because their lives have settled down.

Compared to these classmates who stayed in the provincial capital to work, Xu Yingying looked a little haggard. In the past few months, she was busy and worried about the burden. She had several white hair growing. At first glance, life was very difficult. However, if outsiders were watching, they could find that Xu Yingying was the brightest among the people in this group, and her classmates were more or less lazy.

"Why haven't Lao Qin come yet, isn't he going to see him off today?"

Yang Yu looked at the door of the private room with a look of impatient expression and muttered. Because there were still people who had not arrived, everyone was not in a position to serve the food, but sat next to him and drank tea. Yang Yu's work unit was far away and he rushed here with a bus. He was already a little hungry. After drinking a few cups of tea, he felt more and more astringent in his stomach and he was a little rude when he spoke.

"Old Qin is a busy person and is late for every party. Now he is about to go abroad. I guess there are a lot of things to hand over. Let's wait a little longer." Lu Jinliang explained to everyone with a smile.

"By the way, squad leader, will Lao Jiao come or not?" Yang Yu asked again.

When talking about Lao Jiao, everyone in the room was silent. Lu Jinliang looked embarrassed and said, "I have notified him too, and he said he should try his best to come over."

"Old Jiao, that's true." Ke Xuefang seemed to want to comment, but when she said that, she finally didn't know what to say.

Next, everyone returned to the original topic. It seemed that no one had mentioned Lao Jiao's matter at all, but everyone's mood was obviously depressed, and they no longer felt as enthusiastic as before.

Xu Yingying left Qihua for a few months and didn't understand the situation of Qihua's classmates. Seeing this, she knew some problems. She quietly pulled Wu Mengchen aside and asked in a low voice: "Mengchen, what happened? Why do I feel that everyone is embarrassed when they mention Lao Jiao?"

"Don't you know?" Wu Mengchen asked back strangely.

"I don't know." Xu Yingying said, "I haven't returned to Qihua in the past few months. My understanding of the situation in the class is to look at the news in the class group, but no one mentioned Lao Jiao."

"Oh," Wu Mengchen nodded, "Everyone really hasn't mentioned it in the group. I'll tell you, that's the case."

The Lao Jiao that everyone talked about was also a classmate in Xu Yingying's class. He was named Jiao Heping. He was from a farm family and was a graduate student who worked for several years after graduating from undergraduate studies. He was the oldest in the class, so the whole class called him Lao Jiao.

Before the postgraduate entrance examination, Jiao Heping taught a middle school in a poor county below Yunjiang. His wife was also an ordinary civil servant in the county. He had a normal family background and had no savings. During his graduate school, he basically worked part-time outside to earn living expenses. As we all know, he lived a frugal life. However, because he was a few years older than everyone and had work experience, he always acted as a big brother in his class. He often gave some guidance to his classmates in dealing with people, and his popularity was very good.

After graduation, Jiao Heping was admitted to the civil servant in Qihua City, but perhaps because of his age or other reasons, he ended up only being admitted to the Literature and History Museum in a district below Qihua, which was a complete Qingshui Yamen.

Some time ago, Jiao Heping's father suddenly fell seriously ill and was sent to Qihua for hospitalization. After examination, he needed to undergo a complicated heart surgery. He didn't know whether to do a bridge or a few stents. In short, the cost of the surgery is quite significant. In the past two years, the New Rural Cooperative Medical Scheme has been popularized in rural areas. The reimbursement rate for serious illness medical treatment is relatively high, but all of them are calculated, and the personal expenses need to be borne by an individual. In addition, the more than 200,000 yuan of the entire operation needs to be paid first, and then returned to the county for reimbursement with documents. This immediately stumped Jiao Heping.

Jiao Heping just came to work in a new unit and had a short relationship with his new colleagues, let alone a relationship that could borrow money. In a hurry, he could only speak to his former graduate students and begged everyone to raise some money for him and ask him to pay his father's medical expenses first so that he could take the surgery as soon as possible.

"Lao Jiao used to treat us well, but I wanted to lend him some money, but I just started working, so I didn't have any money. In the end, I only borrowed 2,000 yuan for him." Wu Mengchen looked a little embarrassed and said to Xu Yingying.

"Where are other classmates?" Xu Yingying asked with a gloomy face.

Wu Mengchen shook his head gently and said, "It seems that Yang Yu lent him 2,000, Shanxiao gave him 4,000 or more, but the others were gone."

"That's it." Xu Yingying understood.

Jiao Heping should contact each other individually and did not say it in the class group. Most people did not lend him money, so this kind of thing was not convenient to mention in the group, so everyone was silent. When we just started working, our family was generally not well-off, which is also an objective situation. But if we can’t make up for a few thousand yuan per person, it would be an excuse. After all, it was just a weak relationship.

At this time, I could only hear footsteps outside, and then a boy in a suit and ties and a briefcase appeared at the door. Lu Jinliang let out a howl and rushed over, reaching out to pick up the bag in the other party's hand. The boy was not in sight, and handed the bag to Lu Jinliang, and then greeted everyone loudly:

"Dear beauties and handsome guys, let everyone wait for a long time."

"Wow, handsome Qin is here"

"Qin Talented Man"

"Qin District"

A group of people came forward one after another, and compliments came one after another, leaving only Xu Yingying and Yang Yu, who were still standing in their original place, sneering and sneering. To be continued.
