Jiangchuan's Love Story
Chapter 636 Jiangchuan's Love Story
When Zhang Yunqi finished talking with Liu Dongsheng, it was already past 5 p.m. After leaving Aihua Industrial Park, he went straight back to Shuixie Yundu.
She waited for him at home when they first met.
The two of them went out together.
Tonight, the two of them are going to a high school reunion organized by Fatty Tian Zhuangzhuang and Xiao Xuemei.
Now, every reunion of my high school classmates is held at Yang Wei's restaurant.
Yes, Yang Wei's barbecue stall has been upgraded to a restaurant.
After more than a year of hard work, Yang Wei and Yan Shi had saved up some money. His sister, Yang Jin, had a high salary at United Times Group. This girl was not very willing to spend money on herself, but she did her best to support her brother's career. With the start-up capital, Yang Wei went all out and rented a store of more than 200 square meters on Yuxian Street, the street with the highest foot traffic in Jiangchuan. He listened to Zhang Yunqi's advice and launched the first store in Jiangchuan that specializes in crayfish.
The restaurant is called Juwei Yangji Lobster Hall.
This summer, Zhangji Catering, in conjunction with Liansheng Group, launched a massive promotional campaign for Qiaokou Lotus Flower Crayfish and Spicy Crayfish in Lijin City, the provincial capital. Marketing activities came one after another, and they even sponsored the popular TV series "Tears in Heaven" which aired during prime time on Hunan TV. The response was overwhelming, and the Lijin Spicy Crayfish Carnival at the end of August was already heating up. The craze for eating crayfish gradually spread from Lijin City to Jiangchuan.
Yang Wei's store business was booming this summer, with piles of money flowing into his pockets every day. He was starting to have the air of a boss from the 90s.
The old classmates felt like it was a lifetime ago.
The most frustrated one was Fatty Tian Zhuangzhuang. Of the four of them in their high school dorm, Zhang Yunqi was the first to get rich, not to mention Yang Wei and Wang Xiaokai, those two good-for-nothings who dropped out of high school and went out into the workforce. Now they're all doing better than each other, all of them bosses with girls on their arms and big phones on their belts. Only he, like an idiot, plunged headfirst into the sea of books and didn't know when to turn back. As a result, he's still a poor guy who struggles to decide whether to add an extra ounce of braised pork to his school cafeteria meal.
While eating in the private room that Yang Wei had specially prepared for his old classmates, Tian Zhuangzhuang, who had drunk too much, kept hugging Zhang Yunqi and muttering, "Boss Zhang, should I just drop out of school too? Just give me a leg hair so I can fly through the clouds."
Zhang Yunqi peeled a crayfish and put it in Chujian's bowl. He said to Tian Zhuangzhuang, "Fatty, do you still remember when you graduated from high school, you said with great ambition that you would dedicate your life to the revitalization of socialist agriculture in our country? It's only been a year, and you're already planning to just coast along? Then who will sit in my position as chairman of Liansheng Group in ten years?"
These words made Tian Zhuangzhuang excited. He pounded his chest and assured him, "Boss Zhang, don't worry. Although the capitalist airs of those two brothers, Kai Zi and Yang Wei, have made me waver a little, they can't corrupt my lofty ideals!"
Everyone is happy.
Then, while the iron was hot, some of these old classmates wanted Zhang Yunqi to arrange jobs for them, while others expressed their desire to work for him.
His words were laced with flattery and fawning, treating Zhang Yunqi almost like his own father. It was likely that if he farted at the dinner table, all his colleagues would unanimously say it smelled like Gucci perfume.
After a year of university, many people realize that university isn't all that great. If you don't strive for improvement, you'll just be idling around all day, lying around in your dorm all day. These old classmates witnessed Zhang Yunqi's rise to wealth firsthand; it had absolutely nothing to do with studying. Compared to hanging out with him, the value of going to university is practically negligible.
Zhang Yunqi never expected that his fortune would make him a negative example of China's exam-oriented education system. However, he readily agreed to all of his classmates' requests.
Aihua Electronics is short-handed on its assembly line. If you don't want to study hard, then you might as well work hard at tightening screws first. Before those opportunistic rich guys made a fortune, didn't they spend half a year on the assembly line?
After dinner and karaoke, it was already 11 p.m. when everyone parted ways. The scene of everyone crying and saying goodbye at last year's farewell dinner seemed like a long time ago. This time, everyone was much more reserved. They waved goodbye and went their separate ways. A small group of guys, arms around each other's shoulders, walked at the very back, their shifty eyes darting into the depths of the night in Meiliping. The road was lined with hair salons, their red lights flashing. Knowing that they were going to drink, Zhang Yunqi didn't drive. He rode his bicycle with Chujian on the back, passing through Yuxianli and Chunfeng Road, speeding under the starry night sky. It seemed like nothing had changed, yet everything had changed.
Back at Shuixie Yundu, everyone in the family was asleep. Zhang Yunqi took a quick shower and then sneaked into Chujian's boudoir in the dark, climbing onto her soft, fragrant bed.
She had just finished showering and was lying on the bed, her pure and clean face flushed with a rosy glow. When Zhang Yunqi silently slipped into her bed and undressed completely, the whole process flowing smoothly, her face turned even redder: "Aren't you afraid that your aunties and uncles will find out and scold you tomorrow morning…"
"It's alright, honey. I got up at four o'clock to go back. I don't believe anyone in this family can get up earlier than me." Zhang Yunqi was in a hurry to get down to business. He pulled Chu Jian into his arms, lowered his head, pried open her little mouth, and kissed her little tongue.
This kiss lasted for nearly an hour in "Jiangchuan Love Story." Although short, it encompassed various types of deep emotions.
For more details, please refer to Korean martial arts films.
Of course, the female lead needs to be replaced with an upgraded version of Liu Yifei, and the male lead is Daniel Wu (Yunxi).
After a whirlwind of activity, Chu Jian, panting, lay on top of Zhang Yunqi, her fair and smooth back exposed to the air, her voice soft and gentle: "Yunqi."
"Ok?"
"Attending a class reunion today, I suddenly realized how much everyone has changed in the year since I last saw them."
Zhang Yunqi laughed and asked, "Which aspect are you referring to?"
At first glance, she pursed her lips and said, "It's about mindset, I guess."
Zhang Yunqi laughed again, "You mean to say that all these old classmates are flattering me? It's inexplicable, everyone's mentality seems to have changed, they've become more snobbish, they're all trying to curry favor with me, a rich person, it feels like the friendship we had before has changed."
Chu Jian thought for a moment, then pursed her lips and said, "Although what you said is very direct, when I think about it carefully, it is indeed true. But people are always changing, and this doesn't seem to have anything to do with right or wrong."
Zhang Yunqi held Chu Jian's soft body and said, "Wife, are you afraid that I've changed too?"
Chu Jian's hand, which was resting on Zhang Yunqi's chest, suddenly paused. She looked up at him and asked, "What has changed?"
Looking at the girl's face when they first met, Zhang Yunqi noticed that her eyes hadn't changed at all compared to when they first met four years ago. They were clean, clear, and without any impurities, always evoking a feeling of tenderness in him.
He lowered his head and kissed the girl's forehead again: "I never thought about marriage before, but now I want you to marry me."
