Gu Nianzhi's shock only lasted for a moment. She didn't even show it in her eyes.
She only glanced over and nodded with a smile, like she was seeing any other student. She didn't deliberately act distant or friendly.
The other students smiled and greeted Mei Xiawen.
"Class Rep is here!"
"Class Rep changed cars again? Tsk tsk, isn't this a Porsche? This year's new model is not cheap! "
The boys surrounded Mei Xiawen's car, full of praise.
Yi Xinyan stood next to Mei Xiawen with an almost imperceptible smile of victory, but she felt a little awkward.
Although Mei Xiawen's classmates surrounded the car, no one asked him to introduce her.
She was certain that this was her first time meeting these classmates.
She glanced at Mei Xiawen's face and saw that he was trying to find Gu Nianzhi in front of him in the crowd.
Gu Nianzhi was already chatting and laughing with Green Tea Fang, Little Temptress, Lady Cao, and a few other female classmates as they walked towards the hotel lobby.
Mei Xiawen pursed his lips. Yi Xinyan pinched his hand.
He snapped out of it and looked at the boy beside him who was looking at the car. He smiled and said, "Let's go in."
He didn't introduce Yi Xinyan.
She wasn't here, so who was he going to introduce her to?
After waving goodbye to the male students who had gathered around them, everyone entered the hotel together.
The hotel was a small high-rise with nine floors. It wasn't too tall, but it wasn't too short either.
Gu Nianzhi had booked the revolving restaurant on the top floor. It was the most expensive restaurant in the hotel.
There were many people today, and they were all classmates, so the restaurant wouldn't be revolving.
Everyone took the elevator to the ninth floor.
The restaurant was decorated like a normal hotel, but it was obviously not classy enough.
The chandelier hanging in the middle of the restaurant was a bit dim. It wasn't because it was old, but because it hadn't been cleaned for a long time and the crystal was covered in dust.
The chairs were covered with yellow brocade covers. It wasn't real brocade, but synthetic fabric. The edges were open and the middle was worn thin, so the padding inside could be seen.
There was a thick glass turntable on a large round table painted red.
The red was a bit oily, but when she wiped it with her hand, there was nothing there. It was actually quite clean, but the paint color was very average.
There were a few large oil paintings of flowers hanging on the walls of the dining room. It was obvious that they were the work of a famous artist. Of course, they were not the real thing, but prints, printed on canvas.
From afar, it was still scary, but the red fire extinguisher hanging in the middle of the oil paintings was a little disgusting.
In high-end hotels, fire extinguishers would be placed discreetly. They would never be hung between the decorations on the wall.
Yi Xinyan could tell at a glance that this hotel was not presentable. She snorted and hooked her arm around Mei Xiawen's.
Gu Nianzhi, Green Tea Fang, Little Temptress, and Lady Cao were the hosts and invited everyone to take their seats.
More than forty people were seated at four large round tables.
There were about ten people at a table. Everyone sat together according to their familiarity with each other.
Gu Nianzhi hadn't expected Mei Xiawen to bring Yi Xinyan to sit with her, Green Tea Fang, Little Temptress, and Lady Cao.
Most of them were girls, and none of them had brought their families along.
Most of the boys had brought their families.
Gu Nianzhi had shaken hands and chatted with many of her male classmates' girlfriends and wives.
Mei Xiawen and Yi Xinyan were the last to enter. Gu Nianzhi hadn't had a chance to greet them.
After they sat down, Little Temptress spoke first. She held a glass of red wine and smiled. "Class Rep, you've changed girlfriends again?"
She looked Yi Xinyan up and down with interest. "This one's not bad. She's a little better than your ex-girlfriend. So you're pregnant already? When are you going to invite us to your wedding? "
Mei Xiawen breathed a sigh of relief.
If no one had asked Yi Xinyan, he wouldn't have asked.
Little Temptress was the best.
Mei Xiawen smiled and bowed. "This is my fiancée, Yi Xinyan. She's the chief financial analyst of Carlyle International Ltd.'s Pacific Rim Economic Zone."
Mei Xiawen was obviously flaunting this long list of titles.
Gu Nianzhi nodded. Her expression was calm. "Nice to meet you. I know Miss Yi. She's a very capable person. "
Mei Xiawen's expression turned strange.
He looked at Gu Nianzhi. She didn't look like she was lying. He looked at Yi Xinyan and asked hesitantly, "… You've known each other before?"
Why did Yi Xinyan act like she didn't know Gu Nianzhi in front of him?
Yi Xinyan raised her eyebrows. She held her wine glass in one hand and supported her waist with the other. She smiled. "Sort of. We keep in touch at work, but we're not close."
She then said with a half-smile, "Why does Chief Gu have a deep impression of me?"
"Sorry, I have a photographic memory. I won't forget anything I see, even if it's a cat or a dog." Gu Nianzhi shrugged and picked up the menu. "I've already ordered some dishes. Everyone can order according to their preferences. We'll talk after we eat."
Everyone had a menu in front of them. Everyone ordered a few dishes according to their preferences. Soon, the table was filled.
It was almost evening, and everyone was hungry. Without further ado, they ate first.
Halfway through the meal, when they were about seventy to eighty percent full, they began to chat.
Of course, the topic revolved around Gu Nianzhi's wedding in four months.
"Nianzhi, where are you planning to hold the wedding?" A female classmate asked curiously. She was sitting at the same table as Gu Nianzhi, so it was easier to talk to her.
Gu Nianzhi scooped herself a bowl of soup with a smile. "I'm still looking. I'm getting dizzy from all the choices."
"Tahiti, the Maldives, or Hawaii? These places are very popular now. Even celebrities hold their weddings there! "A male classmate said excitedly. His eyes were practically shining.
Gu Nianzhi smiled. "We're planning to hold our wedding in the Hua Xia Empire. Actually, there are many beautiful places in the Hua Xia Empire. Why go abroad? Safety isn't guaranteed. "
"Yeah, our Nianzhi's fiancé isn't just anyone. It's safer in the Hua Xia Empire, right?" Little Temptress winked at her. She couldn't stand Mei Xiawen showing off his fiancée.
Gu Nianzhi smiled but didn't say anything.
She didn't deny it right away, so it must be the case.
Everyone began to speculate about the best places to get married in the Hua Xia Empire.
Yi Xinyan's eyes flashed. She stirred the silver spoon in her bowl and said softly, "Chief Gu used to study in C City? Then you were in C City three years ago? "
Gu Nianzhi nodded. "Yeah, I've always been in C City. I only came to the Imperial Capital three years ago for Professor He's postgraduate program."
Gu Nianzhi didn't know if it was her imagination, but when she mentioned "Professor He," she detected a flash of murderous intent in Yi Xinyan's eyes.
Although it was only a flash, it was obvious that it was vicious and murderous.
