Liu Mingyu frowned slightly, worried that the company had something urgent to discuss with her, but she still walked over and picked up her phone.
Looking at the number, Liu Mingyu seemed to be relieved. She picked up the call and smiled, "Haili, why are you calling me at this time?"
From Liu Mingyu's tone, it should be someone she knew.
After chatting with the woman named Haili for a while, Liu Mingyu looked a little hesitant, but in the end, she responded softly, as if she had agreed to something.
After hanging up, Liu Mingyu didn't wait for Yang Cheng to ask and said, "Haili is my university classmate and also a good friend of mine. She invited me to a simple gathering. Our university's class monitor came back from Su Province to run some errands. Since he won't be staying for long, he wanted to use this afternoon to gather everyone together. "
Yang Cheng was quite surprised. He had never studied, so he was unfamiliar with 'classmates'. So when he heard that Liu Mingyu was going to a class reunion, he felt a little envious.
"Go then, I'm free these few days anyway. After your gathering, I'll go out with you to play," Yang Cheng didn't want to miss a rare gathering.
Liu Mingyu pursed her lips and said, "Yang Cheng, come with me."
Yang Cheng was stunned, "This … Is this appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate about it? It's not a big deal to bring your boyfriend to a class reunion. Besides, it's not like you can't bring him," Liu Mingyu said faintly, "Many of my classmates are married. In the past, when I went to parties, I was often the only one there … It's weird to go."
Yang Cheng suddenly realized that Liu Mingyu wanted him to support her! But this was nothing, he was indeed her man. Moreover, he wanted to understand the women around him better, so of course he had to look at their social circles.
"Then should I wear a suit and tie?" Yang Cheng asked a little awkwardly.
"Why a suit and tie?" Liu Mingyu was puzzled.
"I've never participated in a class reunion, so I don't know what to do. I'm afraid that I'll embarrass you!" Yang Cheng smiled embarrassedly.
Liu Mingyu giggled and rolled her eyes at him. "You're so thick-skinned that no one can tell if you're embarrassed. I think you should just do it this way. Everyone is just having a casual gathering, not going to the National People's Congress. I'll go in and change my clothes and put on some makeup. I'll be out soon. You wait here. "
Although it was fast, when the two of them set off, forty minutes had already passed.
Liu Mingyu changed into a light blue Chanel double-layered chiffon dress, revealing a pair of slender and fair calves. She wore a small suit with embroidery, which made her neck look especially slender, like a Japanese or Korean celebrity. Because the sun was blinding outside, she also wore a pair of fashionable Gucci sunglasses with colorful lines.
This kind of attire was rarely seen at work. This outfit cost at least twenty thousand Hua Xia dollars. Even as an executive of Yu Lei, if Liu Mingyu were to dress like this in the company, it would definitely attract too much attention.
Yang Cheng looked at his own clothes. Although they were all branded goods that Lin Ruoxi had bought for him, they still looked a little shabby. However, he was not a fussy person. Since Liu Mingyu said it was fine, he just let it be.
Because Liu Mingyu's car was still at the company, she naturally took Yang Cheng's car to the meeting. The venue was a high-end clubhouse in the East District of Zhong Hai. If one's annual salary was less than two hundred thousand, there was no way they could get in. It was obvious that the classmates who invited Liu Mingyu were doing well.
When Yang Cheng's car arrived, a few men and women were just about to enter the clubhouse.
After getting out of the car, Liu Mingyu took off her sunglasses and waved at a tall girl with curly hair who was about to enter. "Haili!"
The curly-haired girl turned around, revealing a round face. When she saw Liu Mingyu, she happily ran over and hugged Liu Mingyu intimately.
"Mingyu, it's rare for you to come on a work day. I thought you wouldn't come," Haili said happily. Hai Li said happily. Her gaze naturally drifted to Yang Chen who was behind Liu Mingyu who had just finished locking the car. Puzzled, she asked, "This mister … … is he your boyfriend?"
Liu Mingyu's face blushed, and she shyly replied, "Yes."
Yang Cheng was not at all distant. He took the initiative and said, "Hello, Miss Hai. My name is Yang Cheng. Mingyu said she could come, so I came uninvited."
Haili covered her mouth and laughed. "Who's' Miss Hai '? My surname is Zhao, Zhao Haili. Who has the surname Hai? "
Yang Cheng was stunned. It seemed to be true. He didn't know how to react.
Seeing Yang Cheng's blank expression, Haili laughed again. She took Liu Mingyu's hand and said, "Your boyfriend is so funny. Everyone will admire your taste when they see him later."
Yang Cheng curled his lips. Was this woman praising him or belittling him?
Liu Mingyu smiled indifferently. "Anyway, he's my boyfriend. They can say whatever they want."
Haili suddenly sighed. "I heard about what happened to Qi Kai. I didn't expect the Qi family to be so miserable. Fortunately, you got over it so quickly. Seeing that you have a boyfriend, I'm relieved as your sister."
Both Yang Cheng and Liu Mingyu knew that Qi Kai's family was slaughtered by Liu Qingshan's Green Dragon Gang. Although this matter was deliberately suppressed, it was impossible for people in society not to know.
When Liu Mingyu heard the name "Qi Kai", her expression didn't change at all. "It's all in the past. There's nothing to talk about."
"That's true." Zhao Haili was also afraid to make Liu Mingyu uncomfortable. Then she said with a smile, "Let's go. The old class monitor and the others are all inside. Mr. Yang Cheng, who is attending our party for the first time, welcome. Let's go together!"
Zhao Haili was a passionate person, so Yang Chen didn't mind her teasing him. He followed the two women into the clubhouse with a smile on his face.
Although Liu Mingyu brought Yang Cheng to show her identity, she wouldn't be pretentious and stick to Yang Cheng. That wasn't her style. Therefore, along the way, she held hands and talked with Zhao Haili, who she hadn't seen for a long time.
The interior of the club was very spacious, and all kinds of entertainment facilities were available.
Under Zhao Haili's lead, the three of them walked into a large private room. In the private room, pop music echoed, and seven or eight people were drinking and chatting.
"Aren't you guys a little too much? You started drinking before we came! "As soon as Zhao Haili entered the door, she laughed and scolded.
When those people saw Zhao Haili and Liu Mingyu, they all stood up, but the expressions on their faces were different.
A handsome man in a casual suit and a red shirt looked straight at Liu Mingyu and showed an excited smile, "Mingyu, you're here too."
Liu Mingyu nodded gently and took a step back. Her wrist naturally held Yang Cheng's arm, and she got closer to Yang Cheng. Then she nodded to everyone gently, "Everyone, long time no see."
Although Liu Mingyu had a background in public relations, and she often argued for what was right in the business world, she was obviously very quiet in private. It could be seen from the way she treated her classmates. However, many people's nature and work were the opposite of each other, so it was nothing new.
"Our campus belle is getting more and more beautiful. Hey, is this gentleman your new boyfriend, Mingyu?" A tall and thin man with a mustache said.
Liu Mingyu nodded, "His name is Yang Cheng, my colleague in the company, and also my boyfriend."
This time, Yang Cheng did not take the initiative to speak. He let Liu Mingyu introduce him as a form of respect, and then he nodded to the men and women.
However, when he heard them say that Liu Mingyu was the campus belle, Yang Cheng was happy. It turned out that he had a campus belle girlfriend by accident. Then he thought about it and felt that it was nothing to be proud of. All the women around him seemed to be at the level of the campus belle.
Although everyone was a little surprised, they still responded politely and invited Yang Cheng to sit down on the big sofa.
Zhao Haili could be said to be the engine of conversation among this group of people. She introduced everyone's name to Yang Cheng as soon as she sat down, so that Yang Cheng could get to know them one by one.
The man who first spoke to Liu Mingyu was the class monitor, Zhu Kangyu, who rarely came back from Su Province. When he heard Liu Mingyu introduce Yang Cheng as her boyfriend, his expression began to become unnatural. After everyone sat down, he asked, "Mr. Yang, this is the first time we meet. Have you known Mingyu for a long time? Why haven't we heard of you? "
As soon as he said this, a few of Liu Mingyu's classmates also looked at Yang Cheng curiously. Liu Mingyu was the famous campus belle in university. Naturally, there were a lot of people chasing after her. They all knew that there was something going on between Liu Mingyu and Qi Kai. However, Qi Kai had already passed away. Thus, the "belonging" of Liu Mingyu had once again become the topic of these people's attention.
And the class monitor, Zhu Kangyu, could be said to be the one who mingled the best in this group. Otherwise, there would not be so many people. As soon as Zhu Kangyu returned to Zhonghai, he immediately made time to meet up, even on working days. Zhu Kangyu liked Liu Mingyu. That was when they were still students. Now that Qi Kai was not around, naturally, he had a greater chance.
Yang Cheng was not stupid. This Zhu Kangyu was obviously hostile towards him. He was probably one of the pursuers who had been eyeing Liu Mingyu covetously. So he smiled and said, "It's been almost a year. It's just that we've all been quite busy, so we haven't had many opportunities to go out together."
Zhu Kangyu nodded and suddenly said, "I'm the Deputy Director of the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee in Su Province. May I know what position Mr. Yang holds in Yu Lei? I think Mr. Yang must have something extraordinary to be able to gain the favor of our campus belle. "
As soon as these words came out, it was obvious that he wanted to show off his abilities.
Without waiting for Yang Cheng to say anything, a fat man with a beer belly exclaimed, "Oh my god! Old class monitor, you're too amazing! It's only been a year, and you've been promoted again! "
"A few days ago, my dad came back and told me that my old class monitor had entered the Organization Department of the Provincial Party Committee. He even entered the Standing Committee of the Provincial Party Committee in Su Province. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!" Another classmate said with a sigh.
Zhu Kangyu waved his hand calmly and said, "I'm just lucky to fill the vacancy. There's nothing to be surprised about."
"Class monitor, don't be so humble. Even someone like me who doesn't know much about politics knows that you'll be able to enter the Provincial Party Committee at your age. In my opinion, there aren't many people in the entire country who are working in the Provincial Party Committee at your age," Zhao Haili exclaimed in admiration.
Zhu Kangyu's face glowed with the flattery from the crowd. It was obvious that he was enjoying it very much. The people sitting here all came from wealthy families. They used to be classmates who started off at the same starting line, but now they were all trying to flatter him. Wasn't this the best proof that he was going to stand out?
However, when Zhu Kangyu's gaze shifted to Liu Mingyu's face, which he was paying the most attention to, he was dismayed to discover that Liu Mingyu was merely smiling indifferently. She did not have the slightest intention of flattering him. In fact … she did not even look surprised!
Actually, Liu Mingyu couldn't be blamed for this. If it was the previous Liu Mingyu, she might have been more or less shocked that Zhu Kangyu had entered the Provincial Party Committee at such a young age. But now, her man, Yang Cheng, had the identity and background of the Yang Family, one of the four major families. He also had extraordinary abilities and strength. Even her father, Liu Qingshan, was the leader of the underworld in Beijing. Even the ministers in Beijing had to give Liu Qingshan face. As Liu Qingshan's daughter, she didn't value these officials as much as she used to.
Zhu Kangyu didn't know about Liu Mingyu's twists and turns. He just thought that it was because Liu Mingyu was charmed by Yang Cheng and became stupid. She didn't know how bright her future was. So, he chased after them and said, "Everyone, don't be so polite. I'm still your class monitor, it's no big deal. As for Mr. Yang, you're a guest today. I'm really curious that Mingyu chose you as her boyfriend. Don't you want to know more? Mr. Yang, I haven't asked about your position yet. "
In fact, no matter how Yang Cheng answered this question, it was a kind of humiliation. Because Yang Cheng couldn't be the CEO of Yu Lei International. At most, he was a senior executive. And a senior executive of a multinational company was not too rare. Compared to Zhu Kangyu, who was a department level official at such a young age, he was really far behind.
Everyone actually knew that Zhu Kangyu was deliberately embarrassing Yang Cheng. He wanted to let Liu Mingyu see the gap between them in front of her. Even if he couldn't make Liu Mingyu change her mind, he couldn't let this outsider Yang Cheng have an easy time!
