The Qing 'an River, which originated from the mountains in the western part of Zhejiang Province, stretched for hundreds of kilometers all the way to the east, passing through Binhai City and dividing the fourth-tier county-level city in the southeast coast into two parts — the old city in the north and the new district in the south.
The Jinhao Hotel was located by the river in the new district in the south. This 37-story building was the first five-star hotel in Binhai City. After two renovations, it was still the representative of high-end consumer places in Binhai City.
Lu Chen was no stranger to the Jinhao Hotel. He was even very familiar with it.
When his father's business was at its peak, he had to entertain important guests at the Jinhao Hotel five or six times a month. He also rented long-term suites. Lu Chen often went there to eat and drink.
Among the three sisters, Lu Chen was the only one who had such treatment. Because Lu Qingsheng intended to train him to be the successor of the business, he let him come into contact with the business field early. Unfortunately, who could have thought that fate was so unpredictable.
Once again coming to the Jinhao Hotel, looking at the magnificent building by the Qing 'an River, Lu Chen's heart was disappointed.
After parking the car in the underground parking lot, he took the elevator to the third floor and was led to the Rose Hall by the waiter.
When he opened the door, a wave of hot air accompanied by a wave of sound suddenly hit him in the face!
The Rose Hall was one of the best banquet halls in the Jinhao Hotel. There were four self-rotating tables in it, which could accommodate up to 60 guests at the same time. When Lu Chen came in, the four big tables were almost full.
The big screen TV hanging on the east wall was playing a music video. A banner with the words "Binhai Second High School Grade 08 Class 1 (5) Class Reunion" was hanging on it, which was particularly eye-catching.
So lively!
Lu Chen was really surprised. There were a total of 58 students in his class, and all of them were here.
But even if there was a class reunion during the Spring Festival, it was impossible to gather all of them.
Because of the traffic jam, it was already past six o 'clock when Lu Chen arrived. The banquet hadn't started yet. There were cold dishes and drinks on the table. Male and female students were chatting in full swing. The atmosphere was warm and noisy.
When he walked into the Rose Hall, a few students noticed him, and they all revealed curious or puzzled expressions.
"Who is this?"
The current Lu Chen was almost ten centimeters taller than when he was in high school. After more than half a year of persistent martial arts training, his physique was far more well-proportioned and sturdy than before. Coupled with the sunglasses he was wearing, his classmates really couldn't recognize him at first.
Lu Chen took two steps, took off his sunglasses, and smiled at the classmate who was sizing him up.
It was not that he was pretending to be cool, but it was not good to go out without sunglasses. It was easy to be recognized and watched.
"Lu Chen!"
At this time, a powerful roar sounded, immediately suppressing all the noise in the Rose Hall.
The banquet hall instantly quietened down!
Everyone's eyes fell on Lu Chen in unison. They were pleasantly surprised and astonished …
A burly man jumped up and rushed in front of him. He grabbed his shoulder and laughed, "Big star, you're finally here. Everyone has been waiting for you!"
Lu Chen sweated, "I'm really sorry. There was a traffic jam on the way."
This tall and burly man was the class monitor, Huang Shan. He had a carefree and straightforward personality, and he was very popular among his classmates. Therefore, even though he wasn't very good at studying, he was still elected as the class monitor and sports committee member.
Huang Shan smiled and said, "Binhai is getting more and more congested now, especially at this time. There are the most cars."
He exchanged greetings with Lu Chen. Many boys and girls surrounded him and said, "Lu Chen, long time no see!"
"Hello!" "Zhang Xiaoqiang!" "Lin Qiao!" "Wang Fang!" …
Lu Chen greeted them one by one with a smile. After four years, it was the first time for most of his classmates here. The familiar faces made countless memories emerge in his heart.
Some students didn't come over to take pictures of Lu Chen, who was like a moon surrounded by stars.
There were also four or five waitresses in the Rose Hall. When they recognized Lu Chen, their eyes were all sparkling. If it weren't for their identities, they would have already surrounded him and asked for his autograph and photos.
There were also waitresses who ran out of the door and used the walkie-talkie to inform the reception desk that Lu Chen, the big star, was here!
It was not easy for Lu Chen to sit down in his seat.
There was a nameplate on the table with his name written on it. He was sitting next to Huang Shan, but the girl in the yellow dress next to Huang Shan was very strange. It seemed that she didn't exist in his memory.
He couldn't help but ask, "This is?"
Huang Shan grinned and said, "Lu Chen, this is my girlfriend, Chen Jingjing!"
Lu Chen said, "Hello."
Chen Jingjing was petite and delicate, so she didn't look good sitting next to the burly Huang Shan. She was delicate and pretty, so she asked with a red face, "Hello, Lu Chen. I like your songs very much, and I also like Autumn in My Life. Can … Can I have your autograph?"
Lu Chen nodded and said, "Of course, no problem. I'll sign it for you after dinner."
Huang Shan quickly added, "And a photo!"
Lu Chen smiled and said, "No problem."
Chen Jingjing was obviously very happy. She held Huang Shan's thick arm and said, "Thank you!"
Huang Shan sighed and said, "You're a big star. Today, 40 of our classmates and 20 family members came. They all came because they knew that you were coming."
Lu Chen suddenly understood. No wonder there were so many people here, and some of them looked unfamiliar. They were all his family members!
He looked around and asked in confusion, "Where's Ms. Ye?"
Ms. Ye was the class teacher. Huang Shan had said that she would come, but he didn't see her now.
Huang Shan explained, "Ms. Ye was going to come, but her old stomach disease came back and she was hospitalized yesterday."
Lu Chen looked serious. "Her stomach disease must be very serious. I'll go and see her tomorrow."
As the two of them chatted, steaming hot dishes were quickly served.
The atmosphere in the banquet hall became lively again. The students who hadn't seen each other for a long time were eating, drinking, talking and laughing.
There were more than a dozen students at the same table as Lu Chen, and everyone's topic was basically their own situation.
Some students returned to Binhai after graduating from college, or went to work in enterprises, or prepared to take the civil servant exam. Some opened their own shops and businesses, some stayed in the place where they graduated to seek development, and some continued to take the postgraduate exam.
After graduating from high school, Huang Shan didn't go to college, but followed his father to do business. After four years, although he wasn't very successful, at least he was living a good life.
He was very satisfied with his current life. According to him, no matter how much money he made, the most important thing was to be happy. He planned to get married and have children next year.
"Lu Chen, if you have time, you must come to my wedding with Jingjing!"
Chen Jingjing's eyes were shining. Obviously, she was also looking forward to it.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "I will come if I have time, but I'm too busy with work, so I really can't guarantee it."
In the six months since last year, his main achievements were an album and a TV series. He didn't do many jobs and endorsements, so he wasn't very busy.
But this year's situation was different. There were new albums, new TV series, and even movies, as well as Chen Fei 'er's new album, MSN, Little Tigers, and so on. With the promotion of his status, all kinds of endorsements and invitations would inevitably come, and he would definitely be busier and busier.
"But the red envelope will definitely be delivered!"
Huang Shan laughed. "That's good. By the way, do you have a girlfriend now?"
This question was actually a little sensitive. After all, Lu Chen was now different from ordinary people. Huang Shan was a little careless and couldn't hide things in his heart, so he asked directly, "Everyone says that you and Chen Fei 'er are a couple?"
All the students present pricked up their ears and looked very curious.
Lu Chen coughed twice and explained, "The entertainment industry is very complicated. Some entertainment reporters like to write nonsense in order to grab the news, and some deliberately hype themselves up, so you can't take it seriously …"
He picked up some interesting anecdotes in the circle to tell everyone, cleverly avoiding Huang Shan's question.
As a star artist, it would be stupid to talk about his feelings in public, unless he was hyped up.
Even if it was a class reunion.
And the students at the other tables saw that they were chatting happily here, and they all came over to toast.
Lu Chen got up and said with a smile, "Thank you, everyone, but I can't drink when I drive here at night. Besides, as a singer, I have to protect my voice, so I'm really sorry. I'll use a drink instead!"
With so many people coming to toast him, a glass of wine from each person could make him drunk, and he really rarely drinks now.
The students could understand, but they asked for a group photo alone.
Last year, when Lu Chen rose rapidly in the pop music world and won the championship of "Singing China", he became a celebrity in his hometown. Now, with the hit of "Autumn in My Heart" on Haijin Satellite TV, his face has been fiercely brushed, and he has become a household name in Binhai.
Many of Lu Chen's classmates are proud of him, and often mention him when they chat with others.
"Are you watching" Autumn in My Heart "? The hero is my classmate! "
"Have you heard of" You Who Sat Next To Me "? That's my classmate. I used to play basketball with him! "
"Do you know Lu Chen? … … "
Binhai is a small coastal city in eastern Zhejiang. It has a developed economy, a large population, and a large number of private enterprises. The place is very rich, but there is no deep cultural and historical heritage, and there are few celebrities.
A star like Lu Chen, who is popular all over the country, is really the only one in his hometown!
Huang Shan shouted, "I can take a group photo. Everyone line up, and I'll charge five yuan per person. I'll collect the money. Thank you!"
Lu Chen immediately became angry: "Five yuan? How can that be? At least six yuan, and one more yuan is a rebate for you! "
Everyone was amused by the jokes of the two, and the atmosphere at the banquet became more and more harmonious.
Their classmates are teenagers, and they have graduated from high school for four years. For most people, they have not yet been contaminated with the philistinism of society, and still have the spirit and sincerity of young people.
