When the two walked into the banquet hall, there was already a gathering atmosphere, bustling and noisy, like a temple gathering. There were more than 30 people, and some were gathered next to the singing table and watching Jia Yuanyuan sing; some sat on the sofa and expressed their feelings for each other; some were sitting at the square table, escalating... Li Rui and Yang Peng walked in, like raindrops falling into the river without splashing any water. It is worth mentioning that there were not many female classmates, including Jia Yuanyuan and Ding Yijing, but there were only three or four.

The two went to the temporary accountant to pay the party funds, and each person temporarily collected 300 yuan, with more refunds and less compensation.

Yang Peng had a bit of the rascal temperament of Emperor Gaozu of Han, Liu Bang, and could get along with anyone. When he walked into the banquet hall, many people took the initiative to say hello to him, so he walked over and talked to them one by one.

Li Rui was a little noble, except for four or five good friends who could be negotiated, and had an average relationship with other classmates. When he walked in, he looked around and found that Li Xinshuo was waving his hand at him, so he walked over to him.

Li Xinshuo's father and Li Rui's father Li Jianmin were workers in the same factory, so they knew each other since childhood, so Li Xinshuo became another close friend of Li Rui except Yang Peng.

The two of them hadn't seen each other for a long time. After meeting, they had a warm conversation, sat down, and chatted while eating melon seeds.

After a while, Li Rui discovered that Ding Yijing was sitting on a leather sofa near the singing stage, while Li Zhichao was sitting beside her, chatting with her with a smile on her face. Ding Yijing also had a smile on her face, as if she could chat with him.

When Li Rui saw this scene, even though he had decided not to think about her anymore, he was still very sad. He claimed to be aloof and a little arrogant. He usually paid great attention to his personal performance in front of everyone, so he would never dare to go to Ding Yijing to flatter him in public. This is not his style. Therefore, he could only look from afar.

The people in the hall passed the time without organization. At about 6:30, Li Zhichao ran to the stage and started speaking with a microphone in his hand. He simply emphasized the great significance of the class reunion, etc., and talked about the next arrangement. When he arrived here, he suddenly changed his subject and called on all the students to warmly welcome Ding Yijing, who came back from the provincial capital to attend the class reunion.

Although the people in the audience were a little puzzled, they still applauded. Ding Yijing was very surprised and had a bitter smile on her face.

When Li Zhichao returned to Ding Yijing, he had a proud look on his face, as if he had made a great contribution in front of her.

Li Rui saw it and had nothing else to do except laugh at someone in his heart.

The banquet begins later.

More than thirty people were divided into five large tables, each with six or seven people. As the squad leader and organizer, Li Zhichao arranged two beauties, Ding Yijing and Jia Yuanyuan, on his left and right seats. Everyone shouted that it was unfair when they saw it, but no one could do anything about it. Just use it as a joke and just laugh.

It cannot be said that there is nothing we can do. Many male compatriots who were jealous of Li Zhichao went to him to toast. Although Li Zhichao had been practicing in the industrial and commercial department for many years and had already practiced alcohol in the bar, he still couldn't fight against wolves and soon drank high. These people were deliberately doing bad things. On the surface, they allowed Li Zhichao to drink beer or red wine after drinking too much white wine, but in fact they wanted him to drink and drink it so that he could get drunk faster. Poor Li Zhichao knew that everyone was thinking, but for the sake of face, he could not ignore it.

Yang Peng alone respected him three times. After coming back, he whispered to Li Rui: "I'll vent your anger."

Li Rui could only smile bitterly, and looked at Li Zhichao's face flushed and drunken and embarrassed look, which was a little relieved and pitiful.

It’s not good to be too successful, especially if you force yourself to stand out in front of the public lovers, you will die even worse.

"The tenon that comes out has rotted first!" Li Rui silently warned himself not to force himself to stand out.

After eating for more than an hour, Li Zhichao was already fed and ran out to the toilet five times. When he went out again one time, Ding Yijing suddenly got up and wanted to leave.

Her actions attracted the attention of many people. Li Rui didn't care about her on the surface, but in fact, his ears were always raised up and listening to her speech. He heard that she was leaving, and he felt very depressed.

Jia Yuanyuan suddenly called him, "Li Rui, Ding Yijing is leaving. As her old deskmate, don't you have a drink with her?"

Li Rui was surprised and happy when he heard this. He remembered Jia Yuanyuan in his heart and turned around and looked over.

When Ding Yijing saw him turn around, she also looked at him. The two of them had a meeting in the air, and Ding Yijing's expression did not change at all. At this moment, he felt sad as if he was dead.

Jia Yuanyuan was still trying hard to match the two and said to him: "After Ding Yijing transferred to our class, there were only two deskmates, first you and then me. I have had a drink with her, it would be unreasonable if you didn't talk to her."

Ding Yijing didn't say anything after hearing this, as if she was incompetent.

Li Rui knew that he had to seize this opportunity, otherwise he would be like an ordinary classmate in Ding Yijing's eyes in the future, so he hurriedly picked up the glass and walked over. When Ding Yijing saw him coming, he also picked up the glass, but there was only half a glass of beer inside.

Jia Yuanyuan hurriedly filled her with it.

Li Rui looked at Jia Yuanyuan gratefully, thinking that this woman is so nice, why did she suddenly treat herself so well?

Under the attention of everyone, Li Rui and Ding Yijing's wine glasses met. The two looked at each other and were about to drink the wine in the glass when someone suddenly shouted at the door: "No, no, no, everyone, come out and help, Yu Zhen will be called!"

The person who called out was Li Zhichao. Yu Zhen had always been his best friend and had just accompanied him to get out of trouble. Since it was said from his mouth, it was definitely not fake.

When they heard that the classmate was beaten up, the class monitor called for help. People didn't care about food and drink, so they ran out. Whether it was watching the fun or helping, they all passed by. Huh, the banquet hall became empty.

Only Li Rui and Ding Yijing are left.

When Ding Yijing saw that everyone was out, including Jia Yuanyuan, she put the wine glass back on the table, picked up her bag, and asked lukewarmly: "Why don't you go?"

Seeing that she didn't drink, Li Rui was furious and stared at her fiercely. He drank the wine in his hand clean and slammed heavily on the table. He ignored her and turned around and walked out.

Ding Yijing was stunned for a moment, looked at his empty wine glass, and walked out expressionlessly.

When Li Rui arrived at the scene, Yu Zhen was stepped on by a young and healthy flat-headed man and lay at the door of a private room. His nose and face were swollen, and he was cursing, but he couldn't move. The students in the class all surrounded the two of them, and they were excited and asked the young man to let him go. The young man just sneered, didn't speak, and didn't let him go.

Suddenly, a male classmate named Zhang Bing, who was good at Yu Zhen, rushed up and swung his old fist to hit the young man's head. The young man looked at him coldly, motionless, and his fist was about to hit the top of his head, and he suddenly kicked.

Before everyone could see his movements clearly, he had already put his legs back and stepped on Yu Zhen's neck again. When he looked at Zhang Bing, he was kicked back two steps and hit the crowd. Fortunately, someone supported him, otherwise he would have fallen miserably.

Seeing that the young man showed his skills, the students calmed down a lot. Although they were still accusing the young man of bullying others, no one dared to rush up again.

Li Zhichao looked around and shouted loudly: "Everyone will come together to rescue Yu Zhen and kill this grandson."

No one paid attention to him, Jia Yuanyuan walked out and said to the young man, "Friend, if you have something to say, don't hit people." The young man was very polite to her and said, "It was him who hit me first."

Jia Yuanyuan smiled awkwardly.

All the students knew that the young man was right. Yu Zhen, Zhang Bing, Li Zhichao and others were all influential figures in the class and even in the school. They fought with people a lot and even broke their ribs. This arrogant and domineering personality was brought from school to society by them. Now a thirty-year-old man is still trying to swing his old fists at a disagreement. Unfortunately, today Yu Zhen obviously encountered a tough idea, not the kind of honest person who could be bullied by him, so he finally suffered the bitter fruit of his own.

Jia Yuanyuan said again: "Let's apologize to you for him first, please let him go first. This is so ugly." The young man said: "Don't apologize to me, he didn't beat me. He teased our chief's sister and deserved to be beaten. If I don't step on it today, it's a good deal for him."

Li Zhichao was angry and shouted to everyone: "***Are you Yu Zhen? Fortunately, my brothers and brothers were drinking together, but now when things happen, they are all shitty. Are you a turtle?"

It would be fine if he didn't say this, but once he said this, no one went up to help. Many people even blamed him.

Li Rui was late and could only stand outside the crowd. When he heard Li Zhichao's words, he shook his head with a wry smile. He was respected as the squad leader and really regarded himself as the leader of the big guy. He dared to shout such words to everyone. Even if he was the leader of everyone, he would not be able to shout and scold everyone. This person, who is still not good at living until now, is really puzzled how he survived in the officialdom.

Suddenly, someone patted him on the shoulder gently. When he looked back, it was Ding Yijing, a little surprised, but also a little disgusted. He thought to himself, he didn't even want to give him a glass of wine, but now why are you provoking me?

Ding Yijing asked in a low voice, "How is Yu Zhen?" Li Rui said, "It's something that makes people step on." Ding Yijing was surprised, opened her red lips lightly and said, "Why?" Li Rui whispered, "It seems like she is teasing a woman, and she is hitting someone..." Ding Yijing frowned and said, "Who is Li Zhichao angry at?" Li Rui said, "He doesn't think anyone goes up to help." Ding Yijing said, "Yes, why don't you go up to help? No matter what, you are your own people."
