Chapter 318 The World Revolves Around a Small Group of People Chen didn't know why these people were standing outside. He was just engrossed in reading a book. After the car stopped, he leaned out and stared at everyone. It was so embarrassing. After a while, Chen Zhuo walked over and greeted them one by one: "Teacher Zheng, Chairman Zhao, Chairman Wen, Minister Du, Minister Shang, Minister Tao..." "Forehead……" Zheng Ju and Chen were familiar with each other, and he pointed at the "walking villa" and asked, "Your car?" "no no." Chen Zhuo quickly denied it: "It's my friend's car, I borrowed it." "Oh~"

Everyone nodded, saying that this made sense. How could a college student own such an expensive luxury car? But some people don't quite believe it. Chen Zhe usually doesn't like to be in the spotlight at school, so he might have said that on purpose in order to continue to keep a low profile. "Sorry, there's a traffic jam on the road. Why are you all outside?" Chen Zhuo specifically explained to Zheng Ju and other seniors why he was late. His humble attitude remained the same as before, and he even greeted Wen Quan politely. "It's ok." Zheng Ju said indifferently: "We sat in the box for a long time, so we came out to chat for a while, but we didn't expect..." Zheng Ju suddenly stopped talking and looked behind him, past Chen Zhuo. Chen turned around with some confusion, only to see Ma Haijun walking towards him with a book "Theory of Monetary Economics" in his hand. Chen Zhao suddenly realized that he was distracted when he got off the bus just now and forgot to bring his review books with him. "Mr. Chen, your book." Ma Haijun half bent over and stretched out his hands to hand it over. Just as Wang Youqing said, he really understood the basic etiquette of being a driver. "Thank you." Chen Zhuo felt that this was a very ordinary matter. It was reasonable and logical for someone else to help deliver the lost item. But the classmates around him looked at Ma Haijun's respectful appearance. Everyone exchanged clear glances, with a sense of wisdom that allowed them to see through other people's lies. Sure enough, it was Chen Zhuo’s driver, but he just didn’t want to admit it.

Chen was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, and he immediately sensed these classmates' clever (silly) inferences. "Depend on!" Chen Zhe didn't want to leave everyone with the impression that he "drove a luxury car to college", which was inconsistent with his usual style of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger. But in front of this Mercedes-Benz S600, Chen felt that he couldn't explain it clearly, so he said to Zheng Ju: "Teacher Zheng, shall we go back to the box first?" "can!" Zheng Ju agreed immediately and said exaggeratedly: "My legs are sore after standing for so long." So, Zheng Ju patted Chen Zhuo's shoulder in a friendly manner and motioned for them to go back together. Du Xiu and his colleagues from the Propaganda and Coordination Department also followed suit. Under the keen gaze of students from other departments, the Propaganda and Coordination Department had an inexplicable sense of "highlight" from top to bottom. Maybe it's because I've been an unknown person in the student union for too long, and now I'm getting a little attention. Whatever the reason, my heart was pounding against my chest. What an unheard of experience! “Is this what they call ‘one man’s success brings prosperity to the whole family’?” Bian Xiaoliu raised her eyes and looked at Chen Zhe, who was walking in front with his arm around Zheng Ju's shoulder. "Haha~" Bian Xiaoliu suddenly understood why men all have a desire to "achieve great things". Because this not only allows oneself to live a better life, but also allows relatives and friends around to share this halo. To bring honor to the family, one must wear fine clothes and never travel at night. "If I were Chen Zhuo's girlfriend, they would have no idea how envious I would be..." Bian Xiaoliu fantasized subconsciously. That way, I wouldn't be pretending to be calm while walking among the crowd. Instead, he held Chen's arm, held his head high, and enjoyed the shock brought by the 300 million luxury car together. "Teacher Zheng..." A sudden shout interrupted Bian Xiaoliu's fantasy. After being forcibly pulled back to reality, Bian Xiaoliu turned his head and glanced at Chen Ze, who seemed very close to him in real life but actually very far away from him. It turned out to be the Student Union President Zhao Chen. He didn't even realize that he had angered a vain girl. Zhao Chen came over and asked Zheng Ju for instructions: "I just discussed with Shang Dongling and Tao Li. Since everyone is having a year-end dinner together, why don't we just get the three departments together? This way we can save some money." At this point, Zhao Chen glanced at Chen Zhe, then quickly shifted his gaze and said with a smile: "Anyway, we are all family, we shouldn't be separated from each other." "At this time, we are no longer separate." Liu Qiming from the Propaganda Department spat in his heart.

Normally, the Propaganda and Coordination Department is ranked last among all departments, and is the last to receive any benefits. At that time, why didn't you say that we are one family? Now that you see that Lao Liu is so awesome and has a driver with him, and you are about to graduate, you don’t want to miss any opportunity for deep communication with him. Just as Liu Qiming thought, Zhao Chen will graduate from college next semester. Although he can basically determine his future position, it is likely that he will be a selected candidate of a provincial government. However, for someone like Chen who shines so well in school, his achievements after graduation are unimaginable. This is definitely a rich network of contacts. Like many people, Zhao Chen had some uncertain estimates about the present and future of the "Learning Network", so his communication with Chen Zhuo only stayed at the surface level. But when Zhao Chen saw the "300 million" Mercedes-Benz S600, he knew he was wrong. It seems that Chen Zhuo may have accumulated huge wealth. Although I don’t know the reason, the fact that he can have dinner with Principal Luo and Principal Xu proves this point, doesn’t it? Zhao Chen thought about it in light of recent events, and his logic instantly became self-consistent. Even though Zhao Chen is the president of the Student Union, his chances of meeting school leaders are almost zero. If he has any situation, he has to discuss it with the teachers of the Youth League Committee first. So Zhao Chen had almost no hesitation and immediately persuaded Shang Dongling and Tao Li to have a dinner together for the three departments. Shang Dongling and Tao Li were also in shock. Power and wealth could be said to be the best aphrodisiacs. When the driver opened the door, Chen Zhuo slowly walked out of the car. The flickering light in the night flashed across his deep and peaceful face like a spotlight in a stage play. At that moment, the description of the "young and handsome president" in the novel seemed to take shape. Therefore, when Zhao Chen made this request, the two female ministers immediately agreed. Of course, Zhao Chen still found an official reason of "saving some money", at least it didn't sound so purposeful. But no one is a fool, even Liu Qiming can see what Zhao Chen is thinking. Zheng Ju hesitated for a moment. It didn't matter to him that the three departments of the Student Union had an end-of-year dinner together. However, it depended on Chen Zhe's attitude. After all, Zhao Chen had other intentions. "Chen, what do you think?" Zheng Ju asked Chen Zhuo. How could Chen Zhe not know what was going on? It was completely a misunderstanding caused by an S600. Since everyone is here, it saves me from clarifying everything one by one. "I feel very good." Chen Zhuo was much more familiar with this kind of official language than Zhao Chen, and he could speak it effortlessly. “The three departments get together for a year-end dinner, which is not only a delicious meal, but also helps us get to know each other better, strengthen the cohesion of the team, and lay the foundation for the work of the student union next year.” Chen said with a smile. "That's okay..."

Zheng Ju was actually okay. He had a lot of contact with Chen Zhe and knew that he could write brilliant articles. It's not surprising that someone who can write that kind of article would say these things. But Zhao Chen's expression looked a little strange. Chen gave him the feeling that he was both an official and a businessman. …… Originally, the Propaganda Department only booked a small private room in the restaurant, and estimated that the meal for a few people would cost about 300 yuan. Now a large group of people are rushing in, and it seems that the business is worth 2000 yuan, so the boss is very kind and clears out a large private room that can accommodate four tables. The normal arrangement should be: one table for the Secretariat, one table for the Liaison Department, and one table for the Propaganda and Coordination Department. Then the president and vice president of the Student Union, the ministers and the first vice minister of each department accompanied Zheng Ju to sit alone at the main table in the middle. What is the "first deputy minister"? It is the person who is likely to take over, for example, Ai Wentao in the Propaganda and Coordination Department. Chen was in a state of confusion. He had originally just wanted to be an ordinary freshman and hang out with his acquaintances in the Propaganda and Dispatching Department. But he had no choice! Zheng Ju came over and pulled Chen Zhuo up, ready to sit at the main table. "No, no, no, Mr. Zheng, I'm fine here." Chen stood next to Liu Qiming and waved his hand. "do not." Zhao Chen also came over to invite him: "I have some questions, and I would like to hear your opinion as a top student of Lingyuan." "I don't have any talent." Chen Zhuo quickly said modestly: "Even if my views are a bit superficial, they are still the insights I gained from listening to Chairman Zhao's speeches frequently." "All my talk is nonsense. It has no nutritional value at all." Zhao Chen also responded with a compliment: "Entrepreneurs like you are the ones who are practical." Several people were pulling and tugging at him, and Chen's butt didn't move, but Liu Qiming was knocked all over the place. He was like a tumbler, being tossed here and there by people without warning. "Zhao Chen, you fucking B!" Da Liu had a reserved smile on his face, but he was actually cursing in his heart: "I am also a top student in Lingyuan, why don't you come and ask for my opinion?" After pulling for a while, Zheng Ju suddenly frowned and showed the authority of a teacher. "Sit over there, sit over there." Zheng Ju said "toughly": "I actually have something to inform you of." "That……" Chen Zhuo could only stand up.

But after taking a look at the main table, he immediately sat down again: "The main table is really too crowded, let's just do this, I will take a drink and go over to toast Teacher Zheng and the seniors, and listen to Teacher Zheng's instructions by the way." What Chen said was really true. After all, in addition to Zheng Ju, Zhao Chen and Wen Quan, there were three other ministers and deputy ministers. The main table was even more crowded than the other tables, and could barely accommodate everyone. “It seems a bit crowded.” Zheng Ju nodded slightly: "How about... can Geng Yang from the Secretariat make way?" Zheng Ju didn't have the nerve to ask Wen Quan to get out, after all, she was a girl, but he was not polite to Geng Yang. It's your fault for hitting all the hard-working people who take the buses and subways. Zhao Chen was slightly startled, and immediately said, "I think it's okay." After saying that, Zhao Chen immediately went over to make arrangements. "Hey!" Chen thought to himself how could this be possible? People had already sat down, but they chased him away. This was like a slap in the face. Just as Chen Zhuo was about to stop him, Zheng Ju stopped him with a smile: "It's okay, it's okay." Liu Qiming also took the opportunity to come over and whispered, "You weren't here just now, Geng Yang was saying bad things about you." "Oh……" Chen's eyes moved, and his action of stopping him hesitated for a moment. On Geng Yang's side, Zhao Chen had already walked over and leaned over to say something in his ear. Geng Yang's face froze at first, as if he was frozen in an instant, and his expression gradually became stiff. He raised his head and glanced at Zheng Ju and Chen Zhe. But the two men were chatting, and it seemed that for them, sending someone away was as easy as brushing off a mosquito. Then, Geng Yang seemed to be thrown into magma from ice. His face flushed as he spoke a few words to Zhao Chen. Zhao Chen shook his head, seemingly not agreeing. Finally, Geng Yang suppressed his anger, lowered his head and walked to the secretariat table. Fortunately, there were many people in the box and some students did not notice this scene due to the chaos, otherwise Geng Yang would be even more embarrassed. But those at the head table saw it. Shang Dongling sighed silently. She had read a book before which said something like this: This world always revolves around a small group of people. She had never experienced it personally before, but when Geng Yang was driven away just now, she finally got a taste of it. The reality is so cruel. Even in college, it is bloody and smelly.

Wen Quan's face was also pale. She could be said to be the initiator of the attack on Chen Zhuo. I just didn't expect the warning and slap in the face to come so quickly. If Teacher Zheng also asked him to leave the main table, Wen Quan didn't know how to face these subordinates and younger students. Fortunately, she was in a sensitive position. Zheng Ju saved her face. But when Chen Zhe was pulled over by Zheng Ju and Zhao Chen, Wen Quan tactfully moved down one position. Originally, she and Zhao Chen should sit on the left and right sides of Zheng Ju. Now, he took the initiative to give it to Chen. …… No matter what form or level of socializing, as long as the main table is determined, the rest are basically easy to arrange. Anyway, after Chen Zhuo and others sat down, plates of hot dishes were rudely served to them. Why use "rude"? Because this is the characteristic of the restaurant next to the school. Next to the whirring boiler, dishes like Kung Pao Chicken, Stir-fried Beef Noodles, Fried Eggplant with Green Beans, and Scrambled Eggs with Shrimp... were quickly dried over the fire and placed on plates, then plopped on the table. It often tastes like kerosene leakage. But after I started working, no matter how high-end the restaurant is, I can no longer dine in this way. When the orange juice and coconut juice filled the glass, Zheng Ju stood up and said: "Today is a very important day. The three departments of the Student Union are having a year-end dinner together. This is unprecedented." "But as Chen Zhuo just said, this is a great opportunity to enhance mutual understanding, strengthen team cohesion, and lay the foundation for next year's student union work." …… Chen's face flushed. He had just vaguely heard students at other tables discussing him. This dinner party had a feeling of "no mention of Chenzhe, but every sentence couldn't avoid Chenzhe". "…Classmates, cheers! Happy New Year!" After Zheng Ju gave some passionate speeches, he finally raised his glass and invited everyone to drink together. Although there were some unpleasant things just now, college students always have forgetful tendencies, and Geng Yang was not the person involved. Sadness and happiness do not go together. So when I hear the short blessing phrase "Happy New Year", a hormone of excitement and happiness is subconsciously secreted in my mind. Everyone raised their glasses and shouted enthusiastically: "Cheers! Happy New Year!" "Gududu..." After guzzling down the drinks, everyone's faces were filled with smiles again.

In fact, some people don't want to laugh, but in this environment, they can only pretend to smile awkwardly. The people at the main table also started chatting and picking up food in a lively manner. After three rounds of drinks, they were all juniors and seniors after all. The topic quickly turned to the heavy yet hopeful word "future". But what’s quite funny is that these 985 students, even Zhao Chen who has already determined his career path, all look confused when they talk about their future. What can we expect in the future? not at all! "Honestly, I'm not ready to work at all." Zhao Chen took a sip of his drink and rarely expressed his true feelings under this topic: "It's like someone is pushing me, and I'm suddenly about to enter the workplace. In fact, I feel that I will be affected by some small things, and I will even think of escaping when I encounter difficulties..." Zhao Chen's words undoubtedly aroused everyone's collective resonance. Shang Dongling said that she felt that everyone else was growing, but she seemed to be standing still, and she often couldn't sleep in the middle of the night due to anxiety. Tao Li said that she thought that at the age of 22, she could finally see the mountains, rivers, seas and sunsets everywhere, but it seemed that there was no effect after seeing them, and she was still depressed at night. Another deputy director of the Liaison Department, Lu Yuanbo, said that after graduation he even wanted to leave his parents and become a useless person who just eats and waits to die in a small town with a slow pace of life. Zheng Ju and Chen Zhuo both listened with a smile. Zheng Ju actually just graduated with a master's degree, and his mental age is more like that of an older college student. He may still be on his way to finding himself. It has already reached the state of "the boat has passed through thousands of mountains", and the period of confusion and hitting the wall has long passed. "Chen Zhe." Just when Chen Zhuo was just being a qualified listener, the pretty senior student Tao Li suddenly asked, "What is your dream?" ······ (End of this chapter)
