Everyone at Xu Taiping's table looked like successful people. Some wore suits, some wore expensive casual clothes, only Xu Taiping wore a normal T-shirt and a pair of shorts, and because of that, Xia Jinxuan went out with Xu Taiping early in the morning without any makeup, only wearing ordinary clothes. Although she looked very stunning, but in this era of looking at faces and looking at identities, her looks were simple, and her attractiveness was still a bit weaker.

"Chief Chen, where have you gotten rich recently?" I heard you seem to be in the gas business? "

"Fine, I've been in the gas business."

"Then you must be earning well, right? From the way you're dressed, you should be Armani.

"More or less. Director Zheng, what have you been doing recently?"

"Me? "I have been working on the project recently. As a small contractor, I am the one who did the work on the new area!"

"That's amazing. It shouldn't be a problem to earn a million and eight hundred thousand a year, right?"

"It's okay, it's okay!"

Xu Taiping's classmates had all gotten along pretty well. Some of them had already made a lot of money, some had even become officials, and some had a very high social standing. Xu Taiping counted the entire table, and there were three CEOs, two directors, and four secretaries of various ministers.

As a small security guard, Xu Taiping deeply felt that the gap between him and everyone else was too big, so he didn't say much as he just sat there, busily listening to others talk. Xia Jinxuan was not interested in talking to these people, but the people who did the project were all holding her phone and chatting with her friends.

After chatting for over half an hour, it seemed like these people were unable to find anything to boast about. Suddenly, someone changed the topic to Xu Taiping.

"It's peaceful. I remember you suddenly dropped out of school during the first semester of my university. What's going on?" "I remember there were some bullies who bullied you. Are you afraid of being bullied and not going to school?" someone asked.

"More or less. At that time, something happened at home and I didn't have the mood to study, so I dropped out of school and went to work in the south." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Surely working days are not going to be easy? After all, you were just a university student at the time, and didn't know anything? " Another person asked.

"I won't learn." Xu Taiping shrugged, "You have to learn a lot when you're outside. You will naturally learn a lot."

"But you've been out for so many years, why haven't you improved at all? Why are you running over to be a security guard? That doesn't have a good future, does it? " someone asked.

"It's alright. I stay in school every day, even if I have to eat and live there. I don't need to buy a car or a house, I just need to make enough money to support myself and my girlfriend." Xu Taiping laughed.

"Your girlfriend is really good-looking. If she had put on makeup and some jewelry, she would definitely look even better!" A female classmate said with a smile.

"My family is poor, I can't use cosmetics, nor can I wear jewelry." Xia Jinxuan lowered her head and replied directly.

"Peace, this is your fault!" The boyfriend of the female classmate smiled and hugged his woman, saying, "This woman, although natural beauty is important, she still needs to maintain and dress up later. Like my wife, I always give her the best cosmetics, and look at this necklace, I just bought it for her a few years ago, it looks really nice on her!"

"This is a collection from Cartier. It's not cheap, is it?" someone asked from the side.

"Not bad, just a few hundred thousand." "Little Qian!"

He was afraid that if these people asked too many questions, he would not know how to answer them. He could answer honestly, he could scare them, but he could lie, he did not know how to make it up, because he really had no interest in these so-called classmates at all. He had not made any friends during his university days, and was rather eccentric, and had dropped out of school in his first year.

"It's so peaceful, your girlfriend is really pretty, don't be stingy with your money, or you'll cry when you run off with someone!" Another female classmate said with a smile.

"It should be mine. It shouldn't be mine that can't stay." Xu Taiping smiled as he touched Xia Jinxuan's hand.

"I won't marry you." Xia Jinxuan said seriously.

The surrounding people looked at Xia Jinxuan. To be honest, Xia Jinxuan's looks were indeed very good. At this table, and even the entire banquet site, perhaps only Zhou Ziyun could compare to her.

This kind of woman was actually the girlfriend of a security guard like Xu Taiping. This really made people's hearts unbalanced, so that was why the people at the table would so casually provoke Xu Taiping.

For example, in a class, there would definitely be a person who always liked to be late, someone who was especially good at socializing, someone who was especially good at making small talk, and a person who was also especially handsome when it came to playing basketball. In addition, there would also be a person who was both good and handsome, and Xu Taiping's role in the class was that of someone who was bullied by the people at the bottom.

Xu Taiping didn't think much of it. Xia Jinxuan was used to seeing this kind of pretentious person, so she didn't take it to heart. The whole table was pretty much at peace with each other.

In the blink of an eye, it was already 8 PM and the guests had almost all arrived. Xu Taiping found out that there was still one missing person at their table, and only after asking around did he find out that the counselor from their university would come over soon as well.

"I heard that our counselor is going to transfer to the Pingyang District to be a deputy district chief soon. This is like a fish leaping over a dragon gate!"

"That's right, the Deputy Chief is even more amazing than the Principal of our school. Back then, I had the impression that our counselor was not simple. I knew it!"

Everyone began to talk about the counselor. Xu Taiping did not have a deep impression of counselors, because when he was reading, he did not know how to curry favor with counselors, and he had very little contact with counselors.

Around 8: 15 PM, a middle-aged man and a young woman walked over to Xu Taiping's table.

"Sorry, there was a meeting at school, so I was late." The middle-aged man said apologetically to everyone present.

"Teacher Li, you've finally come. We've been talking about you for a long time!"

"That's right. It's been so many years since we last met, but Teacher Li is still as handsome and handsome as he was back then!" Everyone at the table stood up to welcome Teacher Li, leaving only Xu Taiping and Xia Jinxuan sitting there.

Naturally, he didn't have that thought. After everyone had stood up, he was already a few seconds late compared to everyone else, but now that he stood up again, it was obvious, he might as well sit down. In any case, everyone would be sitting down soon.

This was Xu Taiping's idea, but it was clear that he misjudged everyone's respect for Teacher Li. The group of people chatted for a while before finally sitting down.

"We need to squeeze in. It's peaceful here, so you should step back a bit. Otherwise, there won't be enough seats for all eleven of us!" Someone suggested that, initially, there was only one seat prepared for Teacher Li, but who would have thought that with Teacher Li's help, the entire table became crowded. Therefore, someone asked Xu Taiping to sit outside and make room for him.

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded, and moved back a bit. Xia Jinxuan also moved back a bit, allowing her position to relax a bit.

"It's peaceful. If you can't sit properly, there's a seat right next to you!" Someone said with a smile.

"I can sit down, but I'll squeeze in and sit down!" Teacher Li smiled as he spoke, looking at Xu Taiping and said, "Your name is Taiping?" This name sounds a little familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen you before! "

"I dropped out of school in the first semester!" Xu Taiping said.

"Oh, I remember now. It's that Xu Taiping who did very well. I remember now, you did drop out of school after school in the first semester. It was a pity for us teachers at that time. Right, what are you doing now?" Teacher Li asked.

"I'm a security guard at Jiangyuan University." Xu Taiping said.

"As a security guard?" Teacher Li's expression was a little strange. He then smiled and said, "360 lines. You're a top scholar. You did well as a security guard. That's pretty good. It's a big responsibility to protect the school's safety. Haha!"

"I think so too!" Xu Taiping nodded. He had wanted to say a few more words to ease the awkwardness in Teacher Li's heart, but who would've thought that Mr. Li would turn around and immediately greet the people next to him. From start to finish, he didn't even glance at Xu Taiping.

Xu Taiping could only swallow his words. He looked at Xia Jinxuan, who was playing around with him, and glared at her.

Not long after Teacher Li's arrival, the wedding ceremony finally began.

The song of the wedding march resounded through the entire hall. Zhou Qianyun and Zheng Baiyu walked into the hall hand in hand.

The man was handsome and the woman was gentle and beautiful. In everyone's eyes, this was a match made in heaven.

"Really, this Zhou Zhiyun is really pretty. She's just a little bit younger than me!" Xia Jinxuan said as she held onto Xu Taiping's hand.

"Why are your hands shaking when you speak?" Xu Taiping asked.

"So excited, when will I be able to wear my wedding dress!?" Xia Jinxuan said in envy.

"There will be a day like that." Xu Taiping smiled as he placed his hand on top of Xia Jinxuan's, then looked towards the door of the wedding hall.

Several brawny bald men were standing at the entrance, staring at Zheng Baiyu beside Zhou Qianyun with unfriendly faces. Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
