I am doing well in the Siheyuan

"Mao Ditu and Yang Huajian specifically asked you to attend. I have to go to the backyard to tell Su Meng. It's settled."

Cheng Jianjun didn't give Han Chunming a chance to refuse and walked straight to the backyard.

Although Su Meng had never cut in line, she was their high school classmate. After the college entrance examination, she wanted to relax. When she heard that there was a party, she planned to go and see what was going on.

Although Han Chunming was a little hesitant, he still wanted to see those friends who had gone through difficult times with him.

At six o'clock the next evening, there was a lot of traffic in front of Jingjiang Hotel.

In recent years, many private restaurants have sprung up in Beijing.

When living conditions improved, the first thing people who experienced that era thought of was to improve their diet.

In the past, it was rare for us to go out to eat in a restaurant once a year. Now that we have money, people come to the restaurant to dine in an endless stream.

For people who have some spare money and want to start a business, their first thought is often to open a restaurant.

In such an era, opening a restaurant can almost be said to be a business that is sure to make a profit.

Of course, hotels also have different grades.

Most of the people who can eat here are people of a certain social status.

Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu, who hosted the gathering...

When Han Chunming arrived at the hotel, he happened to meet Su Meng and Cheng Jianjun who came with him.

The conflict between them has become public. Cheng Jianjun has been in high spirits recently, but Su Meng is obviously quite disdainful of him.

Although this woman is sometimes pretentious, she knows very well what kind of person Cheng Jianjun is.

"Hey, Chunming, you're here too. I thought you'd be embarrassed."

Facing Cheng Jianjun's sarcastic opening remarks, Su Meng frowned. She always hated this kind of mean face.

"You, Cheng Jianjun, have the nerve to come here. I am upright and honest. At least I have never done anything wrong. What is there to be embarrassed about?"

Han Chun knew clearly that Cheng Jianjun was behind the incident at the food factory, so he naturally wouldn't give him a good look.

Cheng Jianjun did not continue to pester her, but smiled and walked into the hotel.

He knew that today's party had just begun and he had plenty of time to deal with Han Chunming.

"Oh my, which beauty is so dazzling that we are all stunned!"

Seeing Han Chunming and the other two coming in, Yang Huajian and Mao Ditu immediately stepped forward to greet them with a smile.

Before joining the queue, Su Meng was recognized as the school belle.

"Hey, Mao Ditu, what's wrong with you? If you say this, someone might be unhappy!"

Everyone knew Han Chunming's feelings for Su Meng, and Yang Huajian deliberately made a teasing remark, but given their current situation, this remark was indeed inappropriate.

Han Chunming and Su Meng looked at each other, then quickly looked away. There was a hint of awkwardness in the air.

Realizing that the relationship between the two might not be as they imagined, Mao Tutu quickly took over the topic and eased the atmosphere.

"Well, now that you're all here, please take a seat."

Mao Tutu led them to a round table in the front, and all the familiar people stood up and greeted them with a smile.

"Oh, Chunming, you're finally here. You've kept us waiting for so long. Stop wasting time and drink three cups of wine as punishment!"

"Alright, alright, I'm late, so I'll drink three cups as punishment!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Han Chunming drank three glasses of liquor in one gulp.

The atmosphere at the table suddenly became lively.

Han Chunming has a generous personality and is very popular.

Su Meng felt very relieved to see that he was deeply loved by this group of old friends.

However, thinking about the gap in social status between the two of them now, I can't help but feel sorry for him.

Seeing Han Chunming enjoying such a great success while he himself was ignored in the corner, Cheng Jianjun felt unhappy.

"Hey, Liu Conghua, I heard you were admitted to the Agricultural University, right?"

"Well, she just barely made it through. In terms of real talent and knowledge, Su Meng was the academic model of our class. By the way, Su Meng, which university did you get into?"

"I'm not a model student. I barely have the score to get into the Normal College. Do you remember Ye Jiaxin? She was admitted to a famous school in Beijing. Also, Cheng Jianjun also received a letter of admission to the Normal College."

The news that Su Meng told made the old classmates sitting around the table look at each other in surprise.

Everyone's focus also shifted from Han Chunming to Cheng Jianjun.

Yang Huajian knew that Cheng Jianjun was very concerned about his reputation and that it was rare for them to get together, so he went along with it.

"Jianjun, that's great. You usually keep a low profile, but I didn't expect you to have this skill. No, you must go on stage today and sing for us old friends!"

Led by Yang Huajian, everyone in the hall began to clamor for Cheng Jianjun to perform.

Cheng Jianjun reveled in the feeling of being noticed.

"Hey, how can I sing? Besides, with Su Meng here, it's not my turn to be in the limelight.

But how about this, Su Meng sings and I accompany her, what do you think? "

He worked in a piano store and learned from masters in his spare time.

Although my skills are rusty, at least I can play a few songs.

"Can you play the piano?"

Han Chunming suddenly felt that he had never really understood Cheng Jianjun.

They grew up together and apart from being serious, there are no other major problems.

Unexpectedly, after returning from the queue-jumping post, Cheng Jianjun seemed like a different person.

If Ye Ming had not pointed it out, he would not have suspected that it was Cheng Jianjun who secretly caused him to be fired from the food factory.

What was even more unexpected was that he was admitted to university quietly.

With such a display opportunity, the students at the scene naturally followed suit and cheered.

With no other options, Su Meng had to go onto the stage reluctantly.

"Chun Ming, you and Su Meng are from two completely different worlds."

Cheng Jianjun whispered something sarcastic to Han Chunming.

There was no special meaning, it was just that Han Chunming always had an advantage over him in everything he did.

Next to him, I always seem dull and dim.

Today's gathering of educated youth seemed like a specially built stage for him.

After saying that, Cheng Jianjun also walked onto the stage.

Su Meng looked at him puzzledly.

"What piece of music can you play?"

"How about Moscow Evenings?"

"Okay, this one."

After deciding on the collaboration piece, Cheng Jianjun glanced at Han Chunming, lightly touched the piano keys with his fingers, and soon, the sound of the piano began to float.

Although the level was average, it exceeded everyone's expectations.

The melodious singing voice was matched with the slightly awkward piano music. Everyone left their seats and started ballroom dancing with familiar male and female partners.

Han Chunming looked at Su Meng on the stage, a little dazed.

Thinking back to their past, a trace of loneliness appeared on his face.

Yang Huajian and Mao Map next to them looked at each other, not understanding what Han Chunming had experienced during this period, nor did they know how to comfort him.

When the song ended, there was thunderous applause and cheers from the audience.

Su Meng was immersed in this joyful atmosphere.

"Hey Jianjun, are you planning to give us a surprise? Tell me the truth, when did you learn to play the piano?"

"Hey, I didn't have time to learn piano during the exam preparation period. I only learned it for a few days when I was working at a piano store for fun. I don't play well, please don't laugh at me."
