Chapter 892: Meeting

This is your treasure trove of urban novels.

Huang Xiaochuan glanced at Gao Song, who then went to make the arrangements.

"That's strange, Huang Xiaochuan, how come you haven't changed at all?" Ren Yangyang looked at her old classmate with a curious expression. She was still as quick-witted as she was back in school when she talked about this legendary classmate.

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and poured tea into the teacups in front of the two of them: "Really? I didn't notice anything."

Qin Yu then asked, "When did you arrive?"

Huang Xiaochuan put down the teapot and said, "Oh! I arrived last night, thinking about having this, so I got up early to come here. I didn't expect to run into the two of you."

He then asked Qin Yu, "And you! When did you get back?"

"I've been back for a while now, and I plan to stay a bit longer before leaving!"

Huang Xiaochuan nodded to indicate that he understood, and then asked Ren Yangyang, "What about you? I heard you became a teacher?"

Ren Yangyang remained nonchalant: "Hey! I can't compare to you two, I'm just a schoolteacher!"

Huang Xiaochuan gently corrected him: "Your profession is what I aspire to the most, the engineer of the human soul."

Ren Yangyang slapped her forehead: "Look at my memory, I forgot you were a teacher too, a university professor."

Huang Xiaochuan smiled and corrected him: "Associate Professor!"

"Who cares about being a vice president or a full president? Anyway, you're the only one in our class who's ever been a professor. No one can compare to you in terms of scholarship." Ren Yangyang wasn't trying to flatter her; she was just telling the truth.

Huang Xiaochuan didn't emphasize or explain this to her again, but instead changed the subject to something else related to daily life.

"You two are both married, right? How old are your children?"

Before Qin Yu could speak, Ren Yangyang interjected, "I had a daughter, she's twelve." Then she asked, "How old is yours?"

"I have two children, a boy and a girl, twins, they're ten years old." Huang Xiaochuan held up two fingers.

Ren Yangyang exclaimed with envy, "My God! Twins!"

At this moment, Huang Xiaochuan looked at Qin Yu, and Qin Yu naturally knew that Huang Xiaochuan wanted to know about her recent situation.

So she didn't hide anything about it: "Me? I'm still single for now, and I'm looking for the right person."

Qin Yu's words startled Huang Xiaochuan for a moment, but he quickly regained his composure.

We couldn't continue the conversation after that day.

Just then, Gao Song came over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Huang Xiaochuan raised an eyebrow: "Got it!"

He knew he couldn't hide the fact that he was coming back for the class reunion from the local officials, and sure enough, they'd already come looking for him.

He stood up and said to his two old classmates, "Excuse me, please enjoy your meal. I have some things to take care of, so I'll have to go now. See you this afternoon."

Qin Yu could naturally guess the reason, so she smiled and waved, "See you this afternoon!"

Ren Yangyang had just stuffed a jade-colored shumai into her mouth and was not in a position to speak, so she could only nod to indicate that she understood and wave goodbye to her old classmate.

After Huang Xiaochuan left, she finally managed to swallow the shumai she had just eaten and even took a sip of tea to smooth it out.

"Why did he leave so quickly? Are we tigers or something?" Ren Yangyang was puzzled by Huang Xiaochuan's sudden departure. He was fine just a moment ago, so why did he leave so suddenly?

"I guess it was a city leader who contacted him," Qin Yu said, stating her guess directly.

This conjecture made perfect sense, and Ren Yangyang suddenly realized: "That's right! He's back, and the city leaders must know about it too." Ren Yangyang knew better than anyone the influence his old classmate had in Qingjiang, otherwise, how could his sister-in-law have become the principal of Qinggao High School?

The reputation is well-deserved, but Huang Xiaochuan doesn't really like this kind of formality of welcoming and sending off guests. However, he also knows that these are things he can't control whether he wants to or not. In short, he has no choice but to do so. He had already considered this when he agreed to attend the class reunion.

After having a simple lunch with the local officials and exchanging ideas, Huang Xiaochuan headed to the Qingjiang State Guesthouse.

Overall, the city leaders attached great importance to Huang Xiaochuan's return to his hometown to attend a classmate reunion, and specially strengthened the security at the Qingjiang Guesthouse, thus protecting Huang Xiaochuan from being disturbed by media reporters.

The registration area was set up in the lobby of Qingjiang Hotel. As the main organizer of this class reunion, Liu Yun naturally arrived early and even arranged for a photographer to record the entire process of the reunion.

"Ren Yangyang!" Ren Yangyang and Qin Yu had just reached the lobby entrance when Liu Yun spotted them and greeted them warmly.

"Wow! Class monitor! You're so beautiful!" Liu Yun exclaimed exaggeratedly upon seeing Qin Yu.

Qin Yu smiled faintly and shook hands with Liu Yun: "Liu Yun, it's been a long time."

Ren Yangyang looked around and said, "Wow! Looks like we're the first ones here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, some classmates who work in Qingjiang arrived, and they didn't seem to have changed much.

"Oh! Class monitor! If you looked like this, I wouldn't recognize you on the street." Wang Li, a female classmate, grabbed Qin Yu's hand and wouldn't let go.

As more and more people arrived, they shook hands and patted each other on the shoulder after meeting, calling each other by their nicknames from high school, laughing constantly. The topics were all about their current careers and past events, creating a warm and nostalgic atmosphere.

"Wow, who's that? Isn't that Leonardo DiCaprio? How did he get so fat? Looks like the food at the company cafeteria is really good for him!"

"Oh my! Zhao Zhen! A great painter!"

Compared to the visitor's enthusiasm, Zhao Zhen, a painter with an artist's air, merely nodded reservedly to the visitor.

Qin Yu looked at Ren Yangyang with confusion: "Zhao Zhen is a painter?"

Ren Yangyang laughed and said, "You forgot, this guy was an art student. He went to the China Academy of Art and reportedly won many awards. Now he's a rising young painter in China, and one of his paintings sells for millions!"

Hearing her best friend say this, Qin Yu remembered that Zhao Zhen used to spend all his time huddled in his seat writing and drawing. No one could understand what he drew. For example, once he used a lot of white space on one side of a piece of paper, while on the right side was a long-haired woman with her hair hanging down and covering one eye. Her face took up half of the paper, and her hairstyle was like ocean waves and seagulls. Most people really couldn't understand it.

However, when this guy saw Qin Yu, his eyes lit up, and he took the initiative to walk up to Qin Yu. His expression had completely lost its previous arrogance and reserve.

"Squad leader, do you remember me?" she said, extending a hand.

Qin Yu smiled and shook hands with him: "Hello, Zhao Zhen!"

Upon hearing Qin Yu call out his name accurately, Zhao Zhen immediately smiled happily.

Just as he was about to have a proper conversation with him, more people entered from outside the lobby.
