Fu Chenshan suddenly appeared in front of the two people. Not only Xie Zhan, but He Yu was also shocked.
He Yu didn’t want to cough at first, but when Fu Chenshan said this, he suddenly felt an uncontrollable itching in his throat. He turned his head and coughed twice.
Fu Chenshan walked to the water dispenser, picked up a clean disposable paper cup, took a cup of water, and handed it to He Yu. “Drink some water.”
He Yu couldn’t refuse, so he said thank you and took the cup of water.
Xie Zhan’s eyes were shining with excitement. He looked at Fu Chenshan and said, “Old classmate, don’t you remember me?”
Fu Chenshan then turned his attention to Xie Zhan. He looked him up and down and said with a smile, “Old classmate, you say? How could I not remember you? I haven’t seen Xie Zhan since I graduated from high school!”
Xie Zhan smiled and shook hands with Fu Chenshan.
Fu Chenshan asked him, “How have you been these past years?”
Xie Zhan’s originally high-spirited expression calmed down slightly. The difference between his 8-year-old self and the him 17 years later was like a watershed in life. Even if he graduated from the same university and started from the same starting point, he has done well. He already has a car and a house, and his wife and children were perfectly happy. But to those who weren’t doing well, they were still struggling in society just to save money for a down payment.
“Still the same,” Xie Zhan said.
Fu Chenshan smiled and did not ask any further questions. His eyes fell on He Yu again. Looking at the tag on his chest, he asked, “Since when did you change jobs?”
“Not long ago,” He Yu replied, “just a few days ago.”
Fu Chenshan asked softly, “Why didn’t you tell me?” In fact, Fu Chenshan also knew that it was redundant for him to ask. He Yu was no longer willing to tell him many things, but he was still used to asking him like he did before. With him asking this question casually, it was as if He Yu was still by his side.
He Yu smiled and said, “It’s not a big deal.”
Fu Chenshan heard this and said, “This job is more suitable for you now. That’s very good.” Although it was not as good as Lingyun’s, Fu Chenshan was naturally more willing to see He Yu find a job that suits him than delivering takeouts in a local restaurant for work.
He Yu didn’t speak. Xie Zhan listened to their conversation and suddenly said to He Yu, “Ai, He Yu, you somewhat lied to me! When I asked you about Fu Chenshan before, you said that you had no contact with him.”
He Yu said, “He is usually busy, and I’m too embarrassed to disturb him.”
Fu Chenshan lowered his gaze and smiled silently.
Xie Zhan didn’t want to question He Yu anymore, so he turned to Fu Chenshan and asked, “Why are you here in person today? I thought you left already!”
Fu Chenshan answered, “A reporter from a magazine will come over later. He said that he wants to do a special interview with Lingyun. I will be the representative.”
“Oh.” Xie Zhan tried his best to sound natural, but he still showed a trace of envy.
Fu Chenshan said to him, “Leave your phone number to me. It’s been a long time since I saw an old classmate. Let’s make an appointment to have a meal together when we have the time.”

Xie Zhan quickly replied, “Oh, okay, it’s really time for us to come out and get together. I told He Yu last time that our classmates from the city would come out to hold a class reunion or something when they have time.”

Fu Chenshan asked him, “Why is your health so bad?”
He Yu was stunned for a moment, then he came to his senses. “How did you know I had a cough?”
Fu Chenshan said, “I noticed it when you were distributing the flyers.”
After a moment of silence, He Yu smiled and said, “Nothing’s wrong. I had a slight cold some time ago. Okay, I have to go to work now.”
Seeing that he was about to leave, Fu Chenshan asked, “Are you free to have dinner together with me in the afternoon?”
He Yu hesitated and found an excuse that made Fu Chenshan unable to persist. “I made an appointment with Qiao Mudong for dinner, I’m sorry.”
Fu Chenshan stood on the same spot and could only say, “Okay, let’s talk about it next time when we have the chance.”
He Yu then returned to the company booth. No one blamed him for disappearing for so long. He took the initiative to fill everyone’s cups with water, then took the advertising flyers and continued to distribute them.
Everyone had lunch together at noon.
After finishing the lunch box, He Yu volunteered to take it and throw it away together. The trash can was outside the exhibition hall, on the walkway connecting the two exhibition halls. He Yu walked over, and from there, he could see Lingyun’s booth in the opposite exhibition hall. Fu Chenshan was standing in front of the booth, talking to two reporters. The way they chatted and laughed was really enviable.
He Yu suddenly understood where Xie Zhan’s envious mood came from. He suppressed those messy thoughts, threw away the trash, and turned around to leave.
After the two-day trade fair, Tengxiang signed several orders, and even more advertisements and business cards were sent out, all of which might become their future customers.
Generally speaking, Ou Yunjia was very satisfied with the effect of this exhibition. He then expressed his recognition of everyone’s hard work.
It was almost the end of the exhibition at this time. People from the company gathered at the booth to pack their things. After hearing Ou Yunjia’s words of recognition, they all started asking him to have a big meal and then go to sing in the evening.
“Not today!” Ou Yunjia said. “There’s a banquet tonight. Our company has two invitations. I have to find someone to go with me.”
Technical people were not good at this kind of event. But there were also a lot of people who wanted to experience that kind of occasion—with champagne, fine wine, and fragrant clothes—especially those young girls.
But Ou Yunjia did not want to take any young girls with him. Most of the young girls in the company were engaged in financial or secretarial work. In this situation, apart from being a beautiful female companion, there was no other help they could do for Ou Yunjia. In fact, among so many people, he was more inclined to let He Yu accompany him.
In the company, most of the senior people with qualifications were engaged in technology, while most of the salespeople were young people with less experience. Only He Yu has experience in sales for a large company like Lingyun. He was definitely not weak in social interactions and was also familiar with technical work. He was a young and handsome man who was perfect to have around.
But He Yu obviously wanted to go the least among these people. He packed his things silently, so Ou Yunjia couldn’t even find a reason to speak to him.
Several young girls surrounded Ou Yunjia and expressed their desire to come with him. Although the young men did not say anything directly, they all looked at Ou Yunjia expectantly, waiting for him to speak.
Ou Yunjia felt really entangled, so he asked instead, “Which one of you here has formal attire to wear to the banquet?”
They were all young people who have just started working. Especially the young girls who work for more than 2,000 yuan a month, they didn’t have any money to buy such dresses. Even if they do, most of them were cheap and could not be sold on the market. They were a little discouraged for a while. Suddenly, there was a girl who took Ou Yunjia’s arm and said, “Boss, why don’t you pay the bill for that instead?”
Ou Yunjia raised his wrist and looked at his watch. “There are still two hours left. We don’t have the time to pay the bill and buy it.”
“Alas—” They all sighed.
At this time, He Yu had silently packed up the remaining advertising brochures and packed them all in cardboard boxes. He was waiting for Ou Yunjia to say that everyone should go back together.
Ou Yunjia said, “I have an extra suit. If anyone has a similar figure with me, please put it on and go with me.”
Ou Yunjia was not very tall; rather, he was slender. Although he was slightly shorter than He Yu, it was not that obvious. So, as soon as he finished speaking, the eyes of everyone present fell on He Yu.
He Yu was startled. He asked, “What?”
Ou Yunjia walked over with a smile and put his arm around his shoulders. “Okay, it’ll be you; let’s go.”
He Yu felt very uneasy as he got into Ou Yunjia’s car. He was still thinking about how to refuse him: “Boss, it’s inappropriate to bring me with you.”
Ou Yunjia smiled. “Why is it inappropriate?”
He Yu answered, “I’m a newcomer who just came in, and I don’t understand a lot of things…”
“It doesn’t matter,” Ou Yunjia said. “We’re just going to join them. On an occasion like today, I don’t really expect to achieve anything from it. I just want to get to know some people.”
He Yu felt that it was really inappropriate. Everyone wanted to go just now. He saw it with his own eyes. In his opinion, Ou Yunjia took too much care of him, which was not very good for him.
But Ou Yunjia did not have the idea of taking care of him. The two of them obviously had poor communication. Ou Yunjia thought that he was still worried about meeting people from Lingyun, so he advised, “There’s no need for you to meet people from big companies like Lingyun; just follow me. There are too many people from a small company like ours, so others won’t surely notice us.”
He Yu exhaled and could only comfort himself in this way. Ou Yunjia usually took good care of him. It was rare for him to ask He Yu to do something, so it was also hard for him to refuse.
Ou Yunjia drove He Yu back to the company. He did have two sets of suits, but he didn’t prepare them for He Yu in advance. He just thought about it at that time and found an excuse to kidnap He Yu.
The suits were placed in the wardrobe of Ou Yunjia’s office, and the two of them changed into them in a hurry. They didn’t even have time to eat, and it was almost time for them to rush to the banquet. They were not VIPs, so it was better to come early.
The dinner was held in a newly built five-star hotel banquet hall in Chongfeng City. Since there were many companies participating in the exhibition, there were naturally many people attending the dinner. The size of the banquet hall was naturally extraordinary, and the decoration was also very luxurious.
In fact, He Yu had never been to such a big occasion. The largest banquet he had attended was probably Lingyun’s annual party, so he didn’t speak much during the whole trip and still felt uneasy.
After arriving, He Yu discovered that although there were many people at Lingyun’s annual gathering, it was still far inferior to the grandeur here. The banquet hall was very open and grand, with luxurious gold and silver colors. A row of long tables on the left was filled with exquisite food, which you can take for yourself. Waiters wearing vests and ties were interspersed among the crowd, replenishing the drinks and pastries that were taken away by guests.
At this time, many people had already arrived. Someone was greeting people at the door to register their attendance for the banquet. An invitation letter was required to enter.
He Yu followed Ou Yunjia and glanced around. He didn’t see anyone he knew. He was slightly relieved. Then he saw the food on the table and suddenly felt hungry.
“Boss,” He Yu whispered, “let’s go get something to eat first.”
Ou Yunjia was also hungry and nodded. “Let’s go.”
The two people walked to the long table. Ou Yunjia had just picked up a drink, but before he could even drink it, he suddenly met an acquaintance.
He Yu stood aside and listened to the two of them chatting. They seemed to be very familiar with each other. Like good friends, they would lower their voices and joke from time to time. He knew that there was no need to follow them, so He Yu walked to the table at the back with peace of mind, wanting to get a shrimp dumpling.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he stretched out his hand, he was suddenly patted hard on the shoulder. He Yu was so frightened that his heart skipped a beat. When he turned around, he realized that the person behind him turned out to be Xie Zhan.
He Yu wanted to pick up the plate and slap it on his face, but he had to forcefully put on a smile instead. “Why, it’s you, ah. You scared me.”
Xie Zhan had a proud smile on his face. “Guess how I got in here?”
He Yumian smiled and repeated, “How did you get in here?”
Xie Zhan boasted with a smile, “Of course my boss will not bring me here. I asked Fu Chenshan for an invitation letter just this afternoon. Speaking of Fu Chenshan, he’s really kind.”
He Yu answered him, “Yes.” Then he turned back and continued to get the shrimp dumpling he had just spotted.
Xie Zhan said behind him, “Don’t be like this; it’s embarrassing.”
He Yu took a deep breath, told himself to be patient, and then said to Xie Zhan, “It’s okay, just stay away from me.”
Who would have thought that Xie Zhan would suddenly smile and bump him with his shoulder. “Forget it; I won’t give you the cold shoulder, brother.”
Fortunately, He Yu held the fork steadily and didn’t knock off the shrimp dumplings. He quickly put them into his mouth.
He Yu kept eating while Xie Zhan was chattering behind him. Whatever He Yu heard mostly went in the left ear and out in the right ear. He kept on nodding at the end to show that he was listening.
Once He Yu was almost done eating, he turned back to look for Ou Yunjia, only to find out that four or five people had already gathered around him. They all looked familiar with each other, chatting and laughing together. It didn’t seem appropriate for him to suddenly join him at this time, so he didn’t go over. Instead, he picked up a glass of brightly colored wine and tried to taste it.
Suddenly, Xie Zhan couldn’t help but raise his voice and call out, “Ling Qiang is here.”
In fact, Xie Zhan, like He Yu before, has the utmost admiration for Ling Qiang. Perhaps this was common to all young people in this industry.
Now that Xie Zhan mentioned it, He Yu couldn’t help but subconsciously look towards the door.
Ling Qiang was indeed here. He attended with his wife, Zhou Xuelan, who was all dressed up, followed by Fu Chenshan and Ling Zhilu behind them.
He Yu had already expected Fu Chenshan’s arrival, so he was not surprised at all. He just took two steps into the crowd unconsciously. But then, He Yu’s eyes widened in surprise when he saw that the person who walked into the banquet hall after them was none other than Qiao Mudong!
