Rekindle 2003

Chapter 1098. This annual meeting feels more like a class reunion.

December 12, Jincheng, Western Shu.

This inland city has become the focus of attention of the domestic PC industry today.

Here, Yanhuang Group, the new leader that is rapidly rising in the PC industry with its unstoppable momentum, held its annual meeting at the Jinniu Hotel, attracting strong attention from people inside and outside the industry and the media.

Inside the Jinniu Hotel, the lights are bright and the crowds are bustling.

As New Year's Day approaches, the venue is decorated with new decorations, and the atmosphere is filled with festive atmosphere and...

solemn!

There's no way, this hotel has always been solemn.

This landmark building located in Jincheng, Xishu, is famous for its grand scale and luxurious facilities. It has always been the first choice for dignitaries to stay and major events in Xishu.

Its magnificent lobby, exquisite gardens and impeccable service demonstrate the prosperity and development of this beautiful city.

The Jinniu Hotel is always very busy at the end of the year. Annual meetings and summary meetings of major government agencies at the Xishu and Jincheng levels are also held here.

The news that the Yanhuang Group chose to book the Jinniu Hotel to hold its annual meeting shocked the outside world.

The media reporters swarmed in like hyenas smelling the prey of a working leopard, wanting to get in for interviews.

It’s a pity that this is an internal meeting of the Yanhuang Group. Except for specially invited guests and some important partners, no one else is allowed to enter.

This is almost equivalent to using the People's Auditorium in Yanjing.

From the choice of this venue, we can get a glimpse of the great influence and energy represented by the Yanhuang Group, as well as the support from the Xishu and Jincheng authorities for this emerging group.

Li Yali found it incredible that the annual meeting could be held at the Jinniu Hotel.

Coming from a family working for a central state-owned enterprise, she can better understand the meaning behind this fact.

What made her feel even more magical was that, as she sat in the hotel restaurant eating a buffet breakfast, she felt as if she were at a class reunion.

Sitting in a corner of the cafeteria, holding a cup of warm milk in his hand, his eyes wandered over the classmates around him.

It is normal for Jincheng to appear here.

Not to mention the group of classmates in Chang'an who followed her, nor those who followed Qing Yun and Qin Manyan in Huating who were close to the water and had the first chance to enjoy the moon.

Students from Yenching, Erbin, Lin'an, Jiangcheng, Luzhou, Xingcheng, Yangcheng, Fengtian... gathered together.

Every face here made her feel both familiar and unfamiliar. They came from all over the world, but gathered here for the annual meeting of Yanhuang Group. This made her marvel at the magic of fate.

"Yali, you also find it incredible, right?" Guan Xiaohe sat down opposite Li Yali with a plate of fruit salad. There was also a bit of surprise and excitement in her eyes.

Li Yali nodded and said softly, "Yes, who would have thought that we would get together here. It feels like an early winter vacation reunion."

Guan Xiaohe smiled, picked up a piece of watermelon and put it into her mouth, "We have to thank the youngest brother and his couple for this."

These words made Zhou Li and others who followed over laugh.

A few people...

Guan Xiaohe herself found it quite funny and chuckled for a long time before continuing.

"I heard that after this annual meeting, many students plan to stay in Jincheng to develop their careers."

Li Yali raised her eyebrows, she knew that Guan Xiaohe's words implied something.

Zhou Li put down the plate in her hand and asked softly, "Does your family think so too?"

Guan Xiaohe nodded, "Of course, my parents were very happy when they heard that I was going to attend the annual meeting of Yanhuang Group.

They said that the times have changed, and having a strong backer is a rare advantage for us. ”

Zhou Li shrugged her shoulders, and several girls started chattering.

At this time, Li Yali was silent.

She found that in the entire science base class, only a few people who really couldn't play together did not come, the rest all came, and many of them even prepared to be selected in high school.

This is not surprising.

Many people start planning their lives from a young age.

Most people in high school cannot join the party due to age restrictions, but that does not mean they cannot join study classes and become active members, and then become probationary party members when they graduate, which is quite an advantage in college.

Guan Xiaohe and Zhou Li are like this.

And they all appeared here at this moment.

At this moment, she couldn't help but think of the conversation she had with her parents when she returned home last night.

Originally, as the exam week was approaching, she was still a little hesitant and nervous about returning to Jincheng for the meeting.

She was worried that her parents would scold her for not studying hard and not doing her job properly, because her parents hoped that she would pursue a career in politics in the future.

After all, the platform her parents created for her is not low.

In fact, the same is true when you enter the house.

……

"Dad, Mom, I'm back." Li Yali pushed open the door and said somewhat unnaturally.

"Yali, why did you come back suddenly?" There was a hint of surprise in the mother's voice.

"Something happened at school and I need to come back to deal with it." Li Yali tried her best to make her voice sound calmer.

But no one knows a daughter better than her father. The father stood up from the sofa in the living room, pushed up his glasses, and looked at her with scrutiny.
"Is it really about school? Tell the truth! I remember you were supposed to start your exams next week, right?"

Seeing this, Li Yali could only tell the truth: "Actually, I came back to attend the annual meeting of Yanhuang Group."

Her father is an auditor...

"Yanhuang Group?" A hint of doubt flashed across the mother's eyes, but was quickly interrupted by the father.

"That Qingyun company, right? You were invited?"

Li Yali knew that it was best not to play any tricks in front of the auditor, so she simply nodded and mentioned her part-time job in the Chang'an subsidiary of the Yanhuang Group.

The sooner she dies, the sooner she will be reborn. Anyway, she is back. Even if the worst happens and her parents escort her back to Chang'an, the youngest child will know her attitude when he finds out.

But what she never expected was that her parents' attitude suddenly changed after hearing the news.

"As long as it doesn't interfere with your studies, it's fine. Qingyun is a good guy. It will be good for you to get in touch with him more."

The mother also agreed: "Yes, Yali, your father is right. You have a good relationship with Qingyun and others, which will be very helpful for your future."

Li Yali's heart was full of doubts. She didn't understand why her parents suddenly changed their attitude.

She remembered that her parents always emphasized that she should rely on herself and not on others, but now...

If Qingyun's love affair with Qin Manyan and others was not known throughout the country, she would even think that her parents were thinking of finding a son-in-law.

Finally, she understood from her parents' words that her parents' original intention of wanting her to pursue a career in politics had not changed. It was just that her parents, who had been in the system for a long time, understood better how much help a wealthy friend could bring to one's career, especially in the early stages, as it could save her a lot of trouble.

……

Looking at the classmates in the restaurant who had already determined their life paths, Li Yali shrugged her shoulders.

Obviously, many of these students' families think so too.

After all, Jincheng No. 4 Middle School is a government school. When their children go to university, their parents' rank is usually not too low according to their age, and they are well aware of the intricacies involved.

Li Zhaojun was concentrating on eating, listening to her girlfriends' chattering while looking at the situation in the restaurant from time to time.

Someone didn't come.

And when her eyes swept across those familiar faces, an inexplicable feeling surged in her heart.

These people and these things are an indispensable part of her life journey.

And this annual meeting may be a ceremony for her and these classmates to open the future chapter of their lives.

The more you grow, the more you understand that the starting lines of life are different.

In elementary school you will know people in the village, in junior high school you will know people in the town, in high school you will know people in the city, and in college you will know people from all provinces.

You will see the diversity of life, living things and even organisms.

Parents have divided the society into classes.

For example, high-ranking officials, businessmen, and highly intellectuals.

Most of these people's children are carefree youngsters who are talented and pursuing their dreams.

But the vast majority of people are not born to have such a luxurious idea.

Because in this world, most parents are ordinary people. They can only rely on themselves or on the noble people in their lives.

There are countless such vivid examples around us as we grow up.

When other children have cars, houses and are looking for wives under the care of their parents, boys whose parents have no money dare not have any ideas.

No one is qualified to comment on whether it is degeneration or self-improvement.

All men are born equal, which means that all lives are equal, and that heaven and earth are unkind and treat all things as straw dogs.

It does not refer to social equality.

But this is not contradictory, nor is there any need to blame others. After all, the good feng shui of wealthy families is also earned through the hard work of their ancestors.

There is a saying that goes, if you don’t work hard, your next generation will have to work hard for you.

Other parents know to leave the best for their children and save some capital for their children to give them a high starting point. But you insist on escaping your responsibilities as a parent and forcing your children to grope around in life.

Of course, you can also choose to end it here and have no next generation.

It doesn’t matter. Over thousands of years of history, only a few families have been able to survive the cycle of history.

Looking back at history, the ancestors of most people were very glorious, otherwise they would not have survived those apocalyptic times.

Zhang Wei is gone, but there are Li Wei and Wang Wei.

Everyone starts from a different starting point when they are born. When money cannot raise your starting point, you can only rely on yourself to fight and struggle against fate. So a small number of poor students changed the direction of the entire family...

Therefore, after entering university, I can understand more clearly that even in a group with the same direction and goals, each person’s life path is different.

Some people start early, and the starting line is very close to the finish line, but they take to the dirt road and wander all the way.

Some people start late and have a long way to go, but they are destined to walk on a flowery path and even have helicopters to ride in.

What made Li Yali feel emotional was Liu Jianhong.

To be precise, it was the five snoring kids who originally shared a dormitory with Qingyun.

Her gaze passed through the hustle and bustle of the restaurant and fell on those familiar yet unfamiliar figures.

Those boys, who were once famous for their snoring in high school, were now here, chatting with a group of adults in suits with a maturity she had never seen before.

They no longer had any of the immaturity of their student days, and instead, they were filled with a maturity and confidence that felt both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

Obviously, everyone is a freshman, but in less than half a year, the gap between people has become obvious.

While their friends were still showing off the free buffet and gathering in a small circle of classmates, the five snoring girls were chatting and laughing with a group of adults who were obviously senior executives and middle-level managers.

It’s not that they neglected their classmates. In fact, the five Slurpers were very good at socializing and got along well with every classmate.

But both the way he treats people and his speech and behavior are completely different from those of his classmates.

It is a fact that everyone is rising, but it is also a fact that others are growing.

Especially Liu Jianhong, the eldest of the group, was busy in the restaurant at this time, greeting this and entertaining that. Wearing a well-tailored suit, he no longer looked like a student, but instead had the bearing of an executive.

"Yali, what are you looking at?" Guan Xiaohe's voice interrupted Li Yali's thoughts.

Li Yali came back to her senses and sighed softly, "I was watching Liu Jianhong and the others, and I felt that they had changed a lot."

Guan Xiaohe followed her gaze and couldn't help but sigh, "Yeah, it's only been half a year, and they seem to have completely changed into different people."

Zhou Li also joined the discussion, with a hint of envy in her eyes, "Especially Liu Jianhong, look at him now, he doesn't look like a student at all, he is clearly a successful person."

Li Yali nodded with mixed feelings.

She knew that behind these changes was the influence of Qing Yun and the Yanhuang Group.

As Qing Yun's roommates, Liu Jianhong and his friends naturally had the upper hand and got more opportunities and resources.

Although she is also in this circle, she always feels like a bystander.

"Do you think they are no longer in the same world as us?"

There was a hint of uncertainty in Li Yali's voice.

Guan Xiaohe and Zhou Li looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes. They both knew that the changes in Liu Jianhong and his friends were not only about appearance, but also about inner growth.

They have matured rapidly under the influence of the Yanhuang Group, but they are still living a relatively simple life in the ivory tower of the university.

"maybe,"

Guan Xiaohe said softly, "But we also have our own paths to follow. Everyone's life is different, isn't it?"

Li Yali smiled slightly, she knew Guan Xiaohe was right.

Everyone has their own life trajectory, and Liu Jianhong and others’ path may not be suitable for her.

She has her own ideals and pursuits. Even if they seem ordinary now, as long as she persists, she will have her own glory.

"That's right," Li Yali picked up the milk cup and gently touched Guan Xiaohe and Zhou Li's cups.

"No matter what the future holds, what we need to do now is to cherish the present and do our best."

The three girls smiled at each other, their eyes sparkling with expectations for the future and persistence in their dreams.

"What are you talking about? You look so happy?"

The one who was speaking was Guo Ruixi. At this moment, she and Li Yajuan were sitting at their large round table with their plates in hand.

"We're talking about your man," Zhou Li smiled maliciously, "Xiao He said it's too late. I should have snatched him from you in the first year of high school."

Guan Xiaohe rolled her eyes in annoyance and smiled at Guo Ruixi, "Xixi, we were saying that Liu Jianhong has really changed a lot now.

I always thought he was a child before, but now he has become a mature man.”

They have been sisters for many years. She, Guo Ruixi and Liu Jianhong have been classmates since elementary school. She is not worried at all about what Guo Ruixi might think.

Moreover, since they have been classmates since childhood, she was very blunt when commenting on Liu Jianhong.

Guo Ruixi's eyes narrowed with smiles when he heard this.

It was not just because her man was praised by the sisters, but also because of Guan Xiaohe's impoliteness.

This is what a best friend is.

Unlike the real plastic roommates in her current dormitory.

They are all envious, jealous and hateful with ulterior motives, and some even act like green tea bitches in front of their own men.

"You guys just praise him, how can he be mature?" Guo Ruixi smiled and shook his head, "He is just pretending in front of outsiders, but when he returns home, he is still the one who loses things and throws his socks everywhere.

He is always causing trouble. You don’t know that when he went out this morning, he put the TV remote control in his trouser pocket as if it were a cell phone…”

Sitting among the sisters and feeling their envious gazes, Guo Ruixi couldn't help feeling secretly proud in her heart.

She remembered what Qin Manyan once said to her: "It's better to show off your man than yourself. That's what you call fun!"

Now it seems that this sentence is really good advice.

She raised her chin slightly, enjoying this rare feeling of superiority.

Therefore, Guo Ruixi complained even more about Liu Jianhong's unreliability in life, saying that he was just like a mentally retarded person, and she was really worried about him.

But the look of pride in her eyes for her man's growth could not be hidden.

Li Yajuan looked at Guo Ruixi's smug look and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Xixi, you have really changed a lot. You have become so gentle. You are simply a good wife and mother."

'Good wife and loving mother' is obviously a positive term.

However, when it comes to Guo Ruixi, it is full of humor.

Guo Ruixi, who has been practicing track and field since childhood, looked nothing like these four words before college.

She is a hot-tempered and carefree female figure. Her interactions with Liu Jianhong are always full of tension, which makes Liu Jianhong feel so depressed that he wants to cry.

So, when Li Yajuan said this, the sisters around her couldn't help laughing.

Zhou Li added maliciously: "Hey! Xixi, I remember you said before that women don't have to do housework at home, and you will definitely not do it in the future.

Why are you now...washing socks for your brother Jianhong?

But I heard that Manman and Qianying would not wash the socks for the youngest one."
