My girlfriend is from 1949

Boom!

After the BMW went up the bump, the wheels made a dull sound under the weight.

Even the bricks and stones along the roadside cracked due to the sudden heavy pressure.

The sound immediately attracted their attention.

Chen Huai'an frowned as he watched the BMW sedan standing upright, cutting the sidewalk in half.

Although I drive myself, I often complain about not being able to find a parking space.

However, this kind of behavior is extremely unacceptable.

Just for their own convenience, they completely blocked the path for pedestrians.

Pedestrians have no choice but to walk off the sidewalk and go around the road to avoid the traffic.

Moreover, with vehicles coming and going on the road, accidents can easily happen, resulting in pedestrians being hit.

At best, they'll end up in the hospital for a few days; at worst, they'll be hit and killed.

The cause of the car accident was simply because he wanted to park for his own convenience!

They disregarded traffic laws and put the lives of others at risk.

Aside from parking on the sidewalk and forcing pedestrians onto the road.

Not far away, a car was parked on the zebra crossing.

Moreover, that zebra crossing was located at a bend in the road.

It severely obstructs the view of oncoming vehicles.

When pedestrians cross the zebra crossing, it's like a ghost suddenly appearing out of nowhere, making it difficult for oncoming drivers to react.

Therefore, traffic regulations clearly stipulate that parking is prohibited within 30 meters of zebra crossings and curves.

Unfortunately, many people still don't take traffic laws seriously in order to save time.

Although Chen Huai'an disdained such behavior, he had no intention of meddling in other people's business.

After all, he's past the age of impulsive, angry youth.

If you encounter this situation while crossing the street, just be more careful.

You might call to report it and get yelled at for "having nothing better to do" the next day!

He's not in a position to interfere in politics, and even the relevant departments are turning a blind eye. Why should an ordinary citizen like him, who has no connection to the matter, meddle in other people's business?

The reason I glanced at it was simply because I was attracted by the sound it made.

The door of the BMW opened, and a young man in an expensive suit stepped out.

He quickly walked around the front of the car and opened the passenger door solicitously.

A tall, stylish, young and beautiful woman stepped out of the passenger seat.

After the woman got out of the car, she instinctively dodged the large, eager hand that was being offered to her.

This awkward distance suggests that the BMW driver is in the pursuit stage and hasn't made a move yet.

Chen Huai'an recognized the woman and a strange glint flashed in his eyes: "It's her!"

Li Hongwei raised an eyebrow and immediately smiled.

He even subconsciously straightened his collar, showing how much he valued it.

Liu Yi had finally made it ashore. With his eyes and ears open, he immediately noticed his old classmate's actions.

""

He asked, "Was he also a guest you invited?"

Li Hongwei nodded: "This is an important business partner of my family. Without him, my family's business would be half gone!"

Liu Yi raised an eyebrow, immediately becoming interested.

Knowing some big bosses can be beneficial for one's career.

Economic development is now a key performance indicator, and it is highly valued from top to bottom.

Although I am just a junior staff member now, these things are still a long way off.

Having the opportunity to get to know each other is paving the way for the future.

If you could persuade some big boss to make a small investment in your workplace, that would be a great achievement!

Li Hongwei introduced him in a low voice: "His name is Wang Xianping, and his family owns a chemical fiber factory."

We have cooperative relationships with several military industrial units.

Even the military uniforms produced by those established textile factories were supplied by his family.

According to reports, it will be listed next year!

There was envy in his voice.

If you have the ability, who wouldn't want to take their company public and raise money... no, I mean, to make it stronger and bigger?

The two were about the same age and both were playboys.

So after the two companies started their collaboration, the two like-minded rich kids naturally started hanging out together a lot.

Moreover, since Li Hongwei's family belongs to Party B, it's natural to cater to their preferences.

Today is the engagement party, so of course we have to invite you.

Li Hongwei was very interested in seeing his old classmate and whispered a reminder: "Old Liu, as an old classmate, I have to warn you, this guy's character... don't let him ruin your own career for the sake of good grades!"

Although the following words about his character were not explicitly stated, the meaning was already quite clear.

It was practically saying outright, "This person is awful, don't bother with him, you'll only make a fool of yourself!"

The reason I was able to speak frankly was not only because of our friendship as classmates, but also because we met in this kind of setting.

If an old classmate slips and falls, it's somewhat my responsibility.

Since I've fulfilled my duty to remind him, if Liu Yi still insists on going over there, then it's none of my business.

We are all adults and should be responsible for our own choices.

Li Hongwei stepped forward and said, "Brother Wang, why are you so late?! I was about to call you!"

Wang Xianping raised his chin and laughed, "Man Yun just finished filming in Shanghai and came here. I'll go pick her up at the station."

Yang Wenjia exclaimed in surprise, "You...you're a celebrity?"

Li Manyun smiled modestly and said, "I can't be considered a star. I'm just a newcomer who just graduated and entered the industry. I've only acted in a few movies."

This statement both expressed humility and revealed that he had already acted in several films and television series, and was not an unknown figure.

When you're out in the world, you give yourself your own identity.

It's quite necessary to make an appropriate impression when meeting someone for the first time.

Otherwise, if you always keep a low profile, others will look down on you.

It's like going to a fancy restaurant where everyone else is dressed smartly, but there's one person wearing a worn-out vest, shorts, and slippers.

No matter how rich he is, he will give strangers a bad first impression.

Of course, if it were Ma, the richest man in China, it would be a different story.

The same outfit, worn by Ma, the richest man in Taiwan, would be praised as a return to simplicity.

Therefore, appropriate display is very necessary.

His chin was held high, and a hint of cunning flashed in his eyes.

It's quite prestigious to bring such a beautiful woman along as a companion.

"Here, this represents the old man's good wishes for your engagement!"

Wang Xianping took out a red envelope and handed it out with one hand.

Although he offered words of congratulations, his attitude was arrogant, giving people a condescending feeling.

It's clear that the two have always had an unequal relationship.

Chen Huai'an stood not far away, simply watching quietly.

Seeing his good brother's obsequious manner, he was not angry, nor did he have any other thoughts.

On the contrary, I feel that my good brother has become more sensible and more composed.

To gain a foothold in the business world, one must be able to be flexible and adaptable.

When I was doing sales, I also had to cater to the clients.

Besides entertaining guests and providing drinks, they also have to help find singing partners when going to karaoke.

While the customer was embracing a beautiful woman and singing happily.

He also had to be outside, discussing the price for an overnight stay with the boss.

You should adopt a certain attitude depending on your position.

Even when he became the top leader of the city, he still dared not be arrogant in front of his superiors.

These are the rules; if you don't have the strength, you have to abide by them!

So when I saw my good friend lower his stance and clearly try to please him.

Instead of being angry, I felt relieved.

Only by growing up can one inherit the family business in the future, instead of becoming a spendthrift.

Chen Huai'an simply watched with a smile, without saying a word.

He chose to pretend he didn't know Li Manyun.

Although this woman has a good figure and is very beautiful, I don't intend to have any contact with her outside of work.

The main problem is that they are too calculating and their actions are too obvious.

In fact, everyone has their own agenda.

He himself is a scheming man.

Without shrewdness, it's hard to survive in this world; at work, you'll be looked down upon and ostracized for being brainless.

He doesn't care if others are scheming, but they must be intelligent and valuable.

Li Manyun is indeed quite clever, but she's not my type.

So it's uncertain whether they will continue to collaborate after filming the contracted projects.

Chen Huai'an signed contracts for three films with each of the lead actors.

The salary offered is absolutely top-tier among newcomers.

Offering high salaries is considered compensation for the lead actors.

After all, the purpose of making a movie is to have it released and appear in the audience's view.

Only by becoming recognized by the audience can one accumulate popularity.

In this era where traffic is king, as long as you have popularity, even your pay will be much higher.

However, the films Chen Huai'an made will eventually be released in the Republican era.

None of them will be shown in this world.

Others eagerly await the film's release, hoping to gain the audience's approval.

It turned out to be a wasted effort, so it's normal to pay a higher salary.

However, that was the end of my contact with them.

Chen Huai'an didn't want to get involved in scandals with these actresses and end up in the entertainment gossip.

Those tabloid news stories will write anything to get clicks.

If they are photographed having a meal in private, it may be used as a publicity stunt for a secret relationship.

At that point, it won't be possible to keep a low profile.

Chen Huai'an glanced at it, then turned around to call his old classmates upstairs.

Now let's find a good spot and wait for the feast.

Given Li Hongwei and Yang Wenjia's circumstances, the people they invited to the banquet were all wealthy and powerful.

While engaged, one can also expand their network of contacts.

The feast today is naturally quite good.

I ate a bowl of noodles this morning, and now I'm feeling hungry.

Just as I was about to go upstairs, I heard enthusiastic calls from not far away: "Director Chen~!"

Her voice held a hint of shyness, but also obvious happiness.

Li Manyun strode forward, her face beaming with smiles, and said, "Director Chen, it really is you! I didn't expect you to be at today's engagement banquet. What a coincidence!"

The preceding words didn't sound strange at all.

But the last two words, "destined to meet," are completely different.

To be told "we are destined to be together" by a woman represents a certain attitude in itself.

Chen Huai'an originally wanted to leave, but upon hearing the call, he had no choice but to stop.

He turned his head and glanced at it before pretending to notice.

"Miss Li, you've come to Suzhou too?"

The deliberate use of the title "Miss Li" clearly indicates a desire to distance oneself from the situation.

However, Li Manyun seemed not to have sensed any distancing, and her smile remained bright.

She said with a smile, "I don't have any scenes to film today, but a friend just happened to ask me to be his date, so I'm just helping him out."

His voice was calm and casual, as if he were talking about something trivial.

Although it was said casually, it made everyone aware of her relationship with Wang Xianping.

We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, we just know each other.

The other party asked me to help them out by temporarily acting as their female companion to save face for them.

This kind of thing is not uncommon.

Yang Wenjia stood aside, glanced at her husband's good friend, and then at the future big star.

A thoughtful look appeared in his eyes.

As a woman, how could I not understand the meaning behind those words?

They were trying their best to clarify the relationship and avoid misunderstandings.

But when a woman tries to explain, it shows that the person she's with is very important!

Moreover, the fact that it was clarified in front of Wang Xianping elevates its importance to a new level.

Even if the two are not in a romantic relationship, it at least shows that the woman is interested in the man.

Otherwise, if it were someone insignificant, they wouldn't bother explaining.

Yang Wenjia, linking her arm with her husband's, whispered in his ear, "Did your good brother really just lose his job?"

Can a man who has just lost his job afford a luxury car worth millions?

Can you casually give away a gift worth 20?

How could a beautiful woman, who has the potential to become a big star, take the initiative to show her affection?

I have a vague feeling that there is some unknown secret!

Of course, her man and he were brothers who had risked their lives for each other.

If you truly possess some hidden talent, that would also be beneficial to you.

Li Hongwei blinked, his face full of confusion.

I secretly gave it a thumbs up!

He actually managed to hook up with a female celebrity, amazing!

Then, he glanced carefully at Wang Xianping beside him out of the corner of his eye, his eyes showing a hint of worry.

After several years of getting to know him, I have a pretty good understanding of this rich kid's character.

He is a typical arrogant and vindictive person.

He's not very capable, nor is he very shrewd, but he has quite a temper.

Anyone who dares to compete with him for a woman usually ends up in a bad situation.

Now his good friend has clearly offended him, and things are probably not going to end well.

Li Hong hurriedly explained in a low voice, "Brother Wang, please don't misunderstand. That's my brother who's risked his life for me. He didn't know about Miss Li's relationship with you. I brought him to apologize to you. I'll punish myself with three drinks later!"

His voice was urgent, and his face was full of worry.

The clearer you are about someone's character, the more serious the situation becomes.

You've messed with the woman he's set his sights on; now you're in big trouble!
