Chapter 518 -281: Old Classmate, Boss_2
They casually sat on chairs and the bed, starting to chat and catch up on old times.
Sun Simin even opened her QQ space, bringing out some photos from their university days.
Zheng Jinpeng stood by quietly, watching them chat and reminiscing about the past, his gaze gradually becoming distant.
He had already accepted that Wen Ruan had a boyfriend, but after all, she was his first love, and he inevitably found it hard to let go.
Noticing his gaze, Li Qingqing pursed her lips, a hint of reluctance flashing in her eyes.
During their university days, Wen Ruan had been a prominent figure in their major, excelling in many aspects.
As for her, due to her poor family background and shy nature, she had been quite inconspicuous at school.
Even her crush, Zheng Jinpeng, had been deeply infatuated with Wen Ruan.
It had been she who had taken the initiative to pursue a relationship with him.
Unfortunately, a lack of affection still meant a lack of affection, and she didn’t see much love from Zheng Jinpeng.
They had soon broken up.
Now, as they met again as classmates, his eyes were still only for her.
Li Qingqing felt as though she was seeing her college inferiority and helplessness all over again.
She took a deep breath, looking at Wen Ruan, “By the way, Wen Ruan, are you still developing your career in Yan City? What job are you doing now?”
“I was working as a planner at a media company, but I just resigned a few days ago.” Wen Ruan said calmly, “I guess I’m unemployed now.”
Hearing this, Li Qingqing’s eyes flickered slightly, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curled up.
Her mood improved a lot.
Fate really is wonderful.
Meeting again, the once dazzling Wen Ruan had now faded into the crowd.
Whereas she had now risen above and fulfilled her past expectations for herself.
The only thing that upset her was that Zheng Jinpeng still could not forget about Wen Ruan.
Sun Simin quickly interjected, “Star Cloud International is opening a branch in Yan City, and Ruannuan plans to switch jobs there, so she resigned. She went for an interview with our vice president today.”
She knew her best friend very well. 𝓷ℴ𝓿𝓹𝓾𝒷.𝓬𝓸𝓂
Although Wen Ruan appeared calm, she was actually a confident and proud person.
She did not want others, especially her old classmates, to see her fail.
“Oh, that’s also good.” Li Qingqing covered her mouth and chuckled softly, “The catering competition in Imperial City is so intense, we’re always thinking of expanding to the surrounding areas, and Yan City is the provincial capital closest to Imperial City. When I come over to explore the market, you, as a local, must host me.”
“No problem, just contact me when the time comes.” Wen Ruan’s face showed no emotional fluctuation.
Li Qingqing opened her purse and pulled out a business card to hand over, “This is my contact information, let’s add each other on WeChat later.”
Wen Ruan took the business card and glanced at it.
[Imperial City Hengsheng Catering Management Limited Company, Marketing Manager, Li Qingqing]
…
The sky outside the window was gradually darkening.
Another dormmate, Li Meng, also hurried over.
She currently worked at a state-owned enterprise in Shen City, where she had settled down and was leading a content life.
Having graduated from Imperial Normal University, a prestigious university, these classmates were all doing well eight years later.
Wang Jiao clung to her good sister and asked with concern, “Wen Ruan, how did the interview at Star Cloud International go? Is your chance of success high?”
Wen Ruan was silent for a moment before speaking in a low voice, “I haven’t seen President Ji yet, so I’m not sure.”
She would absolutely not owe Zhang Zihang any favors.
If it were through his connections that she returned to Star Cloud International with such high treatment,
wouldn’t that confirm the previous rumors?
It would be better to wait and discuss everything face-to-face with Ji Qiuyu.
“I see, all right,” Wang Jiao looked a bit worried as she patted her on the shoulder, “If there are fewer opportunities in Yan City, you could try Imperial City. I have connections here.”
After all, Star Cloud International was a reputable large corporation.
Their employee recruitment process was very strict.
Wen Ruan, unmarried and childless at 30, was least preferred by companies.
Over the years, she had seen and heard many similar cases.
That’s why she had decisively chosen to work at the Imperial TV Station right after graduation.
Sun Simin also comforted her, “Don’t worry, with your capabilities, there shouldn’t be a problem. Besides, my husband’s company deals with HR consulting. Just send your resume to me, and I’ll make sure everything is arranged for you!”
Hearing their conversation, Li Qingqing suddenly laughed, “Wen Ruan, if you want to work in Imperial City, you could send me your resume. Our company’s operations department is hiring, and it’s a supervisory position. It wouldn’t be beneath you.”
After saying this, she glanced at Zheng Jinpeng.
The invitation was indeed sincere.
If she could make Wen Ruan her subordinate, that would truly be her ultimate defeat. Just the thought of it was exhilarating.
“Thank you, but no need, I don’t want to leave Yan City.” Wen Ruan looked at Li Qingqing.
She was a very perceptive person and keenly sensed the other’s intentions.
She couldn’t help but sigh internally.
Comparison is human nature.
If they weren’t really good friends, seeing her current circumstances, they probably felt more schadenfreude and delight, right?
“Dong dong dong—” The sound of knocking interrupted their conversation.
Sun Simin opened the door.
Following that, Zhou Bo came in with a smile, “It’s almost dinner time, everyone get ready, let’s go grab a meal. By the way, Wen Ruan, don’t forget to invite your boyfriend over. He’s going to be my groomsman, so I need to discuss tomorrow’s schedule with him.”
“Alright, Brother Bo.” Wen Ruan nodded and shared the restaurant location with Tang Song.
Tomorrow was the wedding, and other university classmates who were in touch would be there.
