Chapter 519 - 519 281 Old Classmate Boss_3
?Chapter 519: Chapter 281 Old Classmate, Boss_3 Chapter 519: Chapter 281 Old Classmate, Boss_3 Tonight was just a simple dinner and chat among the closest friends.
Upon hearing their conversation, Wang Jiao was stunned, exclaiming in surprise, “Ruannuan, when did you have a boyfriend?”
She had recently become pregnant and was not in great shape, plus she had work to keep her busy.
She hadn’t been in contact with other roommates and didn’t know that Wen Ruan had a partner.
Simin smiled and said, “Isn’t it a nice surprise? He’s a handsome guy who can play and sing, and he’s a super fit young dude, only 25 this year.”
“OMG! Ruannuan is actually in love! Oh my God!” Wang Jiao said excitedly, “Do you have a photo? Let me see!”
Li Meng also crowded in, “I haven’t seen him either, let me have a look.”
Wen Ruan shrugged helplessly yet happily, opened her phone gallery, found some photos taken during their recent fun in Imperial City, and showed them.
“Ah! Oh my goodness!” Wang Jiao’s eyes sparkled as she looked at the guy in the photo, “What a good-looking young hunk! I always said Ruannuan was all about looks! Now look, she’s gone full throttle, not hiding anymore, rolling out a May-December romance.”
“Wow, your little boyfriend is really impressive. Ruannuan, you’re so lucky!”
“We truly love each other,” Wen Ruan snapped the phone back, “Stop looking, he’ll be here soon, then you can see him all you want.”
Wang Jiao grabbed Wen Ruan’s hand, full of curiosity, “How did you guys meet? How long have you been together?”
“A girlfriend introduced us; we’ve been together for just over a month…” Wen Ruan briefly shared their relationship journey.
Since she had decided to be with him come what may, she had fewer reservations.
Li Qingqing looked at the downcast Zheng Jinpeng and asked, “Wen Ruan, what does your boyfriend do for work?”
Wen Ruan glanced at her and said flatly, “He mainly runs his own business doing live-stream e-commerce, and also has some part-time jobs.”
Wang Jiao happily said, “Oh, he’s a young man with ambition. Not bad, not bad, a good match for you, Ruannuan.”
Li Qingqing added, “Is he a live-streamer? I used to work at an MCN company.”
“Not a live-streamer, and I’m not too clear on the specifics,” Wen Ruan gently shook her head, looking Li Qingqing in the eye, “and I have my own career plans.”
“Alright, I’m interested in live-streaming, and my company is also expanding in that area. I’ll discuss it with him when I meet him,” Li Qingqing nodded nonchalantly.
She felt that Wen Ruan was deliberately bragging about her boyfriend.
So handsome, and can play and sing, this guy is probably just a minor internet celebrity.
She actually knew quite a few of these people; they had limited capabilities and unstable incomes.
“Alright, enough chatting, let’s go eat.”
“I’m hungry too, let’s go.”
…
As they stepped out of the hotel, the sultry evening breeze hit them.
Since the restaurant was only 300 meters away, they decided to walk along the street instead of driving.
At dusk, the remnants of the sunset draped a faint orange veil over the street.
Tomorrow was her own wedding, and Simin, walking ahead of the crowd, was in an excellent mood.
She tugged at Zhou Bo’s arm, smiling, “Honey, will Zhiyong be able to return to Imperial City today?”
Zhang Zhiyong was Zhou Bo’s original choice for best man, a college classmate, and now a colleague.
The two were long-time good friends.
Zhou Bo glanced at his wristwatch and smiled, “He’s already off the train and on his way here. This guy has been crazily working overtime lately, even rushed through the weekend’s schedule.”
“Haha, that’s good,” Simin said helplessly, “Everything’s fine with your company except for the frequent business trips. Can you ask your boss to switch departments?”
Zhou Bo was in the company’s research department, one of the toughest departments.
He often traveled all over the country, sometimes being away for half a month at a time.
“Well, this…” Zhou Bo scratched his buzz cut, “I’ve been wanting to move to the Consulting Services Department, but just haven’t had the chance.”
Simin pinched his arm and said irritably, “Yeah right, you’re just too honest, don’t know how to please the boss, always missing out on opportunities. You’ve been saying for three years you’d try to get into Consulting Services, but there’s still no movement.”
At that time, when the Promotion and Marketing Department was restructuring its organizational framework, Knowledgeable was the outsourcing agency, given its close capital relationships.
The pair met and got to know each other during this process, gradually drawing closer.
It was also because Zhou Bo was a good, dependable person that she chose to save money with him to buy a house and get married, without asking him for any dowry.
As his wife complained about his job again, Zhou Bo quickly pointed toward a restaurant by the roadside, “It’s that Northeast Restaurant up front, truly authentic, especially the sweet and sour pork, it’s delicious!”
Hearing this, everyone turned to look in the direction of the restaurant.
The fashionably minimalist storefront looked clean and sanitary.
Just then, an elegant, sophisticated black Maybach slowly pulled into an open spot in front of them.
The shiny rims gleamed under the sunset’s glow, and the low hum of the engine was almost imperceptible.
Immediately, it drew several gazes.
The rear car door was gently pushed open, and a tall figure stepped out.
He wore a high-quality white T-shirt, hinting at a firm chest and subtly defined muscles.
His trousers were impeccably tailored.
The setting sun cast its rays from his side, outlining his undulating contours.
His nose was straight, his lips thin, and his Adam’s apple well-defined.
A smile of joy and delight instantly spread across Wen Ruan’s face.
