Realization dawned on me. "Ah?
No wonder our homeroom teacher suddenly lost her front teeth. So it was Sun Peng who knocked them out? "
Su Qian said, "Of course!
Sun Peng used to be a bad guy.
He had a big round head, and when he wrinkled his nose, he would be up to no good. But he had a lot of friends in school. "
I nodded again and said, "How did he end up working in Beijing's Inspection Department?"
Su Qian thought for a bit and said, "I asked him in the group. Apparently, after he graduated from high school, he served as a soldier in Beijing for two years.
Then, his father knew a big official in Beijing, and just like that, he was secretly arranged to work in the Inspection Department.
He's already a one-bar, three-star official now.
I saw him in uniform last time, and he looked so cool! "
I was stunned. I couldn't imagine that a bad boy who was a tyrant in school would become a government official.
What would he look like in that police uniform?
But in reality, I was happy for him.
After all, whether it was through his ability or connections, it was a blessing for him to have such achievements and prospects in Beijing.
Su Qian saw my hesitation and checkmated me. "What, are you jealous?
He's the most promising among our classmates. "
I shook my head and said doubtfully, "No way.
Aren't there still people who do business and work for PetroChina? Just look at you, you opened such a big clothing supermarket, so you must earn more than him.
You're a businessman, and he's a government official. You have more potential than him! "
Su Qian sighed and said, "What's so great about doing business?
My scale, sigh, it's nothing.
Thirty to twenty thousand a month's net profit isn't even enough for me to buy cosmetics!
I don't even have a house in Beijing, so I can't afford it. Beijing's housing prices are too high.
My god, how many years would I have to save up? "
I complained, "You think thirty to twenty thousand a month is too little?
Sun Pengyue's income is three to five thousand at most. It can't compare to you! "
Su Qian clicked her tongue. "Wow!
I can tell you don't understand the government and China's current situation.
Being an official, being a government official, that's an iron rice bowl!
On the surface, it's three to five thousand yuan a month. If you can't see the income, it's at least thirty to fifty thousand yuan!
For example, Sun Peng had secretly collaborated on a speculative project with an annual income of one or two million!
He drives a BMW, lives in a villa, and has a lot of girlfriends. "
I smiled. "Are you exaggerating?"
Susie widened her eyes and said, "You're exaggerating?
And this was still considered a small number!
Some time ago, there was a case in Beijing. Do you know how much money a Deputy Division Chief official had embezzled?
You'll be scared to death if I tell you. "
I asked tentatively, "How many can there be?"
Su Qian stretched out three fingers and bluffed, "Three hundred million, three hundred million!
It was said that he had 12 mistresses … Even the secretary that he didn't think highly of drove a BMW and lived in a bungalow.
This was officialdom!
That's why I said that Sun Peng has a bright future. He even helped me some time ago.
I bought a car a month ago. At that time, I didn't have a driver's license. I was stopped by the traffic police on the road. Then, I called Sun Peng.
Guess what happened in less than three minutes? "
I asked, "What happened?"
Su Qian said, "The traffic police who stopped me secretly told me that he would treat me to dinner tonight to calm me down!"
Hearing this, I only smiled faintly.
To be exact, how could I not understand the current situation in China? How could I not understand the entanglement of China's law enforcement agencies?
The various departments and units of the government were very accommodating with each other. Even if you knew an ordinary traffic police, you could run red lights and violate traffic laws. If you knew the captain of the traffic police, you could drive a smuggler's car while drinking, speeding, and running red lights while talking on your phone. It didn't matter.
Anyway, there would be someone to take care of it for you.
We talked about Sun Peng for a long time. It seemed that we could learn a lot from his personal experience.
He was a person that no one would have thought would have a bright future, but in the end, he was the most promising.
Wasn't this a naked irony?
After talking about Sun Peng, Su Qian started to bring up Niu Dezhu.
Niu Dezhu, just like his name, had the spirit of a willing ox when he was in school.
He was honest, but also smart. He didn't like to cause trouble.
Because of this, he made a lot of friends who trusted him. It was because of these friends that he was able to enter the PetroChina Petroleum Company through layers of connections. He was also a driver for the top leaders of the company, so his salary was very high.
To be exact, his experience wasn't surprising. He deserved to have such a position and achievements.
Of course, Sun Peng and Niu Dezhu were two of the best among our classmates.
Apart from the two of them, there were many classmates who kept in touch or lost contact with each other. They were living a life of fire and water.
At least half of our classmates were either running businesses, farming at home, or working in small, medium, and small businesses.
We talked about our high school classmates one by one. No matter who they were, Su Qian and I analyzed and discussed them.
There were always endless topics to talk about among old classmates.
In the blink of an eye, another hour passed.
It was already eleven in the morning!
However, Su Qian and I didn't realize how fast time had passed. We continued to talk about the past, reminiscing about you who sat at the same table, and her who sat at the next table …
However, all good things must come to an end. You Meng and her sister, who had been listening to our conversation as if they were listening to a heavenly book, finally couldn't stand the passing of time.
Cheng Xinjie was the first to suggest, "Brother-in-law, are we still going to buy clothes?"
You Meng was more tactful. She directly said to Su Qian, "Well, it's getting late. We have to go back.
How about this, you leave your contact information. Since we're all in Beijing, we have plenty of time to meet. "
Su Qian finally realized something and smiled awkwardly. She calmly stood up and took out her phone. She was shocked and shouted, "Oh my god, it's already 11: 30!
You can't go, you can't go!
I'll treat you to lunch. It's not easy to meet a classmate from my hometown. We're from the same hometown and also classmates. I won't let you go! "Su Qian looked at me happily, waiting for my answer.
To be more precise, I really wanted to stay and talk to Su Qian.
However, You Meng had just arrived and she said she would only stay in Wangjing for a day.
To a certain extent, it was more important to spend time with one's girlfriend than with classmates.
Thus, I turned to Su Qian and said, "It's fine, Su Qian.
I'll treat you when I have time. "
Su Qian pouted and questioned, "You're not giving me face, old classmate?"
I said, "It's not that I'm not giving you face, but I really have something to do.
My girlfriend is coming to find me, and she's only here for a day. I have to arrange things for her and accompany her to buy things. How about this, when I'm free in a few days, I'll contact you. When we have time, we can gather our classmates in Beijing and have a chat. "
Su Qian suddenly realized and said, "Oh, I almost forgot to tell you if you didn't mention it!
Before the New Year, we discussed that we would arrange a classmate gathering.
There would be about seven or eight people participating. Sun Peng, Niu Dezhu, Yang Kening, Hao Mei, and me.
Now that I've met you, you have to participate too. "
I probed, "When will it be?"
Su Qian calculated and said, "Probably the night after tomorrow!
Yes, yes, the night after tomorrow! "
I asked again, "Has the location been decided?
What about the time? "
Su Qian said, "There's no rush, we'll discuss it when the time comes.
Don't worry, you don't need to spend money, and we don't need to spend money either. Sun Peng said he'll treat! "
I smiled and said, "So generous, as expected of someone from the Inspection Department!"
Su Qian smiled and said, "The cost of a meal is nothing to him.
That BMW he drives is worth more than a million! "
I pinched my nose and said self-deprecatingly, "Can't compare, can't compare.
Comparisons are odious.
Fortunately, I don't like to be jealous of others! "
Su Qian smiled and said, "You, when did you become so glib?
Oh right, let me tell you about our group. Remember, there are more than twenty classmates in the group. "
I said, "I'm all ears."
Su Qian repeated the group twice. After I memorized it, we exchanged numbers.
Then, she sent us out of the clothing store.
Standing in front of my Great Wall car, Su Qian mysteriously moved next to me and pointed at a shopping center not far away. She said, "Old classmate, if you really want to buy clothes, go to that shopping center.
The price difference is lower there.
It's not a scam. "
I was stunned. Su Qian said directly, "To tell you the truth, the clothing industry depends on luck.
Look at our family's clothing store, the prices are so high that it's scary.
In fact, most of them are knockoffs and not worth much.
A Cheval Fenner jacket that sells for 8,600 only costs about four to five hundred RMB. "
I was stunned. "Is it that exaggerated?"
Su Qian shushed me and smiled. "Don't let other people know.
I've only told you this before.
The current society was a very strange one.
It can't be helped.
For example, if I put a price tag of three hundred RMB on a piece of clothing, the customers won't even look at it. But if I put a price tag of three thousand RMB on it, it will be sold out in a short time.
When we do business, we have to understand the psychology of the customers. Only by hitting the psychological barrier of the customers can we make money and increase our profits. "
I joked, "You call this cheating the customers!
It's illegal! "
Su Qian crossed her arms and scolded, "Picking up trash isn't illegal, but you can't make money.
If you follow the law, you can't make money. "Su Qian smiled cutely as if she was teaching me about business.
I didn't say anything else.
Just as I was about to open the car door, Su Qian seemed to think of something and said, "Actually, you don't have to be a security guard."
I smiled and asked, "Why?"
