half thorns, half joy

From Xiao Zhai to the school is from one district to another.

The actual distance is not too far. If there is no traffic jam, the journey will take less than an hour.

But Tang Xuan felt that it was very far away.

She was clearly in a city, but she never went back to school, not even near the school.

Now, walking on this road leading to school, past events flooded into Tang Xuan's mind one after another.

Many pasts that she thought she had forgotten all became clearly visible.

"What are you thinking?" Xiao Zihan held Tang Xuan's hand and asked softly.

Tang Xuan shook her head, "I didn't think about anything."

"Isn't it emotional?" Xiao Zihan looked out the window and said with a smile: "In a flash, it's been a few years."

"Well. It feels like time flies so fast."

Meeting Xiao Zihan and becoming a couple with Xiao Zihan seemed like yesterday.

But in a blink of an eye, she had already had a child with Xiao Zihan, separated and reunited, and experienced countless ups and downs.

Xiao Zihan held Tang Xuan's hand even tighter.

"In short, we are still together now, which is the best."

Tang Xuan nodded and hummed.

Both of them had undercurrents in their hearts, reminiscing about the past that could never come back, and neither of them spoke again for the rest of the journey.

The driver drove the car directly into the University of Finance and Economics and parked in the parking lot near the auditorium.

Tang Xuan got out of the car with Xiao Zihan and walked towards the auditorium.

"ladies and gentlemen."

As soon as they reached the door, the two of them were stopped by student volunteers wearing banners.

"Excuse me, are you here to participate in the event?"

The student volunteers were polite, "Please show the invitation letter."

Xiao Zihan didn't have that kind of thing at all.

No, there are.

After the principal called to invite, he sent the invitation letter to the company. At that time, Xiao Zihan just glanced at it and disposed of it as garbage.

So right now, they don't have an invitation letter.

The student volunteer saw that Xiao Zihan didn't bring it, so he politely but politely blocked the aisle with his body: "Sir, Ma'am, I'm really sorry, except for the students of our school, other people outside the school must show their invitation letter when entering the auditorium."

This time, Tang Xuan was dumbfounded.

She and Xiao Zihan came here recklessly. As people who entered the society, they had long forgotten the rule that people outside the school cannot enter casually during major school events.

"What should I do?" Tang Xuan asked Xiao Zihan.

Xiao Zihan looked around, but didn't see anyone he knew.

That's right, he had been away from school for several years, and the people he knew at school, including the teachers, had changed from batch to batch.

These days, the turnover of personnel is so fast.

"Forget it, I'll call the principal." Xiao Zihan sighed. He originally wanted to keep a low profile and leave after entering, but he didn't expect that this way would not work.

This sentence was heard by student volunteers.

Immediately, his face changed into various colors, which looked wonderful.

Some disbelief, some shock, and even some doubts.

Tang Xuan was amused by the colorful expressions on the faces of the student volunteers. She looked at her and Xiao Zihan's attire.

Indeed, the ordinary ones are like two office workers, and they don't look like people invited by the school to participate in activities.

"Well, okay, then you come here."

Xiao Zihan hung up the phone and said to Tang Xuan, "Okay, the principal said to come pick us up."

When the student volunteers heard it, they immediately stood up straight, as if they couldn't believe their ears.

The principal was already preparing matters in the auditorium, but when he received a call from Xiao Zihan, he immediately walked out of the auditorium. He strode towards Xiao Zihan with an extremely amiable smile.

"You are here, my outstanding alumni."

Holding Xiao Zihan's hand, he also patted Xiao Zihan's shoulder affectionately.

The student volunteer had never stood so close to the principal. His face was flushed, his head drooped, as if he was extremely ashamed, and he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get in.

The principal exchanged simple greetings with Xiao Zihan, and looked towards the student volunteers.

The student volunteer caught the principal's eyes and immediately bowed to Xiao Zihan ninety degrees: "Yes... I'm sorry. I didn't know you were an alumnus of this school, sorry!"

Tang Xuan laughed and smoothed things over for the poor student volunteers.

"Hey, it suddenly occurred to me that when I was a student volunteer, I was also so young. It's so good, I feel young. Young man, work hard, and the future can be expected."

The principal originally wanted to make a statement so that an outstanding alumnus like Xiao Zihan would not feel treated coldly.

Seeing that Tang Xuan didn't care about it, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

"Go in." Xiao Zihan said.

"Okay, I've reserved the first row of seats for you, and the ceremony will start later, I would like to ask, have you had dinner yet?"

……

The student volunteers did not relax until the principal walked into the auditorium and his back disappeared.

He belatedly realized that in just a few tens of seconds, his legs went limp.

At this time, a girl who also had a volunteer banner came over quickly and tugged at the boy's sleeve.

"Hey, let me tell you, are you stupid?"

"What?" The boy wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The girl glanced at the auditorium, "That couple just now, you were actually stopped, you don't know who it is!"

The boy frowned and shook his head: "I don't know."

"I'm really ignorant!" The expression on the girl's face was extremely exaggerated, "Let me tell you, that's the boss of the famous Xiao Group, Xiao Zihan!"

The Xiao Group is well-known throughout the country, and it is even a leading enterprise in this city.

Even if you don't know Xiao Zihan and the Xiao Group, everyone knows about it.

After hearing this, the boy opened his mouth wide enough to fit an egg.

"You, you really don't know Taishan with your eyes. Fortunately, people don't care about you. Tell me, if people are more careful, just because you stopped him just now, you will suffer a lot!"

The boy scratched his head and regretted it later: "Then what...they were dressed so ordinary, I didn't see it."

The girl clicked her tongue a few times, crossed her arms and scolded the boy: "So as the old saying goes, people should not be judged by their appearance. Tell me about you. You are such a big man, but you still judge people by their appearance. Don't you know that the real rich people are special Are you low-key!"

The boy was speechless, so he simply shut his mouth and listened to the girl's blame.

Hearing the girl gossiping for a while, talking about how low-key and loving this rich and powerful couple is, the boy couldn't help but become curious.

"Since they are so low-key, how do you know them? They haven't participated in many activities, so how did you recognize them?"

"I..." the girl concluded, "I read gossip!"

"Huh?" The boy was stunned.

The girl waved her hand: "Oh, you don't understand. The love-hate story of this couple is the most exciting story in the world. Forget it. Anyway, you don't like to hear it, so I won't talk about it."

Boy: "..."

He didn't understand, what gossip?
"Okay, let's keep working. When everyone is here, we can change shifts and go to dinner."

Until the girl walked away, the boy was still thinking about what the girl said just now.

What is the story of love and hatred?
……

Tang Xuan and Xiao Zihan were sitting in the first row of the auditorium. Xiao Zihan had discussed with the principal and skipped the stage of speaking.

Of course, this is not difficult for Xiao Zihan, he is just lazy.

Seeing other successful and outstanding alumni speaking on stage, Tang Xuan couldn't help teasing Xiao Zihan: "Why don't you go up and speak? Are you worried that you won't be able to be an excellent role model for the students?"

"Yeah, people like me have nothing to learn from." Xiao Zihan agreed.

Tang Xuan immediately gasped, and looked at Xiao Zihan, "I haven't heard you say such a thing before. You've always been very confident, why are you talking about yourself like that all of a sudden?"

"What do you say about yourself?"

"It sounds condescending to say 'someone like me'."

Xiao Zihan laughed: "What, I didn't mean that."

"Then what do you mean?"

Xiao Zihan glanced at the alumni speaking on the stage again, leaned closer to Tang Xuan, and whispered, "What I mean is, my success is not suitable for telling these students. They can't copy it, and they can't learn from it."

Tang Xuan still didn't understand.

So, Xiao Zihan explained more clearly: "Then tell me, what do they learn from me, how do they learn from me to inherit billions of dollars?"

"Pfft." Tang Xuan understood now.

It turned out that Xiao Zihan meant this.

Xiao Zihan raised his chin towards the stage: "That one, who started from scratch and is now a successful person, is the role model for everyone to learn from."

Tang Xuan was amused by Xiao Zihan's words, and her eyes were crooked.

It has to be said that Xiao Zihan's skills in showing off his wealth are different from others.

Although his words sounded a bit unworthy, they were indeed true. The success of many successful people cannot be replicated.

Especially people like Xiao Zihan.

The starting point of others may be the end of others.

"Speaking of which, there is a way to go directly to success like me." Xiao Zihan said suddenly.

Tang Xuan couldn't help becoming curious, "What way?"

"you guess?"

"I don't guess, just tell me."

"Guess what."

"I don't guess, it's fine if you don't say it."

Tang Xuan folded her arms and pretended to be serious to listen to the speech of the person on the stage.

Xiao Zihan couldn't stand this kind of neglect, so he immediately grabbed Tang Xuan's hand and pulled Tang Xuan to his side.

"Hey, listen to me."

Tang Xuan laughed, "Then tell me, and I'll listen."

"Hmph." Xiao Zihan snorted angrily, but said anyway, "The secret to success is you."

"Me?" Tang Xuan was puzzled.

But soon, she reacted.

She couldn't help laughing.

"Being me is not easy."

"That's natural." Xiao Zihan also smiled.

The hands of the two were tightly clasped together.

The secret to going straight to success is to marry someone who is already at the finish line.
