Chapter 670 - 708: The Heart of Comparison
It was already late when they returned to the hotel, so when everyone gathered together, they were ready to start the meal. There were quite a few people, ten per table, with over ten tables occupied. It wasn’t just Hu Shuzhe’s high school classmates; there were also college classmates, some were her husband’s classmates, and some classmates came with their other halves.
Generally, people wouldn’t rush to attend a classmate’s wedding, but given the wealth of Hu Shuzhe’s husband, everyone naturally had a bit of an ingratiating intention. Those who could socialize with Hu Shuzhe and her husband all wanted to come over. Today wasn’t the official day, so the number of attendees wasn’t considered a lot, with another large group expected to arrive tomorrow. It was quite lively when everyone got together.
On Michelle’s end, they filled up two tables with her high school classmates, where Sun Lii sat at the same table with her boyfriend Wu Lindong and Michelle.
Beyond recalling interesting stories from their school days, what classmates loved to talk about most was how each other was doing now.
Li Yifei and Wu Lindong, not being classmates, but rather relatives of classmates, sat together at this time, with Michelle and Sun Lii beside them.
There were latecomers to this table, and soon someone asked Sun Lii, "Sun Lii, how have you been doing?"
Sun Lii loved being asked this question, and immediately feigned modesty as she said, "I’m doing okay, just a small public servant, earning a steady income, nothing much in terms of career advancement."
"A public servant, wow, that’s really impressive. Don’t you know how many people are breaking their heads trying to become one? Haven’t you seen how many people take the civil service exams each year?"
"That’s all a misunderstanding about public servants. We only earn so much a month, it’s not even enough for my makeup expenses, let alone maintain a car. If my husband couldn’t earn a bit, it would really be impossible," Sun Lii said modestly on the surface, downplaying her own work, but subtly boasting about her husband’s capabilities and even mentioning her own car, unable to resist showing off.
"Wow, you even have a car? What kind of car did you buy?"
