Chapter 48

Following Qi Rouyun's suggestion, they ordered several bottles of beer. After one drink, the atmosphere in the private room became even more lively.

Su Xiaofan didn't say much. When someone spoke to him, he would respond a few words; when no one spoke to him, he would quietly sit on the side, drinking and eating.

Su Xiaofan observed that these classmates from Yanjing often gathered, and they were very familiar with each other. They were also very familiar with Sun Jiajia's boyfriend.

Liu Fei and Zhang Ji had been running around for the past semester to stay in Yanjing, and it seemed they planned to develop in Yanjing in the future.

Su Xiaofan didn't have a deep impression of Wu Xiaobo, a male classmate. He wasn't very noticeable in high school, but he performed well in the college entrance exam and was admitted to Beihang University. Now, he was a student council member at the university and had matured a lot.

Wu Xiaobo also wanted to develop in Yanjing. He recently successfully interviewed for a cultural tourism listed company and was interning there, spending most of his time in Miyun. He only came to the gathering after hearing from the class president.

Zhao Yu was also said to have a boyfriend, but she went back to her hometown during the holidays. Zhao Yu was interning at a well-known tech company and might also stay in Yanjing in the future, with a promising career ahead.

As for Sun Jiajia and Zhou Siwei, they stuck together as soon as they arrived, looking very affectionate.

From the conversation, Su Xiaofan could tell that Zhou Siwei was from Yanjing and his family had considerable influence in the education system. Apart from Qi Rouyun and Mo Zixuan, the others clearly lowered their stance when speaking to Zhou Siwei.

However, the children of officials weren't as arrogant as people imagined. Zhou Siwei didn't act superior and chatted and laughed with everyone, making the dinner atmosphere very lively.

Whether in school or in society, social hierarchies had already quietly formed.

At today's dinner, although Mo Zixuan spoke the least, whenever she did, she became the center of the conversation, showing her highest status in the room.

Next was Zhou Siwei. Although Liu Fei and Zhang Ji tried to act natural, Su Xiaofan could see at a glance that they were deliberately trying to please Zhou Siwei.

Wu Xiaobo and Zhao Yu were better. They both planned to join companies after graduation and were neither humble nor arrogant at the dinner, making them relatively normal.

"Su Xiaofan, I forgot to ask, why did you stay at the Yanjing University guesthouse this time?"

Qi Rouyun clinked glasses with Su Xiaofan, and her words caught the attention of a few others at the table. The Yanjing University guesthouse was usually only available to students and their parents.

"My sister was admitted to Yanjing University, and I came to register her."

Su Xiaofan put down his chopsticks and said.

"Oh, your sister is so good at studying."

Qi Rouyun was taken aback for a moment and then said, "Give me her name and contact information. If there's anything at school, feel free to contact me."

"Sure, thank you, Qi. I'll feel reassured knowing you'll take care of Xiao Xiao."

Su Xiaofan nodded, took out his phone, and sent his sister's WeChat to Qi Rouyun, then sent a message to his sister.

"Su Xiaofan, isn't it too early for your sister to come? The registration period hasn't started yet, right?"

Sun Jiajia, who came with her boyfriend, looked at Su Xiaofan curiously.

"Yes, the registration period is at the end of August. The school is on holiday now."

Zhou Siwei, Sun Jiajia's boyfriend, said, "Is your sister enrolled in a training institution under Yanjing University? They might be using Yanjing University's name to recruit students."

It wasn't that Su Xiaofan's classmates were questioning him; it was just that registering in early July was unprecedented in any university, especially a top university like Yanjing University.

"I'm not entirely sure, but she has already registered, and it was done at Yanjing University, so it should be correct."

Su Xiaofan smiled and didn't elaborate further. Some things didn't need to be said.

At this dinner, apart from having more interaction with Qi Rouyun, he had little connection with the other classmates and probably wouldn't have much interaction in the future.

"Su Xiaofan, did your sister pay tuition when she registered? How much?"

Zhao Yu, who came later, asked Su Xiaofan. She was the study committee member in high school and had a crush on Su Xiaofan.

However, back then, Su Xiaofan was a bit straight-laced and didn't have much interest in anyone except Qi Rouyun.

"Their tuition is 100,000 yuan per year."

Su Xiaofan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you all for your concern. My sister's admission is settled, and the tuition has been waived by the school. It's not a scam, and I appreciate your concern."

Su Xiaofan really didn't want to discuss his sister's schooling at the dinner table, and her special admission class was somewhat unique, so it wasn't necessary for others to know.

"Still, be careful. There are many scammers nowadays. The more they promise at the beginning, the more they will scam later."

Zhao Yu kindly warned Su Xiaofan, but seeing that he didn't want to talk about it, she didn't continue.

"Should I help you check?"

Zhou Siwei offered.

"Yes, Su Xiaofan, it's just a phone call. Let Siwei help you check."

Women often want their boyfriends to show their excellence in public, regardless of age or character, just out of vanity.

"Zhou, I'll toast you. Having an old classmate like Jiajia in Yanjing is truly fortunate."

Su Xiaofan stood up and toasted Zhou Siwei, then said, "But my sister's issue is already resolved, so I won't trouble you. If I need help in the future, I'll definitely ask you."

"Sure, we're classmates, it's just a word."

Su Xiaofan's words clearly made Sun Jiajia and Zhou Siwei feel honored. They both drank their glasses and saw that Su Xiaofan didn't want to discuss it further.

Those who could do well in university were mostly shrewd, and someone quickly changed the topic to something else.

"Su Xiaofan, is your sister in a special admission class?"

Qi Rouyun, sitting next to Su Xiaofan, asked in a low voice when she saw that the other classmates weren't paying attention.

"Wow, Class President, you're really well-informed. Even the teachers and students responsible for the reception at Yanjing University aren't very clear about it, and you know."

Su Xiaofan was a bit surprised at Qi Rouyun's knowledge.

"Mo Zixuan is the counselor for the special admission class. She can really take care of your sister."

Qi Rouyun glanced at Mo Zixuan, who didn't stop her, and continued, "I interned during the summer and have some connection with the special admission class, but don't tell anyone. They want it to be confidential."

"Wow, I met my sister's teacher. I should toast you both."

Su Xiaofan quickly raised his glass to Mo Zixuan, knowing the high standards of the special admission class. He didn't expect Mo Zixuan to be the counselor, indicating that she wasn't simple either.

"Being in the special admission class means your sister is very excellent."

Mo Zixuan took a sip of her drink. She wasn't the typical overachieving student council president and spoke little during the dinner, but her presence was like a breath of fresh air.

"Please take good care of her, Mo Teacher. If there are any issues, feel free to contact me." Meeting his sister's counselor, Su Xiaofan quickly took out his phone to add Mo Zixuan's contact information.

After a brief hesitation, Mo Zixuan didn't refuse and added Su Xiaofan's phone number and WeChat.

The high school reunion was less about ulterior motives, and everyone enjoyed the meal.

After the meal, Zhou Siwei suggested going to sing, saying that a new top-level club had opened in Yanjing and he wanted to take everyone to experience the nightlife.

Liu Fei and Zhang Ji, who were trying to integrate into Yanjing, immediately agreed. Zhao Yu and Wu Xiaobo nodded, but Su Xiaofan and Mo Zixuan were a bit hesitant.

Although Su Xiaofan seemed to get along with everyone and was polite, he actually felt a bit out of place with these students. Their social experiences were clearly very different.

Mo Zixuan, on the other hand, simply didn't like such occasions. With her status, she had many admirers and had seen many things that the others couldn't compare to. She wasn't particularly interested in the so-called club.

"Su Xiaofan, go. The gathering was initiated because of you."

Sun Jiajia said, "Mo Senior, please come too. You held the highest position in the student council, and we have many things we want to learn from you."

Although she knew the men at the table often glanced at Mo Zixuan, Sun Jiajia understood the weight of being the student council president at Yanjing University.

The student council president at Yanjing University couldn't be seen as just a student.

The president of the Yanjing University student council could connect with all the graduates of Yanjing University, a vast network with immense power, far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.

For Zhang Ji and others who wanted to stay in Yanjing, it was a non-issue for Mo Zixuan. Whether staying at the university or joining the government, she would have a smooth path and the best resources.

If they could build a good relationship with Mo Zixuan, they might find it useful in the future if they encountered any problems in Yanjing.

Zhou Siwei's suggestion to go singing was also to get closer to Mo Zixuan. Despite his good family background, his future might not compare to Mo Zixuan's.

"I have no problem, it's up to Mo Senior."

Su Xiaofan shrugged. If he said no, he would offend people.

"Alright, everyone go, but don't stay too late. We all have things to do tomorrow."

Mo Zixuan nodded. Regardless of the gathering, everyone was from Luochuan, and the bond of being from the same hometown needed to be maintained.

Although the gathering was organized by Qi Rouyun, Zhou Siwei quietly paid the bill before it ended.

After leaving the hotel, Zhou Siwei, who had driven, needed a designated driver. His car could only fit four people, so Qi Rouyun and Mo Zixuan got in.

The remaining five, including Su Xiaofan, took a minivan after learning the club's address.
