Chapter 628 The ugly duckling turns into a white swan
Listening to Guo Mengyao’s account of Cheng Yuhan’s experiences over the years, Chen Feng couldn’t help but sigh.
In high school, Cheng Yuhan was undoubtedly recognized as the school beauty. From the first year of high school, she attracted the admiration and fascination of countless boys.
In the three years of high school, there has never been a girl more beautiful and more elegant than her in the whole school.
Even Chen Feng, a bookworm, was full of affection for her back then, and even had some admiration for her. This was the admiration of a young man, a natural yearning for beautiful people and things.
It was just that in his eyes at that time, Cheng Yuhan was a proud daughter of heaven. Not only was she a city girl, but she was also very particular about food and clothing. It was obvious that her family was very well off at that time.
In addition, she has too many suitors, including some rich and powerful second generation people. It is impossible for Chen Feng, a rural student, to compare with these people.
Of course, the more important thing is that Chen Feng has always had a clear understanding of himself. He knows that coming from a family like his, going to college is the only way to change his destiny and achieve a class jump to become a superior person. way.
Except for taking the college entrance examination and going to college, all other things must be put aside. The love between children and other things will not be too late after being admitted to college.
His idea is very correct.
For countless small town question writers, the college entrance examination is the only way to change their destiny. Only by going to college can small town question writers have the opportunity to escape from the lower class. After graduating from college, if they can take the public examination again Only by successfully editing can one truly break away from the lower class.
Unfortunately, even if Chen Feng successfully entered a relatively first-class university, the four years of university passed in a blur. After graduation, he did not take the public entrance examination, let alone the postgraduate entrance examination, and could only become a migrant worker.
Originally, if he had not been on the wrong team in the company, he might have been able to fight his way through the workplace and join the middle class in the future with his own abilities.
Of course he didn't get what he wanted, because he was on the wrong team and was suppressed in the company, turning him into a complete loser.
His experiences before his divorce last year are actually a microcosm and representative of many small town essayists.
Not all question-answers in small towns will have a good future after being admitted to university. Only a few of them can go ashore after passing the public examination. Most of them will eventually end up in the vast sea of people. Ordinary migrant workers cannot afford to live in the city and cannot return to the countryside.
After Chen Feng sighed silently in his heart, he couldn't help but ask: "How do you know such details?"
Guo Mengyao smiled and said: "Yuhan told me herself. , she asked me to keep it a secret, I only told you, you have to help keep it a secret and don’t tell anyone else.”
Chen Feng was speechless for a while, wanting to say that she trusted you so much and asked you to keep it a secret. But you told me.
It is indeed a woman’s mouth, a liar.
Chen Feng nodded and sighed: "I really didn't expect that Cheng Yuhan would go through so many things in these years. Fortunately, it seems that she has a good ending now. At least her husband loves her and she has a daughter."
< br>Guo Mengyao shook her head and sighed: "You don't know this. She actually doesn't like her current husband very much. She just wanted to fulfill her mother's last wish and she married an old man who was honest, reliable and good to her. .certainly , it is also very important that this old man is rich.
However, the fly in the ointment is that her husband has a son with his ex-wife, who is in college, and her husband is also very good to his son. In the future, her husband’s property may not be left to her and her daughter.”
Chen Feng asked curiously: “What does her husband do?”
“Shangtai Electrical Appliances, you know?” Guo Mengyao asked.
Chen Feng couldn't help but look shocked when he heard this, and said in surprise: "Her husband is not the boss of Shangtai Electrical Appliances, is he? However, it seems that the boss of Shangtai is probably sixty or seventy years old. Is he the son of the boss of Shangtai?" < br>
Shangtai Electrical Appliances has a certain reputation across the country, and it is well-known in Lu City. It is the first batch of star private enterprises in Lushi to go global. Now the entire Shangtai Electrical Appliances Co., Ltd. The group's market capitalization is approaching 100 billion.
The boss of Shangtai Electrical Appliances is a well-known figure, a famous private entrepreneur with many titles, and is talked about by many people in Lushi.
"Of course not." Guo Mengyao shook her head quickly, and then smiled, "Looking at your expression just now, you were shocked. But also, if she really married Li Guohui or his son, it would be a big deal. "
Li Guohui is the boss of Shangtai Electrical Appliances. He was once the richest man in Lu City, and now he is among the top in wealth in Lu City. Chen Feng didn't think of his name before, but when Guo Mengyao mentioned it, he remembered it.
Chen Feng frowned and asked: "It's not Li Guohui or his son, is it a shareholder of Shangtai Electric?"
Guo Mengyao smiled and nodded and said: "You guessed it. Speaking of which, he and Li Guohui are somewhat related, so, When Li Guohui's capital turnover was difficult in the early days of his business, his father spent some money to invest in shares. After so many years, although his father's remaining shares were diluted to only a little bit, not even 1%, but Compared with the current 100-billion-dollar Shangtai Electric Co., Ltd., he is also one of the directors and makes a lot of money from dividends every year. In addition, he also owns a large-scale valve factory. It's definitely possible to earn several million a year."
"That's pretty good."
Chen Feng commented somewhat perfunctorily. In fact, if Cheng Yuhan's husband is just like this. , Chen Feng really looks down on him now. After all, he just opened a film and television company and made hundreds of millions in less than half a year.
In addition, when Guo Mengyao talked about Shangtai Electrical Appliances at first, he mistakenly thought that her husband was Li Guohui or his son, but it turned out that he was a small director of Shangtai Electrical Appliances who did not even have 1% of the shares. The gap was so big that Chen Feng suddenly lost interest.
This means that different statuses have different values, and the perspective and ideological realm of looking at people are also different.
Before his divorce, a rich man like Cheng Yuhan and her husband was someone he had always looked up to but could not reach.
Guo Mengyao saw the perfunctory tone in his tone and smiled: "Don't underestimate her husband. Her husband's net worth is over a billion, which is no worse than ours."
With a net worth of more than one billion, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is considered a wealthy man, but now it is nothing in the eyes of Chen Feng and Guo Mengyao. "I don't even know her husband, how could I look down on him?" After Chen Feng replied, he asked curiously, "You just said that Zhao Zixuan is more beautiful than Cheng Yuhan. What happened? She won't have plastic surgery, right?"
Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes at him and said: "Don't talk nonsense, it will slander someone's innocence. She was beautiful to begin with, but she didn't like to dress up in high school, and even deliberately acted ugly. And because of her personality, she didn't like to talk much. Her performance made no one pay much attention to her, especially you. "Boys, your eyes were all focused on Cheng Yuhan at that time, and you basically turned a blind eye to the other girls in the class."
Chen Feng heard a strong sourness from her words, and seemed to be on behalf of Zhao Zixuan. She was complaining about injustice, but actually she was complaining about herself.
The situation at that time was indeed like this. The eyes of the boys in the class were basically sucked away by Cheng Yuhan. Under the light of Cheng Yuhan, other women seemed to be eclipsed, including of course Guo Mengyao, the then The man is pregnant.
"I believe you when you say that she doesn't like to dress up, but when you say that she deliberately looks ugly, how is that possible?" Chen Feng said somewhat seriously.
Guo Mengyao said seriously: "She really acted ugly in high school. She said it was her mother's request. Several female classmates in the same dormitory with her knew it. If she had let her hair down at that time, After taking off her low-prescription glasses, she looked like a beautiful woman, and she was wearing big black-rimmed eyes. She often wears a mirror, her hair is often tied into very rustic braids, and she wears ordinary clothes. Of course, she can't attract the attention of you boys. And this is what her mother wants, because she is afraid that she will fall in love early in high school, or that some boys will harass her. She is a good girl, and she just listens to her mother’s orders and pretends to be ugly on purpose.”
"There is such a weird mother?" Chen Feng didn't believe it.
“It is normal to have such a mother. She is worried that her daughter will fall in love prematurely or to protect her daughter from bad people, so she will deliberately act ugly. Especially before she is underage, this arrangement is actually quite good.”
When Chen Feng thought about it carefully, it seemed that it was indeed normal and even sensible. If he has a daughter in the future and she is very beautiful, he might do this in junior high school and deliberately make her look ugly to prevent her from falling in love prematurely or being targeted by bad people.
Of course, this also depends on her own wishes. If she firmly disagrees, it will definitely not be easy for her parents to force her.
"So, Zhao Zixuan was not ugly to begin with, and now she is even more beautiful. Do you have a photo of her? Send it to me."
Chen Feng was quite curious about the current appearance of Zhao Zixuan, his high school classmate. Especially according to Guo Mengyao, he was even more beautiful than Cheng Yuhan. This made him even more curious and wanted to see his true appearance.
Guo Mengyao replied angrily: "What's so good about the photo? It's up to you to see the real person the day after tomorrow. She will also attend Qin Zhen's engagement party."
Chen Feng smiled and said, Instead of insisting on looking at the photos, I asked instead He said: "What is Zhao Zixuan doing now? Is she married?"
When Guo Mengyao heard him ask this, she was a little unhappy, but she still said: "She is still single. In addition, she read Zhen Zhen Graduate student of Dan University, now She works in an investment bank in Shanghai, with a monthly salary of 100k, and an annual income of more than one million. Now, she has bought a house and a car in Shanghai through her own efforts. Coupled with her impressive family background, wow, if I do. If he is a man, he will probably chase her After all, after catching him, he not only gained people and money, but also had connections with her parents’ family to rely on.”
Chen Feng asked, “Isn’t her family really ordinary when she was studying? See it.”
Guo Mengyao said: "You just immersed yourself in studying at that time. What do you know? But I have noticed it a long time ago. Many teachers were very friendly to her at that time. Especially the mathematics teacher of Jiejie Shitai, she was very kind to other students. They are all very strict, but Zhao Zixuan is the only one who speaks softly."
< br>Chen Feng had no impression of these, and just shook his head: "I didn't see it."
Guo Mengyao continued to reveal the news: "Her mother is from the Magic City, and her grandfather was in the Magic City back then. My grandmother is a university professor, and I have two uncles, one older than the other. It's amazing, and I have an aunt who I heard married well. Her mother is the youngest, and she was a classmate with her father when they were studying at Aurora University, so they get along well with her.
She is from Linnan. After graduating from university, she was assigned to work here in Linnan. Her mother was Ran also came over. When we were in high school, her mother was the leader of the Electricity Bureau, and her father worked in the Party Committee. Do you understand? Now more than ten years have passed, and her parents have been promoted to work in Shanghai. , and also settled there."
Chen Feng was really shocked when he heard the inside story. He really didn't expect that Zhao Zixuan, a female classmate who was unremarkable in high school, would have such a powerful family background.
"I really didn't expect this." Chen Feng sighed, "If I had known that she had such a family background and was so beautiful, the boys in our class would have chased her long ago."
Guo Mengyao glanced at him: "So, her mother has foresight. In Gao When I was in middle school, I deliberately made her look ugly to avoid being harassed by you guys. Do you regret not chasing her back then?"
Chen Feng shook his head and said, "What do I regret? Originally, her family background was not my cup of tea. I can’t remember her exact appearance. I will definitely not recognize her when I meet her the day after tomorrow.”
“Don’t worry, you won’t recognize her, even if you are asked to join the classmate group, you won’t. Plus, I missed the opportunity to hook up with a wealthy lady like her. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Chen Feng said angrily: "I told you she is not my type, but why don't I join the classmate group now? After all, I have to meet so many classmates the day after tomorrow. They will definitely talk about joining the group.”
Guo Mengyao looked at him speechlessly: "Everyone has been complaining about you in the group for a long time, saying that you deliberately didn't join the group and looked down on everyone. Some people even said it more harshly, saying that you should be miserable, so you are ashamed to see others. "
Chen Feng couldn't help but widen his eyes: "Did you tell them that I didn't join the group on purpose?"
Guo Mengyao quickly clarified: "I didn't say that. , it was Xiaoyue who said it. But I can’t blame her. Qin Zhen, she and I all asked you to join the group, but you didn’t accept it. Of course the other students asked, but she just said, you don’t want to. Join the group. "
When Chen Feng heard what she said, although he felt a little embarrassed, he quickly thought about it. He really didn't want to join the group of classmates before, and there was nothing to be embarrassed about if he dared to act.
"Okay. Then just stick to it and stop joining the group."
He wanted to join the group just now, mainly because he was curious about what Zhao Zixuan and Cheng Yuhan looked like now, and of course some other high school classmates. After all, everyone is curious, and Chen Feng is no exception.
"I think you should add it. Otherwise, when so many classmates meet the day after tomorrow, someone will definitely take this matter to challenge you."
Guo Mengyao actually thought about Chen Feng.
Chen Feng thought for a while and finally shook his head: "Forget it. As you know, I didn't have many close classmates in the class when I was in high school. I can't even remember the names of some of them now. There is no need to keep in touch with them to avoid being harassed by them."
Guo Mengyao looked at him with a complicated look and said, "I don't know if your character is good or bad. It’s really relaxing.”
