Chapter 2: A Meeting After Five Years

1752 Words
Cheng Shasha! The moment I saw her, I thought I was mistaken, after all, it had been five years since I left high school. In five years, she had adult a lot, dressed more femininely and appeared amorous. When I met her at the door, she was saying something to the receptionist and I was too stunned to go up to her and say hello. Although these five years had changed my material life in many ways, my inferiority complex hadn't changed much. Now I still didn't dare to greet my previous goddess when I saw her. While in a daze, Cheng Shasha suddenly turned her back, her expression somewhat dejected at the time. Before I could slow down, she was already walking towards the doorway. I took a sharp, deep breath as she passed by, but she didn't seem to recognize me and just rushed past me. I turned back and tried to call out and stop her, but I still didn't have the courage to do it. I just watched her back as I watched her walk out the front door of the company, then turned around myself and walked towards the elevator with my head down. Just as I took my first step, there appeared that familiar voice behind me. "Chen Dong!" I had a thud in my heart that she recognized me after all. I was so delighted that I couldn't wait to turn around and look at Cheng Shasha in the doorway. She looked at me with surprise on her face, "Oh my God! It's really you! I thought I was mistaken!" Facing the previous goddess I'm still a little overwhelmed, touching my nose and smiling shyly: "Long time no see!" "Yes, it's been a long time," said Cheng Shasha, eyeing me up and down and asking me curiously, "What are you doing here?" "Me?" After a pause, I said with a smile, "I work here. How about you?" "You work here?" Cheng Shasha's eyes were wide-open in surprise. "Yes." I nodded. "No way! Dongyang Group isn't that easy to get into, are you sure you're working here?" Cheng Shasha said as she walked over to me. I nodded, still smiling, and then Cheng Shasha told me she was here to apply for a job in Dongyang and asked if I could help her. I was never clear as to what the company was hiring for. Anyway, the state has its law and the company has its rule. And besides, I didn't know what position she was applying for. I had to stall and say, "Shasha, I'm sorry! I probably can't help you with that." While hearing me, Cheng Shasha laughed bitterly and said, "Chen Dong, you're not still mad at me for what happened in the beginning, are you?" I waved my hand and said no. Although I was angry at that time, I knew she couldn't stand the public opinion. I was blown up like that, even I couldn't stand it, let alone Cheng Shasha. So over the years I have gradually forgiven her for breaking up with me in the first place, but how I wish I could still recover the relationship. When Cheng Shasha saw me waving my hand and saying no, she then smiled, "We were all still young and didn't understand a lot of things at first, but now that we've grown up, we naturally understand, so you shouldn't take things from the past to heart." I was fairly touched that she could say this to me, so I was ready to take her to the HR department. But before I could say anything, Cheng Shasha smiled again and asked me, "Since you can't help me that's fine, you're probably just working as a security guard at Dongyang, right?" I didn't confirm or deny it, I just smiled at her and said, "I can ask around for you." She laughed, "It's fine, I'd better apply for the job myself! Bye-bye, we'll talk again sometime." I opened my mouth and wanted to call out to her, but I didn't at last, so I just watched her back as she walked out of the company. But at the entrance, Cheng Shasha suddenly stopped and turned to me and shouted: " By the way, I forgot to tell you, this Saturday we are holding a fifth anniversary reunion at the Aolan Hotel, if you have time you can also come." "Is it okay if I ......?" My tone seemed unconfident. Cheng Shasha laughed again, "Chen Dong, how come you still look like this after five years? Don't worry, we're both adults now, we're not going to embarrass you about the past." Then she left. I was thrilled and relieved to see my previous goddess again, and on the other hand, she seemed to be quite nice to me. I breathed a soft sigh of relief as I watched her beautiful back leave and then went upstairs to work. The whole day I was distracted, after all, it was five years. Too much time had passed, too many feelings in my heart, and scenes from five years ago occured to my mind. The first time she broke up with me was a big blow, and I hated her for abandoning me when I was most helpless. But as I matured, I thought that if I were her, I would have broken up with her too, and besides, Cheng Shasha's father was our math teacher, so who could stand that kind of pressure? But after all these years, she hadn't changed much in personality except that she'd gotten prettier, and she was still as good to me as ever. I didn't expect that Cheng Shasha would still be looking for a job, and that she would be applying for one in my company. I could help her. I immediately called my uncle to tell him about it, and my uncle asked if it was someone I knew, and I said it was a former classmate. My uncle then told the HR department, and let her to come back to the office again. I didn't have the contact information of Cheng Shasha and intended to tell her about it at the class reunion. *︹€ Time flied to Saturday, and I had cleaned myself up for today's class reunion, but I didn't have any designer clothes, so I casually wore a plaid shirt and jeans. I didn't drive to the hotel for the sake of the possibility of drinking. When I arrived at the hotel, I saw Cheng Shasha and a group of former high school classmates standing in a pile from a distance. They were laughing and talking and having a good time. I heard many of my classmates complimenting Cheng Shasha on her beauty as usual, so I couldn't help but take a second look at her. Cheng Shasha was indeed pretty enough today, dressed even more glamorously than the last time I saw her. The white skirt with the long, white, chopstick-like legs simply made my blood boil. However, above all I noticed the pendant on her satchel, and when I saw it, I shuddered! I remember that I saved up for a month to buy this pendant for her when I was dating her at school, and she loved it so much that she hung it on her bag to show it off to her classmates. Then she took the pendant off after I broke up with her and I thought she had thrown it away then, but I didn't expect her to still keep it, and it looked so old-fashioned now that she still hung it on her bag. I wanted to go over and ask her about the pendant, but I still couldn't blend in with them, so I stood by myself in silence, smoking a cigarette, intending to ask her again sometime. After about five minutes, a modified BMW 5 series suddenly drove up in a breeze and stopped in front of Cheng Shasha and the group of classmates. When the car door opened, I heard a group of classmates cheering When I turned my head, I immediately recognized him. It was Zhang Tian who used to bully me in high school! At this moment, almost all the classmates were staring at Zhang Tian's modified BMW. And one of them, a big-breasted girl who I remembered her name as Song Ying, cried out like a boy crazy, "Wow! Zhang Tian, is this your car? It's sooo pretty!" Zhang Tian smiled proudly, raised his hand on the door of the car, and said like a poser: "It's been almost a year since I drove it, and I'm going to get a Porsche in the near future." "Wow. Your family's business is getting bigger and bigger now! Don't forget our old classmates when the time comes!" Zhang Tian sprinkled a smile: "Ahem, it's just a word!" They were laughing and walking towards the hotel, when someone finally called out to me, "Chen Dong, what are you waiting for? Go on!" I looked up and was surprised to see that it was Cheng Shasha who was calling me, waving at me. It was only when Cheng Shasha shouted that the other classmates finally noticed me, but they didn't look at me more than once and wiggled their way into the hotel. Zhang Tian also looked at me, but with a despicable laugh: "Yo! Isn't that who's there? What's it called ...... why is he here at our classmates reunion?" Zhang Tian was obviously so full of opinions about my arrival that he didn't even regard me as his classmate anymore. Cheng Shasha said that she had met me when she went to Dongyang company two days ago. She said that I was working as a security guard in Dongyang, and then she called me up by the way. Hearing this, Zhang Tian began to laugh again, saying that I was born to be a security guard. I would never have a chance to turn over a new leaf in my life, and I was destined to be a loser for the rest of my life. That wasn't comfortable for anyone to hear. I didn't want to waste my time on him, but what he said next made me lose control of my emotions. At that time, just after entering the hotel, Zhang Tian turned to me and asked, "By the way, is your mother still working as a hooker in that county?"
