68 Gathering Part 1 (2/2)
He tried his best to not show his eagerness, calmly saying, ”I’ll listen to your arrangement.”
_That’s good, at least he isn't too hot_ _-_ _headed._ Ouyang Shuo nodded his head and said, ”Please, this is just the first thought, just keep it in your heart. In this period of time, give chances to Sun Yannong, your vice secretary. If I send you there, he has to take over for you.”
Listening to the meaning in those words, he understood that sending him to build his secondary village wasn’t too far away. It seems like in this period of time he had to teach Sun Yannong, that little kid so that he wouldn’t drop the chain.
The fourth day of the new year.
After having breakfast, Ouyang Shuo changed into casual wear and shaved cleanly, fixing his nails. He looked a lot sharper and fresh.
Bing'er pouted and sat in the living room looking miffed. That little brat was sad that her brother wouldn’t bring her to the gathering. Xue'er sat on her owner's shoulder and ruffled her hair, flying around, not caring about her feelings.
Ouyang Shuo came out from the shower and saw her pouting. He shook his head and sat beside her, lifting her onto his leg. ”Baby, brother is going to a student gathering, it isn’t convenient to bring you there. They are all big people and there are no small children to play with you. It will be so boring. Brother promises you that I will be back early to spend time with you.”
Only then did the little brat unwillingly nod her head. ”Pinky swear. Brother must come back early.”
”Ok, pinky swear.” Ouyang Shuo patted her head and walked out of his home.
Seeing Ouyang Shuo leave, Bing'er shifted Xue'er onto her palm and said, ”Xue'er, now only you are here to accompany me.”
Xue'er smiled and said, ”Swing… Swing...”
When Ouyang Shuo rushed to Huifang garden and saw the sign: ”State of Jiao First High School 2180 Student Gathering” at the hotel, it seemed like the class monitor had made a big preparation.
Ouyang Shuo walked into the hotel and went to the reception. There, the signing in was undertaken by the hotel staff, and they had even prepared a gift for every person.
Opening it, it was a t-shirt and a new model Apple smartwatch. This Yuan Ping was rich, for a total of 35 people, it cost more than 200,000 to buy all of that.
Ouyang Shuo placed it on his left hand and wore the t-shirt, and under the guidance of the hotel staff, walked into the hall where everyone was gathering.
Walking in, most of the students had already arrived. Yuan Ping stood at the door to welcome them. Seeing Ouyang Shuo, he rushed up and grabbed onto his hand. ”Ouyang Shuo! So many years and you are still so handsome. I am jealous.”
Ouyang Shuo smiled, ”Compared to your wealth, I am nothing.” He shook his left hand and said, ”Thanks for this.”
Yuan Ping's eyes gleamed, the confidence and magnanimity that Ouyang Shuo had displayed shocked him. Such gatherings, especially when everyone entered the world, was not so pure and full of warmth.
Taking this gift, there were some people who felt bad and didn’t want people to see them with the gift. Others would keep it and say words of jealousy.
Until this date, only Ouyang Shuo wore it confidently and even thanked him for it. Yuan Ping could feel that Ouyang Shuo was honest and not mocking or faking it. This showed that he was confident enough to openly accept all of the gifts.
Yuanping, who was amazed, laughed and said, ”Let’s go meet our old classmates. There are surely many people who you won’t recognize.”
Ouyang Shuo laughed and followed him into the hall. He wasn’t surprised that Yuan Ping was shocked by his changes. After being reborn and the 2 months as a lord, his aura has lost that pure and naive nature. and had more of a leader's authority.
