My name is Ming Li and I was one of the organizers of our high school reunion this year. The meeting took place in a newly opened restaurant in the city center, and a large box was booked, enough to accommodate more than 30 of our classmates. This is our reunion 20 years after graduation, and everyone is excited about the party.
I and some of the organizers arrived early, set up the boxes, and got ready to welcome everyone. The box was filled with tables and chairs, with a long table in the center so that everyone could meet face-to-face. The dining table is covered with a crisp white tablecloth, and decorative vases and cutlery are neatly arranged. Everything is ready, and we are waiting for the arrival of our students.
As time passed, students came to the box one after another. Everyone introduced each other while greeting each other. Seeing my friends who I haven't seen for a long time, I feel a kind of cordiality and warmth that I haven't seen for a long time. The atmosphere in the box gradually became warmer, and everyone chatted happily.
However, the arrival of one classmate has caused some subtle changes in the atmosphere. His name is Zhang Wei, and he is now a deputy director-level cadre in a state-owned enterprise. He was dressed in a crisp suit and walked into the box with a confident smile on his face. His presence made everyone look at him involuntarily.
"Zhang Wei!" Wang Fang shouted in surprise, "It's really rare that you are so busy and can still come to the party!" "
Zhang Wei smiled and nodded: "Why don't you come?" This is a rare opportunity for all of us to come together, and I can't miss it. "
Everyone welcomed him, and he also shook hands and greeted everyone one by one. However, I noticed that there was an expectation in his eyes, as if he was looking for some kind of special place. I know he is now in a higher position than most of us, but that shouldn't affect our party.
At this time, Li Hong walked up to me and whispered, "Obviously, is Zhang Wei looking for that lord?" "
I shrugged, "Perhaps, but we don't have a special throne, and this gathering emphasizes equality and friendship." "
However, as more students arrived, the seats in the box gradually became full. Since we didn't have a special seat in advance, everyone chose their seats at will. Just as everyone found their seats and sat down, Zhang Wei hesitated. He looked at the few empty seats on the long table in the center, and the smile on his face faded.
He walked up to me and asked softly, "Li Ming, why didn't you arrange the main seat?" "
I explained: "We are here to emphasize equality, there is no main seat, everyone sits at will. "
Zhang Wei's face changed slightly, but he didn't say anything more, just found a place to sit down. Despite his apparent politeness, I could feel the displeasure in his heart. He seemed a little upset that he did not sit at the head of the long table in the center.
Everyone continued to chat enthusiastically, and they didn't seem to notice Zhang Wei's emotions. However, I was a little worried that this subtle change might affect the rest of the party. After all, everyone is looking forward to a pleasant party and doesn't want to be unhappy for any reason.
Although Zhang Wei did not sit on the main seat, the whole party still went on very happily. Everyone talked about their past school days, their respective developments, and even shared some interesting family stories. Laughter echoed in the box, and the atmosphere became more and more enthusiastic.
During a short break, everyone began to talk about their thoughts and feelings about their current job. Zhang Wei is clearly one of the most high-profile of them all. He confidently talks about his experience working in a state-owned enterprise and the challenges he faced. His impassioned remarks attracted the admiration of many students.
Wang Fang heard Zhang Wei's conversation and couldn't help asking: "Zhang Wei, you must have encountered a lot of problems if you are doing so well in a state-owned enterprise, right?" "
Zhang Wei smiled slightly, nodded and said, "Yes, there are indeed many challenges in the work, but as long as you solve them with your heart, everything can be overcome." "
Zhang Wei's answer resonated with the other students present, and everyone shared their insights in their work. Li Hong quipped: "It seems that everyone has high expectations for their careers!" "
Wang Hao heard the words and answered: "Of course! Everyone is working hard in their respective fields! "
In the process of discussion, everyone gradually learned about Zhang Wei's achievements in his work, which made him get a lot of recognition. But at the same time, I also noticed that he seemed to feel a little superior to his identity. This feeling reminded me of his previous expectations for the throne.
Zhang Wei continued to talk about his work experience and emphasized his leadership position in the unit. He talks about how to manage a team, how to make decisions, and what has been achieved within the industry. Although his words were full of confidence, I could feel the meaning of his words, as if he wanted more recognition.
Li Hong gently tugged at my sleeve on the side and whispered, "Don't you think Zhang Wei is a little too flaunting himself?" "
I nodded, feeling the same way. After all, the party was about renewing friendships and sharing each other's lives, but Zhang Wei seems to have put some too much emphasis on his accomplishments.
However, in order not to make the atmosphere of the party awkward, I tried to steer the conversation back to areas of common interest. I said to Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, you are doing so well in a state-owned enterprise, it seems that you are very busy at work." Do you usually have time to hang out with your family? "
Zhang Wei was stunned for a moment, and then replied: "I am usually busy, but I try to find time to spend with my family." I have two kids and take them out on weekends. However, due to work reasons, it is not always possible to have time every week. "
Wang Fang took over the conversation: "Family time is really important. I'm now trying to find a balance between work and family so that I don't get tired. "
As the conversation shifted, everyone began to talk about their respective family lives. The atmosphere was once again congenial and relaxed. Everyone shared the time they spent with their families, talking about their children's growth and interesting things in the family.
However, I still noticed that Zhang Wei was a little unhappy with his place in the party. While he behaved appropriately when discussing work and family, I could sense his disappointment that he wasn't sitting in the center. He sometimes casually looked at the center of the long table, and the empty seats seemed to confuse him.
The party went on and everyone began to taste the food prepared by the restaurant. The laughter in the box came and went, and the conversation gradually shifted to the past campus time and memories of each other. Although Zhang Wei behaved a little differently at the party, the whole party was still full of friendship and warmth.
As we shared our stories and feelings, I tried to get Zhang Wei more involved in general topics. I hope he can let go of his obsession with the throne and enjoy this rare moment. In any case, I hope this gathering will bring pleasant and good memories to everyone.
As the meeting progressed, everyone began to slowly adjust to each other's current situation. The atmosphere in the box was still lively, and the conversation gradually shifted to more interesting topics. After Zhang Wei shared his work experience, everyone began to talk about the current situation of the family.
Wang Fang proposed: "Since we are all here, why don't we all come and talk about our families." That way we get to know each other better, too. "
Wang Hao spoke first, he talked about his wife's achievements in the field of education, his son's performance in school, and also shared some interesting stories about family trips. Everyone listened with relish and nodded their heads in agreement from time to time.
Then, Li Hong also began to share her family life. She smiled and said: "My husband and I are now running a small company together, although it is not big, but life is quite comfortable." We often go out to the park together and do some family activities on the weekends. "
Everyone expressed their envy. Immediately afterward, everyone took turns to share the situation of their respective families. Some talked about the tacit understanding between husband and wife, and some shared the experience of traveling with children. The whole box is filled with a warm atmosphere.
After sharing their stories, I noticed that Zhang Wei seemed a little silent. He didn't seem to want to talk too much about his family, but in anticipation, he said, "My wife works in a private company and my children are still in school. I try to spend as much time as possible with them on weekends, but the work pressure is so stressful that sometimes I inevitably neglect my family. "
Wang Hao responded with a smile: "Everyone has the same problem! The key is to find the right balance. "
Zhang Wei nodded, but didn't seem to continue into the topic. He quickly shifted the conversation to his work, talking about his decisions in the company and his plans for the future.
At this time, Li Hong tried to get Zhang Wei to participate more deeply in everyone's family topics. "Zhang Wei, what do your children like to do? Are there any special events coming up late? She asked with a smile.
Zhang Wei glanced at Li Hong and seemed reluctant to talk about family details. He replied simply: "The children are all good, there are no special activities recently." "
Everyone obviously felt that Zhang Wei was a little evasive on this topic. I tried to reconcile the atmosphere and joked: "It seems that Zhang Wei is still quite a serious father at home!" "
Kind laughter sounded in the box, and everyone expressed their understanding of Zhang Wei. But I also noticed that he seemed a little uncomfortable and may still be suspicious of his place in the party.
However, everyone maintained a friendly attitude and did not pursue the topic too much. Next, the party continued, and everyone talked about their prospects for the future and their expectations for life. Everyone shared their plans for the future, whether it's work or family, and they all have their own goals.
Wang Fang mentioned that she plans to open her own small shop in the next few years, and she is full of anticipation for this dream. Everyone expressed their support and put forward some suggestions.
Li Hong also talked about her career plans, and she hopes to expand her company in the next few years. This resonated with the students present, and everyone agreed.
In the process of discussing future plans, I noticed that Zhang Wei gradually relaxed. He began to appreciate everyone's plan and offered some ideas of his own. He talked about some of his experience in business management, which benefited the students present.
As time passed, the party gradually came to an end. Everyone started planning for the next gathering, hoping for more opportunities to meet in the future. Zhang Wei showed some changes in the party, he began to participate more in ordinary topics, and gradually let go of his obsession with the main position.
Although there were some minor discords at the meeting, in the end everyone ended the meeting with a positive attitude. I believe that our camaraderie will grow deeper over time through these experiences.
As the party drew to a close, everyone began to drink tea and chat, and talked about various topics in a relaxed manner. Topics range from work to family to dreams for the future. The atmosphere in the box was still very harmonious, and everyone was immersed in a rare gathering.
Wang Fang proposed: "Since we are so happy today, why don't we play a little game?" "
Everyone agreed. Wang Fang smiled and said, "Okay, then let's play 'Who is undercover'!" The proposal was immediately cheered for by everyone.
After the game starts, everyone is immersed in it, guessing each other's identities, and laughter is heard from time to time. Zhang Wei seems a little reserved at first, but soon joins the game as well. As the game progressed, he gradually relaxed and showed a rare smile.
The game went well and everyone had a great time. The atmosphere in the box was lively, with laughter and cheers intertwined. After the game, Wang Fang said with a smile: "Okay, the game is over, everyone can continue to chat." "
Zhang Wei said with a smile: "This game is quite interesting, we can play it again at the next party." "
Everyone agreed. Then, the conversation turned back to future plans and goals. Wang Hao mentioned that he has recently been trying to learn a new skill, hoping to make a breakthrough in his future work.
Li Hong also shared her plans for the future, and she hopes to improve her career by working hard. There was a lively discussion on this topic, sharing experiences and suggestions with each other.
During the discussion, Zhang Wei also began to share his views on the future. He talked about his experience and problems encountered in business management, and put forward some unique insights. Although he appeared a little confident at times, everyone agreed with him and had an active discussion with him.
Wang Fang mentioned her expectations for the future and hopes to find a balance between career and family. She told everyone, "I think no matter how busy you are at work, family is the most important thing. We need to learn to cherish the time we spend with our families. "
Li Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes, family is our safe haven, no matter how complicated the outside world is, we can always find a sense of peace of mind when we return home." "
At this time, Zhang Wei seemed to be lost in thought. He spoke slowly, "Actually, I've been thinking about this recently. Work is important, but family is also important. I'll try to find a balance between the two. "
His words appeared sincere, and everyone agreed with him. Some of the disharmony that might have existed in the meeting gradually dissipated, and everyone began to pay more attention to each other's lives and feelings.
As time went on, the party drew to a close. Everyone began to say goodbye to each other, saying that the next meeting would be arranged earlier. Wang Fang said to Zhang Wei: "Zhang Wei, remember to come early for the next party, we will continue to play games!" "
Zhang Wei replied with a smile: "Definitely!" I'll be there early. "
Before everyone left the box, Wang Hao and Li Hong cleaned up the venue together. The three of us packed our things while discussing how we felt about the party. Wang Hao said: "This party is really good, everyone is very happy. "
Li Hong also agreed: "Yes, although there were some hiccups at the beginning, everyone got along in the end. "
I smiled and nodded, "yes, it's great to get us back together at a party like this." "
After the party, everyone said goodbye one after another, leaving a good memory. Although there were some twists and turns, everyone finally got through this rare night with a friendly attitude. I believe that our friendship will be deeper in the future, and I look forward to the next meeting.
After the party, I walked out of the restaurant with a few friends. The night on the streets is quiet and starlit, giving a relaxed and pleasant feeling. We talked about tonight's gathering as we walked, sharing each other's feelings.
Wang Fang sighed softly and said, "I really had a great time tonight!" There were a few hiccups, but everyone worked hard to keep the atmosphere pleasant. "
Li Hong nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, after all, everyone is an old classmate, and there will be some small friction, but in the end, we can find a balance." "
I agreed: "Everyone is smart and knows how to avoid embarrassment and make the meeting go smoothly." "
Wang Hao suddenly remembered something and asked, "Obviously, do you think Zhang Wei is a little relaxed at the end of tonight?" "
I thought about it for a moment and nodded, "yes, at first he may have been a little unhappy with his place in the party, but then he seems to have put aside a lot of concerns and started to participate in the conversation more naturally. "
Wang Fang continued: "Yes, I also noticed that he began to integrate into our conversation and shared a lot of interesting ideas. "
Li Hong added with a smile: "He's actually an interesting person, but he's starting to be a little restrained. "
We continued to talk about Zhang Wei, and felt that although he was obsessed with the issue of the main position at the beginning of the meeting, he gradually let go of his dissatisfaction and became more involved in ordinary topics, which made the whole meeting more harmonious.
When we got to the corner, we were ready to go home. Wang Fang said: "Okay, tonight is really a rare party. Hopefully we can meet again soon. "
Wang Hao responded with a smile: "That's right, the next party should be planned early, and everyone can play a little longer." "
Li Hong nodded in agreement: "Yes, next time I will play 'Who is undercover', that game is really fun!" "
We said goodbye to each other and reluctantly left. On the way home, my heart was filled with gratitude and warmth for this gathering. Although Zhang Wei's behavior made the atmosphere a little delicate at first, in the end, everyone spent the night with a friendly attitude.
I believe that this gathering not only reconnected us, but also allowed us to better understand each other's lives and feelings. Whether it's achievements at work or in the family, our friendships are deeper.
I look forward to the next gathering and hope to continue to share more life experiences and happy times with you. In the days to come, I will cherish this friendship and try to maintain it as much as possible. After all, the time I spend with my friends is priceless and one of the most precious treasures in my life.
All in all, this gathering made me feel the power of friendship and made me look forward to future reunions. I believe that our friendship will grow stronger over time. The next time we meet, no matter when and where, I will look forward to that day with all my heart.
