Chapter 432: : The bitterness of old classmates

The meeting place for the classmates was arranged in the lobby on the third floor of the hotel. Xiao Minglang and Fang Bai chatted for a while and asked Fang Bai to go to the lobby on the third floor to wait. He and his girlfriend Zhao Miaomiao were at the entrance of the hotel. Waiting for other students.
There are a total of six dining tables in the hall on the third floor. Each dining table can seat fifteen people. Even if all the classmates in Fangbai's class come over, they can sit down.
When Fang Bai came to the lobby on the third floor, two or thirty classmates had arrived before him, standing or sitting, chatting in twos and threes.
When I was in medical school, I could play with Fang Bai. Except for Xiao Minglang, who was born in the next class, Xiao Minglang and a few others. Most of my classmates didn't even talk to Fang Bai.
Therefore, when Fang Bai walked into the hall, some of his classmates would smile and nod to him, while some would just look at him with disdain, and then turned to chat with other classmates.
Fang Bai didn’t care about it either. This kind of classmates’ reunion is actually the old classmates meeting and chatting, and then having a meal together, and then everyone went away. I don’t know when and when they can get together again. There is no need to care about little things.
"Fang Bai, here!"
After seeing Fang Bai, a tall thin man with glasses sitting at the dining table in the northwest corner of the hall stood up and beckoned vigorously.
"Bamboo pole!"
When Fang Bai saw the thin and tall man, a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and then moved over.
"Bamboo pole" is not the name of the lanky man, but just his nickname because of his thin body.
The real name of "Bamboo Rod" was Hong Dabao. When he was studying in the medical school, he was sitting in the front row of Fang Bai. His academic performance was in a mess, and Fang Bai was a difficult brother.
The same circumstances and similar personalities made Hong Dabao and Fang Bai "cherish each other" and became friends. It can be said that in the entire medical school, apart from Zhou Dabai, Hong Dabao was the best able to talk to Fang Bai.
And because of Fang Bai's relationship, Hong Dabao and Zhou Dabai also became friends.
Hong Dabao's father died of illness two years ago, and he lives with his mother. His family is very ordinary, not much better than Fang Bai's house before Duo She was reborn.
And looking at his current dress, it is much shabby compared to other glamorous classmates. It is obvious that the financial situation of the family has not changed much.
Fang Bai walked to the dining table where Hong Dabao was. The two former classmates who had "cherished each other" looked at me and I looked at you, and looked at each other.
"Fang Bai, it seems that you have been doing pretty well recently! You won't be like other classmates, do you look down on me?"
Hong Dabao said half-jokingly and half-seriously.
He could see that although Fang Bai was not wearing a famous brand worth tens of thousands, it was definitely much more valuable than his own. He thought he had a different chance recently.
"Dabao, am I such a person? No matter how good I am, we are all good classmates and good friends! Come on, let's sit down and talk!"
Fang Bai greeted Hong Dabao to sit down together. Seeing that there were only two of them at this table, he couldn't help but smiled: "It seems that the students are a bit alienated from us, just like when they were studying in medical school!"
"It used to be that we didn't learn well, and deliberately alienated it; now...heh, maybe it's because we didn't mix well, so I'm afraid of getting bad luck!"
Hong Dabao laughed at himself, and said: "It's okay for the two of us, lest some classmates show off during dinner, and look annoying!"
Fang Bai said: "Whoever loves to show off, let's do our own thing!"
Hong Dabao sighed, filled Fang Bai and his own cups with water, then looked out the window in a daze.
"Dabao, you don't seem to be in a good mood! What happened to you?"
Fang Bai glanced at Hong Dabao, saw the gloom between his eyebrows, and asked casually.
"I……"
Hong Dabao hesitated, smiled reluctantly, shook his head and said, "Nothing..."
Fang Bai said sternly: "Forget about privacy matters. If it's other things, you might as well talk about it. The three heads have beaten Zhuge Liang, let's think of a solution together!"
"I did some business recently. I thought I could make a fortune, but I didn't expect to be scammed and lost all the money! Unlucky! Alas..."
Hong Dabao sighed for a long time with a gloomy expression on his face.
After a pause, he said: "You also know that our family's conditions are not very good. The money for my business was saved by my mother. After the business was lost, my mother didn't blame me. , But I can see that she is sad... sad..."
Having said this, Hong Dabao's eye sockets were a little red, and he habitually took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket to signal Fang to smoke one.
Fang Bai waved his hand and said, "I don't smoke. How much did you invest in business?"
"One hundred thousand!"
Hong Dabao lit a cigarette, smoked a few savagely, his voice was deep and choked with the smoke, and said, "My mother has saved so much money after 20 years of hard work. I lost everything overnight... Fang Bai, do you think I'm a waste!"
"you are not!"
Fang Bai shook his head and said, "I understand that your intention is to make some money, improve the conditions at home, and let you and your mother live a good life."
Hong Dabao rubbed his sour nose and smiled bitterly, "Old classmate, you still know me!"
"What business do you do?"
Fang Bai asked casually.
"Hmm, I was cheated this time!"
When Fang Bai mentioned this, Hong Dabao was angry and stopped fighting, and said bitterly: "Last Monday, a close friend of mine approached me and said that he knew the sales manager of the Beauty Company. I got a batch of "Beauty Company" products at the lowest price, and asked me to spend a sum of money, and the two people partnered to buy low and sell high..."
"I thought to myself that the beauty products of the'Beauty Company' are selling very hot now. If you sell it like this, you will definitely make a profit without losing money. When my head got hot, I took 100,000 yuan to that friend... My friend, like me, was scammed and bought a batch of fake goods. Later the goods were seized and confiscated by the relevant authorities, and we were fined a sum of money..."
"Are there fake products from'Beauty Company'?"
Fang Bai frowned and asked.
Hong Dabao nodded and said, "Not only are there, but there are many more! From the outer packaging, it is impossible to tell the truth from the fake!"
Fang Bai couldn't help but smile, knowing that because the "beauty company"'s products were in short supply, all kinds of fake and inferior products came into being. This not only disrupted the market, but also caused a lot of losses to "beauty company".
In fact, the "beauty company" has also used various methods to defend its rights, but those counterfeit and inferior products will fall in a wave, and there will be another wave. Repeated bans will cause headaches.
While the two were talking, many classmates arrived one after another, but Fang Bai and Hong Dabao were still the only two of them at the table.
