Chapter 640: New but Not Forgetting the Old

Although more than three years have passed, there have not been many changes in Nancheng Cultural Center.

To say that there is no change is not the case.

For example, the head of the literature group here has become Ma Boyuan.

After Qin Yewei left, Ma Boyuan took over.

Lao Ma lived up to expectations and wrote several more popular articles.

Of course, this call also has a specific place.

“Brother Ma, when can we have a meal at Donglaishun?” Shi Xuehong said with a hint of resentment as soon as Ma Boyuan arrived at the office.

Now Shi Xuehong has become a mother.

However, her love for eating has not changed at all.

Being able to have a meal at Donglaishun is something she always looks forward to.

Ma Boyuan’s forehead was covered with sweat, and when he heard this, he felt his back getting a little wet.

Eating at Donglaishun costs at least ten yuan.

It’s certainly not possible to rely on salary, only by earning royalties from writing can I be able to indulge myself.

As he gets older, Ma Boyuan feels more and more overwhelmed.

The creative ideas that used to surge like a tide now disappeared completely.

Naturally, he had no way of meeting the expectations of an old subordinate like Shi Xuehong.

After being asked so many times by Shi Xuehong, he couldn’t help but ask: “Xuehong, when can you treat us to a meal at Donglaishun?”

Shi Xuehong didn’t seem to be at all panicked by Ma Boyuan’s question.

She smiled and said, “Team Leader, I know I have no hope, so I placed this dream on you.”

“Let me treat everyone to a meal, so why not just stop thinking about it?”

“You know what I am capable of.”

Hearing these righteous words of giving up, Ma Boyuan was speechless.

He thought to himself, why did Qin Yewei leave such a treasure for me? It would have been great if Cheng Xuyuan had been left behind.

Just as he was sighing in his heart, he heard someone say, “Team Leader, Xuehong, do you know? Cheng Xuyuan is getting married?”

After hearing the news, Shi Xuehong immediately lost interest in talking about eating.

She was surprised and asked, “Old Chen, where did you hear this news from?”

“Cheng Xuyuan hasn’t graduated from university yet. How can he get married?”

Her question immediately gained the belief of most people present.

Because in everyone’s perception, college students usually get married after graduation.

Cheng Xuyuan, a college student, hasn’t even graduated yet, how can he get married?
Old Chen was not at all panicked in the face of everyone’s suspicion.

He said solemnly: “Team Leader, Shi Xuehong, this matter is now widely spread, it is definitely not false.”

“I met Qin Yewei last night, and he also knew about this matter.”

“He also said that many people are now able to receive Cheng Xuyuan’s wedding invitation as an honor.”

“I just don’t know if Cheng Xuyuan will send us an invitation.”

When Shi Xuehong heard Lao Chen use Qin Yewei as evidence, she immediately believed it.

It’s not that she believes Qin Yewei, but Qin Yewei works in a newspaper and is more well-informed.

He has a good relationship with Cheng Xuyuan and would not spread rumors about Cheng Xuyuan in this regard.

Therefore, Shi Xuehong believed that what Qin Yewei said was true.

She said in surprise: “I didn’t expect that Cheng Xuyuan would get married so soon.”

“I thought he would wait until after graduation to get married?” “It seems that this outstanding man is really in high demand!”

Although what Shi Xuehong said was a bit blunt, everyone present believed what she said.

Ma Boyuan said with a hint of emotion: “Given Cheng Xuyuan’s current reputation, I wonder how many people will want to attend his wedding?”

“No wonder someone made a fuss about his wedding invitation.”

Shi Xuehong asked: “Team Leader, do you think he will send us an invitation letter?”

Ma Boyuan looked at Shi Xuehong who was expectant. Although he wanted to give a positive answer, he finally shook his head and said, “It’s unlikely.”

“Why, team leader, do you think Cheng Xuyuan will look down on us old friends, so he doesn’t send us an invitation?” There was a hint of displeasure in Shi Xuehong’s words.

“Xuehong, the reason why I said that it is unlikely that Cheng Xuyuan will send us an invitation letter is because the gap between us and Cheng Xuyuan is really a bit big.”

“People sending us invitations might make us feel uncomfortable.”

“In this situation, many people will choose to forget.”

“You, don’t think about it too much.”

“Think about it, is there anything wrong with your work during this period?”

“Or think about how to write an article that can treat us to a meal at Dong Lai Shun.”

Ma Boyuan’s words made Shi Xuehong feel sad.

Although she didn’t quite believe that Cheng Xuyuan was the kind of person who would forget his old friend, she also had a vague feeling that what Ma Boyuan said was not wrong.

Just when she was about to say something, she heard someone outside say, “Old Ma, come out quickly and see who’s here.”

Hearing this, Ma Boyuan opened the door and walked out, and saw Cheng Xuyuan striding towards him, followed by several colleagues from the cultural center.

They followed behind Cheng Xuyuan, looking like the moon surrounded by stars.

Some people even talked to Cheng Xuyuan with smiles on their faces, as if they were afraid that Cheng Xuyuan didn’t know how enthusiastic they were.

This situation made Ma Boyuan feel a little unhappy.

However, Cheng Xuyuan’s arrival made him happy.

After all, I haven’t seen Cheng Xuyuan for a while.

“Xuyuan, why are you here?” Shi Xuehong said to Cheng Xuyuan with a smile without waiting for Ma Boyuan to speak.

Cheng Xuyuan said with a smile: “Didn’t you say that this is my home and I can come here anytime?”

“Now I want to go home. I need a reason.”

At this point, Cheng Xuyuan said to Ma Boyuan: “Old Ma, you are becoming more and more energetic.”

Ma Boyuan laughed and said, “I’m old, but I can’t compare to when I was young.”

Cheng Xuyuan and Ma Boyuan returned to the office together. Although the people who surrounded them were reluctant to leave, they said hello to Cheng Xuyuan and then left.

Cheng Xuyuan asked about everyone’s situation, but before he could say anything else, Shi Xuehong asked, “Xuyuan, is there something you want to talk to us about?”

“If I say there is something going on, then there is something going on.” Cheng Xuyuan took out a few invitations and said, “Old Ma, Shi Xuehong, I am getting married soon, and now I solemnly invite you all to attend.”

Shi Xuehong looked at the invitation letter handed over by Cheng Xuyuan, and a sense of emotion inexplicably arose in her heart.

I thought Cheng Xuyuan had forgotten about me and others, but I didn’t expect that he would come to deliver the invitation in person.

This made her not know what to say for a moment.

Ma Boyuan said with a hint of emotion: “It’s only been a blink of an eye, Xuyuan, and you’re married.”

“Okay, we will definitely attend this wedding.”

Cheng Xuyuan shook hands with Ma Boyuan firmly, said some other words, and then said goodbye and left.

Looking at Cheng Xuyuan who was leaving, Shi Xuehong said with a hint of provocation: “Who said Cheng Xuyuan would forget us old friends?”

“That’s what it means to have something new but not forget the old!”
