Then someone poured a drink, and Gu Mian saw a slender woman with heavy makeup laughing, "Our goddess Gu is truly a goddess; after all these years, she’s as stunning as ever. No wonder all the boys go crazy when they see her."
"No, no." Gu Mian quickly replied modestly, "I won’t drink. You all have fun. I have an important guest over there."
"Now that our goddess Gu is the President’s secretary, it’s no surprise she looks down on us, not even willing to share a drink," a woman in the crowd remarked somewhat sarcastically.
"Don’t say that; our goddess Gu is just too busy." A male classmate immediately defended Gu Mian, then handed a glass of wine to her, "Goddess, would you honor us with a drink?"
"I don’t drink." Gu Mian refused, her expression turning from initial amusement to indifference, sensing little goodwill from these people.
"Don’t be like that, it’s just one drink," the male classmate urged.
"I really don’t drink." Gu Mian remained firm in her refusal.
The male classmate seemed a bit embarrassed, but facing Gu Mian, he had nothing to say.
"If Gu Mian doesn’t drink, let’s not force her," a woman stood up and suggested, "Let’s just chat for a while."
That remark left Gu Mian unsure of what to say.
She could only sit in her chair, thinking of exchanging a few pleasantries before leaving.
Wan Chenyu asked the waiter to add a set of dishes and utensils, and Gu Mian said nothing.
"By the way, Gu Mian, do you remember him?" The slender woman with heavy makeup pointed to a short and chubby man.
Gu Mian followed her gesture, looking at the dark-skinned, chubby man with thinning hair, unable to recall who he was.
Gu Mian shook her head, offering a polite smile, "Sorry, it’s been so long, and I don’t recognize him."
"That’s Zhang Li!" someone chimed in.
Zhang Li?
