After my divorce, I started to have good luck

Chapter 1225 642: A Classmate's Classmate

Zhao Zixuan's words left Guo Mengyao and Cheng Yuhuan feeling a bit uneasy; there's no harm without comparison.They are considered beauties too, but they've never encountered the situations Zhao Zixuan just described.

Their suitors are as good as, or even better than, the old class monitor Zhou Binhui.

Perhaps this is the difference that family background and social circles create in life experiences.

Even though Guo Mengyao's family is wealthy, Zhao Zixuan's family background is more impressive, and after graduation, even with her parents' support, she could only start as a small trader, gradually becoming successful through her own efforts and some luck.

Cheng Yuhuan, on the other hand, came from a declining family, attended a mediocre university, and had unfortunate acquaintances, turning her life upside down. Fortunately, she eventually became independent and found her current husband, achieving stability.

Their shortcomings compared to Zhao Zixuan aren't due to their college entrance exam scores. Zhao Zixuan's scores weren't exceptional either; she attended a second-tier university but later successfully entered a top-ranked graduate program at Zhendan University.

But that's obviously not the main point.

Regarding appearance, Guo Mengyao and Cheng Yuhuan are not inferior to her, especially when Cheng Yuhuan was younger, she might have been even more beautiful. Although now there's a touch of worldliness about her, compared to Zhao Zixuan, each has their own merits.

The biggest gap between them and Zhao Zixuan remains the family background. Before university, this wasn't very apparent, but in college and especially after entering society, the disparity naturally became apparent.

Zhao Zixuan could join a venture capital firm not just because she graduated from a prestigious university or because of her looks, but due to the advantages of her family background, with connections from her family helping behind the scenes.

Otherwise, with so many prestigious university graduates every year, was she the only one lucky enough and capable enough to immediately enter a renowned domestic venture capital company?

No one is foolish here; a little thought reveals some of the connections at play.

So, don't believe that everyone is born equal; in reality, inequality is predetermined at birth.

"Where did the class monitor go?"

Amidst Guo Mengyao and Cheng Yuhuan's silence, Chen Feng broke the ice.

Guo Mengyao replied, "He was called by Qin Zhen to help, taking quite a few male classmates with him."

"Help with what?" Chen Feng asked.

Guo Mengyao explained, "They're handling gift boxes for the guests. There are a lot of guests this time, so there are a lot of gift boxes. A lot of manpower was needed to unload them from the car and stack them in a proper place."

Chen Feng laughed, "Seems like I got lucky and avoided it."

Guo Mengyao rolled her eyes, "You're just lazy. With so many people helping, it would be done in no time."

Cheng Yuhuan smiled and said, "He didn't deliberately slack off; he was helping to pick people up in the car earlier. Who did you pick up?"

Chen Feng replied, "First, I went to Liutiao Town to pick up his maternal grand-uncle and aunt, and then went to the train station to pick up his comrades and colleagues."

Cheng Yuhuan asked, "After the banquet, do you have to take them back?"

"I'm not sure, Qin Zhen didn't say. If I have to, I'll just give them a lift; it's no trouble."

Suddenly, Zhao Zixuan interjected, "Chen Feng, you're from Qingpu Town, right?"

Chen Feng nodded, "Yes, why?"

Zhao Zixuan said, "That's perfect. I have a college classmate from Qingpu Town. After the banquet, can I go with you to visit them?"

The three were somewhat surprised by her words.

Guo Mengyao and Cheng Yuhuan exchanged glances, feeling a bit peculiar.

Chen Feng didn't think much, just curiously asked, "Where does your college classmate live in our town?"

"Right in your town, maybe you know her. Her name is Yu Hongfen, we stayed in the same dorm for four years. She now works as an accountant at her family's factory, married with a son."

Hearing the name Yu Hongfen rung a bell for Chen Feng. He indeed knew her; she was a distant relative on his paternal grandmother's side, specifically his grandmother's cousin's granddaughter.

His grandmother passed away early and the families were distant, hence they seldom interacted. But Yu Hongfen's grandfather was still alive and lived locally. Chen Feng's father, Chen Dayong, would call him uncle, so Chen Feng called him grand-uncle.

Yu Hongfen's grandfather was a carpenter. When Chen Feng's family moved into their house, they hired the old man to make furniture. Since both families lived on the same street, they naturally became familiar.

Besides, he and Yu Hongfen were similar in age, attending the same school and grade from elementary to junior high, which left a lasting impression.

However, the main reason is that Yu Hongfen's father was a prominent figure in Qingpu Town, among the first township entrepreneurs. He started the first furniture factory in Qingpu Town, serving locals and selling to other places, doing excellent business.

Her father became one of a few local millionaires and a celebrity in Qingpu Town.

As the only daughter of such a notable figure, Yu Hongfen was well-known in their community.

"I actually know that classmate of yours," Chen Feng remarked with some emotion.

Indeed, the theory of six degrees of separation holds; it seemed at first that there was no connection between him, Zhao Zixuan, and Yu Hongfen, but now the three of them were linked. Not only through a classmate-of-classmate relationship or being from the same town, but also through friends and relatives' networks...

How fascinating!

"You really know Fen? We used to talk about this in college, she mentioned knowing you and having some family connection. I found it quite amazing."

"Yes, we have some family ties. Are you visiting her?"

"Yes, we haven't seen each other in over two years. The last time was at her wedding."

"Okay, after the banquet, I'll take you to her," Chen Feng casually agreed.

Zhao Zixuan smiled, "Thanks a lot."

Guo Mengyao interrupted their conversation, "Alright, it seems they are done moving things. Let's go wait for Qin Zhen to bring the bride over, then we can begin the feast."

Cheng Yuhuan also said, "Let's go, wait to see the bride."

Just as she finished speaking, a burst of lively firecrackers sounded from the neighborhood gate, indicating the bride's arrival.

Everyone moved in that direction to watch.

Soon, six red Audi cars, which had left earlier to escort the bride, arrived amidst the sound and smoke of firecrackers. They slowly drove up to the small high-rise at Qin Zhen's house, surrounded by hundreds of onlookers.

At the entrance of the small high-rise, more firecrackers were ignited, creating another lively scene.

The six bridal cars stopped, and the bride stepped out from the third car, hand in hand with Qin Zhen, making their way upstairs.
