Chapter 1084: Chapter 1085 Future Planning

In the afternoon, Qi Lanqin received a call from a classmate, but it wasn’t Lin Yue whom she saw yesterday; it was Chu Lian.

Chu Lian’s tone was clearly filled with excitement, saying, "Lanqin, Lin Yue called me today and said you’ve come to Minghe. What are you doing here?"

Qi Lanqin was also quite happy, saying, "I’m visiting a friend’s house, Chu Lian. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen you."

"Yes, I’ve finished my classes. Let’s get together tonight. Where are you now, I’ll come pick you up."

"No need, no need. Just tell me where, and I’ll come over myself."

"How can that be? It’s your first time here; don’t get lost. It’s better if I come to find you."

Qi Lanqin was about to agree, but quickly said, "No need, really no need. Just send me the address, and I’ll use GPS to get there directly. I won’t get lost."

"That’s true. Okay, first let’s add each other on WeChat. I’ll send the address to you shortly, and we’ll have a lot of fun today."

After hanging up, Qi Lanqin patted her chest in relief. Luckily, she didn’t agree earlier. If Chu Lian came to pick her up, knowing where she was staying now, it would surely frighten her.

Soon, Chu Lian sent the address, saying they’d gather there in an hour and then go to a nearby karaoke.

Qi Lanqin agreed happily, then remembered what Song Xiaodong had said, and informed him about it via WeChat. Song Xiaodong only replied to have fun without saying much.

When Qi Lanqin headed out, only Dragon Seven drove her in a flashy Lamborghini sports car.

Even though she’s not very familiar with cars, Qi Lanqin knew this sports car was definitely worth a fortune. Seeing on the GPS that she was only a hundred meters from the destination, she quickly asked Dragon Seven to stop the car. She didn’t want her classmates to see her arriving in such a car.

Entering the restaurant and finding the reserved private room, Qi Lanqin saw her classmates.

"Lanqin!" Everyone inside cheered, and a girl jumped up to give Qi Lanqin a warm hug. It was Chu Lian, who had a pretty good relationship with Qi Lanqin back in high school, and often took care of her.

"Chu Lian!" Qi Lanqin also called out happily, tightly embracing Chu Lian.

A guy shouted, "Hey, hey, Chu Lian, Lanqin is everyone’s classmate. Don’t hog her all to yourself."

"Zhao Yong, what do you mean? Do you want to hug Lanqin? Well, you won’t get that chance." Chu Lian looked back and glared at a boy.

The boy named Zhao Yong had a fervent look in his eyes, saying, "I’d love to, but I’m afraid Qi Lanqin won’t give me the chance."

Chu Lian rolled her eyes, saying, "You should forget it. Lanqin is mine today."

There were seven people present today, besides Chu Lian, there were Lin Yue and her boyfriend, another girl named He Fangzhi, and the guys Zhao Yong and Tian Zhifeng.

Four girls and three guys, except for Lin Yue’s boyfriend, the other five were all Qi Lanqin’s high school classmates.

Because of the crowd, Lin Yue didn’t speak as harshly as yesterday. Everyone shared dishes and chatted while eating, and Zhao Yong was apparently trying to please Qi Lanqin, continuously striking up conversations with her.

Lin Yue initiated a topic, saying, "By the way, we’re about to graduate. What are everyone’s plans?" She felt quite proud of this subject and was happy to discuss it.

Chu Lian said enviously, "Lin Yue, we can’t compare with you. You already have a job lined up before graduating, and it’s a government position. Good pay, great benefits, and lots of vacation."

Lin Yue smiled with satisfaction, saying, "It’s thanks to my boyfriend. So, what do you guys want to do?"

Zhao Yong puffed his chest and said, "My dad said that after I graduate, I’ll work at his company, starting from the ground up. In a few years, he might promote me to a Section Chief or something."

Tian Zhifeng also said enviously, "Zhao Yong, your dad’s company is a state-owned enterprise, and your dad is an official, so you’re guaranteed a stable future. It’s a job that everyone envies."

Zhao Yong laughed heartily, saying, "Though it’s not as good as Lin Yue’s government job, state-owned enterprises are stable and have relatively light workloads. Getting promoted later, one can still do quite well."

Chu Lian said, "I can only job hunt myself and strive to become a white-collar worker. Ultimately, it’s still about finding a good man to marry and becoming a full-time wife."

Tian Zhifeng laughed, saying, "I say Chu Lian, why don’t we strive together? I’ll make you a full-time wife in the future."

"Pfft, wait till you earn some money first." Chu Lian glared at Tian Zhifeng. Their relationship was somewhat ambiguous, but with uncertain futures, they hadn’t made things clear.

He Fangzhi, who wasn’t talkative, finally said, "I have no ideas about the future. I’ll think about it after graduation. Lanqin, what about you?"

Everyone looked at Qi Lanqin. Although they frequently kept in touch and knew each other’s plans, they were unfamiliar with Qi Lanqin’s.

Qi Lanqin suddenly didn’t know how to answer. Previously, her ideal was to find a job after graduation, use the knowledge she’d gained in college to become a white-collar worker, or maybe take the civil service exam.

But the changes over the past two days had made her previous ideas unrealistic. Jobs like white-collar positions or civil services clearly couldn’t compete with the identity of a Princess, and Song Xiaodong certainly wouldn’t let her pursue such jobs anymore.

"Lanqin, I remember your ideas used to be the simplest. What’s changed now?" Chu Lian asked puzzledly, looking at Qi Lanqin.

Qi Lanqin gave an awkward smile, saying, "I’m feeling a bit lost now, not sure what to do."

Lin Yue chuckled lightly, saying, "I think you should just find a job that pays well and can support yourself. Don’t aim too high. Without certain connections, don’t even think about government or state-owned positions."

In their eyes, jobs were still best in government, then state-owned enterprises, and finally that less-stable white-collar work.

Since Lin Yue would be a civil servant in the future, she naturally treated everyone with a condescending attitude.

Zhao Yong then said, "Lanqin, why don’t I go back and talk to my dad? If he can bring another person into the company, it shouldn’t be a big problem. What do you think?"
