Are you going to the school promotion party for your colleague’s child?

Let me start with a joke I just saw in the group chat. These days there are many graduation parties – for those who were admitted to first-tier universities, second-tier universities, third-tier universities, or vocational colleges – and it’s necessary to bring gifts as a gift. Yesterday, a guy said his kid was about to start school and invited everyone to go drinking. I asked him, “What school does your child attend?” ” My buddy found it hard to bring it up; he hesitated and didn’t say anything. I guessed he might not have done well in the exam, so I didn’t press him further. A few days later, we all went together to celebrate my buddy’s son’s graduation from school. After everyone had given their red envelopes, we sat down for the meal. My buddy stood in the middle of the stage and gave a speech. Suddenly, in a low voice and filled with shame, he confessed to his relatives and friends that his son hadn’t been successful enough and had ended up attending… a driving school. As soon as he said that, everyone looked at each other in shock… a driving school? I’d slap him to death! Is it using our money to get a driver’s license? With the remaining money, I can even buy a car! This is a joke. If it were a real graduation party, would you attend?
If you have a good relationship, you should still go – it’s a matter of reciprocity.
I must go; after all, I have children of my own too. As for the red envelope, it depends on everyone else
That’s how relationships work in China: the first time it’s awkward, the second time it becomes more comfortable, and by the third time they’re basically friends already~~~~ It doesn’t matter if you go or not; just show some support, because you’ll need it yourself in the future
If I’m invited, I have to go; otherwise it would be disrespectful
As long as I’m asked, I still have to go...
As long as they call you, it’s best to go. If you go, he may not remember your kindness, but if you don’t go, he will definitely remember it.
If they have the decency to invite you, you should go. Consider it as spending 200 on a meal. Remember to bring the whole family, old and young.
It’s a matter of social courtesy; one must go.
