Qin Sheng liked to take the train instead of the plane. It was not because of acrophobia or other reasons. It was because he could see the scenery and local customs along the way. Sometimes it was charming. He could also observe the passers-by from all over the country and look for interesting people.
In fact, the most important reason was that he had no money to take the plane.
The journey took 17 hours. Qin Sheng bought a hard sleeper. In the carriage were several students who returned to school after the National Day holiday. They were all students from several northwestern provinces. They chattered about all kinds of good things about the big city of Shanghai. It seemed that several of them said they would not go back after graduation.
This reminded Qin Sheng of when he went to university in Shanghai. He also took the train. He was also full of curiosity and expectation about everything. It was also the first time he went out of the province. He carried his luggage alone and walked like this for four years.
What was Qin Sheng's final conclusion after staying in Shanghai for four years?
That was, the good was better and the bad was worse. Most people survived, not lived.
After waking up, Qin Sheng chatted with those children. The schools they went to were all good. They must be the top students from those places. Only by studying could they have a better future.
Nowadays, many people said that studying was useless. However, in Qin Sheng's eyes, studying was the best way out for most ordinary people. It might not make you rich or get a good job, but it could make you have more and better choices in the future. It could also make you meet a better version of yourself.
No matter the books you read, the roads you walked, the people you met, and the things you experienced, good or bad, they would eventually settle down and blossom.
But most of the time, Qin Sheng did not like noise. He would only sit on the seat in the aisle and enjoy the scenery outside in a hurry.
When he arrived in Shanghai, it was already evening and the sky was slightly dark.
Stepping on this land again, Qin Sheng took a deep breath of the air that was no longer pure. It had been almost three years since he left here. Those people, those things, and those memories came into his mind again.
Qin Sheng really wanted to say, how good it would be if life was only like the first time we met.
"Shanghai, I'm back!" Qin Sheng shouted loudly. The passers-by stared at Qin Sheng as if he was crazy. Qin Sheng did not care about this. He never cared about what others thought of him.
His grandfather had said that Shanghai was his place of prosperity. Qin Sheng wondered if he could make a name for himself here.
From the train station, he took the bus straight to his destination, the Tomson Golf Villa located next to Longdong Avenue in Pudong. He was going to meet an old friend, which could be considered as a promise to him.
Although he had attended university in Shanghai for four years, he had basically never been to this city. If his grandfather had not told him that his blessed land was in Shanghai, he would definitely not return to this city.
Tomson Golf Resort was one of the most expensive mansions in Shanghai. Those who were able to live in Pudong were the best in the city.
Qin Sheng wanted to meet one of them.
He took a taxi to the entrance of Tomson Golf. After the security guard informed him, a bodyguard came out to take him in not long after. Qin Sheng did not say anything along the way.
A few minutes later, they finally arrived at the villa of the old friend. It was a three-story mansion of nearly a thousand square meters. The villa was surrounded by walls and iron railings, and there was a private garden and swimming pool inside.
At this moment, the villa was brightly lit. When Qin Sheng entered, he happened to meet an old man who was slightly bowing and cleaning the flowers and plants. The bodyguard lowered his head slightly and said, "Mr. Wu."
Qin Sheng also lowered his head slightly. The old man only glanced at Qin Sheng and lost interest.
When Qin Sheng was taken into the villa, the bodyguard pointed to a room not far away and said, "Master Han is waiting for you in the study."
Qin Sheng smiled and thanked him, then went straight to the study.
He knocked on the door …
Waiting …
After a while, a middle-aged man's deep voice came from inside. "Come in."
Qin Sheng pushed the door and entered.
The study was filled with smoke, which was so choking that people could not open their eyes. People who did not know what was going on might think that there was a fire.
A slightly fat middle-aged man with gray hair was smoking on the sofa. The ashtray was full of cigarette butts, and there were many on the ground.
"Little Qin, you finally came." After the middle-aged man raised his head and saw Qin Sheng, he was stunned for a moment. He pinched the cigarette butt and quickly stood up, walking to Qin Sheng and laughing.
Qin Sheng laughed and said, "Uncle Han, it should be one year and three months since we parted at Kunlun Mountain, right?"
"You said that you would definitely come to Shanghai in the future and look for me at that time. After such a long time, I thought you were fooling me. I didn't expect that you would really come." The man who Qin Sheng called Uncle Han laughed and said.
Qin Sheng was pulled to sit on the sofa by him. He picked up the teapot and poured tea for them before the man did. He said, "Uncle Han, you said that if a man can't do it, he should not make promises easily. Young people don't understand honesty, but it is more important to a person in the future. What's more, you saved half my life. "
"You!" Uncle Han pointed at Qin Sheng and did not know whether to laugh or cry. "When did you arrive?"
"I just got off the train."
Uncle Han patted Qin Sheng's shoulder and said, "You are still so honest. I've been a bit too busy these days. Let's find some time to welcome you."
Uncle Han's original name was Han Guoping. As for what he did, Qin Sheng had never found out. Anyway, he said that he was a businessman. It was just that when he traveled north and south of the Yangtze River, they met in Kunlun Mountain by chance. They wanted to go to the same place, so they went together. Qin Sheng might be too young and inexperienced. If it were not for Han Guoping, he might have been killed by the avalanche.
"Uncle Han, did something happen to you? If there is anything I can help you with, just tell me. "Qin Sheng and Han Guoping got along well. They were friends despite their age difference. That was why he came to see Han Guoping as soon as he arrived in Shanghai.
Han Guoping sighed and lit another cigarette. He said, "Just a small thing. Everyone's life is full of ups and downs."
But then he said, "Since you asked, Little Qin, I may really need your help with something. Is it convenient for you?"
"Uncle Han, please say it," Qin Sheng said seriously.
Han Guoping passed a cigarette to Qin Sheng and lit it up when Qin Sheng refused. He said, "I offended an enemy recently. He has been targeting me. I'm afraid that he will take it out on my daughter. So I want you to protect her until the storm is over."
Han Guoping seemed to be calm, but Qin Sheng could hear the tension behind his words. He said thoughtfully, "Uncle Han, do you trust me? And does she agree? "
"In this life, I have misjudged a few people, but I think I will not misjudge you. When the storm is over, you can come to me. As for her, you don't have to worry about her. I will tell her that I found her an assistant. "Han Guoping said calmly. He looked very haggard and his eyes were bloodshot.
At this time, someone knocked on the door. It was the housekeeper of the villa. He lowered his head and said, "Uncle Han, the guest is here."
"Invite him to the study and ask Han Bing to come over. I have something to tell her," Han Guoping said calmly.
After the housekeeper left, he said to Qin Sheng, "Little Qin, I still have something to do, so I can't accompany you. You just got off the train, so you must not have eaten dinner. There are ready-made things in the kitchen. Or if you want to eat something, ask them to make it for you. I will look for you when my daughter comes."
Qin Sheng nodded and left with a smile.
In the dining room, the nanny made some dishes and a few steamed buns for him. This was exactly what Qin Sheng wanted. He liked steamed buns instead of rice. Coincidentally, Han Guoping was also from the northwest, so he also liked to eat steamed buns.
Usually, Qin Sheng would eat like a whirlwind, but today he ate slowly. At the same time, he looked at everyone in the villa. Whether it was the bodyguards or the nannies, he would not let anyone go. This was a habit that he had developed since he was able to survive.
If he was lax towards any stranger, he could become a fatal threat.
This meal, Qin Sheng ate for half an hour, until a tall and sexy beauty walked into the villa. Only then did he put down his bowl and chopsticks.
It seemed that this beauty was Uncle Han's daughter, Han Bing. He did not expect her to be such a beautiful woman. It was no wonder that Uncle Han was so worried. Any man in front of her would have their blood boiling, not to mention those outlaws who licked their lives on the edge of a knife.
"It's so late, why is the old man looking for me? It's so annoying," Han Bing mumbled unhappily after she walked into the villa.
She had shoulder-length short hair, a gray tight T-shirt with black shorts, and a pair of cool sandals. She had a Bulgari Serpenti pendant necklace around her neck, a limited edition Saint Valentin red heart wristwatch with amber and diamonds on her wrist, and a Saint Roland bag on her back.
A real super rich beauty …
Not long after this rich beauty went upstairs, the nanny came down and called out to Qin Sheng, "Master wants you to go up."
When Qin Sheng walked into the study, he heard Han Bing shouting, "I don't want any bodyguards, you are interfering with my privacy."
"Don't talk so much nonsense with me, I'm your father, if you don't want an assistant, fine. I will immediately withdraw my investment from your company, freeze all your credit cards, take back your car and house, from now on you will obediently stay at home, "Han Guoping said angrily.
Qin Sheng came in at this time, Han Guoping immediately smiled and said, "Come, come, Qin Sheng, this is my daughter, Han Bing, you two get to know each other."
"Qin Sheng, nice to meet you." Qin Sheng took the initiative to extend his hand, but Han Bing did not have the intention to shake hands with Qin Sheng at all. The situation was a little awkward, but Qin Sheng could understand and retracted his hand resentfully.
Han Bing lives in Huarun Nine Mile Bund. I have a house in the Shimao Riviera Garden opposite. I'll ask the butler to give you the keys later. There's nothing lacking in the house. This way, it'll be convenient for you to pick her up. Go look for the butler, I'll have a few more words with her. "Han Bing was a little embarrassed," She has a bad temper, I've spoiled her since she was young, I'm sorry for letting you see her like this.
Qin Sheng went out to find the butler, and Han Guoping continued to have a heart-to-heart talk with this spoiled daughter …
When Qin Sheng got the key and money from the butler, Han Bing had already come down from the study. When she saw Qin Sheng, she immediately shouted, "Lackey, let's go, send me back."
The butler did not know whether to laugh or cry, but Qin Sheng was not angry. It was too degrading to be calculative with a fair, rich, and beautiful girl who had not completely grown up from her father.
Han Bing's car was a bright red Maserati-Gran Turismo. After she went out, she directly gave the key to Qin Sheng, then sat in the front passenger seat and stared at Qin Sheng with a smile.
Qin Sheng had almost never driven such a luxury car, but he maintained his calm. After pondering for a moment, he started the car and followed closely to the Bund. Han Bing held her breath and glared at Qin Sheng.
Along the way, the two of them had nothing to say.
After arriving at Huarun Nine Mile Bund, Qin Sheng escorted Han Bing into the door. Han Bing said fiercely, "Pick me up tomorrow morning at 9 o 'clock, if you are late by even a second, scram!"
Then, she slammed the door.
Qin Sheng helplessly smiled bitterly and shook his head, then left.
After going downstairs, he did not drive back to Shimao Riviera Garden. Instead, he threw the Maserati by the side of the road, then directly took a taxi to the Bund Huangpu River.
In Qin Sheng's eyes, if a man had a bit of ambition, then he should go to Beijing to walk all over Chang 'an Avenue, come to Shanghai to see both sides of the Bund. At that time, it would be able to arouse the deepest desire in his heart.
Did Qin Sheng have ambition? Yes.
Did he have desire? Yes.
He felt that if a man did not live a wonderful life and could not stand at a certain height, then his life was really wasted.
Everyone had the right to choose their life. Perhaps many people were willing to live an ordinary life.
But Qin Sheng did not want to be ordinary.
On the left was the luxury of the Bund, and on the right was the debauchery of those high-rise buildings in Pudong. Standing by the Huangpu River, Qin Sheng lit a cigarette, took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled the smoke.
