What a slap in the face!
(The second update is here. I hope everyone will continue to vote for "The Strongest Counterattack" in Vertical and Horizontal's 2017 Final Inventory.)
Different cultures had different attitudes in different places.
For example, in the northeast, most people felt that money was everything. They felt that money was omnipotent and that nothing could be done without money. Many people became officials to earn money. Even a small divisional level official dared to earn hundreds of millions. Therefore, the atmosphere of bribery in the northeast was very serious. Shandong, which was close to the northeast, was the exact opposite. For thousands of years, it was the hometown of Confucius and Mencius. Even if many people wanted to earn money, their ultimate goal was to become an official. For example, that fake minister, who bought his way from a businessman to become a deputy minister. Needless to say, how many political and military bigwigs had come from Shandong over the years? There was a joke that the greatest reward an elder in Shandong could give to a junior was that the child could become a high-ranking official when he grew up.
Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai had different cultures from Sijiu City. Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai focused on everyone who had money to earn. If there was a road to walk, everyone would walk together. Relationships were mutually beneficial, and everyone took what they needed. In the end, the benefits were maximized.
However, in the circle of the rich and powerful in Sijiu City, it was about background and strength. The threshold was very high, and the barriers were very strict. This was because everyone had a powerful force behind them. They didn't represent themselves, but the families behind them and so on. Their identities were different from ordinary people. Most of them were very wary, because they knew that many people got close to them only for the force behind them.
Hence, those who could play in the same circle were either close since childhood, enough to trust each other, or the relationship between their parents, which was double protection.
Hence, we can also see that there were many messy circles in Sijiu City. Many people were happy to mingle in them, but how many of them could really get into the circle of the rich and powerful?
Hence, although Brother Zhao and Third Sister came here often, they did not easily make friends with others, because they would be hated by others. If one's strength was not at that level, everything would be in vain.
The private room in the bar was simply decorated. The original intention was just for people to chat, or play Werewolf or other board games. It was a private space that would not disturb other customers.
After they went in, Ma Weiyang still did not let go of Qin Sheng. Qin Ran did not know whether to laugh or cry. She said, "Ma Wei, this is my brother, not yours. Can you be more reserved? If you like my brother, it's not too late to divorce him."
Ponytail said carelessly, "Your brother is my brother. How can I not know how you've been living all these years? Besides, I haven't seen little Shengzi for more than 20 years. Of course I have to take a good look at him. If you are willing, Little Shengzi is also willing. I don't mind being his lover. "
"How shameless you are!" Qin Ran scolded with a smile.
Qin Sheng had a helpless look on his face. How could this beauty be so direct and not care about his feelings at all? However, when the other two men saw Qin Sheng's embarrassed look and the bickering between Sister Ran and Ponytail, they laughed happily. However, their focus was naturally on Sister Ran's younger brother, who had suddenly appeared.
Zhang Da did not follow them in. He had to inform his buddies, such as Fan Dezhi, etc. However, he did not know what was going on tonight. No one picked up his calls. Perhaps everyone was busy at the end of the year, such as work or social engagements. Nowadays, social engagements did not allow people to take out their phones, so it was understandable.
Only Fan Dezhi rushed over. At first, Fan Dezhi did not believe it and said that Zhang Da should not joke about such things. Zhang Da explained again and again, but he did not believe it. It was only when Zhang Da said that if he lied to him, he could do whatever he wanted, that Fan Dezhi rushed over.
After the call, Zhang Da returned to the private room and scolded, "That idiot Fan Dezhi did not believe it."
"Why did you call them? I don't want others to know." Qin Ran frowned. She did not expect that Zhang Da would tell others. This was unexpected.
Zhang Da immediately came to his senses and said, "Oh, oh, my bad, my bad. I was too happy. Fortunately, only Fan Dezhi came. The others either did not pick up or did not believe me at all."
Ma Weiyang did not bother to listen to Zhang Da's explanation. She snorted and said, "Can you not be so impulsive? You haven't even figured out what's going on and you're already saying this and that. No wonder you can't make it to the headquarters and can only be a mountain king in Sun Company."
Zhang Da muttered, "I think being a mountain king is good enough."
Ma Weiyang glared at Zhang Da. She couldn't be bothered to bicker with him. When they were together, it was always one of them mocking each other, but their relationship had never been distant.
"Ran Ran, tell us, when did you find Little Shengzi?" Ma Weiyang asked impatiently.
Qin Ran did not know how to explain. After thinking for a while, she said, "Actually, we found him last year. The old man did not tell anyone. Even I only found out this year. I have to say that the old man is really good at keeping secrets."
"Uncle Qin is awesome. More than 20 years have passed and we have all given up hope, but he still persisted in looking for Little Shengzi. Heaven really does not disappoint those who wait. Your Qin family has a successor." Zhang Da was amazed. He did not admire many people, but Uncle Qin was definitely one. If it was not for his family's reluctance, he would have become Uncle Qin's godson long ago.
Ma Weiyang also echoed and sighed, "Uncle Qin is still Uncle Qin."
Qin Ran continued, "Do you still remember when you accompanied me to Shanghai some time ago? Do you know why I caused trouble? It was to help my brother vent his anger. But this is not over yet. Sooner or later, I will settle old and new grudges with him. "
Hearing this, Ma Weiyang immediately stood up and said, "Damn, so that's what happened. That bastard actually dared to bully Little Shengzi. He must have eaten a bear's heart and a leopard's guts. Ran Ran, why didn't you say so earlier? If you had, I would have made him suffer. How could I have let him go so easily? "
Zhang Da narrowed his eyes. He finally understood what had happened last time. No wonder Qin Ran was so angry. He laughed coldly and said, "Oh, so that's what happened. I got it."
Qin Ran was confused, but she could roughly understand what had happened. If she was not mistaken, her sister must have gone to Shanghai to find Yan Chaozong.
"Sister, I will do this myself," Qin Sheng said casually.
Qin Ran chuckled and said, "I know. I just feel sorry for you."
Ma Weiyang said very seriously, "Ran Ran, Little Shengzi is right. He should take revenge himself. Only then will he feel a sense of accomplishment. Little Shengzi, go ahead and take revenge in any way you want. As long as you don't kill or commit arson, no matter what happens, we will take care of it for you. You are not only Ran Ran's biological brother, but also ours. Don't forget, we used to tease you when you were young. "
Zhang Da also said in a neither light nor heavy tone, "Little Shengzi, when are you going to Shanghai? Tell me, we still have many friends there."
At this time, the other two young men also said, "And us, we are all on the side of family."
Qin Sheng finally understood why his sister had brought him here. She was looking for resources for him. When he really went to Shanghai, there would be a lot of resources that he could use.
"Thank you, brothers and sisters," Qin Sheng said sincerely.
At this time, the door of the box was knocked from outside. Zhang Da thought that Fan Dezhi was nearby, so he opened the door excitedly.
After opening the door, he found that it was not Fan Dezhi, but a stranger. Zhang Da was a little unhappy and said, "Who are you looking for?"
Of course, it was Wei Li who came uninvited. He smiled and said, "I'm looking for Qin Sheng."
Hearing that it was Qin Sheng, Zhang Da's attitude changed. He opened the door and let the man in. He said to Qin Sheng, "Little Shengzi, he's looking for you."
Although he had only met Qin Sheng a few times, he considered himself a friend. Wei Li called out in a friendly manner, "Qin Sheng, it's really you. I didn't expect to see you here."
Qin Sheng was such a smart person. When it came to scheming, he was no worse than anyone. It was just that sometimes he did not have enough luck and resources. Moreover, he was not familiar with Wei Li, so he said directly, "Do I know you?"
Wei Li's expression changed instantly and he said awkwardly, "Qin Sheng, what do you mean? We are classmates."
What Qin Sheng meant was that Zhang Da already knew what was going on and more or less understood. He chuckled and said, "Little Shengzi, you don't know him?"
Qin Sheng said indifferently, "I don't know him."
"I'll count to three. Get out of here, or you'll have to bear the consequences," Zhang Da said to Wei Li. The others also glared at Wei Li. They did not like to be disturbed. Besides, there were rules here.
It was a naked slap in the face …
Wei Li looked embarrassed. He did not know how to deal with this situation. He did not expect Qin Sheng to say this, nor did he want to disturb them. He just came over to say hello and recognize a familiar face. He did not know why Qin Sheng said this, but since Qin Sheng had already said this, there was obviously no turning back.
Of course, Wei Li did not want to offend this group of people in front of him. He quickly smiled and said, "I'm sorry, I might have recognized the wrong person. I'm sorry, I'm sorry to disturb you. I'll leave now."
Wei Li said as he walked out. In the end, he even respectfully closed the door of the box.
After closing the door, Wei Li looked disappointed and unhappy. But what could he do even if he was unhappy? He subconsciously thought of taking revenge on Qin Sheng and telling the news that Qin Sheng was in Beijing. But when he thought of Brother Zhao's words just now, he retreated. It was just one failure, and he did not lose anything. He did not believe that he could not knock down this door of Qin Sheng.
When Wei Li returned to their position, Brother Zhao saw Wei Li's dejected look, as if he already knew the result. He laughed and said, "Hit a wall?"
Wei Li was surprised and said, "Brother Zhao, you already knew the result?"
Brother Zhao shook his head and said with a smile, "Wei Li, sometimes you have to put away your cleverness. For this group of people, they will not take you seriously just because you are rich. They are much richer than your family, right? There are many who fall, run, and die. The water in Sijiu City is deep, you will know slowly. "
Wei Li was not angry at all. He smiled bitterly and said, "Thank you for your advice, Brother Zhao."
In the box, Qin Ran could feel that the atmosphere just now was not right. She asked in a low voice, "Qin Sheng, do you know him?"
Qin Sheng did not deny it and said, "Yes, he is a classmate of the advanced course. He is from Hangzhou. He knows what I did in Hangzhou, so I was just testing him."
Qin Ran immediately understood. She did not know whether to laugh or cry. "You, you are the same as the old man."
Qin Sheng smiled bitterly and did not deny it.
