Shangshan Ruoshui …
The city of Shanghai had never been quiet. The pace of life here was very fast. Qin Sheng was trying to adapt to this kind of pace. If he wanted to stand out in this city, apart from talent, he also needed to be 200% hardworking. This was because there were too many elites gathered here. Most of them not only had talent and background, but they also worked even harder than ordinary people. If he did not put in more effort, how could he compete with them?
Today, when he went out, Qin Sheng did not drive again. He was also prepared to move out of Tangcheng Golf Resort, and would not live in Shimao Riviera Garden. This was not in line with his current identity. Perhaps if he asked, Han Bing would not hesitate to give him that luxurious mansion worth tens of millions, but Qin Sheng would not accept it. A man must use his own hands to obtain everything he wanted. In addition to the sense of accomplishment brought by the result, the most important thing was to enjoy the ups and downs of the process.
Yesterday, Jiang Xianbang had also roughly mentioned this man. He used to be the deputy director of a bureau in Shanghai. He had a bright career, but somehow he went into business. Unfortunately, his luck was really bad and he lost all his money. Later, he met Jiang Xianbang by chance. Jiang Xianbang felt that this man was smooth and slick, so he took the initiative to extend an olive branch. Later, after he created Shangshan Ruoshui, he let this man be in charge. These years, it has been doing very well. Jiang Xianbang valued him very much.
Shangshan Ruoshui was on Sinan Road. It used to be a mansion of a famous person. It was a detached villa with a garden covering an area of about four acres. It was much bigger than the house that Jiang Xianbang lived in. Jiang Xianbang rented it for 20 years and built it into a pure Chinese museum-style private clubhouse. The furnishings inside were all exquisite.
There were many private clubhouses in Shanghai, but there were not many top ones like Yongfu Association and Shangshan Ruoshui. Shangshan Ruoshui was very low-key, but the membership threshold was very high. Those who could come here were either rich or noble. As for those stars and nouveau riche, they were naturally rejected. Jiang Xianbang was in charge of the management, but the acceptance of members was decided by a committee composed of six top members. Every member who had been a full year could recommend, but there was only one recommendation every year, unless it was a senior member. All members were treated equally.
As it was still early, Qin Sheng took the bus over. He had a very good grasp of the time. He would not arrive too early, but he could not be late either. Time was a very subtle thing, but it could also read a lot of meanings. The reason why most of the awesome Tiger Men could succeed was because they had an epiphany on things that ordinary people thought were not important, and the results were amazing.
The subway in Shanghai was very prosperous, and it had the most developed lines in the whole of China. However, Qin Sheng still liked to take the bus, especially the bus in the morning, where he could quietly enjoy every scenery of the city.
Walking to the entrance of Shangshan Ruoshui, Qin Sheng was unexpectedly stopped by the security guard, who asked him who he was looking for. Qin Sheng smiled and said that he was looking for the general manager of Shangshan Ruoshui, Xu Lancheng. The security guard immediately smiled and said, "You must be Mr. Qin. Manager Xu has already told you. Please go in, Manager Yuan is waiting for you."
This was a tree-lined path. Shangshan Ruoshui was surrounded by a wall of green bricks and gray tiles. It was impossible to see what was going on inside from the outside. The door was often closed, and would only be opened when there were guests.
After entering the door, a path paved with green stones led to the four-story building in the middle. This path was only a dozen meters long, but there were six pairs of tall and mighty stone carvings on both sides. It was said that they were collected from various imperial mausoleums. It was indeed Jiang Xianbang's style.
At the front of the path was a rockery with a small bridge and flowing water. In the middle was a huge stone, on which the four words "Shangshan Ruoshui" were written in big black characters. The characters were written in a cursive script that was difficult to recognize. Qin Sheng did not know which master wrote it. Fortunately, Qin Sheng had some skills.
Qin Sheng was not in a hurry to go in, but quietly observed the surrounding environment. This building was surrounded by greenery, flowers, and trees. Most of them were towering trees, and there were a few parking spaces.
After walking two rounds outside, Qin Sheng did not meet a single person. Maybe it was because it was morning. It was only eight o 'clock, and the employees had not yet gone to work.
After a while, Qin Sheng slowly walked into this small building. The expected design style was similar to that of Jiang Xianbang's single-family villa, but more exquisite and delicate. There were small Feng Shui patterns everywhere, and many collections and ornaments were covered with glass.
"You must be Brother Qin." Just as Qin Sheng was looking at a blue and white porcelain, a man in a suit and leather shoes ran over and greeted him politely.
Qin Sheng replied with a smile, "I am Qin Sheng."
"Hello, Brother Qin. My name is Yuan Hua, the deputy security manager of Shangshan Ruoshui. Manager Xu has already told me to show you around Shangshan Ruoshui if you come. He has something to do today, and will only be here around 10 o 'clock," Yuan Hua, who retired from the special forces, said in a low voice.
Qin Sheng frowned slightly and said, "Around 10 o 'clock?"
Yuan Hua said with some embarrassment, "He has to go to the airport to pick up an important guest. There is a small salon in the club in the afternoon, and the guest is rushing over from Hong Kong."
After Yuan Hua finished explaining, Qin Sheng finally understood. He smiled and said, "Oh, I see. Sorry to trouble you."
"Not at all. This way please." Yuan Hua bowed slightly and stretched out his hand.
Qin Sheng then looked at Yuan Hua, who was in front of him. His palms were very thick, and there were many calluses on the back of his hands. Looking at the sharp edges of his face and the murderous look in his eyes, Qin Sheng could tell that Yuan Hua was a martial artist. No wonder he was the deputy security manager. Shangshan Ruoshui was not an ordinary place. Not to mention the uniqueness of this place and the respect of the guests, just the antiques and toys here were enough to make anyone take a risk.
Therefore, in the following time, Yuan Hua brought Qin Sheng around Shangshan Ruoshui in a hurry. Only then did Qin Sheng realize that there were two basement levels in this building. The basement level was the office and kitchen, and the basement level was the warehouse and the security area. The answer to what was in the security area was self-evident.
The first floor was the reception area and the so-called exhibition area. The three floors above were all private rooms of different sizes. The top floor was the place where only the six VIP members could enter and exit.
After an hour, Qin Sheng had visited all the places in Shangshan Ruoshui. Yuan Hua arranged for Qin Sheng to rest in a private room and prepared some tea and fruit platters. He told Qin Sheng that he could walk around freely and that he would inform Qin Sheng when Manager Xu arrived.
This private room was purely Chinese style. All the furniture was made of rosewood. There was a guzheng by the window, which looked expensive. The few antiques in the private room must have some stories.
Qin Sheng sat there and looked out of the window. He did not say a word and seemed to be thinking about something.
What was Qin Sheng thinking about?
He was thinking about Jiang Xianbang.
To be honest, Qin Sheng did not know much about Jiang Xianbang's real family background. After all, he did not have much contact with Jiang Xianbang in the past. He only knew that Jiang Xianbang was well-informed. This time, when he returned to Shanghai, he was involved in the turmoil of the Han family. Initially, he only wanted to get some information from Jiang Xianbang. Later, when Jiang Xianbang took the initiative to help solve the problem with Third Master Wu, Qin Sheng began to realize that Jiang Xianbang was not simple. After all, Third Master Wu was someone that even Han Guoping was afraid of, but Jiang Xianbang was like an old friend to him.
Yesterday, he went to Jiang Xianbang's garden house and today, he came to Shangshan Ruoshui. Initially, he thought that Shangshan Ruoshui was just an ordinary private club. However, after today's visit, Qin Sheng's impression of Jiang Xianbang had changed.
Perhaps it was because of the relationship between him and Jiang Xianbang was not that of an elder and a junior, but more like that of a brother. He always felt that Jiang Xianbang was not a proper person and was always joking around. However, he knew that Jiang Xianbang was really not simple to be able to get to where he was today.
Qin Sheng did not know how long he had stayed in this Chinese-style private room. When he came back to his senses, it was already 9.30 pm, but Manager Xu had not arrived yet.
Qin Sheng walked out of the private room and casually admired the paintings and antiques in Shangshan Ruoshui. This time, he met quite a number of employees of Shangshan Ruoshui. Unsurprisingly, most of them were women, and they were all beauties. When those beauties saw Qin Sheng, they politely nodded and smiled. Their smiles were more standard than the air stewardesses'.
Qin Sheng muttered in his heart, "Damn it, the social resources are seriously biased."
After admiring the beauties for a while, Qin Sheng felt that it was really boring, so he ran out to take a breath of fresh air. Who knew that he would meet a beauty in a grey cheongsam who was parking her car. Unfortunately, she could not park her car in. Coincidentally, it was a blind spot, and there were two cars beside it. She could not get out even if she wanted to and could not park her car in even if she wanted to.
The car was a good car, a Land Rover Range Rover, but the technology was really not that good.
Qin Sheng was not in a hurry to go over to help, he just took it as killing time to watch the fun. After all, he was currently not a member of Shangshan Ruoshui. Unfortunately, the beauty was even more unlucky that there was not a single person nearby, only Qin Sheng.
After a while, she really had no choice, directly rolled down the window and shouted to Qin Sheng, "Hey, you, what are you looking at, come over and help."
"Me?" Qin Sheng pointed to himself and asked confusedly.
The beauty in the cheongsam said unhappily, "Other than you, is there anyone else here?"
Qin Sheng shrugged helplessly and could only run over. After all, she was also a beauty, why not help a beauty?
When Qin Sheng came over, the beauty directly got out of the car and said to Qin Sheng, "You come to park."
So be it. Parking a car was just a piece of cake for him.
After getting in the car, Qin Sheng turned the steering wheel a few times calmly, a little bit of space, and finally parked the car.
The beauty did not look at Qin Sheng in a new light, and was a little embarrassed into anger. After all, Qin Sheng stood there for a long time.
The beauty stared at Qin Sheng and said, "Are you a staff of Shangshan Ruoshui?"
"Yes and no." Qin Sheng's answer was ambiguous.
The beauty in the cheongsam was very dissatisfied with this answer. She frowned and said, "Yes or no?"
"Yes." Qin Sheng thought for a while. After all, he was also going to join Shangshan Ruoshui, so he could only answer like this.
The beauty in the cheongsam did not say anything else, directly threw the car key to Qin Sheng and said, "Go to the Affiliated High School of Fudan University to pick up a student for me. He knows the car plate."
After that, before Qin Sheng could understand, the beauty in the cheongsam directly took her bag and left. She just left.
