CHAPTER 486 OF HISTORY
Playing the Tiger's Skin
Qin Sheng majored in philosophy and had a deep understanding of Chinese and Western cultures, especially Chinese Classics and History. Moreover, he minored in economics and finance in college. Recently, he had attended a top advanced course in Tsinghua University. Therefore, Qin Sheng had a lot of topics to talk about. He could really talk about anything.
This was also the most important reason why Lin Su liked Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng could talk about many topics with Lin Su, such as economics, history, astronomy, geography, technology, and so on. Qin Sheng, who had a lot of knowledge, could really talk about anything.
Therefore, Qin Sheng and Boss Fan only had a few cups of tea, and they already regretted not meeting each other earlier. Fan Wei's evaluation of Qin Sheng was getting higher and higher. No wonder Chang Baji chose to follow this young man. Qin Sheng's evaluation of Boss Fan was also not low. This very elegant middle-aged man lived a very casual life. He did not have the hostility and the taste of a nouveau riche that Qin Sheng had imagined. On the contrary, he was more like a knowledgeable university professor.
Qin Sheng heard that there was a book collection room here, in which there were many unique books, which Boss Fan had spent a lot of money to collect. After hearing this, Qin Sheng, who liked to read and buy books, could not sit still. He immediately stood up and followed Boss Fan to the book collection room, which surprised Boss Fan. This was the first time he had met such a direct customer.
In the library, Qin Sheng was like Granny Liu entering the Grand View Garden. The room, which was more than a hundred square meters, was filled with all kinds of books, classified in detail. Qin Sheng could not wait to walk in. He had no time to care about Boss Fan and the others, and he even forgot the purpose of coming here today.
This was also the first time Qin Sheng saw a friend collect so many books. When he first heard about the book collection room, he thought it was just a few bookshelves with some best-selling books that could be bought on the market. After all, most successful people nowadays wanted to decorate themselves to be especially cultured. In their study, they had to have a luxurious or simple bookshelf with all kinds of books on it. However, they did not even flip through a few pages of those books.
However, Boss Fan was definitely not this type. From his conversation with Boss Fan just now, Qin Sheng knew that Boss Fan was definitely a person who loved books. People who did not like to read would definitely not collect books, and people who did not like to read would definitely not have such a profound and tasteful personality.
Reading was the fastest shortcut for a person to make progress. Think about it, you could buy someone else's lifetime experience with just a few dozen yuan or a few dozen yuan. Was there such a cheap deal in the world? Many people tried their best to succeed, but they were not willing to pick up a book. Therefore, the world never mistreated anyone. You could only blame yourself.
Half an hour passed quickly. Qin Sheng was still reading those unique books in the library. Yuan Ya walked over and said in a low voice, "Boss, dinner is ready. What do you think?"
Boss Fan waved his hand and said, "Wait a little longer. Let him continue to watch. Let's go out for tea. Don't disturb him."
They left the library and continued to drink tea and chat in the living room outside. Without Qin Sheng's presence, Yuan Ya behaved more casually. After all, she and Chang Baji were old acquaintances.
"Lao Chang, why don't you tell me who your new boss is?" Boss Fan said meaningfully. He really could not figure out Qin Sheng's background.
Chang Baji said calmly, "Lao Fan, there are some things that I can't tell you. But as long as Qin Sheng asks for your help, no matter how big it is, you just need to say yes."
Boss Fan frowned slightly. Of course, he knew what Chang Baji meant. It meant that Qin Sheng's background was very powerful. But there were some doubts that he did not understand.
"Lao Chang, you said that he grew up in Xi 'an. I more or less know all the famous people in Xi' an. Even if I don't know them, I have seen them. But I have never heard of or seen such a person," Boss Fan said honestly. Before they met, Chang Baji just casually said some things about Qin Sheng. For example, Qin Sheng grew up in Xi 'an and came back this time to take revenge. So he might need his help in some aspects.
If it were someone else, Chang Baji would definitely not reveal too much. But after all, it was Lao Fan. Moreover, Qin Sheng took the initiative to talk to Lao Fan. It seemed that they had a good chat today. So Chang Baji whispered, "Although he grew up in Xi 'an, he is not from there. Lin Xi is just his adoptive father."
"Oh, I see. Then where is he from?" Boss Fan asked curiously.
Chang Baji said calmly, "Beijing."
Mr. Fan instantly understood what Chang Baji meant. He also understood why Chang Baji had chosen this young man. It turned out that he was a foppish young master from Beijing. Mr. Fan drank his tea thoughtfully.
Chang Baji joked, "Why don't you ask what you will get in return for helping him?"
Hearing this, Boss Fan could not help laughing. He said calmly, "Lao Chang, it's just a small thing. To put it bluntly, if it is really as I think, Qin Sheng can solve the problem without my help. It may be a little more complicated. Or maybe it is because of you that Qin Sheng is willing to contact me. As long as I have this connection, what else do I need in return? "
Chang Baji said quietly, "Lao Fan, you are still the same old Lao Fan. He will not let you down."
After an hour, Qin Sheng finally came out of the library. It was Hao Lei's phone call that woke him up. Only then did he realize that so much time had passed without him noticing. He was the only one left in the library, so he hurriedly walked out.
After coming in, Qin Sheng said embarrassedly, "I'm really sorry. I didn't pay attention to the time and made you wait for so long."
Lao Fan chuckled and said, "Qin Sheng, it seems that we are kindred spirits. Nowadays, there are not many young people like you who like to read. Most of them are too impetuous. They are eager for quick results and can't calm down at all."
"After so many years, the only habit that I still insist on is always carrying a few books with me. As long as I don't read for a few days, I will feel a little nervous. Maybe I am too confused about the future, so I am not at ease," Qin Sheng said casually.
Yuan Ya said at the right time, "Boss, dinner is ready. Shall we go over now?"
Boss Fan stood up and chuckled as he said, "Qin Sheng, now that your spiritual world has been enriched, your stomach should be full, right? You can't survive without food. You will feel hungry if you miss a meal. Come on, let's go and eat first.
Qin Sheng knew that everyone was waiting for him. He smiled and nodded. Then they moved to the dining room.
Dinner was arranged to be authentic Shaanxi cuisine. In fact, there were not many outstanding dishes in Shaanxi cuisine. However, Yuan Ya thought that Qin Sheng grew up in Xi 'an and might not have eaten authentic Shaanxi cuisine for a long time. It was a good opportunity for him to enjoy the aftertaste.
Qin Sheng did not have any special requirements for food. No matter what kind of cuisine was arranged, the most important thing was to chat. After the dinner started, Qin Sheng and Boss Fan were still chatting. They were still talking about the collection of books. Qin Sheng said that he was very envious of Boss Fan for having such a treasure house. In the future, when he was free, he would build a book collection room and read in it every day to kill time. Boss Fan said happily, "This is the life of the old. I am old, so I like quiet. If you really like it, I will give all these books to you when I am old and blind."
For a real scholar, books were more important than anything else. They could borrow money or things, but they would never borrow books. Qin Sheng did not know whether Boss Fan was being insincere and polite, or regretted not meeting him earlier because they were like-minded. This was a matter for the future.
At the end of the dinner, Qin Sheng finally opened his mouth. He chuckled and said, "Brother Fan, in fact, I came to see you this time because I need your help."
Boss Fan directly interrupted Qin Sheng and said, "Qin Sheng, Lao Chang has told me all about you. Not to mention that we had such a good chat today, based on the relationship between Lao Chang and me, your business is my business. So during this period in Xi 'an, if you need any help, just tell me. I will definitely do my best, no matter what kind of god you offend. "
Qin Sheng was a little surprised, but he still smiled and said, "Brother Fan, I have a friend here to help me on the surface. You should have heard of Liu Changxi. I am just afraid that they are full of dirty tricks. I don't want to get involved in these things. It is not that I am afraid of them, but I think it is troublesome. So I hope you can help me solve these troubles."
After hearing Qin Sheng's words, Boss Fan smiled and said, "I understand what you mean." But he cared more about the name that Qin Sheng mentioned, Liu Changxi. This playboy was not simple in Xi 'an. No one dared to offend him.
Boss Fan then asked, "Qin Sheng, do you know Liu?"
Qin Sheng said honestly, "Our two families have business dealings. He is close to my sister, but he is often bullied by my sister."
Qin Sheng knew Liu Changxi's status in Xi 'an, so he deliberately mentioned Liu Changxi's name. In this way, Boss Fan would have some understanding of his strength, and then he would really do his best to help him. He could not tell Boss Fan directly that his father was Qin Changan, so he could only use Liu Changxi's name.
