CHAPTER 555 — CHAPTER 555
So powerful?
Since Qin Sheng returned to the Qin family, Qin Ran had been reminding Qin Sheng to be more careful when dealing with these rich playboys. Whether they were old friends or new friends, he had to be careful. Because Qin Sheng had never been in this circle, he naturally did not know how shallow the water was. With such an identity, he was likely to become someone else's prey.
Qin Sheng originally thought that he might have thought too much at today's gathering. It was not until Madman talked about Song Ruyu that Qin Sheng was sure that he did not think too much, because these people had already given themselves away. That was, they had long known that he was back. As for how they knew, Qin Sheng did not care, but they must have secretly inquired about it. But why did they never take the initiative to look for him? Was it because they had not contacted each other for more than 20 years, and taking the initiative to contact him would make others doubt their motives? Or was it because the Qin family was in danger, so they took the initiative to stay away and did not want to be involved?
Of course, if that was the case, Qin Sheng could understand. After all, their identity inevitably made them think this way. But Qin Sheng's expectations for them were naturally greatly reduced. However, they had not contacted each other for more than 20 years. What was there to look forward to from the emotional foundation established by a few years old? To say the least, if it was not because of Qin Sheng's identity, if it were an ordinary person, who would care about you? They would have completely forgotten about you.
Therefore, Qin Sheng's mood instantly fell to the bottom. He squinted his eyes and smiled. "Who did you hear this from?"
The people present were all smart people who often chatted happily with leaders and big shots. The environment they were in also made them very good at observing people's words and expressions. Therefore, Qin Sheng's expression and tone at this moment made everyone realize that this topic caused by the madman made Qin Sheng very unhappy. The atmosphere instantly became awkward.
Everyone looked at each other and realized that they had talked too much. Some of them might have a natural sense of superiority. After all, they grew up in Sijiu City, unlike Qin Sheng who had been wandering outside and only came back recently. However, they seemed to have forgotten that among these people present, Qin Sheng's identity was the most prominent and had the most powerful background. He was not someone they could compare with at all. Only Xu Wen could be at the same level as him.
Jiang Zhili, who realized that something was wrong, quickly eased the atmosphere. "Qin Sheng, don't take it seriously. Madman usually likes to joke. He doesn't mean anything else."
Qin Sheng did not pay attention to Jiang Zhili. It was not that he did not want to give face to Jiang Zhili, the host, but he really wanted to get to the bottom of it. This was not a small matter.
"What? Why wouldn't I dare to say it? "Qin Sheng seemed to say it casually, but everyone knew that Qin Sheng was serious. When Qin Sheng was serious, the others realized that they had somewhat underestimated Qin Sheng.
Madman smiled awkwardly and replied, "I also heard it from others. It seems that a friend sitting at the table next to me said it at a party."
Qin Sheng really wanted to say, "That means you have long known the news of my return," but he did not say it out loud. Otherwise, the dinner would not go on.
As a result, Qin Sheng laughed out loud and said, "Look at how nervous you are. I just asked casually. Ruyu and I are just ordinary friends. If it weren't for the fact that our families are old friends, do you think I would know the Great Goddess Song?"
"Hahahaha, I knew it. How could Qin Sheng be angry? But to be honest, Qin Sheng, if you can really marry the Great Goddess Song, you will really make us proud. "Xing Xiaodong echoed. He and Jiang Zhili had been leading the atmosphere tonight, talking about a lot of trivial and interesting things in the entertainment circle.
Jiang Zhili did not want to delve further into this topic, so he stopped them in a hurry and said, "All right, let's not talk about this. Qin Sheng already has a girlfriend. You old men who are already married, stop thinking about the Great Goddess Song. Let's drink."
After Jiang Zhili finished speaking, he raised his glass. Everyone followed him and raised their glasses. This topic was over. However, Qin Sheng was a little confused. Where on earth did the news come from? Who said that he had an ambiguous relationship with Song Ruyu?
The dinner went on, but it seemed that because of this small matter, the atmosphere was a little bit awkward. Qin Sheng did not say anything more. When a few bottles of wine were drunk, the dinner came to an end.
Originally, Jiang Zhili wanted to continue with the next round, but now it seemed that it was obviously not suitable. Everyone first sent Qin Sheng to the car, politely greeted and waved goodbye. When Qin Sheng got in the car, Jiang Zhili said in a low voice, "If they said something wrong, don't take it too seriously. Maybe they were too happy to see you."
"It's okay. I'm not a stingy person," Qin Sheng said casually.
Jiang Zhili patted Qin Sheng's shoulder gently and said, "Okay, we'll contact each other later. Be careful on the road."
Everyone watched Qin Sheng leave, but the look in their eyes was meaningful. Song Fangwang first sighed and said, "The First Young Master Qin is still full of confidence, far beyond us. Although he has been away from this circle for more than 20 years, it is far from as simple as we think."
"Lao Fang, if your family had such a strong background and inside information, you would also be like this," Xing Xiaodong responded with a smile. He really envied Qin Sheng's background. With such a strong background, he could succeed in whatever he wanted to do.
Madman, who was angrily rebuked by Qin Sheng tonight, said sarcastically, "I see it clearly. It's impossible for us to become friends with the First Young Master Qin. We can't afford to be friends with him."
Jiang Zhili said impatiently, "You guys, can you not think so much? I've already said that tonight is just to catch up and meet our childhood friends, nothing else. If you guys have a purpose from the beginning, then I really don't think it's necessary for you to come tonight."
No matter what, Jiang Zhili had to say so, because other than the others, Xu Wen had not left yet. He could be sure that tonight's gathering had further lowered Xu Wen's evaluation of them as friends. In the future, they would definitely be further apart. If that was really the case, it would really be a little bit of a loss.
Xu Wen, who had been silent, said at this time, "I still have some work to do, I'll leave first."
Jiang Zhili said helplessly, "It's still early. I was still thinking of finding another place to drink tea and drink wine. We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's have a chat."
"Another day." Xu Wen rejected very tactfully, but it was obvious that his tone was a little disdainful. He was a proud person and had always had ideals and ambitions, so he actually did not have many like-minded friends, and he did not want to be in the same boat as most people.
Before Jiang Zhili could say anything, Madman took the lead to send him off. "Okay, you can leave first if you have something to do. Let's meet again if there's a chance."
Xu Wen did not say anything and went straight to the side of the road to hail a taxi. He did not drive over tonight because he had already planned to drink. Seeing his childhood best playmate again, Xu Wen's impression was neither good nor bad. He was not as excited as he had imagined, nor was he as disappointed as he had imagined. However, he knew that their interaction had just begun. However, if he really felt that they were not the same kind of people, Xu Wen would completely cut off contact with him. He would not let anyone stop him from moving forward.
After Xu Wen left, the hot-tempered Madman snorted coldly. "What are you pretending for? Look, did you see that? He doesn't want to play with us at all. Don't force him in the future."
Song Fangwang said thoughtfully, "Madman, don't say that. Xu Wen has always been like this."
Xing Xiaodong let out a long sigh and said, "Alright, we parted on bad terms. Let's go back to our own homes and find our own mothers."
"I don't know who you're going to find this time, who knows how many girls you've ruined?" Song Fangwang scolded angrily.
Jiang Zhili looked at these childhood friends and could only sigh helplessly. Some of them really went further and further, while some of them were still in the same place, so the end was almost visible now.
On the way back to the siheyuan, Qin Sheng took the initiative to call his sister and told her about the gathering tonight. This was because Qin Ran had told Qin Sheng on the phone at noon that he would tell her after he was done. She also wanted to know what these childhood friends' attitudes towards Qin Sheng was now.
"Xu Wen is here too?" Qin Ran was a little surprised. Among these people tonight, only Xu Wen had contact with her. In the past, he often called her to ask about Qin Sheng, but later on, he was busy with work, so their contact became less and less.
Qin Sheng asked curiously, "Sister, do you know him?"
"How could I not know? When we were young, you and Xu Wen had the best relationship. It could be said that you were in the same boat. Xu Wen often stayed at our house, and you often slept at Xu Wen's house. Whenever there was something delicious or fun, you would think of each other first. Later, after you were taken away by Grandpa, Xu Wen was sad for a long time. A few years ago, he would ask me if I had any news about you. But later on, we contacted less. I have a good impression of Xu Wen. As for the others, I have long forgotten, "Qin Ran said truthfully.
Qin Sheng recalled the gathering tonight and muttered to himself, "No wonder I always felt that the way he looked at me was different from the way others looked at me. So that's why. But tonight, he didn't talk much and didn't communicate much with me. "
"Xu Wen's character is like that. He doesn't talk much. But you can say that Xu Wen is the most promising and promising one among your group. Now he is working in the Central Office." Speaking of Xu Wen, Qin Ran had a lot to say. So she was very surprised that Xu Wen could come tonight. After all, Xu Wen was not on the same level as the others.
Qin Sheng was very shocked. "So powerful?"
"What do you think?" Qin Ran was not surprised by Qin Sheng's shock. After all, those who could enter the Central Office were not ordinary people. Moreover, Xu Wen was the kind of person who had been entrusted with high hopes. As long as he was given enough time, he would definitely soar to the sky.
However, there were still some things that Qin Sheng did not quite understand. He could not tell what it was, but he just felt that something was wrong. However, Qin Sheng was really shocked that Xu Wen was working in the Central Office. It was absolutely different for ordinary people and rich playboys to enter the Central Office, just like he knew about Song Ruyu's job.
After talking about these things, Qin Sheng asked Qin Ran when she would be back. Qin Ran said that she would be back when she missed her, and then she hung up.
