The joke was just a joke. Naturally, no one would take the matter of the salary deduction seriously.
He had to admit that women were still the best at buying clothes.
After changing into the clothes that Shen Qian had chosen, Li Dong felt much more energetic. It was true that the clothes make the man and the saddle make the horse.
Li Dong looked at himself in the mirror for a while and asked Shen Qian, "Do you come here often?"
Looking at Shen Qian's appearance, she was obviously very familiar with this area.
The things sold here were all luxury goods. With Shen Qian's salary, she might not even be able to afford a piece of clothing.
Li Dong thought for a moment. Could her father be a greedy person?
Shen Qian ignored him and helped Li Dong straighten his collar. After observing him for a while, she said, "Just make do with it. If you ask me, don't be too grandiose. Find a manufacturer and order a few sets. They'll fit you better than buying them."
"I don't have a high demand for clothes."
As soon as Li Dong finished speaking, Shen Qian retorted, "Are these clothes? It's not about the clothes. It's about the attitude. "
"Do you think rich people like to wear luxurious clothes? Do you think they like to wear suits and leather shoes? But why do they wear them? Why do they buy luxury goods? "
Li Dong said disapprovingly, "It's nothing more than face."
"What face? This is a kind of rule. People are social animals. Since you can't be arrogant, you have to learn to adapt. Although you are rich, you obviously don't have the mentality of a rich person. "
Li Dong raised his eyebrows and said, "What do you mean the mentality of a rich person? Are you saying that wearing a few gold chains makes you rich? "
Shen Qian sneered and said, "What you said is funny. Even a nouveau riche wouldn't do such a thing. Rich people are a group, not independent. If you want to survive and develop, then you have to learn to adapt. I won't tell you the details. Anyway, you will understand sooner or later. "
"You sound like you're telling the truth. Are you rich?"
Shen Qian snorted, "Why do you care if I have money or not? It's not like I'm spending your money."
Li Dong didn't want to argue with her. Although what Shen Qian said was harsh, it was the truth.
Li Dong was actually a nouveau riche. It was easy for him to earn money. He didn't even have the chance to experience the process. His concept of money was actually relatively weak.
In the past two years, he had earned a lot of money, but he hadn't really spent much.
When he paid the bill, Li Dong finally had a taste of what it meant to be rich. Two casual suits cost 280,000 yuan.
In the past, the clothes that Li Dong bought weren't bad. There were quite a lot of clothes that cost ten or twenty thousand.
However, two suits cost 280,000 yuan, which was almost enough to buy a house. This kind of thing rarely happened to Li Dong.
Shen Qian looked as usual. After paying the bill and coming out of the store, Shen Qian asked Li Dong, "Did you experience it?"
"Experience what?"
Shen Qian said plainly, "The feeling of being above others. Did you see it when you paid the bill just now? The way the shop assistants look at you and treat you with the same attitude. This is the magic of money. If you were poor, would they still treat you like this? "
Li Dong didn't understand what she meant. He frowned and said, "What are you trying to say?"
Shen Qian was silent for a moment. After a while, she said, "I just want to tell you that having money is better than not having money."
"You're crazy! Of course I know that having money is better than not having money! "
"Forget it. You don't understand."
Li Dong felt that Shen Qian was behaving strangely today, but he did not ask much. Shen Qian was a person who could talk to you for a whole day if she wanted to, but when she did not want to, it was useless no matter how much you asked.
After the two walked for a while, Shen Qian said, "You still have something to buy?"
"What?"
"A watch."
Li Dong glanced at the Earl's specialty store next to him and asked, "This?"
Shen Qian snorted, "It's fake. There's only one Rolex store in Pingchuan."
Li Dong was puzzled, "No one checked?"
"Why would you check? He didn't say that he's real. If you think he's real, he's real. If you think he's fake, he's fake."
"How profound."
"Because you're too old-fashioned. Every time I see you looking at the time on your phone, do you know what I think?"
"What think?"
"It's really shameful to slap you to death." Shen Qian said with a chuckle, "It's not just me. I'm afraid others think so too. It's just that they're too embarrassed to say it."
"Tsk, do you have to buy a watch worth tens of millions to show off?"
Shen Qian was a little depressed, "Li Dong, really, sometimes I don't understand you. What's the use of earning so much money? You don't play with cars, you don't play with watches, you don't even play with women … Bah! "
Shen Qian blushed and continued, "Anyway, you have almost no hobbies. You're like Grandet, but sometimes you're very willing to spend money. For example, you donated last year, and even when you smashed the store, you were willing to spend money. Why are you not willing to spend money on yourself? "
Li Dong said indifferently, "Why do I have to spend money? If I need it, then I use it. If I don't, then I don't. Is spending extravagantly good? "
Shen Qian shook her head, "Your mentality is wrong. Li Dong, don't think that you're rich, but you're actually a failure, you know? I've said it before, the rich are a group, not independent. If you continue like this, you'll be out of place, and the road ahead will be very difficult. "
"The real rich are a circle, and you've been excluded from this circle. Do you have friends in the Pingchuan business circle? "
"I don't have a common language with them, and there's no need to make friends."
"Then you're wrong. It's difficult for people without friends to succeed. For example, if you weren't excluded from the circle, do you think Qi Guanghe would dare to plot against you? Even his son dared to bare his teeth at you? "
Li Dong didn't say anything.
Shen Qian also didn't say anything and found a Rolex store to help Li Dong choose a watch.
$160,000. Li Dong didn't say anything and paid the bill.
After leaving the watch store, Li Dong and Shen Qian walked for a while, and after a while, Li Dong said, "You said so much to let me make some friends at the charity gala?"
Shen Qian let out a long sigh, "You're not too stupid."
Li Dong rolled his eyes and snappily said, "Then just say it directly. Why are you beating around the bush?"
"I'm in a bad mood."
Shen Qian rubbed her forehead, and when she saw Li Dong looking at her, she said angrily, "You're the one who made me angry!"
"You're a monster! Li Dong, it's God's fault that you're rich. "
Li Dong was also unhappy, "You're the monster. I've never seen you with those rich second generations. Are you a monster if you don't blend in?"
"Because I have the right, but you don't!"
Shen Qian's words were very blunt, and she said bluntly, "What do you think you are in Pingchuan now? Li Dong, don't overestimate yourself. There aren't many people in Pingchuan who are richer than you, but there are many who can kill you. Why? It's not because they have more money or power than you, but because they have more friends than you. "
Li Dong fell silent again.
The two of them walked to the parking lot and got in the car. Li Dong let out a sigh, "Why did you say so much to me today?"
"I like Far away a lot."
Shen Qian only said that and didn't say anything else.
Li Dong understood. Because she liked Far away, Shen Qian didn't like Far Away.
In other words, Shen Qian felt that Far Away was already at its limit. If Li Dong wanted to break through, if he still had this attitude of drifting away from the business circle, then Far Away would be destroyed sooner or later.
Li Dong didn't say anything else, but in his heart, he was thinking, Do I have to blend in with the circle to succeed?
He really wanted to know if Old Ma and the rest had their own circle, but Li Dong really didn't know because he had too little knowledge in his previous life.
Shen Qian was right about one thing, and that was that Li Dong didn't have the mentality of a rich person.
The simplest point was that Li Dong didn't even know where the rich people in Pingchuan liked to hang out.
Golf? Bars? Clubhouses?
He was a homebody boss. He was either in the company or at home, so he really didn't know much about these things.
That day, Li Dong thought a lot. He didn't know if what Shen Qian said was right or wrong.
But he felt that Shen Qian wouldn't lie to him, because there was no need.
…
On the 16th, Li Dong's Maybach 57 arrived.
Many people gathered at the entrance of the Global Building. Everyone was looking at the luxury car with great interest. Some of them couldn't resist going up to touch it a few times. Zhou Haidong didn't stop them.
Li Dong stood at the entrance, looking at the car without saying a word.
Shen Qian was there too. She nodded slightly and said, "That's good. You've finally done something right."
Li Dong said unhappily, "I'm the boss. Don't use that tone when you talk to me."
Shen Qian didn't mind. She smiled and said, "I'm serious. This car of yours is one of a kind in Pingchuan. It's also your personal symbol. That Mercedes-Benz in the past, to be honest, Little Boss doesn't mind driving it. Rich people won't choose such a car that's too common. "
"So the Little Boss in your eyes can also drive a car worth millions?"
"Hehe."
"Hehe, my ass. Shen Qian, are you on your period? I've had enough of your sarcastic words! I can't be bothered with you these days. But if you don't handle things well with the electronics department, I'll make you pay. "
Li Dong's face was full of anger. This woman was getting more and more unbridled recently.
Although she had a powerful background and what she said might be for his own good, she shouldn't be so direct.
It's not a good feeling to be slapped in the face every day.
Shen Qian pouted and snorted. "Alright, I won't scold you in the future. But remember to be in the limelight at this charity gala. Don't be stingy with money and don't try to keep a low profile. Remember. "
"Why?"
"Why do you have so many questions?" Shen Qian said impatiently. "Just remember. Also, if you become the big winner at the gala, I have a surprise for you."
Li Dong's eyes moved. He licked his lips and said, "Don't try to fool me. This money will be wasted. Far away doesn't have much money now. If I didn't sell my shares, I can't even afford to open a new shop. I can't bear to spend too much. "
"Don't worry. Far away doesn't belong to you alone. Am I not from Far away?"
Li Dong gritted his teeth and finally nodded. "Alright, I'll do it!"
Shen Qian's face finally revealed a smile.
