Chapter 166 Opportunity
Chapter 166 Opportunity
After realizing this, Qin Lingzheng's eyes turned unfriendly when he looked at the other party.
But because he had a fight with Wen Yiche before, and was scolded by Bai Yuan after seeing it, he learned his lesson.
Therefore, even though Qin Lingzheng was dissatisfied now, he did not show it openly. Instead, he learned the superficial skills from Bai Yuan.
He had every bit of a polite smile on his face, and he showed off all the necessary manners, perfectly portraying the style of a prince who came from a wealthy family in Beijing.
But it was this deliberate action that made Lin Chen sweat profusely and suffer.
They are all smart people. How could he not see that Young Master Qin's overt and covert sarcasm and targeting were directed at someone?
He could only complain in his heart, but his own mother seemed to be unaware and was still trying to sell him out in various ways.
Lin Chen smiled dryly and took a sip of the drink on the table to ease the embarrassment. In fact, his toes were so deep under the table that they almost made a hole in the soles of his shoes.
What kind of thing is this? Other families are having a happy dinner together, but they, who are not even related to them, have to join in and cause trouble.
The meal was extremely awkward, and Lin Chen broke out in cold sweats. He finally made an excuse to go to the bathroom, came out to relax, and escaped from the depressing atmosphere at the table.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he entered the bathroom, Qin Lingzheng followed him in.
But in this way, Lin Chen actually felt relieved.
It was not convenient to say it at the dinner table just now, so now is the best time to say it in private, so as to avoid being targeted by this young master who looks like he has a prominent background and deliberately makes things difficult for him.
Lin Chen took out a cigarette from his pocket and politely presented it to Qin Lingzheng:
"Mr. Qin, please."
Qin Lingzheng was used to the style of the young master and his superficial smile, and gradually he got the essence of it.
At this moment, he looked back lightly and curled his lips, "I don't smoke."
"It's good not to smoke. It's healthy." Lin Chen flattered and put away the cigarette tactfully.
People who don't smoke often can't smell the smell of cigarettes.
In order to cater to the other party's preferences, even if you want to smoke, you have to endure it.
After all, you can smoke anytime.
It would be bad if you offend people.
What's more, I have already offended someone seriously over the meal just now, so why should I make myself unhappy again?
Originally, he wanted to use the cigarette to bring the two closer before speaking, but now he skipped that step. Lin Chen didn't waste any more words and went straight to the point, saying sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin. I'd like to apologize to you first. I know myself well and I know I'm not worthy of Miss Bai. Please don't take the elders' idle chat to heart."
Afraid that Qin Lingzheng would not believe him and think he was trying to fool him, Lin Chen took out his cell phone, opened his WeChat address book, and showed him the chat history between him and his girlfriend.
"I'm not lying to you. I have a girlfriend. We've been together for six months. Our relationship is stable. How about you check it out?"
Qin Lingzheng only glanced at the other person's phone and said, "I'm not interested in checking."
He walked to the sink again, rolled up his sleeves, and slowly took some water to wash his hands.
As if he was thinking and not caring, he left Lin Chen alone for a while, and when he felt that it was about time and the young master had done enough, he spoke again.
"I understand that it's not like we, the younger generation, have any chance to have a say in the decisions made by our elders."
Lin Chen nodded repeatedly.
Qin Lingzheng added: "We can still coax the elders, but we have to know what to do.
Come to think of it, Bai Yuan and I have been friends since childhood, and our friendship has always been deep and strong, so if others want to get involved, they have to have the ability to do so.
But if you can’t, it’s best not to get close to them in the first place, so as to avoid embarrassing everyone in the end.”
"You are absolutely right!"
Lin Chen understood the atmosphere in a second, nodded and said:
"Master Qin, don't worry. Once we get out of this door, I will spread the word that all the young masters in Haikou should behave themselves. Don't think about things you shouldn't think about, and don't touch things you should touch. I promise to show respect to Miss Bai. Nothing but respect!"
Qin Lingzheng hummed in a pretentious manner.
In fact, I sighed in my heart that it is easy to talk to smart people. Without saying much, the other party can interpret what I am thinking.
He also said, no wonder Bai Yuan always likes to talk to people in this way, it really works.
If it were the same as before, he would have pushed the person against the wall and said a few harsh words to first overwhelm the other person with his momentum and then intimidate him.
Now we can resolve the hidden dangers and crises with just a few words without touching Bai Yuan's sore spot and making her unhappy. This is really killing two birds with one stone.
"As long as you know what's going on."
Qin Lingzheng rinsed his hands, shook off the water droplets, and took out a paper towel for wiping hands from the equipment next to him, and slowly wiped off the remaining water marks on his hands.
"We come here to study. We won't stay longer than three years. We will eventually return to Beijing. We can't have any unnecessary involvement with Haikou. As long as you put your mind right, I naturally hope that these three years will pass peacefully. But if you insist on not being happy, don't blame me for not giving you face."
The way he said this was just short of having the word "disdain" written on his face. He was not afraid at all of offending a group of people as soon as he arrived in Beijing.
In short, the wealthy circle is also divided into different levels.
Local people look down on foreigners.
The old families look down upon the new dignitaries and the nouveau riche.
The extremely powerful look down upon the richest.
The water is deep and there are many twists and turns. There are countless chains of contempt, and it is not uncommon to step on others and praise them. It has almost become the norm in the circle.
But as long as you stand high enough, even if those ghosts, rats, snakes, demons and evil gods come, they can only stay aside obediently. Not only dare not be presumptuous, but also have to approach carefully to please and fawn on you.
In the face of absolute power, all the chains of contempt and unspoken rules seem to be empty talk, leaving only a laughing stock, and all that can be done is to please and fawn on others.
And standing at the top of all circles must be the red family of Jingli Compound.
This is also the reason why Qin Lingzheng dares to be so arrogant and domineering.
It is precisely because being born into a wealthy family is an insurmountable mountain for them that as long as they can establish one or two connections, they can transform their family and stand at the top of the circle.
That's why some people would do anything to get close to others and build good relationships.
If the daughter of one's family could catch the other party's eye, it would be a win-win situation.
Today's meal is just the beginning. If we don't set the rules in advance and give them a warning, who knows what kind of trouble they will cause later.
