Chapter 42: Su Qing's Pursuit

When Xiao Yu woke up and looked out the window, it was already dark. Looking out of the floor-to-ceiling windows of the hotel, Victoria Bay is still so beautiful in the lights of thousands of homes. The river was full of boats, as if the accident of the previous day had never happened. This couldn't help but make Xiao Yu feel unreal in a trance.

"I don't know how long I've slept this night......" Xiao Yu muttered to himself, but the original physical and mental exhaustion was swept away. Walking out of the bedroom, Su Qingteng, who was already sitting on the sofa in the living room, stood up and said happily: "You finally woke up? ”

"Hey, have you been waiting for me here for a long time?" Xiao Yu said scratching his head.

"It's already eight o'clock in the evening, and you've been sleeping like a pig since the morning!" Su Qing quipped, "By the way, you haven't eaten for a day, you must be very hungry, right?" I asked the hotel to prepare a meal, so let them deliver it." With that, he made a phone call to the front desk of the hotel.

"It's so late, no wonder it's already dark outside. Xiao Yu yawned, suddenly remembered something, and asked, "By the way, has Xiao Rubing been here?"

"Ahh

"Don't, let me finish my dinner first. Xiao Yu stopped Su Qing. The other old gentleman should be Sun Zhenbang, it seems that Su Qing doesn't know the truth of the matter yet, which makes Xiao Yu secretly relieved. He didn't want Su Qing to get involved in this matter of the Xiao family, but Xiao Yu hadn't thought about how to reply to Xiao Tengfei.

Objectively speaking, the conditions given by Xiao Tengfei can be said to be extremely tempting, not so much that Xiao Tengfei asked Xiao Yu for help, but rather that he gave Xiao Yu a great fortune, and such a temptation may not have any thoughts of refusal in front of anyone.

But Xiao Yu is an alternative, the experience of being a human being in two lives is already mysterious and shocking enough, which is equivalent to making him reborn once, making him look down on the wealth and power in the world.

Moreover, although he has adapted to modern life, for an "ancient man" like him, the high technology and convenience of modern society have made him feel like he is in heaven, and he does not know much about the life of a really rich person, so he has never longed for the life of a rich man. In his opinion, the satisfaction of money and status brought by being in charge of the Xiao family's property was far less than the trouble it bringed.

Seeing that Xiao Yu fell into deep thought, Su Qing joked: "What are you thinking?

Xiao Yu scratched his head embarrassedly and said with a smile: "The experience of these two days makes people feel like they are in a dream. ”

Su Qing smiled: "What is this, the day I met you, I was like a dream." A person who has traveled from ancient times, and is also a martial arts master, hehe, this plot is only found in novels. In fact, I still have a feeling of unreality, for fear that when I wake up, it will be a dream. ”

"Well, actually, I feel that way too. Xiao Yu also smiled and said, "Many times I feel that all this is a dream, maybe one day when I wake up, I will find that I am still lying at the bottom of that cliff, and I have been in a coma all the time." ”

"I've heard there's an easy way to tell if you're dreaming. ”

"Oh?

"It's just pinching yourself and seeing if it hurts. Why don't I pinch your thigh?"

"You're necrotic, let me pinch you and try it!"

The two were talking and laughing, and the waiter brought dinner in, and both of them had been hungry for a day, and they didn't care about maintaining their manners, so they ate in the room.

"Su Qing, do you know what the life of a rich person is like?" Xiao Yu asked vaguely with food stuffed in his mouth.

"Hmm...... Although I rarely come into contact with rich people, I can often see them in film and television dramas and novels!" Su Qing said, "But in my opinion, there are actually many kinds of rich people." Like Yang Liang, who runs a company at home, he can be regarded as a rich second generation. I usually live in a luxury house, drive a luxury car, wear brand-name clothes, go in and out of high-end restaurants, and must live in a five-star hotel or above. Of course, he is a small boss at best, not the richest. The really rich have private estates, private yachts, and even private jets, and the most common exercise is golf, as long as it is a problem that can be solved by spending money, it is not a problem at all in their eyes. ”

"Oh, that's how rich people live in modern society. Xiao Yu nodded, and asked tentatively, "Then do you think Xiao Rubing's family is such a rich man?"

"Rubing? So you feel the same way as me. Su Qing suddenly realized, "Although Rubing has been very easy-going when she has been with us these days, and she has not put on a trace of rich people's shelves, I can feel the kind of cultivation and noble temperament between her gestures, which can only be cultivated by wealthy nobles." Looking at the heartfelt respect that others have for her when she goes in and out of various occasions, I guess her family must be the wealthy class on Hong Kong Island. ”

Not only is it the rich class, it is completely one of the few aristocratic and wealthy families in Hong Kong, Xiao Yu thought in his heart, but said: "Then do you want to live that kind of rich life?"

"Who wouldn't want to live that life if it were possible? Unfortunately, most people can only think about it. This society is like this, 20 percent of the people control 80 percent of the wealth of the whole society, and the real wealthy aristocrats are even rarer, and the huge wealth they control openly and secretly is not what we ordinary people can imagine. Su Qing sighed and said.

"Then let me ask you a question. Xiao Yu asked tentatively, "What if...... I mean, if there is a rich man who takes a fancy to you and wants you to be her daughter, as long as you nod your head, there will be countless glory and wealth waiting for you, and all you lose is your previous identity, and all your previous experiences will be erased, are you willing?"

"Poof!" Su Qing almost squirted out the food in her mouth and protested, "Don't bring such a trick! This is so fake, do you think life is filming a TV series?"

"You don't think there's such a possibility in real life?"

"Anyway, I think it's almost unlikely, unless the rich man is crazy. And even if there really is such a good thing, it will not fall on my head. Su Qing blinked, and then said in a teasing tone, "But for many women, there is still a way to marry into a wealthy family, although most of them are just fantasies, but after all, it is also a placebo." But if you men want to become rich, you can only work your own!"

Xiao Yu pursed his lips, thinking that there was an opportunity in front of me now, as long as I nodded, the life of the wealthy nobles would be at my fingertips, but he said: "It seems that it has been the same for thousands of years." It was the same in our time, when the vast majority of wealth was in the hands of a very small number of people. The food and clothing of those big people can sometimes be worth the income of an ordinary person for a year or even a few years. ”

Su Qing nodded, changed her words again, and said, "But in my opinion, ordinary people also have the happiness of ordinary people, at least I don't have to worry about losing the power and wealth in my hands all day long." Just like the emperor in ancient times, he had to keep his ancestors' family business, and he had to always guard against the people below him to deceive him, and in the end, no one dared to trust him, and became a real lonely person, isn't that kind of life quite sad?"

Xiao Yu thought of the Xiao family's open and secret struggles and Xiao Tengfei's exhaustion, so he couldn't help but nod again and again, and said approvingly: "I didn't expect you to be so young, but you have seen this life so thoroughly, and the words you said are so philosophical, I really admire you very much." ”

Su Qing said embarrassedly: "You won the award, don't you act like this in TV series?"

Xiao Yu: ......

When Xiao Yu and Su Qing were eating in the room and discussing whether it was better to have money or not, Xiao Rubing and Sun Zhenbang were drinking coffee in the café on the first floor of the hotel, their brows furrowed.

"Uncle Sun, do you think Xiao Yu will accept our plan?" Xiao Rubing asked worriedly.

Sun Zhenbang sighed and said, "Now it seems that it is really difficult to say." Originally, when the master asked me to find a candidate, I never thought that there would be people who would not want to accept this pie falling from the sky. You must know that this is a height that ordinary people can't reach in their lifetime! But this Xiao Yu is an anomaly, he is so young, but he can remain so calm in the face of such a great temptation, but he is even lighter than an old man like me. The strength of my heart made me unexpected......"

"What if Xiao Yu insists on refusing to accept our conditions and is unwilling to get involved in this matter?

"It's not impossible to look for a new one, it's just that it's too difficult to find a suitable candidate in a short period of time, I'm afraid that the master's body can't wait that long! Moreover, we have already released rumors before, and now if a new Xiao Zhanhong emerges, then the credibility is not high, are you fools in the Xiao family and the company?"

"Anyway, let's listen to Xiao Yu's thoughts first. Xiao Rubing looked at his watch, "It's almost 9 o'clock, I guess he should wake up, let's go up to him again." ”

The two left the café, took the elevator upstairs directly, and came to the suite where Xiao Yu and Su Qing lived.
