Chapter 150: After the Rival Meeting
Shen Jiayao hesitated for a moment and replied, "Pretending to be ...... Even if it's a fake!"
Pang Jindong immediately agreed: "Okay, I agree." ”
On the same day, after Pang Jindong put Barney on the plane, he carefully retouched it and went to the appointment on time.
Shen Jiayao is wearing a Prada evening dress today, lightly powdered, with a graceful and noble temperament.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then lowered their heads and looked at the ground under their feet, both of them feeling a little embarrassed, not knowing what to do next.
After a while, Pang Jindong said, "Let's go in!" Pang Jindong said, stretched out his right arm, and motioned for Shen Jiayao to hold him.
Shen Jiayao smiled, grabbed Pang Jindong's arm, and clinged to Pang Jindong's body tightly. This young strong woman in the business world shows an unknown side of daily life at this time, like a bird following people. There was a heartfelt smile on the corner of her mouth, and a little happiness occasionally flowed between her eyebrows, which was an expression that only Pang Jindong was familiar with, and it also made Pang Jindong finally find the feeling of childhood.
Whether it is Pang Jindong or Shen Jiayao, they can no longer remember how many times they went to school together arm in arm or ran crazy on the street in the years of living together, which is the best memory in their lives.
But when the frog becomes a prince and Cinderella puts on the crystal slipper, this clear courage that once flowed in the innocent years no longer exists. Both of them felt that their hearts were beating hard, and Shen Jiayao's face was even slightly hot.
Pang Jindong sighed in a low voice: "Hold the hand of the son, grow old with the son." ”
Shen Jiayao heard this sentence and said in the same low voice: "This is an ideal that people have been pursuing since thousands of years ago. ”
Many people know this verse, but very few know the previous verse. ”
"Life and death are broad, and Zicheng said. Shen Jiayao had just finished answering, and suddenly realized something, looked at Pang Jindong and asked, "Why don't you say it?"
Pang Jindong did not answer, but discussed the poem on the poem: "What this sentence describes is the life and death promise that the soldier made to his wife before going on the expedition. However, some people interpret the word "Qikuo" as the "covenant" in the army, that is, the soldiers on the battlefield, encourage each other, and agree on the covenant of life and death, no matter what danger they encounter, they should not escape alone without regard for the brothers. ”
In an instant, Shen Jiayao understood something, and his eyes were a little hazy. But she didn't continue to ask, and Pang Jindong didn't say anything more.
When the two of them calmly walked into the venue together, they attracted the envy of many people.
The people who can appear here are all people who can call for wind and rain in politics or shopping malls, and the wealth that Pang Jindong exchanged for blood is only a fraction of many of their assets. If it were an ordinary person, he might not be busy with these people at this time. But in the face of these vested interests of the unspoken rules of society, Pang Jindong has always maintained a kind of arrogance, and even disdains them.
This kind of "looking at the king several times" has made many people feel admired, but also made some people feel uncomfortable.
Chen Gongzi, the host of the party, soon knew about Shen Jiayao's arrival, and hurriedly came over to greet him with a smile on his face. But when he saw Pang Jindong, his expression became a little distorted.
Chen Gongzi didn't look at Pang Jindong squarely, but asked Shen Jiayao: "Yaoyao, this is ......"
"We've met...... Pang Jindong politely stretched out his hand, smiled and said, "Chen Gongzi's name is like thunder!"
Pang Jindong emphasized the last four words, Chen Gongzi understood this hint, and reluctantly shook hands with Pang Jindong unhappily.
Shen Jiayao said to Chen Gongzi: "Now let me officially introduce you, this is my boyfriend, Pang Jindong, chairman of Dongyao Company. Shen Jiayao deliberately said it very loudly, so that everyone present could hear it clearly. Some of the second ancestors who coveted Shen Jiayao couldn't help but feel a little disheartened.
Chen Gongzi's heart was not very comfortable, but he was very deep in the city, so he did not reveal it at all on the surface. He smiled and said to Shen Jiayao: "I envy him so much!" Then, he turned to Pang Jindong and said, "Mr. Pang's name has been very loud recently, especially in the matter of CBD land. ”
In the face of this kind of implicit sarcastic compliment, Pang Jindong just smiled indifferently and said, "I didn't expect Chen Gongzi to be very well-informed!"
"It's not well-informed. Chen Gongzi felt as if he had the upper hand, and mocked: "When a small company that has just been established and is unknown takes over that piece of land, the whole industry is shaken. ”
"This can be regarded as a blockbuster, a blockbuster!"
Although Pang Jindong used Chen Gongzi's topic to cleverly elevate himself, Chen Gongzi continued to make a fuss about this matter: "That land is very popular, how did Mr. Pang get it, can you confide in some of it, let us also learn about it." ”
Pang Jindong replied: "If Chen Gongzi can become my partner, I will be happy to say everything." The implication of this sentence is: "Since you are not my partner, don't meddle in your business." ”
Despite hitting such a nail that is neither soft nor hard, Chen Gongzi still refuses to give up: "I am very interested in cooperating with Mr. Pang, I wonder if Mr. Pang is willing to give this opportunity?"
"It is an honor for me to be able to work with Gongzi Chen. It's just that there are still a few projects in which our company still has enough strength to operate, so there is no need to find partners. The words were neither humble nor arrogant, so that Chen Gongzi didn't know how to deal with it for a while. Seeing this, Pang Jindong gave him a step: "I hope there will be this opportunity in the future!"
After a confrontation, although Chen Gongzi cannot be said to be defeated, he is also at a disadvantage. Shen Jiayao, who was very satisfied with Pang Jindong's appearance, decided to accept it as soon as he saw it, and told Chen Gongzi: "Forgive me for missing me." There are a few elders over there, I should go over and say hello. ”
Chen Gongzi maintained his demeanor and nodded slightly: "See you later." ”
Shen Jiayao was intimately next to Pang Jindong, couldn't suppress his happy expression, and said in a low voice: "You just looked awesome!"
"Thanks for the compliment. ”
"Wait a minute, I'll introduce you to a few people, they are all very influential, and they will be of great help to your career!"
Pang Jindong replied lightly: "Oh!"
Shen Jiayao felt strange about Pang Jindong's expression and asked, "Aren't you interested?"
"I can't talk about it, or I don't have interest. Being able to associate with them certainly benefits me. But it doesn't matter if I don't have these people in my life. ”
"Happy ......" Shen Jiayao was about to say something, but was interrupted by Pang Jindong: "Happy was my name when I was a child, and now I prefer others to call me Jerry." ”
Shen Jiayao was very surprised by this sentence, she looked at Pang Jindong in surprise, and the hand holding Pang Jindong's arm tightly, a little relaxed. But this was only a matter of moments, and Shen Jiayao immediately realized that she had to accept Pang Jindong's change today, because she had already changed a lot, although she didn't know if this change was what she would like.
In an instant, Shen Jiayao suddenly hoped that Jerry today and the happiness of the year were still alone.
Shen Jiayao asked, "Why do you say that?"
"Because I and them are people of two worlds at all!"
"What kind of worlds are they?"
"They are much luckier than me, I have to win a qiē through my own efforts, and they are either ......born with a golden key," Pang Jindong said, gesturing to a few of the second ancestors who were obviously the sons of the gentlemen. "Or use the unfair competition of unspoken rules to win wealth,......." Pang Jindong said here, pointing to a few guys who were full of charlatanism. "Or use the power in the hands of yourself, or relatives and friends, to seek benefits for yourself......" Speaking of this, Pang Jindong pointed to a few pot-bellied people. In the end, Pang Jindong concluded: "Therefore, in a certain way, I look down on them. ”
Shen Jiayao smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to have so many complaints about today's society. ”
"I have plenty of reason to complain because we live in an unfair society. If you think I'm wrong, then tell me how many people in our society have succeeded by their own efforts. Sure, your dad might be an exception, but what about the other nine people in the top 10 on the rich list?"
For such an obvious fact, Shen Jiayao has no intention of denying it. It's just that her perspective on these things is not the same as Pang Jindong. "I think a successful person should know how to learn and adapt to the environment, rather than trying to change the environment," she said. ”
"In a sense, you're right. After a pause, Pang Jindong asked, "Do you know the Rothschild family?"
Shen Jiayao shook his head: "I don't know." ”
"To put it simply, it's a pretty large family, and they've amassed a huge fortune over the past two centuries. One of the secrets of their success is that they are highly adaptable to their environment. ”
"Thank you for confirming my point. ”
Pang Jindong shrugged his shoulders and said, "Please wait for me to finish my words before commenting." ”
"Okay!" Shen Jiayao nodded and looked at Pang Jindong with a smile. I don't know why, she became interested in this topic of Pang Jindong.
Pang Jindong said: "The Rothschilds can only be said to be economically successful, but even if they do something that has never been done before, what can they do?"
"I think in this world, the wealth that they have has the influence to do whatever they want. ”
"They are Jews. Pang Jindong sighed, and explained enough questions with this simple answer. To further illustrate, Pang added: "Similar to their fate, there are also Chinese who hold the economic lifeblood of Southeast Asia. ”
Shen Jiayao put away her smile and asked thoughtfully, "What do you want to prove?"
"The Rothschilds are puppets of fate, but not masters of fate. Therefore, I believe that there are two realms in life, one is to adapt to the environment and achieve success in the general sense, and the other is to change the environment and achieve greater success. ”
"There's some truth to what you're saying. ”
Pang Jindong picked up two cocktails from a waiter's tray, handed one to Shen Jiayao, took another one and took a sip, and then said: "Look at those famous characters in history, they all created their own eras. Whether this era is good or bad for most people, they are more powerful and remembered for a long time than others of their time. ”
"I wish you success!" Shen Jiayao smiled and stretched out his hand to Pang Jindong.
"I'm sorry, but this topic seems a bit off the rails. Pang Jindong shook hands with Shen Jiayao, shrugged his shoulders again, and explained: "Actually, I don't have any ambitions, I am young but I have experienced too many things, so I just hope that I can spend my life without wind and waves." ”
"Open...... Jerry, what did you do in your ten years abroad?
Pang Jindong didn't answer Shen Jiayao's question, but changed the topic: "Aren't you going to introduce a few people to me, I'm still waiting!"
Shen Jiayao nodded: "Okay!"
Shen Jiayao, as he said, introduced Pang Jindong to people with very high social status. The entertainment with these people was vulgar and snobbish, and Pang Jindong, who was full of reluctance, had to pray secretly that this damn party would be over.
Although dealing with these people was quite painstaking, it did not affect Pang Jindong's attention to the surrounding environment. Pang Jindong could clearly feel that there was a resentful gaze that often swept over his body.
The owner of this gaze was Chen Gongzi, who had originally prepared a grand and romantic ceremony to propose to Shen Jiayao in the presence of all the guests here. But because he wasn't crazy enough to do this in front of his boyfriend, Pang Jindong's appearance made this qiē go to naught, and also made his coveting of the Shen family's property fail.
Pang Jindong knew that he had completely offended Chen Gongzi, and he was tired of this kind of gaze, and when he was thinking about how to teach him a lesson, an old man slowly paced over and said, "I didn't expect to be able to see you here!"
"Mr. Qin, hello!" Pang Jindong was surprised by Qin Xiaotian's appearance.
If you don't take into account that elegant temperament, Qin Xiaotian is basically no different from any ordinary retired old man on the street. But compared to the environment and people here, his simple dress seems very incongruous.
Shen Jiayao walked over and asked Pang Jindong, "Do you know Mr. Qin?" Immediately after, she greeted Qin Xiaotian: "Uncle Qin is good!"
Qin Xiaotian smiled and said to Shen Jiayao: "Good, I haven't seen you for a few days, Yaoyao is beautiful again." ”
"Uncle Qin has won the award. ”
Pang Jindong said: "I have had several encounters with Mr. Qin. ”
"When did you start speculating in stocks?" Shen Jiayao realized that Pang Jindong didn't know the details of Qin Xiaotian, so he wanted to try to introduce it.
