Chapter 021: Reality
Money is not everything, no money is everything, this saying is very popular.
It's hard to imagine what kind of mentality people would say that money is not everything.
In these days, why don't you spend money?
Chen Fengxi is an out-and-out goldist, although he occasionally has enthusiasm and sometimes pride, but his desire and pursuit of money has never changed at all.
Living in this era, the only way to embody, prove and let others recognize your own value is money!
What kind of education, relationship, etc., these things are very clichΓ© as stepping stones, it is better to be like Chen Fengxi, and directly help the old mother-in-law make money!
Chen Fengxi said very simply, but he knew that the things here were not so simple, so Chu Qiuting and Huang Jun just listened casually, mainly to see how Chen Fengxi operated for a while.
In order to be able to show his hand in front of his future mother-in-law, Chen Fengxi can only concentrate his firepower to find traces in the Japanese and domestic leagues.
In order to prevent Chu Qiuting from being frightened, Chen Fengxi did not place a heavy bet, but just bought three Japanese B games and two Chinese Super League games with a return rate of 33 times.
500,000, 33 times, and winning is 16.5 million, which is a bit terrifying for Chu Qiuting, who doesn't particularly understand football.
The numbers don't matter, the important thing is the rate of return, it's too high!
After making a phone call and placing a bet, Chen Fengxi turned off the computer.
"Xiao Chen, why don't you wait to watch the game?" Huang Jun asked puzzled.
Chen Fengxi said calmly: "I usually don't buy the balls I watch. I don't usually look at the balls I bought. Because I'm not playing fundamentals, a lot of times I don't have to look at it. β
"It's kind of interesting. I just bought some casually, I'll have to find a place to check it out. Huang Jun walked out of the room with a smile, and it could be seen from his appearance that he was not so simple as buying something casually.
"You come out with me." As soon as Huang Jun left, Chu Qiuting glanced at Chen Fengxi with complicated eyes.
Chen Fengxi secretly felt strange and followed Chu Qiuting into the front yard, into a tea room dedicated to drinking tea and chatting, there was only one tea table and two waiters in a space of nearly fifty square meters.
"Sit down." Chu Qiuting calmly sat on the soft couch and sorted out the tea set in an orderly manner.
Chen Fengxi sat down with trepidation, and after sitting down, he understood why Li Nanzhi's tea art was so good, this Chu Qiuting was also a middle master, but shouldn't this job be done by a waiter?
"The waiter here is just helping to add water and tidy up the table, and how to make this tea is the customer's own business." Chu Qiuting quietly solved the doubts in Chen Fengxi's heart.
Chen Fengxi nodded silently.
Chu Qiuting poured Chen Fengxi a cup of fragrant green tea, and said lightly: "This tea drinking is the same as doing things, it will be bitter after it, and it will be light if it is owed. β
"Auntie is taught." Chen Fengxi nodded respectfully, for a preaching elder like Chu Qiuting, Chen Fengxi has always had 100% respect, because this thing, if you don't treat you as your own, no one wants to waste this spit.
Chu Qiuting said meaningfully: "Originally, I didn't want to tell you this kind of thing, but you have already come here, so I have to tell you something." β
Chen Fengxi said solemnly: "Auntie, please speak, I will listen." β
Chu Qiuting nodded with satisfaction, and gave Chen Fengxi a lesson one by one.
Beijing is the heart of China.
And the major families, factions, and alliances in the capital are the blood vessels in the heart.
Each root has a reason and value for its existence.
So for so many years in the capital, it has not been said that any family has been completely eliminated, at most it has been extracted by someone. Being completely eliminated will only happen outside the capital.
Although the military and the government are not separated, the factions in the military and political circles are completely different things, and both sides maintain a defensive mentality against each other.
Chen Fengxi's current position is in between the two.
It is the powerful figures of the army who support him, but it is the people in the officialdom who directly manage him, so Chen Fengxi's road will not be so smooth.
Han Sheng is different, it was originally the people in this officialdom who supported him, so he was able to rise to the top.
If it is an ordinary official who has a relationship with someone in the imperial circle, it is definitely a phoenix flying on the branches.
But if Chen Fengxi is involved with the people in the imperial circle, his already delicate identity will become even more subtle.
Shen Bao is one of the few people in the country who can eat all the three worlds of military, politics and business, and until now, no one has been able to find out how deep this Shen Bao's water is, but one thing is certain, that is, there is a big mountain behind this guy, and this big mountain is not a person, but a group!
But as the saying goes, people go to tea and cool.
The mountain behind Shen Bao is like a pyramid, if a brick of the tower is broken one day, then he will die without a place to be buried when he stands under the tower, which is why Shen Bao will pick and choose now, he hopes that after the mountain behind him falls in the future, there will be other mountains that can support him, or rather, but he will find a way to repair the pyramid by himself.
Thirty years in the east of the river, thirty years in the west of the river.
Shen Bao has been majestic in the capital and even in the country for so many years, I am afraid that he himself can't remember this offended person, now he has not lost power, everyone is still smiling, but if he loses power, then what these people will do is not just as simple as falling into the well. And once that time comes, Chen Fengxi, who has been close to Shen Bao, will definitely be reduced to a funeral.
After listening to Chu Qiuting's narration, Chen Fengxi was scared into a cold sweat.
He also understands this kind of reasoning, but he didn't expect that a character of Shen Bao's level would inevitably come to such a play, if even a person like him would have an accident, it would be useless to rely on anyone!
"Do you know why I'm suing you for this?"
Chen Fengxi didn't rush to answer, because it could be seen from Chu Qiuting's eyes that she was not warning Chen Fengxi.
Chu Qiuting said expressionlessly: "I want you to know that you can rely on others to enter the room, but whether you can sit down or not depends on your own ability." It's still the same old saying, you have to be hard to strike iron, if you don't make yourself hard, it's useless for anyone to help you, because this is the reality! β
Chen Fengxi nodded lightly and asked tentatively, "Auntie, what do you mean...... Should I develop myself? β
Chu Qiuting shook her head with a smile: "It's completely about playing the piano to the cow, I really don't know what Nanzhi has taken a fancy to you." β
"Uh......" Chen Fengxi scratched his head in embarrassment, Chen Fengxi, who was originally confused about what was going on here, was even more confused by Chu Qiuting's words.
Chu Qiuting said earnestly: "Now you are not suitable to stay in the capital, what you need now is to learn things, not to find contacts." Since you promised to help Shen Bao this time, then help him and let him owe you a favor. But in the future, you have to be a down-to-earth person. It's a good thing to have a relationship. But if the relationship is too mixed, it can be a problem. This is also the reason why people in officialdom are particularly cautious about making friends, and most people would rather choose not to make friends when they can't figure out the situation and don't know the bottom line. β
"Auntie, I don't understand, I don't question what you mean, I just can't figure it out, Aunt Shao and Director Leng both told me to make more friends, why do you want me to make fewer friends?" Chen Fengxi doesn't know who to listen to, although the Li family has a big business, but Leng Yi is not a vegetarian, and Leng Yi is a person in the officialdom, Chu Qiuting is just a woman, this Chen Fengxi is really not sure who to listen to.
Chu Qiuting said without thinking: "You have to listen to everything, and you can't listen to it all." What we say on both sides is what suits us. In other words, whether I said it or Leng Yi said it, it was all from our point of view. And you're different, you're not at our level at all, so it's useless for us to talk to you about that. If you are an ordinary person, if you want to hear these words, you must at least be after the age of forty-five. You heard it at your age, and it was all because of your luck. But when luck runs out, you are still young, and you should do things in a down-to-earth manner, instead of thinking about how to pave the way for your future. Thinking too much will only be a nuisance. β
Chen Fengxi nodded suddenly in realization: "I understand, I'm not on the same level as you at all now." So, I just need to memorize what you say, and I don't have to do it exactly. β
Chu Qiuting said quietly: "I finally understand." It's good to understand, and if you understand, I'm not in vain. There has been something at home in the past two days, and Nanzhi may not be able to get out. When you're done with Shen Bao tonight, you can go back. Anyway, now that the Internet is so developed, you can help him bet anywhere. β
"Auntie, can I ask what's going on?" Chen Fengxi asked tentatively.
Chu Qiuting said calmly: "The old man is unwell and has been admitted to a nursing home, and Nanzhi is accompanying him. Just put your heart in your stomach, no one will snatch Nanzhi with you, even if someone wants to, they can't snatch it. I know this girl's temperament too well, and no one can stop her from doing what she wants to do! β
Chen Fengxi frowned and said, "Unwell? Is it strict? Need my help? β
Chu Qiuting said worriedly: "I know that you are a doctor, but when you reach your age, even if Hua Tuo is reincarnated, it is useless." As soon as the old man leaves, the Li family is afraid that they will start to suffer, which is why I want to find a good family for Nanzhi, but she just takes a fancy to you who cross the river by the mud bodhisattva, and she can only resign herself to fate. β
Chen Fengxi hesitated for a moment, and said tentatively: "Auntie, can you take me to see Elder Li?" How can I help? β
