Chapter 258: Circle
After returning to the box, after pushing open the door, everyone's eyes turned from surprise to weird, after all, the two normal people who just walked out came back and were dressed like dancing in the rain, and anyone would have some speculation about what these two guys did...
"The toilet hose has exploded, so I advise you not to go to the toilet." Chu Zihang said lightly.
"Shhhh Are you all right? ”
"Damn, don't catch a cold."
"Do you want tissues?"
"Waiter, two bowls of ginger soup!"
I have to say, some lies let Chu Zihang say, even if it is false, you have to believe that it is true, there are always some people in the world who are telling you nonsense, you look at his appearance and tone, even if the other party is outrageous, you have to believe it.
It is estimated that even if Chu Zihang said that someone was celebrating the Songkran Festival outside, he and Lin Nian had to believe it a little bit if they were unfortunately recruited by this group of people, as for why the Songkran Festival was celebrated today, it was purely because those people were stupid to remember the festival wrongly, and it did not affect the credibility of Chu Zihang's words.
Informal, yes.
Lin Nian added another point to Chu Zihang in his heart, he said that Chu Zihang's suitability to the executive department is really not a joke, he can independently track the trainees who have been trained by the Kassel Academy for four years, and this courage and carefulness alone is enough to meet the test of the KGB or the CIA.
The waiter came back with two bowls of ginger soup when he heard the news, and brought two dry towels, Lin Nian and Chu Zihang just wiped their hair casually and re-seated, it is worth mentioning that Su Xiaoqiao also came back after the two of them returned to their seats, probably because their emotions stopped, and they were stunned when they saw Lin Nian, and then their eyes swelled with three points of confusion, and seven points of emotion... probably thought that Lin Nian had lost control of his emotions and went out to get drenched in the rain because of what happened just now.
Su Xiaoqiao didn't say anything, sat down, sat down and sat next to Lin Nian with a normal expression, which is also in line with her mentality, ordinary girls would probably have cried and fled when they encountered this kind of thing, but Su Xiaoqiao is different, she has the courage to invite the girls in the class to KFC to publicly announce that Lin Shenren's mating rights belong to her, who robs her and beats whom, how can this kind of heart be bruised because of a failed confession?
Victory or defeat is a common thing in soldiers, and the heroine please start over.
After taking a sip of ginger soup, Lin Nian found that in fact, when he came back now, everyone had eaten about the same, and the amount of food was very sufficient, unlike the amount of fish fed in other Michelin restaurants, and every dish of the banquet that cost a lot of money was very hard, and just a suckling pig risotto could make people feel full, and the rest of the time was just to savor novel dishes and chat and eat.
Seeing that it was almost over, Lin Nian finally got to the point - he cut meat and fed the eagle today, oh no, it was the main topic of the banquet.
Lin Nian tapped the goblet with a silver spoon, and after everyone's eyes gathered, he spoke: "You are all classmates, and you all have great prospects in the future, but before that, I want to ask you for help. ”
"What's the rush? Brother Lin said, "If you can help, I'm absolutely fine here." "It seems that the banquet is indeed eating, drinking, and having fun, and the atmosphere is now completely stirred up, and everyone is having a good time and talking casually.
"Don't just borrow money... Haha, just kidding. ”
"It's not about money, I just want you to help me inquire about something." Lin Nian said, "Have you ever heard of a Jewish tycoon coming to the city recently? ”
The men and girls in front of the box were stunned for a moment, and everyone's brains took a few seconds to turn, because Lin Nian's words were so jumpy, they had to take time to think about what the word 'Jewish tycoon' meant.
"Jews? A Jew who knows how to do business, suffered from World War II, and is savvy? Zhao Menghua asked.
"Yes, you are not mistaken, this is what the Jews meant." Lin Nian nodded, "The meaning of tycoon is also the meaning of dignitaries and dignitaries as you understand it, not a homophone homonym." ”
Jewish tycoons?
The expressions on everyone's faces were strange, and no one could have imagined why the topic would jump to this, although the coastal cities have become more and more developed in recent years, and the local businesses have begun to do more and more, and the number of wealthy people has gradually increased, but compared to the really open coastal cities, there are still no large number of foreigner gathering places like City_Shop_, after all, the city's economy has not yet reached the level of a real provincial capital.
Jewish tycoons? Why would Lin Nian think they knew about a new local Jewish tycoon?
"You and him... Is there any communication? Zhao Menghua hesitated for a moment and considered the wording.
"It's to be prepared to socialize." Lin Nian said, "A large part of the reason for coming back this time is to look for him, a Jewish tycoon, it is said that he has been wandering around the city for the past six months, and a large part of the transactions are done in the local upper circles. ”
"I haven't heard any rumors of a Jewish tycoon coming to our side." Xu Yanyan and Xu Miaomiao glanced at each other, their family is engaged in clothing distribution, which can be regarded as a monopoly on the source of high-end clothing in the entire city, clothing is linked to fashion, and the upper class circle will always open its arms to this kind of people... After all, upper-class people also have to wear clothes, and they dress more elegantly than the average person.
... There is no doubt that the upper class circle is real in reality, and every stratum and every part of the population in society will involuntarily form a circle of larger or smaller, students have a circle of students, workers have a circle of workers, and the elite naturally has an elite circle.
These circles are real and existent, and have a certain degree of xenophobia, once the most common small circle between students is formed, four or five people, five or six people hold a small group, and the usual social activities are basketball, Internet cafes and restaurants, if the newcomer wants to squeeze into the circle, he will inevitably be xenophobic, unless he can have something in common with the people in the circle and be recognized after being tested.
Seeing the big from the small, rising from the circle of students to the upper circle, there is not enough capital, there is no hobby that reflects the taste and cultivation, and there is no precipitation of some cultural heritage and recognition, even if you are extraordinarily rich, it is difficult to really enter the upper circle, so the replacement of most of the fresh blood in the upper circle will always be borne by the descendants of one after another 'upper class' (upper class).
Hearing the topic of the circle, Lu Mingfei at the dinner table couldn't help but pick up a napkin and wipe his mouth, shrunk and didn't answer, his enthusiasm for helping Lin Nian was one of the best in the entire box, but now Lin Nian's request he stepped on the stool and stood on tiptoe and couldn't touch it, at this time he still spoke less so as not to disturb the train of thought of other capable people.
"What exactly does that Jewish tycoon do?" Zhao Menghua asked.
Lin Nian glanced at Zhao Menghua and said, "I don't know, the only information I know is that there is a small circle formed around the 'Jewish tycoon' in this city now, and this circle is hidden in the upper class... In fact, the upper class is just the top rich circle of the city, and it will look ridiculous and generous in a really big place. But at least in this city, the circles that this 'Jewish tycoon' has set foot in are the top and the most difficult to get into. It's a bit troublesome for me to come back alone and want to enter these circles, and I don't want to use too many resources and forces to disturb some people, so I just want to find you to find a way to see if I can find him. ”
Lin Nian's words have both positive and negative points, but there is no doubt that he admits that most of the student families here are qualified to blend in with the so-called upper class... But this sentence is also true, the playground of the luxury car show at Shilan Middle School on a rainy day is the most powerful proof of the strength of the student's family, and the uncle and aunt behind the decrepit boy sitting in the box are at least a family with a petty bourgeoisie who has touched the threshold of the middle class.
Now Lin Nian is using one of his few social circles in the city, he believes that many people are willing to sell him face after this meal, and the children with solid families will always think more complicated, but it is undeniable that they have already understood the truth of "selling face" and "collecting face" years in advance.
This meal was premeditated, just like Chu Zihang said, it is not suitable for Lin Nian to appear in front of people and return to his hometown, this kind of childish behavior will never appear in his dictionary, since he entered the executive department, his thinking has gradually begun to change, becoming calm, efficient, and businesslike.
Any of his motives are meaningful, any action is inevitable, a little indifferent to the dark, but the executive department is such a place, the so-called abyss, go down, it is destined to have a long future.
