24: Don’t bully the young just because they’re poor
24: Don’t bully the young just because they’re poor
“Let’s keep drinking!”
After Jiang Chen left, the atmosphere in the private room quickly recovered, yet there seemed to be a subtle difference from just a moment ago.
It was Liang Zhenlun’s birthday, and he wore a full smile on his face, but he looked like he was forcing it.
Choosing to hold the party at V Party was deliberate because he had found out that Jiang Chen used to work part-time here, so he communicated with the manager in advance.
The whole point was to take this opportunity to humiliate Jiang Chen in front of everyone!
Everything had gone according to Liang Zhenlun’s plan, and not a single expected spectator was missing, but somehow the final effect didn’t achieve the state he had envisioned.
Surely, it was Jiang Chen who had been embarrassed, but at this moment, Liang Zhenlun inexplicably felt a bit awkward and thought that everyone’s gaze toward him became somewhat strange.
“Gulp!”
He guzzled down a glass of champagne, feeling an internal irritation with no outlet, but on the surface, he still had to maintain a fake smile, and couldn’t help but give his girlfriend a dark glance.
But at this moment, Ai Qian was distracted, absent-minded, and seemed to be lost in thought.
“Jiang, you’ve worked hard today, you can go back early.”
Manager Chen found Jiang Chen just after he finished delivering a fruit plate to another private room, said this, and handed over a stack of banknotes.
By the thickness, it was probably about one or two thousand.
This was definitely more than what a part-time worker should earn.
“Manager Chen, what is this…”
“Just take it if I give it to you.”
Chen Kai forcefully stuffed the money into Jiang Chen’s hand and looked at him with sincere eyes.
“When I first came to East Sea, I was just like you, with nothing to my name, and it’s been step by step to get where I am today.
I might seem to be in a good place now, but back then, I was also looked down upon and ordered around all day, every kind of hardship you can think of, and those you can’t, I’ve been through them all.
So, don’t take it as a big deal if you face some humiliation.
Others may make life difficult for you, but never make it difficult for yourself.
Even Li Jiacheng has said, ‘earning money with your face isn’t shameful.’
Jiang Chen didn’t say a word.
“You don’t hate me, do you?”
Chen Kai asked.
“How could I.”
Jiang Chen smiled and intentionally weighed the stack of banknotes in his hand, “I should be thanking Manager Chen for the red envelope.”
“That’s the right way to think.”
Chen Kai laughed heartily, “I knew you were different from other young people nowadays; you’re destined to achieve great things.”
“Manager Chen, stop making fun of me.”
“This isn’t making fun of you, this is speaking from the heart.”
Chen Kai said with a smile, “I have always been good at judging people.
I may not be as educated as you, but I do understand one thing: ‘Better to deceive the old than to deceive the young and poor.’ Right?”
Jiang Chen gave a bitter smile and remained silent.
“Alright, go back to school then.
In the future, if you want to come back, V Party will always welcome you.”
Chen Kai was heartfelt.
“Thank you, Manager Chen.”
“Keep it up, don’t let me down.”
Before leaving, Chen Kai gave Jiang Chen a firm pat on the shoulder.
As he watched him walk away, Jiang Chen’s expression was calm, with truly no resentment, both on the surface and in his heart.
The world is just like this.
Even though Chen Kai had colluded with Liang Zhenlun to set him up, from Chen Kai’s perspective, there was no fault.
He was the manager of V Party and naturally had to prioritize the interests of V Party.
What was an ordinary part-timer, a so-called college student, worth?
Anyone else wouldn’t have bothered to give him a raise, let alone take such an issue to heart.
This society is a strictly hierarchical and cruel food chain.
If you’re living at the bottom, don’t complain that no one cares about your dignity.
Do humans consider the thoughts and fate of an ant?
“Earning one or two thousand for a single song, this gig isn’t bad.”
Jiang Chen, feeling fully justified, pocketed the stack of banknotes and went to the changing room to get dressed.
“We should get back, or else the dormitory will be locked.”
Knowing she wasn’t welcome here after helping Jiang Chen, Zheng Jingjing wanted to leave early.
“Let’s end it here for tonight then,”
said Liang Zhenlun, who was feeling gloomy and had lost interest in continuing the festivities, deciding to call it a night.
A bunch of people began to walk out.
“Zhen Lun, thanks for tonight, it must’ve been expensive.”
Someone teased on purpose.
“It’s nothing, just 140,000.”
Liang Zhenlun had a look of insouciance.
Zheng Jingjing almost threw up.
Was it necessary to specify the numbers so clearly?
Afraid that others wouldn’t know how much money you spent?
“Shu Rui, it looks like it’s raining outside, shall I take you all back?”
Liang Zhenlun made no attempt to hide his overt enthusiasm for Li Shuru, even completely disregarding the presence of his official girlfriend.
Many people cast strange glances at Ai Qian.
Ai Qian pretended nothing was amiss, but her attempt to appear natural resulted in a smile that was inevitably a bit stiff.
“No need, Shu Rui drove here.”
Zheng Jingjing reminded again.
It was only then that Liang Zhenlun remembered that when they arrived, Xu Siyi seemed to have mentioned it.
“Look at my memory.”
“Shu Rui, when did you buy a car?”
“Just a couple of days ago.”
“Why didn’t you tell me?
I know a lot of friends in the car business who could’ve gotten you a discount.”
“Shu Rui never cares about the price of things she likes.”
Zheng Jingjing declared dismissively and proudly.
Liang Zhenlun could hear the targeting in her words, but it wasn’t appropriate to make a scene, so he cursed silently: What a bunch of posers!
A group relying on men for a living!
And they think they’re on par with wealthy socialites!
“The rain is pouring down.”
As they reached the door, they discovered that it had started to rain cats and dogs outside, the whole world in chaos.
Fortunately, the parking lot was right at the entrance.
“Ha, Senior Jiang, leaving work this early today?”
Not far away.
There stood Jiang Chen, already in his own clothes, trapped under the eaves by the downpour.
Puddles formed on the ground.
Although he had an umbrella in hand, it was almost useless against the heavy rain.
Jiang Chen nodded in their direction.
At this time, Young Master Liang was too preoccupied to bother with him.
“I’m not going back to the school today; you take a cab back by yourself.”
Not just Ai Qian, even the others were taken aback for a moment.
Hadn’t they just heard Young Master Liang offering to take the devilishly curvy beauty back to East University?
Ai Qian’s face turned pale, her lips trembled, and after a long silence, she finally forced a faint, indescribable smile.
“Alright.”
“What a jerk!
Shu Rui, Si Yi, let’s go!”
Zheng Jingjing didn’t want to stay another second, grabbed an umbrella from security, and the three girls squeezed into the rain curtain.
“Holy shit!
A Panamera?!”
As they reached the parking lot, the headlights of a white Panamera lit up, dazzling many eyes through the thick curtain of rain.
Then, Li Shuru and the two other girls opened the car door and got in.
“Brother Liang, these chicks…
They’re so rich?”
Everyone was dumbfounded.
Even Liang Zhenlun himself was utterly baffled.
He thought that Li Shuru had just bought some ordinary commuter car, not knowing that it was actually a Panamera!
That was even more expensive than his second-hand Maserati!
No wonder she seemed so aloof around him.
Staring at that brand-new white Panamera, Liang Zhenlun clenched his teeth, his gaze sinister.
Damn bitch!
She must have hooked up with some rich guy!
“What are you all dazing for, get in the car and let’s go!”
He barked.
For Liang Zhenlun, this must have been the most “sad” birthday ever.
