, the values ​​​​are also different. Various differences turn people into different classes and belong to different circles. It is difficult to become close friends across classes, because there are too many differences and it is difficult for both parties to understand each other.

If you find your own shadow in your body, you won't be able to resonate with each other, and naturally you won't be able to become good friends.

Zeng Chunan, who was both born in the market, and Jin Huilan have more in common. Their relationship even goes beyond the relationship between men and women. They can see their own helplessness and bitterness in each other, and they feel the same way about each other's experiences.

It is an indescribable tacit understanding from the soul. This kind of tacit understanding cannot be replaced by Mu Qingluo, or even cultivated.

This is also the reason why Mu Qingluo is always jealous. She loves Zeng Chunan so much that she can sacrifice everything for her, but no matter how hard she tries, she can never completely eliminate the invisible distance between her and Zeng Chunan.

There was no such distance between them, but there was no such distance between Zeng Chunan and Jin Huilan. This gave her a sense of crisis. She even had the illusion that the relationship between her and Zeng Chunan was not as deep as the relationship between Zeng Chunan and Jin Huilan, so she

She is sensitive and jealous, but in fact it is just an illusion of hers. The relationship between Jin Huilan and Zeng Chunan is not deeper than the relationship between her and Zeng Chunan. That kind of relationship is more like a kind of mutual compassion for the same people who have fallen from the world.

Because they all come from humble backgrounds, they have all put in unimaginable hardship and even humiliation for the seemingly glamorous life they have today.

Zeng Chunan listened to the social chatter between Mu Qingluo and Jin Huilan, and felt uncomfortable being caught between them. He had an urge to escape. Fortunately, someone came over and took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Hello, Manager Yuan, nice to meet you." Zeng Chunan politely extended his hand to the little old man walking towards him.

"Hello, Mr. Zeng, I didn't expect you to know me?" The other party seemed a little surprised. This man named Yuan is the CEO of a passenger transportation company in Quanzhou. He controls most of the taxi operations in the state.

, can be regarded as a character.

He was not from the world of martial arts, nor was he a top-notch rich man, so he thought Zeng Chunan didn't recognize him, but he didn't expect that Zeng Chunan recognized him at a glance, which surprised him.

"If you want to hang out in Quanzhou, how can you hang around if you don't even know Mr. Yuan?" Zeng Chunan said with a smile.

Of course, these words were intended to flatter the person named Yuan. In fact, Zeng Chunan really didn’t know this person before today. But before he came to attend this dinner, he studied all the information on entrepreneurs across the state and remembered them.

Physical appearance and physical characteristics, so that he can call the names of these people here at once.

Of course, Zeng Chunan had his own purpose in doing this. He was a new recruit at such a charity dinner, and he didn't know many of the people who came to attend. But he is now in the limelight. He doesn't know them, but if they know him, he can't recognize anyone.

, if he doesn’t say hello to others, then these grandchildren will definitely unite to ignore him. At a dinner party in Nuo Da, if no one talks to him, and he only talks to Mu Qingluo, it will be very embarrassing, and it will also appear that

He is not gregarious, so he has to do his homework and try to remember all the famous figures in the business circles of the state so that he can recognize these celebrities.

Such preparations were obviously necessary, and Zeng Chunan soon became the focus of the dinner party. On the one hand, he seemed to know everyone, and on the other hand, because he was the youngest and most handsome among these wealthy people. Of course,

Also because of his other special identity, that is, the head of the Nanqing Society.

Although these local tycoons are not people in the world, they know how powerful people in the world are. There are many things that cannot be done by conventional means, but people in the world can do it easily. Therefore, on the surface, they despise and disdain Zeng Chunan's status as the eldest brother of the world.

, but they did not dare to offend Zeng Chunan in their hearts. They all knew very well the consequences of offending the underworld. Their fear of Zeng Chunan could be seen from the stiffness of their smiles.

But when another character appeared, Zeng Chunan was no longer the focus.

This is an old man. He is not too old to be called an old man. He looks like he is in his fifties. His hair is silver and is carefully slicked back. This makes him look very energetic. He is also very well-dressed in suits and leather shoes.

He is neat and tidy, and you can tell he is a big shot at a glance.

Zeng Chunan recalled the information on entrepreneurs he had studied before. It seemed that there was no such a number one figure. He didn't know this old man, but he seemed to have seen him somewhere. He had some vague impressions, but he couldn't remember it.

However, many people present seemed to know this old man, and everyone stood up and applauded.

"Qingluo, who is this person? Why don't I recognize him? What is his background?" Zeng Chunan asked Mu Qingluo softly.

"I don't know them either. I rarely attend such gatherings, so many people don't know them. My dad used to come to such gatherings," Mu Qingluo said softly.

Zeng Chunan nodded. Mu Qingluo was right. She used to be an indifferent young lady. It had been less than a year since she took over the Jinxin Group. Her familiarity with this circle was no better than Zeng Chunan's.

Where to go.

"Looks like he is a big shot, so many people welcome him." Zeng Chunan said.

"Maybe, if it's a big shot, the organizer will definitely arrange for him to give a speech, and you'll know what it's about soon," Mu Qingluo said.

"Yes." Zeng Chunan nodded, and politely clapped with others to welcome this unknown old man.

Jin Huilan came over at this time, touched Zeng Chunan, and whispered: "Chun Nan, don't be impulsive. There are many big guys here today, so you can't be impulsive."

"Huh? Why should I be impulsive?" Zeng Chunan was puzzled.

Jin Huilan turned her head and motioned Zeng Chunan to look in the direction she was looking. Sure enough, Zeng Chunan was a little impulsive at that second. He saw a thin man in a gray suit who was about to take a seat. The man was burned to ashes. Zeng Chunan also remembered that he was that Duo

The first time he sent people to kill Zeng Chunan’s good brother Wu Dijian, who is now the CEO of Changhe Industrial Wu Wanlu.

This mysterious Wu Wanlu has always kept a low profile and never appeared. Unexpectedly, he appeared today. Zeng Chunan was indeed a little impulsive, but he held it back.

"I'm fine, I will control myself, thank you for reminding me." Zeng Chunan said with a smile.

"Okay, I know you can control yourself." Jin Huilan also nodded to Zeng Chunan, her eyes full of concern.

"What did Miss Jin say to you?" Mu Qingluo asked curiously.

"You see that man in a gray suit and glasses over there, the thin one? He is Wu Wanlu, also known as Wu Dijian, the good brother who wanted my life many times." Zeng Chunan said.

"So it's him. Miss Jin wants you to stay calm, right?" Mu Qingluo said.

"Yes." Zeng Chunan said.

"Miss Jin is so attentive. When she saw Wu Wanlu, she immediately ran over to remind you that she really cares about you," Mu Qingluo said.

"Don't get me wrong, Qingluo..."

"It's okay, I'm not jealous. I'm serious. Although I love you, I can't stop others from caring about and appreciating you. I'm not that selfish." Mu Qingluo smiled.

"Well, the dinner is about to begin. Let's take a look at what will happen today." Zeng Chunan said.

"Ladies and gentlemen, good evening, everyone. Welcome to attend this charity dinner organized by the Quanzhou Entrepreneurs Association. Charity is a lamp, which may not illuminate the whole universe, but it can warm a part of the world that needs our care.

and help people. Those who are here today are all successful entrepreneurs and celebrities. They are the elite in the state, and they are also the most kind-hearted people in the state. Thank you for coming, and I hope you will actively participate.

We will hold a charity sale soon, and all the proceeds from today will be entrusted to the Green Cross to be donated to children in impoverished mountainous areas to improve their living and learning conditions.

When Zeng Chunan heard about the Green Cross Society, he felt disgusted in his heart. He thought of Guo Lin's words about the Green Cross Society that sounded extreme but actually made sense. He thought to himself that he didn't know what would be auctioned today. He had done his homework before.

At that time, he only remembered the names of the people, but he completely forgot the description of the auction.

"...Now, I would like to ask Minister Liu, who came here specially today, to say a few words for us. Everyone is welcome."

Zeng Chunan didn't pay attention to the previous sentence, but Zeng Chunan listened to the last sentence because he heard a key word: Minister Liu.

Zeng Chunan's mind flashed back to the Audi car with a license plate that ended in '8' when he was chasing someone on the street a while ago, and then thought of what Shu Yuejin said. Shu Yuejin said that the Audi car was a retired person from above.

Minister Liu who came back was using it, and he also said that he was an amazing person who no one could offend.

Could it be that the silver-haired old man walking on stage now is the legendary untouchable Minister Liu?

If you consider the importance the old man received when he entered the scene before, then it is consistent that he is Minister Liu. A political boss who has stepped down from the top, even if he has stepped down, his influence will naturally be huge. No wonder Quanzhou

These rich people applauded and welcomed us like grandsons.

The silver-haired old man nodded to everyone and began to speak.

"Today is a charity dinner organized by the Entrepreneurs Association. Logically speaking, I am not an entrepreneur. It is a bit inappropriate to appear here. However, I still shamelessly came in. I am very happy to see so many capable entrepreneurs working together for charity.

Come together, this shows that the society we live in is still harmonious, and entrepreneurs still have a strong sense of social responsibility. You get rich first, use part of your wealth to give back to the society, and you will start from a profit-seeking enterprise.

My family has become a philanthropist with noble sentiments. If all entrepreneurs can be like you, then this society will become better and better..."

The silver-haired old man's speech was very official, but his words were clear and coherent. You could tell at a glance that he was not an ordinary person. He came out with big and empty theories casually, and he could still talk about it as if it was really the case. He was indeed a master of public speaking.

.

The old man's speech lasted for five or six minutes, and finally he walked off the stage amidst warm applause from everyone.

Next, the charity sale began. The first auction item was a calligraphy and painting by a certain calligrapher in Quanzhou. There was a big word "forbearance" written on it. Zeng Chunan didn't know calligraphy. From his amateur point of view, the word "forbearance" was written on it.

It's very beautiful, at least much more beautiful than what he wrote himself.

After several rounds of bidding, this calligraphy and painting was finally sold for 30,000 yuan. The price is not high, but it is not low either. The calligrapher is famous in Quanzhou, but only in Quanzhou, so he is not a big name.

, his works can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan, which is considered good.

The auctions continued, but Zeng Chunan never made a move. He knew that the highlight usually came later, and he was waiting for Wu Wanlu to make a move.

Wu Wanlu appeared at this charity fair uncharacteristically. Zeng Chunan felt that it was very unusual. He usually kept a low profile, but he suddenly appeared today. Zeng Chunan thought that he would definitely take a photo of something today, and it should be the most expensive one. He

The purpose of this should be to use this charity sale to reverse one's own image and eliminate the negative impact caused by fraudulent academic qualifications.

This is Zeng Chunan's own guess, but he has always been very confident in his guess. This Wu Wanlu usually does not show up, but suddenly appeared today. He must not be here for fun. If he takes a photo of something valuable today, the company

The association will definitely find a way to report this matter through the media, and even exaggerate it, so that Wu Wanlu's image will slowly improve.

If Wu Wanlu really thinks this way, then Zeng Chunan has to admit that this is indeed a good idea. Not responding positively to the matter of falsifying academic qualifications, but using other methods to eliminate those negative effects from the side, is indeed a clever move.

"It's your first time to attend such an event today. Can you take a few pictures and take them back to show your face?" Mu Qingluo said in a low voice.

"Don't worry, have you read the auction instructions? How many auction items are there in total?" Zeng Chunan asked.

"I don't remember, it seems like twelve pieces." Mu Qingluo said.

"I think Wu Wanlu's sudden appearance today must be an opportunity to reverse his decline and restore investors' confidence in him, so I will not let him succeed today," Zeng Chunan said.

"You mean you have to wait for him to take action before you take action?" Mu Qingluo said.

"That's right, I just want to suppress him. When I bid with him later, please take a video and post it online so that everyone in the state knows that I defeated Wu Wanlu." Zeng Chunan said.

"When did you become so vain?" Mu Qingluo was a little confused.

"This is not vanity, this is hype. Such a controversial incident will naturally arouse heated discussions. This is more effective than me spending money to advertise on the TV station for the Nanqing Group. On the one hand, this hype promotes that I, Zeng Chunan, am not a gangster, and on the other hand, I

It has once again had a negative impact on Wu Wanlu. Now Changhe's stock is in turmoil. Any disturbance will cause Changhe's stock price to fall again. Once the stock falls, it is too difficult to reverse it, so Wu Wanlu must not miss any blow now.
