Chapter 216: Rich People Are Full of Courage
"I really didn't expect that Mr. Lin would come over to congratulate me personally."
Although Li Quanwang is dull, he still finds it incredible when he thinks of Lin Shuyi's identity.
When he was in Hong Kong, he met Lin Shuyi and knew her identity.
Li Quanwang always felt that he was not of the same kind as this favored girl who would easily spend hundreds of millions of dollars on projects.
However, Lu Yiming knew that the reason why Lin Shuyi came to congratulate him today was not because of Li Quanwang's family, but to show him.
That’s why Lu Yiming said that “golden saying” from The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.
Lu Yiming smiled and looked at Li Quanwang: "With her appearance this time, your family is safe in the Blue Sea Dragon Court."
Li Quanwang, who didn't understand the secret of networking, was confused at this moment: "What do you mean?"
Lu Yiming patiently explained the mystery to him: "What is this Bi Hai Long Ting? It is one of the most upscale residential areas in Baiyun City and even in Guangdong Province. It is well-known. Anyone who can buy a house in this community, no matter how big or small, is of status. What do you think you are? You are a pure nouveau riche."
Li Quanwang thought for a moment and said, "It seems to be true."
Lu Yiming continued, "So, they naturally look down on you. People in the community think you are bumpkins. When you take a walk in the community, people will look at you strangely. Can you bear it?"
Li Quanwang said without hesitation: "I can't stand it."
"So."
Lu Yiming smiled and said, "Lin Shuyi is very smart. She anticipated that something like this might happen, so she came over to show her face to you and to show it to other residents . In this Bi Hai Long Ting community, who will dare to look down on you in the future? So what if you are a nouveau riche? I don't know how many people will be jealous of the nouveau riche who can get close to Lin Shuyi."
Li Quanwang quickly said, "Then I am doing this thanks to you."
In fact, rich people are not necessarily so stupid. Even if they look down on Li Quanwang's family in their hearts, they will not show it on their faces and offend others for no reason.
But the real world is so illogical that you can never predict how big a trouble some fools can cause you because of a little friction.
That's why Lin Shuyi came out early to calm the situation and reduce the probability of someone causing trouble.
I have to say, she really did mean it.
Just as the two were chatting, a noisy voice suddenly came from outside.
"Move aside, move aside. I am a relative of this resident..."
Everyone looked towards the source of the sound and saw Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong walking in arrogantly with a tightly tied brown paper bag in their hands, like a domineering crab.
Squeezing into the crowd, Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong saw the magnificent villa in front of them. They couldn't help but have a coveted expression on their faces and their eyes lit up.
Huang Dongheng was so excited that he tightly grasped Tian Jiahong's hand, trying not to scream out loud. Then he said with great jealousy, "This house is so grand."
Tian Jiahong was also shocked, his mouth was wide open, and he couldn't utter a word for a long time.
Compared with this villa, the house allocated by the unit is simply a doghouse.
Then, the couple saw an octagonal pavilion-shaped pet kennel next to the garage, and they became even more indignant: "It's not even as good as a dog kennel!"
"Don't say that nonsense. You must ask for money later. We also want to live in a villa!"
Huang Dongheng looked hesitant and said, "I can lend you the money, but not today, right? After all, today is a big day."
Tian Jiahong immediately scolded, "You know nothing! You have to borrow money today. So many relatives are here, including my parents. Do you think they dare to refuse you when you ask them to borrow money to start a business? Look at it yourself. Compared with this big villa, what is your dignity and face worth?"
"good."
After the two of them agreed, they went forward together to congratulate.
Huang Dongheng smiled widely and said loudly, "Sister and brother-in-law, congratulations."
When Li Quanwang saw the two people coming, his face was full of disgust. Li Changjian said with a fake smile: "You came quite early."
Although Huang Jijiao still had some reservations, she still went up to greet them warmly: "You guys are here? Come in and sit down."
Tian Jiahong looked carefully from top to bottom, left to right, and then said casually, "You spent a lot of money on this new house, didn't you?"
Li Quanwang snorted, then replied proudly: "It's not expensive, only about five or six million."
"ah?"
Tian Jiahong was frightened out of her wits.
This is not an act.
But I was really scared.
She expected the house to be expensive, but she didn't expect it to be so expensive.
Five or six million.
Even if she and Huang Dongheng worked for ten lifetimes, they would not be able to afford the villa in front of them.
Seeing Tian Jiahong's reaction, Li Quanwang felt even more proud.
Huh, so what if I’m a college student?
So what if I eat public food?
Still can’t afford a villa?
What's there to be arrogant about?
Huang Dongheng was also very moved.
Then he made up his mind.
Compared with six million, face and dignity are really nothing.
When Huang Jijiao saw Li Quanwang directly rebuking her, she quickly started to reprimand Li Quanwang, but she was very happy in her heart.
Some things are difficult to say out loud from her perspective, but it is different for Li Quanwang.
No matter what, Li Quanwang is still Huang Dongheng's nephew. There is a generation difference between them. Besides, he is still a student. The worst that can happen is that he can just say "he is still a child". There is no need to tear the relationship apart.
Li Changjian counted the number of people and then said to Huang Jijiao, "All the guests are here. Move the food in and turn on the fire to cook the dumplings."
"good."
This is the last step of moving into a new house. After all the guests have arrived, the male host will move all the rice, brooms and other things placed outside into the house. He will also carry the burning brazier and walk around the house inside and out.
This last step also truly reflects the origin of the name "Jinhuo".
After the ceremony, Huang Jijiao invited the neighbors next door to come in and sit down, but many of them went back to get their gifts.
Fortunately, the living room is big enough to accommodate dozens of people without any problem.
Li Changjian and Li Quanwang greeted the guests while Huang Jijiao went to the kitchen to cook dumplings.
In the living room, everyone's topic of conversation naturally revolved around the villa in front of them. Li Quanwang took his relatives around and around. Amid everyone's exclamations, Li Quanwang's vanity was strongly satisfied.
Back in the living room, the expressions of these relatives looking at Li Quanwang's family changed from disdain and contempt to flattery.
"Wangzai has really made it big. He lives in such a big villa at such a young age."
"That's great! Your family has finally come to a happy life after all the hardships they have endured. Now that you live in such a nice house, I'm sure you'll have sweet dreams every night."
"Your family is the most promising one in our Huang family. From now on, I can go out and brag to others that my relatives live in a big villa."
Bai Sirong rarely smiled at his son-in-law and praised him, "Little Li, I thought you were a very good person back then. You are honest and down-to-earth. You will definitely have a promising future. My vision is indeed correct. Look, you are living in a big villa now, aren't you?"
Li Changjian was serving tea and water nearby, but he completely ignored her and was too lazy to even respond.
Wasn’t the person who was most opposed to Huang Jijiao marrying him the old woman in front of him?
If it weren't for his wife, he would have turned against her.
Bai Sirong was not annoyed, and continued to smile: "In the future, our Huang family will be prosperous. Look at my grandson, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, he is obviously a talent. In the future, he will make a lot of money to honor me, his grandmother."
Li Quanwang directly pulled Lu Yiming, and the two of them went to the door to eat snacks and crack melon seeds.
Li Quanwang said with a depressed look on his face: "Why are they all like this?"
Lu Yiming disagreed: "What?"
Li Quanwang pointed towards the room, his tone quite unhappy: "That's it. How did they treat our family before? Don't they know what's going on? Now they all start to say good things about our family. Bah, hypocrisy!"
Lu Yiming laughed and patted his shoulder: "You'll get used to it, didn't it say in Zou Ji's Advice to the King of Qi? My wife praises me because she loves me; my concubine praises me because she fears me; my guests praise me because they want something from me. Before, your family had no money, so naturally everyone despised and belittled you. Now that your family is rich, everyone starts to compliment you. What's the point of face? People who care about face usually end up in poverty all their lives."
"So when you were worried about not being able to find a girlfriend, I told you that as long as a man has money, there is no such thing as being single. Look at the faces of these people. In this era, not having money is a sin. Now that you have money, you are everyone's boss and you don't have to care about anyone's face. Even if you scold them or hit them, they will just smile and tell you to try harder."
Li Quanwang agreed: "Indeed, well, I will focus on making money from now on!"
At this moment, Bai Sirong's voice came from inside the room: "Wangzai, come in."
Li Quanwang let out a long sigh, threw away the melon seed shells, walked into the house, and asked expressionlessly, "What are you doing?"
Bai Sirong relied on her status as a grandmother and looked down on Li Quanwang with the attitude of an elder, and said to him, "Wangzi, your fourth uncle also wants to open an Internet cafe. Give them two million as capital."
When Li Quanwang heard this, his face suddenly darkened and he said decisively, "No."
Tian Jiahong was immediately unhappy. She thought that if Bai Sirong asked, Li Quanwang would definitely give her the money, but she didn't expect that Li Quanwang would refuse without hesitation.
She was originally a shrew, and now she dreamed of living in a big villa. She could not control her temper and shouted loudly: "You are so rich, why don't you lend it to us? You can spend six million to buy a villa, why can't you lend us two million? You are rich now, so you should bring us along to achieve common prosperity."
Li Quanwang sneered and glanced at Tian Jiahong: "Why should I lend it to you just because I have money? Is it because you are shameless?"
Tian Jiahong has a round face, and what she hates most is people saying that she has a big face.
Now Li Quanwang said that she had a round face in front of all her relatives and friends. She was so angry that her facial features were distorted and she screamed: "Li Changjian, look at the good son you gave birth to!"
Li Changjian was eating melon seeds and watching the show. Instead of scolding, he seemed to be gloating: "I saw it. My good son just bought me a big villa. If you are envious, you can ask your son to buy it for you. Oh, by the way, it's a pity that you have given birth to a daughter now."
The father and son, Li Quanwang and Li Changjian, were talking back and forth, and their words were simply poking directly into the lungs of Tian Jiahong and his wife.
If before, Li Changjian and Li Quanwang dared to say such things in front of Bai Sirong, they would definitely be criticized by the whole family, and it is not impossible that they would even be beaten.
But today, after seeing the strong financial resources of Li Changjian's family, everyone wanted to get some money from Li Changjian, and no one was willing to offend Li Changjian's family just to help Huang Dongheng.
Seeing that no one spoke, Tian Jiahong rolled her eyes and finally found Bai Sirong's head.
"Mom, look at them, what are they saying! Are we still a loving family? They say blood is thicker than water, shouldn't family members help each other?"
At this time, the disadvantages of Tian Jiahong giving birth to a daughter became apparent.
Although Bai Sirong was very unhappy that Li Quanwang did not listen to her, she was unwilling to help Tian Jiahong anymore.
And she also realized that Li Changjian was now very wealthy and powerful, and even Li Quanwang didn't take her, his grandmother, seriously.
Although she was very unhappy, she no longer dared to boss Li Quanwang's family of three around. Instead, she said to Tian Jiahong, "You should think of a way to get a second child and give birth to a big fat boy for our Huang family."
Seeing that everyone was on Li Changjian's side, Tian Jiahong was so angry that her lungs were about to explode.
She knew that she would definitely not be able to borrow the money today. There was no point in staying here any longer. She might even be ridiculed by others. She immediately kicked Huang Dongheng on the calf and said loudly, "Let's go home. You are noble and great. I can't reach you. OK?"
Watching the two leave, no one tried to stop them. Instead, Bai Sirong said to Li Changjian gently , "Changjian, Xiaohong is just like that. Don't take it to heart. No matter what, we are still relatives."
Seeing Huang Dongheng and Tian Jiahong leave in a rage, Li Quanwang felt very happy, as he finally got rid of his anger. However, he was still a little nervous and asked Lu Yiming in a low voice, "Is it not good for me to do this?"
Lu Yiming said carelessly: "What's wrong with this? The money is yours, and it's your freedom to spend it as you wish. Why should others tell you what to do? Moreover, how can you repay kindness with kindness? If others bully and humiliate you, do you really want to forget the grudges with a smile? You are a human being, not a cheap bone."
