Chapter 653: Uncomfortable
Lu Yiming didn't know what Li Caixia was thinking, and he didn't care.
Since we've asked everyone to come over for dinner, what's wrong with urging them?
Although Li Feng looks ordinary, his family is rich. In this era when not everyone can afford a bicycle, he has been driving a BMW on the streets every day. In addition, he has a bit of background, so in a place like Zhonghai, he has to be a little petty bourgeois and put on airs.
He especially looked down on upstarts like Lu Yiming, who had no manners at all.
This made him even more upset - why did such a country bumpkin have such a beautiful girlfriend?
Compared with Shi Qingxue, Li Caixia may not be much inferior in appearance, but in terms of figure and temperament, she is many levels behind.
Although Shi Qingxue's childhood was somewhat difficult to recall, she was still a third-generation rich woman. The environment she lived in was like that, and under the influence of her family, she had a good foundation. Now her living conditions have been improved. This is not something a girl from an ordinary family like Li Caixia can compare to.
In comparison, Shi Qingxue is so flawless. If one must describe her with words, it would be "pure and lustful" - one wants to be both cared for and conquered.
Li Feng's gaze towards Shi Qingxue was so simple and straightforward, without any disguise at all. Even though Shi Qingxue had her boyfriend standing next to her, he didn't care at all.
As for poaching, he is very familiar with it and it is not the first time he has done it.
As for Lu Yiming's identity as the richest man, he didn't even think about it.
Although many students at Fu Ri University knew that Shi Qingxue’s boyfriend was the richest man Lu Yiming, Li Feng was not a student at Fu Ri University, so of course he didn’t know this.
And he didn't even think that his girlfriend could invite the richest man in Xia country to attend the Hengri banquet.
Li Caixia felt that she had won the first round, after all, Li Feng was driving a BMW.
The goal had been initially achieved, and she was very happy. She smiled and said, "Student Lu Yiming, you may have to wait a while for dinner, as there are still a few guests who haven't arrived yet. If you really can't wait, you can go in and have some snacks first. We can still afford this little money, and we won't be stingy."
Even a deaf person can hear the sarcasm hidden in the words.
It's shameful that you bear the title of the richest man but act so stingy and selfishly.
This is what the great writer Li Ao said: You may be rich in pocket but not in mind.
She is as despicable as the old lady in his novel who raises chickens and ducks in her villa.
Of course Lu Yiming could hear it, but he acted as if he didn't hear it. He smiled and said, "That's great. You guys are so generous. I've fallen in love with you. Remember to treat me to dinner more often in the future."
“…”
Li Caixia was confused about the situation for a moment.
How can such a Ha Bao become the richest man in mainland China?
Are the others just eating for free?
Could it be that the legend is wrong?
After all, something like the Hurun Rich List has no official endorsement and is released by a commercial organization. Who knows whether it is true or false?
They even walked to eat.
As for living in a luxury house and cooperating with the school, Li Feng could do it easily. Therefore, Li Caixia had no idea how wealthy Lu Yiming was.
For Lu Yiming to become the richest man with his emotional intelligence and IQ is simply an insult to others.
At this moment, an Audi drove over.
This time, four people got out of the car.
Li Feng smiled and said to Li Caixia: "My friends are here, let's go in together."
Li Caixia said: "Okay."
Then, she said to Lu Yiming: "Student Lu Yiming, you are lucky. Everyone is here. Let's go in together."
Lu Yiming said as a matter of course: "That's great, I can finally eat."
Only then did those young people realize that Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue were also attending the banquet.
When they saw Shi Qingxue, they couldn't help but look stupid.
Shi Qingxue is so beautiful!
However, they only took one more look and then stopped looking, unlike Li Feng who was so unscrupulous.
Everyone entered the hotel and found a seat to sit down. Li Feng said to Li Caixia, "Caixia, today is your birthday. You can order the food."
Li Caixia said politely: "Please order and see what you want to eat."
Although today's meal was nominally Li Caixia's birthday party, Li Caixia knew that except for Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue, the others were either rich or noble, and were people she could not afford to offend. How could she dare to take the initiative to order food?
At this moment, Lu Yiming grabbed the menu and said without any humility: "Let me order, let me order."
When everyone saw this scene, they all showed surprised expressions.
There is no doubt that they are all well-known figures, and humility is the most basic etiquette, so Lu Yiming's behavior seems very abrupt.
The menu has two pages. The prices of the home-cooked dishes on the first page are acceptable considering the environment and level, but the high-end dishes on the second page are very expensive. A private room also charges a 10% service charge, so a meal here costs several thousand yuan, which is unaffordable for ordinary people.
Seeing Lu Yiming flipping directly to the back of the menu, Li Feng felt a little painful.
But in order to play the long game and catch the bigger fish, he didn't say anything. If Shi Qingxue could feel his generosity and look at him with new eyes, it would be worth it.
In Li Feng's opinion, a beauty like Shi Qingxue's level is worth it if he can get her for a few thousand dollars, it's not expensive!
Lu Yiming's behavior and language were totally inconsistent with his status as the richest man. Zhonghai was a place that valued status, especially for Zhonghai locals. Therefore, Li Haixia looked down on Lu Yiming even more.
The identity of the richest man has been infinitely weakened.
"Hey, what kind of crabs are there? They're only 500 yuan a pound, and each weighs only about 5 or 6 pounds. How about everyone get one first?"
"Everyone should have a portion of braised sea cucumber with scallions."
"What is this? I don't know this word. If there are 399 copies, then everyone should get one."
"Where's the wine? What kind of wine? Otherwise, don't bother with the fancy stuff. Just have a box of Moutai first, and then more if it's not enough."
Lu Yiming ordered several dishes in succession, then he put down the menu sensibly and said, "What else do you want to eat? Just order whatever you want, don't be polite to me."
Everyone looked at Lu Yiming with strange eyes. It was obvious that they could not imagine why such a vulgar young man would appear at the banquet today.
"Caixia, is this your friend?"
When Li Caixia heard this question, she suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
She originally wanted to give Shi Qingxue a little shock today and show off in front of Shi Qingxue, but she never expected that Lu Yiming, the legendary richest man, would be so crude and ugly, which made her embarrassed in front of Li Feng's friends.
After all, birds of a feather flock together. Others didn't know that Li Caixia invited Lu Yiming and Shi Qingxue over to intimidate them, so in their eyes, Li Caixia's making friends with such people invisibly lowered her style.
Li Caixia blushed and said, "This girl is my classmate Shi Qingxue, and this guy is her boyfriend."
Li Feng said to Lu Yiming proudly, "This is Master Xu Tengyu, the president of the Student Union of our Jiaotong University. Not only that, Master Xu has a distinguished family background, many talented people in his family, and he has strong connections in both the political and business circles."
When Xu Tengyu was introduced by Li Feng, he sat up straight involuntarily, exuding a sense of superiority. Although he did not show it deliberately, Lu Yiming still saw it.
This kind of second-generation rich people were born with a silver spoon in their mouths, and have been exposed to power and wealth that ordinary people are not qualified to touch in their lifetime. They can decide the fate of many people with just one sentence, so naturally they don't take ordinary people outside the circle seriously.
Even without any ill intention, when you look at people, your eyes are as if you are looking at leeks.
Lu Yiming's behavior just now was like a country bumpkin who had just walked into the city from the countryside. I guess no one would associate him with the richest man in Xia Country.
Therefore, Xu Tengyu didn't take Lu Yiming seriously at all, and even felt indignant that he had a girlfriend as beautiful as Shi Qingxue.
How come this country bumpkin has such a beautiful girlfriend?
It's so unfair.
Xu Tengyu came here today just to give Li Feng face. After all, they are all people in the circle of wealthy people, and they will see each other every day.
Seeing Li Feng complimenting him, he also casually praised: "I'm still not as good as you, finding such a beautiful girlfriend."
Having said that, as the Xu family is a wealthy family in Zhonghai, Xu Tengyu has never been short of beauties around him. He has long been tired of girls of Li Haixia's level.
Only a beautiful woman like Shi Qingxue, who is fresh and refined, looks extremely pure and has an extraordinary temperament, can make him feel a little moved.
Xu Tengyu said: "Li Haixia, your classmate is not bad looking."
He looked at Shi Qingxue, but felt that the boyfriend next to Shi Qingxue looked familiar, and immediately exclaimed.
Li Feng smiled and said, "Why? Mr. Xu, are you interested in me? But it's a pity that I'm already taken. Didn't you see that my boyfriend is sitting next to me?"
"This beautiful girl's boyfriend looks a little familiar..."
Li Feng said with disdain, "Maybe his family is a little rich, but he's already a sophomore and hasn't been able to enter our circle yet, so I guess his background isn't that great."
Then he smiled and asked, "How about it? If you really like it, I can help you."
Xu Tengyu said calmly: "Farewell, I am not you. There is no point in stealing someone's love."
At the hotel entrance, Li Feng heard Li Haixia mention Lu Yiming's name, but there were at least 80,000 people named Lu Yiming in the world, and he never thought that Li Haixia could be friends with the richest man.
Now Li Haixia was embarrassed by Lu Yiming and did not mention Lu Yiming's name, so although Xu Tengyu was confused, he did not remember it for a while. If Li Haixia said Lu Yiming's name, he would definitely remember it immediately.
The more Xu Tengyu looked at Lu Yiming, the more familiar he felt, as if he had seen him somewhere before. However, young masters like them, who spend their days in debauchery and having fun, how could they remember when they had met someone?
Just at this moment, another group of people walked into the hotel.
Leading the group was Wang Hongsheng, president of Fu Ri University, and next to him was Xu Wentao.
Li Feng happened to see this scene, and he immediately recognized Xu Wentao, and whispered: "Fuck, Secretary Xu!"
As people in the circle, they have to deal with a lot of things, not to mention that this is also the person that the Li family needs to curry favor with.
Xu Tengyu also saw the two of them and immediately greeted them, "Fourth Uncle, why are you here?"
Xu Wentao looked up and saw Xu Tengyu, and said with a smile: "I just came here today to discuss something with Principal Wang, and when we arrived at the hotel, we came out to have a working lunch together. Why did you come here to eat?"
Xu Tengyu said: "Look, my brother's girlfriend has her birthday today, and he invited a few brothers to come and show their support."
Xu Wentao said, "Well, then you guys eat . Young people should drink less."
He came here this time to discuss cooperation on Yixun Encyclopedia with Wang Hongsheng, but he had no time to take care of young people's affairs. He casually gave some instructions and planned to leave.
As a result, Lu Yiming, who was originally sitting with his back to Xu Wentao's sight, happened to lean sideways to pick up some peanuts for Shi Qingxue, and Xu Wentao saw his profile.
Xu Wentao hurried over and greeted him, "Mr. Lu?"
Lu Yiming had heard the conversation between several people early in the morning, but he had no intention of taking the initiative to say hello. Now that Xu Wentao recognized him, he had no choice but to turn around and say, "Hello, Secretary Xu, long time no see."
Xu Wentao said enthusiastically: "Look at my eyes. I didn't see Mr. Lu at first. It seems that I have to get a pair of reading glasses. I just want to talk to you more. Why don't you come to our table?"
Lu Yiming smiled slightly and said, "You guys are talking about things, I won't interfere."
"Okay, I'll talk to Mr. Lu another day. I'll be over first."
"Well, go ahead."
Seeing this scene, Xu Wenyu, Li Feng and others were almost frightened to pee their pants.
Who is Xu Wentao? He is a powerful figure in Zhonghai!
In the entire Zhonghai, the number of people who can make him kowtow and bow down can be counted on one hand!
But now, he was so enthusiastic towards Shi Qingxue's boyfriend, even to the point of flattery, and took the initiative to invite him to sit at the same table with him. What kind of concept was this?
Li Feng remembered Lu Yiming's name.
Could this be the richest man Lu Yiming?
This was really beyond his expectations.
Li Feng felt his face burning when he remembered how he had just stared at Shi Qingxue unscrupulously and was thinking about stealing Lu Yiming's girl. He even teased Shi Qingxue with Xu Tengyu in front of Lu Yiming.
You actually have improper thoughts about the richest man’s girlfriend?
He is really very bold.
Even Xu Tengyu was shocked.
He finally came back to his senses. No wonder he felt that the person in front of him was very familiar, it turned out to be Mr. Lu, the richest man!
Fortunately, I didn’t say anything excessive just now!
Thinking of the scene just now, Xu Tengyu couldn't help but look at Li Feng with some gloating.
This kid is in big trouble now!
Flirting with the richest man’s girlfriend in front of him, what kind of shocking move is this?
Li Feng hurriedly took Li Haixia's hand, stood up and said, "Come here, I want to tell you something."
"oh."
Li Haixia was not a member of that circle. She was neither in politics nor in business, so she had no idea of Lu Yiming's weight in these two circles, let alone who Xu Wentao was.
So, even at this point, she still hasn't realized what exactly happened.
Li Feng hurriedly pulled Li Haixia aside and glared at her, "Li Haixia, why didn't you tell me that your classmate's boyfriend is Lu Yiming?"
Li Haixia was shocked by Li Feng's attitude and quickly said, "I told you a long time ago that Shi Qingxue's boyfriend is Lu Yiming."
Li Feng roared: "Then you didn't say he was the richest man, Lu Yiming."
Li Haixia said aggrievedly: "You didn't ask."
Li Feng was so angry that he laughed, and sneered: "You won't tell me if I don't ask you?"
He originally thought that his girlfriend was pretty and that she must have a high IQ since she was admitted to Fudan University. But now she is so stupid that he is speechless.
If you don't even tell me such important information, what the hell can you introduce?
Li Haixia curled her lips and said, "Even if he is the richest man in Lu, so what? Don't you always say that having money but no power is nothing? Don't you say that as long as you ask, money is not a problem at all?"
In her opinion, Lu Yiming is just a rich man, while Li Feng's family is a wealthy family, so the gap should not be that big.
After hearing this, Li Feng was speechless. Even rich people are divided into different classes, okay?
Although the Lu family behind Lu Yiming is not a wealthy family, strictly speaking, it is just a nouveau riche, but Lu Yiming is too rich and is willing to invest heavily in China, so his social status and influence are a level higher than many so-called wealthy families. This is the kind of person that the higher-ups like the most. Although he has no political background, as long as he opens his mouth, no matter who it is, he will give him the green light!
Not to mention Lu Yiming's connections and influence abroad. Many wealthy families are just local tyrants. They can only show off their power in their own territory. No one recognizes them when they go abroad. What about Lu Yiming? He can chat and laugh with the world's richest man like Bill Gates!
In this regard, although Li Feng and Xu Tengyu were arrogant, they also knew their own limitations. The status they were proud of was nothing in front of Lu Yiming!
Li Caixia was not really stupid. At this point, she could see that Lu Yiming was someone that even the Li family behind Li Feng could not afford to offend.
Thinking of this, she felt even more upset. She had finally found a boyfriend from a wealthy family and thought she could be proud of herself, but in the end she was outshined by Shi Qingxue again.
