If Qin Sheng was willing to take the initiative to understand his father's life, he would have learned that his father had not led an easy life for his entire lifetime. Perhaps most of the people would not have the same life as his.
When Qin Changan was little, he was raised by his mother. As for the man he called father, he was mysterious. Sometimes, he stayed at home for half a year. Sometimes, Qin Changan could not see him often for a whole year. His mother died when he was young, making him experience the first major setback in his life. Since then, he had been dependent on his brother for survival, and they were both fostered in the home of one of their father's friends. They were no different from orphans.
When he was about to become 30, he experienced the biggest misfortune of his lifetime. His wife died, his son was taken away by his father, and his brother took refuge in Buddhism. Only his daughter was left to accompany him, and they later were dep
Ever since Qin Sheng's childhood, he had been living in the Lin family and following Uncle Lin to meet many so-called rich people and learn about their lives. The lives of the local tyrants, who had started from different identities and got rich with different approaches, were not the same. Even the upstarts in northern Shaanxi who had made their fortunes by relying on coal mines had completely different attitudes toward their lives.Most of them had been born poor, whose misery was beyond imagination. Some of them still lived a frugal and simple life after they became rich. But the vast majority were completely unscrupulous after they became rich overnight.Qin Sheng had once dreamed of what kind of life he would lead after he became outstanding one day. He had thought that he would still lead a low-key life. After all, he was not a high-profile person. Besides, the further he went forward step by step, the more peaceful his mood would become gradually.
It was the first time that Qin Sheng had seen someone cottoning up to others in such a way. Could it be that he was not afraid that he would be beaten when he would go outside?Qin Sheng eyed the fellow in front of him up and down and finally understood why that person had initiated such a weird opening remark. He was exactly a weirdo among all the people in the entire classroom.On their way here, Fang Huawei had already informed Qin Sheng about the situation of the study program in detail. It was not a traditional EMBA gold-plated class. Otherwise, it would be the same as all other business schools, which were flooding everywhere now. This distinction could be seen from the lists of the instructors this time, who were all the top ones of Tsinghua University. Besides, many of them were members of the advisory board, including the business leaders at home and abroad, as well as senior officials of Ministries and Commissions.Firstly, people cou
Hangzhou, Xixi, Yuerong Manor. These three keywords already allowed Qin Sheng to understand what this man wanted to say. This man knew him, and he had met Qin Sheng at Yuerong Manor in Hangzhou, during his incident with Yan Chaozong and Qu Huanxi. "I'm afraid you've got the wrong person," replied Qin Sheng in a cold voice. Although he was no longer afraid of Yan Chaozong's gang, Qin Sheng did not want to let anyone know he was currently in Beijing, especially this group of people. He would deal with Yan Chaozong after he figured out his life and understood the details of the Qin and Zhu families' background. The man wore a fancy outfit. On the inside, he wore a British-style suit, which he had gotten tailored at Savile Street. He topped it off with a grey coat and Hermès scarf. His outfit presented himself as an upper-society elite man. "I don't think so. You can't possibly look the same and have the same name, right? Besides,
After Qin Sheng got onto the car, Qin Ran then told him that she was bringing him to the siheyuan for dinner. Every month on this date, Qin Ra would always return to the siheyuan to have dinner with Qin Changan. It had already become an unwritten rule. No matter how angry she was at him, she must still be filial to her parent. Hence, now that Qin Sheng had come back, she would also make him follow this rule. She hoped that the father and son could have more interactions. Otherwise, their relationship would continue to be stiff. During this time, Qin Sheng's heart had calmed down gradually, and he had figured out some things. He had started to look at things from Qin Changan's point of view. He was Qin Changan's son, Qin Changan definitely did not have ill intentions towards him. He had sent someone to follow him secretly in order to protect him. Thinking about it, without this protection, he could have died on Mount Jiuhua already. How could he possibly be living so fr
Some love stories were too perfect, which was why God could bear to break them apart. If the incident from more than 20 years ago had not happened, perhaps many people would continue to admire Qin Sheng's parents' love. When they had first met, they had been barely 16. There had been a big snowfall, and the accumulated snow in the backyard had reached their ankles. A few boys had been there building a snowman. A girl wrapped in a wool jacket had been standing not far away, watching them silently. Her cheeks had been red, and she had been humming a song that no one had heard before. Qin Changan had been led into the courtyard by his father. He had been instantly attracted to the girl. Afterward, when recalling that day, he had said that he had finally understood what it meant by 'a glance of a thousand years' and 'continuing the relationship of previous life'. His father had gone back in, but Qin Changan had just stood there, mo
The name of this bar was also very interesting. It was called Dayin (Big Camouflage), which gave the idea of 'hiding in the city is far better than hiding in the forest'. After all, this bar was hidden in the city area. The guests in the restaurant outside definitely did not know that there was still a high-class bar hidden behind. The bar's space was not tiny. The decoration was very unique, as well. There were three pool tables in the middle, and large sofa seats lined the windows. Four-seaters were scattered all over. On the north side against the wall was the bar counter. The whole wall was filled with all kinds of alcohol in the wine cabinet. As long as you could find the name for it, they had it. There were two bartenders, one male one female. They were both good looking. After all, those who could come in were not ordinary people, and the owner was not short of this sum of money. On the right was a corridor leading deeper into the bar. There was a
Due to the difference in cultures in places, every place has a different value system. For example, in Dongbei, the majority of people felt that as long as you were rich, you were the boss. They felt that money was powerful and there was nothing you could not do with money. Many people became government officials just to earn money. A small leader could earn up to billions, so the corruption in Dongbei was very serious. The neighboring city of Shangdong was exactly the opposite. Hometown to Kong Meng, this city had been influenced by traditional ideas. Those who wanted to earn big money only wanted to become an official at most. For example, those five fake ministers. They bought their way from being businessmen up to the vice-ministerial level. Needless to say, how many big shots in the government and army came out of Shandong all these years? There was a joke that said that the highest praise a Shandong elder could give a younger one was that this kid would grow up t
Their chit-chat continued, unhindered by the previous interlude. At this time, Qin Sheng had attracted everybody's attention. Ma Weiyang and Zhang Da had endless questions for him, for they were even more worried about Qin Sheng than Qin Ran. They were eager to listen to his experiences and his ups and downs over the past 20 years. Qin Sheng was somewhat surprised by their enthusiasm and didn't know how to react properly. The other two men, Yin Hao and Yang Shihua, only spoke a couple of sentences but paid close attention to the others. They just stayed involved in the chat and never interrupted others' speech. Even though their families had some connections with each other more or less, these two had entered the circle later than others. Also, they were relatively younger, so they chose to keep a low profile. Compared with Wei Li, who had tried extremely hard to enter the group, Qin Sheng made it rather easily. This was not only because of his relationsh
