It had always been a society where power and background prevailed. As for those arrogant nobodies, it was useless to enlighten them with laws and moral standards. A better way of teaching them who was actually in charge was to let them realize that you were someone they couldn't afford messing up with. For example, you were in good relationship with some big shot they dared not to offend. As a result, they would stay away from you as far as they could and serve you as one of them.
Therefore, instead of talking with fists and feet, Qin Sheng had chosen to show his cards on the table directly to act swiftly.
Right at that moment, those gang bangers, together with their big boss, who had stuck up their noses at Qin Sheng earlier, were soon getting upset, as they were sober enough to know that they were right in the middle of something. Apparently, the man in front of them was unquestionably a dangerous man to cross, or else he wouldn't have been able to call
Filial piety is the most important virtue. Qin Sheng had been thinking that he would never make friends with people who neglected their filial duties. If one didn't care and respect his parents, then he would never be faithful to his friends. One could hurt anyone for some reason, but not their own parents. Though parents might make mistakes or do the wrong thing out of kindness, they never intended to hurt their own children. Qin Sheng was eager to do something for Lao Guo. One reason was that he grew up without parents and was always dying for the warmth of normal quality time with the family. For another, he was thinking about his relationship with Qin Changan. Lao Guo's daughter was beaten to the ground. She wanted to jump out and fight with Qin Sheng fiercely. But when she saw Qin Sheng take a plate as a weapon, she was scared into silence. Lao Guo was in great pain when seeing that. After all, she was his ow
Most people in this world were born to be common, but they were also born to be different. Even a common person's life was unique in its ups and downs. To other people, Lao Guo was nobody, like a grain of sand in the desert. Lao Guo never expected to be cared for by others, even his sons and daughter who had neglected their filial duties. But Qin Sheng, a young man who he just knew for a month, gave him the warmth of love and care that he had been lacking. That was the reason why Lao Guo felt moved and sad about Qin Sheng's departure. He knew that he could meet with Qin Sheng later on, but there would never be a chance for them to live together. On his way back, Qin Sheng was also depressed about Lao Guo's sadness. Lao Guo was not a big shot. He was no more than a common person, but he always kept it real. Qin Sheng never looked down upon Lao Guo for being normal and treated him as a real friend. Besides, he was grateful to Lao Guo for his e
Lunar New Year's Eve would be tomorrow, so a lot of cars went to the airport. Today was the first day of the statutory holiday, but given the Spring Festival travel season, many people took a holiday a few days earlier. The legal holiday was for a few days, just enough to spend time with the family, visit relatives, and go to a party with old friends. The Spring Festival was the only one time that they could see each other every year and also the only time their relationship could be cemented. A friendly company could win their staff's loyalty. Job-hopping might be the fastest way to get promoted in the profit-oriented world. But everyone is human, not a machine, and they could make a choice after weighing the pros and cons based on their feelings. Qin Sheng would go back with Su Qin every year when they were students in Shanghai. It was a special feeling to hold each other in the sleeping berth filled with smells and people, and to hear all kinds of acce
20 years ago, Old Master Qin took Qin Sheng to the Zhongnan Mountains, which was acknowledged as the place where luck was gathered. He also chose this place as his graveyard, believing that his spirit would gain luck for Qin Sheng. Qin Sheng had led a life continuously drifting from here to there, during which time he lost a lot. Today, Qin Changan took Qin Sheng back to the Zhongnan Mountains to visit Old Master Qin's grave, officially declaring that Qin Sheng started an unpredictable new life. The 20 years of suffering were preparation for Qin Sheng's later success, which, however, was still unknown. They burned incense, kowtowed, and bowed. They didn't do too much of the tomb-visiting rites. Qin Changan stood up and looked at Qin Sheng and Qin Ran. "You'll stay in Xi'an for another day. I'm going back to Beijing now. I'll ask Gongsun to pick you up at the airport tomorrow afternoon." Qin Ran nodded and said, "Dad, tak
When Qin Sheng was an undergraduate, on every long vacation, he would go back to the Zhongnan Mountains to visit his grandpa. He usually stayed for two days, enjoying the quietness here, and then went to the Lins' house. At that time, where Grandpa lived was his home. This small village in the Zhongnan Mountains was not Qin Sheng's home, but he had some special emotional connection with this place. His friends in Xi'an were either best friends in junior and senior high, or childhood peers in this small village. This village was not large. There were hundreds of families living here. This place was located between the Zhongnan Mountains and Xi'an city. It was a rather rich area. Most people here lived in two-floored houses, or even more luxurious mansions. Some of them did business or worked as officials in Xi'an. Some developed agritainment at the foot of the Zhongnan Mountains. They had particularly increased turnover in the summer. And some others devel
Qin Sheng was very familiar with the route from the Zhongnan Mountains to Qujiang New District, but he felt different every time he was back. Especially the last few times, he even felt a little guilty, because he owed the Lin Family so much. He had grown up there since he was a little kid. Even when he disappeared for no reason from time to time in these years, Auntie Wang and other people in the Lin Family just worried about him a lot, fearing that he might get hurt and would be gone forever. He sometimes felt that he was very selfish, always doing things at his own will and never caring about other people's feelings, so lately, he just kept self-questioning himself. Like Auntie Wang, after the misfortune happened to the Lin Family and Uncle Lin was put in prison, she must have been under an incredible amount of pressure. Xin Xin was studying in Shanghai, and he also disappeared, so Auntie Wang lived in Xi'an all alone. He couldn't imagine how hard life
It had been just a quarrel at first. But, due to the aggressiveness of the owner of the Land Rover, it gradually developed into a fight. Someone just had to accept the bad consequences because of their own actions. No one had expected that the arrogant man would have been handled by another man. Qin Sheng would rather beat him up directly than talk sense into him, which satisfied the people greatly. The owner of the Land Rover was too arrogant, as he thought he had money and could handle anything. First, he argued with the guard, and then cursed the girl behind them, and he even wanted to slap her. That was unacceptable to everyone. If killing was not illegal, the owner of the Land Rover would probably have been hacked up many times. However, this was a so-called Society Ruled by Law. Even the justifiable defense and heroic behaviors might also break the law, so who would be willing to interfere with other people's business? Everyone just thought that it was none of th
There were people living quite an ordinary life, while there were also some with power working in the government. Different people had different lives, but most of them would agree that in this world, keeping a low profile and being kind to others would never be bad things. Maybe you had suffered losses, but you would get repaid in the end. And those evil behaviors would also bring about retribution. The owner of the Land Rover was lucky to come across Qin Sheng and Qin Ran, who were not arrogant coxcomb. If he had had a conflict with someone who was much more evil, the result would be probably unacceptable to him. What's more, the situation today was special for Qin Sheng and Qin Ran. After all, tomorrow was New Year's Eve and they were going to leave Xi'an. They wouldn't stay long with Auntie Wang and Xin Xin, so they were unwilling to waste their time on these trifles. But as for how the person that Qin Ran had called would deal with it, that was just
