Chapter 30: The Noble Person

  Chen Ergou did not kill Qiao Liu, the last scion of the Qiao family. Not only did he not want to kill him, but he also wanted to use him to play a game of "officially nurtured bandit" and disrupt the situation. However, it was Fang Jie who messed things up. Chen Ergou had planned to take down Qiao Liu, who had gone crazy and wanted to hack himself to death with a knife. This part is true, but the person who killed Qiao Liu was not him. So, it's said that he destroyed the Qiao family, but Chen Ergou didn't have that kind of ability. However, life is like this - there are gains and losses, and one after another, cold jokes and black humor emerge, each taking turns to appear, never getting tired.

  This man, who has experienced the taste of life, is playing dice with a non-mainstream girl nicknamed "Baby". The game is called "Seven", which tests one's drinking capacity. Women are like a white canvas that covers up all ugliness, while men become handsome once they have money, not to mention being good-looking, making it easy for people to misunderstand them as having taste or temperament. In the past, Chen Er Dog was poor and inevitably resented the rich, but now he is enjoying this benefit whether actively or passively. Having money makes suffering more bearable than not having money. After playing games for a while, Chen Er Dog discovered that the non-mainstream girl in front of him was not as pale as his first impression. She was bold and straightforward, and didn't hide her intentions to seduce others. Putting aside her smoky makeup, which Chen Er Dog couldn't accept, she was actually a pretty good-looking kid. She had a melon-shaped face, a sharp chin that made women jealous, slender fingers, and a slim figure that was thin but curvy in the right places. On the table, there was an abundance of food, but she only ate one slice of apple. This girl, who might have spent more time partying than studying, said with intention: "Su Ye has something to do and went out to make a call, but she'll be back later. She definitely needs to go home before 12 o'clock. Do you want to hang out after 12?"

  Perhaps fearing that Chen Ergou wouldn't understand the jargon, the V-necked woman with a snowy white complexion stopped rolling the dice in her hand, lifted her head and blinked her eyes, saying: "In our Nanjing, aren't there two 'beautiful women of the chaotic world'? So many people are big chaos after small chaos. Do you have the habit of changing wine glasses?"

  Chen Ergou shook his head and joked: "If changing places would bring you benefits, I'd change."

  Her eyes lit up, and she clasped her hands to her chest like a child, looking quite endearing. She asked tentatively, "Really, you're not teasing me?"

  Chen Ergou blinked and smiled: "Gotcha."

  "Bad guy." Baby rolled her eyes, if it were Su Ye with a gentle and quiet temperament who rolled her eyes, it would definitely make people collapse, but when she did it, it was actually cute, this might be her advantage. Shen Hai originally wanted to privately greet Boss Wang Ya Lou, letting this young and sexy girl serve together with the original dynamic girl, which might determine his position height of new ally, however, he seemed to have heard that this ally's wife had a big green hat temperament, so he thought twice and felt it was not necessary to take the risk of being remembered by this green hat prince's back house. He glanced at Baby, he actually liked this type of young beauty, the one in front of him could really make this old cow want to eat tender grass, full of energy, far more attractive than his wife at home, who knows if her skills in bed were inversely proportional to her age, but since she was someone else's grass, no matter how tempting, Shen Hai didn't have the heart to eat.

  It was already 11:20, although for the bar-hopping crowd the night had just begun. Chen Ergou wasn't up for it, and as he prepared to drag Shen Hai and a few others out of Maso, Su Ye returned to the bar and sat down. She seemed to want to keep Chen Ergou company for another half hour. Seeing that he was about to leave, she didn't overthink it. "Want to walk together?" Chen Ergou asked casually.

  Su Ye hesitated for a moment, nodded, and retrieved her bag from the cloakroom. This young woman, who always left the nightclub before 12 o'clock every night, accompanied a group of men and women out of Maso. Huang Bo and the two Nanjing Normal University beauties he had "eaten to death" got into an Audi Z4 and drove away. Su Ye remained expressionless about this. Her bag was not Chanel or LV, but a Alviero Martini map print bag, which was quite interesting. Chen Er Gou glanced at it a few more times. Shen Hai and his group very tactfully took the lead in getting into a BMW, while Chen Er Gou, who had lit a cigarette when leaving the bar, still had half a cigarette left to finish before waiting outside the Audi. Su Ye hesitated again, standing beside him without speaking, quietly unobtrusive and unforced, as if she was just that kind of woman who didn't like to try too hard to please anyone.

  "Is your boyfriend also studying for a master's degree?" Chen Ergou asked with a smile as he was about to finish his cigarette.

  Su Ye's eyes widened in surprise, with a hint of incredulity.

  "I'm guessing." Chen Ergou smiled with his eyes narrowed, leaning against a brand new Audi A4, not showing off at all. He was holding a mid-range cigarette that still made it hard to discern his identity. His face, which couldn't be considered handsome, was filled with a genuine and unpretentious smile. Perhaps he himself didn't even realize how stunning his image was at this moment. In the eyes of a mature woman, if a man has an air of mystery, plus a superior background, and at the right time, in the right place, does something subtle but just right, that's called "unstoppable momentum".

  For a girl from a wealthy family who is not particularly prominent in her social status, this effect is sufficient.

  "Do you need me to send you?" Chen Ergou said, looking at his watch.

  Su Ye shook her head and said, "I'll drive myself back."

  Chen Ergou didn't have any intention of secretly flirting with other women, so there was no need to continue the conversation. He got into his Audi and bid her farewell with a wave of his hand. A woman like Su Ye was a pleasure to encounter occasionally, but she was not someone you could take home as a trophy wife. Unless she didn't plan on being a good housewife and was content with being a plaything for men to use at their whim, it seemed she hadn't been jaded by life to that extent yet. She and Baobao were women from two completely different worlds.

  Too many women are bright and charming before getting into bed, but immediately become dull and tasteless after getting into bed, just like chicken ribs, or even worse than chicken ribs.

  These words were spoken by Wang Hu Sheng, with great eloquence and persuasion.

  At that time, Chen Ergou neither denied nor acknowledged it. Now he just feels a slight pain in his heart and mouth, which is not suffocating but cannot be shaken off.

  The mobile phone rang inopportunely, it was Shen Hai. The data showed that the man who had climbed to today's position without relying on his parents or women opened the door and said straightforwardly: "That girl named Su Ye looks pretty good, are you interested? If so, plus that baby, I'll arrange for you, guaranteeing no leakage, and won't affect the red flag at home."

  Chen Ergou smiled and said, "No need, I have a friend who once said that eating chicken is not as good as eating a good family, and I deeply agree. Spending money to buy women, no matter how beautiful they are, will depreciate them. Moreover, you don't even know how many hands they've been through before reaching yours, this feeling is too awkward."

  Here is the translation:

  At this point, Chen Ergou couldn't help but mock himself. If Su Ye or Bao Bao heard this, they would probably be splashed with wine on the spot. "Eating chicken is not as good as eating a good family" was Xiao Mei's motto. Thinking carefully, Chen Ergou actually admired this young master who never took himself seriously. Shen Hai listened and didn't continue the conversation, hung up the phone, and Wu Liang, sitting in the passenger seat of the BMW X5, took off his gold-rimmed glasses with a scholarly air and wiped them clean. He looked down and said casually, "Old Shen, tell me something, what's Chen Fusheng's background? His accent sounds like he's from the north, how did he end up doing HR at Qinghe?"

  Shen Hai mysteriously smiled and said, "Don't ask me, I'm not even clear about his background. Probably only our Empress Dowager knows the truth. Some say he's the illegitimate son of Duke Wei, while others claim he's the young master of Kunshan. Recently, there's a new version saying he's from an ordinary family, but has a wife who's not simple and a military brother who's extremely arrogant. Which one should I believe?"

  Wu Liang put on his glasses and sighed, "When you're ill, you'll try any doctor. Unfortunately, I couldn't even find a quack who sells dog skin plaster now. This period of time, I've used up all the resources that should be used, a sack and a trunk full of money have been thrown in, but it's all gone down the drain. Alas, I'm afraid this time I'm completely finished."

  Wang Quan, sitting in the back row, was in a great mood because of Chen Ergou's promise and comforted him, saying: "Old Wu, that matter is just a thrilling game, it may turn out to be a wonderful surprise one day. Besides, didn't Chen Fusheng say he has connections at China Tobacco Company? If he really is from the north, maybe he can get things done in Beijing, which would be much more effective than those scammers who call you with a bunch of phone numbers and claim to be your relatives."

  Wu Liang looked at Shen Hai with hopeful eyes, this was probably his last straw, if he couldn't grasp it, he would really have to accept his fate and write a farewell letter, destined to disappoint the entire exhausted family.

  Shen Hai hesitated for a moment, seemingly testing Wu Liang's appetite, before slowly saying: "I'll make an appearance to help you pave the way."

  Wu Liang was deeply grateful.

  Shen Hai learned from Chen Ergou's experience and first gave the big fish a preventive shot, saying: "This matter can't be rushed, one careless move will make things worse, so you must have psychological preparation, it's a protracted war."

  Wu Liang nodded fiercely, rekindling his determination, gritting his teeth and saying: "This time I'll even sell my pots and pans to send my daughter away, as long as Chen Fusheng is willing to nod his head and let my coal mine come back to life, I'll do it!"

  In fact, thorough despair and decadence can consume a successful man's mind more than anything else. Such a man must have faith in order to get back up from where he fell. Not to mention whether Shen Hai is taking advantage of the situation or not, I believe Wu Liang will be grateful for giving him a reason to continue striving forward.

  Shen Hai laughed and said, "Forget about your daughter, that pretty girl named Su Ye wasn't even noticed by him, do you still hope to be his father-in-law? Old Wu, your abacus is indeed loud."

  Three old men looked at each other and burst out laughing.

  Chen Erdou's road, unintentionally began to spread out.

  Cast a wide net and you will catch big fish.

  The stupidest method is always the most practical shortcut to success.

  Cao Cao's most favored concubine was indeed Lady Bian.

  She could have easily given Chen Ergou a success, but she didn't. She just quietly taught her own man how to make a name for himself and stand on his own two feet. He and she both had to put in double or even multiple efforts, but she just didn't want a man who would spend his whole life bowing down and speaking humbly to others.
