Chapter 332

The business smile on Lin Jie's face gradually disappeared, and he took back his outstretched hand.

Although to be honest, he didn't feel angry because of the contemptuous attitude and expression of the other party. He has met too many people like this, whether it is before or after time travel, there are simply too many to count.

If he had to get angry every time he met one, he would probably have become a blowfish by now.

But not being angry doesn't mean you have to get used to the other party, just like Buddha.

Responding to the handshake ceremony should be regarded as the most basic courtesy, and he didn't even want to make any superficial efforts. It can be seen that this Mr. John didn't want to save face for both parties at all.

That being the case, no matter how good-tempered Lin Jie is, he doesn't intend to continue to maintain the friendliness of a businessman who makes money from anger.

Lin Jie sighed, spread his hands, and said calmly: "I'm just an unknown bookstore owner. My name is not worth mentioning. In terms of status, I am indeed very different from everyone here."

Ji Zhixu hesitated when introducing him, probably because of this factor. Before he made public the matter of his cooperation with Luo Er Resources, directly revealing such an ordinary identity, I am afraid that it will lead to more obvious malice And ridicule... It's really hard for her.

However, Miss Ji seems to have underestimated the determination of this guy in front of him to provoke... If you change to someone who is more sensible, or to put it another way, someone who is more cowardly, if Ji Zhixu doesn't mention it on purpose, he should be wise. Choose to give up asking, because it is obviously very likely to offend Ji Zhixu.

Therefore, to say such unrestrained and rude words on such occasions, either this person is a real fool, or he is confident and thinks that even if he says so, it will not matter.

Although Lin Jie thought it was the first possibility subjectively, objectively speaking, the second possibility was more likely.

Especially... this guy's eyes were condescending.

It was not only aimed at Lin Jie, but even Ji Zhixu was included in it.

In other words... This guy has the confidence to think that he has more status than Miss Ji's family from Luoer Resources?

According to common sense, this is simply impossible. Roller Resources is already a giant monopoly enterprise standing at the top of NUO. Everyone in this banquet can clearly understand the weight of this behemoth, and there is no other power at all. Being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with it... Even in the Central District, apart from political factors, the attitude towards Rolle's resources also needs to be considered.

But... what if we use extraordinary logic to infer?

Lin Jie narrowed his eyes, and said slowly: "Introducing both parties should indeed be equal, but it may be more respectful for the other party to introduce myself. This is not a big deal, but I'm afraid... so You who make a fuss out of a molehill didn’t come here with the intention of communicating on an equal footing from the very beginning, did you?”

John shifted his gaze from Ji Zhixu to Lin Jie, raised his chin slightly, and said with a smile on his face: "This is not a trivial matter...a commoner."

It means that in your "civilian" class, you can't understand the importance of the status gap between the two parties under the situation of unequal status?

That's pretty arrogant.

But John obviously felt that such arrogance was not enough... His heart was burning with rational jealousy—yes, jealousy, John never concealed his possessive desire for Ji Zhixu. One of the most powerful contenders for resource marriage.

Until Ji Zhixu invited this unknown person to dance the first dance at her twentieth birthday party.

As a nobleman, even as an extraordinary person, as a young wizard with outstanding talent, John felt humiliated!

But now, this jealousy is telling him that he must let this commoner who thinks he has climbed a high branch deeply understand who he is.

"Of course, Mr. Unnamed, I'm not talking about you."

John spread his hands helplessly, with a distressed look: "I still understand the thoughts of those common people. For them, they may feel that there is really no need to distinguish between high and low identities. After all, they are always pursuing The so-called equality and freedom, I think nobles are some fools who only enjoy themselves, but..."

He gestured around: "Look, this is the closest place to the Central District of NUO, and it is the center of District A. Look at these priceless decorations, and what about them? They live in a number street where there is no way to get a letter at the beginning." , not even in the stinky gutters of urban planning, how can there be equality in this world.”

"With all due respect, every decoration here is enough to buy hundreds of low-level slaves, hehe, why don't you guess where these slaves come from?"

"...Don't look at me like that, oh, you probably don't know, for people with aristocratic status, buying and selling slaves is still legal to this day. This is something recognized by the Central District. Of course, as a nobleman with dignity, We will never do anything to these slaves beyond what is reasonably required."

"I just wanted to say, do you understand the significance of these numbers? It separates two kinds of people in itself - not a commoner or an aristocrat."

"It's like distinguishing the delicate use of various tableware at the table. They don't need to understand these etiquettes. After all, they will never see tableware other than chopsticks, spoons and forks in their entire lives. They will even hold it with their hands. Food eating, oh my god, what a disgusting, dirty and sleazy behavior!"

John's eyes were full of sarcasm, but on the surface he looked polite, as if he was really just talking about some aristocratic etiquette: "But you have to know, these etiquettes are a sign of civilization."

"And the so-called civilization is precisely the difference between man and animal... or, in other words, the difference between man and livestock."

The expression change on Ji Zhixu's face can no longer be simply described in words.

Her complexion had already darkened, and she was very ugly. When John opened his mouth, she was going to directly teach the guy in front of him an unforgettable lesson in this life, who didn't even know who he was talking to, but she opened her mouth to speak, but was caught by Lin Jie. Wei Wei raised her hand to stop it.

She turned her head and saw Lin Jie's calm eyes looking directly at John.

"..."

Although the eyes were calm enough to be called peaceful, Ji Zhixu shivered unconsciously.

Because she suddenly realized at this moment... In those eyes that were as dark as ever, since they left the dim light of the bookstore all the year round, it seemed that there was no more light in them, and only the bottomless distance remained. dark.

Mingming hall was brightly lit, and the cups of wine were intertwined, but those lively and bright scenes could not be reflected by these eyes.

"Actually, I think what you said is quite reasonable."

Lin Jie put on a bright smile again: "But since we are in this banquet, everyone is just Miss Ji's guests, but if you insist on competing..."

The owner of the bookstore looked at John, smiled and whispered: "I think, between you and me, there is another way to classify."
