Chapter 128 - Beginning of the Conflict
"Young master Huang, it's said that Jiang Zhou is the center of China's economy and is the most prosperous place in China." Young master Huang, it's said that Jiang Zhou is the center of China's economy and is the most prosperous place in China.
A girl asked curiously, "It seems like this place is similar to our Cantonese city?"
"That's right, Young Master Huang. You're someone who has seen a lot of things. Explain to us just what's going on?" The others also joined in.
"Ha ha!"
The one called Young Master Huang was a young man around the age of 25 or 26.
This young master Huang wasn't very tall, but his expression was one of satisfaction, as if he enjoyed being praised by others.
He nodded with a smile and said, "In terms of prosperity, Jiang Zhou is indeed more prosperous than Cangzhou. There is no doubt about that."
A girl immediately said, "But it seems like that's the case in Jiang Prefecture?"
Huang Shaotian waved his hand and calmly said: "To tell you the truth, it's because your knowledge isn't good enough and you don't understand this social level well enough."
"Then Young Master Huang, tell me, what exactly is going on?" someone asked.
"Ha!"
Business streets like this one are mostly visited by ordinary people. You see, on the road, there are a lot of students and office workers who can't even buy high-end places. On the contrary, the goods on the streets are of a high quality and aren't expensive.
"Therefore, even in the Jiang Prefecture, the Walking Street is not that high-end. Otherwise, ordinary people would no longer have any interest in coming here." Huang Shao laughed: "And this principle is the same in every big city in the country. That's why you can see that Cangzhou and Jiangzhou are similar in terms of prosperity, but this is only on the surface."
At this point, Huang Shao paused for a moment. At this moment, a girl next to him took the opportunity to ask: "Then, what's the real difference between Yuzhou and Jiangzhou?"
Perhaps this girl was too flattering on the side, giving Huang Qide a rare opportunity to show off, his face revealed a trace of a smile, saying: "Actually, it depends on whether or not a city is really prosperous, what really depends on is the city's high level of consumption. As far as I know, Jiang Prefecture's high level of consumption far surpa.s.ses Cong Prefecture."
"What is a high level of consumption?" the girl asked again.
"Let's put it this way. Although there are always five-star hotels or special expensive places on the streets, these are only for businessmen or upstarts with a bit of money. People with real status rarely go to these places."
In fact, the truly good places are all closed to outsiders. For example, if you want to go to a private club or private hotel, just having money is not good, but you need to have a certain status and position. For example, I know that there is a private club in Jiang Prefecture.
"There is only one sentence that you cannot imagine!" Huang Shaotian waved his hand and said enthusiastically.
"I have truly gained experience today!" The girl laughed, "For someone like me, I'm afraid I'll never be able to enter such a place in my entire life. If it wasn't for what Young Master Huang had said, I wouldn't have known such a place existed."
As she spoke, the girl turned her head and said: "w.a.n.g Tong, it's rare for Huang Qide to take us out to experience things. You have to grasp this opportunity and learn from Young Master Huang!"
"Sigh …"
I think Little w.a.n.g is very good, he's very smart, looks like he's also very smart, but he's just a bit timid. In this aspect, a lot of changes are good, but you, Little Kan, are a lot better, not only is he pretty, but his little mouth is also very sweet, he's very talkative, and people like him … "
As he spoke, Young Master Huang pointed at the girl's small mouth.
"Then …"
The girl known as Little Kan took a step to the side, avoiding Young Master Huang's hand and directly pulling w.a.n.g Tong over. She said, "w.a.n.g Tong, hurry up and thank Young Master Huang. Can't you see Young Master Huang is praising you?"
w.a.n.g Tong didn't know what kind of expression he had on his face …
He could only look on helplessly as his girlfriend played around among these young masters and young masters like a courtesan, showing a flattering smile to anyone. No matter how unhappy or aggrieved he was, he had to show a brilliant smile to them to let them know how happy he was.
If it was only this, w.a.n.g Tong might still be able to endure it, because in this world, people have to give something in order to get what they want. However, there were people who had to work hard, and there were people who had to give their dignity, and there were people who had to give their conscience …
w.a.n.g Tong didn't know what he was paying, but he knew that when he saw his girlfriend pretend to be ignorant and get taken advantage of by these young masters, his heart felt as if it had been viciously tugged by someone, and it hurt a lot.
Thus, no matter how hard his girlfriend tried to urge him, w.a.n.g Tong couldn't utter a single word, much less give a heartless smile to thank Young Master Huang.
If he didn't kick Huang Shaotian to death, then that would be good enough!
However, w.a.n.g Tong couldn't do this because he knew very well that Young Master Huang's status was far from something he could compare to. Even his girlfriend's father was extremely polite to him. If he dared to beat up Young Master Huang, then everything would be over.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Tong could only grit his teeth and remained silent.
"Hey, Little w.a.n.g, it looks like you aren't in high spirits. You can't be like this!"
Seeing that w.a.n.g Tong didn't say a word and didn't give any reaction to Young Master Huang, a young man wearing gla.s.ses at the side immediately became unhappy. He used a lecturing tone and said: "Little w.a.n.g, Young Master Huang's time is very tight, if he has the time, then he will teach you. You must be secretly happy. Now you still haven't given any reaction?"
w.a.n.g Tong looked at him and secretly gritted his teeth, but he still remained silent.
"Heh …"
Seeing that w.a.n.g Tong had such an expression on his face, the gla.s.ses man glared at him and bared his teeth, "I say, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d …" "Ouch!"
Before the bespectacled man could finish his sentence, he suddenly let out a blood-curdling screech. His entire body shook violently, and he staggered a few steps back, then with a plop, he plopped down on the ground.
"Aiyo..." "b.a.s.t.a.r.d!" The bespectacled man couldn't help but cry out in pain. He clutched his b.u.t.t and got up all of a sudden. He said angrily, "Which b.a.s.t.a.r.d hit me?"
"You're the f.u.c.king b.a.s.t.a.r.d, you dare to sue me for being a scoundrel?" Immediately, a person walked over and grabbed the man with gla.s.ses by his collar and lifted him up. He said coldly, "Cursing when you open your mouth. From the way you're dressed, it looks like you're full of s.h.i.t!"
"Ahem …"
The bespectacled man's neck was strangled to the point where he almost couldn't breathe. His face was flushed red as he tried his best to pry open the hand that was grabbing his collar. However, that hand was like an iron pincer, he couldn't break it no matter how hard he tried.
The bespectacled man desperately tried to hit the man with his hands, but when his fists landed on the man, he felt pain on his hands instead. The muscles on the man's body were too hard, it was as if they were made of iron.
"Lei Zi, forget it. Don't lower yourself to the same level as someone like him. You should save yourself the trouble of losing your ident.i.ty!" Another voice sounded.
"Humph!"
Only then did the man let go of the bespectacled man. The latter immediately sat down on the ground and clutched his neck as he started coughing. When he looked at the man again, there was a hint of fear in his eyes.
"Ji Feng, Zhang Lei?"
At this time, w.a.n.g Tong yelled out in surprise: "Why is it you guys?"
It couldn't be blamed on w.a.n.g Tong's shock, because the one who clashed with the bespectacled man was none other than the good friend he had just met, Zhang Lei!
Without a doubt, the person who tried to persuade Zhang Lei was Ji Feng.
This caused w.a.n.g Tong to be astonished and overjoyed. He was originally worried that he would run into Ji Feng and Zhang Lei, who had already lost contact with each other by chance. However, before he could say anything, his girlfriend interrupted him and stopped him from contacting Ji Feng.
Therefore, w.a.n.g Tong had always been at a loss as to what reasons he should use to find Ji Feng and the others. If he could not come up with a solution, then it would be very difficult for him to meet these two good friends of his in the future.
Just as w.a.n.g Tong was thinking about how to escape, he didn't expect that Ji Feng and Zhang Lei would appear here again. This was truly a pleasant surprise!
"Ji Feng, Zhang Lei, didn't you guys head in the opposite direction earlier? How did you meet me here?" w.a.n.g Tong asked with a wide smile on his face.
"This pedestrian walkway is only this big. It's normal for us to only be able to see it after walking a few steps." Zhang Lei chuckled. Soon after, he wrinkled his brows and asked: "Oh yeah, w.a.n.g Tong, is this guy who spits feces all over his mouth your friend?"
"He …" w.a.n.g Tong didn't know how to introduce them. If he was talking about friends, then Ji Feng and Zhang Lei were his friends. But now that Young Master Huang and the others were friends in name and in front of them, if this wasn't a friend, then it would be difficult for him to get away with it.
"Friend, don't you think that's a bit too much?" At this moment, Young Master Huang suddenly opened his mouth to speak. He stared at Zhang Lei and said in a low voice: "You recklessly beat people up, and now you're speaking dirty words. Do you really think you're someone important?"
