Chapter 55: Poverty and Wealth
At this time, the tall, rich and handsome man had a diligent smile on his face. He couldn't help but admit that this guy was very attractive, with a inverted triangle physique and standard facial features. However, he carried an air of nobility about him that made people feel like they couldn't rely on him.
Wen Ren Huiyin furrowed her brow and simply replied with two words, "Yes, coincidence."
It's clear that Wen Ren Huiyin is not willing to meet with Gao Fushuai, nor will she take the initiative to reveal her true identity to him.
Then Zhou Jian asked in a low voice: "How did he recognize you?"
"It was Sun Li who said it, I didn't think Sun Li would tell Gao Peng about my playing 'Shen Mo', if I had known, I wouldn't have recognized her." Wen Ren Huiyan said uncomfortably, the feeling of being betrayed by a friend is certainly not pleasant.
Gao Peng is the real name of Gao Fushuai. Coincidentally, Gao Fushuai also has the surname Gao. In high school, he pursued Wen Ren Huiyin but failed. Now it seems that this guy still hasn't given up. In fact, since Sun Li sold out Wen Ren Huiyin's information to Gao Peng, Gao Peng often travels from Fuxi City to Gu Mu Jiu and "coincidentally" runs into Wen Ren Huiyin.
"Hey, isn't this our high school's little prince Wang?" The rich and handsome guy finally saw Zhou Jian, although he spoke as if they were long-lost friends, but the fire in his heart had already flared up. You little brat, during your senior year of high school you kept pestering Wen Ren Hui, now you're coming over to freeload again? Don't you have any shame? You dare to move on the woman I've got my eyes on? You're seeking death, you're tired of living!
"Haha, long time no see." Zhou Jian naturally heard the provocative tone in Gao Fushuai's words, but he was too lazy to bother with it.
"You should have said you were playing 'Shen Mo' earlier, the equipment I discarded at level 20 wouldn't even be sold to a store, it would be better off given to you." The rich and handsome guy glanced at Zhou Jian with a teasing tone.
Zhou Jian smiled faintly and didn't respond.
"Kenko, you're clever." said a little rascal behind Gao Fushuai.
Zhou Jian looked up to find that it was another acquaintance, only with a slightly changed appearance, so Zhou Jian couldn't recognize him at first glance. This person was actually his high school classmate Liang Xinsheng, also known as Liangzi.
The two used to play games together, Zhou Jian was better at playing than Liang Xinsheng and often gave him equipment. At that time, whenever Liang Xinsheng saw Zhou Jian, he would call him "Ge" (brother). Now it seems like he has found a new backer, and his way of addressing Zhou Jian has changed from "Ge" to "Zi" (son).
Zhou Jian smiled coldly and nodded, "Indeed, I remember you said before that you wouldn't play 'Shenmo', how come you've been playing it these past few days? You leveled up so quickly, looks like you're already level 25. Leveling up to 25 in just a week, impressive."
Before Zhou Jian went to Peng City, he had borrowed money from Liang Xinsheng. At that time, Liang Xinsheng said, "This online gaming thing, I'm not touching it now, I should do something more serious. I'm a bit busy now, let's talk next time, bye."
It was obvious that this guy was lying at the time, but he was caught on the spot by Zhou Jian, and Liang Xinsheng did not feel any embarrassment.
"What's going on?" asked Gao Fushuai to Liang Xinsheng.
"Brother Peng, nothing's up. It's just that Jianzi asked me for money to play games a couple of days ago, but I'm not doing too well financially, so I brushed him off saying I don't play anymore."
When Liang Xinsheng said this, Qian Shui Wuhen frowned, and her impression of Zhou Jian dropped again. She thought that Liang Xinsheng was a rascal, and someone who borrowed money from a rascal must also be a rascal, and a very pathetic one at that, the kind who cheats and scams to get by. And her sister too, how did she end up befriending such a person?
"Ah." The rich and handsome man rubbed his chin, giving a thumbs up to Liang Xinsheng in his heart. Good kid, well said, I'll definitely reward him heavily when I get back.
Zhou Jian was too lazy to explain anything anymore. As for Liang Xinsheng, he had already seen through him.
But Wen Ren Huiyun couldn't listen anymore, Zhou Jian's borrowing money from start to finish she knew, but after being said by Liang Xinsheng, it all changed flavor. However, the kind-hearted Wen Ren Huiyun didn't know how to refute, she just indignantly said: "Liang Xinsheng, you're too much."
This kind of accusation is nothing to Liang Xinsheng, who has a thick skin, compared to a fly kicking him. The rich and handsome guy continued to stroke his chin, saying: "Yes, Liangzi, you're too much, when friends are in trouble, how can they not lend a helping hand? What's wrong, is Jianzi short of money recently? Do you want me to borrow some for you? By the way, have you dealt with your student loan? If not, tell me, my dad is familiar with the bank, just one phone call will do."
Gao Fu Shuai's words were full of sarcasm, but unexpectedly, Zhou Jian didn't show any signs of embarrassment, instead he smiled faintly: "Are you showing off your sense of superiority?"
Gao Fushuai slightly furrowed his brow, he hadn't expected Zhou Jian to still be able to laugh at this time and in this situation. How could this guy's face be so thick? Didn't he feel ashamed?
Good kid, no wonder you can always stick to Wenren Huiyin like a leech. If it weren't for Wenren Huiyin being present, he would have taken action to send Zhou Jian back to the revival point by now. He suppressed the fire in his heart and asked coldly: "What are you laughing at?"
"You can laugh at others, but aren't you also always laughing at me? The difference is, some people are laughed at for a moment, while others are laughed at for a lifetime."
"What do you mean?" The handsome rich guy's face didn't look too good now.
"Don't you understand? This society can do without shame, morality, justice, and friendship, but it will never be short of fairness. Now, some people can bully others with their power, and some can show off here because their parents have worked hard for them. That's not unfair, but have you ever thought about whether your family will continue to thrive in the future? Will your sons and grandsons be able to maintain their sense of superiority like you do now? Can they still tell their classmates: 'My dad is familiar with the bank, just a phone call and it's done'?"
The rich and handsome voice paused for a moment, then immediately changed to a disdainful expression. "Hmph, poor people will always be poor, do you think you can turn over a new leaf? A person's position is determined at birth, even if I don't do anything, you'll never be able to touch my toes!"
Zhou Jian remained unimpressed, "You're wrong, I'm poor but I haven't lost my ambition. You're rich but you've lost your drive. Thirty years on the east bank of the river, thirty years on the west bank. Ten years from now, we'll stand here again and see if I can reach your toes or if you can reach mine!"
Zhou Jian's words were loud and clear, even the distant Long River Sunset couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, and when looking at Zhou Jian again, his gaze had a few more different shades.
He certainly wouldn't think that Zhou Jian could catch up with Gao Peng within ten years, but this spirit of a newborn calf not fearing tigers was quite to his taste. His sister's vision wasn't bad either.
In fact, for Zhou Jian, ten years is already a very conservative number. If nothing unexpected happens, he can catch up with Gao Peng in half a year. He says this because he doesn't want to shock the world too much.
"Alright, kid, I've remembered what you said. It's been too long, ten years is a long time. This winter break, we'll have a class reunion and I want to see the results of your hard work. Let's go." The tall, rich, and handsome guy was also messed with by Zhou Jian today, so he didn't feel like staying here either, and directly left with his two followers.
