Qin Sheng preferred to travel by rail rather than flying. It wasn't because he was terrified of heights or anything else; it was so he could take in the beauty along the way. He might sometimes monitor strangers from anywhere to find intriguing folks.
Actually, the main issue was that he didn't have enough money to fly.
The journey took seventeen hours. Qin Sheng had purchased a hard sleeper ticket. There were a few pupils inside the carriage who had returned to school following the National Day vacations. They were all students from the Northwest provinces, talking about how great Shanghai was, and how they wouldn't be returning home after graduation.
This reminds Qin Sheng of his own trip to Shanghai for college. He also rides the train and is full of curiosity and looking forward to everything. It was also the first time he left his province. He had been carrying the luggage alone for four years.
After staying in Shanghai for four years, what is Qin Sheng's final conclusion? Better is better, worse is worse. Most people exist, not live.
After regaining consciousness, Qin Sheng and the children talked. The universities they attend are pretty good and they are probably the best students in their hometown. In these places, only research will give them a better chance at life. Nowadays, many people say that studying is useless, but in Qin Sheng's eyes, reading is the best solution for most ordinary people. It may not allow you to become rich, or have a good job, but it will give you more options and better choices in the future, and it will also allow you to meet better.
Whether it's the books you've read, the roads you've traveled, the people you've met, or the things you've been through, good or bad, they will eventually bear fruit for you.
But most of the time, Qin Sheng doesn't like to argue. He just sat in the driveway and watched the scenery outside as they hurried past. When he arrived in Shanghai, it was already dark and the sky was a bit dark.
Stepping on this land again, Tan Thang took a deep breath of the air that was no longer pure. It's been almost three years since he left this place. Memories of the past replayed in his mind.
Qin Sheng really wanted to say how wonderful it would be if things could not change at first sight. "Shanghai, I'm back!" Tan Thang shouted. Passers-by all looked at Qin Sheng as if he was crazy. But Qin Sheng doesn't care about other people's opinions.
Grandpa said that Shanghai was his prosperous place. Qin Sheng didn't know if he could climb up here. He took a bus from the station to his location, Tomson Golf Villa, located on Long Dong Street in Pudong. He was about to meet an old friend again, so he promised this person one thing.
Although he has been in Shanghai for four years, Qin Sheng has never visited the city. If it wasn't for his grandfather to tell him that his blessing is Shanghai, he definitely wouldn't have come back to this city.
Tomson Golf used to be one of the most expensive properties in Shanghai. People who can live in an area like Pudong are some of the best in town.
Qin Sheng is about to meet one of them.
Qin Sheng took a taxi to the entrance of Tomson Golf. After the security guard was notified, a bodyguard came out to let him in. Qin Sheng walked on the street without saying a word. After a few minutes, they finally reached the old friend's mansion. It was a three-storey villa, with an area of nearly one thousand square meters, surrounded by walls and iron railings. There is a private garden and a swimming pool.
At this time, the villa is brightly lit. When Qin Sheng entered, he met an old man who was bowing his head to take care of the flowers. The bodyguard bowed his head and said, "Elder Wu"
Qin Sheng also slightly bowed his head. The old man only looked at Qin Sheng for a moment, then lost interest in him.
After Qin Sheng entered the mansion, the guard pointed to a nearby room and said, "Master Han is expecting you in the study. "
Qin Sheng smiled and said thank you before going to the study.
Someone is tapping or hitting a door.
Just sitting here, not doing anything.
After some time, a man who is not young anymore said with a low voice, "Please enter. "
Qin Sheng opened the door and walked inside.
He noticed that the room was full of smoke and people couldn't open their eyes because they might start coughing. Some people may believe that the room was burning.
On the couch, there was a man who was a bit overweight and in his middle age. He was smoking. The ashtray had a bunch of cigarette butts in it, and there were a bunch of them on the ground.
"Wow, Qin Sheng, you're finally here. " The man looked up and was shocked to see Qin Sheng. He extinguished his cigarette fast and went towards Qin Sheng, laughing a lot.
Qin Sheng laughed, "Uncle Han, it's been a year and three months since we last saw each other at Mount Kunlun, isn't it. "
Hey kid, you mentioned that you will definitely come to Shanghai later on to pursue your goals. When the time arrives, you will find me right away. I thought you were not telling the truth to me for a long time. "I didn't think you would really come. " the man known as Uncle Han by Qin Sheng chuckled loudly.
Qin Sheng got pulled onto the couch by the man. He poured tea into the teapot for both of them and said, "Uncle Han, you told me that if someone can't do something, they shouldn't make promises too easily. " Young people don't always grasp the concept of being honest, but as a person grows older and gains more experience, they realize the significance of honesty. Also, you helped me a lot and saved me from a difficult situation.
"You naughty child. " Uncle Han pointed at Qin Sheng, not sure whether to find it funny or be upset. "When did you come here. "
"I arrived right away after getting off the train. "
You are still very authentic. Uncle Han said that he has been busy lately and will welcome Qin Sheng another time. He patted Qin Sheng's shoulder.
Uncle Han, also known as Han Guoping, had another name before. Qin Sheng never checked what he was doing. He mentioned that he worked as a businessman. In the past, Qin Sheng encountered him while he was traveling at Mount Kunlun. The two of them would visit the same location, so they went there together. Qin Sheng was too young and didn't have much experience. If Han Guoping hadn't been there, he would have died in the avalanche.
"Uncle Han, is something wrong. If you need any help, just let me know. " Qin Sheng and Han Guoping are friends, even though there is a significant age difference between them. That's why Qin Sheng came to find him right after getting to Shanghai.
Han Guoping sighed, then lit another cigarette and said, "It's just a little problem, everyone goes through good and bad times in life. "
But then he said, "Since you asked, Little Qin, I might really need your help with something. " "Do you think it's easy for you. "
"Please explain to me, Uncle Han. " Qin Sheng said with a serious expression on his face.
Han Guoping gave Qin Sheng a cigarette and they both lit it while Qin Sheng expressed gratitude. He said, "I upset someone I don't get along with, and they have been trying to confront me recently. " I'm worried that he might be mean to my daughter, so I want you to keep her safe. "Stay patient until the bad weather goes away. "
Han Guoping appeared calm and composed, but Qin Sheng could sense the unease in his voice. Qin Sheng pondered and asked, "Uncle Han, do you have faith in me. And does she agree. "
In my whole life, I've wrongly judged some people, but I'm confident that I won't misjudge you. If the problem ends, your child can come to me. You don't have to be concerned about her. "I will inform her that I think she needs someone to help her," Han Guoping said casually and seriously. He appeared tired and his eyes were red.
Right now, there was a knock on the door and someone came inside. It was the person who takes care of the villa's cleaning and chores. He looked down and said, "Master Han, the people who were invited are here. "
"Tell him to come to the study room. Also, ask Han Bing to come over because I have something to tell her," Han Ping said calmly.
After the butler went away, he told Qin Sheng, "Sorry, I have some other things to take care of, so I can't stay with you. " You recently got off the train and arrived, so you certainly haven't eaten dinner yet. The kitchen has food prepared for you, or if you have a specific preference, they can cook it for you. My daughter is coming. I will find you at a later time.
Qin Sheng agreed and happily went away.
In the restaurant, the nanny gave him some food and steamed bread, which was exactly what Qin Sheng wanted. He preferred to eat steamed buns instead of rice. Han Guo Ping was also from the Northwest and really enjoyed eating steamed buns.
Usually, Qin Sheng eats very fast, but today, he ate slowly and carefully looked at everyone in the villa. No matter if they were protecting him or taking care of the kids, he wouldn't forget any of them. This was something he was used to doing because it helped him stay alive.
Being careless or not taking strangers seriously can be extremely dangerous and may even lead to death.
Qin Sheng spent 30 minutes eating his meal when a very attractive woman came into the villa. He finally let go of his chopsticks.
This beautiful person is likely the daughter of Uncle Han, whose name is Han Bing. He was surprised that she was a very pretty little witch. It was understandable that Uncle Han was very worried. Any man would feel extremely angry or furious when confronted with her. This is especially true for those desperate individuals.
"It's really late, why is that old man searching for me. It's so irritating. " Han Bing complained unhappily after going inside the villa.
She has medium-length short hair that ends at her shoulders. She is wearing a tight gray T-shirt and black shorts, along with stylish slippers. She wearing a Bvlgari snake necklace, a special edition red Blancpain watch, and a YSL bag on her back.
A really wealthy and attractive person.
Right after She went up the stairs, the nanny came down to call for Qin Sheng. "The boss is looking for you. "
Qin Sheng was going towards the study when he heard Han Bing shouting, "I don't want a bodyguard, you're getting in the way of my privacy. "
"Stop speaking foolishly to me, I am your father. " If you don't want my help, that's okay. I will quickly take my money out of your company, stop your credit cards from working, and reclaim your car and house. "Starting now, you will stay home and obey," Han Guoping said in a furious manner.
Right now, Qin Sheng entered. Han Guoping quickly smiled. Please, please, please, Qin Sheng, come here. This is my daughter, Han Bing. You should become acquainted with one another.
"I am Qin Sheng, it's nice to meet you. " Qin Sheng reached out his hand to shake hands, but Han Bing did not shake his hand in return. Qin Sheng felt a little uneasy, but he understood and pulled his hand back.
Han Guo Ping said with embarrassment, "I have been overly indulgent with her since she was a child. " In the future, I will rely on you to keep her safe. I will ask the butler to give you some money, and you can ask him for more if you need it. Han Bing lives in Huarun Nine Mile Bund. I live in Shimao Riviera Garden, which is across from her place. The butler will give you the key, and there is everything you need inside. This way, you can easily lift her and let her go. "Please go and locate the butler. I have a few more things I need to say to her. "
Qin Sheng left to search for the butler, while Han Guoping kept talking with his entitled daughter.
When Qin Sheng received the key and money from the butler, Han Bing had already left the study. When she saw Qin Sheng, she quickly called out, "Hey, let's go, buddy. " "Bring me back. "
The butler didn't know if he should laugh or cry, but Qin Sheng wasn't mad. It didn't make sense to argue with a beautiful and wealthy person who wasn't fully mature yet and didn't have their father's support.
Han Bing drove a really fancy red car called a Maserati GranTurismo. After she walked out of the house, she handed the key to Qin Sheng and sat in the seat next to him. She had a happy look on her face as she gazed at Qin Sheng.
Qin Sheng had never been in a fancy car like this before, but he stayed calm. After thinking for a short time, he turned on the car. Han Bing was very angry, but she tried hard to not show it as she looked at Qin Sheng.
As they were traveling, the two of them had nothing to talk about.
After reaching a point 9 miles away from the Huarun Nine Mile Bund, Qin Sheng took Han Bing inside. Han Bing said strongly, "Come get me at exactly 9 AM. " If you come even a second late, go away.
Then she shut the door.
Qin Sheng did not know what else to do but smile sadly before he went away.
After going downstairs, he didn't drive back to Shimao Riviera Garden. Instead, he parked the Maserati on the side of the road and hailed a taxi to the Bund by the Huangpu River.
According to Qin Sheng, if a man wants to show he has ambition, he should explore the Chang'an Street in Beijing and visit the Bund in Shanghai. That would make you really want it.
Did Qin Sheng have any goals in life. Yes
Did he want things. Yes
He thought that if a person doesn't live a remarkable life and achieve success, then their life would be meaningless.
Everyone could choose how they wanted to live their life. Many people may prefer to live a normal life.
But Qin Sheng did not want that.
On the left side, there was a mixed and interesting view of the Bund area, while on the right side, there was a busy and vibrant view of the tall buildings in Pudong. Qin Sheng was standing next to the Huangpu River. He lit a cigarette and took a deep breath before blowing out the smoke slowly.
Qin Sheng was observing the busy and lively city. He squinted his eyes and said quietly, "Someday, this city will never forget me. "
