Source Of Calamity - Ch 11
“Uncle Qin, please continue chatting, I’m going back out.” Shen Zhen spoke in a respectful manner that also held intimacy.
Qin Xing smiled and said, “Go, if you meet a like-minded friend, you can invite him to be a guest at home.”
Everyone couldn’t help cursing out loud in their hearts.
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
It was an honor to be a guest at the Qin family. The Qin family never entertained guests at home. The security measures were very good so don’t even mention going inside. Just walking around a few times on the perimeter and security guards would come to ask you what you were up to.
Even if it was a relationship between juniors, it was still a good thing for the children in the family to be able to go visit the Qin family!
Everyone looked at Shen Zhen with even more warm eyes, hoping that he would be like-minded with their own children.
As for Chen Zhongmin? This person didn’t come back after going to the restroom, and it was very likely that he had gone to find his son.
The several toadies didn’t dare to speak since they came in. They stood behind Shen Zhen obediently, and when Shen Zhen went out, they followed.
As soon as they exited the door of the lounge, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do.
The most astute one among them said quickly: “Young Master Shen, why didn’t you say that you are from the Qin family? Look at us, we have eyes but just failed to recognize Mount Tai, so please don’t bother quibbling with us.”
Shen Zhen smiled at him, and that smile really had nothing to do with gentleness at all: “You guys are really interesting.”
That person was also shameless: “We will definitely treat you as our own big brother in the future, Young Master Shen!”
Shen Zhen: “Don’t, I can’t afford it. You are Young Master Chen’s left and right guardians, the Four Great Kings, and a small character like me, dare not think of it.”
“Young Master Shen…..” That person had a bitter face and started to cry out his misery, “Our family depends on doing business with the Chen family, this is just all for the sake of living, and we dare not offend Young Master Chen.”
Shen Zhen didn’t fall for this at all: “Hehe.”
After sneering, Shen Zhen stepped forward and left these toadies behind him.
Was there any essential difference between an accomplice and a murderer?
They already dared to act like this in the face of people from small and less powerful families, and when they go out, what kind of dirty tricks would they pull in the face of ordinary people with no power or wealth at all?
Who was clean in this circle?
Chen Zhongmin was lecturing his son.
“Do you know who he is?!” Chen Zhongmin suppressed his voice, but he was full of anger. He was not a good-tempered person and had a son exactly like him.
Chen Nanping rolled his eyes: “The surname is Shen, who could he be? The King of Heaven?”
Chen Zhongmin resisted the urge to kick Chen Nanping: “He is Mr. Qin’s nephew!”
Chen Nanping was also dumbfounded at this time: “No way, could the Qin family still have a nephew surnamed Shen?”
Chen Zhongmin: “Who knows what’s going on here, let me tell you, you must settle this matter well, you should apologize then apologize, otherwise I have more than one son.”
Chen Nanping squeezed his fist and lowered his head: “Got it.”
“Ai! Xiao Zhen!” As soon as he saw Shen Zhen, Chen Zhongmin walked over with a smile and grabbed Shen Zhen’s hand, “Uncle has already taught this kid a lesson, he is just too stupid, don’t take it to heart, Uncle will have him apologize to you.”
“Come here!” Chen Zhongmin turned his head and shouted at Chen Nanping.
Chen Nanping took a deep breath and walked over with a smile full of apology, very able to pull his face down. He said to Shen Zhen, “Young Master Shen, I didn’t know how to speak just now, I’m sorry.”
Shen Zhen: “Wait.”
The Chen father and son: “?”
Shen Zhen stepped aside, patted Li Jiaxing, who was sitting on the sofa pondering, and said in a calm tone, “Come with me.”
Li Jiaxing was at a loss, but Shen Zhen didn’t explain it to him, so he just dumbly followed Shen Zhen.
Li Jiaxing’s face turned pale when he saw the Chen father and son pair.
What was going on?
Chen Nanping not only bullied others himself, but also pulled out his father to bully others?
Was he really going to lose the Li family’s face today?
“Uncle Chen…..” Barely after these two words had fallen, Li Jiaxing heard Shen Zhen’s voice.
Shen Zhen: “What you just said to me, say it to him again.”
Say what? Li Jiaxing was very nervous.
Chen Nanping gritted his teeth: “I did something wrong before, I’m sorry.”
Li Jiaxing: “…..” He was dumbfounded.
Shen Zhen looked at Li Jiaxing: “What do you say?”
Li Jiaxing took a deep breath and very much doubted that he was dreaming now, but he quickly recovered and waved his hand: “It’s all right, it’s all a misunderstanding, just clear up the confusion and everything’s well.”
Although Chen Zhongmin was displeased that his son apologized to a person like Li Jiaxing, he did not show any discomfort on the surface.
“En.” Shen Zhen said to Li Jiaxing, “then you can go eat cake, I’ll come to you later.”
When Li Jiaxing left, his hands and feet were stiff.
It was not that Shen Zhen appreciated Li Jiaxing very much, but just now Li Jiaxing wanted to protect him when he himself was at a disadvantage. Although Shen Zhen was to hold grudges, he also remembered when others treated him well, so he should repay him for the favor, and no one owes anyone anything.
“Young Master Shen.” Chen Nanping breathed a sigh of relief. He poured two glasses of champagne and handed a glass to Shen Zhen, “We can be regarded as laughing and putting aside our grievances.”
As he spoke, he touched his glass with Shen Zhen’s.
Chen Zhongmin breathed a sigh of relief, and smiled with reassurance.
“Don’t.” Shen Zhen said suddenly, “No one is laughing and putting aside grievances with you.”
The smile on Chen Nanping’s face could hardly be maintained.
“Although it is said that people can’t quibble with dogs, I can sometimes pretend that I don’t know the other party is a dog.” Shen Zhen said with a smile, “I will drink this glass of champagne, but there is another bottle on the table. Your hair is so oily, you can use the wine to wash it.”
Shen Zhen turned to look at Chen Zhongmin: “Uncle Chen, don’t you think so?”
Chen Nanping exploded: “Shen Zhen, don’t bully people too much!”
Chen Zhongmin also shouted: “Chen Nanping! Didn’t you hear what Young Master Shen said?!”
Chen Nanping looked at his father in disbelief: “Dad?”
Chen Zhongmin glared at Chen Nanping angrily: “Hurry up, don’t let Young Master Shen say it a second time!”
Their Chen family’s business had always followed the path of the Qin family. The Qin family opened the channel for them, and they could sit and earn money. However, the Chen family was not of much importance to the Qin family, and could always be replaced, so Chen Zhongmin couldn’t gamble on how much weight this Young Master Shen had in Qin Xing’s heart, if he lost the bet, and Qin Xing really retaliated, what should their family do?
The world would lack capable workers, excellent scientists, and intelligent researchers, but there would never be a shortage of people who want to make money.
The downfall of a Chen family was of little importance to society and the business world.
The Chen family could not shake the Qin family, just as ants could not shake an elephant.
Chen Nanping walked to the table with difficulty. Many thoughts flashed in his mind. He remembered that he had been arrogant and domineering outside for so many years. No one had ever dared to say no to him. He could act humble and inferior in front of the heirs of big and affluent families, but also arrogant in front of people who were not as good as his own family. He was like a duck to water in this world that belonged to him.
How…..did he fall into the hands of someone who he had never even heard the name of.
He picked up the bottle of champagne, came back to Shen Zhen, raised the champagne to the top of his head, the bottle facing down, and the champagne poured out, soaking his face, and even his clothes and pants were not spared.
This move attracted the attention of many people.
“What happened to Chen Nanping? Did he go crazy?”
“Even if he went crazy, he wouldn’t do it here. Didn’t you see, his dad is standing next to him.”
“Who is the person across from him?”
“I know, I just heard Yang Changsheng say that his name is Shen Zhen.”
“Shen Zhen?”
“I haven’t heard of it, this Shen Zhen could actually make him pour himself a whole body of wine?”
“Don’t say that either, maybe he has some kind of backing.”
“Definitely not one to be offended anyway.”
“Let’s observe the situation first.”
Chen Nanping’s hair was all wet, and the champagne droplets spilled down the tips of his hair. He looked up at Shen Zhen like a defeated dog: “Young Master Shen, are you satisfied?”
Chen Zhongmin also said: “Young Master Shen, you see, Nan Ping also knows he’s wrong.”
Shen Zhen showed no expression, his eyes calm as if the other party’s actions didn’t seem to make him happy in the least. He waved his hand with little interest: “Okay, Uncle Chen, educate him well after returning home, don’t let him educate people all over the world.”
A sarcastic smile appeared on Shen Zhen’s face: “This time, he was going to notify my uncle, and maybe someone else will be notified next time.”
Shen Zhen said, “The Chen family’s education is truly strict indeed.”
Chen Zhongmin also smiled, but his smile was extraordinarily soft: “He was spoiled when he was a child. I’ll definitely lecture him well when we go back.”
Chen Nanping lowered his head and did not speak.
Shen Zhen was no longer interested: “I’m going to go over there, Uncle Chen can enjoy the party slowly.”
After speaking, he turned and left, heading in the direction of Li Jiaxing.
Chen Nanping clenched his fists tightly, his eyes were on fire: “Dad, you just let him humiliate me like this?”
Chen Zhongmin pulled him to the partition, gave him a slap. This slap from a grown man with all his strength resulted in a palm print quickly appearing on Chen Nanping’s face. Chen Zhongmin said viciously, “You still know that you are my son, how did I teach you? I asked you to learn to put on an act no matter who you face, you look down on them in your heart, but you can’t show it on the face, even if you bully people, you have to be smarter about it!”
“Who can be dealt with, who can’t be dealt with, you have to know in your heart! You don’t even know the details of the other party, yet you dare to find fault with others?” Chen Zhongmin almost growled, “I tell you, that people are even willing to be a dog for you, it’s all because your father, I, am being a dog for others!”
Chen Nanping’s eyes were a little wet: “Dad…..”
Chen Zhongmin’s anger faded and he sighed: “Son, Dad is getting old, and I will let you be in charge in a few years. You have to understand a truth. If you have no power or ability, you have no right to speak. Today, your father bent over for someone in my son’s generation, and tomorrow you will have to bend over to a junior below you.”
“If you don’t judge the situation, you don’t remain cautious everywhere, today is just a bottle of champagne, what about later?”
Chen Nanping closed his eyes: “Dad, I understand.”
“I will find a chance to apologize in private again. So long as he won’t accept it, even if I have to kneel to him, I will kneel.”
Chen Zhongmin patted his son on the shoulder.
The father and son did not speak again.
Li Jiaxing leaned over to Shen Zhen: “You are so powerful? Even Uncle Chen listens to you? Who the hell are you?”
You c an fi nd t he la te st cha pte rs at ( th e ir on tr ee bl oo ms. c o m )
Shen Zhen put his index finger on his lips, his eyes slightly curved, and said softly, “Secret.”
Shen Zhen’s eyes looked at Li Jiaxing. His eyes were very beautiful, standard phoenix eyes. When he was not smiling, he seemed to be aloof. When he smiled, he was gentle and tender as water. Li Jiaxing felt that his heart stopped for a few seconds, and he moved his own eyes away in a hurry.
AN: Li Jiaxing: “F**k, this is what a heart attack feels like.”
