Chapter 114: Aboveboard (23)

The Spring Festival in 01 was in January.

Just one week after New Year’s Day, the university began to take exams, and the students who had finished the exams began to go on vacation one after another.

Su Mingzhe took Li Ansheng and left Yanjing almost by escaping.

However, after returning to Suzhou City, Su Mingzhe could not escape the poisoning of the social circle.

I received invitations to various cocktail parties and dinners, so countless that it was really annoying.

Lu Youguang couldn't attend alone.

Su Mingzhe asked Liang Hongyu to come back to help share the pressure.

As a result, this bitch was angry that Su Mingzhe forced her to withdraw her shares from Hualong Technology. Not only did she not come back, she even made sarcastic remarks on the phone.

He doesn't even listen to his boss. This is outrageous.

Su Mingzhe was so angry that he called Yang Zhentao and yelled at him.

Unfortunately, since getting married, Yang Zhentao has become dominated by his wife. If Liang Hongyu tells him to go west, he dares not go east; if she tells him to chase a dog, she dares not to hit a chicken.

Even though Su Mingzhe made all kinds of sarcastic remarks, he remained calm and ignored Su Mingzhe completely.

From this we can see that the friendship between the two people has long been in tatters.

Unable to find anyone to attend in his place, Su Mingzhe had to go on stage himself.

Fortunately, there are not many drinking parties and meetings in Gusu City that Su Mingzhe cannot refuse.

On average, there are only three or four guests a day.

The female secretary Zhang Jing was quite capable and arranged everything in an orderly manner without any panic.

Su Mingzhe was so busy with work that he couldn't even take care of his family.

Some relatives and friends who had never met me at home suddenly showed up at my house.

There are no adults in the Su family, so Li Ansheng, the fiancée, has to deal with it.

In Su Mingzhe's villa, Su Mingyu saw Li Ansheng sending away a group of guests and couldn't help asking:
"Sister-in-law, my brother is so rich, why is there so many social engagements that he can't turn down?"

In Su Mingyu's opinion, having money means freedom.

The more money you have, the less you are bound by external constraints.

However, Su Mingzhe's current situation is in huge contradiction with Su Mingyu's cognition.

Even though his eldest brother is the richest man in the country and the richest Chinese, he still has to attend one cocktail party after another.

This feels more cautious and laborious than before when I had no money.

"Because your brother is just rich."

Li Ansheng replied with a helpless tone, pulled his sister-in-law to sit down, and started to reason with her.

Ordinary people often say that having money is not everything, but having no money is absolutely impossible.

It seems that having money can reduce a lot of worries.

In fact, after Su Mingzhe became rich, Li Ansheng felt that apart from the fact that there were no restrictions on spending money, there were not many changes in other areas.

There is just as much sorrow as there should be.

They say he is the richest Chinese or the richest man in the country, but in fact, when it comes to personal relationships and social circles, Su Mingzhe is not even a top figure.

Let me put it this way, in China, there are many companies whose business scale is at the trillion level.

Although the bosses of these companies do not have shares in the companies, their power and influence are real.

This kind of big guy is the kind who doesn't show off.

There are probably hundreds of big guys like this across the country.

Su Mingzhe is just a younger brother in front of them.

In addition, there are some famous families.

In the eyes of the famous families,
A thousand years of inheritance is what makes it noble.

Only a family of scholars can be called romantic.

A man who is unrivaled in the country is called a hero.

Su Mingzhe had some money in his pocket, but in the eyes of these famous families, he was just a nouveau riche, a country rich man.

Of course, this is the previous Su Mingzhe.

Last year, after Su Mingzhe developed the Chinese operating system, in the eyes of the famous families, Su Mingzhe was considered a respectable figure.

It is precisely because of this that this year Su Mingzhe received more invitations to cocktail parties that he could not refuse.

In ancient times, Gusu City was considered to be a place of great wealth and outstanding people.

Many traditions have been passed down.

These families have a history of at least a hundred years, and the oldest can be traced back to the Song Dynasty a thousand years ago.

The foundation possessed by these families cannot be compared with Su Mingzhe's opening of a few companies.

It’s just that these families usually don’t show off their power, and at most they only show off their power when the family is in trouble.

At the cocktail party Su Mingzhe attended today, he met an old man who was said to be the head of a branch of the Lin family in Gusu City.

Before this, Su Mingzhe didn't know what the Lin family did.

But a business tycoon nearby told Su Mingzhe that a street next to a middle school was one of the Lin family's businesses.

After hearing this, Su Mingzhe estimated in his mind that the street was located near the city center, with hundreds of shops and more than thirty residential buildings.

If this street is really one of the Lin family’s properties.

The Lin family's assets are worth tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of US dollars.

Thinking of this, Su Mingzhe felt that his net worth of more than 20 billion US dollars didn't seem that great.

At the banquet, Su Mingzhe's low-key and modest attitude won him a lot of praise.

Don't show off your wealth. This sentence no longer has any meaning to Su Mingzhe.

Because everyone in the world knows that Su Mingzhe is the third richest man in the world.

However, in order not to cause some people to feel unbalanced and then do something irrational.

Su Mingzhe can only try his best to keep a low profile and treat people with a humble and modest attitude.

This is just like Li Chaoren going out with only a street-side watch worth a few hundred dollars.

Even though Li Chaoren has a drawer full of watches worth millions of dollars at home, he only wears watches worth a few hundred dollars when he goes out in public.

That's being low-key.

The same is true for Su Mingzhe. He has basically put away all the luxury brand clothes and watches that his family bought for him, and at most uses them at home or when he goes to work.

When attending public occasions, Su Mingzhe always dresses very simply.

At least from the outside, it doesn't look luxurious or decadent at all.

After a cocktail party, Su Mingzhe took a car back home.

"Husband, I'm back."

Li Ansheng ran over, took off Su Mingzhe's coat, changed his shoes into slippers, and then changed into home clothes.

When Su Mingzhe sat down, Lin Qiyue had already handed him the brewed Longjing tea.

"It's better to be at home."

You don't have to worry about people's faces outside. When you return home, you have two beautiful women to accompany you, so you don't have to worry about any conspiracies or plots.

Su Mingzhe just wanted to lie in this gentle place and never wake up again.

"Of course it's better at home," Li Ansheng sat over and smelled the alcohol on the man. He couldn't help but said distressedly, "You should drink less alcohol outside. You said it yourself that alcohol is not a good thing."

"There's nothing I can do about it. Socializing is like this. It's unavoidable."

Su Mingzhe hugged Li Ansheng, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Lin Qiyue beside him. This girl didn't look fat, but for some reason, she felt plump to the touch.

Lin Qiyue felt that the man had bad intentions, her face flushed with shame, and she quickly got up and left to go back to the guest room.

"Bastard."

When Li Ansheng saw her good friend leaving, she immediately got angry and bit her boyfriend on the shoulder.

"It's not the first day you know I'm bad."

Su Mingzhe was so bad that he felt justified. He put his girlfriend in his arms with one hand and walked upstairs in a few steps. He was going to teach this naughty girl a lesson tonight.

The next day, Su Mingzhe was woken up by his girlfriend blowing in his ears.

"Wife, it's not even daybreak yet."

Li Ansheng held down the man's hand that was about to do something naughty, and said with a slightly resentful tone:

"July has gotten up to exercise. Didn't you say you would teach her Tai Chi? Why don't you go down quickly?"

When Su Mingzhe heard his girlfriend's words, he immediately came to his senses, his eyes sparkling with light: "Ansheng, do you really agree?"

Li Ansheng glanced at the man unhappily, then shrank back into the bed and said:
"If you don't agree, what can I do? You're right. I want to be with you and don't want to be separated from July. I can only make you happy. Please go down quickly. If you wait any longer, I will regret it."

"Ansheng, you are so wise."

Su Mingzhe quickly kissed his girlfriend on the forehead. Of course, he didn't really jump out of bed immediately to find Lin Qiyue and tell her the good news.

Li Ansheng must not be feeling very comfortable that he agreed for the three of them to be together in the future.

Su Mingzhe has to comfort her first.

When it comes to relationships, whoever takes the initiative is more likely to get hurt.

Li Ansheng and Lin Qiyue suffered losses in this regard.

The only consolation is that the relationship between Li Ansheng and Lin Qiyue is much deeper than Su Mingzhe imagined.

In the movie, Li Ansheng gave Su Jiaming to Lin Qiyue.

Now, Li Ansheng has agreed to share a boyfriend with Lin Qiyue.

The relationship between the two women gave Su Mingzhe the illusion that July and Ansheng were true love.

Su Mingzhe actually felt a little sour when he thought about it.

During the day, I took my two girlfriends to a passionate confession show.

Then at night, the two girlfriends pushed him out of the room.

I already have two girlfriends, but I still have to stay alone in an empty house.

Is it really necessary to go so far?

Su Mingzhe took a cold shower before getting into bed.

In this cold winter, I have to take cold showers to cool down. I am really unique.

When I woke up the next day, I touched my side and confirmed that neither of my two girlfriends had come over in the middle of the night.

I left the door of my room open all night and waited for half the night in vain.

After getting up and washing up, Su Mingzhe saw Lin Qiyue practicing the Tai Chi that he had taught yesterday.

Lin Qiyue is a bit plump, and her movements are a bit stiff.

Su Mingzhe hurried downstairs to tutor Lin Qiyue and help her practice Tai Chi.

"Qiuyue, come here, lift your feet, I'll hold your waist, don't worry you won't fall."

Su Mingzhe coached for an hour, and Lin Qiyue finally completed three complete punches, which marked the end of the morning practice.

After the three of them had breakfast, Su Mingzhe didn't want to go out today.

Because today is New Year's Eve, the company is on holiday, so Liang Hongyu will be on duty.

Staying at home, Su Mingzhe thought he could be hugged by girls on both sides, but the girl he was hugged by was Li Ansheng.

The girl Li Ansheng sat in the middle, with her legs in woolen tights tucked into the man's arms, and her head resting on her best sister's soft thighs.

"It's great that the three of us are together."

Lin Qiyue listened to Li Ansheng's nonsense, her face blushed, her body stiffened, and she dared not move.

Su Mingzhe was also quite comfortable. Although he couldn't hug girls left and right, he could be considered to have two girlfriends openly.

Happy times pass quickly.

After the Spring Festival, Li Ansheng is going back to Yenching University to study.

Before leaving, Li Ansheng took Lin Qiyue by the hand and told her to take safety measures and never listen to men's nonsense about the "safe period".

The safe period is not necessarily safe. If something really goes wrong, women will be the ones who suffer the most.

After hearing this, Lin Qiyue blushed again and nodded in agreement.

This time when they said goodbye at the train station, the two girls didn't cry anymore.

But I still feel reluctant to leave.

The next time we meet will be another half a year later.

By then, everything had changed.
