Chapter 900 No wonder everyone likes to show off, so cool!!
Seeing that Yang Zixi wanted to pour more wine, Chen An raised his hand to stop her.
"What's wrong?" Yang Zixi asked in a puzzled manner.
"I'm afraid you've drunk too much!!"
Yang Zixi's tone was full of temptation, "If a woman doesn't get drunk, a man won't have a chance. Isn't it a good thing that I'm drunk?"
"Once bitten by a snake, I'm afraid of ropes for ten years."
Yang Zixi was curious, "Oh, could it be that after getting drunk, he left behind some difficult romantic debts?"
"Not really. I remember when I was very poor, a female friend invited me to dinner. She drank too much and I ended up paying the bill. She spent almost all my money, which resulted in me being unable to afford a single serving of bread for the next half month..."
“Pfft, hahahaha!!”
Yang Zixi laughed while holding her stomach. She didn't expect Chen An to have such an embarrassing experience. She couldn't help but feel closer to him...
Chen An pulled the corners of his mouth, if he was laughing, it would be funny, why was he shaking for no reason, two big thunders were about to burst out, he was not at peace at all! !
"No, is it really that funny? Your sense of humour is too low, isn't it?"
Yang Zixi covered her mouth to hold back her laughter and teased, "No, Chen An, have you ever thought that he might be pretending to be drunk on purpose for your sake?"
"You don't even need to tell me that. Of course I know. If she didn't want me but was trying to get away with it, I wouldn't use my entire fortune to pay for it."
Yang Zixi nodded, "You are right, so what happened next?"
"Later!!" Chen An knocked on the cup.
Yang Zixi quickly poured it for him.
He picked up the cup and drank it all, his tone somewhat melancholy, "I failed to ask for money for the meal, and was fired by her manager's second uncle instead!!"
“Pfft, hahahaha!!”
"Now you know it's not easy to offend women, right?"
Chen An nodded in agreement, took Yang Zixi's plate, and picked up a bunch of vegetables and meat.
"So, don't waste delicious food. If you want to get drunk and run away with the bill, you're wrong!"
"Thank you..." Looking at the full plate, Yang Zixi couldn't help but suspect that Chen An's story just now was fake, and his purpose was to persuade her to drink less. This man was not only humorous, but also very attentive and gentle.
The atmosphere became ambiguous. Yang Zixi ate in small bites, glanced at Chen An from time to time, then quickly lowered her head, showing the shyness that is unique to a young girl who is just beginning to fall in love.
Mr. Chen poured himself a drink, and occasionally looked at each other in the right way. The air gradually warmed up, which matched the steam from the pot even better!
After finishing most of the food on the plate, Yang Zixi put down her chopsticks, rubbed her stomach and looked depressed, "I'm so full. I remember when I was in school, every time I came here with my classmates, a whole goose plus a lot of side dishes was not enough. Every time I was still not satisfied."
Many of a person’s behaviors can fully reflect his or her inner state.
Take dating as an example. The partner a woman chooses should be downward compatible or have equal status in the relationship.
Then there is a high probability that after a period of time, this woman will gain weight, or become lazy, and start to sloppily dress up and put on makeup.
On the contrary, if a woman chooses to climb up the social ladder, she will become extra cautious, fearing that she will get fat if she eats too much, that she will lose her figure if she doesn't exercise, that she will be disliked if she doesn't take care of her skin, and that she will be disliked for speaking too casually and being superficial.
With this mentality, how can you possibly gain weight? You will only become more refined and more outstanding, and it will be harder to find a mate who is lower than you. You will not even look down on them.
Chen An smiled and asked, "Xiao Xi, I just heard you say that you are ready to start a new life. Do you have any plans for work?"
"No, to be honest, I've been working at a magazine since I graduated. I've been running errands all these years and haven't learned any skills. But my standards have become higher and higher. To say that I live paycheck to paycheck is probably too high a call."
"Oh? So emotionally, are you ready to start over?"
Yang Zixi stared at Chen An with burning eyes. After more than ten seconds, she nodded and then shook her head. "I met a rich second-generation guy some time ago. He has been pursuing me, but I ignored him. Now I am very conflicted. I don't know whether to give him a chance..."
It seemed like just a casual chat, but Yang Zixi's unblinking gaze at him and her slightly clenched hands betrayed her true intentions.
"Rich second generation?" Chen An sneered.
Yang Zixi was very confused. After all, in her opinion, Chen An should also be a second-generation, but he was more hardworking and motivated.
"Why do I feel that your tone seems to be very contemptuous of this?"
"Whether they are the second generation of the rich or the second generation of officials, a small number of them are indeed very outstanding. They have received a good education since childhood and understand the logic of social operation in advance. They are much more advanced in thinking than ordinary people and can create a new world based on the original foundation."
"But most of the second generation are just arranged by their parents to go to school, gain experience, get married, and take over the family business. For those who can inherit their father's business, it is still good."
"I don't dislike the first two, but I don't like the last group of second-generation people who live off their savings and wait for death."
"The reason is not because of their wasteful behavior, but because of their mentality."
"They have never experienced any hardship since they were young. The smallest thing can expose their true nature as fools. They are in a bad mood all the time, or they are so-called bored and seek excitement in various ways."
"He indulges in all five vices, including eating, drinking, whoring, gambling and smoking. His values are also extremely distorted. As long as it's exciting enough, he will do anything. Bullying and humiliating others for fun are all child's play."
"It's common for people to scheme against others in various ways."
"It's not uncommon for a group of people to harm one person, or to swap them for fun. As long as they can change their boring lives and find excitement, it doesn't matter whether it's moral or illegal. It's pure garbage."
"I treat all these people like animals as livestock..."
Chen An's words shocked Yang Zixi. She didn't know much about the rich second generation. A philandering man like Cheng Feng just loved to pick up girls and drink.
But he never touches gambling, drugs, or even pornography. As for taking pleasure in bullying and humiliating others, I have never seen Cheng Feng do this, but I have heard some rumors from other places.
Even if it was a group of men harming one person, Yang Zixi had also heard about it. When they were in college, there were such rumors.
But changing it? This is it!!
"Chen An, according to what you said, what do these second-generations think? If they swap girlfriends with others, isn't that cheating on themselves? Isn't this what men care about the most? Can they tolerate this just for the sake of excitement?"
"Haha, Xiaoxi, your question is very childish."
Yang Zixi snorted, "I'm not childish, I just haven't seen it before, I don't understand, I'm just curious."
"Brothers are like limbs, and women are like clothes. You must have heard this saying, right?"
Yang Zixi frowned and complained, "What era is it now? Gender equality has been advocated for so many years. This is purely a bad habit of certain ideologies and a degradation of women."
"But in the circle of the second-generation rich, this saying is very popular."
"The reason why they are so arrogant and domineering, and enjoy bullying and insulting others, is partly due to their family's status and background, but more importantly, it is due to their circle of friends. The relationships are complicated, and 99% of the problems that ordinary people would face death can be easily solved by them."
"So this group of people get together, even though they are just friends, they also rely on each other and keep each other warm."
"They may seem free, but their marriage is not free. From ancient times to the present, they have always been tools for marriage."
"So among the girls who hang out with them, not even one out of a thousand can achieve a happy ending. In their eyes, those who are labeled as girlfriends are just tools for money and entertainment. They are just a transaction between them."
"It's like spending money to buy a new piece of clothing. You wear it for a while and then throw it away when you get tired of it. You can also exchange it with your friends and throw it away when the novelty has worn off. As long as you have money, you will never lack new clothes, so the concept of cuckoldry does not exist at all."
Chen An's words were easy to understand and reasonable. Yang Zixi believed them to about 60% but still had some doubts in her heart. Was Chen An telling her all this simply to remind her as a friend?
No, there is no pure friendship between men and women.
Yes, that’s right. He must like me. After all, I’m a great beauty. How could he agree to have dinner with me if he doesn’t like me?
It seems that he didn't want to take advantage of the situation because he had just broken up, otherwise he wouldn't have advised me to drink less.
My little man, I've seen through you. It's not okay for you to take the initiative. Can I do it myself?
Yang Zixi chuckled. "Your words reminded me of the contempt chain I heard them talk about when I was in school. Students from Peking University and Tsinghua University looked down on those from 985 and 211 universities, and those from 985 and 211 universities looked down on those from ordinary universities. Ordinary university students looked down on those from junior colleges, and so on..."
"It's a pity that I'm just a runner for a fashion magazine now. I can't be as cool as you, standing at the top of the contempt chain, looking down on those second-generations who have no ambition and just want to eat and wait for death."
Chen An pretended to look weird, "Xiao Xi, did I ever say I was a second-generation?"
"Ah? This?" Yang Zixi was very surprised when she heard that. Could it be that Chen An is a first-generation entrepreneur?
Looking at Yang Zixi with her mouth opened into an O shape, Xiao Chen felt a little cold!!
As for the first generation of rich people? The first generation of entrepreneurs? It is a complete disdain for Mr. Chen.
Those people are nothing compared to him? He is a true "first generation" and a unique existence in this world. If he gives himself ten years, no, five years, he can calmly preach to the big guys on many occasions: "Everyone here is my younger brother!!"
"In this city, I once had only three yuan and twenty cents in my pocket, and I couldn't even afford a bowl of noodles..."
The calm tone and confident aura made Yang Zixi slightly clamp her legs together. This is the state a real man should be in.
If Pan Jinlian married a man like this, would Ximen Qing still dare to cheat on her? He would probably wet his pants if he looked at him for one more second.
If I followed him, I could have as many old shoes as I wanted, such as those costing 2,900 yuan, new ones costing 3,500 yuan, bags worth tens of thousands of yuan, and all kinds of exquisite jewelry.
Things like a flower shop, a Beijing hukou, a house, a car, and status are all things that can be easily obtained. They come from the confidence of one's own abilities and are far beyond the reach of the second generation who rely on their fathers.
"Chen, Chen An, how did you become so successful?"
Seeing Yang Zixi's fiery eyes, which also contained curiosity, desire, exploration, and countless complex emotions, Chen An suddenly understood why the male protagonists in novels like to pretend to be cool. This feels particularly good...
"Xiao Xi, don't ask this kind of question in the future."
Seeing Chen An’s serious expression, Yang Zixi was a little confused?
"Ah? Why?"
"Do you know Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin?"
Yang Zixi rolled her eyes and said, "Of course I know. I watched the TV series when I was a kid. Not to mention that I'm a university student at a prestigious university."
"Then you see, Li Shimin was originally the eldest son of the Duke of Tang. His father rebelled and took advantage of the situation to rebel, and eventually unified the country and became the emperor."
"Li Shimin played a great role in this, but he was the second son and could not inherit the throne if he was not the crown prince.
So in the end, under various pressures, he had to take a risky move and launched the Xuanwu Gate Incident, killing his two brothers and imprisoning his biological father to ascend the throne. As a result, he gained a very bad reputation, and countless people in the court and the public privately said that he had not gained the throne legitimately. "
"He worked diligently all his life, expanding the territory externally, resting and recuperating with the people internally, opening up channels for people to express their opinions, organizing the imperial examinations, and providing opportunities for people from poor families to rise to higher positions. In fact, all of this was to prove that he, Li Shimin, was the wisest ruler of all time, and that it was not him who was wrong, but his father and brothers."
"Like Emperor Yongle, who also came to power illegitimately. In order to prove that he could be an emperor and a good emperor, and to prove that he was not a traitor or a rebel, he led his army to the northern desert five times in his life, and eventually died on the way."
"It's like many gangsters have started to transform themselves into clean businesses, donating money to build primary schools, doing charity work, and becoming deputies to the National People's Congress. All of these are done to whitewash themselves."
"After all, for 99% of successful people, the first step, which is also the most important step, is to use shady means to get to the top, or to accumulate wealth in a way that skirts the law or even crosses the red line."
"For successful people, these are secrets hidden deep in their hearts, and they won't even reveal them to their bedmates."
Yang Zixi looked a little embarrassed. What she had just asked was indeed a bit rash and reckless. She looked like a fool. It must be because she moved to live with Lin Xia and was influenced by her stupidity.
Playfully sticking out her tongue, Yang Zixi apologized, "I'm sorry, Chen An, I was just too surprised just now, so I couldn't help my curiosity..."
Chen An lost his serious expression and said with a smile, "Why apologize to me? We are friends."
"This?" Yang Zixi was a little confused. Did she misunderstand?
"I started out in a rather violent way, by taking advantage of foreign capitalists, so strictly speaking, I am one of the 0.1% of successful people..."
Yang Zixi naturally knew what Chen An was referring to, and her heart was in turmoil. After all, when it came to stock market futures, how many people dreamed of getting rich quickly, but ultimately discovered that it was all an illusion.
She exhaled, patted her chest and said coquettishly, "You're so annoying. You looked so serious just now that I was scared to death. I thought I had made the boss unhappy and my life might be in danger at any time!!"
"It's good to scare you, so you don't offend others when you speak carelessly in the future."
Yang Zixi smiled and said, "Having a big friend like you gives me a sense of security. Even if I do something stupid and offend someone, you will definitely protect me, right?"
"That's really too much. Not only is she beautiful, but she also wants to be more beautiful?"
"Hehe, thank you for the compliment!" Yang Zixi smiled playfully.
"Are you born in the year of the monkey? You are so good at taking advantage of others, but I haven't agreed to it yet."
"Tsk, I'm a snake. When it comes to climbing a pole, the monkey is far behind!!"
Chen An picked up the wine pot and poured wine for the two of them, then held up the cup and said with a smile, "Come on, beautiful snake, have a drink and see if you will reveal your true form if you drink too much!!"
"What? Could it be that Mr. Chen regards Xu Xian as his idol?" Yang Zixi's tone was provocative, but the content was very ambiguous?
Chen An drank the wine in his glass and said casually, "Idol? Come on, I was just born earlier!!"
Yang Zixi blinked her beautiful eyes, drank the wine in the glass, picked up the wine pot and filled Chen An's glass...
