Chapter 37 - Every Dog Has Its Day (1/2)
“As a saying goes, the rich should not associate with the poor, while the poor should not fawn over the rich. It really makes sense. If others look down on you, it will be all in vain even if you show much humility.” Zhang Jun thought. Setting aside all the annoying things, he chuckled and took a taxi back to the hotel.
After Zhang Jun left, Lu Jianjun stared at Yi Zhu and gritted his teeth, “Are you satisfied now? Zhang Jun finally came here, and why couldn’t you hold your tongue? You just deliberately raked up the past and made everyone uncomfortable.”
Yi Zhu came back to herself and screamed, “Do you want to blame me again? Last time you hit me because of his family. Do you want to hit me again? Come on, just hit me!”
Lu Jianjun’s chest was violently ups and downs at the fit of anger, and he said angrily, “You are like a villain intoxicated by success! You are proud that our family is rich, but what is so great about being rich? Zhang Jun is even a college student of Donghai University.”
“So what?” Yi Zhu said scornfully, “The college student also has difficulties in finding a job, and the college student is also poor. I tell you. I just look down on those poor guys. What’s wrong?”
Lu Jianjun said with eyes lidded, “Every dog has its day. Don’t look down on others.” After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.
Yi Zhu shouted, “Lu Jianjun, what are you going to do?”
“It’s none of your business!” Lu Jianjun said coldly.
“If you dare to leave, never come back again.” Yi Zhu’s sharp voice came behind him.
Lu Jianjun ignored her words and left. He walked out of the community and reached out to his cell phone to call Zhang Jun.
“Third Uncle.” Zhang Jun’s voice was calm.
Lu Jianjun sighed and said, “Zhang Jun, I am sorry that your aunt is so snobbish. Don’t take her words to heart. You know I care about you.”
Zhang Jun laughed, “I understand, uncle. Even if I am extremely unhappy, you’re still my uncle. I will not be angry with you anyway.”
Lu Jianjun said, “Zhang Jun, where are you? I’m going to look for you.”
Zhang Jun thought for a while and finally told Lu Jianjun the address of his hotel. Half an hour later, Zhang Jun arrived at the hotel first. He just stood there waiting for his uncle. After Lu Jianjun arrived, they returned to Zhang Jun’s room together. Zhang Jun ordered some dishes and a bottle of liquor.
When Lu Jianjun saw the liquor of Wuliangye and the exquisite dishes, he said, “Zhang Jun, why are you living in such a kind of place? It is too extravagant. You should save money even if you get rich.”
Zhang Jun grinned and said, “Anyway, I need not pay for it. It is just prepared for me and why shouldn’t I live in it?”
As soon as Zhang Jun finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of his room. He opened the door and found that Shang Yang and his wife stood outside, with their child in Shang Yang’s arms.
Shang Yang smiled and said, “Mr. Zhang, I am sorry for disturbing you. May I come in?”
Zhang Jun nodded, “Of course. Come in, please.”
As the couple saw Lu Jianjun, they asked, “He is…?”
Then Zhang Jun introduced them to each other. Hearing Zhang Jun introducing Shang Yang, Lu Jianjun was surprised and asked, “Are you Mr. Shang of Morning Sun Group?”
Shang Yang smiled slightly, “Yes.”
Lu Jianjun was excited because he knew the power of this Mr. Shang in front of him. If Mr. Shang stomped, the whole Dongling City would have an earthquake. Morning Sun Group achieved success in various fields, covering real estate, freight, retail, service, and other industries. At least one-fifth of the GDP of Dongling City was contributed by Morning Sun Group.
“Mr. Shang, it is nice to put a face to your name. I cooperated with your group once.” Lu Jianjun said.
Shang Yang became interested and asked, “Oh? Did Mr. Lu have some business with Morning Sun Group?”
Lu Jianjun smiled awkwardly and said, “A construction company affiliated to the Morning Sun Group once bought some building materials from me. But they have not paid me yet.”
Shang Yang became serious and apologized, “Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter.”
Zhang Jun laughed, “Let’s sit down and continue the talk. We just ordered some dishes. Mr. Shang, are you willing to stay here and eat with us?”
Shang Yang hadn’t eaten yet, so he laughed when he heard it, “It is my pleasure.”
Lu Jianjun was surprised and thought to himself, “How does Zhang Jun know such a big shot like Shang Yang?” At the same time, he also felt himself was lucky and could meet such a golden opportunity. Maybe he could get the payment today.
Mrs. Shang sat beside and looked after the child carefully. The couple came over because they were worried that their child would cry again and wanted to let him stay with Zhang Jun. On the plane, Zhang Jun’s behaviors convinced them, and his reprimand towards the open space filled them with a sense of awe.
During the meal, Lu Jianjun was very attentive and drank toasts to Shang Yang for many times. Zhang Jun also drank a few glasses. After they were flushed with the joy of liquor, Shang Yang called somebody. Over twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man with a big belly came in.
