Chapter 168 Verbal Battle (Ii) (1/2)

Qin Tian, then he put out his cigar. He could not help but recognize Ye Qian’s eloquence. Based on what he heard from his own daughter Qin Yue, and Zhang Qiang, this young man was not simple. He had a maturity and experience that an ordinary young man did not have, but he also had the hot-bloodedness and pa.s.sion of a youth. In the future he would certainly temper a different kind of heaven and earth.

“If you had to chose between two roads laid out before you, on one road the journey is wonderful, but the outcome is ordinary; on the other road the journey is ordinary but the outcome can be exceptionally great. Which road would you pick?” Qin Tian asked.

Ye Qian could not help staring a bit. Qin Tian’s words seemed to have another meaning but he could not figure out what it was at the moment. “For this hypothetical question, I make no reply.” Ye Qian said Qin Tian’s previous reply back at him.

Qin Tian stared, and then guffawed and said, “It seems there are things that we are similar in. But what if I tell you that this is not a hypothetical question? How will you answer?”

“Forgive xiaozi’s ignorance, I don’t know what Uncle Qin means?” Ye Qian asked.

Qin Tian laughed, then said, “Let’s not talk about this for now. I heard, xianzhi…”

“Just call me Ye Qian!” Ye Qian interrupted.

“Very well. I heard from Yue’er that you used to live in the Middle East and only returned to China recently, is that correct?” Qin Tian asked.

“Correct, I haven’t been back long.” Ye Qian replied.

“Then what do you intended to do next? Any plans for your future?” Qin Tian asked.

“That’s hard to answer.” Ye Qian chuckled. “In terms of the far future, I’d like to get married and have a wife, have a kid, then live peacefully for the rest our lives.”

Ye Qian played himself down but Qin Tian would not call him out on it. He understood that Ye Qian was not making excuses, he just did not want to say what his plans were. Qin Tian naturally would not pursue the question. He had lived on this earth for many years and gone through many trials and hards.h.i.+ps, he was already very experienced and knew when to not push it. “But sometimes to live peacefully for the rest of your life is not easy, you’d have to bear humiliation and pressure.” Qin Tian said.

Ye Qian laughed and said, “Haha, perhaps. It’s not clear to me yet either.”

Dispute when you have to, pretend to be naive when you have to, Qin Tian had to admit defeat. Ye Qian was difficult to battle against. He thought to himself, if Ye Qian became his opponent in the future, he would not be able to guess who would win. “Ye Qian, you are the most daring young man I have ever met. Very few people are as calm and collected as you are when speaking to me. In truth, I admire you.” Qin Tian said.

“Uncle Qin is flattering me too much, xiaozi is overwhelmed.” Ye Qian replied in a humble manner.

“You haven’t been home for very long, but it also has been quite a number of days since, yes? What do you think about the situation in Shanghai?” Qin Tian asked.

“In a word, turbulent.” Ye Qian said.
