Chapter 207 - Who Should Make a Kowtow? (1/2)

Why Cao Liyang bothers to press a poor student?

Now, sitting in the private room of a famous bar in R City, Cao Liyang’s arrogance is obvious. He doesn’t look like that gentle young man when he was with Zeng Tian.

Cao and Zeng are both 25 years old. Most of their peers have just graduated from university and they change jobs frequently in order to build a career. Maybe some of them have settled down and started to save money for a house or their wedding.

What about Cao Liyang?

He is already a middle-level manager of the Zeng’s company. His job is nothing difficult yet he holds power in his hands. At the age of 25, he owns two downtown houses, as well as a Maserati and a BWM in his garage. He is also one of the shareholders of this bar. Even if he does nothing for the rest of his life, he already has enough money to live a well-off life.

Though Cao’s father is only the general manager of the R City branch of Zeng’s company, his father is far-sighted enough to own some of the stocks of the company. Cao’s father receives a decent dividend every year, which is the reason why the Cao family becomes affluent.

Of course, compared with Zeng Tian, Cao Liyang’s money means nothing.

Zeng Tian is the son of the chairman of the company and Cao Liyang is the son of a general manager. Cao has worked in the company as a leader for years, and others think he is better than Zeng Tian, who hasn’t graduated from the university for six years. Cao would have more confidence in himself if he were born in the Zeng family.

To put this simpler, what frustrates Cao Liyang is the presence of Zeng Tian. Zeng brings pressure to Cao because Cao thinks Zeng outs.h.i.+nes himself.

Better be the head of a dog than the tail of a lion.

Cao Liyang has his friend circle in the R City and he is more of a leader among his friends. After Zeng Tian is here, Cao completely becomes a minion… He hates Zeng for taking away the spotlight and he looks forward to seeing the higher social circle with Zeng. This contradiction tortures Cao and makes him grumpy. Cao is never a low-key person. Now he just becomes a little bit of mean.

This is the reason why Rong Donglin is in trouble.

Normally, Cao Liyang shouldn’t have hard feelings to be Zeng’s minion. It depresses Cao that twenty years ago, he and Zeng Tian used to play mud together in the yard. Back then, the company was state-owned and Zeng’s father worked for Cao’s father… If Zeng’s father weren’t the one who first started his own business, Cao believes that he and Zeng’s current position would switch.

Certainly, Cao Liyang doesn’t realize that he is being extreme. He acts like Zeng’s best friend when they are together and vents his “grudges” to Rong Donglin… This is the law of the jungle. Cao Liyang believes that because he is richer and more powerful than the poor student, he has the right to bully him.

It is dusk, and the peak time of the bar is a few hours away. Rong Donglin is pushed inside of the bar. Several young women in low-cut clothes and smoky makeups look at Rong in surprise. They realize what this is all about as soon as they see the “managers” of the bar.

Maybe someone has messed with Cao again.

This is quite a common scene. Everybody looks away and keeps doing their jobs, pretending that nothing happened.

Several minutes after these men forced Rong into one of the private rooms, a man and a woman come into the bar. The man is holding a piece of stone and the woman is purely stunning.

This couple is so strange, yet the waiter welcomes them warmly… No one suspects that the young man is here to make trouble because even with a stone in his hand, he seems to be weak.

The young woman asks for the private room next to Cao’s. The waiter suspects nothing. After all, the man and the woman are skinny and they seem to be harmless.

“Miss, this is the wine list…” The waiter wants to sell some wine. The pretty young lady points at the names of two bottles of wine on the list casually.

The waiter is so happy that he is going to receive a lot of revenue from this. He says gladly,

“How many guests will you be expecting?”

“Just us two!” Yan Feng answers. He is shocked by the price of the wine Lin Luoran picked. Yan has been to this bar before and he never asked for a private room. The wine costs several thousand yuan each… His father will scold him to death if he knew!

The waiter sends the wine to the private room soon. The wine glistens in the gla.s.s. Seeing that the beautiful woman is paying attention to the room next door, Yan Feng goes closer to the wall and tries to listen. He hears nothing…

Thinking of the possibility that he may have to fight those men later, Yan Feng starts to drink the wine in order to cheer himself up.

When Lin Luoran smells the fragrance of wine, she turns around only to see that Rong’s roommate is holding an empty bottle. He giggles, “Pretty lady, hee-hee…”

*******

“Hey there, nice to see you again.”

Seeing that Rong Donglin almost falls down on the ground after being pushed inside the room, Cao Liyang says with a smile, shaking his wine gla.s.s.
