Chapter 190 So Thats Why (2/2)
After Song Dai left, Qin Sheng and Lin Su fell silent. Qin Sheng was very emotional. He really admired Lu Jiangbai whom he met a few days ago. Today, he saw the most authentic side of Song Dai and also had a new level of respect for him.
”Who said that poor families can't raise good men?” Lin Su said thoughtfully. For a child like him, if he were to not rush for success or take shortcuts, he would only fail in life if god was blind.
Qin Sheng smiled faintly and said, ”This made me recall what someone once said to me. Only those who worked hard can talk about the importance of family background, talent and luck. Those who did not work hard are not qualified.”
”The most straightforward words that the ancestors have said are that gold will always shine,” Lin Su said gently as she held his hand. It seemed like she was also saying it for him.
When Qin Changan arrived punctually at Spring Breeze, Le Le quickly ran upstairs and said excitedly, ”Brother Qin, that uncle is here again.”
Qin Sheng and Lin Su looked at each other in the eye and did not say anything. After a while, Lin Su smiled and said, ”Go, that uncle helped us a lot anyway. Don't think too much.”
Qin Sheng nodded and headed downstairs. Lin Su did not follow him.
”I thought you weren't in,” Qin Changan smiled faintly and said after he saw Qin Sheng. Those who accomplish great things have to always maintain the same way of attitude in the way they handle things, no matter whether they were with a powerful leader or an ordinary person at the bottom of the social ladder. This was true capabilities. However, most people flattered the big shots and were arrogant to ordinary people.
Qin Sheng sat down slowly and said, ”I was upstairs looking at the sunset with my wife. I heard that you came and quickly came down.”
”You weren't like this yesterday,” Qin Changan teased.
Qin Sheng replied seriously, ”It's because you helped me a great deal yesterday. Otherwise, I might not even have the chance to sit here and talk with you now. You're now the most important VIP in our cafe.”
”I still wish that you'll treat me like an ordinary person,” Qin Changan replied causally. He really did not wish to lose his original identity in their interaction. That would not be good, it would not be beneficial in the development of their relationship.
Since Qin Sheng already knew some things, there was no need to hide anymore. It would only seem fake. Hence, he said directly, ”I can do that, but the kids in our cafe were guessing yesterday what is your identity. They've never met someone that could call the Deputy Mayor directly.”
”Are you guessing too?” Qin Changan joked. ”But judging from the way you talk, you must have seen more things than them. Otherwise, you would not be chit-chatting with me like this.”
”Honestly, I'm guessing too,” Qin Sheng replied truthfully.
Qin Changan laughed and explained, ”I used to work in Xiamen and made some friends. Afterward, I went to Beijing and stayed there all the way until retirement. This is also why I want to come to stay at Xiamen for a period of time every year.”
”I see,” Qin Sheng nodded meaningfully and said.
Qin Changan did not dare to continue the topic. He said casually, ”I only popped in here to say hi. I'm going back to Beijing tomorrow and there's some stuff waiting for me to handle. But I'll come back here after I'm done. It's rare to meet a kid like you. It's like making a friend without caring for the age gap.”
”Have a safe journey then. Spring Breeze welcomes you again,” Qin Sheng said softly.
Qin Changan waved. He stood up and left. The staff in the cafe waved goodbye to him politely. Qin Changan was really full of regrets for stepping in to help last night. He did not expect his plan to be ruined by a bunch of gangsters. No plans could ever beat fate. But if he did not step in to help, something might really happen to Qin Sheng last night.
On the second day, Qin Changan and Zhuang Zhou left. Before leaving, Zhuang Zhou told Qin Sheng that Du Jiang had already been taken care of. He had several criminal records that he was now being accounted for. He would probably be locked up for several years. Actually, this was all taken care of by Qin Changan.
Chief Chen from the police station and several other policemen also came to Spring Breeze. They claimed to be looking for Qin Sheng to take some oral reports, but their main purpose was to build a good relationship with Qin Sheng. After chatting for a while, they thought that they were close enough and patted on their chests as they asked Qin Sheng to call them if he had trouble again. Qin Sheng could only smile and brush them off, for this was commonly seen in society. He really did not know when this would change.
