Chapter 41: The highest good is like water
Chapter 41: The best good is like water...
The city of Shanghai has never been quiet, and the pace here is very fast. Qin Sheng is adapting to this rhythm. In order to make a name for himself in this city, in addition to being talented, he must be diligent. Because there are too many elites gathered here, most of them not only have talent and background, but also work harder than ordinary people. If you don’t give more, how can you compare to them?
When he went out today, Qin Sheng did not drive anymore. He was also planning to move out of Tangcheng Golf, let alone live in Shimao Riverside Garden. This was inconsistent with his current identity. Perhaps as long as he spoke, Han Bing could give him the mansion worth tens of millions without hesitation, but Qin Sheng would not accept it. A man must use his hands to get everything he wants. In addition to the sense of accomplishment brought by the result, the most important thing is to enjoy the ups and downs of the process.
Qin Sheng had contacted the person in charge of Shangshan Ruoshui. He was a middle-aged man in his early forties. Yesterday, Jiang Xianbang also said that this man had been the deputy director of a Shanghai bureau and his career was bright, but he somehow went into business. However, his luck was really not very good and he lost all his money. Later, he met Jiang Xianbang. Jiang Xianbang felt that this man was versatile and took the initiative to extend an olive branch. Later, after he tried to make this Shangshan Ruoshui, he let the man take responsibility. It has been so prosperous over the years, and Jiang Xianbang valued him very much.
Shangshan Ruoshui is the mansion of a famous mansion on Sinan Road. It covers an area of about four acres of garden villas, which is much larger than the villa where Jiang Xianbang lives. Jiang Xianbang rented it for twenty years and built it into a pure Chinese museum-style private club, with all the ornaments inside.
There are many private clubs in Shanghai, but there are not many top-notch people like Yongfu Club. Shangshan Ruoshui is very low-key, but the membership threshold is particularly high. Those who can come here are either rich or noble. As for those celebrities and nouveau riche, they are naturally rejected. The management is handled by Jiang Xianbang, but the acceptance of members is voted by a committee of six top members. Each member who has been in full year can recommend it, but there is only one recommended place every year, unless they are senior members, all members are treated equally and there is no distinction between nobleness and dignity.
Because it was still early, Qin Sheng came over by bus. He grasped the time very well, and would not arrive too early, nor could he be late. Time is very subtle, but it can also read a lot of meanings. The reason why most awesome tiger people succeed is that they suddenly realize amazing results in things that many ordinary people think are indifferent.
Shanghai's subway is very prosperous and has the most developed routes in China, but Qin Sheng still likes to take buses, especially in the early morning buses, where he can quietly watch every scenery of the city.
Walking to the gate of Shangshan Ruoshui, Qin Sheng was stopped by the security guard and asked who he was looking for. Qin Sheng smiled and said that he was looking for Shangshan Ruoshui's general manager Xu Lancheng. The security guard immediately smiled and said, "You are Mr. Qin, Mr. Xu has already given instructions. You go in, Manager Yuan is waiting for you."
This is a tree-lined path. Shangshan Ruoshui is surrounded by a wall of blue bricks and gray tiles. There is no way to see what is inside outside. The door is often closed and will only be opened unless a guest comes.
After entering the door, a path made of bluestone slabs directly reaches the four-story building in the middle. The road is only more than ten meters long, but there are six pairs of tall and mighty stone carvings on both sides. It is said that they were all collected from imperial tombs in various places. It is indeed Jiang Xianbang's style.
At the front of the road is a rockery with a small bridge and flowing water. In the middle is a huge rock with four words "Shangshan Shuaishui" written in large black characters. The font is a cursive script that is difficult to recognize. I don't know which one of the masters came from. Fortunately, Qin Sheng has some knowledge of Taoism.
Qin Sheng did not rush in, but quietly observed the surrounding environment. The Republic of China building was surrounded by greenery, surrounded by flowers, plants and trees, and more were towering trees, mixed with parking spaces in groups of three or three.
After walking around outside for two times, Qin Sheng didn't meet anyone. Maybe it was because it was in the morning, it was only 8 o'clock and the employees were not yet at work.
After a while, Qin Sheng slowly walked into the small building. The expected design style was similar to Jiang Xianbang's single-family villa, but it was more refined and delicate, with a small Feng Shui pattern everywhere, and many collections were covered with glass.
"You are Brother Qin." While Qin Sheng was looking at a piece of blue and white porcelain, a man in a suit and tie ran over quickly and greeted him politely.
Qin Sheng replied with a smile, "I am Qin Sheng."
"Hello, Brother Qin, my name is Yuan Hua, and I am the deputy security manager of Shangshan Ruoshui. Mr. Xu has already explained that if you come, let me take you to visit Shangshan Ruoshui first. He has something to do today, and it is estimated that it will take around 10 o'clock to come here." Yuan Hua, a retired special forces soldier, said in a deep voice.
Qin Sheng frowned slightly and said, "Around ten o'clock?"
Yuan Hua said embarrassedly, "He is going to the airport to pick up a distinguished guest. There is a small salon in the club in the afternoon. The distinguished guest came from Hong Kong."
After Yuan Hua finished explaining, Qin Sheng realized it and smiled and said, "Oh, so that's it, so I'll bother you."
"No trouble, please come here," Yuan Hua bent down slightly and stretched out his hand.
Qin Sheng looked at Yuan Hua in front of him at this time. His palms were very thick and there were many calluses on his back. Looking at the clear edges and murderous aura on his face, Qin Sheng could tell that he was a martial artist. No wonder he was the deputy security manager. Shangshan Ruoshui is not an ordinary place. Not to mention the specialness of this place and the respect of the guests, the antiques here alone are enough to make anyone take risks.
So, in the following time, Yuan Hua took Qin Sheng to visit Shangshan Ruoshui. Qin Sheng then discovered that the building had two floors of basement, the first floor was the office and the kitchen, and the second floor was the warehouse and the insurance area. What was placed in the insurance area was self-evident.
The first floor is the reception area and the so-called exhibition area. The three floors above the floor are all private rooms of different sizes, and the top floor is where six top members can enter and exit.
One hour after Qin Sheng visited all the places in Shangshan Ruoshui, Yuan Hua arranged for Qin Sheng to rest in a private room, prepared some tea and fruit trays, and told him that he could take a walk around as he pleased. When Mr. Xu arrived, he would notify Qin Sheng.
This box is pure Chinese style, all of which are red sandalwood furniture, and there is a guzheng beside the window, which looks very valuable. The few antiques in the box should have some stories.
Qin Sheng sat there, looking out the window, without saying a word, as if he was thinking.
What is Qin Sheng thinking?
He was thinking about Jiang Xianbang.
To be honest, Qin Sheng didn't know much about Jiang Xianbang's real wealth background. After all, he didn't have much contact with him before, but he knew that he was well-informed. This time he returned to Shanghai and involved the Han family's turmoil. He only wanted to inquire about some news from Jiang Xianbang. Later, Jiang Xianbang took the initiative to help solve the troubles of Mr. Wu San. Qin Sheng began to realize that Jiang Xianbang's is not simple. After all, Mr. Wu San is a person who is afraid of Han Ping, but Jiang Xianbang is as familiar as an old friend.
Yesterday I went to Jiang Xianbang's single-family garden villa and came to Shangshan Ruoshui again today. I thought Shangshan Ruoshui was just an ordinary private club, but after visiting today, Qin Sheng's concept of Jiang Xianbang has been reversal.
Perhaps it is because Jiang Xianbang’s relationship with him is not the relationship between elders and younger generations, but more like the feeling of brothers and brothers. He always felt that Jiang Xianbang was not a good person, laughing, but he also knew that Jiang Xianbang was really not simple to get to where he is today, but he really didn’t expect it to be so difficult.
Qin Sheng didn't know how long he had been in this Chinese box. It was already 9:30 when he came to his senses, but Mr. Xu hadn't come yet.
Qin Sheng walked out of the box and casually admired the famous calligraphy and paintings and antiques in Shangshan Ruoshui. This time, he met many employees of Shangshan Ruoshui. It was not surprising that most of them were women, and they were all beauties. When those beauties saw Qin Sheng, they nodded politely, and that smile was even more standard than the flight attendant.
Qin Sheng muttered in his heart, scolding the neighbor, and social resources were seriously inclined.
Qin Sheng admired the beauty and thought it was really meaningless, so he ran out to have some breathing. Who knew that he happened to meet a beautiful woman with a gray cheongsam who was parking the car. Unfortunately, she couldn't stop in. It happened that part was a dead corner, and there were two cars next to her. Now she couldn't come out, and she couldn't stop in.
Cars are good cars, Land Rover Range Rover, but unfortunately the technology is really not very good.
Qin Sheng was not in a hurry to go over to help, just pretending to pass the time to watch the fun. After all, he is not a person from Shangshan Ruoshui at the moment. Unfortunately, the beauty is even more unlucky because there is not even one person nearby, only Qin Sheng.
After a while, she really had no choice. She rolled down the car window and shouted to Qin Sheng, "Hey, you, what are you looking at, come and help."
"Am I?" Qin Sheng pointed at himself and said in confusion.
The beauty of cheongsam said unhappyly, "Is there anyone else here besides you?"
Qin Sheng shrugged helplessly and could only run over. After all, he is also a beautiful woman. Why not serve the beauty?
After Qin Sheng came over, the beauty got off the car and said to Qin Sheng, "Come and stop."
Stop and stop, stop a car, isn't it a trivial matter.
After getting on the bus, Qin Sheng calmly turned the steering wheel several times, making room little by little, and finally parked the car.
The beauty did not look at Qin Sheng with admiration, and she was even more angry. After all, Qin Sheng stood there for a long time.
The beauty stared at Qin Sheng and said, "Are you an employee of Shangshan Ruoshui?"
"Yes or not" Qin Sheng's answer is ambiguous.
The beauty of cheongsam was very dissatisfied with the answer, and frowned and said, "Yes or no?"
"Yes" Qin Sheng thought about it, after all, he had to join Shangshan Ruoshui, so he could only answer this way.
The beauty of cheongsam threw the car keys to Qin Sheng without saying a word and said, "Go to Fudan High School to help me pick up a student, he knows the license plate."
After saying that, before Qin Sheng could understand, the beauty of cheongsam took her bag and left. She just left.
Only Qin Sheng was left in the wind...
