rebirth of cataclysm
Chapter 1456 Prepare for bad luck
Although he has always been marginalized, Hu Mingchen has no intention of revealing his identity and showing off.
After so many years since his net worth has skyrocketed, Hu Mingchen's youthful nature of flying and escaping has become less and less.
When Xiang Yu became famous, he returned to Jiangdong and didn't want to walk at night in brocade clothes. However, Hu Mingchen is now in his hometown, and there is no need for him to try his best to express his identity and status like a nouveau riche.
Take cars as an example. Hu Mingchen is still riding in the Wrangler that is several years old. Can he not afford a sports car?
Of course not, he can buy the most expensive sports car in the world at will, but he doesn't think it is necessary.
Since you choose to keep a low profile, you must suppress your inner arrogance, especially in front of people around you and in familiar places.
This is not only his personality, but also what makes Hu Mingchen smart. It is the result of his having a clear understanding of our culture.
Frankly speaking, if Hu Mingchen was domineering from the beginning, or liked to be public, then we can boldly predict to a certain extent that he is very likely to be in trouble now.
In our culture, it may not be a big deal to get ahead, but from top to bottom, people don't like people who are too flamboyant. Even if you haven't done anything bad, everyone will still stare at you.
As long as you go a little bit out of line, all kinds of negative comments will immediately arise. Our people are too keen on this.
And how could a flamboyant person not do something outrageous? That's impossible. If he does it a few times, his reputation will be basically ruined.
Hu Mingchen had already experienced that feeling during the disaster relief work some time ago.
Although Jiang Yongtong was behind the incident, it must be admitted that if it weren't for the public's hatred of the rich and impetuous thoughts, even if someone was behind the scenes, it would be difficult to cause much trouble.
In a word, in our social culture, if you want to live a long and peaceful life, being low-key and restrained, and getting rich quietly is the way you must go.
This has been true throughout the ages. The richest man twenty years ago has almost all collapsed now.
After a day of driving practice, Li Wenjie took three trips, which took a total of one and a half hours. Finally, Coach Li drove everyone back to the driving school, and this was the end of the day's driving practice.
"I think you are suffering. You have to ride the bus back and forth all day long, and you have to suffer the glares from those people. Why do you bother?" When he got home, Fang Guoping sat next to Hu Mingchen and said apologetically for him.
"Then what are you talking about? I bought the Capgemini Driving School and then started to serve me exclusively?" Hu Mingchen said with a smile on his face.
"That's not a big deal, but at least you can find someone to say hello, Ban. This way, you don't have to squeeze in with those people." Fang Guoping suggested.
Fang Guoping really felt that with Hu Mingchen's current wealth, there was no need to lower his stature to such an extent. Besides, his time was precious and he only practiced driving for an hour and a half every day. The rest of his time was wasted and meaningless.
"In this case, wouldn't others know who I am? Then how can I study with peace of mind?" Hu Mingchen said calmly, "Besides, sometimes, I think it's good to experience the life of ordinary people, so as not to worry about it.
I stay on top all day long and forget who I am."
"The key is that you haven't blended in either."
"What do you mean by integrating in? Tell me." Hu Mingchen asked.
"People give gifts to the coach, but you don't give them. People flatter the coach, but you don't do it. There is also your Zhou Yugang who learned to drive together. Everyone praises him, but when you look at him, he is like a clown." Fang.
Guoping Road.
"It's not that I think he looks like a clown, but that guy is a clown. He talks about his job and rank all day long, just for fear that if he doesn't mention it, others will look down on him." Hu Mingchen said disdainfully.
"Then that's the fact. Aren't many people like this? It's almost always like this at the bottom of society. You seem to be at the bottom of society. You feel stupid and unsophisticated."
"Stupid people are blessed with stupid things. There is nothing wrong with being stupid. Besides, I am rarely confused. They may look down on me, but I treat them like monkeys, hahaha." Hu Mingchen said very optimistically.
"You are open-minded. Since you are open-minded, hurry up. Today, I have registered all the calls you received on your mobile phone. I estimate that there are a lot of things waiting for you. If you don't waste that time
, you have already finished handling it." Hu Mingchen couldn't be moved, and Fang Guoping could only shake his head.
"It seems that I have to hire a separate secretary or assistant. It's really inappropriate to ask you to do these things all the time." Hu Mingchen took the small book in Fang Guoping's hand. The things recorded in it were actually very simple. Most of them were
Ask Hu Mingchen to call back or read the email.
"Yes, you should have hired me a long time ago. It's not that I don't want to do these things. The point is, I'm not suitable and I can't handle some things. If you hire a dedicated assistant, I can be freed up."
"I knew what you were thinking. Okay, I'll ask Wu Huaisi to help me with this later. Okay, I'll take care of the official business. You can go and accompany your sister-in-law."
After Su Yueling gave birth to her child, she moved back to Liangcheng. Her job at Xingsheng Supermarket is still there, and her attendance is very free. She can stay longer if she has something to do, and she can leave early if she has nothing to do, and she can even take her child with her.
Go to the company.
During this time, Hu Mingchen was studying for a driver's license in Liangcheng, which Fang Guoping also wished for, so that he could spend more time with his wife and children.
The next day, Hu Mingchen went to learn to drive as usual.
Although Fang Guoping suggested that Hu Mingchen change his style, at least be more secular and diplomatic, Hu Mingchen remained as usual, neither bringing breakfast to the coach nor buying him cigarettes.
After practicing in the morning, they stopped eating chicken hotpot for lunch and really chose to eat mutton.
Because there were five of them and they ordered drinks, they had a meal, which cost more than four hundred yuan. The four of them shared it equally, and no one shared the one hundred and twenty yuan.
Yesterday Zhou Yugang also said that he would share the money with Xiao Chuling, but today, he seemed to have forgotten and only paid out his own money. Xiao Chuling and Hu Mingchen also took one hundred and twenty yuan in their pockets.
"I'm still feeling a bit tired after eating without drinking. I suggest that after we finish driving lessons today, how about singing a song? Let's all get together and do some activities." After dinner, when he was about to leave, Zhou Yugang suggested.
"I think it's okay. It's good to combine work and rest. Singing and drinking something are also good." After hearing about singing, Coach Li immediately agreed.
Being able to go out and have fun and spend the night without having to pay for it is something that Coach Li certainly wants.
Besides, there are two beauties.
Zhou Wen has a bit of aristocratic temperament, good looks, and a strong sense of mature femininity.
Xiao Chuling, on the other hand, has the image of a young girl. Her height, figure, and appearance can be considered to be above average. If not, Zhou Yugang would not have said anything to help her.
"Okay, let's go to Lihuang Palace. The speakers there are the best." Zhou Wen is also the kind of person who loves to play. Not only did she not object, but she also named Lihuang Palace as a place where consumption is not cheap.
"Singing... I'm not very good at singing. Let me see, don't you want it?" Xiao Chuling did not choose to support this time, but faintly opposed it.
"Oh, what's wrong with singing? Don't you study and not sing? If you are happy, just go. You are out of school now and have to work. This kind of gathering is normal among colleagues. If you don't join
, how to integrate into work in the future." Zhou Yugangyou said.
"But I'm really inexperienced, and Li Huang Palace, I...I heard it's quite expensive."
Xiao Chuling still feels a little worried about money.
"It's okay, I can get a discount if I go, so... you go, you don't have to pay tonight, that's all right, let's take care of the lady, and I'll work with Xiao Hu tonight, what do you think?"
Zhou Yugang originally wanted to take care of Xiao Chuling, but when he saw Zhou Wen's moving appearance, he also included her in taking care of her.
"That's a good relationship, haha, let's enjoy the ladies' priority treatment for once." Zhou Wen was naturally happy when she heard that she didn't have to pay for it.
There is no need to pay out of pocket. If Xiao Chuling refuses, she will have no choice but to agree.
Before Hu Mingchen said a word, he was pulled into the queue to pay.
"Xiao Hu, what do you think? We two big men, let's take the responsibility, okay?" At this time, Zhou Yu just asked Hu Mingchen's opinion hypocritically.
"Brother Zhou, it's not that I don't want to play with everyone, the point is, I still have things to do in the evening." Hu Mingchen said numbly.
"It's already evening, what else do you have to do? I've been learning to drive these days and I've been taking time off from work. How can you be busier than me?"
"Yes, Xiao Hu, we are classmates now, so we should get close to each other." Zhou Wen followed suit and said to Hu Mingchen.
"Xiao Hu, how about you practice for a while, and practice more today, what do you think?" Even Coach Li jumped out to make conditions for Hu Mingchen.
"Xiao Hu, just go. If you go, we will have a companion. We can just go together then." Xiao Chuling also encouraged.
"Well... that's fine. Since everyone is interested, it wouldn't be good if I didn't go." Hu Mingchen reluctantly agreed.
Ever since Hu Mingchen agreed to tonight's event, everyone's attitude towards him seems to have changed a bit. Not only did they get in the car with him first to practice, but they also took the initiative to talk to him more often.
One by one, don’t you still want me to pay tonight?
Hu Mingchen was very clear-headed, but he was already thinking about how to deal with Zhou Yugang.
If you want to go play, you can go by yourself. If you have to drag me along and ask me to pay for it with you, then be prepared for bad luck.
