Qin Zhen knows full well about him keeping a mistress, but now he’s bringing it up in front of Chen Hanliang on purpose, clearly trying to make him look bad.
But, we’re all n here, and especially since it’s Chen Hanliang, Chen Feng obviously doesn’t feel embarrassed at all.
In circles of wealthy n, if you don’t have a mistress or fool around with so college girl, you feel awkward socializing with others.
The social circle of rich n is just that tacky.
Don’t think that wealthy n are all gentlen, untouched by the surrounding dirt. When they get together privately, the most talked-about topics are money and won. It can’t get any tackier.
Do you really expect them not to cheat when they’re out? It’s like that old saying: Where in the world would you find a cat that doesn’t sneak a taste of fish?
So, when a man’s wealth reaches a certain level, even if you never thought about cheating before, it just naturally starts happening. The temptations you face are just too many.
Before, when you wanted to buy Häagen-Dazs, even though you knew it tasted great, you held back because it was really expensive, comforting yourself that a dostic ice pop tasted just as good.
But once you have money, you can buy it easily, and Häagen-Dazs doesn’t seem expensive anymore. Naturally, you indulge whenever you want.
This is the change in mindset brought about by changes in wealth.
Before, when you saw a pretty woman, you might have thought she was easy to approach, but you just thought about it and restrained yourself, because you had no money.
Money gives a man courage; a man without money has a weak will.
But now that you have money, your mindset changes, your courage grows, and you’re very likely to actually make a move, and find that she really is easy to approach...
That’s just human nature. Normal n’s nature.
"You know about my keeping a woman in the golden house, right? If you really want to visit my house later, I’ll introduce her to you."
Chen Feng said this very openly, making Qin Zhen feel a bit embarrassed. He laughed and said, "Let’s do it another day. Showing up as a guest, drunk as I am, would be a bit rude."
"How about this, let’s do it tomorrow at noon. It won’t delay your work, and it’d be best if you could bring your girlfriend along, so everyone can et and get to know each other."
Hearing Chen Feng say this, Qin Zhen was a bit surprised and asked, "Is this woman you’re keeping now your girlfriend?"
Chen Feng clearly understood what he ant and shook his head with a smile, "Not a formal girlfriend, you could call her a live-in partner. You guys understand, right?"
After saying this, Chen Feng’s gaze also swept over to Chen Hanliang.
"Haha, of course, we understand. Just guys being guys." Chen Hanliang had a knowing smile on his face, then he ca clean. "Actually, I also had a younger female companion before. Later on, it was just too tiring, so I didn’t continue. Mainly for two reasons, one is getting older and struggling physically; the other is the wallet can’t take it."
Chen Hanliang was so candid, truly open-hearted towards Chen Feng. After all, he wasn’t like Chen Feng; he had a wife and kids and a family.
Qin Zhen was clearly surprised to hear that his forr commander had such affairs, and gave him a few astonished looks. However, they’re all n, and Chen Hanliang had been in business for quite so years after retiring from the military. With social trends being what they are, it’s really normal when a man with so money can’t always control himself.
Chen Feng was naturally pleased with Chen Hanliang’s attitude, joking with a laugh, "I think mostly it’s your wallet that couldn’t handle it, right?"
This teasing was also a way to actively bring the two closer.
Chen Hanliang obviously sensed this, quickly nodded with a smile, and said, "Mr. Chen, your insight is as sharp as ever, hitting the nail right on the head. To be honest, the woman I used to keep was really great, young, beautiful, and had a decent job. It’s just that a monthly expense of ten thousand was a bit much. My business wasn’t doing well at the ti, and I lost quite a bit in the stock market, so I couldn’t justify an extra ten thousand every month, and we didn’t continue, although we were together for about five months."
Qin Zhen raised an eyebrow and said, "You’ve made quite a bit this ti, haven’t you thought about finding another one to keep?"
Facing Chen Feng and Chen Hanliang wasn’t too awkward, but Qin Zhen’s remark made him, who still cared about his reputation, a bit embarrassed, and he laughed awkwardly, saying, "We’ll see how it goes. I’m not young anymore, and at ho there’s a tigress, sotis two won are really hard for to handle physically."
Qin Zhen and Chen Feng both couldn’t help but share a knowing laugh.
The al was quite enjoyable for the three of them; everyone was happy.
In the afternoon, Chen Hanliang sold all of his Huiji Eye dicine stocks, pocketing the gains. From buying to selling, the profit was over four tis.
Since he initially invested three million, this ti his profit was nearly ten million, which was really a fortune for Chen Hanliang.
He was quite considerate, calling Qin Zhen right away to offer to lend him two million, so he could buy a house outright without the burden of a mortgage.
It was no small offer, but after so thought, Qin Zhen firmly refused. If he really wanted to borrow money to buy a house, Chen Feng, his close buddy, would undoubtedly be the best option.
However, if friendship involves financial loans under non-urgent circumstances, it inevitably impacts their friendship to so extent.
Forget about all that talk of friends being generous with their wealth; there’s no love without reason, and likewise, no friendship without reason in this world.
Just because they have a good relationship, grew up together, it doesn’t an the wealthier one has to offer his wealth unconditionally to his friend. What’s the logic in that?
The lessons of "feeding them enmity over a handful and hatred over a bushel" are countless through history.
Of course, if the other person saved your life or sothing similar, then it’s a different matter if you want to repay them with money.
Even so, even if you repay with money, the brotherly bond might not last long.
After all, rescue from dire need, not poverty; teaching a man to fish is better than giving him a fish.
Qin Zhen greatly valued his friendship with Chen Feng, ensuring it involved no direct financial interests.
Chen Feng brought him along to play, letting him earn from the stock market, and that was fine, but he absolutely could not directly take money from Chen Feng. Unless absolutely necessary, borrowing money from Chen Feng was out of the question.
Otherwise, between friends, he would beco the one always taking, making their interactions sowhat uncomfortable for him.
After unsuccessfully persuading for quite so ti, Chen Hanliang eventually gave up his plan to lend money to Qin Zhen for a house. Next, he asked Qin Zhen how much commission should be given to Chen Feng, would two million be enough?
This ti he earned nearly ten million, offering Chen Feng two million, equating to roughly twenty percent of his gains; this is already a fairly high rate for a stockbroker’s commission in general.
However, honestly speaking, this speculative success was entirely thanks to Chen Feng bringing him on for Qin Zhen’s sake; he earned nearly ten million because of it, yet only giving Chen Feng two million would really not be much.
Qin Zhen thought so too, feeling that Chen Hanliang only giving two million to Chen Feng was a bit too little, putting him, the introducer, in a slightly awkward position. So he frankly said, "Old Leader, I think, if you want to keep working with him in the future, increase the commission rate a bit. I have face for just this once; whether he continues to take you along in the future will depend entirely on you. Do you get what I an?"
