Chapter 313 Hitting You Is Spreading Positive Energy!

 

I didn’t feel the emotions of the surrounding crowd. Wang An continued to speak arrogantly: “Well, may I ask what kind of work you do, sir?”

As he said this, he glanced at Su Rui’s Warrior shoes, thinking that these shoes, which had been phased out in the 1990s, would really create a retro feeling when worn on your feet?

“I’m a sales representative in the marketing department of Bikang Group,” Su Rui answered truthfully. Indeed, this was his current real identity.

“Oh…” This single word was dragged out extremely long by Wang An, with the contempt in his eyes becoming even more undisguised!

One was the son of a well-known diamond brand agent, and the other was a struggling pharmaceutical sales representative. The gap between them was already very obvious!

“So you’re just a pharmaceutical representative!” Wang An’s voice was loud. He felt like he was completely winning this battle!

In recent years, negative news about pharmaceutical representatives has been everywhere, with countless scandals like “escort gate” and “kickback gate” frequently appearing in newspapers. Although this industry seems to earn slightly more than ordinary salespeople, it is extremely hard work.

Wang An didn’t believe that Zhou Anke, as the deputy financial director of Bikang, would be interested in a mere salesperson from the same company!

Su Rui rubbed his nose: “Calling me a pharmaceutical representative doesn’t seem wrong.”

Wang An immediately put on a condescending manner and, ignoring Zhou Anke beside him, began chatting with Su Rui: “What future is there in being a small pharmaceutical representative? Do you really think you can give Anke happiness this way? You don’t seem that young anymore, don’t you have any plans for the future? You can’t always be a small sales promoter, right? How is that any different from selling insurance?”

Upon hearing this, several insurance salespeople in the crowd immediately became displeased and shouted loudly: “What’s wrong with selling insurance? Isn’t selling insurance a job? I can make several hundred thousand a year selling insurance.”

Wang An ignored those dissatisfied voices. A mocking smile crossed his lips as he continued to stare at Su Rui, saying: “I believe if you continue as a salesperson, you probably won’t be able to provide Anke with a happy and satisfying life in the future.”

Su Rui pursed his lips, not bothering to answer such questions. If the feelings between two people are genuine, then material things aren’t the decisive factor.

“I think your appearance is acceptable. Why not come work as a sales clerk at my Diana headquarters in Ninghai? The base salary for sales clerks there starts at six thousand.”

Although it seemed like a recruitment offer, every word exuded his sense of superiority!

“Oh, by the way, what’s your base salary?” Wang An asked mockingly, as if suddenly remembering something.

“Three thousand.” Su Rui had nothing to hide about this. He really wanted to see what kind of tricks this Wang An would pull.

However, Zhou Anke, with her gentle temperament, couldn’t bear it anymore. She frowned her pretty brows and said: “Wang An, are you finished? Don’t you know these words are very hurtful?”

“Hurtful? Why would they be hurtful?” Wang An laughed coldly. “Anke, you’re too kind. You haven’t realized how difficult life is in this society, and you haven’t realized that for a man to earn so little money is also an insult to himself.”

Well, with that statement, Wang An had insulted several hundred million people across China. At least most of the people present had been offended by him!

Sometimes, certain ignorant fools think they can do whatever they want and have wild fantasies just because their parents have some money. Wang An was a typical representative of this. If such an arrogant person became the head of Diana’s China branch, this diamond brand wouldn’t have much of a future in China.

“Anke, what place is this?” Wang An asked and answered himself, his tone filled with a forceful attitude. For him, this was his natural demeanor.

“This is Ninghai, the most prosperous international metropolis in all of China. Land here is extremely valuable. To rent a single room in an apartment within the Fourth Ring Road costs at least two thousand yuan!” Wang An said, pointing at Su Rui. “And him? With a salary of three thousand, two thousand goes to rent, leaving one thousand which isn’t enough for food and subway fares! He can’t afford to take you to movies or buy you diamond rings!”

Hearing Wang An’s words, the surrounding people felt a sense of sadness, and everyone fell silent.

Working in a big city might seem glamorous, but only those experiencing it truly know the hardships. Not only do they bear the pressure of high-intensity work and high rent, but they also have to endure the disdain and mockery of these rich second-generation kids.

With an income of three thousand, survival is difficult, so how much better could those earning six or seven thousand be?

Undoubtedly, the vast majority of those present fell within this range.

What Wang An said was true, but it carried a strong sense of face-slapping.

Seeing Su Rui still silent, a smile appeared on Wang An’s face as he continued to press his advantage: “If I’m not mistaken, this sales representative probably still rents in some dark, damp basement that never sees sunlight, right?”

This Wang An was getting a thrill from face-slapping, seemingly having completely forgotten his original intention of pursuing love.

However, he was also trying to convince Zhou Anke that only when all material conditions are met can one talk about feelings; otherwise, everything is just an illusion.

“Am I right, Mr. Sales Representative? If you have the courage, tell us your current address.” Wang An was overbearing, his manner making everyone around feel irritated!

At this moment, Zhou Anke was tightly holding Su Rui’s arm, as if the girl was very afraid the latter would get angry.

“Su Rui, let’s go. Let’s go watch a movie,” Zhou Anke said worriedly, clearly concerned about Su Rui’s emotions.

Seeing this scene, Wang An was almost furious.

“I live at North Bay No. 1,” Su Rui looked at Zhou Anke with gentle eyes, then said to Wang An.

“North Bay No. 1? What kind of place is that? Is it near the Eighth or Ninth Ring Road, almost at the Ninghai-Hangzhou border?” Wang An laughed loudly, but as he laughed, the expression on his face suddenly froze!

“That’s impossible!”

Everyone was watching, not knowing why Wang An suddenly lost composure.

Because at this moment, Wang An suddenly remembered that the North Bay Su Rui mentioned was a wealthy area in Ninghai that not many people knew about! They say a million buys a house, ten million buys neighbors. The houses there are priced in the hundreds of millions, and the neighbors are all either rich or noble. Even those in the top ten of China’s rich list own mansion-style properties there!

Living in North Bay, and at No. 1, how was that possible?

People who can afford to buy houses there would still wear twenty-something yuan Warrior shoes and work as sales representatives in pharmaceutical companies? That’s utterly ridiculous!

Wang An mockingly said: “You’re really talking nonsense. Do you know how expensive the houses there are? Do you know the status of the people living there? For a small sales representative like you, even if you worked for ten lifetimes, you couldn’t afford a house there!”

“I have no reason to lie to you,” Su Rui said coldly. Looking at this self-satisfied rich second-generation, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes.

Indeed, he wasn’t lying to Wang An. North Bay No. 1 was the Lin family villa, and it was the largest mansion-style courtyard in North Bay!

This doesn’t mean Lin Fuzhang could squeeze into the top ten of China’s rich list, but rather that he had a unique vision and had started investing before North Bay was developed! Now the price of those villas has multiplied more than tenfold!

“And regarding what you said earlier, I think I need to make a response,” Su Rui had always considered himself a reasonable person, but sometimes certain individuals are too annoying, and reason has no effect on them, so fists become necessary.

“I’m a small figure struggling in this society, without a good father, without a wealthy family, not even knowing where my parents are, growing up in an orphanage. But I am upright, kind, passionate, and willing to strive for my dreams. I believe this is my greatness. Small figures become big figures because they always work hard for their dreams and never give up. So what if you’re a rich second-generation? If I can’t be a rich second-generation, I’ll be a rich first-generation!”

Su Rui’s gaze was calm, but his words were powerful, falling into the hearts of those around him, making them look at Su Rui differently.

If someone else had said such words, it would have seemed like yielding to the rich second-generation or a powerless quibble. But when Su Rui said it, it created a completely different result.

If I can’t be a rich second-generation, I’ll be a rich first-generation!

Positive energy, this term seems to be getting further and further away from this impetuous society, and is increasingly filled with sarcasm. But after Zhou Anke heard Su Rui’s words, her heart tightened, and she firmly held the hand of the man beside her.

From their return to Liantang until now, there had been some tacit understanding between her and Su Rui. Zhou Anke could clearly feel that Su Rui wasn’t just saying empty words; what he said represented his true feelings.

Zhou Anke now knew that Su Rui wasn’t a simple sales representative. He had a mysterious background and strong skills, shouldering the task of protecting Lin Aoxue. Such a mysterious man, to have grown to his current state, must have put in countless efforts that ordinary people couldn’t imagine, just as he said—upright, kind, passionate, never giving up on dreams, always holding hope.

Therefore, after hearing Su Rui’s words, her heart was filled with deep emotion. Every word and action of this man was so touching.

Su Rui’s words were filled with an indescribable aura, making the gazes of those around gradually firm. Red banknotes were scattered on the ground, but they no longer accepted this rich second-generation’s money, because these hundred-yuan notes carried too much mockery and contempt. They couldn’t bend their spines for a mere hundred yuan.

Just as Su Rui’s words made those around him boil with passion, Wang An sneered: “Although your speech makes people think you’re a passionate youth, society doesn’t lack people like you—those who have heard many principles, drunk many chicken soups for the soul, but still can’t live a good life.”

Su Rui suddenly smiled, his smile radiant yet cold: “That’s also why I’ve been talking less today. For people who can’t be reasoned with, I usually use my fists.”

“What are you going to do?” Wang An retreated two steps vigilantly, thinking Su Rui was about to attack.

But Su Rui shook his head, took out his phone, and after the call connected, said: “Li Yang, find out how many Diana Diamond stores there are in Ninghai and destroy them all. If this brand dares to enter Ninghai again in the future, I’ll hold you responsible!”
