Chapter 1029 How Much to Enjoy and How Much to Bear
Chang'an Club is known as the most luxurious private club in Beijing.
From the outside, I am afraid that no one would believe that this simple and old building is where the club is located.
Compared with the majestic Beijing Hotel opposite, the two sides are not on the same level at all.
But if you really want to go in and take a look, you can understand why Chang'an Club is known as the most luxurious.
Lobby.
Resplendent dragon chairs, screens carved with red sandalwood wood, colorful chandeliers...
In addition, at the entrance, there is a beautiful and moving female welcome.
If you didn't check it out yourself, you wouldn't believe that there would be hidden holes in the old building.
There are not many people in the hall.
Although the decoration is luxurious, the guests coming and going are not impetuous.
Some people sat quietly and enjoyed elegant classical music, and some people discussed business in low voices.
In the hall, there are mostly businessmen, but there are also politicians.
Here, they don't have much taboo.
Outsiders cannot enter the club unless they are led by a member.
Even if you are a member, the person you bring must be reviewed before you can enter.
Now that you have joined the club, everyone has the same thoughts, so naturally you don't have to shy away from others too much.
Moreover, the things that are generally discussed in the hall are generally not shady things, even if they are really overheard, it doesn't matter much.
Some government officials are soliciting investment, some businessmen are discussing cooperation, and some young men and women are whispering.
Just as everyone in the hall was immersed in this atmosphere, the club manager hurried down from upstairs.
Many people looked sideways at it!
Although the manager of the Chang'an club is not a celebrity, she represents the face of many people in the club.
Usually, unless a few guests come, she will go downstairs to greet them, and the others are led by waiters.
However, at this moment, the club manager hurried downstairs, obviously an important guest had arrived.
Just when everyone was guessing who was coming, they didn't keep everyone waiting.
Led by a young and beautiful woman, Li Dong and his party appeared in front of everyone.
Seeing the faces of Li Dong and his party clearly, the hall gradually became noisy.
Someone whispered: "Li Dong is here, is he also a member of the club?"
"Not sure, maybe. Besides Li Dong, Sun Yuehua is also here."
"And the daughter of Mayor Du's family."
"Sun Manman is here too."
"Let me tell you, why did Manager Lu come in person? Li Dong is in the limelight now, and everyone will give him three points of face."
"I heard that the Capital Club personally gave Li Dong a lifetime membership card. The Capital Club has always praised itself as the richest club in China, and even Chang'an has been trampled underfoot.
I thought that Li Dong must be taken away this time, but I didn't expect that the people in our club were not idle. "
"People from the Huaxia Alumni Association and the Entrepreneur Club have always been more arrogant and don't think much of us.
Our club has invited several times, but few actually become members.
Now that Li Dong has joined the club, will those people come? "
"I don't know, and it's hard to say. Don't look at our famous name, those people may not take it seriously."
"..."
There was a lot of discussion.
Although the Chang'an club is extravagant, its reputation is also in full swing.
But to be honest, it is somewhat different from professional merchant associations like the Entrepreneur Club.
Over at the Entrepreneur Club, there are a lot of hundreds of billions of groups, and tens of billions of groups are everywhere.
If you take any person out, they are all high-ranking bigwigs on the rich list. Even if they are not, the company they belong to is also one of the top 100 in China.
As for the Chang'an Club, the circle is quite high-end, but with the name of a private club, it seems to be a little weaker.
When the Entrepreneur Club holds a meeting, government officials will attend the meeting, hoping to learn from some development concepts.
This kind of thing usually doesn't happen in private clubs.
Others were talking about it, because they were not familiar with Li Dong, so no one went up to make friends for a while.
...
The manager of the club is surnamed Lu.
It's a woman in her early thirties, she can only be described as good-looking, but she is not the kind of charming and charming woman.
In this kind of top private club, it is not so easy to rely on the color to get ahead.
Without real materials, the club's behind-the-scenes owners dare not let her sit in the club alone.
Manager Lu's clothes are not revealing, and of course, he will not be conservative.
A very temperamental person, wearing a professional attire on his body, looks even more capable.
Short shoulder-length hair, slightly dyed yellow, doesn't look too eye-catching.
Before the people arrived, Manager Lu's laughter came: "Mr. Li, Mr. Sun, Ms. Shen, Manman, so you are here. No wonder the magpies started calling early in the morning. I also said that today's Why is the magpie so happy?"
Although it was the first time for Li Dong and Shen Qian to come here, Manager Lu seemed to be no stranger at all.
After greeting them enthusiastically, Manager Lu took the initiative to hand over a black card to Li Dong and Shen Qian.
Seeing Li Dong playing with the cards, Manager Lu smiled and said, "Mr. Sun and Manman both have membership cards of our club, so I won't introduce much.
Mr. Li and Ms. Shen are here for the first time, please visit us more in the future.
The club will also do its best to provide some help to its members..."
Manager Lu is very good at talking, and he can finalize the facts in a few words, and most people can't refuse.
Li Dong didn't care, he just smiled and said, "Then thank you Manager Lu, I'll ask someone to transfer the membership fee to the club's account later."
"Mr. Li, you're welcome. Every new member will be given a small gift from our club..."
"No, I'm not used to receiving gifts from others." Li Dong waved his hand and interrupted with a smile: "That's it, thank you Manager Lu."
Upon hearing this, Manager Lu quickly said, "Mr. Li is too polite, then I will send the account number to your secretary later."
Since people like Li Dong don't want to take advantage of this, don't force it.
Manager Lu has received so many people, and has long understood their minds.
Some people, if you send a card, they will accept it, but some people don't want it. This is very normal.
There is no need to force it, or you will offend others.
After exchanging some pleasantries, Manager Lu smiled again: "Would you like to look around first? Or do you already have a goal, if you look around, I..."
Just as she was about to say that she could serve everyone, Sun Yuehua said indifferently: "You're welcome, Manager Lu. We'll just say a few words when we come here, and we'll leave later."
Upon hearing this, Manager Lu quickly smiled and said, "Those guys, please do what you want."
After she finished speaking, she didn't walk away, but stood aside.
The richest man is here, Mrs. Sun's daughter and granddaughter are here, and Mayor Du's daughter is here. No matter whether they want to ask for service or not, they can't just leave without leaving the guests.
While she was waiting, Sun Yuehua clapped her hands and said loudly: "Everyone, please disturb everyone for a moment!"
Originally, other people didn't continue to talk about the matter, they talked about several people one after another.
Seeing Sun Yuehua take the initiative to greet him now, a businessman who knew Sun Yuehua smiled and said, "Mr. Sun, are you looking for a treat?"
Sun Yuehua smiled and said: "It's okay to treat guests, but let's put it later, today I mainly talk about a private matter, so I will disturb you."
"What's bothering you, we're all idle anyway, so just ask Mr. Sun if you have something to do."
"Yes, Mr. Sun, let's have a drink together later?"
"..."
Everyone started to talk one after another, someone said to buy Sun Yuehua a drink, but they looked at Li Dong, obviously they also wanted to communicate with each other.
However, the people here are not very familiar with Li Dong, so it is not easy to speak up.
Sun Yuehua responded with a smile, and then said to Sun Manman who lowered her head, "Manman, it's your turn!"
When he said this, the coldness in Sun Yuehua's eyes was obvious.
Not only against Sun Manman, but also against Sun Wenhua, and even Li Dong.
Sun Yuehua came forward for the negotiation between Li Dong and the Sun family.
Sun Yuehua agreed to Li Dong's conditions without even asking the old man for instructions.
But Sun Wenhua was asked to watch, but Sun Yuehua refused.
No matter how much she looked down on that brother, she would not let Sun Wenhua appear on this occasion.
He is the second-generation leader of the Sun family, and he is also a face figure and a member of the officialdom.
If Sun Wenhua came forward, the Sun family would really lose face.
She didn't care too much, she was a businessman, and Sun Manman was not her daughter, so it was not a big problem to be a witness.
But this time, the Sun family really lost face.
Like Sun Yuehua, whether she recognizes it or not, she is always from the Sun family.
This time, Li Dong took the opportunity to general the Sun family, using the experience of the Sun family to beat others, Sun Yuehua was naturally dissatisfied.
But she didn't want to have a falling out with Li Dong at this time, and neither did the Sun family.
Using Sun Manman's face in exchange for Li Dong's silence, the Sun family is willing to pay this price.
As for whether to retaliate in the future, that's another matter.
If there is a day when Li Dong is weak, don't blame the Sun family for making trouble.
If the Sun family had weakened one step earlier than Li Dong, then it would be as if today's incident had never happened. The big family can endure what others cannot bear while making publicity.
Sun Manman kept his head down, his face was full of humiliation, unwillingness, and resentment...
She wants to apologize to Li Dong?
In the lobby of the Chang'an Club, in front of so many people, apologize to a man who slapped her!
Not long ago, Han Yu humiliated her in another club.
Now, she was once again humiliated and abandoned as an outcast.
These people include her grandfather, her father, and her aunt.
As for Li Dong, she doesn't hate him so much now.
She hates these families even more!
These people, have you ever asked your own opinion?
These people, have you considered how you will meet people in the future?
Apologizing to Li Dong in front of so many people today, what will others think of her Sun Manman.
Humans are ashamed, and she is no exception.
Sun Yuehua spoke, but Sun Manman remained silent for a long time.
Sun Yuehua frowned slightly, and said coldly: "Manman, this is your grandfather's opinion!"
"Auntie... I..."
Sun Manman bit her lip, with tears in her eyes, and humiliated her face, "I... don't want to."
"you sure?"
Sun Yuehua said indifferently: "Since you don't want to, I won't force you, and you will bear the consequences yourself!
As the grandson family, you have enjoyed the glory and wealth, and you have to bear the responsibilities that should be borne.
unless……"
She didn't say what she said later, but Sun Manman understood what she meant.
Unless what?
Unless she leaves the Sun family!
Otherwise, she can't resist the old man's order, and she can't resist.
But after leaving the Sun family, is she still Sun Manman?
Even if the Sun family is now in decline, it is not comparable to ordinary families.
Could she give up all of this just for that little bit of self-esteem?
Sun Manman was not a firm person in the first place, but at this moment, his determination just now began to waver.
...
Li Dong and Shen Qian on the side seemed to be passers-by at the moment.
They didn't get involved in the conversation between the aunt and nephew.
Li Dong even found a seat and sat down, chatting with Shen Qian in a low voice.
"Do you think Sun Manman will resist?"
Shen Qian said softly: "It's hard to say."
Li Dong smiled and said: "There is nothing bad to say, I don't think so. If it were someone else, I'm not sure, she would definitely compromise.
People, things that are not their own, they have to bear as much as they enjoy.
If she earns the wealth of Wanguan family by herself, she will leave the family at the worst, or if she really wants to be like Sun Yuehua, old man Sun will not dare to force her.
Everyone has their own value and positioning, and her value is obviously not high.
The big family is so cold-blooded and ruthless. "
Shen Qian didn't take it seriously and said, "It's as good as an ordinary family. For the sake of profit, anything can happen in this society."
"That's true." Li Dong smiled.
Shen Qian said again: "Besides, when you say this, don't look at me thoughtfully. Our Du family is not a family, at most it is a family of newly promoted officials.
And my family relationship is not complicated. My dad has very few relatives, and my mom doesn't dare to come to my dad now.
My parents also have a very good relationship. There is only one daughter in the family, and there is nothing else, so everything you imagined does not exist in our family. "
Li Dong said aggrievedly: "I didn't imagine, you said it yourself."
Shen Qian gave him a blank look, but didn't continue to say more.
At this time, the struggle on the side also had the final result.
Sun Manman gritted her teeth hard, then closed her eyes and said loudly: "Today I am here to apologize to Li Dong!
sorry!
I was too self-willed and ignorant, which caused Li Dong trouble.
I apologize, I was wrong, I hope Li Dong can forgive me! "
coax!
The hall suddenly became noisy!
Many people were shocked, what happened?
Why did Sun Manman suddenly apologize to Li Dong?
Still in front of Sun Yuehua, what do you mean?
Someone whispered: "Didn't Sun Manman have been slapped by Li Dong before, why do you say that you are wrong now?"
"I don't know, it's not that simple. Seriously, apologize to Li Dong in front of the big guys. What is the Sun family thinking?"
"Sun Yuehua is also there, it seems that the Sun family knows it well, it's strange, it's so strange!"
"It's very strange. This is a slap in the face of the Sun family, but the Sun family just admitted it. Could it be that..."
"Du..."
"Hush, misfortune comes from your mouth!"
"Probably not. No matter how big that face is, he won't let the Sun family bow their heads."
"There must be no inside story!"
"..."
The hall was already full of noise, and Manager Lu of the club not far away was also surprised.
She was still wondering before, did Li Dong reconcile with the Sun family?
Otherwise, why would Li Dong and Sun Manman come to the club together? Unexpectedly, the result was beyond everyone's expectations.
The two sides did not reconcile at all, but Sun Manman completely bowed his head.
As everyone guessed, Manager Lu also took a deep look at a few people. This matter must not be so simple! For more exciting novels from rw, welcome to visit our reading institute
