Silver Overlord

Chapter 2: Not salted fish

Views:

Sitting in the Rolls-Royce luxury car, Yan Liqiang looked at the scenery outside the car with strange eyes. Neither the driver nor the beautiful female secretary beside him spoke.

A luxury car is a luxury car.

Along the way, many times, the driver didn't even need to honk the horn. After noticing this car, the cars on both sides of the lane would deliberately keep a distance from it. As for the traffic lights, no car would cut in, for fear of any collision with this car, which would be a tragedy.

These luxury cars, which cost millions of dollars, are daunting to those who want to commit fraud, not to mention ordinary cars.

Thinking about the situations where cars honked at him when he was riding his electric bike, Yan Liqiang confirmed one thing again: in this world, it is good to be rich!

In twenty minutes, the Rolls-Royce had already left Baichi Lane and was about to enter the city's expressway...

Yan Liqiang had been waiting, he knew that the woman would definitely call.

In the quiet carriage, I suddenly remembered the song of Phoenix Legend.

"The boundless horizon is my love, the flowers are blooming at the foot of the rolling green hills, what kind of rhythm is the most swinging, what kind of song is the most cheerful..."

Yan Liqiang took out his Huawei phone, and the screen was flickering, showing an incoming call from "my wife"...

The "wife" is Lu Jiaying. The contact's name card saved in the phone has not been modified yet...

This call was exactly what Yan Liqiang expected.

He took a deep breath and handed the phone to the beautiful secretary beside him.

The beautiful female secretary nodded, took the phone from Yan Liqiang, and pressed the speakerphone button.

Lu Jiaying's sobbing voice came from the phone, "Li Qiang, why did you lie to me and hide these things from me? We have been together for several years. Is there something wrong with me? I was wrong. I am just an ordinary little woman..."

The beautiful female secretary glanced at Yan Liqiang, who nodded. Then the female secretary spoke in English.

Lu Jiaying graduated from a foreign language college and has been working in a small foreign trade company in this city for many years. He has no problem understanding a little English.

"Hello, Miss Lu Jiaying, I am Claudia, the young master's personal assistant. I am responsible for handling the trivial matters in the young master's life. If you have anything to say, you can talk to me..."

The sobbing on the other end of the phone suddenly stopped, as if the woman didn't expect that the person who answered the phone would be this woman named Claudia.

"Ah... Where's Li Qiang... I want to talk to him..."

At this time, Lu Jiaying spoke English haltingly.

The beautiful female secretary said seriously, "You have wasted too much of the young master's time and disappointed him. He originally thought that you would be his true love after returning to China, but the final result has proved that you are not. So, please don't waste our young master's time, Miss Lu. Our young master's time is very precious and we don't want to waste it on worthless things. If you feel that you have been hurt and need compensation, please take legal action to resolve it. Our international legal team will be waiting for you at any time!"

"Please let Li Qiang talk to me on the phone. I was wrong... I..."

Seeing Yan Liqiang nodded, Claudia hung up the phone and handed the phone to Yan Liqiang.

Yan Liqiang took the phone, deleted the contacts directly, then turned off the phone. Finally, he leaned weakly on the chair, his chest heaving, and his heart was broken with pain.

The Rolls-Royce came down from the expressway and stopped directly on the street not far from the high-speed rail station.

The high-speed rail station here is on the outskirts of the new city. It was just completed last year. Except for the high-speed rail station where there are more people coming and going, other places are very quiet.

"Next time if you have such business, remember to find me, thank you, boss..." The blonde beauty smiled happily and spoke in Chinese. Before getting off the car, she took the initiative to kiss Yan Liqiang on the face, then took off her glasses, loosened her hair and draped it over her shoulders, got out of the car, took a suitcase from the trunk, put on a windbreaker, and walked towards the high-speed rail station.

The driver glanced at Yan Liqiang in the rearview mirror, started the car, and drove into the traffic.

"Young man, that's good. With your personality, you are a tough guy. You will definitely do great things in the future..." The driver in Armani, who had been silent on the road, finally spoke the first sentence at this time, which seemed to be a compliment.

Yan Liqiang forced a smile but didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, the Rolls-Royce stopped at an intersection in the old city. The roadside here was planted with willow trees. Going further from here is the national highway, and not far from here are several universities. Standing here, you can see the lights coming from the campuses in the distance.

The road here is very quiet, with few vehicles passing by and no surveillance.

Yan Liqiang got out of the car.

The driver, wearing Armani, also got out of the car, removed the front and rear license plates of the Rolls-Royce as quickly as possible, replaced them with another set of license plates, and then got directly into the car. In the blink of an eye, he drove onto the national highway and disappeared from Yan Liqiang's sight.

Yan Liqiang stood languidly under the light on the roadside, like a petrified statue. He stood there for five full minutes before he reached out, took out a pack of cigarettes from his clothes and lit them for himself.

Dim lights, swirling smoke, and a lonely man with a ruthless aura, such a scene made the people who passed by him on bicycles feel nervous. They pedaled their bicycles very fast for fear of being robbered.

The cigarette butts on the ground piled up one after another.

Today's scene was very much like a scene in a movie. Yes, all of this was directed by Yan Liqiang himself.

He had already guessed that Lu Jiaying came to see him today just to break up with him. Starting from the past two months, it became increasingly difficult to get through to Lu Jiaying on the phone. Even if he got through, he would just say a few brief words and hang up. Later on, Lu Jiaying even used various excuses to not answer his calls, and the time they met became less and less. At that time, he had a premonition that something was wrong with Lu Jiaying. Finally, when he went to meet a client a few days ago, he saw Lu Jiaying walking out of the Hilton Hotel holding the BMW man's hand, and then he understood everything.

After asking a friend in Lu Jiaying's company, Yan Liqiang knew everything. The man with the BMW was a crappy director who had just joined Lu Jiaying's company. His family was well off, probably worth several million. On the first day he drove a BMW to work, he saw that Lu Jiaying was pretty and started pursuing her. Lu Jiaying quickly fell for the man's pursuit, and the two hit it off and soon got together.

This is a heartless age, and sometimes a person's betrayal is so easy.

Yan Liqiang used to think that Lu Jiaying was not such a person, but when the incident happened to him, he realized that he was just naive after all.

During today's meeting, Yan Liqiang had already guessed what Lu Jiaying was going to say to him.

The foreign beauty named Claudia, who was dressed like Iron Man’s secretary, was an international student he invited from Shanghai.

Claudia is British and is about to return to her home country. She used to work in a bar in Shanghai at night and only earned a few hundred yuan a day. Yan Liqiang gave her 4,000 yuan, which was more than she earned in a week. After knowing that she was asked to play such a role, Claudia happily accepted the job.

The Rolls-Royce was rented from a car rental company in Shanghai, with cross-city service, costing 15,000 yuan a day.

The license plate of the rented Rolls-Royce was a flaw, so Yan Liqiang gave the driver another 6,000 yuan to ask him to temporarily change the license plate.

There were very few Rolls-Royces in this city, and the operation was carried out at night, so it didn't take long to change the license plate, only a few hours. Under Yan Liqiang's financial offensive, the driver who had made some extra money also agreed.

There are not many lines, they were practiced beforehand, just a few sentences, without any flaws. Armani is the driver's work uniform.

After spending more than 20,000 yuan, Yan Liqiang finally achieved a "comeback" tonight, giving his ex-girlfriend and the BMW man an unforgettable memory.

The 20,000 yuan is not a small amount for Yan Liqiang. Considering his current job, it is equivalent to his salary for several months.

Is it worth it

This may not be worth it for others, but for Yan Liqiang, he thinks it is worth it.

Stephen Chow has a line in "Shaolin Soccer" - If a person has no dreams, what is the difference between him and a salted fish

After watching "Shaolin Soccer", this sentence has been lingering in Yan Liqiang's mind. To Yan Liqiang, he feels that for ordinary people like him, dreams are too empty, too illusory, and too literary. It is better to pretend to be real and down-to-earth, which is deeply recognized and loved by the general public.

Therefore, his life motto that motivates him to keep working hard is: If a person does not pretend to be cool, what is the difference between him and a salted fish

If you pretend to be cool with taste, style and level, then the realm and meaning of life will come out. For example, Boss Wang first sets a small goal of earning 100 million yuan, and Boss Ma says that he has never touched money, and so on. It can be said that the history of human society's development is a history of pretending to be cool in different ways.

The lowest level of pretense is just a vulgar show-off, while the highest level of pretense is a sacred ritual. This is the level of pretense.

Everything about today is perfect.

If he hadn't been pretending to be so arrogant today, the result would have been completely different. He would be no different from a salted fish.

He is not a lazy guy, so he has to pretend today. Judging from the effect, his pretending today can get 95 points.

When the ninth cigarette butt fell to the ground, Yan Liqiang crumpled the empty cigarette shell into a ball and threw it hard on the ground.

"Hold… "

The word that came out of his mouth was low and hoarse, like the howl of a wounded wolf. It was also this one word that made Yan Liqiang vent all the resentment and depression in his heart.

Yan Liqiang let out another long breath and felt that the depression in his heart had lessened a lot. Thinking about the scene he directed today, which was a modern version of revenge, Yan Liqiang laughed. It started with a smile, and then it was a loud laugh. He laughed so hard under the street light that he fell forward and backward, and laughed until tears came out, like a lunatic.
