"Forget it, let's go in." Xu Chen said helplessly, holding a few tickets. As soon as he did, sharp-eyed scalpers surrounded him.
"Hey buddy, are you selling those tickets?"
"Yes, the concert is about to start, it's two thousand a ticket, and I'm in a hurry to go in with my girlfriend."
"I'll offer 2,500, bro, don't give it to him, he doesn't have a girlfriend."
"What are you interrupting for? You think I have a girlfriend while I don't? Bro, I'll offer 2,800 per ticket, you sell me two."
Seeing the two scalpers ignoring his bid, Xu Chen smiled and continued.
"Hey, hey, hey, I haven't even said anything yet, and you've already started bidding?"
"I told you not to interrupt, let the guy talk."
"You're the one interrupting, buddy. Name your price."
The two scalpers stared longingly at Xu Chen and Wang Li, seemingly determined to get their hands on the tickets. Xu Chen coughed slightly.
"Ten thousand yuan a piece, or get lost."
"Brother, what you've done..."
"Look closely, these are VIP seats, front row of the inner area, where you can shake hands directly with Wang Fei. Is 10,000 yuan a lot of money?" Xu Chen smiled as he looked at the two scalpers. Since the concert was still 20 minutes away from starting, he might as well play along with them.
Upon seeing the ticket, the two scalpers immediately became even more obsequious. Just as they were about to bid again, a young woman dressed in designer clothes approached Xu Chen and Wang Li.
"I'll offer 20,000, 20,000 per ticket."
"Deal." Xu Chen agreed so quickly that the scalpers didn't even have time to react. After the WeChat transfer, Xu Chen and Wang Li walked into the venue. The girl's eyes showed slight surprise; she had originally thought the couple were also scalpers. After buying the goods, she also walked into the Bird's Nest arm in arm with a man.
"Chenchen, look, it's an advertisement for Liren Pharmaceuticals." After entering the venue, Xu Chen followed Wang Li's gaze to the billboard and indeed found Liren's advertisement. The two walked to their seats and sat down. The man and woman who had bought tickets earlier also came to sit next to Xu Chen.
"Hello, brother. Thank you for selling us two tickets." The man greeted Xu Chen first.
"It's nothing." Xu Chen handed him a cigarette, which the man lit and began to smoke, chatting with Xu Chen.
"Hey bro, are you a fan of Wang Fei?"
"No, and neither is my girlfriend. It's just that someone gave me a few tickets, so I came over for a walk to take a look."
"It seems you must be rich and powerful, brother. Let's get acquainted. My name is Zhao Weisheng, and I just returned from abroad."
"Xu Chen." The two shook hands. Upon hearing the name Xu Chen, Zhao Weisheng immediately perked up and began to carefully examine Xu Chen.
"Brother, I am not a boy."
“I am Zhao Weimin’s younger brother.”
"Oh, hello, Wei Ge's younger brother? Nice to meet you." Xu Chen shook hands with Zhao Weisheng again.
At this point, Zhao Weisheng's female companion was getting impatient. Her boyfriend was chatting with other guys during his concert, completely ignoring her. Any girl would be a little upset.
"Alright, Weisheng, Wang Fei is coming out soon, stop chatting."
As luck would have it, the music started playing at that moment. Zhao Weisheng didn't hear his girlfriend's complaints and continued chatting with Xu Chen.
"Brother Chen, after the concert ends, shall we call my brother out for a get-together?"
"Alright, you guys decide on the place. I'll take my girlfriend home first, and then I'll be there."
Zhao Weisheng glanced at Wang Li and immediately felt envious of Xu Chen. He leaned close to Xu Chen's ear and whispered, "Brother Chen, I really envy you. You can date freely, unlike me. My life has been arranged by my family, including my marriage."
"Why do you say that? Marriage and love are personal rights, and parents have no right to interfere."
“Brother Chen, you don’t understand. My girlfriend is the eldest granddaughter of the Su family in Jiangnan. They are a very wealthy business family. If the second generation of the Zhao family wants to gain a foothold in Jiangnan, the support of the Su family is especially important.”
"What a tragedy for a big family." Xu Chen patted Zhao Weisheng on the shoulder. Su Yue's face was almost white with anger. Was Zhao Weisheng ignoring her? Damn it! After the concert, she would definitely teach him a lesson and make him understand his place in the family.
"So rich, yet you can't even buy concert tickets?" Xu Chen teased Zhao Weisheng.
"There were no plans to go to the concert today; it was her decision at the last minute," Zhao Weisheng said with a hint of helplessness.
Xu Chen stopped communicating with Zhao Weisheng. He was afraid that if they continued, Zhao Weisheng, who was full of resentment, would vent all his grievances and then explode his emotions here.
"Brother Chen, Brother Chen." Zhao Weisheng called out to Xu Chen a few times, but he didn't respond. So he turned around and watched the concert. Two and a half hours later, the concert ended smoothly. Just as Zhao Weisheng was about to say goodbye to Xu Chen, Su Yue stood in front of him.
"Weisheng, why did you ignore me during the concert just now?"
"It's probably because the music is too loud," Zhao Weisheng casually explained, as he searched for Xu Chen in the crowd.
Who is that man?
“He’s my brother’s brother, named Xu Chen. He’s an old acquaintance of our family. I need to get together with him. You should go back first.”
"Come shopping with me."
"It's so late, you should go home first." Zhao Weisheng quickly went up to Xu Chen as soon as he saw him come out.
"Brother Chen, how about the three of us get together later?"
Xu Chen nodded. "I'll take your sister-in-law home first, and you can make the arrangements."
Zhao Weisheng watched Xu Chen and Wang Li leave, but when he turned around, he saw Su Yue angrily get into the car. Feeling helpless, he walked to Su Yue's car window and said, "Su Yue, you come from Jiangnan, so you may not know how important this man is in the capital. He is an old acquaintance of my family and an ally of my grandfather."
"Him? Grandpa Zhao's ally?" Su Yue didn't believe it at all. She ordered her men to drive away. Seeing that Su Yue was in a bad mood, Zhao Weisheng stopped explaining, watched her leave, and then called his brother.
An hour later, the three brothers had barbecue near Kyoto University.
"Chen Di, I was wondering why you left in such a hurry after class. Turns out you went to a concert."
"Sorry, Viagra."
"I understand, it's just a date between you and Wang Li."
"Brother, Brother Chen, cheers!"
"cheers!"
The three raised their beers and drank them down in one gulp. As they drank, Zhao Weisheng, just as Xu Chen had said, erupted in resentment. Under the influence of alcohol, he denounced his parents' injustice and their forced marriage.
"Brother Chen, my brother told me you are a very capable person. Could you help me and persuade my parents?"
Xu Chen remained silent. This was the Zhao family's own family matter. Although he had the ability to handle it, it was best to refrain from interfering. Zhao Weimin patted his younger brother's shoulder. Then he said to Xu Chen, "I'm sorry, Brother Chen, my brother was talking nonsense and made things difficult for you."
“It’s alright, it’s only human nature, I understand. Keep drinking.” As soon as Xu Chen finished speaking, Zhao Weisheng knelt down in front of Xu Chen.
"Brother Chen, please help me!"
