Chapter 220 You're Pathetic
"Annoying!" Li Zhen stopped and picked at his ear. "I told you, you're not seriously ill, are you? Why are you chasing after us like this? Are you crazy?"
The other party snorted: "Do you know who I am?"
"What business is it of ours who you are?"
"Hmph, listen up, I am an entrepreneur specially invited by your upper echelons."
"I think he's an entourage of an entrepreneur."
The other person hesitated for a moment, realizing that what they said didn't seem wrong.
However, he denied it, saying that the young man didn't know him anyway, and that he was an invited entrepreneur!
"I just got back from abroad!" That's the key point they emphasized.
"What does this have to do with me?"
other side:……
It doesn't matter.
"You want to see envy on my face?"
I do somewhat want to.
“Then you’ve come to the wrong person. I’m not envious of you at all; on the contrary, I pity you. Our own land is vast and rich, yet you didn’t feel superior when you went out, and now that you’ve come back, you think you’re superior because you came from outside. You’re truly pathetic.” After saying that, Li Zhen refused to waste any more words with this man, leaving him standing there dumbfounded.
It wasn't a sudden realization, but rather anger.
It's pointless to say anything to this kind of person; whatever they think is what they think.
To put it bluntly, he's selfish and single-minded; he wants people to fawn over him and admire him, and then he condescendingly gives them what he doesn't want.
Seeing Li Zhen return, Song Yi snorted, "Why are you bothering with that kind of lunatic!"
“Give him a lesson, let him experience some setbacks, so he won’t think he’s invincible.”
"Could he understand?"
"They probably don't understand, and they might be even angrier."
Song Yi was speechless: "You must be bored too."
"If someone comes up to you looking for trouble, you can't refuse. I'm just doing a good deed."
"Heh." Song Yi sneered.
"Alright, let's see if there are any books that interest you."
Song Yi snorted and didn't say anything more.
If we're talking about bookstores, they definitely have a huge selection of books. Even if you just come here, you can stay quietly for an afternoon and not want to leave.
As a girl with a photographic memory, she was like a mouse in a rice jar, unwilling to leave.
But in the end, you still have to leave.
Reluctantly putting down the book, Little Peach Blossom rubbed her hungry stomach.
"Let's go, it'll get dark soon." Li Zhen patted Xiao Taohua on the shoulder. "Besides, we still need to eat, otherwise we won't even have any food left."
"How about we come again tomorrow?" Little Peach Blossom suggested.
"Sure, come whenever you want. The bookstore is right here, you can't just run away."
It seems that's true.
Little Peach Blossom immediately calmed down.
"Are the books really that good?" Li Zhen flipped through a few books as well. He was at most interested, but he wouldn't say he liked them.
"It's very good." Little Peach Blossom nodded, especially since she had read many history books and knew so many historical figures, which was much richer than the history she had learned in school.
"If you like it, you can come here often. If you're really interested, you can buy it and look at it at your leisure."
"Okay, I understand. Let's go."
"Let's go eat first, then we'll go back. What are all these people doing here?"
"What's wrong with you! Do you know how much these clothes cost? Look at them, they're all dirty. And what's with the pickled vegetables you brought to the bookstore? This is a place to read, not a place to eat. What kind of people are you? A bunch of country bumpkins, you make me want to vomit!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. I got so engrossed in my book that I was just thinking of taking a bite, but I didn't expect..."
"There's more to this than you've thought of. Now, what do we do?"
"I...I have no money, I have no money to spend with you."
"You dare to throw that pickled vegetable on me when you have no money!"
"I'm so sorry, I'm really sorry. How about I wash your clothes for you and return them to you clean?"
"Ha, you wash them? Do you know that all my clothes need to be dry cleaned? Do you even know what dry cleaning is? Pfft, judging from your expression, you definitely don't know."
The other person stood awkwardly in place, feeling afraid, guilty, and terrified. He was carrying a tattered green bag, and although his clothes looked clean, they were patched in many places.
There were many onlookers, but very few actually came out.
After all, that person immediately claimed to be an entrepreneur invited back to China by the government, a big shot, while they were all small fry who couldn't afford to offend him.
A few years ago, they might have been able to confidently say that those people were capitalists, but deep down they would still be afraid when they actually saw these people's arrogant demeanor, especially since the other party was using the guise of being an entrepreneur invited back to China.
Other ordinary people might not know, but they understand how important it is to be invited by higher-ups.
"Why is it this person again?" Li Zhen looked over and was surprised to find that one of the people involved was the same middle-parted haircut man he had previously had a falling out with.
"That's really rude," Song Yi said with a look of disgust.
"If he didn't speak harshly, he wouldn't be a lunatic."
Song Yi looked at him: "Are you going over there?"
"Otherwise what? I can't stand seeing kind people being bullied." With that, he pushed through the crowd and went inside.
"Brother Li Zhen is amazing, he has a strong sense of justice!" Little Peach Blossom looked proud when she saw Li Zhen like this.
Song Yi: ...
He should go in first.
unwise.
"Oh, who do we have here barking? It's just a foreigner's lackey. We could hear it barking from far away, barking and barking nonstop."
"It's you!"
"That's right, it's me. What? Are you trying to bully me again?"
"This is my business and has nothing to do with you."
"It has nothing to do with me, but I can't stand seeing others being bullied. Of course, it's also wrong of this person to spill the food on you, but they've already apologized and said they'd wash it for you. You're being so aggressive, do you really think you're some kind of god who expects everyone to listen to you? You're just making a big joke of yourself!"
"Besides, you want to dry clean these clothes? Do you think everyone is stupid? They're just clothes bought from a regular supply and marketing cooperative. Why make such a fuss? If you're trying to scam someone, go find those custom-made ones. I'd respect you then. You're just trying to fool those who don't know any better."
"I'm not going to talk to you."
“I don’t want to talk to you either, but your presence is really affecting my mood.”
"Um, young man, this was my fault. I shouldn't have touched the food on him." Seeing that the man with the middle part was getting angrier, the previously hesitant man mustered up his courage and spoke up.
"Tsk, so it's my fault for meddling? Fine, I am meddling. Since you dislike me so much, why should I meddle? I'm just bored. Let's go!" The last four words were said to Little Peach Blossom and her group in the crowd.
He came to help out of a predicament out of kindness, but he didn't expect to run into someone who didn't appreciate it, and his good intentions were taken for granted.
Li Zhen wasn't really going to hold a grudge against this person; he just felt it was pointless to stay any longer, utterly pointless.
"Yes, I'm sorry, I..." Seeing that Li Zhen was angry, the other party still tried to explain, but Li Zhen was too lazy to pay attention to him and waved goodbye with Xiao Taohua and the others.
They left decisively and cleanly.
