He has been a businessman, traveled to mountains and seas, and experienced all sorts of things.
Therefore, they had naturally heard of some well-known business leaders.
Among them, Liu Chang'an is considered one of the wealthiest men in Donghai City.
"Are you talking about Liu Chang'an?"
When Zhao Defu heard Jiang Sheng mention Liu Chang'an's name, he couldn't help but feel curious: "I didn't expect Liu Chang'an to be a son-in-law who married into the family. I remember he was even in the Donghai City newspaper. I remember seeing a newspaper article about him on my exam paper when we were in the countryside."
“That’s right, it’s the newspaper we saw in town, it’s about him.”
Jiang Sheng nodded and continued, "Liu Chang'an originally lived in a small mountain village, just like us, and his life was poor."
"However, later in college, I met my future girlfriend on campus."
"The two got together immediately, and his girlfriend came from a well-known old family in Donghai City. After they got married, Liu Chang'an transformed from a poor boy from a mountain village into a son-in-law of a wealthy family."
"However, after the two got married, things changed within the family. As Liu Chang'an's influence grew, he eventually seized all of his father-in-law's assets, which is truly regrettable!"
At this point, Jiang Sheng shook his head, looking quite emotional.
After hearing Jiang Sheng's explanation, Zhao Defu couldn't help but curse, "I never imagined that Liu Chang'an, who was in the newspapers for his lavish wedding, would have such a thing happen behind the scenes!"
"It's one thing to be a kept man, but he earned it through his own abilities. However, he also ruined his wife and her entire family. That's just too hateful!"
The more Zhao Defu thought about it, the angrier he became, and he started cursing Liu Chang'an.
After he finished cursing, he seemed to suddenly realize something and turned to look at Jiang Sheng, who was walking beside him.
"Wait a minute, Sheng-ge, why are you suddenly bringing up Liu Chang'an? Are you trying to tell me that Chen Yaofu is planning to do what Liu Chang'an did and take over his father-in-law's assets?"
"That's roughly the idea."
Jiang Sheng nodded: "That's right. I think Chen Yaofu already has a lot of power in his hands. Otherwise, he wouldn't dare to go to a place like Night Rose at this juncture. Otherwise, if his wife finds out, wouldn't that be a big problem?"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Defu nodded in sudden understanding: "I understand now, no wonder you did this, Brother Sheng!"
"But I never imagined that Liu Chang'an, a son-in-law of a wealthy family who is reported all over the country, would secretly ruin his father-in-law's family like this. It's really unimaginable!"
Seeing Zhao Defu's angry expression, Jiang Sheng simply smiled faintly.
It's no wonder he was so angry. After all, Liu Chang'an's grand wedding to the heiress of a wealthy family was reported in newspapers all over the country. It was such a sensation that everyone in the country knew about it.
More importantly, Liu Chang'an is quite a man of great courage. After marrying the heiress of a wealthy family, he clearly demonstrated his business acumen, directly boosting his father-in-law's family's wealth to a new level.
It's hard for anyone to believe that a business genius like him could have done something like this behind the scenes.
“There are actually many people in this world who are treacherous like Liu Chang’an and Chen Yaofu, but we just haven’t seen them all.”
The reason Jiang Sheng could say such things so casually was because he had actually seen many such ungrateful people in his previous life.
Men become bad when they have money. The reason why some people can still stick to their original intentions is simply because they have extremely strong personal qualities, can resist temptations, and have received education and have a set of values that enable them to resist external temptations.
Some people can't do it, and naturally they will be like Liu Chang'an and Chen Yaofu, betraying their father-in-law's family who supported them.
What he learned from Brother Black Tiger about Chen Yaofu was far more than what he and Zhao Defu had just discussed; it was even more appalling.
“People like Chen Yaofu, who come from humble beginnings, have not seen much of the world, and coupled with the constraints of their environment, it is inevitable that they will have an inferiority complex.”
"Therefore, after getting together with a rich heiress, due to his own limitations and in order to achieve great success, he naturally obeyed his wife's family and was completely subservient to them."
"However, once they have the opportunity to rise to the top, once they have a certain amount of power in their hands, coupled with a broadened horizon, their desires will naturally swell even more."
"Once they reach a certain level, they will naturally be dissatisfied with their current position. In addition, since they became successful because they married into their wives' family, their inferiority complex will drive them to constantly want to surpass their father-in-law's family."
"Once they become completely independent, they will want to bury their history of how they made their fortune and will not want to admit that they succeeded because of women."
As he said this, Jiang Sheng's face showed a hint of sarcasm.
"Therefore, once these 'phoenix men' are given the opportunity to soar to great heights, they will no longer know how to be grateful. Instead, they will regard their past experiences as shame. Chen Yaofu is a simple example of this, as is Liu Chang'an, whom I just mentioned."
After listening to Jiang Sheng's explanation, Zhao Defu nodded as if he understood but not quite.
"I won't say anything else, but I'm the first person I can't stand that my father-in-law's family, who helped me get ahead, would dare to do something so treacherous and betray me!"
Zhao Defu grumbled and complained to Jiang Sheng about it, then remembered what Jiang Sheng had said earlier and couldn't help but ask curiously, "But Brother Sheng, what did you mean by 'phoenix man' earlier?"
Caught off guard by Zhao Defu's question, Jiang Sheng finally realized what was happening and gave a hasty explanation.
"Phoenix man" refers to a poor man who, after rising to a high social status, becomes ungrateful and only wants to be with the daughter of a wealthy family, thus exploiting her family.
After listening to Jiang Sheng's explanation, Zhao Defu nodded.
"That's quite apt. Chen Yaofu is a real scoundrel. His wife was incredibly unlucky to marry him!"
As Jiang Sheng walked forward, he listened to Zhao Defu's words, but found it difficult to explain what happened next.
After all, even if he told Zhao Defu about the things he experienced in his previous life, Zhao Defu would not fully understand them.
