Chapter 03 Chapter 3

Song Lingxi said solemnly: "Secretary Qian, Xie Qiao and Zong Fei are all successors of communism, inheriting the glorious traditions of revolutionary predecessors, and love the motherland and the people... They are equal in identity, status, and personality. Why do you have any opinions?"

Song of the Young Pioneers... This is such a hard truth that Secretary Qian was speechless.

He had just been transferred from the company's secretarial department to work as Mr. Zong's personal secretary a few months ago. He had only met Song Lingxi a few times and had never thought that she was such a naive person. In his opinion, only people at the bottom of society would use such words to comfort themselves.

For a moment, Secretary Qian's eyes looking at Song Lingxi were filled with a sense of condescension and superiority from a class perspective.

The people watching the game just held their breath, fearing that Song Lingxi would say some extreme one-for-one trick like she did to Director Fu Zhao. But when they heard that she was really talking about reason, they all breathed a sigh of relief. Their actions were highly consistent and the level of hilarity was 100%.

The secretaries of the other three students were confused.

But they were too relieved too early. Secretary Qian misjudged Song Lingxi's fighting ability and said impatiently, "Miss Song, please come back to reality as soon as possible, recognize your and your son's identities, take the money and leave quietly, and don't be so delusional about talking about dignity."

Everyone, including Director Zhao, gasped, looked at Secretary Qian with a hint of pity, and silently lit wax for him.

"Ha." Song Lingxi laughed.

Here it comes, here it comes. Everyone trembled, waiting for Song Lingxi to make his move.

"Secretary Qian, I think you are the one who should recognize yourself," Song Lingxi said with disdain.

Secretary Qian frowned and asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"

Song Lingxi also looked at Secretary Qian with a puzzled look on his face. "You don't think that by working for people you think are superior, you can be like them, right?"

"What do you think you are in their hearts?"

Secretary Qian was stunned. He had not expected Song Lingxi to ask such a question.

But Song Lingxi's words were frank and sharp, and they pierced Secretary Qian's heart, which he was most reluctant to face. He had indeed entered the circle of upper society and had a glimpse of the luxury and splendor there. After a long time, he seemed to be a superior person himself. However, no matter how much he numbed himself, he could not change the fact that he existed in that circle as a servant.

He is different from those people in nature.

Secretary Qian's face suddenly turned pale. He opened his mouth to refute, but Song Lingxi didn't give him a chance. He answered himself: "I think they treat you like a fool."

Secretary Qian's face turned pale. When he heard Lingxi call him a clumsy guy, even his lips trembled. He didn't know whether he was angry or ashamed.

Song Lingxi was still not satisfied and began to analyze seriously:

"Secretary Qian, I understand you. Throughout history, there are many people who think similarly to you, such as the traitors and the people in the 1990s who would rather be second-class citizens to foreigners than stay in their own country. They are trying their best to go to the West. Guess how foreigners view these second-class citizens? I guess they view them as little idiots."

"Of course, I don't mean to scold you. I just gave you an inappropriate example so that you can fully understand my thoughts."

Secretary Qian: “…” If this is not considered cursing…

Song Lingxi took a deep breath, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Since Secretary Qian's fighting ability was too weak, his face turned pale after Song Lingxi asked him a question. He did not get angry and refute when Song Lingxi called him a little clown. Everyone thought that Song Lingxi's deep breath meant to end the fight.

I never expected that she hadn't finished scolding me yet. After she took a breath, she blurted out a long string of words without even stuttering:

"Let me digress. Have you heard of the idiom '沐猴而冠'? It literally means a monkey wearing a hat and thinking he is a person. Have you heard of 狗倚人势? It literally means a dog that bites people when it thinks it has support. You must know 奴颜负膝, right? It means slaves in feudal society who always think their masters are superior to others and can't wait to flatter their masters."

"Tsk, tsk, I feel so sorry for the parents of this kind of person."

At this point, Song Lingxi seemed to come back to his senses. "I didn't mean anything else. I just wanted to ask Secretary Qian if you knew the meaning of these idioms. I really didn't mean anything else. Don't think too much about it. Don't think too much about it."

Secretary Qian: “…”

Others: “…” How scary! I really underestimated her.

"So," Song Lingxi said with a smile after cursing, "If you don't want to be a little idiot, you have to be a reliable successor to socialism. Don't you agree, Secretary Qian?"

"..." Good fellow, you have made the point from beginning to end. It turns out she has been waiting here. Should I say it is worthy of her?

Secretary Qian was already numb. It was not that he had no eloquence or ability to refute, but he was caught off guard and someone said something that revealed the thing in his heart that he wanted to hide the most and did not want others to see. It was like being stripped naked and thrown in public, with everyone watching his embarrassment.

In other words, Secretary Qian's defenses were broken, and he was left with nothing but panic and shame. His mind went blank, and he couldn't organize any words to refute the allegations.

After Song Lingxi finished cursing, even Secretary Qian himself breathed a sigh of relief. All he wanted now was to quickly escape from this extremely embarrassing place.

Only then did Zong Fei, who had been watching the show, slowly speak up, "Xie Qiao, I apologize to you for the fight."

Secretary Qian: ! ! ? You said you would apologize earlier, why should I be scolded here! ?

The others were also extremely shocked. They didn't expect that the only heir of the clan would apologize so easily. This was unscientific.

Zong Fei glanced at the expressions of these people one by one, and a hint of mockery flashed across his eyes.

When he finally looked at Song Lingxi and her son, Zong Fei paused. Only the mother and son looked relaxed, as if it was natural for Zong Fei to apologize. It should be said that apologizing for doing something wrong is also natural, but some people think it is ridiculous.

It makes the normal reactions of normal people appear abnormal.

Xie Qiao said calmly: "I accept the apology, just stay away from me from now on."

The reason why Xie Qiao accepted Zong Fei's apology was very simple. He did not suffer any loss in this fight and he was not as fragile as his mother thought.

Except for Zong Fei, Wang Yizheng and the other two were just fakes. He didn't fight back at the beginning of the fight and deliberately let them punch him in the face a few times.

He started to fight back only after leaving evidence, and he targeted places that could not be seen. So although his injuries looked serious, they were actually just surface injuries. The ones who were actually seriously injured were those three people. They would know the pain when they returned home at night.

As for Zong Fei, he did not take action when the three fake guys were trying to beat Xie Qiao, and he just watched when Xie Qiao was beating up the three of them.

It wasn't until Xie Qiao knocked down Wang Yizhi and the other two men and met Zong Fei's eyes that Xie Qiao knew at that moment that this fight was inevitable.

It had nothing to do with Wang Yizhi trying to sow discord between them. It was just that they had disliked each other for a long time, and they both wanted to beat each other up.

After Zong Fei apologized, the remaining three people followed suit and apologized. Without staying a moment longer, they followed their secretary home dejectedly. They expected to be beaten up again when they got home, especially Wang Yizi. He had completely offended Zong Fei this time and would definitely be punished by his own father when he returned.

…

At the school gate, Song Lingxi asked Xie Qiao if he cared about the injury on his leg. Xie Qiao swung his leg and a sly smile appeared on his handsome face: "I lied to them."

Song Lingxi: “…” Good boy, he even lied to his own mother. He is worthy of being the black-bellied villain who later started a leading company in the industry from scratch and almost brought down the male protagonist who relied on the family business. He deserves the punishment, real punishment.

Song Lingxi rolled her eyes and threw the bag in her hand to Xie Qiao, "Let's go home."

Xie Qiao casually threw his schoolbag over his shoulder and put on Song Lingxi's slightly cute ladies' shoulder bag. The mother and son walked to the subway station near the school and took the subway home.

Passersby on the street kept looking back. They were all attracted by the two people's super high looks. Xie Qiao was wearing the school uniform of the nearby Golden Wing High School. He was a high school student with great looks and fighting skills. He was carrying a cute female bag that did not match his image. It was obvious that he was carrying the bag for his "sister". There were scars on his face that were only caused by a fight. The coolness and gentleness formed a strong contrast.

Some people even secretly took out their cell phones to take videos.

When Song Lingxi was almost reaching the subway station entrance, he was stopped by Secretary Qian who suddenly appeared.

"Ms. Song, Mr. Zong is back and is at your apartment now. Let me pick you up."

Secretary Qian's attitude changed 180 degrees and his tone became extremely respectful.

Song Lingxi was surprised at the change in Secretary Qian's attitude, but when he heard that Mr. Zong had returned, he paused, then nodded, "Okay."

Xie Qiao said nothing, but followed Song Lingxi with his head down.

Secretary Qian led Song Lingxi and Xie Qiao into the car. When they opened the door, they found that Zong Fei was also in the car.

Zong Fei looked straight ahead, his handsome yet childish profile showing to Song Lingxi and Xie Qiao who were getting on the bus, and he didn't seem to be planning on having a conversation.

Seeing this, Xie Qiao stepped into the car before Song Lingxi and sat next to Zong Fei. The two young men looked at each other and turned their heads away in disgust at the same time.

This is a bit awkward, Xie Qiao and Zong Fei had just had a fight and apologized, and now they are sitting in a car... What's even more awkward is the relationship between the three of them.

Song Lingxi is the lover of Zong Fei's father, Zong Fei and Xie Qiao are classmates, and Song Lingxi is Xie Qiao's mother.

Secretary Qian felt embarrassed for the three people when he saw this scene, even though he himself had been scolded by Song Lingxi before:), he wiped the sweat off his face and explained for Zong Fei:

"It was Mr. Zong who asked the young master to go to the apartment with him."

After Secretary Qian finished speaking, he thought the three people in the back seat would feel uncomfortable, and wondered whether he should say something else to ease the atmosphere. As a result, the three of them looked calmer than each other.

The little ugly one turned out to be himself.

Secretary Qian shut up silently. He regretted for the one hundred and first time saying those stupid words in the office. Not only did he offend his boss's partner, but he also didn't get along well with his boss's son.

Secretary Qian glanced at Song Lingxi with complicated eyes and sighed in his heart. This Miss Song had hit the nail on the head. What he had said today was indeed an embarrassment to his parents.

His parents are genuine farmers, and he climbed up step by step from the bottom to his current position. His father taught him since he was a child: no matter what you become in the future, you must remember that you belong to the loess land, are the son of a farmer, and must never forget your roots.

Secretary Qian had his own pride. When he was young, he kept his father's words in mind. But he didn't know when he started to forget all these words and became the person he once hated the most.

It was Miss Song who woke him up.

Song Lingxi didn't notice Secretary Qian's eyes. She was thinking about something. In the past, Zong Xuecheng never brought Zong Fei to her place, and of course he didn't allow her to go to the Zong family.

In Zong Xuecheng's eyes, her identity is not worthy.

A lover kept outside is not worthy of having contact with his son Zong Fei, let alone entering the Zong family.

So over the years, she and Zong Fei hardly met each other. If Xie Qiao hadn't gone to the same high school as Zong Fei and hadn't asked the parents to come to the rescue when they had a fight, she might not have had any contact with Zong Fei until her death.

In fact, in the original novel, even though Xie Qiao and Zong Fei were in the same high school, the original owner never met Zong Fei until his death.

So why is this time different?
