Chapter 139: Bullied as soon as I arrived
Before leaving, Su Fengyi reminded Lei Zhen that after arriving in the Magic City, he must be calm and not be impulsive, because the Magic City is different here.
This is normal logic.
Because the Lin family is indeed powerful, if you offend someone with words or actions, it is very likely to cause a disaster.
But Lei Zhen uses anti-logical thinking.
Hui'an is his world. Although the casino responsible for transit is still open, it has actually stopped working.
Gao Wen is dead, and perhaps there are other people who can replace him, but the prerequisite is whether he can gain a foothold in Hui'an?
The answer is no!
Then the only candidate is Lei Zhen.
Under such circumstances, it was not wise for Lei Zhen to come to the Magic City and behave very obediently. Instead, being arrogant would make people feel at ease.
It’s like Wang Jian, a famous general of the Qin Dynasty, who led the three armies on a military expedition. In order to reassure the emperor, he submitted a memorial asking for money and beautiful women.
For those in power, what they fear is not that their subordinates are greedy, but that you are not greedy!
Therefore, from the moment Lei Zhen got on the car, he had to fully display his arrogance and greed, so as to reassure the boss.
"Come out and have a cigarette." Zhang Xianlong called Lei Zhen.
"Didn't you quit?" Lei Zhen said with a smile.
"How dare you say that?" Zhang Xianlong glared at him. "Isn't it all because of that cigarette of yours?"
In fact, there is no hatred between the two of them. Not only that, they are on the same side, both for Su Fengyi and her daughter, or in other words, for Lin Zhihan.
In this matter, Lei Zhen has his own ideas and Zhang Xianlong also has his own interests, but no matter what, they are comrades-in-arms for the time being.
The two men came to the garden of the mansion, lit cigarettes and sat there to smoke.
"Lei Zhen, this matter..."
Zhang Xianlong was about to speak when he was interrupted by Lei Zhen. He watched as the other party took out his mobile phone and called Su Fengyi.
"Boss Su, we have arrived safely."
"Old Zhang is a little unclear about the relationship between Hanbao and me. Would you like to explain it to him?"
Lei Zhen handed the mobile phone over directly.
But Zhang Xianlong waved his hand, meaning that no explanation was needed.
"No need to explain, Lao Zhang understands."
“…”
After saying a few words and hanging up the phone, Lei Zhen spread his hands towards the other party, with a half-smile on his face, as if with a hint of sarcasm.
"Protect your wife well." Zhang Xianlong said in a deep voice: "Some things cannot be crossed, otherwise-"
This is a warning, a rather feeble one.
What happened just now once again refreshed his understanding of Lei Zhen. Although he still looked unhappy, he had to admire the other party's meticulous thinking.
Madness is not a good thing, but it depends on the situation; greed always makes people disgusted, but it depends on the situation.
This move is powerful!
"Lao Zhang, what are you doing this for?" Lei Zhen asked.
"I did it for the young lady." Zhang Xianlong replied.
"Then what?"
"What else?"
"Like what you want or something."
"Do you believe me when I say no?"
"Hahaha……"
The two of them were testing each other here, knowing that they couldn't find out anything, but it was still nice to treat it as a chat.
There is a kind of sympathy...
No, how could there be such a feeling? If there is, it must be an illusion, but I can let it continue for now.
…
In the room, Lin Zhihan had just finished tidying up when there was a knock on the door.
"Dear guest, you may go downstairs for dinner."
"OK."
Lin Zhihan tidied her clothes in front of the mirror before opening the door.
Standing in front of me was a middle-aged man wearing a tuxedo and a mustache, who looked very elegant.
"You can be faster next time. It's very rude to make people wait outside." The middle-aged man said with his nose turned up. "I'm the housekeeper of Xiangzhang Mansion. My name is Phyllis. From now on, you can call me Mr. Phyllis."
"Okay, Phyllis..."
"The pronunciation is incorrect. It's Mr. Phyllis, not Mr. Fatty Lis."
"Yes, Phyllis first..."
"Oh! Mygod! Why is your English so bad? You really are from the countryside, so unfashionable."
Phyllis looked down at Lin Zhihan, her eyes full of sarcasm and ridicule.
"And your clothes? What kind of mentality would make you choose to be a village girl? No matter what, you are still a daughter of the Lin family, and this mansion also belongs to the Lin family. As a distinguished guest, don't you feel out of place?"
"Excuse me for being blunt, but each of your sisters is as high and mighty as a fairy, and you are so down-to-earth. I'm sure you've had a hard time these past few years, haven't you?"
"By the way, you must pay attention to etiquette when you eat later, otherwise you will become a laughing stock. Remember?"
He spoke eloquently without a single dirty word.
From inviting the other person to dinner and calling him a VIP to comparing him to a joke in the end, it directly hurt Lin Zhihan's heart.
She is young, but not stupid.
The butler addressed himself as a guest, revealed his own identity in the process, and kept making sarcastic remarks.
This made Lin Zhihan feel very aggrieved.
She thought she was home, but she was only sent to the Lin family's reception area, where she was even mocked by a housekeeper...
"Now please follow me downstairs."
The butler turned around gracefully, folded his hands in front of his abdomen, and walked downstairs step by step with Lin Zhihan.
"You can only take the next step down at a time, otherwise you'll be laughed at. You don't want to make a fool of yourself on your first day, do you?"
Lin Zhihan bit her lip, tears welling up in her eyes.
The other person was walking too fast and I was afraid I couldn't keep up so I took two steps, but I was immediately scolded again.
"Keep a good attitude. Our rules are very strict and everyone in the mansion must abide by them, including you."
"Okay, we're almost at the restaurant... Please, can you please keep up? I'm confused about your behavior. Why are you always so slow? You can be stupid, but you have to learn and listen, OK?"
At this time, Lin Zhihan felt extremely aggrieved and looked around helplessly, looking for Lei Zhen.
Housekeeper Phyllis suddenly turned around and frowned when she noticed her action.
"Why are you looking around like a country girl? This is a very, very, very bad habit. It will make you look like Cinderella."
"Do you know what Cinderella is? It's a fairy tale full of earthy flavor. It tells the story of a humble and dirty village girl..."
"Brother Zhen——"
Lin Zhihan finally saw Lei Zhen. She rushed over regardless of everything, feeling aggrieved. Tears fell halfway and dripped onto the clean floor.
"What's wrong?"
Lei Zhen's face suddenly changed. He hugged Lin Zhihan in his arms, staring at the housekeeper Phyllis with a strong murderous look in his eyes.
There is no need to ask what happened, it must be that you were bullied.
Fortunately, I came here with them. If Lin Zhihan had come alone, I really don’t know how I would have survived here.
"Let go of your dirty hands! This is our young lady from the Lin family. Her status doesn't allow her to have such close contact with an inferior!"
"Then let her go immediately and keep a distance of three meters, OK?"
Butler Phyllis walked over gracefully, still with his nose in the air and eyes full of disdain, and a rather rebellious temperament.
