Chapter 126 Respect Must Be Earned
Zhou Chong held his hand across his body, with Shan Qingshan's coat draped over his arm to cover himself.
"I didn't expect you to hang out with him."
"They're annoying."
"Are you angry?" Zhou Chong looked like he was about to teach Shan Qingshan a lesson if Shan Qingshan nodded in agreement.
Shan Qingshan shook his head. "No."
From the moment he entered the venue, many people looked at him with more or less contempt.
Zhou Chong's protection of him, Zhou Chong's favoritism towards him, and Zhou Chong's meticulous care for him.
Shan Qingshan likes it.
But in the arena of fame and fortune, those people are more likely to look at you with strange eyes and speculate about you.
If they truly respected him and thought he was a good match for Zhou Chong, that white-haired guy wouldn't have suggested the idea of swapping partners.
In their eyes, Shan Qingshan was just a companion who could be replaced at any time.
Shan Qingshan wanted to tell them no.
He needs to earn these people's respect before they can shut them up.
Shan Qingshan: "I'm going to the restroom."
"I'll go too."
"I'm not going with you."
Zhou Chong was displeased. "Why?"
Shan Qingshan lowered his gaze slightly, his meaning clear.
If he and Zhou Chong went into the same restroom, Zhou Chong wouldn't take care of things himself; instead, he would ask Shan Qingshan to help him.
Shan Qingshan: "You wait here."
"All right."
When Shan Qingshan went to the restroom and washed his hands after using the toilet, someone was standing next to him. Shan Qingshan remembered a man who had been staring at him while they were playing cards.
Xu Shao's eyes gleamed with a fox-like light as he placed a business card on the sink.
"If you're not doing well with Young Master Zhou, you can come to me anytime. I welcome you anytime."
Shan Qingshan didn't even look at it. After washing his hands and drying them, he left.
Young Master Xu stood in front of him, holding a famous business card in his hand.
"Just consider it an introduction. I've never heard of any scandals involving Zhou Chong before. You're young, so you might think this is a good thing, but it's not."
Xu Shao is a womanizer, and it's obvious at a glance that Shan Qingshan is still a virgin.
"I will give you a different experience."
He stuffed the business card into Shan Qingshan's breast pocket.
Shan Qingshan glanced down at him, then looked up at him again.
"So confident?"
Xu Shao was captivated by his gaze, his mind wandering. He took a step forward and leaned close to Shan Qingshan's ear in an intimate manner.
"Of course, I'm very confident in this regard. I think you're great, and we should get along very well."
Shan Qingshan punched him in the stomach.
Xu Shao immediately bent over in pain, his expression one of agony.
That punch was incredibly powerful!
Shan Qingshan grabbed his hair, pushed him into the sink, pressed down on the back of his neck, and turned the faucet on full blast.
Young Master Xu: !!!
Young Master Xu: "Holy shit, let go of me!"
After Shan Qingshan had watered him enough, he let go and tossed the person aside.
Xu Shao slammed his head against the cubicle door, his face contorted in pain.
His expression was one of disbelief.
How can this little beauty be so strong?
Isn't Zhou Chong someone you could easily drag away with a gentle tug?
Why is he being treated like a little chick in Shan Qingshan's hands now?
Shan Qingshan's voice was icy, "I also think I'm good enough, but you're not worthy, we're not compatible."
Shan Qingshan shook the water off his hands, took out some tissues to wipe himself down, and went outside.
As soon as Zhou Chong saw him, he asked, "Why are your clothes wet?"
"The tap is turned up too high."
"Change into something else. You might get sick later, but it's all over anyway."
"good."
Shan Qingshan changed his clothes and got into the car to go back.
The sponsors did some basic editing on the photos taken at tonight's event and started uploading them in the latter half of the banquet. I initially thought the hashtags would be something like "So-and-so outshines everyone" or "So-and-so has stunning beauty," which would boost sales of the sponsor's clothing.
Unexpectedly, the most popular hashtag in the end was...
【Shan Qingshan, the God of Gamblers】
When the gambling tables opened, there were just too many people gathered around.
The officials knew that Shan Qingshan's gambling game was attracting a lot of attention at the banquet, but they couldn't squeeze in to take pictures. They figured it was just a card game, and they would just watch the excitement.
I didn't expect someone in the front row to be recording a video.
Because of the large number of people, the screaming, and the excitement, the camera was shaky from every angle, and it still exploded.
[Ever since I knew Xiao Bao wouldn't be staying in this industry for long, it's become increasingly rare to see him! But I saw him tonight! He's so handsome, what are the sponsors doing, not taking close-up photos? Are they turning away all the wealth that's offered to them?]
[So cool! Question Zhou Chong, understand Zhou Chong, become Zhou Chong!]
[Is Xiaobao really that good at cards? If he's so good, can he play with me? I can't imagine how excited I would be if such beautiful hands were placed on my body!]
[Sisters, wear pants!]
I won't wear it! I just won't wear it!
[On a side note, Qingshan Xiaobao looks so good in this outfit, do you have a link?]
[Haha, a Chinese woman dressed like she's asking for links]
[The young master next to him is so handsome too~ Seeing them still together makes me feel relieved! CP fans are so satisfied!]
...
No matter how much noise there is online, it's all just merriment among netizens.
There have been significant changes in the business district.
Someone who knew Zhou Chong's maternal grandfather praised Shan Qingshan in their correspondence with him that very evening.
"Young Master Zhou's boyfriend is quite good. I must say, Young Master Zhou has good taste. He can even find someone from the deep mountains."
Grandpa frowned.
"You saw someone?"
"Yes." The other person recounted what happened at the dinner party.
Grandpa snorted coldly, seeing through Shan Qingshan.
"He has quite a few hidden agendas."
The other person said, "He's not wrong. Otherwise, people would think he's just a playmate. In this circle, respect is earned. Now I guess no one will say anything."
Grandpa disagreed, "It's just playing cards, isn't it?"
The other person said, "You can see the big picture from small details. I heard that President Zhou assigned him a project to take charge of, and he did a great job. His future is limitless. If the two of them get married, remember to invite me for a drink."
Grandpa snorted.
After hanging up the phone, I felt increasingly uneasy about it.
The other person is a business partner of many years, and for him to praise him so highly, he must be a promising talent. He'd even consider hiring him, or even adopting him as a godson.
But would you want to be his grandson's life partner?
No, it won't work.
