"As a saying goes, the rich should not associate with the poor, while the poor should not fawn over the rich. It really makes sense. If others look down on you, it will be all in vain even if you show much humility." Zhang Jun thought. Setting aside all the annoying things, he chuckled and took a taxi back to the hotel.

After Zhang Jun left, Lu Jianjun stared at Yi Zhu and gritted his teeth, "Are you satisfied now? Zhang Jun finally came here, and why couldn't you hold your tongue? You just deliberately raked up the past and made everyone uncomfortable."

Yi Zhu came back to herself and screamed, "Do you want to blame me again? Last time you hit me because of his family. Do you want to hit me again? Come on, just hit me!"

Lu Jianjun's chest was violently ups and downs at the fit of anger, and he said angrily, "You are like a villain intoxicated by success! You are proud that our family is rich, but what is so great about being rich? Zhang Jun is even a college student of Donghai University."

"So what?" Yi Zhu said scornfully, "The college student also has difficulties in finding a job, and the college student is also poor. I tell you. I just look down on those poor guys. What's wrong?"

Lu Jianjun said with eyes lidded, "Every dog has its day. Don't look down on others." After saying that, he turned around and was about to leave.

Yi Zhu shouted, "Lu Jianjun, what are you going to do?"

"It's none of your business!" Lu Jianjun said coldly.

"If you dare to leave, never come back again." Yi Zhu's sharp voice came behind him.

Lu Jianjun ignored her words and left. He walked out of the community and reached out to his cell phone to call Zhang Jun.

"Third Uncle." Zhang Jun's voice was calm.

Lu Jianjun sighed and said, "Zhang Jun, I am sorry that your aunt is so snobbish. Don't take her words to heart. You know I care about you."

Zhang Jun laughed, "I understand, uncle. Even if I am extremely unhappy, you're still my uncle. I will not be angry with you anyway."

Lu Jianjun said, "Zhang Jun, where are you? I'm going to look for you."

Zhang Jun thought for a while and finally told Lu Jianjun the address of his hotel. Half an hour later, Zhang Jun arrived at the hotel first. He just stood there waiting for his uncle. After Lu Jianjun arrived, they returned to Zhang Jun's room together. Zhang Jun ordered some dishes and a bottle of liquor.

When Lu Jianjun saw the liquor of Wuliangye and the exquisite dishes, he said, "Zhang Jun, why are you living in such a kind of place? It is too extravagant. You should save money even if you get rich."

Zhang Jun grinned and said, "Anyway, I need not pay for it. It is just prepared for me and why shouldn't I live in it?"

As soon as Zhang Jun finished speaking, someone knocked on the door of his room. He opened the door and found that Shang Yang and his wife stood outside, with their child in Shang Yang's arms.

Shang Yang smiled and said, "Mr. Zhang, I am sorry for disturbing you. May I come in?"

Zhang Jun nodded, "Of course. Come in, please."

As the couple saw Lu Jianjun, they asked, "He is...?"

Then Zhang Jun introduced them to each other. Hearing Zhang Jun introducing Shang Yang, Lu Jianjun was surprised and asked, "Are you Mr. Shang of Morning Sun Group?"

Shang Yang smiled slightly, "Yes."

Lu Jianjun was excited because he knew the power of this Mr. Shang in front of him. If Mr. Shang stomped, the whole Dongling City would have an earthquake. Morning Sun Group achieved success in various fields, covering real estate, freight, retail, service, and other industries. At least one-fifth of the GDP of Dongling City was contributed by Morning Sun Group.

"Mr. Shang, it is nice to put a face to your name. I cooperated with your group once." Lu Jianjun said.

Shang Yang became interested and asked, "Oh? Did Mr. Lu have some business with Morning Sun Group?"

Lu Jianjun smiled awkwardly and said, "A construction company affiliated to the Morning Sun Group once bought some building materials from me. But they have not paid me yet."

Shang Yang became serious and apologized, "Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I will definitely handle this matter."

Zhang Jun laughed, "Let's sit down and continue the talk. We just ordered some dishes. Mr. Shang, are you willing to stay here and eat with us?"

Shang Yang hadn't eaten yet, so he laughed when he heard it, "It is my pleasure."

Lu Jianjun was surprised and thought to himself, "How does Zhang Jun know such a big shot like Shang Yang?" At the same time, he also felt himself was lucky and could meet such a golden opportunity. Maybe he could get the payment today.

Mrs. Shang sat beside and looked after the child carefully. The couple came over because they were worried that their child would cry again and wanted to let him stay with Zhang Jun. On the plane, Zhang Jun's behaviors convinced them, and his reprimand towards the open space filled them with a sense of awe.

During the meal, Lu Jianjun was very attentive and drank toasts to Shang Yang for many times. Zhang Jun also drank a few glasses. After they were flushed with the joy of liquor, Shang Yang called somebody. Over twenty minutes later, a middle-aged man with a big belly came in.

As soon as the man came in, Lu Jianjun recognized that he was the manager of the construction company under Morning Sun Group, and he was also the person responsible for that transaction of building materials. When the middle-aged man saw Shang Yang and Lu Jianjun sat together, he knew that things were not going well for him.

"Mr. Shang, what can I do for you?" He said respectfully, with fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Shang Yang said indifferently, "I heard that our company owed payment to Mr. Lu. What was going on?"

If it were Lu Jianjun who asked, this middle-aged man would certainly use the excuse of the company's insufficient funds or something else. But facing with Shang Yang, he didn't dare to talk nonsense and could only brace himself to say, "Mr. Shang, this is an old habit of the company. The payment for goods will be put off as late as possible, and we can put the money in a bank to get interests."

"Nonsense!" Shang Yang was furious, "If you are so dishonest, will there be anyone else willing to do business with you?"

The middle-aged man did not dare to contradict. He just nodded again and again, "Mr. Shang, you can rest assured. I will deal with it as soon as I go back, and I will not keep Mr. Lu waiting."

Lu Jianjun cackled and said, "There is no rush. It won't matter to be late for a few days."

Shang Yang waved the middle-aged man away and said to Lu Jianjun, "Mr. Lu, I'm really sorry. In my company even such a thing could happen."

Lu Jianjun said with emotion, "Mr. Shang, this is actually not his fault. Indeed, as he said, it is an old habit of all companies. After all, whoever owes the money call the shot."

Shang Yang smiled. He certainly knew the things of his company, so he did not intend to punish the manager of the construction company.

After drinking a few glasses, Shang Yang said that if his company needed building materials in the future, he would give priority to Lu Jianjun. This surprised Lu Jianjun. He drank a toast to Shang Yang again and again, and at the same time, he was grateful to Zhang Jun, who had been taking his side.

After the meal, Lu Jianjun was already half-drunk. He stood up and said to Zhang Jun, "Zhang Jun, wait and see. Your aunt will definitely apologize to you tomorrow. And I will also ask her to apologize to your mother."

Zhang Jun laughed, "Uncle, are you drunk? You are afraid of my aunt."

Lu Jianjun patted his own chest, showing a confident expression, "Wait and see, it will surely surprise you by then."

After Lu Jianjun left, Zhang Jun spent the whole afternoon with Xiaolong, the child of Shang Yang. Xiaolong did not cry or protest but was very quiet, which made the couple very surprised.

As Lu Jianjun arrived at home, he sat there with a sad and depressed expression, smoking and keeping sighing. Yi Zhu was still angry and didn't want to talk to him. But finally, she couldn't help asking, "Stop pulling a long face and sighing, okay?"

Lu Jianjun snorted heavily and said, "My business about tens of millions of yuan came to nothing just because of you. Can't I feel bad?"

Yi Zhu was shocked. Since she usually helped Lu Jianjun in his business, she knew that there were huge profits. She asked hurriedly, "How did I make the business come to nothing? Tell me clearly!"

Lu Jianjun sighed and said, "Zhang Jun knows Mr. Shang, the big boss of Morning Sun Group. The construction company under Morning Sun Group has a great demand for building materials."

"How does he know Mr. Shang?" Yi Zhu was startled. At the same time, her heart missed a beat when she remembered that she had just offended Zhang Jun today.

"As I said earlier, don't look down on others. Zhang Jun has boundless abilities. Mr. Shang also has to beg Zhang Jun for treatment when his child gets ill, for others can't cure the illness." Lu Jianjun sorted out the words he had heard and made a great boast of Zhang Jun.

Yi Zhu was stunned completely and murmured, "It... it is impossible. Zhang Jun is not a student of medicine."

"Zhang Jun is not a student of medicine, but he is smart. He can become a self-taught student, can't he? Mr. Shang is very polite towards Zhang Jun and calls him Mr. Zhang. As long as Zhang Jun is willing to speak for me, my company can earn more, at least tens of millions of yuan per year." Lu Jianjun kept a distressed expression, "It's all because of you, Zhang Jun hates me and refuses to speak for me, and the profits of tens of millions of yuan per year can't get into our pocket."

Yi Zhu was so regretting that she even wanted to slap herself. She kept whispering to herself, "Tens of millions, that is tens of millions of yuan. We should never give up!"

Lu Jianjun laughed secretly, but he still showed a sad look on his face, "Zhang Jun is so sensible, and he bought us famous cigarettes and liquors about tens of thousands of yuan. What did you do? You not only did not feel grateful but even said that his cigarettes and liquors were fake. Is there anyone else who would do as you did?"

The more Yi Zhu thought about it, the more regretted she felt. She cried out, "Stop saying about it. I feel so regretted." She said with tears, "I just have a sharp tongue, but I have no evil intention."

Lu Jianjun had been sighing, "Well, a bad cause brings a bad effect. It is all doomed."

Suddenly, Yi Zhu stopped crying and opened her eyes widely, "Jianjun, you see, if I go to apologize to Zhang Jun, will he forgive me?"

Lu Jianjun kept his expression and said lazily, "If I were hurt like that, definitely, I would not forgive you. Forget it and don't flog a dead horse."

Yi Zhu gritted her teeth, "I'll go to apologize to your elder sister first. I don't believe Zhang Jun will disobey his mother's words."

Lu Jianjun thought secretly, "What have you been doing? You did not think of apologizing to them until now you have to ask them for help." But he said, "It makes sense. Let's go to visit my eldest sister tomorrow. You should be careful with your words and don't annoy her." He paused and said, "Let's prepare the present today and set out tomorrow morning."

"All right, we need to prepare more gifts. Take all the good liquors and cigarettes you hid." Yi Zhu said excitedly, "We must seize the opportunity. As long as the eldest sister can forgive me, I can do whatever even if kneeling down!"
