This statement was truly audacious. Itâs said, hit a man but not his face. In the Jingcheng circle, thereâs a kind of unspoken rule like this. No matter how severe a quarrel is or who wins or loses, it doesnât matter. However, if you show contempt for him, itâs seen as formally declaring an enmity. Whenever an opportunity arises, even if thereâs no real opportunity, he will want to crush you.
Back in the day, there were such occurrences among the old stubborn members of this circle. The results were tragic, with some being killed and others being detained. The one who committed the murder is allegedly still being held in a prison in Tianshan Province.
By speaking in such a way now, Nie Zhenbang has broken the unwritten rule. As a person who had a reincarnation, he is knowledgeable about the rules of the circle. Furthermore, in the posterior age, news about the sons of well-off families, the privileged second generation, and some affluent second-generation people was emerging constantly. Given this, Nie Zhenbang decides to use this opportunity to set a new melody which is not only for the children of wealthy families but also for the entire privileged second generation in the country.
âGood, good! Nie Zhenbang, I, Ou Zheng, will remember you. I hope youâre still this arrogant later.â The young man named Ou Zheng is the youngest son of Ou Huajun, the newly appointed State Councilor.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang did not even glance at Ou Zheng, instead letting his gaze sweep across the crowd. A hint of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he said, âOh, almost everybody seems to be here today. Looks like all the important people of Jingcheng have arrived. Seeing this, I may as well take this opportunity to say a few words.â
With that, he turned to Ou Zheng, saying, âListen up, kid. Iâm going to teach you today why youâre nothing.â
There are quite a few heirs apparent and princesses in Jingcheng. But do you know why thereâs hardly any scandal about them? There are two reasons. Firstly, no matter how wild they are outside, they still have some family education within their homes. Each family has a bottom line.
The common people are too distant from us. Itâs no big deal to abuse the commoners relying on the privileges inherited from older generations. We all look down upon such behaviors. Itâs like the difference between an elephant and an ant. Theyâre simply not at the same level, and thereâs no sense of achievement at all.
The word circle refers to a group where people have more or less the same background. Itâs more interesting to fight and play within such a group. Even if one loses, itâs not a big deal. One can always win the next time. Thatâs what happens in the circle.
But you, Ou Zheng, didnât do that. Ever since you came to Jingcheng, youâve
ruined many womenâs lives. Is this because of your father who is a State
Councilor? If so, bring it on, Ou Zheng. If I, Nie Zhenbang, get scared of you, I am a product of a dog. And let me tell you, I donât think highly of you at all.
Today, Iâm setting a rule here. If anyone in the circle tries to bully the common people relying on their power, I, Nie Zhenbang, will surely intervene. Those who donât agree are welcome to give it a try.
âBrother Nieâs words resonate with me. I had been wondering why I had become so well-behaved recently and now I know why. Itâs indeed boring to play with the common people. I, Li Special Period, am the first one to agree.â Li Special Period shouted from the crowd.
Nie Zhenbang looked around and quickly spotted Nie Jiamin, who was giving him a thumbs-up and a smiling at him.
With Nie Jiamin and his groupâs support, the people under Yang Anbang also began to cheer. Itâs nothing new for Nie Zhenbang and Yang Anbang to partner up in business. Everyone knows what they should do at this time. The descendants of the red nobility have this kind of perception.
Meanwhile, the solitary investors also nodded in agreement. Whether in the past or now, or even in the future, there have been very few scandals among the children emerging from the real red families that Nie has in his recollection.
This is mainly due to three reasons. The first is family education. Although theyâre not easy to deal with, theyâre not willing to bully the people. Second, even if they did, thanks to the elite education they received from the red families since childhood, they basically have control over the fallout. Itâs utterly impossible for them to make it known to everyone. Thirdly, like Nie Zhenbang said, thereâs too much disparity and itâs simply beneath them.
âYoung Master Zheng, letâs withdraw today. The situation is stronger than we thought. This Nie Zhenbang, look at his might. His call can summon all in Jingcheng. Heâs absolutely the numero uno.â One of Ou Zhengâs followers murmured.
âSlap!â Ou Zheng slapped the follower across his face without mercy, shouting angrily, âWhat the fuck are you talking about? Number one? You mean him, a bastard child? What does he amount to?â
After finishing his words, Ou Zheng then turned to Nie Zhenbang, âVery good, Nie Zhenbang. Youâve successfully irritated me. I tell you, your fucking supermarket will not open. Wait for someone to come and seal the entrance tomorrow.â
Ou Zheng didnât realize that by doing this, he was making himself the target of public anger. People like Ou Zheng, who joined the circle mid-way, have no idea about the rules among the people in the Jingcheng circle. When considering power, which family sitting here does not have a few deputy ministerial or even some vice premier level figures? The Nie family, for instance, has real party and state leaders, with their patriarch being the fifth-ranking leader in the Political Bureau.
Nie Zhenbang smiled at this. He wanted Ou Zheng to do exactly this, otherwise, it would have been difficult for him to make a move.
Watching Ou Zheng prepare to retreat, Nie Zhenbang chuckled, âYoung Master
Ou, tut tut, youâre just going to leave like that? What do you take this place for?
Wait for it to be shut down? Thatâs indeed a great display of official power. I wonder if Young Master Ou is now a member of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce or the Taxation Department? Or has Young Master Ou perhaps already joined the Political Bureau? What gives you the right? Are you relying on your fatherâs power? You should ask around, which official position here is smaller than your fatherâs? If thatâs the case, we can certainly chat.â
At this moment, Yang Anbang looked at Ou Zheng as if he were an idiot, saying solemnly, âOu Zheng, I, Yang Anbang, am not exaggerating. If your dad dares to help you, I guarantee he will retire tomorrow. The circle in Jingcheng is not a playground for your Ou family. Once here, you need to follow the rules of Jingcheng.â
âYoung Master Ou, the name is really good. Brother Nie, youâre not thinking about hitting the young master, are you?â Li Special Period started to heckle from the periphery.
At this moment, Nie Zhenbang took off his coat, bowed with his fists and said, âGuys, kindly clear some space. According to our rules, one who seeks a fight cannot just leave. If it were so, we could go to someoneâs place every other day, threaten them and then leave. Since heâs here, we must have a contest. Ou Zheng, not to belittle you, today, no matter if you want a group fight or a duel, I, Nie Zhenbang, accept.â
At this moment, Ou Zheng was also sweating profusely. The depth of the
Jingcheng circle was something he hadnât completely comprehended until now. Nie Zhenbang, the illegitimate son, was said to be powerful and influential in the Jingcheng circle. Especially now, when the Nie family is facing public condemnation from the national media, it appears as if they are being condemned to the eighteenth level of hell. Wanting to grab some profits from Nie Zhenbangâs pocket, Ou Zheng now realizes heâs hitting a hard brick.
Looking at Nie Zhenbang, Ou Zheng felt a chill in his heart. The waters of Jingcheng are really too deep. Nie Zhenbang is truly worthy of his reputation as the top person in Jingchengâs princeling circle.
Upon thinking of this, Ou Zheng gritted his teeth, waved his hand and ordered, âBrothers, letâs all go together. I donât believe that Nie Zhenbang has grown three heads and six arms. Thereâre so many of us, weâre not afraid of him!â
With that said, at Ou Zhengâs call, a group of followers charged towards Nie Zhenbang along with Ou Zheng..
