"Whoa, give it a try. If you like it, I'll bring a whole box for you next time. This box is just for you to test the flavor!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Fen handed the cigar cutters from the box to the others.
Then, he quickly pulled out another cigar cutter, leaned over, and personally clipped the end of a cigar for Jiang Cheng.
Seeing Qin Fen lower himself to serve Jiang Cheng, Qiao Yinyin, who was standing beside them, very sensibly stood up. She picked up the lighter nearby and reached out to signal Jiang Cheng to give her the cigar. Learning from how the others had done it, she rotated the cigar while lighting it, then handed it back to Jiang Cheng with a beaming smile.
Faced with such meticulous care from both sides, Jiang Cheng's face did not show the slightest hint of surprise or being overwhelmed; instead, he appeared exceptionally calm and composed.
He leisurely and contentedly savored the unique aroma and charm of the cigar.
Watching Jiang Cheng's satisfied and pleasant expression, Qin Fen hurriedly followed up: "How do you think it tastes?"
Seeing Qin Fen being so respectful and polite to him, Jiang Cheng nodded slightly in approval and said, "Mhm, it's quite good. Compared to ordinary cigarettes, it has a special fragrance."
Everyone present witnessed Qin Fen's fawning behavior, but no one showed much of an unusual expression.
After all, strength is the key that decides everything, and the core figure of their small group had already quietly shifted to Jiang Cheng.
If any of them were in Qin Fen's position, their reaction would likely be much the same.
One by one, they silently picked up the cigar clips and began trimming their own cigars.
In a short while, the entire room was filled with lingering smoke and rising mist.
Soon, Wang Congcong spoke first: "Jiang Cheng, I thought you only targeted Huang Qing. We've been focusing solely on Huang Qing lately."
Seeing this, Qi Yuan took a puff of smoke and chimed in: "I just asked on wechat. I heard his brother was transferred to Gansu Province. The difference between Su Province and Kyoto is more than just a little bit."
Hearing Qi Yuan's words, the people present were first slightly stunned, then they all looked toward Jiang Cheng in unison, their eyes revealing a deep sense of wariness.
Lin Yao's incident happened too suddenly; they hadn't had time to look into the details yet.
They only knew that Lin Yao himself said his brother had been demoted.
They hadn't expected he had actually been transferred and demoted.
One must know that if one suffers a demotion in the Capital, there is still a chance for a comeback.
But being moved to Gansu meant a completely different situation and a bleak future.
Mentioning this, a hint of satisfaction appeared on Qin Fen's face as he said briskly, "Exactly. I checked before, but because of Lin Yao's brother, I couldn't do anything to him and could only swallow my anger. Seeing him like this today, I feel truly refreshed."
Jiang Cheng himself was truly completely in the dark, but he couldn't exactly tell them that he didn't know his Second Grandfather at all.
In fact, if it weren't for Old Jiang's opposition, according to Jiang Cheng's personal thoughts, he would have utilized his excellent status as the heir to the Mingsheng Group long ago.
Even though his current wealth was enough for him to live a comfortable life.
But to be honest, Jiang Cheng felt there was still a certain gap between him and those top-tier wealthy people.
Like this extremely luxurious cigar in front of him, Jiang Cheng had never thought about taking the initiative to spend money to enjoy it.
In the end, deep down, he was still used to being an ordinary rich person.
Take Qin Fen for example; although his assets weren't as substantial as Jiang Cheng's, he intentionally pursued these luxury goods to satisfy his self-pleasure.
That was the difference between the two of them.
However, Jiang Cheng was in no hurry. After all, habits aren't formed in a short time, and behavior is hard to change in an instant.
It had only been five months since he obtained the tycoon system.
Yet, in just these five months, his life had undergone earth-shattering changes.
Whether it was his life, career, or social circle, everything had achieved a qualitative leap.
Jiang Cheng didn't have high demands for himself; the most important thing was still to enjoy life.
As for other aspects, he could slowly explore and learn.
After all, with his amazing ability to make money, he would one day become an extremely extravagant and indulgent Second-generation rich.
Facing the questioning looks from everyone, although Jiang Cheng was somewhat puzzled, he remained exceptionally calm and composed on the surface as he slowly spoke: "Actually, I'm not particularly clear either. This was all my Second Grandfather's arrangement."
Hearing this, Wang Zheng couldn't help but cast an envious look at Jiang Cheng: "Your Second Grandfather is really good to you. Old Jiang, I just don't get it. Your starting point is already so high, why do you still want to come out and start your own business?"
Jiang Cheng didn't explain much, only responding nonchalantly, "Start a business? Should I really just wait at home every day to eat and wait to die?"
Qin Fen burst into laughter upon hearing this: "You have a point there. But you really are low-key. The two of us can be considered the ones who have known you the longest. Luckily, I wasn't eyesore enough to mock you at the auction back then, otherwise the consequences... tsk tsk tsk."
After Qin Fen finished, Wang Zheng took over: "Exactly, Old Jiang, saying it like that, you're quite wicked. With my personality, if I like someone, I like them, and if I don't, I really don't. Luckily you don't have a problem with me, otherwise... tsk tsk tsk."
Seeing Wang Zheng and Qin Fen praising him so much, Jiang Cheng's face didn't show much pride. He smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone, "When you guys met me, you didn't keep mentioning your families either. Is it possible that I should mention my Second Grandfather to everyone I meet? Wouldn't that make me an idiot?"
"Haha, what you said makes sense." Everyone chimed in agreement.
Although everyone's way of addressing Jiang Cheng hadn't changed, after this incident, it was clear that everyone's attitude toward Jiang Cheng had reached a new level.
After dinner, Jiang Cheng did not continue with them for a second round of activities.
After all, Jiang Cheng really couldn't muster much interest in occasions like foot massages.
For something like that, it was better to wait until he got home and have Qiao Yinyin personally soak his feet.
At least it would be clean and hygienic.
Just as Jiang Cheng and Qiao Yinyin stepped out of the private room, they saw Zhou Guanyu rushing out from inside.
"Brother Cheng, please wait a moment!" This "Brother Cheng" was clearly shouted with more heartfelt admiration and awe than the one when he first met Jiang Cheng.
Hearing the voice, Jiang Cheng, who was walking with his arm around Qiao Yinyin, abruptly stopped his pace. He slowly turned around, looked at Zhou Guanyu expressionlessly, and asked in a flat tone: "Is there something?"
Zhou Guanyu rubbed his hair somewhat awkwardly, then summoned the courage to say to Jiang Cheng: "That... can I add you on wechat?"
Jiang Cheng glanced at Zhou Guanyu and didn't say much, just nodding slightly in agreement.
Then, he unhurriedly took his phone out of his pocket, unlocked the screen, and opened his wechat QR code.
Zhou Guanyu quickly scanned Jiang Cheng's QR code. After adding him successfully, a joyful smile appeared on his face.
"Brother Cheng, I've added you. I really admire your racing skills. When I participate in the F3 race, I will definitely send you a video. I hope I can still get your guidance and encouragement then."
Jiang Cheng still maintained a calm expression. Then, he patted Zhou Guanyu's shoulder: "Sure, I'll be waiting for you to step onto the F1 stage and realize your dream."
