96. I don’t want anything that’s free – can I succeed without having to undergo self-inflation?

On the third floor, only those with a certain status can go up there.
Ordinary nouveau riche and ordinary rich people can only stay on the second floor.
When Lin Pingzhi and the other three were invited up by the book boy, people on the second floor all looked sideways. Who is that?
"Who is he anyway..."
They were all speculating about Lin Pingzhi's origins.
"Seems to be…"
"who is it?"
"The young escort chief of Fuwei Escort Agency, Lin Pingzhi..."
"Ah? Fuwei Escort Agency?"
"Lin Pingzhi?"
"That is one of the huge forces in the martial arts world..."
"Is it really Lin Pingzhi?"
"Then if he enters the third floor, there will be no problem."
Originally, the people on the second floor were a little unconvinced and felt that the young man was not very qualified.
Why do you do that?
I'm so awesome and can't get up there, why should you get up there?
But now they are finally mentally balanced. If that young man is the son of the Lin family, it will be normal.
I can't feel any jealousy at all. I feel that the treatment Lin Pingzhi enjoys is absolutely natural.
Not to mention here, even if Lin Pingzhi came to their home, he would definitely be treated very well.
Who among the people present has not had business relations with the Lin family of Fuwei Escort Agency?
Fuwei Escort Agency, when the people come and the escorts come, the mission will be achieved.
That is the most trustworthy partner now. Besides, the Lin family has a very high prestige in the martial arts world. Who doesn't want to have some relationship with them?
Not only are they not jealous, at most they can only express emotion.
The ostentation of the Lin family is truly worthy of its reputation.
But... they're worth it.
When you are weak, if you use some high standards and enjoy high treatment... others will think you are showing off, which will make people annoying.
When your status reaches a certain level, if you don't enjoy high-standard treatment, others will think you have been wronged.

Went up to the third floor.
The book boy politely took them to the seat near the window.
The decoration here is completely different from that on the second floor.
The third floor is very luxurious.
It is majestic and full of luxury.
Every piece of jewelry here is expensive.
Ordinary flower pots, bonsai…
One unit can buy a courtyard house.
The calligraphy and paintings on the walls are all authentic works by famous artists.
The floor was waxed and spotless.
There are even fewer people on the third floor.
It's also very quiet.
It feels like being rich in a busy city.
But everyone has an indescribable pressure.
That is the breath of the superior.
It can be seen that he is not the head of an aristocratic family, but he is probably a business tycoon, or a high-ranking official, the head of a sect, a master's uncle, or something like that.
They rarely communicate with others.
Seeing Lin Pingzhi coming in, although he was surprised that he could come here at such a young age, he just glanced at it and then turned his head away.
They are all quietly choosing what they want.
Some people are selecting medical secrets, while others are selecting cherished calligraphy, paintings, music scores, etc.
They are busy each other without disturbing each other.
"Sir, please wait a moment. I will serve tea right now." The boy invited Lin Pingzhi to take a seat and ordered tea to be served.
Didn't keep guests waiting long.
A stream of freshly brewed tea was served.
Lin Pingzhi smelled it, then poured it from his own cup and took a sip: "Yes, the taste is very authentic, although it is still not as authentic as the one at home."
"My dear sir, this place is far away from Fujian, and this rough tea is of the highest quality that a small shop can get." The book boy now doesn't find Lin Pingzhi critical. His status is there, and his taste must be picky. Besides...
This tea is indeed not really the best quality.
There are some things that can be fooled by unskilled people. Real bosses are not so easy to fool, nor will they compliment you. If something is good, it is good, and if something is not good, it is bad.
"It's okay, that's all." Lin Pingzhi didn't mind.
The book boy serves him wholeheartedly.
He was waiting for the shopkeeper to come and take over.
This kind of guest is not something he can receive.
"Dong dong dong~"
After a while.
Heavy footsteps came quickly upstairs.
Getting closer.
Everyone's eyes were drawn to it.
If you are a regular visitor to Wenyan Bookstore, you will definitely recognize such distinctive footsteps.
At the top of the stairs from the third to fourth floors, a meat ball appeared.
Oh no…
A fat man.
As fat as a ball.
There is no neck or waist, and the whole body is squeezed into a "ball", with only two short legs and short hands sticking out, which looks a bit funny.
Even his facial features seemed to be squeezed together.
A lot of exaggeration.
This was the first time for Lin Pingzhi to meet someone so fat...with such distinctive features.
Rouqiu's small eyes looked around the third floor, and finally settled on Lin Pingzhi.
The smile instantly brightened.
It was like meeting my idol.
Welcome over.
He also ignored the slogan "No Loud Noise" written on the wall on the third floor.
Loudly:
"It turns out that Mr. Lin, the head of the Fuwei Escort Agency, came here. Sometimes he was not welcomed at a distance, but sometimes he was not welcomed at a distance."
From afar, he made fists with his two short hands that seemed almost unable to touch each other.
This ordinary clasping of fists in a bow has become a bit of a difficult move for him.
Lin Pingzhi was dumbfounded.
Good guy…
I'm just a good guy.
He has seen too many fat people, and he has seen a lot of very fat people, but this is the first time he has seen someone so fat and distinctive.
You're so fat and you're not dead yet?
What a miracle!
The key is...don't look at his short legs and hands, but he doesn't move very slowly.
Lin Pingzhi clasped his fists in return:
"Nice to meet you, may I ask who you are?"
Meatball replied with a smile:
"I am the shopkeeper of Wenyan Bookstore, Zhu Changling."
"It turns out to be shopkeeper Zhu, whom I have admired for a long time." Lin Pingzhi said politely.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lin. I've never met you before, so how can I admire you for so long?" Meatball Zhu Changling was quite generous.
"We won't do that fake flattery thing in the world!"
He waved his hand.
Looking at the untouched tea on the table, he instantly understood that it was a bit rude to serve Lin Pingzhi with this tea.
"Xiao Li, Mr. Lin is from Fujian. He has studied Wuyi Dahongpao deeply. He usually uses it to make tea eggs. If you use this to entertain Mr. Lin, aren't you going to show off your sword in front of Guan Gong?"
After teaching the boy a lesson, he put on a fat smile and said:
"Young Master Lin, I am a book boy who is not very sensible. Come...please follow me to the fourth floor. Let's talk slowly."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Going upstairs again?
Xiang'er and the witch were stunned.
It seems that Lin Pingzhi's status in Meatball Heart is not low.
Not everyone can go up to the fourth floor.
Unless you are really good, or are good friends with the shopkeeper, the shopkeeper will grant you permission to go up, that is the core area of ​​Wenyan Bookstore.
"Shopkeeper Zhu is usually very serious and stern, but why is his smile as bright as a flower today?"
"Shopkeeper Zhu usually doesn't go down to the third floor to greet guests, but today is an exception!"
"What do you mean you don't usually go down to the third floor? You just never go down!"
"Lin Pingzhi is so proud!"
"Snapped…"
Someone slapped his thigh and felt that he had just lost an opportunity to make friends with a big boss, Lin Pingzhi, Fuwei Escort Agency.
Who would have thought that that young man was actually the head escort of Fuwei Escort Agency?
regret!
"He is Lin Pingzhi... the young escort chief of Fuwei Escort Agency, and Lin Zhennan's son..."
"Yes, it's normal to think so."
"But I still think Zhu Changling's behavior is a bit exaggerated."
"This shopkeeper is notoriously difficult to get along with. How come he and Lin Pingzhi are like little brothers..."
People on the third floor usually have the opportunity to communicate with Zhu Changling, but that person... never has a good face, rarely smiles, and has a light, lukewarm expression.
Now when he met Lin Pingzhi, Zhu Changling actually unlocked the Erha physique instantly.
Surprising.
"Brother Zhu, I'm curious, you are so fat...don't you want to lose weight? Will it not affect your health?" Lin Pingzhi was really curious and couldn't help but ask.
"I used to be fatter, but since I started practicing your martial arts, I have lost a hundred pounds!" Zhu Changling said.
The two went to the fourth floor.
This place is different from the grandeur on the third floor.
The fourth floor is more elegant and simple...like a deep valley orchid, unique.
It's like a peaceful scene in a busy city.
There is no one here.
"Please take a seat."
Zhu Changling invited Lin Pingzhi to his seat.
Then I made a pot of tea myself.
“Try this!”
While Meat Ball was making tea, Lin Pingzhi smelled something unusual about the tea.
There is a... faint fragrance.
High-end fragrance.
After brewing, Zhu Changling personally gave Lin Pingzhi a cup.
The tea set used this time is no worse than the Fuwei Escort premium set tea set.
In fact, there are not many tea sets of this type in Fuwei Escort Agency.
Now Zhu Changling can actually take out a tea set of the same level and entertain himself.
It seemed that he really treated himself as a distinguished guest, without any pretense.
In this case, there is no need to take out the tea sets they brought to drink tea.
Lin Pingzhi holds a tea cup.
look.
"The color is dark red and plump, warm and moist like nectar, and beautiful."
smell.
"The fragrance of tea overflows, and it has refreshing spiritual energy that goes deep into the heart."
sip.
"The taste is bitter and then sweet. Although it is bitter, it does not affect the taste in the mouth..."
drink.
“Great tea!”
"This is not our local tea bar from the Ming Dynasty."
When Zhu Changling heard this, his eyebrows moved.
"Young Master is indeed knowledgeable. This is really not the kind of tea that comes from the Ming Dynasty..."
He didn't say where he came from either.
But this is certainly an unusually good tea.
It is not something that ordinary people can drink. It will definitely take a lot of effort to transport these teas from abroad.
All I can say is, Hao.
"Now that we've finished the tea, let's get down to business." Lin Pingzhi took a few sips, then put down the teacup and said.
"I won't beat around the bush, I actually just want the author's manuscript of "Spring Snow"."
"No problem, sure." After hearing Lin Pingzhi's words, Rouqiu smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was no problem.
"How much?" Lin Pingzhi asked.
"If you want it, Master, I can just give it to you." Rouqiu said.
"???"
Um?
Lin Pingzhi was puzzled when he heard this.
He thought of many situations, such as Zhu Changling taking the opportunity to raise a high price, such as taking the opportunity to propose a relationship with Fuwei Escort Agency, such as proposing other conditions, etc.
If these were really proposed, Lin Pingzhi would be able to accept them and be mentally prepared.
But give it to him?
This is very strange.
Why?
Ever since Mr. Lin entered Wenyan Bookstore, the people here have been extremely polite, because they know that Lin Pingzhi is a rich man with spending power, and if he takes good care of him, he can make a lot of money, so it is easy to understand their behavior.
But later on, things got weird.
You gave me such a great honor, not only went downstairs to greet you personally, but also brought out the best refreshments, just to give me "Spring Snow" for free?
Is there such a good thing?
A free lunch is generally more difficult to deal with than a paid lunch.
The eternal truth.
As if he could see Lin Pingzhi's doubts, before he could speak, Zhu Changling smiled and explained:
"Actually, this beautiful spring snow is very expensive... I really want to find a suitable person for it."
"Originally, the person I wanted to meet would either meet a destined person and really move Yangchun Baixue. I can accept such a low price as long as it doesn't let me lose money. Secondly, I will meet a Yuanbao Yuan. After all, I am just a businessman.
Well, it’s not bad to make a lot of money. These were the two ways I initially planned to sell Yangchun Baixue.”
After a pause:
"However, after meeting the young master, I decided to give it to him directly."
"This is the best place for it!"
Lin Pingzhi remained silent.
If you use the first two methods of action, I will still be happy to accept it.
For Lin Pingzhi, money is not an issue.
Favor debts are the hardest to repay.
Many times, he would rather solve things with money than debt of gratitude.
This meat ball obviously wanted Lin Pingzhi to owe him a favor.
"Master Lin, there is no need to think that I have any agenda. In fact, my purpose is very simple. I just want to make friends with your son."
"I'm just a second-generation person, what's the point of making friends with me? Brother Zhu thinks highly of me," Lin Pingzhi said.
What he said actually means:
I am a second-generation playboy. You should get to know my father. Is there any point in getting to know me?
Well, someone Lin immediately pushed Lin Zhennan out as the scapegoat.
Lao Lin is an old scapegoat.
Regarding the Lin family's decisions, such as exposing the sword manual to ward off evil spirits, exposing the Songfeng swordsmanship... such as establishing a Tibetan martial arts pavilion, such as exposing the Songshan sect's martial arts... these were all made by Lin Zhennan.
The blame was all thrown to Lao Lin.
Lin... plays a very small role here.
Most of them are second-generation characters.
"Master Lin, what you said is wrong. Befriending a person like Lin Biaotou is something adults do. At my age, I still prefer to make friends with the second generation." Rouqiu said.
"I think you are impure. It's not that you don't like to make friends with the head of the family, but you think it's easier to make friends with young people like the second generation. It's easier for you to control the situation and profit from it." Lin Pingzhi shrugged.
.
"We know nothing about each other, so what's the purpose of giving it to me for free? If you don't confess it, we won't accept it."
"It's really nothing!" Zhu Changling retorted.
Lin Pingzhi glanced at it.
This meatball... doesn't tell the truth at all.
Then he helplessly spread his hands.
"Xiang'er, let's go!"
Saying that, he stood up.
I have to leave Wenyan Bookstore with my maid.
"Young Master, I will wrap up the snow for you right now." Zhu Changling said.
"No, no, no, we can't bear this feeling..." Lin Pingzhi planned to give up on that thing.
Anyway, we have plenty of music scores, so we don’t care about this one.
The reason why I came in was just to take a look.
As for Huang Zhonggong, as long as he acts quickly, he should be able to catch him before he discovers Yangchun Baixue.
There is no need to inexplicably carry a favor just for the sake of "Bright Spring and White Snow".
"Sir, please, please..." Seeing that Lin Pingzhi was about to give up, Rouqiu became a little anxious.
Stop it immediately.
"Please sit back. We have something to discuss. I'll tell the truth. Isn't it okay if I tell the truth?"
"Then I'll give you a chance." Lin Pingzhi said.
Sit back to your original seat.
"Okay, Brother Lin is also a sweetheart, so Zhu won't hide it, he just opens the window and speaks openly." Rouqiu said:
"Actually, the reason why I gave the music score to Young Master for free is not really for free. I do have selfish motives."
"Oh? If you had said this earlier, our relationship could still be on good terms!" Lin Pingzhi said with a smile.
Meatball rolled his eyes. It was rare for him to see a second-generation vigilant like Lin Pingzhi.
He is worthy of being the son of Fuwei Escort Agency.
Don't give it away for free, you have to pay some price.
Is this something that ordinary people can do?
Convinced.
"I gave Brother Lin the music score. When I arrived, I wanted to express my gratitude to you and the Fuwei Escort Agency for their life-saving grace."
"A life-saving grace?"
Lin Pingzhi was a little puzzled.
How did our Fuwei Escort Agency save you?
don't know!
"Brother Lin doesn't know, because I'm too fat, it's even life-threatening. I don't know how many ways I've tried, but I can't lose weight. But I didn't expect that after practicing the secrets exposed by Fuwei Escort, I actually lost a hundred pounds."
"It's so heavy... It allowed me to survive, and I'm naturally grateful to Fuwei Escort Agency for its reinvention," said Rou Qiu.
Lin Pingzhi was surprised.
Is there such a thing?
"Have you practiced Ice Palm? Songshan School martial arts? Or Hengshan School martial arts? Or Songfeng Sword Technique?"
"Looking at your worth, you should have no shortage of martial arts secrets!"
Zhu Changling said:
"There is indeed no shortage, but ordinary martial arts will have no effect on my weight loss..."
"So you practice the supreme martial arts, the Ice Qi?" Lin Pingzhi said.
"No, I practice the sword manual to ward off evil spirits!" Zhu Changling said.
"Pfft~"
Lin Ping spit out a mouthful of old tea and was immediately stunned.
"Escaping? Evil-repelling sword manual?" He looked at the meat ball in front of him in surprise.
Looking at his childish mustache and the masculine energy on his body, he doesn't look like he's imprisoned himself.
"Don't try to fool me. You clearly haven't practiced Mao's evil-fighting sword manual in your own palace!" Lin Pingzhi didn't believe it.
"Haha...Brother Lin is really wise and discerning. I really didn't commit suicide," Rouqiu said.
Lin Pingzhi looked at this man speechlessly.
"Then you still lied and said that you practiced the evil-repelling sword manual?"
"Who said you have to go to the palace to practice the sword technique to ward off evil???" Rouqiu looked at Lin Pingzhi with a puzzled expression.
"You don't need to practice self-protection from the palace? Aren't you afraid that your desires will explode and you will explode and die?" I have to practice self-protection. Are you weirder than me?
I am a time traveler. In the novel, I am the same as the protagonist. I have to commit suicide to practice. You don’t need it?
Make me laugh!
Are you weirder than me? Are you more special than me?
How can it be!
Lin Pingzhi's first reaction was that this person was lying.
