The 10,000th Rebirth
Chapter 684 Red Queen's Law
Xu Xiaotong was stunned because she found that what Chen Luo said was true. She did forgive him again and again, hoping that her boyfriend would change, but the result was always the same.
However, Xu Xiaotong did not think that such behavior was mentally ill. When she was carefully thinking about Chen Luo's words, she suddenly noticed the sound of Zhong Ding coming in. She was stunned for a moment, and then her eyes widened.
"You, you, you are Zhong..."
Xu Xiaotong did not notice Zhong Dingsheng at all, so when she saw him coming in, she was stunned for a moment, and she stuttered and couldn't even finish her words.
"Ms. Xu, hello, I'm Zhong Dingsheng."
Zhong Dingsheng smiled and greeted Xu Xiaotong.
"Ah? You, you know me?"
Xu Xiaotong felt a little flattered, but soon felt something was wrong. How could he, the richest man in Shanghai, know a nobody like her, with a very different status and position?
Zhong Dingsheng smiled but did not answer.
Xu Xiaotong was stunned for a moment, but she suddenly understood why Zhong Dingsheng knew her name, because her ex-boyfriend had just shouted her name in the hotel lobby, and I'm afraid everyone could hear it.
When Xu Xiaotong thought of this, she couldn't help but feel her face getting hot again, after all, what happened in the lobby just now was not very glorious.
"Mr. Chen, does that person need to be dealt with?"
Zhong Dingsheng retracted his gaze and looked at Chen Luo.
Chen Luo glanced at Xu Xiaotong and said with a smile, "I owe this Miss Xu a favor, so please Mr. Zhong deal with it cleanly and don't leave any trouble for this Miss Xu."
Zhong Dingsheng felt a little strange in his heart. He could get to his current position, so his eyesight was naturally needless to say.
Just from Xu Xiaotong's temperament and the incident of catching her cheating in the lobby just now, he could judge that Xu Xiaotong was a vase and had no background.
How could such a woman have the ability to make Chen Luo owe her a favor?
However, Zhong Dingsheng thought so in his heart, but smiled calmly on his face and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chen, this little thing can be handled within today."
"Then thank you, Mr. Zhong."
"Mr. Chen is polite."
Chen Luo smiled. He naturally did not doubt that Zhong Dingsheng was bragging. With this person's power in Shanghai, he didn't even need to show up to deal with a rich second generation.
Xu Xiaotong was so nervous that she didn't dare to speak when she heard them mention dealing with the ex-boyfriend.
Because the man in front of her was the richest man in Shanghai, his power was far beyond that of ordinary people.
Even if Xu Xiaotong was naive, she knew that if such a person took action, how could that person have a good life.
Xu Xiaotong didn't know whether to be happy or worried about that person at this time. For a while, her mood was extremely complicated.
However, her eyes stayed more on Chen Luo, and she was extremely curious about his identity.
Not to mention the airport, even the richest man in Shanghai was so polite to Chen Luo. This time, she really felt the mysterious and powerful aura on Chen Luo.
When the elevator stopped at the top floor of Yalin Hotel, a bodyguard had already gone out and started to lead the way.
When Chen Luo said he wanted to go to the top floor suite, Zhong Dingsheng's secretary had already asked the bodyguard to open the room.
When the people at Yalin Hotel knew that Zhong Dingsheng was coming, they didn't dare to neglect it at all. They didn't go through any formalities and directly took the room card.
When the bodyguard opened the door in front, Chen Luo and Zhong Dingsheng walked in first, while the bodyguards all waited in the corridor. Even the secretary didn't dare to follow in and stayed outside honestly.
Xu Xiaotong was a little embarrassed outside. She didn't know whether to leave or stay.
"Go and open another room for Miss Xu."
The secretary seemed to see Xu Xiaotong's uneasiness and immediately ordered a bodyguard.
"Yes."
At this time, in the room, Chen Luo walked straight to the floor-to-ceiling window of the room, with his hands behind his back, looking at the scenery downstairs.
Yalin Hotel is a five-star hotel with 79 floors. Although it is not the tallest building in Shanghai, you can see most of Shanghai from the top floor.
"Mr. Zhong, what do you think of the scenery here?"
Zhong Dingsheng also stood next to Chen Luo and said calmly, "The scenery is naturally good, but Mr. Chen should also understand the truth that it is cold at high places.
I am trembling with fear every day, treading on thin ice, afraid of falling from this height and being smashed to pieces."
Chen Luo smiled slightly, and knew why Zhong Dingsheng had such a sigh, and he was not being hypocritical.
Because Zhong Dingsheng's current status, in addition to his own ability and hard work, is also undeniably due to the influence of his father.
But in the eyes of outsiders, they will only think that it is the influence of Zhong's father that has created everything for Zhong Dingsheng.
Now that Zhong's father has just retired, there is no risk for the time being, but Zhong's father was not without enemies when he was in office.
Over time, Zhong's father's influence will eventually fade.
Zhong Dingsheng has now become the nominal richest man in Shanghai. This title is too famous. As long as someone wants to mess with the Zhong family and link the power of Zhong's father with Zhong Dingsheng's current wealth, then there is really a possibility that he will be doomed.
"Mr. Zhong's current situation can be described very appropriately by the 'Red Queen Law'."
Zhong Dingsheng was slightly startled and asked in confusion, "Are you talking about the Red Queen Law in Alice Through the Looking Glass?"
"That's right. It's exactly the saying 'Not advancing means retreating, stagnation means death, run as hard as you can to stay in place'."
Chen Luo said calmly.
Zhong Dingsheng was stunned for a moment. He found that his current state was exactly the same as what Chen Luo said.
He just wants to desperately grab everything he can in order to stabilize what he has now, so that he can have the strength to protect himself when others covet him, so he is so cautious every day.
"A truly powerful person is always on the road and dare not stop. If Mr. Zhong just wants the longevity pill, there is no need for us to continue talking."
Chen Luo didn't wait for the sound of bells and cauldrons to come to his mind before he continued speaking.
Zhong Dingsheng was stunned again when he heard the words. Unexpectedly, Chen Luo not only guessed his purpose, but also said it straightforwardly without making any circles.
"What do you mean, Mr. Chen?"
"What I mean is that Mr. Zhong can stand higher, to a height where all the enemies of your Zhong family can only look up and be in awe, such as the four major families."
Zhong Ding was speechless. He naturally knew what the four major families were like. Even though he had a certain amount of wealth now, he was still not even a little bit worse than those four major families.
"Mr. Chen, the heritage of the four major families is too deep. I dare not think of surpassing them. I just want to keep everything I have now."
"Justify your own limit, and you will always be subject to it. If Mr. Zhong doesn't even have this ambition, what's the use of getting the Longevity Pill? It's just ten more years of life."
