C268 Where Did This Bumpkin Come from
This Zhao Jianning was the Third Young Master of the Zhao Family of Imperial City. The Zhao Family of Imperial City was not any weaker than the Ning Family. As one of the top aristocratic families of Dragon Country, its power was self-evident. In particular, the Zhao Family was different from the top aristocratic families like Ning Family. They were born and raised in the Imperial City. They were the local families of Imperial City and had hundreds of years of history in Dragon Country.
Over the past few hundred years, the Imperial City had experienced a few changes in the dynasty. However, the Zhao family had always held the highest power in Imperial City. This showed how deep the family's foundation was.
In particular, Zhao Jianning was very influential in the Zhao Family. His father was one of the powerful people in the Zhao Family. He was a famous rich young master in Imperial City and was listed as one of the four young masters in the capital.
He also had another identity. He was the son-in-law of the Ning Family. Even in the Ning Family, Zhao Jianning's status was much higher than Ning Que's. The conflict between the two of them originated from the internal conflict of interests in the family.
"Zhao Jianning, aren't you going too far? Come out and have a cup of tea. Are you trying to snatch the seat?" Ning Que said in a deep voice.
"Oh? Too much? " Zhao Jianning sneered, his face full of disdain.
"I am going too far. What can you do to me?" Zhao Jianning said slowly, "Haven't you figured out your current status? Do you know the difference between you and me?"
Ning Que lowered his head. His eyes were angry, but he was helpless. Zhao Jianning deliberately made things difficult for him. He wanted to retort, but he had no confidence.
Currently, his status in Ning Family had fallen drastically, and he didn't have any power he could mobilize. The gap between him and Zhao Jianning, who was favored by Zhao Family, was just too great. He was no match for Zhao Jianning at all.
Even if others were mocking him, he could only silently endure it.
This kind of helpless pain was simply enough to make one's mind collapse.
But this was reality.
He, Ning Que, was no longer the boss of the East Sea's Ning Family in the East Sea Province. He was just an abandoned son of the Ning Family in the Imperial City.
Not only were his parents missing overseas, he couldn't even see his own grandfather.
He could even be in danger at any time. He did not know when he had disappeared from this world.
"What's wrong? Why are you still here? Ning Que, you can't hear Young Master Zhao.
What did you just say? A man standing next to Zhao Jianning said arrogantly, looking at Ning Que and Wu Yang with disdain.
"Young Master Zhao wants this room. Why don't you give up your seat now? Get out of here!"
Ning Que looked over coldly. His anger soared to the sky. He said coldly, "Young Master Zhao wants this room. "Like I said, this position has already been reserved by some big shot. If you offend that big shot, you all will not have a good end!"
It was really like a phoenix without feathers was worse than a chicken. Now, he was in dire straits. All the lackeys and minor characters were doing whatever they wanted while riding on their heads. Any one of them dared to mock him in front of his face.
If it was any other occasion, Ning Que might have endured this anger. After all, the situation was like this. After his parents' accident, he had been enduring silently in the Ning Family.
After a long time, he had become accustomed to it. He had completely lost his usual sharpness and vigor.
"What did you say? I can't afford to offend someone you know? "Aiya, Ning Que, you've really improved." Zhao Jianning sneered and shook his head with a disapproving look.
Ning Que, have you been suppressed in the Ning Family all this time? Have you gone mad? Are you out of your mind?" Zhao Jianning said with a proud expression, "Who am I, Zhao Jianning? How many people in Shennong can I not afford to offend?"
"Besides, I can't afford to offend them. You, Ning Que, are worse than a dog right now. Let's see who else would be willing to deal with you. What kind of big shot are you talking about? He really is a big shot. Would he come to drink tea with you? " Zhao Jianning said with disdain.
He knew Ning Que's current situation very well.
Just how miserable was Ning Que's situation? Who else could he know?
How dare he act arrogantly in front of the young master of the Zhao Family?
Ning Que clenched his fists in anger and said resolutely, "Zhao Jianning, I have said everything I need to say. It's not like I won't give you this position."
This was a tea room reserved for the Great Elder, Director Lin. If the seat was taken by someone else, how could he have the face to ask Director Lin for help?
Not to mention, the Great Elder, Lin Yin, was Ning Que's last straw of hope. He was the only person who could save him.
All of his connections and resources in the past were useless when he was in trouble. Moreover, the situation he was in was quite big. It was the suppression from the upper echelons of the Ning Family.
Apart from Lin Yin, Ning Que had never thought that it would be so. Who else could hold him?
"You won't let me? Heh, Ning Que, how dare you ignore what I said?" Zhao Jianning said arrogantly, "Go and call the supervisor of the Heart Water Teahouse. Ask him to order the security team to throw Ning Que out."
Zhao Jianning snapped his fingers and two attendants immediately walked out of the room.
Less than a minute later.
The two attendants directly brought the staff of the Heart Water Teahouse and brought a group of cold-looking security guards.
"Ning Que, I say you are the same. You are really shameless. Can't you just give us a seat? Do you really have to force Zhao to lose his temper? This is good. Are you comfortable being thrown out?" A man next to Zhao Jianning mocked.
That's true. It's your fortune to give Young Master Zhao a seat. The weak should give up their seat to the strong. Isn't that right?"
Ning Que and Wu Yang stood up. Their faces turned ugly. Zhao Jianning was determined to embarrass them.
"Ning Que, what's going on?"
At this moment, a young voice was heard.
A young man in a white shirt walked slowly into the room. Beside him was a tall foreigner in black clothes.
"Director Lin!" Ning Que looked at Lin Yin in surprise and greeted him urgently.
"Director Lin?" Zhao Jianning looked at Lin Yin and sized him up with a playful expression. He said disdainfully, "Ning Que, is this the big shot you mentioned?"
"He looks like a poor carving, and he doesn't have anything decent in his entire body. He's even a big shot? Ning Que, you're really in a hurry to seek treatment. All trash treat him like a treasure!" Zhao Jianning mocked him in front of his face.
"Director Lin? A big shot? Dressed in street clothes that could be seen everywhere, he didn't even have a decent watch in his hand, and he was a big shot? He really didn't know where the bumpkins came from.
"I say, you with the surname Lin, where did this bumpkin come from? Acting like a character in front of me?" Zhao Jianning looked at Lin Yin with disdain and said.
