Chapter 1087: This is not someone you can afford to offend.
Mao Wa then led Su Jin towards the backyard. Because this mansion was located at the foot of the mountain, it offered a clear view of the entire Los Angeles nightscape.
Once they were alone, Su Jin asked, "How do you know that person?"
Maowa casually replied, "Oh, I met him when I first arrived."
Seeing that Maowa was unwilling to elaborate, Su Jin didn't press him further. Since she had such a rare opportunity, she might as well take a look at the beautiful night view.
She took out her phone and started taking pictures non-stop. It wasn't that she was vain and wanted to upload these photos to her social media, but rather that girls are naturally drawn to beautiful things, and beautiful scenery is one of them.
"Take a few photos for me." Su Jin casually handed her phone to Maowa.
"Oh, okay!" Maowa quickly helped Su Jin take photos.
Inside the house, Mak Shun-chi was dealing with everyone while reminiscing.
Huang Zedi's background is probably only known to him among those present.
His father, Mai Guangde, once made a special trip to the United States to give Huang Zedi his advice on studying abroad.
He still remembered what his father had said: "Shun, if you want to be a big boss, you have to learn to be a subordinate first. If you feel that you can't do this kind of lowly and subservient thing, then you shouldn't have too much ambition in this life. Just live a peaceful life. But if you want to be like your father, then you better remember this: Huang Zedi is your boss, and you are his follower."
He was still somewhat indignant at the time: "What's the big deal? Because you're his uncle's lackey, does that mean our family for generations will have to be his lackeys?"
As a result of his defiant remark, he was slapped twice across the face by his father.
"A lackey? Have you ever seen a lackey like your father? Managing a company worth hundreds of billions? And I even own some of the shares in it. How did you get all of this?"
Let me tell you, this world is a world that admires the strong. You can only get the meat if you follow the strong, you know?
"If I hadn't been Mr. Huang's lackey, why would the position of president of Guangda Real Estate have fallen to me, Mai Guangde? What makes you think you can be your Young Master Mai?"
Afterwards, his father said regretfully, "If I had known, I should have had you later, otherwise you could have gone to serve the eldest son."
At that time, Mai Shunzhi knew that the eldest son his father mentioned was Huang Zeji, the son of his boss, Mr. Huang.
Later, he had no choice but to settle for serving Mr. Huang's nephew, Huang Zedi. However, the Huang family was usually quite low-key and didn't cause Mai Shunzhi any trouble. Of course, there was no chance for the relationship to progress further, which made his father very anxious. He kept urging him to get closer to Huang Zedi.
Therefore, he accepted the invitation when he learned that Huang Zedi would also be here tonight.
On the terrace, Maowa was busy helping Su Jin filter photos. They had taken a lot, and some that she wasn't satisfied with were deleted.
A girl wearing a Chanel suit suddenly appeared on the terrace.
"Hello, my name is Lin Wanyi."
The two then looked up.
"Hello, Huang Zedi!"
"Hello, I'm Su Jin!"
Lin Wanyi politely shook hands with the two and explained her purpose: "Are you very familiar with Young Master Mai?"
Su Jin sensed the probing in his words. She looked at Maowa, wanting to hear what he would say.
Mao Wa replied calmly, "I know him."
Lin Wanyi was very clever. She could tell that Maowa didn't want to talk to her about these things, so she immediately changed the subject.
"Miss Su has such a wonderful presence. Here's my contact information. Let's grab some coffee sometime!"
Su Jin took the business card, and the person inside smiled.
At that moment, the door to the terrace was pushed open again.
The newcomer was Mai Shunzhi, who was carrying a glass of champagne and walking towards Maowa.
"Ze Die, I couldn't find you inside. I guessed you were here, and sure enough, you were." Mai Shunzhi stood casually next to Mao Wa, making it seem as if the two had a very good relationship.
"The view here is really nice, come up and take a look." Mao Wa casually pointed to Los Angeles in the distance.
"I have a house on the mountain with a better view than here. It's been empty all this time. I'll take you to see it tomorrow. If you like it, you can move in. It has everything you need, and there are maids available."
Maowa shook his head: "No, I still prefer where I live now."
He then thanked Mai Shunzhi, saying, "Old Mai, we don't need to be so polite. If anything happens, I'll definitely contact you. I have your phone number."
When these words were spoken, others didn't think much of it, but to Mai Shunzhi, it was heavenly music!
This shows that his efforts were effective.
At this moment, Lin Wanyi, who was standing to the side, smiled and said to Su Jin, "Miss Su, you haven't been here long, have you? We're having an afternoon tea gathering next weekend. It's all girls from China. Why don't you come and have some fun?"
At this moment, Bian Yulin, who had come with Mai Shunzhi, also chimed in: "Yes, yes, Miss Su must go. You sisters should all go, and leave the rest to me. Although we are all from relatively well-off families, we are just ordinary people with no airs. We just like making friends."
Upon hearing this, and recalling the luxury cars she had seen before entering the house, Su Jin suddenly felt like laughing.
However, Mao Wa was quite accommodating and chatted with Mai Shunzhi and Bian Yulin on the terrace for a while. He was mainly concerned about Su Jin. After all, having a few social circles in America wasn't a bad thing, and no one would dare to bully her anyway.
Maowa knew perfectly well why Mai Shunzhi and the others treated him this way—it was all because of his third uncle!
Mai Shunzhi's father, Mai Guangde, was originally Uncle San's assistant and had been with Uncle San for many years. Now he is the head of Guangda Real Estate.
Not long after he arrived, Mai Guangde came to visit him and introduced him to his son, Mai Shunzhi. He also told him to just let him know if there was anything he needed. But Maowa wouldn't do that. He didn't want to get involved in anything his third uncle would inherit from his cousin, Huang Ze.
Bian Yulin's reason for currying favor with Mai Shunzhi was quite simple: his father was in the real estate business, and Zhengtai Real Estate was their company. They focused on quick-in-quick-out projects and had a very large operation. Naturally, they were short of money. Guangda Real Estate, on the other hand, had no shortage of money and even more valuable land. Guangda Real Estate had too many good plots of land, which domestic real estate developers would covet. Unfortunately, Guangda Real Estate was wealthy and powerful, and had strong connections, so no one could even dream of owning them.
The Bian family had always wanted to curry favor with Mai Guangde, and Bian Yulin was also on a mission to approach Mai Shunzhi. Being a rich second generation wasn't so easy. Bian Yulin knew that although his father Bian Wo's Zhengtai Real Estate was booming, it was actually too big and had a huge debt. If the credit system tightened one day, he would be finished.
After the party, Bian Yulin and Mai Shunzhi escorted Maowa and Su Jin to the door. Maowa declined their offer to send them a car and, just like when they arrived, hailed a taxi to take Su Jin and Monica back to school.
After Maowa left, Bian Yulin asked Mai Shunzhi, "Young Master Mai, who is this guy? You should at least give me a heads-up."
Mai Shunzhi glanced at him and patted him on the shoulder: "Don't bother asking. Anyway, he's not someone you can afford to offend."
After saying that, he got into the car that came to pick him up and left, leaving Bian Yulin standing there in a daze.
Someone you can't afford to offend?
His father, Bian Wo, was at least on the rich list. Among these international students, he, Young Master Bian, was considered a top figure. If he couldn't afford to offend someone, what kind of background must he have?
