Chapter 119: Suitors
Chapter 119 The Pursuer
Xia Ling does not have this person in her memory. She doesn’t know who he is. He doesn’t seem to be from the Ye family.
Perhaps sensing her doubtful look, the man smiled friendly at her: "Hello, I am Nan Sheng, your fourth uncle's friend."
Xia Ling said: "Hello." But she was confused in her heart. Her fourth uncle was in his forties or fifties, and this Nan Sheng looked like he was only in his twenties. How did these two people become friends?
Fourth uncle had already solved her doubts, half joking and half reminding: "Mr. Nan is a good friend of mine in business, Xiao Ling, you have to be polite." Mr. Nan's family is in the textile business and produces many mattresses. , pillows, curtains, etc., are all very popular with consumers, and they match the furniture business run by the fourth uncle, so the relationship between the two is very close.
However, Mr. Nan is from the third generation of wealth, and his family background is much better than that of the fourth uncle, who is self-made. Therefore, the fourth uncle is polite when he sees him, saying that he is a friend, but he vaguely regards Mr. Nan as the main one and does not dare to offend him.
This time, my fourth uncle accidentally told Nan Sheng about the birthday banquet for the elderly in the family. Nan Sheng had never seen a birthday banquet in the countryside, so he became curious and came to join in the fun. Firstly, it was not convenient for the fourth uncle to refuse, and secondly, he also wanted to take this opportunity to get closer to Nan Sheng Duoduo, so he took him to the countryside with him.
Xia Ling doesn’t care about that much, what kind of Mr. Nan? never heard of that.
“From city S?” she asked. City S was the city where she was.
"Yes," Mr. Nan smiled a little reservedly, "S Chengnan's family."
Xia Ling nodded politely. She has stayed in S City for two lifetimes. Since following Pei Ziheng more than ten years ago, she has been in contact with the most wealthy and powerful group of so-called social elites and upper-class people in the city, but she has never heard of the Nan family. It seems that even if Mr. Nan's family has a little money, it is far from the real level, otherwise she would not have even heard of it.
Mr. Nan felt a little unhappy when he saw her indifferent expression, but then he thought about it. It was normal for a young star who had just risen recently to not have heard of his Nan family name. How could a young star like this from a grassroots background be able to How much knowledge do you have? I feel relieved.
"Mr. Nan, what do you mean by saying that you can't buy the set of clothes Xiao Ling gave you even if you have money?" someone asked curiously.
"If I'm not mistaken, this set of clothes is from SSD," Mr. Nan's sharp eyes had already caught a glimpse of the SSD logo on the inconspicuous corner of the big paper box. Suddenly, he felt a little confused. Ye Xingling was so ignorant. How can a little star buy SSD clothes? However, he continued, "This store is a custom-made store with a membership system. It is not easy to get a membership card there. You have to go through identity verification, and it doesn't work just by having money."
"Isn't it enough just to have money? Isn't it possible for someone like my fourth uncle?" the little girl from the second uncle's family asked innocently.
The fourth uncle looked at Mr. Nan eagerly, waiting for his answer, what SSD? Never heard of it, okay?
Mr. Nan glanced at his fourth uncle: "Uncle Ye, don't look at me. You can't get this set of clothes with money. A businessman like you who has just made a fortune recently can't get the membership of that store." of."
The fourth uncle was a little surprised. When he looked at Xia Ling, his eyes were different. Could this little girl get something that he couldn't get? He is doing business outside and has more knowledge than ordinary people. He knows that many things cannot be bought even with money. It is not a matter of money, but a symbol of status. When did this little girl become so prestigious? of people?
It seems that a star is a star. Although he is not as wealthy as him, his status is still different.
Not only the fourth uncle, but also other people looked at Xia Ling with more admiration and admiration in their eyes.
"Sister Xiao Ling is so amazing," the little girl from the second uncle's family said, "I will be a big star when I grow up in the future." Xia Ling smiled and pinched the little girl's face, "Okay, I will protect you when the time comes. ”
The little girl became happy and crawled onto the bed on her hands and knees. She hugged Xia Ling and kissed her hard: "It's settled, sister Xiao Ling, pull the hook!" She wrapped her arms around Xia Ling and pulled the hook, then turned around and blinked. Ask Mr. Nan, "Uncle Nan, can you buy things from Sister Xiaoling's store?"
Nan Sheng was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the little girl to ask such a question, and his expression suddenly became awkward.
That's right, the threshold for SSD is too high, and even Nanjia is not qualified to apply for membership. The reason why he knew about this store was because he was obsessed with squeezing into the real upper class society in City S. He had spent a lot of time researching it, and because his family was in the textile business, he knew everything about it. He once went to apply for a membership card, but was turned away. Even gifts and bribes were useless.
"I..." He rolled his eyes, thinking about how to answer the little girl's question.
On the side, the fourth aunt had already spoken. She scolded the little girl: "Why are you talking? Who is Uncle Nan? How come Uncle Nan can't buy things that even Sister Xiaoling can buy? Right? Mr. Nan?" As she spoke, she smiled flatteringly at Nan Sheng.
Nan Sheng was literally being roasted on the fire, no matter how he nodded or shook his head.
He smiled dryly and changed the topic: "Where is aunt? Why haven't you come yet? Dinner is almost ready."
"Yes, I'm going to hurry up my eldest aunt, it's time to eat..." Everyone did not doubt that he was there, and followed Nan Sheng's topic to chat about other things.
Nan Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, but the doubts still didn't go away. Even a third-generation rich family like them couldn't get a membership card. This little girl was just a starlet with a humble background. How could she do it? arrive? It seems that she has some connections, what kind of connections could it be...
His eyes fell on Xia Ling calmly. Well, she was a very clean girl. She was not very beautiful, but she sat there quietly and had a cold and mysterious temperament. Such a girl can attract the attention of many men. I heard that the entertainment industry is very chaotic. Starlets will find some sponsors and backers for themselves. Maybe this is how she can become a member of SSD, or simply Her financial sponsors gave her this outfit...
It has to be said that a small part of Nan Sheng's guesses are close to the truth.
Xia Ling was unaware of his probing gaze, and was chatting with Grandma Ye: "...How can I have a suitable person? Grandma, how old am I... Suitors? There are quite a few suitors... Haha, Grandma, I don't Will consider getting married..."
Yes, that must be the case, this girl must be unclean.
Nan Sheng's mind became active. The Nan family had made some money over the years, but it was far from being able to join the real upper class. It was difficult to enter that circle. Just having money was not enough. He I have been trying hard, but have never succeeded. The little star named Ye Xingling in front of him seems to know the top wealthy families. Maybe she can help him and the Nan family to a higher level...
Looking at the girl who was chatting and laughing, Nan Sheng's eyes deepened.
