When he was on Minsheng West Road, Lu Shanmin could only be considered a peddler, so the people he could come into contact with were similar to him. Lin Dahai, Tang Fei, Chen Dali, whom he met on the construction site, and a large group of brothers and friends on Minsheng West Road were all considered to be the same class. College students like Zhang Li, Huang Mei and Chen Kun were already considered higher-level people who unexpectedly met.

In such an environment, if you want a carp to leap on the dragon gate, you also need luck in addition to being gold.

Lu Shanmin is gold and his luck is pretty good. But even after meeting Zeng Yaqian, he did not step into a higher level. As Zeng Yaqian said, if you want to enter a circle, you will never be able to enter by introducing one or two people.

To truly enter, the most fundamental factor is to have the strength to match the circle.

The so-called shortcuts, without a solid foundation, are just mirrors, water and moons, castles in the sky, and will never last for a long time.

What really made Lu Shanmin go up step by step is the Chenlong Group from its establishment to its growth step by step, from a barbecue boy to the chairman of the group. When his identity already belongs to that circle, it doesn’t matter whether he is integrated or not.

Because he is already in it.

So when he went to Jiangzhou, he could be on par with the business people in Jiangzhou, so he came to Tianjing. Although many people here looked down on him, compared with ordinary people, those ordinary people did not even have the chance to be looked down upon by wealthy families.

Some of this kind of "opportunity" that is "looking down upon" seems like an accident, but more rely on the powerful financial, material and human resources behind him to secretly arrange the arrangements. Just supporting Zhou Tong and his group of people is not something that ordinary rich people can afford.

But no matter what, Lu Shanmin already has this strength. Even if he is not on the top of the mountain, he is already in a position where he can see the scenery on the top of the mountain.

To this day, he has seen too many so-called upper class people and has no longer had much curiosity.

Although Meng Xiang was a little annoying to have the title of "cousin", Lu Shanmin had a good first impression of him. He was generous and did not have resentment because of the conflict just now. He was low-key and humble, and his words and behaviors did not have the arrogance and airs of most of the children.

The three of them ordered mutton hotpot in a small restaurant with a small storefront and started to drink. After some exchange, Lu Shanmin clearly understood Feng Xiaolan's family background.

Lu Shanmin has never known things in the officialdom, but he probably also emphasizes a good match.

If the Feng family is a police family in Guangling Province, then the Meng family is a police family in Tianjing. Feng Xiaolan's grandfather and grandfather worked together and solved many major cases together. In addition, Feng Xiaolan's parents were also policemen, so they naturally got together with the two old men.

Feng Xiaolan was influenced by her family since she was a child and naturally became a policeman. She is definitely a second-generation official.

However, Meng Xiangdao did not inherit the family mantle and became a painter, and was also a well-known painter. He is now a visiting professor at Tianjing Art Institute.

Lu Shanmin and Meng Xiang touched the cup and asked, "Then why have you become a martial arts master?"

Seeing Lu Shanmin's serious questioning, he showed a hint of embarrassment on his face,

Before tonight, he did think he was a rare master, but now he knows what it means to have heaven beyond heaven and people beyond man.

"My grandfather has been a policeman all his life and has a wide range of friends. I remember when I was six years old, one day a friend of my grandfather came to the Meng family as a guest. After seeing me, the man insisted on accepting me as his disciple, saying that I was the most talented person he had ever seen in his life, and saying that I was a rare inner genius in a thousand years, with a talent that is above the ancient and modern times."

Meng Xiang sighed heavily and smiled self-deprecatingly: "He lied to me so miserably."

Lu Shanmin knew that Meng Xiang was hit by something tonight, and smiled and said, "Your master did not lie to you. Those who were able to enter the late stage of the Yijing Realm in his thirties and are still alive in the world. What I know, you are only four people."

"Really"? Meng Xiang and Feng Xiaolan asked almost at the same time. One was a little disbelief, and the other was full of admiration.

Lu Shanmin was a little surprised. These are common martial arts knowledge. Meng Xiang didn't seem to know at all, so he asked, "Have you ever told you how difficult it is to enter the late stage of the Yijing Realm of the Inner School?"

"I've said that, but I practice it casually. I basically don't have much practical experience. The master also has three days of fishing and two days of drying the net. The kind that I remembered and taught me, but I couldn't remember to meet each other for a year or two, so I didn't have much concept. I did think I was a genius before, but when I met you tonight, I realized that I was a frog in a well."

Lu Shanmin's brows pounded for a moment, and he suddenly felt that he was the frog in the well. He could reach this level by practicing casually. If he practiced seriously, it would be great.

Lu Shanmin admitted that he was a very talented person and could not achieve his current achievements without talent, but he also knew clearly that his talent was not good enough to not need to work hard.

He used to think that only the little girl in this world could reach the top without much effort. Now it seems that he is a frog in the well. Mengxiang may not be as talented as Xiao Nizi, but it will definitely not be too far away. The bigger difference between them is that Mengxiang is more inclined to strengthen his body and has no practical experience, while Xiao Nizi is born for killing.

"Mr. Meng is too modest. There are many chances and coincidences when I can achieve what I have today. If you want to be talented, you are only higher than me."

"Hey,,," Meng Xiang waved his hand, "There is no first in literature and no second in martial arts. No matter how humble Mr. Lu is, he looks down on me."

"I said you two should not be humble. Meng Xiang is powerful, Lu Shanmin, hehe, even more powerful." Feng Xiaolan said with a smile. As she said, pouring wine for the two of them, "Since you both admire each other, as I say, don't Meng, Mr. Lu's. After drinking this glass of wine, you two are brothers."

"Officer Feng, this is too hasty." Lu Shanmin naturally wanted to establish a good relationship with Meng Xiang, but he also knew that many things were in a hurry and couldn't eat hot tofu, so he had to do it step by step.

Meng Xiang had already noticed something strange from Feng Xiaolan's eyes when he looked at Lu Shanmin, and smiled knowingly and said, "Does Mr. Lu look down on me?"

"I dare not," Lu Shanmin quickly said, "Mr. Meng has a noble status and I am worried that I will be a little lazy."

Meng Xiang laughed, "I just painted it, where does the noble status start? If you think I am noble because someone in my family is a policeman, then you are even more wrong. Although our Meng family has been a policeman for generations

, There are indeed people at a high level, but our family never bullies others if they don’t believe it. If you don’t believe it, ask Xiaolan. I once wanted to contact a classmate whom I haven’t seen for many years, and my family never used the slightest convenience to help me inquire. Later, I inquired around myself and found his whereabouts.”

Feng Xiaolan nodded with certainty, "My grandfather and grandfather said that the police serve the people and never have any privileges. We are ordinary people when we take off our police uniforms." As he said that, he pointed at Mengxiang, "He is just a flat-headed ordinary people, and you can pull out a hair that is thicker than his waist."

"Mr. Lu, you won't really look down on me, a poor person, who paints."

Lu Shanmin smiled and picked up the wine glass, "Brother Meng, I wish you a glass."

Meng Xiang happily picked up the wine glass and touched Lu Shanmin. "Good brother".

"Brother Meng, I want to ask you for advice on something." Lu Shanmin put down his wine glass and said.

Meng Xiang nodded, "I know what you want to ask, and I have always been puzzled. This evening, I received a message saying that Xiaolan was kidnapped and told me that it was in Wangfujing. It was because I was misled that I was today's misunderstanding."

Lu Shanmin frowned slightly. As expected, there was indeed a hidden story here.

"Do you know who sent the text message?"

Meng Xiang shook his head, "In fact, what makes me even more confused is the purpose of the person who sent me a text message. On the surface, the person wanted to provoke the conflict between us. But it was not right to think about it carefully, because this kind of provocation is meaningless. As long as Xiaolan comes out to clarify, the conflict can be easily resolved."

Lu Shanmin nodded, Meng Xiang was worthy of being a born police family, and he saw the problem thoroughly. The purpose of that man was obviously not to provoke discord, unless the man was a simple-minded fool or a rookie who sowed the discord, but Lu Shanmin knew that if the things happening around him were explained with such superficial reasons, the rookie was not someone else, but himself.

The three of them didn't worry too much about this issue. After drinking and eating, Meng Xiang took the initiative to check in, and Lu Shanmin did not rob him.

After Meng Xiang left the table, Lu Shanmin and Feng Xiaolan clinked their glasses, "Thank you."

"What do you thank me?" Feng Xiaolan smiled.

"What do you think"?

Feng Xiaolan stuck out her tongue, "Meng Xiang is right, he can't bring you any privileges. But sometimes even if you don't use them actively, you have certain passive skills. As long as you call him brothers in Tianjing, those who want to deal with you will have some concerns, and at least they will make them guess for a long time. If you don't need it, it doesn't mean it's useless."

Lu Shanmin smiled, Feng Xiaolan was right. If he and Meng Xiang were closer, even if they were just simple friendship, some people would make a fuss about the analysis.

Many things often cannot withstand analysis. Once they are analyzed, they may think about whether the senior police officials have also begun to intervene.

Lu Shanmin put down his cup and looked at Feng Xiaolan with half-squinted eyes, thinking.

Feng Xiaolan blinked, "Don't be self-indulgent, I am not the one who sent Meng Xiang's text message."
