Who would still be a social slave when they are so rich?

Chapter 216: What does it have to do with me whether you are a gentleman or not? I am here on the boat.

The ten-mile Qinhuai River is still there today, but the spring dream of the Six Dynasties has disappeared without a trace!
“I didn’t expect there would be so many people along the Qinhuai River during the day.”

It is said that the Qinhuai River is the most lively at night, with gorgeous lights on both sides and enchanting singing and dancing in the pleasure boats on the Qinhuai River. But when Su Chen came to the Qinhuai River, he found that the Qinhuai River during the day has a different flavor.

Both sides of the Qinhuai River are lined with typical white-walled and green-tiled buildings as well as various historical buildings. It feels like returning to the water towns of the south of the Yangtze River. Many tourists are taking pictures with their mobile phones.

"Wende Bridge?"

Su Chen stood in front of the stone tablet and looked at the historical introduction of the bridge.

"Young man, if you are interested in this Wende Bridge, this old man can give you some basic knowledge." A vigorous and powerful voice sounded in Su Chen's ears.

Turning around, he saw an old man with slightly pale hair looking at him with a smile on his face.

Su Chen was stunned for a moment. He just took a curious look and didn't expect to encounter such an interesting thing. He had nothing to do, so how could he refuse the popular science that was delivered to his doorstep?

He smiled and bowed to the old man and said, "Thank you for your help."

Seeing Su Chen's humble attitude towards learning, the smile on the old man's face became even bigger.

"Ahem~" The old man drank some water to moisten his throat before he began to explain. "The name of this Wende Bridge comes from the Confucian idea that literature and morality are the best in the world, which symbolizes the importance of culture and morality!"

"Every year on the 15th day of the 11th lunar month, when the moon is bright in the sky, a wonder will appear on Wende Bridge. The moon will be split into two by the bridge, forming a different scene that attracts countless tourists to watch."

"Legend has it that the great poet Li Bai got drunk and tried to catch the moon here."

When Su Chen heard this, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. Li Bai was a person from the Tang Dynasty and this Wende Bridge was built in the Ming Dynasty. How could the two be connected?

Although he had the urge to complain, Su Chen held back when he saw the enthusiastic old man. Maybe there was something he didn't know.

He pretended to see what was going on and nodded.

The old man was pleased to see Su Chen's gesture, but Fade Chen was confused. It was just a bridge.
It's not surprising that there is some history. Why do Su Chen and the old man look so intoxicated? Although Chen Fei is full of doubts, he dare not ask or say anything.

"Wende Bridge is an important hub connecting the north and south banks of the Qinhuai River. On the left is the Imperial Academy, the Confucius Temple, and the Jiangnan Imperial Examination Hall, where students used to study."

"On the right side are restaurants and brothels, where the Eight Beauties of Qinhuai gathered. There is a proverb that goes, 'A gentleman does not cross the bridge, and if he crosses the bridge, he is not a gentleman.' This is used to describe the two sides of Wende Bridge."

After hearing the old man's introduction, an idea popped into Su Chen's mind. You know, Qinhuai River is a place where many literati and poets linger. But according to the old man's words, doesn't this mean that those literati and poets are not gentlemen?

Su Chen couldn't help but ask out of curiosity the doubts in his mind.

The old man's face showed an "as I expected" expression when he heard this. He looked at a pleasure boat that just passed under the bridge and said, "What's so strange about this? At worst, we can just take a boat over there!"

After saying this, the old man walked towards the north bank with a smug look on his face.

Su Chen was still standing there stupidly. It took him a while to react. "The predecessors were really amazing. They could come up with such a reason."

It can be said that it is not gentlemanly for literati and poets to cross the bridge to go to the brothel on the north bank of Qinhuai River. But if I take a boat and don't cross the bridge, what does it have to do with whether I am a gentleman or not?

"Sir, it's just an ancient bridge. There are at least eight hundred such bridges. What's there to know about it? It seems that you and the old man seem to be having a very good chat." Chen Fei approached Su Chen and asked in confusion.

"When you go out to play, you must listen to interesting things. It's meaningless to just look at these buildings and performances. You should learn more about the cultural background behind them."

"The old man just now acted as a good tour guide and explained the history and culture of this bridge to us. When you brag to Xiao Peng and others in the future, at least you will have something to say."

"If they ask you where you have been with me, and you say Tianjin and Jinling, and don't know anything else, wouldn't they laugh at you, saying you are a wild boar that can't eat fine bran?"

Chen Fei smacked his lips, not knowing what to say. After all, he had never traveled before.

"It's getting late, let's find a place to eat something." Su Chen looked at the time and found that it was almost one o'clock in the afternoon.

When the two came to the Confucius Temple on Qinhuai River, they also bought some snacks to try. If they hadn't bought them, they wouldn't have realized it until they bought them. They were simply being treated as enemies.

Although everyone knows that snacks in tourist attractions are very expensive, the snacks around Confucius Temple are indeed a bit outrageously expensive. The first snacks Su Chen and his friends bought when they came in were grilled squid, flower sausage and stinky tofu, and the total cost for each person was 118.

The squid was the kind that had been soaked in water. Maybe Su Chen and the others were unlucky, as the squid they ate tasted like medicine. As for the big meat sausage, it was no different from a starch sausage. Only the stinky tofu was barely acceptable.

Later I bought two more snacks that looked good, but the results were similar to the previous ones and I was immediately discouraged.

Not only is it expensive, but the key is that it doesn’t taste good.

After the two of them walked around, they had already digested the food they had at McDonald's.

Chen Fei thought of the snacks they had eaten before, so he suggested: "Sir, why don't we go find a place to eat outside? Here..."

"Uh~" Su Chen had to admit that Chen Fei's suggestion was very good. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Let's go and take a look outside!"

They come here to have fun and taste delicious food, not to risk their trip. Who doesn’t want to have a pleasant journey?

After coming out of the Qinhuai River, Su Chen and his friends found a small restaurant with a lot of people. The restaurant mainly sold duck blood vermicelli, soup dumplings, salted duck and the like.

After taking a look, he saw that the customers in the store were eating with gusto, so Su Chen ordered two of each and found an empty seat inside to sit down.

"I'm looking up at the moon. There are so many dreams flying freely!" Chen Fei's cell phone rang just as he sat down.

When Su Chen heard the pleasant ringtone, he gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your taste is indeed extraordinary."

Even many of the diners around turned their eyes over.

Chen Fei felt a little embarrassed on his dark face. He quickly took out the phone from his pocket. When he saw the caller ID on the phone, he was stunned for a moment.

He looked up at Su Chen and said, "Sir, it's Wu Jing who called."

Hearing this, Su Chen was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses and gestured for him to answer the phone.

As for why Wu Jing had Chen Fei's contact information, it was because after Wu Jing encountered those things in Africa, she came back and specifically looked for Chen Fei's phone number. Knowing that Chen Fei was Su Chen's driver and personal bodyguard, it would be right to contact him first if anything happened.

Chen Fei didn't hesitate and answered the phone immediately.

When she heard Wu Jing asking Su Chen if he was free, she responded, "Sir, he's right next to me. I'll give him the call right away." After that, she handed the phone to Su Chen.

Taking the phone, Su Chen asked directly: "Wu Jing, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Wu Jing on the other end of the phone didn't pretend to be a Karma Ka and went straight to the point. "Mr. Su, Wolf Warrior 2 has been edited and approved. I plan to release it on May . I just wanted to ask Mr. Su if he has time to attend the premiere?"

Actually, Wu Jing had his own selfish reasons for making this call. You know, traffic is king in the current entertainment industry. He had filmed many action movies in Hong Kong before, but unfortunately, his influence in the mainland was not very good. After returning to the mainland, he also filmed several movies and TV series, such as I Am a Special Forces Soldier 2 and Wolf Warrior 1, which made him a little famous in the domestic film and television industry. Unfortunately, he is not as good as those traffic stars.

Take Chen He’s popularity, for example, it is much higher than Wu Jing’s current popularity.

Wu Jing doesn't have many friends in the mainland circle, so he is definitely lacking in promoting the film.

The purpose of his call was, firstly, to get Su Chen to attend the premiere of Wolf Warrior 2. After all, Su Chen was still the largest investor of Wolf Warrior 2. Secondly, he wanted to use Su Chen's influence to build momentum for Wolf Warrior 2.

Although Wu Jing didn't know how powerful Su Chen was, just from what he saw and knew, he knew that Su Chen was a hidden giant who could solve all his concerns just by moving his mouth.

Su Chen is not a fool. Even if he has never eaten pork, he has seen pigs run. Of course he knows that Wu Jing is definitely not just asking him to attend the premiere.

After thinking about it for a while, Su Chen also saw the clue. Wu Jing said that Wolf Warrior 2 will be released on May st, and it is only a few days away, but there is not much publicity on the Internet now.

After all, there must be some pre-heating, but Su Chen has never heard anyone mention it.

Su Chen took the salted duck leg and took a bite before saying, "Is there a problem with the publicity?"

Wu Jing on the other end of the phone smiled bitterly when he heard this. "Well, we pursued realism during the filming, which damaged a lot of weapons and equipment and cost a lot of money, resulting in insufficient funds for publicity, and there were no good publicity channels."

Wu Jing did not hide anything and told everyone about some of her own affairs, including the fact that there were few guests at the premiere.

Su Chen was a little speechless when he heard this. Not to mention the lack of publicity, why was the premiere so shabby? However, he also understood Wu Jing.

In 03, he went to Hong Kong alone to work hard. After ten years of hard work there, he gained some fame. After returning to the mainland, he certainly had no foundation, so naturally he was much weaker in terms of connections and channels.

"Okay, I understand. Someone will contact you later about the promotion. As for the premiere, I will invite some people. Please send the time and place to my Green Bubble."

Hearing this, Wu Jing said excitedly: "Thank you, Mr. Su, it's too much trouble for you!"

"Hey~ What's the trouble? We are just friends, why are you telling me these?" Su Chen said with a slight smile on his face, pretending to be angry.

Wu Jing on the other end of the phone was stunned. How should I respond to what Boss Su said? He didn't teach me.
Just as Wu Jing was racking her brains for a response, Su Chen's voice rang out again, "Okay, I'm eating, so I won't talk to you for now."

After saying that, Su Chen hung up the phone without waiting for Wu Jing to say anything.

When he handed the phone back to Fade Chen, he found that the boy was silently eating soup dumplings and salted duck. Only half of the salted duck he ordered was left.

Seeing Su Chen's gaze, Fade Chen smiled and said with some embarrassment: "The salted duck here is really delicious. I can't help it."

Su Chen was speechless after hearing this. Does this mean that he, Su, is the kind of person who gets angry easily?
With a wave of his hand, he asked the waiter to bring another salted duck to see how delicious it was.

After eating for half an hour, when Su Chen and Chen Fei came out of the tour, both of them had big bellies and looked like they were full.

It must be said that the food in this roadside restaurant is really good. Whether it is the duck blood vermicelli soup, soup dumplings or Jinling specialty salted duck, Su Chen thinks they are all very delicious.

The two of them ate two salted ducks, four bowls of duck blood vermicelli soup and six soup dumplings, and they were so satisfied.

"Sir, shall we go back to the hotel or walk around?" Chen Fei leaned against a tree by the roadside. He was so full that he didn't want to move.

Su Chen responded without even thinking: "Let's go back to the hotel. Wu Jing's matter has not been dealt with yet."

It is already late April, and there are only a few days left until the release. The earlier it is arranged, the earlier the warm-up can be started.

Upon hearing this, Fade Chen immediately reached out and hailed an empty taxi. They were not far from the hotel, about three to five minutes away.

After returning to the hotel, Su Chen lay down on the sofa, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and called Zhang Yiming. He planned to use the Douyin platform to promote his app.

As for why Wu Jing was not asked to contact Zhang Yiming directly, the reason is very simple. The importance is different. If Wu Jing contacted Zhang Yiming, he would just think that they were just friends and it was just a favor.

But if Su Chen called him, the meaning would be different. Zhang Yiming would definitely put in 2% effort and even use some technical means to promote Wolf Warrior .

That's the difference.

The call was answered quickly.

"Mr. Su~" Zhang Yiming called respectfully as soon as he answered the phone, and his attitude was much more humble than before.

Ever since the acquisition issue was resolved, he has truly seen Su Chen's strength in the imperial capital, and he also understands that he is relying on a strong supporter.

Even the company has recently experienced rapid development, and many official accounts have joined Douyin, which is indeed a wave of advertising for ByteDance.

"I hope I didn't disturb your rest~" Su Chen said with a smile.

"Mr. Su, that's not the case. You are always available to call me." Zhang Yiming also responded with a smile. He thought Su Chen called to ask about McDonald's.

He quickly said, "What happened this morning has caused a huge heated discussion online. It has become one of the top three hot topics. Many netizens jokingly call it the Battle to Defend McDonald's!"

Speaking of this, Zhang Yiming couldn't help laughing.

Hearing this, Su Chen's mouth curled up slightly, "You should pay more attention to this matter. Those who are interested in this aspect can give more traffic in the future. I believe you also know the responsibility of Douyin."

"Mr. Su, please rest assured about this!" Zhang Yiming's firm voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well~ I called just to tell you something." Su Chen briefly told him about the movie, and by the way sent him Wu Jing's phone number, and also gave him a few special instructions.

Although Su Chen had not seen the movie Wolf Warrior 2, he had read the script at the time and naturally knew what the plot was like. He thought that the movie made by Wu Jing would not disappoint him.

After arranging things, he asked about the company's matters before hanging up the phone.

Su Chen closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then opened the green bubble and saw the time and place of the premiere sent by Wu Jing, and frowned slightly.

It's normal that Wu Jing chose the capital city for the premiere of his film. After all, the media influence there is stronger than that in other regions.

"It seems like we're a bit rushed in terms of time!" Su Chen calculated that the premiere would be on April 30th, which was only about four or five days away. If he were to stay in Jinling for another day, he might still be a bit late.

After all, after Su Chen returns to the Magic City, there are still many things that need to be negotiated with Pei Rang.

After thinking about it, Su Chen sent a message to Chen Fei, planning to rest for two or three hours in the afternoon before setting off back to the Magic City.

By the way, I opened the group of Sicong and typed a few words.
"Ding ding~ Something's up, come out and bubble up!"
