Chapter 303: Old Jin’s ways

The man was surnamed Jin (Gold). His name was Jin Shengxing.

The child was called Jinshan (Golden Mountain).

Xu Tingsheng had dinner with this father and son that night.

They didn’t seem to be in a rush to return, anyway.

Arriving at a restaurant near the beach, Xu Tingsheng thought that the time had come for him to utilise his language proficiency as he thought to find a waiter with better English to communicate with. In the meantime, however, Old Jin had already settled the matter completely with gestures and wads of cash that he clapped down on the table.

After the first waiter had returned with tips in hand, the other waiters successively came over to serve them.

“Thank you...hello...I love you…” Chinese phrases were thrown out crappily one after the other.

Who said that the French were arrogant?

After generously distributing the tips to everyone, Old Jin ordered a whole bunch of seafood and various types of wine. He turned and looked at the dazed Xu Tingsheng, saying, “See, problems that can be settled with money are not problems in the first place. Who needs culture anyway?!”

Xu Tingsheng had no words for that as he just casually asked, “Old Bro, what do you work in?”

Old Jin said, “Coal mining. I’ve got a few mines over in Shanxi.”

Xu Tingsheng knew that he had met a real tycoon.

Going by how Old Jin was spending his money, logically speaking, there should be no need for him to follow a tour group like this at all. Getting a private trip arranged should not be a problem. Yet, not only was he a tycoon, he was also a bumpkin, not liking all that high-class, elegant stuff as well as he neither understood nor cared about it. What he got a kick out of was good enough.

Such a valiant living philosophy, such a hearty, unrestrained manner.

“What about you? You’re still studying?” Old Jin asked Xu Tingsheng.

Xu Tingsheng answered, “Right, I’m in my second year of university.”

Old Jin said, “So you really are still a student, huh. Well, just relax and eat, young bro. You probably don’t usually get much of a chance to eat like this anyway...well, go on. Old bro will pay. You’re still spending your parents’ money on school. If there’s nothing, don’t randomly run around and waste money in the future.”

While his words should clearly be described as very ‘self-righteous’...
