Chapter 291: Marry your daughter to me

At this time, Ye Chen couldn't help but ask his father-in-law in a low voice: "Dad, who exactly is this Auntie Han that everyone is talking about?"

Xiao Changkun rolled his eyes at him and scolded in a low voice: "Don't bring up things that shouldn't be brought up!"

Ye Chen shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Pan Yuanming, seeing more and more people arriving, introduced the young man beside him with an arrogant face: "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my son-in-law, Zhang Jian. He works in the internet industry and started his own company. Now the company is about to be listed on the Growth Enterprise Market."

"About to be listed?" Zhou Qing couldn't help but exclaim, "After listing, the company's market value will be several hundred million, right?"

"Several hundred million?" Pan Yuanming curled his lips and blurted out, "At least one billion to start! You don't think about how difficult it is to list now. Without a company with real strength, how could it pass the many rounds of review by the China Securities Regulatory Commission?"

As he spoke, Pan Yuanming said very proudly, "Let me tell you, when my son-in-law's company is listed, its market value will definitely exceed one billion yuan. Their company's performance has grown very fiercely over the past two years. If you are interested in making money, you must buy their company's stock when the time comes!"

Pan Yuanming's son-in-law, Zhang Jian, hurriedly spoke up: "Dad, don't brag for me. I'm just an entrepreneur who has achieved a little success. Your old classmates are hidden dragons and crouching tigers; how could a junior like me compare?"

Zhang Jian's humility won the favor of many people on the scene.

An old man with silver hair sighed: "Oh my, Yuanming, your son-in-law is truly young and promising, and he is humble and low-key. He is a son-in-law worth a thousand gold!"

"That goes without saying!" Pan Yuanming nodded with a proud face, then deliberately looked at Xiao Changkun and asked, "Changkun, what does your son-in-law do?"

"My son-in-law?" Xiao Changkun looked at Ye Chen and sighed in his heart. Although he wanted to brag randomly and say his son-in-law was a big shot, he was afraid of being exposed and making a bigger joke, so he said awkwardly: "My son-in-law does housework."

"Does housework?" Everyone was dumbfounded and laughed.

They never dreamed that Xiao Changkun would give such an answer.

Pan Yuanming curled his lips and said, "Does housework mean he has no job? I heard you are also idle at home, Changkun, right? Do you want me to have my son-in-law arrange a job for the two of you? Changkun, you are a bit old, but watching the gate should be no problem. Your son-in-law is young and has experience in housework, so why don't you just go to the staff cafeteria to cook for the employees? How about that?"

The surrounding classmates laughed out loud.

Ye Chen hadn't spoken the whole time. He had long been numb to being mocked over the past few years. He had experienced much stronger situations than this countless times, so he didn't feel ashamed at all. Instead, he felt that Pan Yuanming's routine was a bit childish.

But Xiao Changkun was truly depressed, his face very ugly. He couldn't help but curse in his heart: *This Pan Yuanming is really pushing his luck. He's been mocking and ridiculing me since we met. Isn't it just because he didn't chase Han Meiqing back then? Is it necessary to hold a grudge against me for so many years?

Pan Yuanming saw that he didn't respond and deliberately mocked: "Hey, Xiao Changkun, I'm kindly introducing you to a job; can't you at least say something?"

After speaking, he looked at Ye Chen and said with dissatisfaction: "Young man, your father-in-law is old and his brain isn't good, so it's forgivable if he doesn't know etiquette occasionally. Do you, like him, not understand basic etiquette?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly and said, "Uncle, to tell you the truth, the pay for hiring me to work is very high."

"High?" Pan Yuanming curled his lips: "How high can it be? If I let you cook, is four or five thousand a month not enough for you?"

Zhang Jian, who was on the side, wanted to please his father-in-law and deliberately echoed: "Dad, since he is your old classmate's son-in-law, I will definitely take care of him a little. How about this, I'll give him a monthly salary of ten thousand!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "I'm sorry, but I don't want money when I work for people."

Pan Yuanming frowned: "You don't want money, what do you want?"

Ye Chen smiled: "Whoever hires me to work must marry their daughter to me. For example, my father-in-law hired me to go home and do housework, so he married his precious daughter to me. If you, Uncle Pan, also want to hire me to work, then you must also marry your daughter to me!"

Pan Yuanming was immediately furious and cursed: "You brat, you really don't know what's good for you! I kindly reward you with a bite to eat, and you're playing this game with me?"

Zhang Jian was also full of anger. He looked at Ye Chen with cold eyes and threatened: "Brat, my father-in-law only has one daughter, who is my wife. You better watch your mouth, otherwise, I'll make you pay!"

Ye Chen laughed: "You two are really interesting. When did I ask you to reward me with a bite to eat? It was clearly you who licked your faces and wanted to hire me to work. You want to hire me, I stated my requirements. If you agree, you agree; if you don't, you don't. Isn't that very normal?"

Zhang Jian said angrily: "How can you set conditions like that? Aren't you clearly looking for trouble?"

Ye Chen said calmly: "You're wrong. I'm not looking for trouble. I've always had these conditions. To tell you the truth, I've been married to my wife for over three years. For these three years, I've been doing housework, buying groceries, sweeping the floor, and cooking at home. This is my job, and the reward for my work is my wife. If you want to hire me to do things, you naturally have to follow the conditions I require. If you can afford the conditions I want, give them; if you can't, shut up. Such a simple truth, you two are at least eighty years old combined, don't you understand?"

"You..." Pan Yuanming and Zhang Jian, father-in-law and son-in-law, were speechless.

Ye Chen was right.

He didn't take the initiative to ask these two to introduce him to a job; it was these two who insisted on licking their faces and coming over. Now that Ye Chen had stated his requirements, what did they have to be angry about?

Others saw that the atmosphere between the three was quite tense and hurriedly came over to smooth things over: "Oh, everyone is here for a reunion today. Being happy is better than anything else. Don't bicker over such small things."

Pan Yuanming and Zhang Jian suffered a silent loss. Although they were very unhappy, they couldn't continue to argue.

After all, they were the ones who looked for trouble first, and everyone saw it. If they continued to hold onto Ye Chen, it would only make everyone look down on them.

Xiao Changkun, who was on the side, was overjoyed!

He really didn't expect his son-in-law to be so clever, blocking Pan Yuanming and Zhang Jian with a silent loss in one go. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

Zhang Jian looked at Ye Chen with a hint of resentment in his eyes.

He had originally thought that he was at least a CEO of a company about to be listed, and he had come with his father-in-law to show off in a low-key way. He hadn't expected to be tricked by this Ye Chen, causing him to dig a hole for himself in the end.

For him, this loss was truly too uncomfortable, and he had to find a way to get his own back!
