Chapter 291: Marry your daughter to me

At this moment, Ye Chen couldn't help but whisper to his father-in-law, "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.

It was Pan Yuanming who, seeing more and more people coming, introduced the young man beside him with an arrogant face, saying, "Everyone, let me introduce you. This is my son-in-law, Zhang Jian. He is 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 so 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, the market value will definitely exceed one billion yuan. Their company's performance has grown fiercely in the past two years. If you are interested in making money, you must buy their company's stock then!"

Pan Yuanming's son-in-law, Zhang Jian, hurriedly said, "Dad, don't brag for me. I'm just an entrepreneur who has just achieved a little success. Your old classmates are hidden dragons and crouching tigers. How can a junior like me rank among them!"

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

An old man with silver hair sighed, "Oh my, Yuanming, this son-in-law of yours is truly young and promising, and he is humble and low-key. He is a son-in-law who rides a dragon!"

"That's for sure!" 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, "Doing housework means no job, right? I heard you are also idle at home, Changkun, right? Do you want me to ask my son-in-law to arrange a job for you two father-in-law and son-in-law? Changkun, you are a bit old, so guarding a 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 canteen to cook for the employees? What do you think?"

The surrounding classmates laughed out loud.

Ye Chen hadn't spoken all along. He had been ridiculed for years and was already numb to it. 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 set of tricks was a bit childish.

But Xiao Changkun was truly depressed, his face looked very ugly, and he couldn't help but curse in his heart: This Pan Yuanming is really pushing his luck. He has 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?

Seeing him not responding, Pan Yuanming 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 understand etiquette occasionally. Are you the same as him, not understanding 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 ask you to 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 must take care of him. How about this, I'll give him a monthly salary of ten thousand!"

Ye Chen laughed and said, "Sorry, 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, he wanted to hire me to go home to work, so he married his precious daughter to me. Uncle Pan, if you also want to hire me to work, then you must also marry your daughter to me!"

Pan Yuanming was suddenly angry and cursed, "You kid really doesn't know what's good for you! I kindly reward you with a meal, and you're playing this game with me here?"

Zhang Jian was also full of anger, looking at Ye Chen with cold eyes, threatening, "Kid, my father-in-law only has one daughter, who is my wife. You better be careful with your words, otherwise, I'll make you pay the price!"

Ye Chen smiled: "You two are really interesting. When did I ask you to reward me with a meal? It was clearly you who were licking your faces 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 this very normal?"

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

Ye Chen said indifferently, "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 more than three years. In 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..." The father-in-law and son-in-law, Pan Yuanming and Zhang Jian, were suddenly speechless.

Ye Chen was right.

He didn't take the initiative to ask these two to introduce a job, but these two insisted on licking their faces to come up. Now that Ye Chen stated his requirements, what did they have to be angry about?

Others saw that the gunpowder smell between the three was quite strong, so they hurriedly came over to smooth things over, saying, "Oh, everyone is here for a gathering today. Being happy is better than anything else, so don't bicker over this little thing."

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

After all, they were the ones looking for trouble first, and everyone saw it. If they continued to hold onto Ye Chen, they would only be looked down upon by everyone.

Xiao Changkun, who was on the side, was incredibly happy!

He really didn't expect his son-in-law to be so clever, blocking Pan Yuanming and Zhang Jian, the father-in-law and son-in-law, and making them suffer a dumb loss. He couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

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

He originally thought that he was at least the president of a company about to be listed, and he came with his father-in-law to keep a low profile while showing off. He didn't expect to be set up 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 must find a way to get his dignity back! ===== CHAPTER 292 =====
