Chapter 39

Ye Chen, Xiao Churan, and Dong Ruolin sat down together, and Wang Tengfei followed and sat down beside Dong Ruolin.

As soon as he sat down, he smiled and asked Dong Ruolin: "Ruolin, I heard you came to Jin Ling this time to work at the Emgrand Group?"

Dong Ruolin nodded: "I just started."

Wang Tengfei smiled: "What a coincidence, my dad is at the Emgrand Group; he's a deputy general manager of a department. I'll have him take care of you when the time comes."

As soon as this was said, several people at the table exclaimed: "Brother Fei, your dad is a deputy general manager of the Emgrand Group?"

"Yes." Wang Tengfei nodded and said: "He was promoted last year."

Someone hurriedly flattered: "A deputy general manager's annual salary must be several million, right? Too amazing! No wonder your family is so rich!"

Wang Tengfei smiled and said: "Several million is just the salary; my dad has great authority and still has some other income. Now the Emgrand Group is doing a hotel project, and if this project is done, my dad can earn at least ten or twenty million."

A male classmate sitting opposite him hurriedly asked: "Brother Fei, I also want to join the Emgrand Group, but I've submitted my resume several times and haven't heard anything. Can you talk to your uncle and see if you can help me with an internal recommendation?"

Wang Tengfei nodded and said readily: "Okay, send your resume to my WeChat later, and I'll say hello to him."

Ye Chen couldn't help but frown. He really didn't know that Wang Tengfei's father was actually a senior executive at the Emgrand Group.

This is interesting; then I'll just send a text message to Wang Dongxue later and have her fire Wang Tengfei's father.

So he deliberately asked: "Wang Tengfei, since your dad is so capable at the Emgrand Group, why didn't he get you in?"

Wang Tengfei sneered with disdain: "What do you know? It's meaningless for me to join the Emgrand Group; the father-son relationship can't be hidden, and I'll be watched at all times if I join."

As he spoke, Wang Tengfei said proudly: "So I don't consider the Emgrand Group at all. I've started a building materials company, and I'll directly cooperate with the Emgrand Group through my dad to take the orders for building materials supply for the Emgrand Group."

"Damn!" Someone exclaimed: "Then aren't you making a fortune?"

Wang Tengfei sneered: "It's okay, in a year, I should be able to earn ten million or so."

As he spoke, he deliberately looked at Ye Chen and asked: "Ye Chen, what work are you doing now? Don't tell me you've been washing clothes and cooking ever since you became a live-in son-in-law?"

Everyone else at the table burst into laughter.

Ye Chen said lightly: "Every day, besides washing clothes and cooking, I have to pick up my wife from work and give her massages and back rubs; life is boundless."

Wang Tengfei was so angry his lungs were about to explode. This bastard, actually looking so justified, his skin is really thick!

Suppressing his anger, he gritted his teeth and said: "Ye Chen, I didn't expect you to be so comfortable eating soft rice!"

"Otherwise?" Ye Chen said shamelessly: "I didn't steal or rob; I ate soft rice with my own ability, why shouldn't I be comfortable?"

The surrounding classmates were dumbfounded.

They had seen shameless people, but they had never seen anyone so shameless!

The key was that everyone was still very envious!

After all, Xiao Churan was really too beautiful. Being able to eat the soft rice of such a goddess-level woman was something many people dreamed of!

Envious, jealous, and hateful!

If there was a chance to serve a beauty like Xiao Churan, what did being a live-in son-in-law count for? Being a live-in son-in-law is also a winner in life!

Wang Tengfei was choked to death.

Just at this time, Wang Daokun's wife, Liu Lili, suddenly climbed onto the stage.

After she thanked everyone for their presence with a smile, she said: "Today, I thank everyone for sending us many gifts, which made both Daokun and me very moved. To express our gratitude to everyone, we decided to announce the details of the gifts here. Thank you again!"

Since it was an opening ceremony today, the segment of reporting the gifts was naturally indispensable.

Originally, Wang Daokun didn't want to do this, but he didn't have much say, so he could only let Liu Lili do whatever she wanted.

But many classmates weren't surprised by this, because people have a psychology of comparison and showing off. Everyone saw what everyone sent, and they could judge how everyone was doing after entering society.

Afterward, Liu Lili started calling names.

"Thanks to classmate Zhang Jie for sending a red envelope of one thousand yuan!"

"Thanks to classmate Wang Bei for sending a pair of gold ingots!"

"Thanks to classmate Xu Ouo for sending a jade mythical creature!"

"Thanks to classmate Wang Tengfei for sending a red envelope of ten thousand yuan!"

The previous gifts, whether they were red envelopes or gifts, were mostly worth around 1,000 yuan. Suddenly, when it reached Wang Tengfei, he gave a red envelope of ten thousand yuan, which stunned a group of classmates.

It was just an opening ceremony, and he gave a red envelope of ten thousand yuan; this hand was too big!

Many people exclaimed and looked at Wang Tengfei, praising his generosity.

Wang Tengfei was also full of pride. It seemed that he had easily taken the top spot among these classmates.

At this time, Liu Lili added: "Thanks to Ye Chen and Xiao Churan for sending an old painting!"

As soon as this was said, everyone burst into ridicule!

An old painting? Is it worth a hundred yuan?

Are these two too stingy? Wang Daokun is opening a restaurant and organizing such a sumptuous banquet; the cost per person for the meal alone is several hundred yuan, and you two came to mooch off the meal and only sent an old painting? Aren't you afraid of being laughed at?

Wang Tengfei also sneered and ridiculed: "Ye Chen, you can afford a BMW 520 and can afford the money to modify it, so why did you only send such a piece of junk when an old classmate's restaurant opened?"

Ye Chen smiled lightly: "You don't know its origin, so why say it's junk?"

Wang Tengfei ridiculed: "Don't think I don't know what you're planning. You just want to buy that broken, rotten fake antique to pass it off as a good thing, so people can't tell how much it's actually worth!"

As he spoke, he aggressively asked: "Tell the truth, how much did you buy that old painting for? One hundred or eighty?"

Ye Chen smiled slightly: "That painting is worth more than all the gifts everyone sent today combined!"

"Hahahaha!" Wang Tengfei took the lead in laughing: "You really are blowing smoke without a draft! I gave ten thousand in a red envelope, and there are over twenty other classmates; even at one thousand each, that's over twenty thousand. What you mean is that your painting is worth over thirty thousand?"

Ye Chen smiled: "You underestimated it."

"Ahahaha!"

Now, all the classmates in the class were laughing.

Everyone felt that this Ye Chen was really too fond of acting tough!

You sent some piece of junk, and you dare to come out and talk nonsense? A painting worth tens of thousands? Who the hell are you trying to fool?

At this time, Liu Lili on the stage also felt disdain in her heart and asked curiously: "Classmate Ye Chen, I don't know whose ancient painting you sent? It can be worth tens of thousands?"

Ye Chen said lightly: "A painter from the Qing Dynasty, not very famous."

Liu Lili laughed: "Oh, what a coincidence, my dad is an antique appraiser, and he's particularly authoritative. His name is Liu Yuesheng. Those who know antiques should have heard his name, right?"

Dong Ruolin exclaimed: "Liu Yuesheng? The antique expert Liu Yuesheng? I remember this person; he's been on CCTV! Is he your father?"

Liu Lili smiled: "That's right, he's my father. He's upstairs now. Why don't I ask him to come down and appreciate the ancient painting that classmate Ye Chen sent?"

Wang Tengfei stood up and said loudly: "Then I'll trouble Lili to ask her father to come down and help us appreciate it. If the value of Ye Chen's painting really exceeds all the gifts everyone sent today, I, Wang Tengfei, will eat this table on the spot!"
