Chapter 495: A Good Idea to Kill Two Birds with One Stone

Jiang Ming looked at Ye Chen angrily and said deliberately: "Do you think I'm afraid of you? If I hadn't rear-ended, I would definitely have won you!"

Li Xiaofen pouted and said: "You are blowing! Just now Brother Ye Chen threw you behind his head with one foot of the accelerator. I think if you hadn't rear-ended, you would definitely have lost."

"Joke!" Jiang Ming deliberately found an excuse: "The reason Ye Chen was able to overtake me at the start was because he forgot to adjust the car to sports mode."

As he spoke, he hurriedly changed the subject: "Oh, it's meaningless for me to talk about this with a woman who doesn't understand cars. Let's hurry in, I've already booked a place."

Ye Chen didn't care about him anymore, and walked into the Hyatt Hotel with everyone.

Hyatt Hotel is a comprehensive hotel integrating dining, entertainment, and leisure, but the location is slightly remote. Compared with Buckingham Palace and Brilliant Club, it is still far behind.

Jiang Ming led the crowd into the Hyatt Hotel first. A waiter greeted him and asked politely, looking at Jiang Ming: "Hello sir, do you have a reservation?"

Although Jiang Ming was very bitter in his heart, he pretended to be arrogant on his face: "My surname is Jiang, and I booked a table in the lobby, table 03."

After speaking, Jiang Ming said to the crowd: "Sorry everyone, we booked a bit late, they only have empty seats in the lobby today."

Everyone expressed understanding. After all, for most people, it was their first time dining in a five-star hotel, and even in the lobby, they were very satisfied.

After the waiter checked that it was correct, he smiled and said: "Okay, Mr. Jiang, the seat you booked is ready, please follow me."

The waiter took the crowd to the catering department. Jiang Ming couldn't help but say to Ye Chen: "Ye Chen, you must have never been to such a high-end place, right? This time you are lucky to follow me in and see it. Otherwise, with your loser look, you might never have the chance to enjoy it in your life."

Hearing this, Ye Chen couldn't help but laugh in his heart.

The top Buckingham Palace Hotel in Jin Ling is his own, and the change in his bank card can buy the entire Hyatt Hotel, so for people like Jiang Ming, he was too lazy to even refute a word.

So, Ye Chen smiled slightly and was too lazy to pay attention to a loser like Jiang Ming.

Seeing Ye Chen's indifferent attitude, Jiang Ming was even more furious.

This Ye Chen had never put him in his eyes since he was a child! And he still didn't put him in his eyes now!

He was nothing more than a live-in son-in-law; he had no idea where he got the confidence to look down on him like this!

It seemed he had to find a way today to make him lose all face!

At this moment, Jiang Ming already had a good plan in his mind to kill two birds with one stone.

He would do everything in his power to make Ye Chen lose all face, while at the same time making his group of little friends admire him. When the time came, he would play a "white wolf with empty gloves" trick on them, striving to use their marriage savings to help himself solve the trouble of rear-ending Ma Zhongliang's Phaeton sedan!

The more Jiang Ming thought about it, the more he felt this was a great idea to kill two birds with one stone!

Having made up his mind, Jiang Ming felt much more at ease, and then he walked in front with great momentum.

Arriving at the reserved table, Jiang Ming invited Aunt Li to sit in the main seat.

After Aunt Li sat down, Jiang Ming sat on her left, while Zheng Xiang and the others who had been fawning over Jiang Ming sat down in order, occasionally offering a few words of flattery.

Ye Chen and Xiao Churan also sat on Aunt Li's right side at her request, and as for the others, they all sat down at the table in turn.

Once seated, Aunt Li looked at these children and said with great relief, "Children, thank you for still remembering me and coming to see me!"

Everyone hurriedly said, "Aunt Li, what are you saying? This is what we should do."

Aunt Li asked, "How have you all been doing these years?"

Everyone laughed and said, "Thank you for your concern, Aunt Li, we are all doing quite well."

Having left the orphanage for many years, everyone had their own different life trajectories, but generally speaking, most people were ordinary. No matter how great their ideals and ambitions were in the past, after entering society, they were defeated by reality and eventually returned to the ordinary in a mundane life.

Everyone had changed a lot. When many people talked about their lives, although they pretended to be relaxed, everyone fell silent after listening. It was obvious that many people's lives were not very satisfactory.

They had no background and no support. In this society, they could only rely on themselves to work bit by bit. Being able to become an ordinary person was already considered not bad; wanting to become someone superior was no different from a pipe dream.

At this time, someone asked Jiang Ming, "Jiang Ming, I heard that you are now a director of a listed group in Jin Ling?"

Jiang Ming smiled proudly and said, "Yes, I've been in this director position for half a year!"

As soon as these words came out, several people at the table exclaimed, "My god, a director position at a listed group must have an annual salary of hundreds of thousands, right? Jiang Ming, you are too amazing. No wonder you can afford a Mercedes!"

Jiang Ming said proudly, "It's just so-so. To put it bluntly, my annual salary of several hundred thousand is just enough to get by!"

Speaking of this, he pretended to sigh and said, "However, the salary doesn't count for much; it's only enough for food and clothing. What I really rely on is commissions and bonuses."

As he spoke, Jiang Ming added, "I won't hide it from everyone, I am currently in charge of a big project for the company. Once that project is settled, I can get at least a million or so in bonuses!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was even more astonished and hurriedly said, "Jiang Ming, no, Director Jiang, what kind of company is that? The benefits are so good that you can even get a bonus of over a million?!"

Jiang Ming said triumphantly, "It would scare you to hear it. It's the famous Wang Group in Jin Ling. Companies like the Xinhe Group are actually all industries under the Wang family. The profit of one project is calculated in the tens of millions. What I get is considered small!"

Ye Chen frowned. The Wang Group, wasn't that the industry of Wang Zhenggang's family?

Could it be that Jiang Ming was working for the Wang family?

That was a bit funny.

At this time, seeing that Ye Chen had been silent, Jiang Ming deliberately said, "Ye Chen, what kind of work are you doing now? You wouldn't have been relying on your wife to support you and eating soft rice ever since you became a live-in son-in-law, would you?"

As soon as this was said, his few lackeys couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Even with Ye Chen's great tolerance, he was annoyed by Jiang Ming's repeated provocations and said indifferently, "Yeah, I wash clothes, cook, and do housework at home every day. Life is very comfortable; where would I have free time to look for a job?"

What Ye Chen said was the truth, but to Jiang Ming's ears, it sounded like a huge joke.

He laughed and mocked, "I say, Ye Chen, we all know each other well. Do you have to be so desperate to save face here? I don't believe that being a live-in son-in-law can be that comfortable!"

As he spoke, he deliberately said, "By the way, we grew up together after all. I won't hide it from you, I happen to be looking for an assistant recently. Why don't you come and help me with Zheng Xiang?"
