Chapter 809: Guest of Honor

Subsequently, the birthday banquet officially began.

Ye Chen was honored as a guest of honor and sat beside the old lady with Dong Ruolin and Gu Weiliang.

After the banquet started, the Dong family took turns to toast him, their expressions, tones, and actions all full of flattery.

Ye Chen didn't have any airs. If someone came to toast, he would drink, even if Kong Delong came to toast timidly, he would drink readily.

Gu Weiliang also carefully toasted Ye Chen during the period, licking his face and saying: "Mr. Ye, I have another thing I want to ask you..."

Ye Chen knew what he wanted to say, nothing more than wanting to restore his ability in that regard.

However, in view of the vicious acts committed by the four people in their family against Gu Yanzhong's family of three, Ye Chen would never let them recover as before now.

Adults must pay the price for their actions, otherwise how can they learn lessons?

Therefore, he didn't wait for Gu Weiliang to finish, and said faintly: "Gu Weiliang, you watched this whole thing today. You should also know why I let Kong Delong go to Jin Ling to reform for a year, right?"

"Yes, yes, yes!" Gu Weiliang nodded repeatedly and said: "Mr. Ye, you are upright and fair. I naturally trust you, but this matter... can you also set a time for us like you did for Kong Delong? So that we can have something to look forward to, what do you think?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "You also know that Kong Delong didn't do much evil, nothing more than a cheap mouth, so I let Kong Delong reform for a year. But the four of you went too far. You even tried to threaten people's lives before. This nature is much worse than Kong Delong!"

Gu Weiliang's face was full of cold sweat.

He knew what Ye Chen meant.

Kong Delong just talked nonsense, and had to reform for a year after losing.

His family of four forced his uncle to transfer trillions of assets, and even threatened to deal with his aunt and cousin after he died. This crime was much more serious than Kong Delong's.

Moreover, his uncle was the good brother of Ye Chen's father, Ye Changying, his aunt was the good sister of Ye Chen's mother, and his cousin was Ye Chen's fiancée since childhood. With such a close relationship, Ye Chen must hate the four of them even more!

Speaking of Kong Delong, Kong Delong only talked nonsense and had to reform for a year. Wouldn't his family of four have to reform for ten or twenty years?!

Thinking that he might not have reproductive ability for the next ten or twenty years, let alone the qualification to enjoy the comfort in that regard, Gu Weiliang wanted to die.

He had a bitter face and begged: "Mr. Ye, please look at my uncle's face and spare us this time... or can you shorten the reform time a little bit..."

Ye Chen said faintly: "This depends on your performance. If you perform well, three or five years might be enough. If you don't perform well, twenty or thirty years is not impossible."

Gu Weiliang was about to cry and whispered: "Young Master Ye, you will be my brother-in-law in the future, and I will be your brother-in-law. Please look at this relationship and spare me. If the news that your brother-in-law is impotent spreads, you won't have any face either, don't you think?"

Ye Chen smiled: "I don't think so, there's no loss of face."

"Uh..." Gu Weiliang almost collapsed.

This Ye Chen was simply impervious to oil and salt!

He wanted to use his cousin's relationship to trick him, but he didn't expect him not to give a chance at all.

Moreover, even if he performed well, it might take three or five years. Three or five years of abstinence, isn't this killing him?

But besides this, he had no other good way, so he could only respectfully and shamelessly say: "Brother-in-law, I will definitely perform well in the future, don't worry."

Ye Chen said with a dark face: "Don't talk nonsense, I am not your brother-in-law."

Gu Weiliang nodded to himself: "I know, not yet, but sooner or later..."

Ye Chen was too lazy to argue with him about such boring questions, so he simply stopped paying attention to him.

Dong Ruolin leaned over and whispered to him: "Ye Chen, when are you going back to Jin Ling?"

"Tomorrow."

"Ah? So early? Not staying in Jingcheng for a few more days?"

"My business is done, there's nothing to stay for, I'm leaving tomorrow."

Dong Ruolin said without thinking: "Then I'll leave tomorrow too, let's go together, okay? Take the same flight back."

Ye Chen wanted to refuse, but seeing her full of begging, he really couldn't say no.

After all, it's normal for friends to take the same flight, and he couldn't deliberately not take the same flight as her.

So, Ye Chen said: "Okay, let's go together."

Dong Ruolin hurriedly said: "Then give me your ID information later, and I'll buy the tickets together!"

"Okay."

When the birthday banquet was going on, Kong Delong's eldest and second uncles had already prepared the equipment for him to ride to Jin Ling.

They arranged for servants to buy an old-fashioned Phoenix brand 28-inch bicycle, installed a luggage rack that could tie things on the back of the bicycle, and then prepared riding helmets, thickened down jackets, sleeping bags, tents, water bottles, and other things for him.

They were not really out of concern for this nephew, but wanted him to set off as soon as he finished eating, so as not to dawdle and make Ye Chen angry. If he implicated the Dong family again, it would be a huge loss.

After Dong Xiuhua found out, she couldn't care about being angry, and hurriedly called her husband Kong Lingce, who had just finished work and was preparing to rush to the birthday banquet scene, told him the whole story, and then asked him to hurry home and pack some luggage for his son, change of clothes, dry food on the road, etc.

After Kong Lingce heard the cause and effect of the matter, he was both angry and afraid. Fortunately, this matter did not offend the Gu family, otherwise the Kong family would be in big trouble.

Therefore, he couldn't care about attending his mother-in-law's birthday banquet, and hurriedly rushed home to pack things for his son.

By the time the birthday banquet was almost over, he finally drove over in a hurry.

Seeing his father coming, Kong Delong hugged his father and cried bitterly without saying a word.

He was about to go to Jin Ling to reform for a year. He had already guessed how hard this year would be, so he felt very sad when he saw his father.

Kong Lingce was also extremely helpless.

Although he felt sorry for his son, he had been mixing in Jingcheng for so many years and knew the essence of the upper class too well.

In this upper class, money is the king.

Don't look at the Kong family acting tough, but when they meet a top family like the Gu family, they don't even dare to fart. Since his son offended the Gu family's people and the Gu family's distinguished guests, this matter must be paid for, otherwise the Kong family would have to bear the Gu family's anger.

There have been such families before. The son caused trouble, but the parents were protective, insisting on using the whole family to carry it. As a result, the family was almost bankrupt, and they couldn't protect the son. The son was directly abolished by the big family's people.

Big families doing business nowadays basically walk on a tightrope.

If you want to do business worth hundreds of millions or more, you must use financial leverage, otherwise you can't develop at all.

Even the Wanda Group, in order to develop rapidly, owes a large amount of bank loans. It is rumored that the Country Garden, a large enterprise, has a debt of 900 billion.

If the operation is good, the speed of making money must be greater than the speed of paying back money, so there will be no big situation.

However, once the capital chain breaks, it is possible to be doomed at any time.

The three major families in Jingcheng all have a large number of bank and capital relationships behind them. If they really want to fix a company, they will directly pull the salary from the bottom of the capital chain, and the other party will go bankrupt because of the broken capital chain.

Therefore, Kong Lingce was more afraid of the Gu family's strength than Kong Delong.

It was precisely because of this that he felt lucky in his heart that the only one who was unlucky in the end was his son. If the Kong family was implicated, he would be scolded to death by the old man! ===== CHAPTER 810 =====
