Chapter 031: The Grace of Saving Lives is Directly Discounted
The next day, at noon.
Chen Ye followed the text message notification sent by his uncle early in the morning and came to the Sheraton Hotel in the city.
Entering the hall, Chen Ye walked to the row of display cards, ready to see which hall his grandfather was, but saw an unexpected and familiar name.
"Congratulations to Xu Dong for becoming an awakened person, and his future is bright!
Chen Ye: "......"
He has seen all kinds of banquets, but witnessing such an 'unconventional' banquet, he feels that his three views still need to be refreshed.
Xu Dong, tell me honestly, isn't your family really looking for an excuse to collect money?
In the mess, there was an uncle greeting behind him, a handsome middle-aged guy with a very temperament.
"Xiao Ye, why are you still standing here, go to the Splendid Hall on the third floor. β
"Won't you go up, uncle? β
"Your aunt is on her way with your grandparents, and I'm waiting here. β
"Then I'll wait with you, I haven't seen my grandparents for a long time. β
Seeing that Chen Ye was so sensible, the uncle smiled and nodded.
The two uncles and nephews sat in the hall, occasionally chatting about family chores and occasionally chatting about studies.
"Just do your best in the college entrance examination, you are also an adult, you know what to do, and your uncle will not nag. The uncle was still so open-minded and hearty, patting his nephew on the shoulder: "But it's still the same sentence, if you want to encounter really tricky trouble, remember to come and discuss with your uncle, family, don't see outside." β
Chen Ye nodded a little unpleasantly.
Due to his mother's early death, there are very few contacts between him and his mother's mother's family, and he may not be able to meet them during the New Year's holidays.
Chen Ye is afraid of his grandfather, they are sad and uncomfortable when they see him, uncle, why don't they care about Chen Ye and look at everyone's family reunion and be gloomy?
But in their hearts, they all care about each other.
At this time, a couple walked in at the door, and by coincidence, the uncle and nephew knew one of them!
"Hey, isn't this Mr. He, it's been a long time. β
The man in the couple saw his uncle and walked straight to greet him.
"Oh, Mr. Huang. Uncle also got up to shake hands, but Chen Ye could sense that his uncle's face was a little dazed.
It seems that there is something unpleasant between these two people, but they still tacitly talk about it.
"My father's seventieth birthday, holding a birthday banquet here, what about you?"
"Then I'll have to toast later, and it just so happened that one of my wife's students said that she had just woken up, so she invited us to come and cheer. β
Mr. Huang smiled and said: "And the student's parents are still in charge of logistics by Sihai Group, so I thought about taking the opportunity to take down this big list, and said okay, don't rob me." β
"Who dares to grab the list you like with your yellow pickpocket. Uncle's face became even more stiff.
Smelling the smell of gunpowder in his words, Chen Ye turned his head to look at the woman with the sharp mouth and monkey cheeks.
It's not that enemies don't get together.
It's not the exterminator too.
It is estimated that he was invited to Xu Dong's celebration banquet.
Zheng Hongyu also looked unhappy, and muttered: "I really don't understand the way of respecting teachers at all, I can't ask a hello, and I have taught for three years." β
"Attack sensed, +5 XP!"
"For the sake of what you have taught me for three years, whether or not I have learned anything from you, I do have a greeting. Chen Ye naturally wouldn't be a little lamb who was scared, and said with a smile: "Teacher Zheng, you better be less angry and angry, look at the more and more wrinkles on your face, your skin is getting darker and darker, if it goes on like this, your husband shouldn't like it." β
"Attack successful, +20 XP!"
"You!" Zheng Hongyu's menopausal anger is still so big, it burns at a point.
"Eh, wait, what's going on?" Zheng Hongyu's husband Mr. Huang's face sank and stared at Chen Ye, "This is also your student?"
"It used to be, but my grades were too poor, and I was hit by two heads for three days, and I was transferred to another class a few days ago. Zheng Hongyu said with a dark face.
Hearing this, my uncle's face was also ugly, and he said, "I am Xiao Ye's uncle, is there any misunderstanding here?"
"Whether it's a misunderstanding or not, it's clear if you ask your nephew. Zheng Hongyu scoffed.
"Yes, it's not a misunderstanding. Chen Ye looked at Mr. Huang and said with a smile: "But it is inevitable to be biased to ask me as a client, I think it should be the most fair to ask Mr. Zheng your husband's opinion on this matter." β
"I? I don't know what's going on here, how to say. Mr. Huang retorted a little lacking in qi, and even a weak heart.
His wife's stinky temper, how could he not know.
When I first got married, it was okay, but the older I get, the worse it gets, and then he was exposed, and the family staged a full martial arts at two ends in three days.
Since then, Zheng Hongyu's temper has become worse, and menopause is coming early, not to mention touching it, even if he looks at it more, he will respond to it.
However, for the sake of face, Zheng Hongyu refused to divorce.
So, in addition to being on the same household registration book, the two of them pretended to be each other, but in fact, the marriage had already existed in name only.
Like today, he didn't really want to go to the banquet, but in order to take care of the face of the yellow-faced woman, and heard that the student's parents were the logistics manager of Sihai Group, so he followed, but he didn't expect to encounter this farce.
Uncle is also a good person in the business field, looking at Mr. Huang's cramped face and Mrs. Shi's bad temper, he faintly knew in his heart, and said: "It's all a big day, don't talk about these disgraceful things, Mr. Huang, you have something to do, you should be busy first." β
"Okay, we'll talk about it later. β
Mr. Huang didn't want to be seen as a joke in public, so he dragged the yellow-faced woman and walked away.
"What kind of water tank holds what kind of water, as rumored, these two people...... Alas. Uncle is very aware of the reason, he didn't think of the responsibility to his nephew at all, and said with relief: "Any profession is a bad horse, and teachers are no exception, especially now that the social atmosphere is not good, like your cousin because he didn't participate in his teacher's cram school at the beginning, he was put in small shoes from time to time, or your aunt gave me a bunch of gifts to settle down, and when you meet such a black teacher, you can only say that you are unlucky, you can avoid it, there is no need to find yourself unhappy." β
Chen Ye nodded and asked rhetorically, "Uncle, your relationship with Mr. Huang is not very good?"
"Okay, you kid, you can observe words and looks, and you have your uncle and my good eyesight. Uncle smiled approvingly, then shook his head and sighed: "It's not a big holiday, it's nothing more than business friction between peers, all of which are engaged in freight, in the past two years, he Lao Huang has dug a lot of teams from me, and even customers are grabbing it, just said that the Sihai Group he mentioned just now, the recent logistics bidding, and I fought very fiercely." β
"That's it, can you still hold back your temper and talk and laugh with him just now?" Chen Ye laughed, suddenly remembering that Xu Dong's father was rumored to be an executive of Sihai Group.
"What else can I do if I can't bear it? Could it be that I just saw someone and beat them with a fist and vomited blood. Uncle smiled: "We don't care about others, we just need to do our own thing, like Lao Huang, who has a bad heart, and viciously lowers prices to disrupt the market, and the business will not last long." β
Chen Ye wanted to call for his uncle's open-mindedness, but when he thought of the face of the exterminator and his wife just now, he would be so appeased, and he was inevitably a little unhappy in his heart.
As I thought, the phone in my pocket rang.
An unfamiliar number.
After Chen Ye picked it up, a very clear male voice came: "It's Mr. Chen Ye, hello, I'm Qi Liangping." β
Chen Ye's eyebrows raised, and he quietly told his uncle to go to the bathroom, and then said as he walked: "How is Mr. Qi recovering?"
"It's been a week since I was rescued, and my body and mind have basically recovered, and I've been a lot of broken things these days. β
As for how Qi Liangping got Chen Ye's mobile phone number...... As Shaodong, a big chaebol in this city, it is still easy to find out about someone, not to mention that Chen Ye is still his 'life-saving benefactor', I am afraid that Chen Ye's background information has already been placed on the table of the Qi family.
"Mr. Chen, everyone is a young person, you should be cheerful when you do things and talk, I won't say much about any hypocritical clichΓ©s on the phone, I don't know if you have time today, I want to invite you to a meal and talk in person to express gratitude. β
"Forget about eating, I don't think there's any need for everyone to do this kind of scene. β
Chen Ye simply refused.
Although he is young, due to several changes in his life, his insight into the world far exceeds that of his peers.
Although Qi Liangping will remember his life-saving kindness, he can't change the fact that they are two classes with each other.
Meet for dinner, accept a few words of compliments and thanks, and you can make each other close friends?
Don't be naΓ―ve!
Besides, Chen Ye, a salted fish, has no ambition, and he wants to squeeze into the so-called upper class.
Those routine novels that coax children always pull the protagonist to save the big guys, so they have always been respected.
But the reality is that the higher the status, the less likely they are to stick to personal friendships other than family affection and interests.
They would rather pay off it with the actual remuneration at one time, than not knowing when people will come to the door to ask for a favor.
"If Mr. Qi really doesn't want to go, then it's better to discount it directly. Chen Ye just shook his head and said coldly: "You also said it, everyone is a young person, and you should be happy when you do things and talk." β
"........." What else can Qi Liangping say, he is also helpless when he encounters such a non-rational Engong.
However, if the favor debt can be settled directly with money, it will also be his appetite.
And he also felt that Chen Ye didn't want to make his relationship with him public to avoid getting involved in the kidnapping case.
"By the way, I heard that your group has recently been bidding for logistics?" Chen Ye changed the topic again.
"I don't know, I didn't handle it. Qi Liangping said curiously: "What are you asking for?"
"My uncle runs a trucking company. Chen Ye got straight to the point.
Qi Liangping had a number, and said in a deep voice: "Normally, this piece is subject to public bidding, but since Mr. Chen has spoken, under similar conditions, I can make the decision to hand over this business to your uncle." β
Chen Ye smiled: "Then I'll rest assured, it just so happened that my uncle and I had my grandfather's birthday banquet at the Sheraton Hotel, and I heard that the person in charge of logistics in your group is also running wine here, so let's just arrange for them to meet and negotiate this deal." β
