Chapter 175: Forced Marriage
After negotiating the conditions with the Red Queen, Hu Ye sent all the antiques he got from the Metropolitan Museum of Art to the rental house, waiting for Boss Niu to pick them up the next day. However, Hu Ye underestimated Boss Niu's enthusiasm for work, and received a call from him early the next morning.
Boss Niu was very excited and shouted loudly on the phone: "Boss, this, this time's goods...... It's so good that several of them are in the same collection as the Metropolitan Museum, where did you get them? ”
Of course, Hu Ye wouldn't tell Boss Niu that these things were actually the collections of the Metropolitan Museum, but he said lightly: "Lao Wang, don't ask what you shouldn't ask, just do your job!" ”
Boss Niu was also too excited to ask, not really wanting to explore Hu Ye's details, and nodded again and again when he heard the words: "Yes, yes, you reminded me right, I was too excited." ”
Hu Ye said satisfied: "That's right, what's the matter with me?" ”
"I really have something to discuss with you." Boss Niu said cautiously: "This batch of goods is so exquisite, if it is sold through my channels, there will definitely be a lot of losses." If the origin is okay, I suggest that you go through the auction route, so that you can make a lot of money, you see? ”
Hu Ye quickly nodded and said: "Then it's okay to go through the auction house, or you come forward to contact you, and give it to you as usual, I only have one request, that is, to make a move as soon as possible." ”
Boss Niu was pleasantly surprised: "Great, I'll go and contact the auction house, thank you boss!" ”
After contacting Boss Niu, Hu Ye couldn't sleep, so he simply asked Queen Hong to book a train ticket for himself and went back to his hometown to accompany his parents for the Mid-Autumn Festival.
Knowing that their son was coming back for the holidays, Hu Ye's parents were very happy and cooked a table of dishes waiting for him. During the meal, Hu's mother kept putting vegetables into Hu Ye's bowl, which made him feel the care of his parents, and he only felt warm in his heart.
Mother Hu put half of the fish in Hu Ye's bowl and said with a smile: "It's definitely not as good as eating at home outside, so you can eat more when you come back!" ”
Looking at the dishes piled up in the bowl, Hu Ye smiled bitterly: "Mom, I can't eat it!" ”
"Nonsense!" Mother Hu stiffened her face and said, "I can't eat as much as I have eaten, I have eaten it all!" ”
Hu Ye hiccuped and quietly changed the topic: "Dad, Mom, are you living well in this old house?" ”
"What's so bad?" Dad Hu glanced at Hu Ye and said, "It's warm in winter and cool in summer, you can chat with your old neighbors when you go out, and you don't have to climb the stairs, it's no better!" ”
"No matter how good the house is, it's too old, and it will leak when it rains." Hu Ye said tentatively: "Why don't we buy a commercial house in the town?" ”
This is the reason why Hu Ye wanted to leave him 500,000 cash after becoming popular, he didn't have that ability before, but now he has finally made some money, and of course he has to honor his parents.
However, Mother Hu didn't appreciate it at all, frowned and said: "What are you doing to buy a house in the town, if you want to buy a house and get married, at least in the county seat!" ”
Hu Ye smiled: "I didn't buy it for me, I bought it for you." I also know that you are not used to going anywhere else, so let's buy a house in the town first. ”
Dad Hu said: "The family's money should be kept for you to buy a house, we live here very well, why spend that unjust money?" ”
Hu Ye smiled: "Dad, you don't have to spend your money to buy a house, I have money!" ”
Hu's mother said nervously: "It's hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a suite in the town, where did you get so much money?" Did you do something you shouldn't have done? ”
Hu Ye cried and laughed: "Mom, look at what you said." I'll be honest with you, I co-founded a pharmaceutical company with a friend who specializes in developing new drugs. Now the company is a bit eyebrow-raising and has given out a bonus, just enough to buy a house. ”
Hu Ye decided to tell his parents about his situation first, so that they could be mentally prepared.
Hearing that Hu Ye co-founded a company, Hu's father also asked with concern: "Is this company reliable?" You don't want to be sold by others for a little profit. ”
"Dad, Mom, you can rest assured, it's absolutely reliable!" Hu Ye patted his chest and said: "After a while, the development of new drugs is successful, let alone buying a house in the town, even if it is a house in Linhai, it will be easy." ”
Hu's mother said happily: "Oh, my Hu Ye has a future, it's really good!" ”
Dad Hu reminded his wife: "Don't praise the child so much, be careful that his tail is cocked to the sky!" ”
"What's wrong with praising the child?" Mother Hu glanced at her wife dissatisfied, and said to Hu Ye with a smile: "Child, you used to say that you want to start a business first and then start a family, now it's time to find a girlfriend, right?" ”
Hu Ye said embarrassedly: "Don't worry, I'm still young." ”
Mother Hu frowned and said, "How can you not be in a hurry?" I think Aunt Zhang's daughter is good, when the child comes back for the Spring Festival, you can meet and get in touch! ”
Hu Ye hurriedly shook his head: "Don't get involved in this matter, I know it in my heart!" ”
This time, Dad Hu stood on his wife's side, glared at Hu Ye and said, "What is blind mixing, it's so decided, our two families will come out for a meal together during the Spring Festival!" ”
Hu Ye, who was jointly suppressed by his parents, gave in helplessly, and secretly recalled what Aunt Zhang's daughter looked like, but he had no impression at all.
In the next two days, Hu Ye was recited by his parents every day, and the thing he turned over and over was that he should get married and have children as soon as possible, and they should hold their grandchildren as soon as possible.
Hu Ye couldn't stand it anymore, and just after the Mid-Autumn Festival, he ran away under the pretext of wanting to work. However, when I think of the Spring Festival, I definitely can't seem to avoid it, and I can't help but feel a little sad.
A few days after Hu Ye returned to Linhai, Boss Niu told him that he had contacted the auction company. However, in order to get a higher price for these antiques, the auction company said that it would need at least a month of promotion.
Although in Hu Ye's opinion, a month is a bit long, but it is barely acceptable, so he agreed to this request and asked Boss Niu to continue to follow up on this matter.
As soon as Hu Ye hung up the phone, the avatar of the red queen appeared in front of him, and asked him with a smile: "Master, how much do you think these antiques can be sold for?" ”
Hu Ye shrugged and said, "How do I know, why do you suddenly care about this?" ”
The red queen sighed: "Because people are short of money, the factory will be built next month, and then we will buy all kinds of equipment, and people will wait for the rice to be cooked!" ”
Hu Ye was surprised: "Didn't you just give you 20 million last time, and it was only a few days before it was spent?" ”
The red queen gave Hu Ye a wink and said: "People are women, it's normal to spend money!" ”
Looking at the red queen who was full of words, Hu Ye couldn't help but hold his forehead with his hand and said, "You ruined mother-in-law." ”
Just when the red queen was pretending to be a woman and making excuses for spending a lot of money for herself, Hu Ye received a call from a real woman.
