Chapter 289: Xia Family banquet Part 2
"Aiya, how can I accept this?" "Director Liu is too polite."
Xia Chuanliu was grinning from ear to ear, but anyone could tell that he wasn"t embarra.s.sed at all.
"No, no, no. It"s my honor to be able to give Director Xia a gift. "It"s my honor." Liu Guang"s mouth twitched. Even though he was unwilling, it looked like he could only spend a lot.
"How about this, Director Liu? Go in first." "I still have to entertain the guests later." Xia Chuanliu made an inviting gesture.
Instantly, Liu Guang heaved a sigh of relief. If he continued to be blackmailed by this b.a.s.t.a.r.d, he would probably vomit blood on the spot. He had to leave this vampire as soon as possible.
"Awesome!"
Xia Chuanliu felt comfortable all over, as if he had turned over a new leaf. Thinking back to how arrogant Liu Guang was, as the Director of the City Administration, he had thousands of subordinates.
For a small fry like him, even if he played mahjong with him every day and even deliberately lost money to him, he would not be treated well by Liu Guang. After more than ten years, he was still just a small town manager.
But now, the wheel of fortune had turned, and this fellow had come up to give him a gift. Even if he extorted him right in front of him, the other party wouldn"t even dare to fart.
Even if it was a slap to his face, the other party could only say that it was a good slap.
"Eh? Isn"t this my cousin from back home?"You"re here too?" Xia Chuanliu saw a middle-aged man in a white suit sneak in. He seemed to want to avoid Xia Chuanliu"s attention and silently entered.
But Xia Chuanliu"s eyes were sharp, and he caught him in an instant.
"Aiya, cousin, it"s been a long time since we last met." "How have you been?" The middle-aged man in the white suit, Ma Guo, immediately greeted him, pretending to be enthusiastic.
Xia Ping also recognized Ma Guo. This was his father"s cousin. Although his family wasn"t very rich, they still had over ten million yuan in a.s.sets. They were many times richer than his family, and their house was considered a luxurious house.
Therefore, Ma Guo had always looked down on Xia Chuanliu and often bragged about how rich he was. He also bragged about how capable his son was and how excellent his grades in school. Xia Ping was nothing compared to him.
From time to time, this fellow would strike a blow at Xia Chuanliu at the gathering of relatives. It was obvious how aggrieved Xia Chuanliu was. After all, he was indeed inferior to him and there was nothing he could do.
But today was different.
"Indeed, it"s been a long time. "I wonder where you got rich, cousin." Xia Chuanliu asked with a smile.
Ma Guo waved his hands and looked embarra.s.sed. "No, no, no. How can I get rich? It"s just a small business. How can it compare to you, cousin? You"re already living in the Jiangnan District. Amazing. "This villa is very expensive."
He carefully sized up the surrounding decorations. Every piece of furniture exuded elegance and luxury. Every decoration only revealed one word: rich!
"Not much, just one billion." Xia Chuanliu waved his hand and pretended that it was not a big deal.
What?! One billion?!
The surrounding people drew in a cold breath. Although they knew that the villas in Jiangnan District were very expensive and that those who could live in this place were either rich or n.o.ble, they did not expect that just one house was worth one billion federal coins.
Just the money in this house was a number that they would never be able to reach.
"My cousin is really rich now. He can even afford a villa worth one billion federal coin." Ma Guo"s face was full of envy and jealousy. It was as if seasonings had been knocked out of his heart. He had mixed feelings.
There was a time when this guy could only be scolded by him. He was like a quail, and he was just a small character. He didn"t expect that in just a year, he would make a comeback and become so impressive. He couldn"t compare at all.
"Of course, of course." Money is just a material possession. "You can"t bring it with you when you"re born, but you can"t bring it with you when you"re dead." Xia Chuanliu had a modest look on his face. "By the way, I remember that your son and my son are the same age." "I wonder what university he got into."
"It"s not a good university either." It can"t be compared to your son. "It"s completely incomparable." Ma Guo"s face turned green. Why didn"t he know what this b.a.s.t.a.r.d meant when he said that? He was obviously trying to compare his son with him.
After all, this son of a b*tch had been admitted to Yan Huang University. and his son only a small fray, they could not becompared.
"Tell me, there"s nothing to be embarra.s.sed about, right?" "There"s nothing you can"t tell others." Xia Chuanliu had an evil look on his face.
Ma Guo was forced to say, "He got into Plum Blossom University."
Plum Blossom University? Isn"t that a third-rate school? "Don"t you know where the school"s address is?" Xia Chuanliu widened his eyes and said in surprise, "That"s strange." Isn"t your son one of the top students in the school? He usually ranks in the top ten, but now he failed. "Is it because you guys are giving him too much pressure?"
Hearing this, Ma Guo wanted to dig a hole and hide in it. He was so embarra.s.sed that he didn"t know what to say. This b.a.s.t.a.r.d had touched a sore spot. He was clearly slapping his face.
"Aiya, I"m sorry, cousin. I brought up your sad past, but don"t worry. It"s not like you have no future at a third-tier university. Who cares what school you graduate from? "You rely on your ability."
Xia Chuanliu comforted them. "But then again, if you don"t do well in the future, feel free to look for my son and work for him." Let"s not talk about how much money you have. I won"t starve you."
ash***!
Ma Guo"s face turned green. His lungs were about to explode from anger. How could he speak like that? Did he not give him any face? He even asked his son to work for this b.a.s.t.a.r.d"s son. to think that this b.a.s.t.a.r.d could think of such a thing. He was too despicable.
It was just a moment of pride. What was so great about it? Sooner or later, you b.a.s.t.a.r.ds will suffer. He gritted his teeth but did not dare to say anything.
Now he wasn"t as powerful as he"d been. The man had risen to the top and become the bureau chief. He had a wide circle of friends. Even the mayor had called to celebrate. Living in a house worth a billion dollars wasn"t something he could afford to offend.
The corners of Xia Ping"s mouth twitched. His father must have slapped him so hard that his face was swollen. He wouldn"t be able to recover in a few years.
"Aiya, isn"t this Uncle Li?" "Welcome, welcome."
"I didn"t expect Auntie Huang to come too. "Your presence brings light to my humble dwelling."
"Everyone, don"t stand on ceremony." Just eat whatever you want. "I don"t have much, but I have a lot of money right now."
"If you need anything, just let me know." I"ll get someone to do it immediately. "Money can solve problems."
"Everyone, you must drink to your heart"s content today and eat your fill." "There"s everything here."
Xia Chuanliu stepped forward and greeted the guests one by one. His smug expression was evident.
One by one, the guests were furious. This wasn"t a petty person achieving success, what was a petty person achieving success? However, they could only hold it in, pretending to be hypocritical, smiling at each other.
"Eh? Son, you"re back."
After sending a bunch of guests in, Xia Chuanliu finally discovered Xia Ping and exclaimed in surprise.
"I was standing here just now."
Xia Ping was speechless. His father"s presence was too strong just now, so no one around him noticed him.
"Go in, go in." "Today is a banquet for you." Xia Chuanliu pulled Xia Ping in.
