At six o'clock in the afternoon, Ye Xiao stepped into the Red Leaf Teahouse on time.
This is a commercial teahouse with simple decoration but a high-end charm. Most of the people who drink tea here come to discuss business. Ye Xiao has come here once with his parents before.
Soon Ye Xiao met the Zhao family at a window seat. Facing Ye Xiao was Zhao Fugui, who was wearing a suit of famous brands, a gold Rolex watch on his hand, and a cigar in his right hand, full of nouveau riche temperament.
Next to Zhao Fugui was a gorgeous middle-aged woman, Ye Xiao's ex-mother-in-law Hou Hongying, who was also full of famous brands. She looked around with contempt, and her expression was full of the pride of a noble lady.
As soon as Ye Xiao walked over, Hou Hongying scolded him: "Ye Xiao, you are so arrogant! You let our family sit here and wait for you. What? Do you still think you are the young master of the Ye family?"
"Although my Qiuping is divorced from you, we are still your elders after all! You have no manners at all. You deserve to be a little prison guard with no future."
At this time, Zhao Qiuping, who had her back to Ye Xiao, also glanced at Ye Xiao playfully, with indescribable disgust.
What happened at Shen Luoyan's birthday party made her hate Ye Xiao even more, and she had been hiding this from her parents. She didn't want her parents to know that Ye Xiao was now appreciated by Shen Qianyi.
Zhao Fugui just smoked by himself. He also agreed with Hou Hongying's words. In the past, because they needed the support of Ye Xiao's parents, their Zhao family was polite to Ye Xiao, but now that Ye Xiao's parents are bankrupt, there is naturally no need to pretend anymore.
Ye Xiao just smiled at Hou Hongying's words, as if he was saying, "You can talk, but I will lose if I listen to you."
He stretched out his hand and pulled out a chair and sat down, saying lightly: "Uncle Zhao, Aunt Hou, if you have anything to ask me, just tell me!"
Seeing that Ye Xiao sat down without their permission, Hou Hongying became more and more dissatisfied. What right did a poor rich kid have to be so casual in front of her family?
Zhao Fugui flicked the ash and said, "Xiao Ye, we asked you to come here today mainly to let our two families part ways amicably, and also to make some compensation to you." As he spoke, Zhao Fugui slapped two stacks of red banknotes on the table.
"Ye Xiao, your parents have helped my Zhao family in these years. This 200,000 yuan can be regarded as our Zhao family's compensation to you!"
"I know it's not easy for you now. You are earning a few thousand yuan in salary. With this money, you can also do some small business or something." Zhao Fugui spoke in a tone of almsgiver, as if he was sending away a beggar.
Ye Xiao glanced at the 200,000 on the table and couldn't help but feel a little funny. You know, his parents' investment in the Zhao family was tens of millions! I really don't know what his parents were thinking at the time. How could they not see such a shallow performance by the Zhao family?
Or maybe his parents were also confused by the authorities, and their gratitude to the Zhao family was too heavy, which led to a blind spot!
"No need, Uncle Zhao, I'm fine now. My parents' investment in the Zhao family is a repayment for your kindness back then! You don't have to feel that you owe me anything. Our two families are considered even."
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first!" Ye Xiao was ready to leave.
Ye Xiao's decisive refusal was something the three Zhao family members didn't expect. Because Zhao Qiuping was kicked out of the banquet that day and didn't see Shen Qianyi giving Ye Xiao 10 million, she just thought that Ye Xiao would definitely accept it, and she could also take this opportunity to humiliate Ye Xiao.
Hou Hongying could not help but scolded: "Stop right there, what? You still think the money is not enough! People are greedy and never give up."
Zhao Fugui's face also became gloomy. In his opinion, Ye Xiao's refusal was not accepted. It was very likely that he was still planning to let his family return the 10 million yuan that Ye Xiao's parents had invested before.
"Xiao Ye, don't rush to leave! Maybe you think our Zhao family is big now, but we also need money in many places. So Uncle Zhao will arrange a job for you. Don't be a useless prison guard. Just go to Qiu Ping to be a manager!"
Zhao Fugui decided to stabilize Ye Xiao first. If Ye Xiao was forced into a hurry, it would not be good to go to his company to make trouble. He now tried to hide the fact that his daughter was married from the outside world and wanted to marry his daughter back to a wealthy family. If Ye Xiao went to the company to make trouble, it would inevitably cause a very bad impact.
When Zhao Qiuping heard that Zhao Fugui was going to invite Ye Xiao to work in the company, she said sarcastically: "Dad, I think you should stop worrying about Ye Xiao's work. He is now a bodyguard for Song Qingxue?"
"He has a big leg like Song Qingxue., how can you still look down on a small company like ours. "
Hearing Zhao Qiuping's words, Hou Hongying instantly regained her spirits and immediately mocked him with a mixture of insults and robbery: "Not bad! Ye Xiao, you just divorced Qiuping and you're already looking for another woman."
"But I can understand that for someone like you who is poor and downtrodden with no education or skills, the fastest way to turn things around is to rely on women to get ahead, isn't it?"
Zhao Fugui rolled his eyes and pretended to be righteous and scolded his wife, "Hongying, how can you talk like that? Being a bodyguard is a serious job after all. "
He heaved a sigh of relief. He didn't care which woman's thick legs Ye Xiao hugged now, as long as this dog-skin plaster didn't stick to his house.
Ye Xiao was completely disappointed with the Zhao family today, but it was not too late to recognize their family now. He shook his head and prepared to leave.
At this time, Hou Hongying stood up suddenly, waved in one direction, and shouted enthusiastically: "Mr. Wu, here!"
The smile on Hou Hongying's face was as bright as a flower, completely different from her coldness to Ye Xiao just now.
Zhao Fugui also rushed forward like a fly seeing shit, stretched out his hand to a middle-aged man with a big belly, nodded and bowed: "Mr. Wu, we have been waiting for you for a long time, let's go to the Tianzihao private room now! "
The two people's attitudes were completely different from how they treated Ye Xiao.
It turned out that the reason why the Zhao family invited Ye Xiao to the Red Leaf Teahouse was just a casual event, and their main purpose was to invite Mr. Wu.
Mr. Wu stretched out his hand and shook it lightly with Zhao Fugui, and said arrogantly: "Why, do you have guests here?"
Zhao Fugui hurriedly explained: "It's not a guest, just a distant poor relative."
After that, he turned his head and said in an imperative tone: "Ye Xiao, this is Mr. Wu from Changhe Group, why don't you say hello to Mr. Wu quickly."
However, Ye Xiao was completely dismissive. If it weren't for the few people who happened to block his way out, Ye Xiao would have turned around and left.
Seeing that Ye Xiao was unmoved, Mr. Wu's face full of flesh suddenly became stern. He didn't expect that a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair would be so disrespectful to him. He said with a fake smile: "Brother Zhao, you are a junior with a big temper! "
Hou Hongying quickly scolded: "Ye Xiao, do you understand the rules? Do you think that Mr. Wu can meet anyone? Do you know that in Lingzhou, as long as Mr. Wu gives you a little help, you can save more than ten years of hard work. "
Ye Xiao said coldly: "I don't need anyone to help me. "
Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zhao Fugui's face turned pale with fear. He is now working on a big project and urgently needs to cooperate with Mr. Wu, but Ye Xiao's attitude is likely to cause the good impression he had left with Mr. Wu to be destroyed.
Zhao Fugui immediately became furious and shouted: "Ye Xiao, how can you talk like that?"
"Do you know that I gave you the opportunity to meet Mr. Wu, all for the sake of your parents, you'd better not be ungrateful. "
After that, he hurriedly apologized to Mr. Wu with a flattering smile: "Mr. Wu, you must not be so petty as to be mediocre. I just have a little friendship with his father. I will definitely stay away from such people in the future. "
Zhao Qiuping on the side also looked at Ye Xiao coldly. In her opinion, Ye Xiao was pretending to be so arrogant now. He had no ability at all, but he insisted on saying big words that were not in line with his status. Such a person really deserved to have his family fall into poverty.
