Renowned economist Ma Yunfei is reborn to the year 1990. To his surprise, he finds himself with a beautiful wife and an obedient daughter. He vows to become the world's richest man and create a...
Xia Jiufa said happily, "Xiao Ma, it's good that you're married. Judging from your appearance, you're not young anymore, are you?"
"Mr. Xia, I am twenty-eight years old this year, which is indeed not young anymore."
"Xiao Ma, now that you're married and have a wife, you need to be more careful when you're with other women. You can't afford to be unfaithful."
Ma Yunfei immediately understood that Xia Jiufa was warning him not to get involved with his daughter.
"Mr. Xia, I have always believed that a man should be chaste and not be promiscuous. This is my bottom line as a person."
Xia Jiufa suddenly felt a little embarrassed after hearing Ma Yunfei's words.
He lost his wife in middle age and lived alone with his daughter Xia Tian.
To avoid upsetting his daughter, Xia Jiufa never remarried. However, he wasn't lonely over the years, having had several lovers outside the marriage.
The day before yesterday, Old Wang from the company's gatehouse told him that a woman named Xiaoxia had called him, and that Xiaoxia was Xia Jiufa's mistress.
"Okay, that's good. Xiao Ma, now that you have a bottom line, I'm relieved. To be honest, my daughter Xia Tian is a pure girl who has never been in a relationship and is easily fooled by men. When you deal with her, you should talk to her more and make her more vigilant so that she won't be deceived by bad men."
Ma Yunfei finally understood that Xia Jiufa had come to say these words to warn him not to make a move on his daughter Xia Tian.
"Mr. Xia, in my heart, Xia Tian is like a younger sister to me. I will remind her and I will not allow bad men to deceive her, so please rest assured."
"Don't worry, of course I'm at ease. With you as my brother, I'm even more at ease. Xiao Ma, she's my only daughter, the apple of my eye. If any man dares to bully her, I won't let him get away with it."
Xia Jiufa was openly threatening Ma Yunfei. His subtext was: If you try to take advantage of my daughter, I will kill you!
Ma Yunfei is not a womanizer; his bottom line as a person is inviolable.
"President Xia, please believe me."
"Hehe... Xiao Ma, from now on, deliver your yams to my company. The price will definitely be fair."
"no problem."
Xia Jiufa returned to his office and said excitedly, "Girl, I asked around, and Xiao Ma is already married and has a three-year-old daughter. He also told me that his wife is very beautiful, not just ordinary beautiful, and that she is ten years younger than him, only eighteen years old this year."
Xia Jiufa fabricated this whole lie in an attempt to make his daughter give up on him.
What he meant was: Ma Yunfei's wife is young and beautiful, and he wouldn't be interested in other girls.
Xia Jiufa noticed that his daughter looked somewhat dejected and understood what was going on.
It seems that the daughter truly fell in love with Ma Yunfei at first sight.
Xia Jiufa added fuel to the fire, saying, "Xiao Ma also said that his wife is a shrew. On their wedding night, she took a pair of sharp scissors and threatened him: 'If you dare to find other women outside, I will cut off your thing.'"
Xia Tian exclaimed in alarm, "Brother Ma's wife is that powerful?!"
"Hehe... Women in the countryside are really something. I heard that a woman discovered her husband was having an affair, so she cooked a good meal, bought two bottles of wine, got her husband drunk, and then strangled him to death with a rope."
"ah!"
Summer let out a startled cry.
Summer's office phone rang, and she quickly returned to her office to answer it.
The call was from Cui Tianyang, who said smugly, "Xia Tian, I have some good news for you. I just asked my uncle, and he immediately called one of his acquaintances. That acquaintance said that Zhang Yishan might be sentenced to prison."
"Old Chui, can your uncle get Zhang Yishan out of trouble?"
“In the summer, I told my uncle: Zhang Yishan is my girlfriend’s relative. You have to help me with this, otherwise my girlfriend will break up with me.”
Clearly, Cui Tianyang meant: I can help you with this, but you have to be my girlfriend first.
"Old Chui, no matter what, let your uncle release my relative first."
"By summer, our relationship should be clear, right? My uncle will only help if you're my girlfriend."
Summer said bluntly, "Old Chui, if you're making this a prerequisite, then there's no point in talking about it."
Summer slammed down the phone.
Ma Yunfei said disappointedly, "It's over! It seems that this old braggart is no good. He thinks he can get a girlfriend by doing a small favor. He's just daydreaming."
"Brother Ma, don't worry, I believe Lao Chui will call me soon."
Summer had barely finished speaking when the phone rang again.
The other party was indeed Cui Tianyang.
"Summer, I...I haven't finished speaking yet. How about this, let's pretend we're boyfriend and girlfriend and visit my uncle's house together, so that my uncle can step in and help us out."
"Old Chui, let me make this clear from the start: we're just classmates, not boyfriend and girlfriend. If you're willing to help, then help; if not, then forget it."
"Summer, why are you so angry? I didn't say I wouldn't help. After all, we're old classmates, so we should help each other out. How about this, tonight, let's go to my uncle's house together."
"Sure, Lao Chui, do you need me to buy your uncle some gifts?"
"Hehe... Buying a fruit basket is enough as a token. After all, he's my uncle, not an outsider."
“Okay, let’s meet at the entrance of your uncle’s apartment complex.”
Cui Tianyang told Xia Tian his uncle's address.
It was already 5 p.m.
Summer hung up the phone and said happily, "It's going to work out."
"Tianmei, it's hard to say. This old braggart may have made another big boast."
"Tonight, we'll go to his uncle's house and then we'll know the truth."
Xia Jiufa ran over and invited, "Xiao Ma, I'll treat you to dinner tonight. There's a private kitchen restaurant nearby, and I'll treat you to some of A City's specialties."
"President Xia, let me treat you to dinner. I came all this way to ask Tianmei for help. I apologize for bothering you."
"Haha... Xiao Ma, you didn't have any cash on you, so you borrowed 10,000 yuan from my daughter. Let me treat you to a meal. After you finish this meal, you have to be grateful to me. From now on, you can send all your yams to me."
Ma Yunfei neither confirmed nor denied the claim.
If the young widow's uncle, Zhang Yishan, is released from detention, he will still have to do business with him in the future.
It seems that Ma Yunfei will have to take care of both sides in the future. If he sends two truckloads of yams, he should sell one to Zhang Yishan and the other to President Xia.
Ma Yunfei sighed, thinking to himself: It's hard to be a person!
During dinner, Xia Jiufa kept asking Ma Yunfei, "How much do you pay for the yams?"
Ma Yunfei naturally wouldn't tell the truth, so he lied and said, "I buy yams at 80 cents a pound and transport them to City A. After deducting transportation costs, I hardly make any money."
