As the saying goes, those involved are often confused, while bystanders see things clearly.
The moment Cai Mingli walked in, Master Cai couldn't help but praise him, saying he was a good young man.
When people get old, like Grandpa Er and Grandpa Dong, they always prefer blood relatives. If they are the ones who receive kneeling, being embraced, and being supported and cared for, they will think that the young man is very good and filial.
But Cai Mingli had mistaken the person for someone else, and there must have been something wrong with his upbringing. Otherwise, how could he have secretly hit an old man with his backpack? At this moment, Master Cai was already furious.
Unfortunately, because it was a street full of busy shops, Cai Mingli went a bit too far. He pulled out a chair for Master Huang, and in order to make room for him, he threw his own chair aside and squeezed it next to Master Hong, forcing the waiter to move his chair.
However, Cai Mingli was certainly polite on the surface and spoke very eloquently.
He shook hands with Nie Zhao and Chen Rou, and said with a smile, "Thank you, Mr. Nie. Thank you for making my return to China possible. You probably didn't expect that I would run into my uncle here. Thank you for giving us the opportunity to reunite as family."
Nie Zhao always felt that his two nephews, with their limited intelligence, probably couldn't have come up with such a scheme.
He sat in the main seat and looked at the two brothers sitting at the end. Well, at least the brothers were honest, because both of them glanced at Chen Rou at the same time. Nie Zhao understood that it was his wife's idea and plan.
Today, Nie Han and Ms. Cai will not be dining together because the first authentic French restaurant in mainland China on the fourth floor has just been renovated and is currently in its trial operation phase. Mrs. Dai, along with a chef from Hong Kong, is tasting the dishes and has invited the two of them to dine there.
Cai Mingli was going to act, so Nie Zhao would act along with him. He put on a poker face and smiled, looking surprised: "Oh?"
He added, "These are all kung fu masters. I never expected that Mr. Cai comes from such a distinguished family."
Tsai Ming-li feigned a sigh: "It's a pity that my parents are in poor health, which makes me want my soul to return home, but I haven't been able to do so yet."
As everyone ages, it's natural for the younger brother to worry if his older brother is truly ill.
Master Huang probably knew Master Cai was worried about him, so he asked, "What illness does your father have? Is it serious?"
Cai Mingli was also quite cunning. He laid the groundwork first, but he couldn't curse his father, so he said, "It's not that serious, but as you know, Uncle, medical expenses in the United States are very high, which is a considerable burden."
Even Mr. Cai sighed when he said that.
But Nie Jiajun smiled and said, "It's good that you've joined Nie's Group. You don't have to worry about your salary, and our legal team will provide you with the best medical plan. Medical care in Hong Kong is no worse than in the United States."
Master Cai then realized that his nephew had been hired by the Nie family, and asked, "What about your salary? How much is it per year?"
This old man is more annoying than the others. Who asks about someone's salary at the dinner table?
Cai Mingli said, "Uncle-Master, in the West, a man's salary is kept secret, just like a woman's age."
Just then, the waiter was pouring drinks; martial arts practitioners love to drink from small cups.
What's more, the waiter opened two bottles in quick succession, both with sunflowers printed on them, the older generation of Feitian Moutai.
What is not widely known is that thirty years ago, Moutai would always appear in newspapers alongside news of state banquets, because it belonged to a certain period, was the wine used at state banquets by a generation of leaders, and it was a rare, out-of-print product. The reason Nie Zhao had it was because trade between the mainland and Hong Kong had not yet stopped at that time, and it was supplied from the mainland.
Boss Nie treated them to such high-class wine that Master Huang not only wanted to have a couple of drinks, but also wanted to drink to his heart's content. However, he ended up becoming the victim of a mistake, because Cai Mingli slammed his wine glass down and said, "Uncle, this wine is not healthy, let's not drink it."
Master Huang looked at Master Cai and was so anxious that he let out a soft, girlish moan.
Originally, Master Cai also wanted to keep quiet and not say much when Boss Nie was treating him to a meal.
But Mr. Cai told that lie in order to gain sympathy. He thought that his elder brother was indeed sick and would not live much longer. In fact, he was thinking of his elder brother. After all, brothers are meant to help the poor and help those in urgent need.
However, he couldn't reveal his identity directly, so he said, "Since your father is seriously ill, just come back. The Cai family may not have much else, but they still have a few houses. Living in Shenzhen and going to Hong Kong for treatment will save them a lot of money."
Cai Mingli didn't hesitate to curse his father, all for the sake of the property. He knew that his uncle would definitely agree, since they were family.
However, he and Master Cai were destined to fall out; it was only a matter of time, depending on their perceptions.
Seeing that Master Huang was nodding, he thought he had already won over this uncle. Of course, he would proceed step by step and then tell him his own ideas. He said, "I heard from my father that the whole street belongs to our family. Since my father is coming back to live here, we can learn from the Westerners and rent out the extra rooms."
Master Cai also had to say about this: "Half of the people on that street are from the same clan."
Cai Mingli grasped Master Huang's hand: "I've heard that you suffered persecution because of my parents' departure, and had no choice but to bow down to the government and give up your property to ensure your safety. But Uncle, we can sue the government."
He could have cast the line later, but because Master Huang was so cooperative, he cast it early.
However, he revealed his true purpose too early, which made Master Cai unable to bear it any longer.
He said, “Your parents’ departure had such a huge impact on our clan. So many children were admitted to the Workers’ Peasants’ and Soldiers’ University and were selected to join the army, but they were sent back because of their files. Those houses were compensation.”
Cai Mingli shrugged: "But the government is at fault, and we're suing the government, right, Uncle?"
