Yao Chen immediately jumped up: "Ah, Chu Zhiye, you broke the Imperial Fragrance Collection, you have to pay for it."
The other three were also pointing at him.
So that's what they were waiting for me here, Chu Zhi thought to himself.
Needless to say, these people deliberately set a trap for him.
Chu Zhiye asked casually, "How much?"
"It will cost at least two million."
"Can you make it less?"
"Do you think this is a vegetable market? Haggling like this?" Yao Chen took a deep breath. "So, how much are you planning to pay?"
“Thirty,” Chu Zhi also gestured.
"Three hundred thousand? No way."
I meant thirty yuan.
Upon hearing this, Yao Chen immediately jumped up and down, shouting, "Chu Zhiye, are you even human? You think you can just spend thirty yuan on a three-million-yuan tea set?"
"No, you're not leaving this room today unless you pay me."
The teahouse was still full of customers, all casting curious glances their way.
Just then, a man walked over. He was wearing a suit, and his eyes were like two cold stars, making people feel oppressed.
Upon seeing the man approach, Yao Chen, who had been shouting loudly, immediately lowered his voice: "Brother, hehe, you're here. Someone broke your tea set and doesn't want to pay for it. I'm here to get justice for your tea set."
The visitor was Yao Chen's older brother, Yao Yuan, who is also the only successor to the Yao Group.
Upon seeing Yao Yuan's arrival, Peng Lingbo, Hou Rui, and Xu Mingcheng's momentum was dampened.
Yao Yuan remained silent, staring at the broken teacup, the composed Chu Zhiye, and his timid younger brother...
Snap!
Yao Chen covered his face, surprised: "Brother, why did you hit me?"
Snap!
"elder brother... ..."
Snap!
"Brother, I was wrong."
Snap!
“Your Imperial Fragrance Collection wasn’t broken; it’s a fake.”
Snap! Snap! Snap... ...
... ...
Five minutes later, Peng Lingbo, Hou Rui, and Xu Mingcheng sat in a row with their hands on their knees, looking like well-behaved children.
The three were shocked and even rubbed their eyes.
Good heavens, they seem to have seen a ghost.
Yao Yuan is undoubtedly the boss in their circle. He has already started handling company affairs and working with the elders.
Yao Yuan is an idol in the hearts of these people.
At this moment, Yao Yuan, who was usually meticulous, actually smiled and chatted and laughed with Chu Zhi.
The most surprised person was Yao Chen. Even though his face was swollen like a pig's head, he still couldn't hide his astonishment.
As the younger brother, he knew his older brother best. He was arrogant and always had a haughty attitude towards everyone, with a condescending air about him.
But at this moment, his brother treated Chu Zhiye as an equal, a genuine attitude of regarding Chu Zhiye as an equal.
Yao Chen covered his face.
He knew he had taken the beating for nothing.
I feel so sad, I want to cry...
Yao Yuan took out the genuine Imperial Tianxiang Collection tea to brew for Chu Zhiye, saying, "Zhiye, it's been a long time. How long have you been back in the country? You didn't even tell your old classmate so we could get together."
"I haven't been back for long." Chu Zhi also took a sip of tea.
He couldn't discern anything special about the tea brewed with those multi-million dollar teaware.
"Are you going abroad again?"
Chu Zhi also shook his head: "My studies are over, and I'll stay in China from now on."
"Impressive." Yao Yuan couldn't help but exclaim, "Back then, you skipped a grade and went straight to senior year, making you four years younger than us. When the college entrance exam was over, we were still traveling around in China, while you went to study at Columbia University."
Chu Zhi also skipped grades to go to high school, skipping to the senior year. After the college entrance examination, he chose to study abroad.
He studied abroad for four years. In fact, he was confident that he could have completed his studies in two years, but he stayed at school for a longer period of time, thus completing the four years of study.
"What have you been doing since you returned to China?" Yao Yuan asked.
Chu Zhiye replied, "I was just messing around at my dad's company."
"You're being too modest," Yao Yuan said with a smile. "Given Uncle Chu's free-spirited personality, he specifically entrusted the company to you. Uncle Chu's investment company is a complex web, involving a lot of funds, various investment projects, and investors."
"To summarize it with just the words 'doing it blindly' is far too modest."
Chu Zhiye: "Precisely because it's complicated, I can only do things blindly."
The two chatted while drinking tea.
After chatting for a while, Yao Yuan turned his attention to his younger brother and the other three people.
The four of them noticed the sharp gazes and instantly tensed up, like lambs to the slaughter.
"Zhiye, how did you get to know them?"
"It was a coincidence." Chu Zhi smiled.
"Then why did they...?"
"Just kidding."
"Yes, just kidding." Yao Chen nodded quickly. "Brother Chu and I were just joking, hehe..."
Yao Yuan's face darkened: "You think it's funny to joke about millions?"
Yao Chen's smile froze on his face.
Yao Yuan could sense that there was some kind of conflict between the two sides, but Chu Zhi didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any further.
The two chatted for over an hour, agreed to have a meal together sometime, and then Chu Zhiye took his leave.
He turned to leave, then looked back at Xu Mingcheng and said, "I'm going back now. Are you coming back too?"
"Go back!" Xu Mingcheng immediately jumped up.
At this moment, he couldn't wait to leave this place.
Yao Chen, Peng Lingbo, and Hou Rui watched Xu Mingcheng leave with envy.
Yao Yuan slowly withdrew his gaze and said unhurriedly, "Tell me, what exactly happened between you two?"
Yao Chen, trying to ingratiate himself, recounted the whole story: what happened at the bar that night, how he happened to run into Chu Zhiye tonight, and how he wanted to teach Chu Zhiye a lesson. He didn't hide anything and told the whole story without reservation.
Upon hearing this, Yao Yuan's eyes flickered: "Zhiye, Xu Man's boyfriend?"
"Interesting, really interesting."
Seeing that his brother's attitude had softened, Yao Chen stepped forward and asked, "Brother, who is Chu Zhi?"
Peng Lingbo and Hou Rui pricked up their ears.
