Chapter 14 He is willing to do anything. After all, it is an eight-digit number...
Ye Man held the box tightly.
A long time ago, when he was calculating how to break a pack of instant noodles into six portions, an idea occurred to him that if someone was willing to buy him a box of instant noodles, he would do whatever the other person asked him to do.
Not to mention that Xu Huaiting is now giving you an eight-digit gem.
Even if he asked him to change his surname to Xu instead of Chi, Ye Man thought that he probably would not hesitate at all.
Sensing his thoughts, the system was very disappointed: "How can you, a vicious cannon fodder, bend over for a mere eight-digit gem!"
This is too pathetic! Who would be such a vicious cannon fodder and give up their careers and turn over a new leaf just for a little money?
"But, Brother Tong, that's an eight-digit number!" Ye Man still widened his eyes in shock, his voice trembling.
"What a waste! The money I promised to give you is much more than this. And even if I give you hundreds of millions now, it will be useless. When your story ends and you are offline, all your money and property will be taken back."
Unless Ye Man spends all the money he has earned now.
The Chi family will definitely not be able to recover all the money he spent by then.
But if he really did that, wouldn't it be more clear that he was a spendthrift with bad behavior? Wouldn't that highlight Chi Jue's excellence? Wouldn't the Chi family like Chi Jue more and dislike him?
The system also advised him to give up the idea of selling the gem for money.
"This royal blue piece should be the one that Xu Ziyi bought in a high-profile manner a few days ago. It even made the news at the time. I don't know if anyone dares to take it over. If you sell it in the morning, Xu Huaiting will know about it by noon."
It is too bad to sell the gifts given by others. Your ancestors will definitely be angry.
Knowing that he couldn't make money from selling it, Ye Man was a little disappointed, but not too disappointed.
Although this gem cannot be converted into cash, it is one of the few gifts he has received since he grew up.
Today is his birthday.
He got a birthday present too!
Ye Man carefully put the small box into his pocket.
There were two knocks on the door.
"Sir, Mr. Chi and his team have arrived."
Someone from Ye Man's family came to pick him up.
The most serious fracture problem was dealt with immediately and the plaster was applied. The remaining injuries were at most bruises from collisions and abrasions from falls. When Ye Manquan returned to the Chi family, someone would naturally take care of them. There was no need for Xu Huaiting to worry about him over such a small matter.
Xu Huaiting casually scanned the area where his eyes were filled with abdominal pain. He couldn't tell what was wrong through his clothes, but he was sure it was not acute appendicitis or something like that, which was an illness that needed to be treated immediately.
"You will know what to say and what not to say later."
After saying this half as a reminder and half as a threat, Xu Huaiting looked at his watch and prepared to leave.
He was confident that he could control Ye Man and make him listen to him.
It's not that you think you can buy Ye Man completely by just giving him a stone. The fifty-carat royal blue is certainly worth a lot, but the Chi family can't afford it. The symbolic deterrence of this thing is greater than its actual significance. Even if Ye Man regrets it later, or has other small thoughts and is disobedient, he still has to consider whether he can afford to offend Xu Huaiting.
After taking two steps and before reaching the door, Xu Huaiting suddenly stopped and turned to look at the person following him.
Hearing that he was leaving, Ye Man happily sat up from the sofa, quickly grabbed the blind stick beside her, and followed him silently, like a clinging little tail.
At this time, Xu Huaiting stopped, and Ye Man also stopped, looking up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
Xu Huaiting didn't say anything, but Ye Man knew he was looking at him. He tried to guess what he was thinking and instantly became alert.
He wouldn't have realized that he had been tricked by him and had become a big jerk, and now he has come to his senses and regretted it, and wanted to take the Royal Blue back, right?
From Ye Man's perspective, Xu Huaiting was so frightened by the big cake he drew that he lost his mind and even took out such a valuable thing and gave it to him!
Without thinking, he pretended to be pitiful again, raised his beautiful face, and drooped his eyes wetly. He looked like a wet puppy, and begged in a soft and trembling voice: "Mr. Xu, for this piece of Royal Blue, I'm willing to do anything. Please don't take it back, okay?"
With his hands tightly covering the eight-digit pocket containing his treasure, Xu Huaiting seemed like a bully who was trying to steal someone's things.
If he hadn't done this again, Xu Huaiting almost forgot about the old incident in the toilet where he had splashed dirty water on him.
He stared at the person in front of him for a few seconds, and said slowly and lazily, "I never ask for anything back that I give away. What I give to you is yours."
Ye Man immediately became happy.
But the next second, Xu Huaiting said, "I'm waiting for your gift of apology for what happened in the toilet before."
Ye Man's spirit, which had just been lifted, instantly wilted.
How come he still remembers this?
......
When I walked out of the room, Chi's father and mother, as well as Chi Yan and Chi Jue were waiting anxiously at the door.
As soon as Ye Man came out, he was surrounded by the Chi family.
Although Chi Jue had briefly explained the situation to them before, when they really saw Ye Man appear in front of them, the whole family couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Chi Yan's face was very dark, and he stared at Ye Man with a stern expression. Even though Ye Man couldn't see it, he could feel the suppressed anger in Chi Yan.
Thinking of how his elder brother had warned him a long time ago to call him immediately if anything happened, yet he ended up in such a state without saying a word, Ye Man lowered his head in guilt for a moment.
Chi Yan tugged at his tie in annoyance and said in a low voice, "When you get home, come to my study to find me."
Ye Man stammered, not daring to speak, and quietly pulled the sleeve of the person closest to her.
Chi Jue turned away silently.
Other things are easy to deal with, but this... maybe he will be scolded together, so I can only wish for the best.
Chi's father and mother were greeting Xu Huaiting. Xu Huaiting had other things to do, but he still maintained basic courtesy. After a few simple words, he left first. However, Doctor Zhao stayed to give a few medical instructions.
Since many guests were invited to today's birthday party, not all of the Chi family members could leave. As the protagonists of the party, Chi Jue and Ye Man, at least one had to stay. And Chi Yan, as the current mainstay of the Chi family and the center of the social circle, naturally had to stay for the socializing. In the end, the family decided that Qin Fangrui would accompany Ye Man home first, and the three of them, father and son, would stay for the socializing.
The banquet lasted until late at night, and the father and son of the Chi family returned home somewhat tired.
When Qin Fangrui came down from the building, she moved very quietly, "Xiaoman has fallen asleep."
Chi Yan was originally planning to talk to Ye Man. After all, he always came back with injuries every time he went out, and this time it was so serious that he broke his hand. This couldn't go on.
Hearing this, I had no choice but to put it aside for the time being.
He turned to Chi Jue and said, "Go back and pack up first. When you are done, come to the study to find me."
......
study.
Chi Jue knocked on the door: "Brother, it's me."
"Come in."
When Chi Jue came in, Chi Yan had changed out of her suit and was wearing a grey home suit. She was wearing a pair of glasses and browsing the computer. Chi Jue glanced at the documents spread out on the table. Unexpectedly, they were not related to the company's latest projects, but some doctors' information and some cases handled.
They are all top ophthalmologists at home and abroad.
Seeing Chi Jue coming in, Chi Yan pinched her nose, took off her glasses, and leaned back: "What happened today? Why did Xiao Man leave you? Aren't you two together?"
Chi Yan's voice was cold and sounded like he was talking to his subordinates.
Chi Jue has gotten used to it. Chi Yan was like this when she was a few years old. Not to mention Chi Jue, Chi's father would sometimes scold Chi Yan like his grandson when he saw him. Who can really handle everything in an orderly manner?
I still remember when Chi Yan first joined the company, the old guys on the board of directors had a lot of complaints about him. Chi Yan's frequent drastic reforms caused a lot of doubts and dissatisfaction, but time and facts have proved that Chi Yan will not make mistakes. His sharp vision and accurate decision-making are not comparable to ordinary people. Chi Yan hit a wall in the company, and the Chi family was happily waiting to see the old guy slap his face.
Chi Jue recounted what happened today and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, brother. I...Meng Yao came to see me, so I left for a while. Later, I checked the surveillance footage and found that Xiao Man...followed me out."
