Chapter 581 Is this right?
Is this still Chinese?
And those people behind him who had originally felt a little embarrassed because of Boss Yang’s huge red envelope of “30 yuan”, were shocked and relieved when they heard about Shen Ci’s gift.
The reason is simple. When the gap between you and the other person is big enough, you don't need to feel inferior.
At least now, when facing Shen Ci's gift, Boss Yang is the same as them.
"Oh my god!" The old lady came to her senses and weighed the box in her hand, her teeth chattering with excitement. "Ah Ci, this, this is ten pounds of gold? Pure gold?"
"Yes, Auntie, this stuff can't be fake." Chen Ci said with a smile.
"Oh, this, this..." Even the old lady, a worldly person, felt that Shen Ci's generous gift was too hot to handle. She was at a loss whether to accept it or put it away.
Seeing this, Chen Ci quickly said, "This is for Xixi. I brought it here today just to share it with you. I opened a personal safe deposit box for Xixi in the bank using my sister-in-law's name. I will store this thing for Xixi later."
"Okay, okay, Xixi is blessed to have an aunt like you." The old lady nodded excitedly and then took the things.
When the daughter-in-law went to register, she didn't know what to write: "Mom, how do I register this? Just write ten kilograms of gold?"
The old lady glared and pointed out, "Doesn't that seem stingy? Write 5000 grams, that's more than 5000 grams!"
"Yes, yes, yes." The daughter-in-law nodded hurriedly. She glanced curiously at the pretty young girl and asked suspiciously, "Mom, who is this girl? Why is she so generous? Such a generous gift must be worth hundreds of dollars."
"This is Xizi's godsister. Why? Taozi didn't tell you?"
"No, I haven't heard him mention it."
Mother Yan smiled with a look of delight: "I was thinking of adopting her as my goddaughter, so that we can be closer relatives. During the time Xizi was in prison, your sister-in-law relied on her for support."
"Really..." The daughter-in-law smiled awkwardly and said nothing.
On the other side, Boss Yang pulled Shen Ci aside with an unhappy look on his face: “You girl, you, you, are you doing this right?”
Shen Ci smiled obediently: “Uncle Yang, don’t be angry, I am different from you.”
"What's the difference?"
Chen Ci explained with a smile: "Think about it, my sister-in-law was taken care of by me during the most difficult months of her late pregnancy, so my feelings for Xixi must be different."
"That's too much!" Boss Yang said, glaring and gesturing. "Ten kilograms of gold? Think about it yourself. Is that reasonable?"
Shen Ci laughed out loud at his expression.
"You're still laughing!" Boss Yang glared at him. "Now you've learned to steal your Uncle Yang's limelight, right? If you had told me earlier, I definitely wouldn't have accepted this gift in front of you."
Chen Ci smiled and looked at him silently for a long while, then asked, "I don't think Uncle Yang would get angry with me because of this little vanity. I think you are jealous, right?"
"Uh..." Boss Yang choked and opened his mouth.
Seeing this, Chen Ci laughed out loud: "You don't have to be jealous. You, go back and work hard with my aunt to have another baby. I promise to give the baby a big gift too. I will definitely not favor one over the other!"
"You little girl, you are so disrespectful, you dare to say anything now!"
Shen Ci stretched out his hand and pushed Uncle Yang inside, saying, "Anyway, I mean what I say. After all, if you really have a child in your old age, I will definitely give it to you!"
As the door of the banquet hall opened, the noisy voices rushed over. Chen Ci had guessed that today would be very lively, but she didn't expect it to be so lively.
Uncle Yang's voice followed with a sneer: "Humph, this is Xizi's sentence. Everyone knows that he will be released in five or six years, so many people have come forward to attack him again."
Chen Ci didn't care about it. It was human nature, there was no need to be serious about it.
As soon as the two showed up, many people came up to greet them. Chen Ci's experience in Longcheng over the past year had already made many people know her, so she would naturally not be treated poorly when she went to such occasions.
She handled the situation with ease, but this scene was seen by Yan Wentao who was not far away.
He was dressed in a suit, which was rare for him to look respectable. He held a glass of wine and looked straight at Shen Ci, who was chatting with his old friend Lu Jinzhao.
"Boss Yan, what are you looking at?"
Seeing this, the people nearby asked curiously.
Yan Wenxi gave his younger brother a sinecure in the company, so that he had the title of "Mr. Yan" which sounded good to others, but in fact he was just a salary collector. He held shares in Yan Wenxi's group and received a salary for free. As an older brother, he was willing to support him.
Yan Wentao raised his lips and chuckled, then raised his eyebrows at Shen Ci: "Um, do you know him?"
Hearing this, the man looked over and said at a glance: "Isn't that Miss Shen?"
"You really know him?" Yan Wentao was a little surprised.
Then someone beside him nodded and said, "I wouldn't say I know him, but I have seen him a few times on different occasions."
In Yan Wentao's eyes, Chen Ci was just a very beautiful college student in her twenties, and he never thought that she had any other identity.
Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised: "She has quite a wide network of contacts, I see many people take the initiative to greet her."
Shen Ci and Lu Jinzhao were discussing next year's cooperation project. After all, this year's "The Phoenix's Destiny" was a huge hit, and both Lu Jinzhao's company and Shen Ci, the largest investor, made a lot of money.
As they were chatting excitedly, Chen Ci clearly felt that a pair of eyes were staring at her from a certain position, so she subconsciously turned her head to look over and met Yan Wentao's unflinching gaze.
Seeing Shen Ci coming, he smiled and raised his glass to greet her.
Shen Ci naturally wouldn't give him a good look, so he rolled his eyes and turned his head away.
A tough guy like Yan Wentao would not get angry about such things, so he just drank the wine.
At this moment, his wife Lin Shuang suddenly came close to him. Seeing this, Yan Wentao frowned and said, "Why are you coming in here instead of registering the gift money at the door?"
"My sister-in-law came and told me that I didn't need to register and asked me to come in and rest for a while."
"Tsk." Yan Wentao smacked his lips in dissatisfaction. "Registration is the rule, why don't we have to register?"
Lin Shuang pulled the impatient Yan Wentao aside and said in a low voice, "They're all about the same. Boss Yang gave more, 30, and my eldest brother's sister brought a longevity lock for Xixi..."
Before Lin Shuang could finish, Yan Wentao said, "What's so special about that thing? It's only worth a few dollars at most."
Lin Shuang stretched out a hand and waved his five fingers in front of Yan Wentao.
Yan Wentao pushed it away and said, "Five dollars is five dollars, it's not that expensive. But this Boss Yang really treats my brother as a friend!"
Lin Shuang grabbed Yan Wentao's wrist tightly and said through gritted teeth, "Five kilograms!"
