Chapter 540: Slap in the face
In the living room of the Shen family, Zou Weijie was amused by the little naked guy in front of him.
Indeed, after listening to what the Shen family just said, in terms of personal ability, Zou Weijie really didn't dare to say that he could compare with that little guy. After all, being able to earn several million a year is really amazing for people of their age.
But that little bastard actually boasted that his family background was better than his, so he wouldn't believe a word of it.
Shen Xianglan didn't expect her boyfriend to suddenly say such a thing. She couldn't help but reach out and tug at his clothes, telling him not to talk nonsense in front of his parents, as that would affect the impression he made on them.
Both Mr. and Mrs. Shen saw their daughter's actions and couldn't help but frowned slightly.
They don't really care whether the guy their daughter finds has a good family background. It would be great if he has one, but they don't force it either. As long as the guy's personal ability is worthy of their daughter, it's enough. This is also the reason why Shen's father took the initiative to invite Dongzi to visit their home.
But they really hate people who are unstable and like to brag. In their eyes, Dongzi now shows such signs.
Shen Baoshan couldn't help but remind him: "Dongzi, you may not know that Uncle Zou is a leader."
"I know. Lanlan told me."
Dongzi actually didn't want to act so low-class, but today was his first time visiting the girl's parents, and it was obvious that Zou Weijie came here to disgust him. If he kept a low profile like before, how could he make the other party back down?
He had been low-key and didn't reveal his family background before, just to use his talent to pursue Shen Xianglan. To put it nicely, he was looking for true love. Of course, this was also because Shen Xianglan didn't ask him seriously. If she had asked him seriously, he wouldn't have deliberately concealed it.
Now, Shen Xianglan is his girlfriend and her heart is with him, so there is no need for her to keep a low profile.
Therefore, in order to slap Zou Weijie in the face and make him ashamed to stay here, Dongzi had to pretend even if it was a low-level move. He also took the opportunity to introduce himself. Anyway, he had already met the girl's parents, so this step was definitely inevitable.
Therefore, Dongzi said calmly: "Although my parents only run a supermarket, their social status is not necessarily bad, because the name of my supermarket is Yongjia Supermarket."
When these words were spoken, the four members of the Shen family and Zou Weijie were all shocked.
Yongjia Supermarket is the most powerful supermarket chain in China. Looking around the world, it cannot compare with world-class retail giants such as Walmart and Carrefour, but in mainland China, it is a unique behemoth, and even Walmart and Carrefour have to stand aside in front of it.
This is one of the largest private enterprises in my country, and its boss is worth tens of billions.
At this moment, every member of the Shen family's heartbeat quickened suddenly.
Dongzi used to earn several million a year, which was far beyond the reach of their family, but Shen's father had a certain status after all, and there were countless big bosses with a net worth of over 100 million who were respectful to him.
Therefore, Dongzi's income can only make the Shen family think that he is very capable. If he wants to shock the Shen family, that's still a little lacking.
But now it’s different. Dongzi not only earns millions a year, he is also a veritable second-generation rich. His family owns billions of wealth. Such a huge fortune would confuse anyone who hears about it.
The most shocked person was Shen Xianglan. As Dongzi's girlfriend, she didn't even know that her boyfriend had such a prominent family background.
After being shocked, Zou Weijie subconsciously questioned, "Does Yongjia Supermarket belong to you? Are you bragging?"
Dongzi sneered, "Do you think I would be so stupid as to brag like this in front of my uncle and aunt?"
Zou Weijie was speechless after hearing this. He actually didn't believe that Dongzi would be so stupid, so this thing was most likely true. Although the other party's background was beyond his expectations, he still said stubbornly: "Even if Yongjia Supermarket is yours, it only proves that your family is richer than mine. It doesn't mean that your family background is better than mine, right? In our country, being rich is not the most powerful thing, being an official is."
"Since I've said that my family background is stronger than yours, I'll naturally make you admit defeat with all your heart. I'm not afraid to tell you that my second uncle's name is Deng Yunheng. If you don't know him, I suggest you go back and ask your father. I believe he will definitely know my second uncle."
At this point, Dongzi looked at him and said meaningfully: "When the time comes, if you have the courage, tell your father about your hostility towards me. I believe something very interesting will happen."
Hearing this, no one else reacted much, because the name Deng Yunheng was unfamiliar to them.
But Father Shen's pupils suddenly shrank, and he asked in disbelief: "Dongzi, you mean he is...your second uncle?"
Dongzi smiled and nodded, "Yes, Uncle Shen, that's my second uncle."
Zou Weijie's legs instantly went weak when he heard that. He really didn't expect that this little bastard whom he looked down upon actually had such an impressive family background. He was far ahead of him in terms of wealth and power. It was ridiculous that he had been thinking of using force to teach the other party a lesson.
Fortunately, Shen Baoshan called and woke him up, so that he didn't dare to have any bad thoughts in that regard, otherwise the consequences would be very serious.
While feeling relieved, Zou Weijie was also a little angry. He asked with a sullen face, "Since you have such a good family background, why didn't you tell me earlier? Did you do it just to make fun of me?"
Dongzi sneered, "Zou Shao, stop flattering yourself. Do you think you are qualified to ask me to do this? Not everyone is like you, always talking about who my father is, afraid that others don't know what level your father is. You are already in your twenties, aren't you childish? I am dating Lanlan, and I won you over with my own ability without relying on my family background. Do you understand the gap between us now?"
Dongzi's words were like a knife, stabbing straight into Zou Weijie's heart, making him feel so painful that tears were about to come out.
The more Zou Weijie thought about it, the more desperate he felt, because he discovered that what the other party said was absolutely right. When the other party did not reveal his family background, Shen Xianglan would rather choose the other party with an "ordinary background" than him. This proved that in Shen Xianglan's eyes, he was inferior to the other party.
Now that the other party has revealed his prominent family background, the gap between the two sides is really huge.
Zou Weijie stood up with a pale face and said in a lost voice: "Uncle and aunt, I won't bother you anymore, goodbye!"
Although Father Shen's heart was in turmoil, he was still able to remain calm and responded, "Well, say hello to your father for me. Baoshan, you can see Xiao Zou off."
Zou Weijie responded, then waved his hand and said, "Brother Shan, you don't have to see me off. I can go by myself."
Shen Baoshan picked up the painting that Zou Weijie brought and handed it to him, saying, "Weijie, take this painting back with you!"
Zou Weijie took the painting and didn't dare to look at Dongzi. Instead, he lowered his head and left the Shen family. He looked as embarrassed as he could be.
Originally, Zou Weijie's purpose of coming to the Shen family today was to slap Dongzi in the face. However, not only did he fail to slap Dongzi in the face, but he was slapped in the face by Dongzi instead. This was something he could never have imagined before he came here.
However, now the four members of the Shen family don’t have the time to pay attention to him.
After Zou Weijie left, Shen Xianglan looked at her boyfriend sitting next to her with a complicated expression and said, "Dongzi, I always thought you came from an ordinary family. How could you have such a good family background and not tell me?"
Dongzi smiled and said, "Lanlan, you never asked me before. If you asked me, I would definitely not hide it from you. Besides, I never asked you before, and I don't know what your uncle and aunt do. I only found out today that your uncle works in the procuratorate!
Anyway, the reason we two can be together is because we like each other, and it has nothing to do with our family backgrounds. This is the relationship I want most, and I believe it is what you want most, too, isn’t it? "
Mother Shen said with a smile on her face: "Dongzi, what you said makes sense. Lovers will eventually marry. You two are a perfect match. Your family background is the icing on the cake for you."
Shen Baoshan sighed, "Lan Lan has a good vision. Compared with Lan Lan, my vision is too narrow. I thought Zou Weijie was good before, but I was really blind. He is the kind of person who only knows how to show off his family background. He is not even worthy of carrying Dong Zi's shoes."
Father Shen also praised her: "Dongzi, I heard from Lanlan that you have been pursuing her since she was a freshman in college. You have been pursuing her for several years. You are really dedicated. Moreover, you understand the principle of self-improvement at such a young age. You are a hundred times better than Zou Weijie and his ilk. My Lanlan's vision is really good."
Shen Xianglan felt really happy when she heard her parents and brother praising her boyfriend.
Regardless of whether you are a man or a woman, who doesn't want to find a partner that the whole family praises? Those who go against their parents for love don't want to do so, but the partner they find does not get the approval of their parents.
Next, the two sides exchanged some pleasantries before entering into the normal question-and-answer process.
Mother Shen asked, "Dongzi, how many people are there in your family?"
Dongzi smiled and replied, "I only have one biological sister, but our family is a super big family. My grandfather had seven children, five sons and two daughters. Except for the two aunts who are already married, my father and his five brothers have not yet clearly divided the family!"
After hearing this, the Shen family looked at each other in bewilderment. It was indeed rare in this era that even their grandson had started talking about marriage, but there was no clear division of the family property.
Mother Shen asked again: "Do your father's brothers have shares in your Yongjia Supermarket?"
Dongzi shook his head and said, "Not really. Although my father and my four uncles have not clearly divided the family business, this supermarket is unique to my family. As for my four uncles, my second and third uncles are both in politics, so they naturally won't get involved in business.
My fourth uncle and uncle Man also have their own businesses, which are not much worse than my supermarket."
"hiss……"
The four members of the Shen family took a breath of cold air when they heard this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
Originally, a Yongjia Supermarket was already an unimaginable behemoth for them, but it turned out that the businesses owned by Dongzi's fourth uncle and uncle Man were not much inferior to Yongjia Supermarket, not to mention the existence of his second uncle and third uncle.
This family is just too scary!!! At this moment, Shen's father and mother looked at Dongzi, the prospective son-in-law, and were extremely satisfied.
Shen Xianglan was also surprised and happy, she really never expected that her boyfriend who had been pestering her for several years actually had such a prominent family background. At this moment, a smile that was harder to suppress than AK appeared on the corner of her mouth, and the look in her eyes when she looked at her boyfriend was almost tearing.
She now felt as if she had picked up a very good painting, the work of a famous modern artist. But what she never expected was that this painting was a rare painting within a painting, which contained the work of an ancient master and was priceless.
It was so cool, so cool! Shen's mother smiled and said, "Dongzi, sit down and drink some tea first. I'll go cook some dishes."
Dongzi smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, auntie!"
“It’s not hard.”
As Shen's mother said this, she walked into the kitchen happily and started preparing today's lunch.
Father Shen told his son, "Baoshan, go and get some tea."
Dongzi heard this and said quickly: "Uncle, I heard from Lanlan that you like to drink tea, so I carefully selected a type of tea for you. I don't know if you like the taste. How about brewing some and trying it?"
Father Shen smiled and said, "That's thoughtful. What kind of tea is it?"
Dongzi took the box next to him and said as he opened it, "This tea is called Taiping Houkui. I heard that in 1955, it was rated as one of the top ten famous teas in my country. In 2004, it was even awarded the title of King of Green Tea. Whether the quality of this tea is worthy of this honor, only an expert like you can know."
Father Shen exclaimed, "Dongzi, you said this tea is Taiping Houkui?"
Dongzi nodded and said, "Yes, that's what the person who sold me the tea said. It should be correct."
Father Shen said with a little excitement: "This tea is amazing, Dongzi, you are really thoughtful, give me the tea, I will brew it myself."
Shen Baoshan looked bewildered and said, "This is the first time I've heard of the name Taiping Houkui. Is this tea rare?"
Shen Xianglan didn't know much about tea and only knew a few names of tea. It was the first time she heard of Taiping Houkui tea, but looking at her father's attitude, she knew that this tea must be special.
Father Shen took the tea from Dongzi and said excitedly, "Of course it's rare. You won't understand if I tell you it's complicated. Anyway, as long as you know that this tea sells for at least hundreds of thousands per kilogram, you will know how rare it is."
"How many hundreds of thousands of dollars does this tea cost per kilogram?"
Shen Baoshan was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes almost popped out.
Even though Shen Xianglan was mentally prepared, she was still shocked. After she came to her senses, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Only Zou Weijie wasn't here. If he was here, he would probably blush again."
Three minutes later.
"The appearance is flat and straight, majestic and strong, with two leaves embracing one bud, evenly spaced, with not many hairs, dark green and smooth, and some main veins are dark red; the soup is bright green; the aroma is fresh and refreshing, with a lasting orchid fragrance; the taste is fresh and mellow, with a sweet aftertaste, and a unique "monkey charm", the bottom of the leaves are tender, even and plump, in a flower, bright yellow-green."
Father Shen praised it highly: "It is indeed the best tea, Taiping Houkui, it really lives up to its reputation!"
Dongzi smiled and said, "As long as uncle is satisfied, if you like this tea, drink it. I will buy you more after you finish it."
Father Shen waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Don't buy it. Just drink this tea occasionally to taste it. It's too extravagant to drink it all the time."
Dongzi said, "Uncle, this is not a luxury, as long as you like to drink it, money is not a problem."
Father Shen explained with a smile: "It's not entirely a matter of money, but you can't drink good tea all the time. You should drink other teas on a regular basis and occasionally drink this Taiping Houkui tea to experience the taste of the best tea."
Dongzi suddenly realized, "I see. It's the same as food. No matter how delicious the food is, if you eat it every day, you will get tired of it soon. You have to eat it every once in a while to keep the best taste of this food."
Father Shen smiled and said, "That's the truth."
Shen Baoshan drank this top-quality tea that cost hundreds of thousands of yuan per kilogram, but he couldn't tell what was so good about it. He couldn't help but sigh, "I don't think this expensive tea is any better than those that cost tens of thousands of yuan per kilogram. It seems that I am really not suitable for tea tasting!"
Father Shen snorted, "You are just a cow chewing on a peony. From now on, when you drink tea, brew other teas. Don't brew my Taiping Houkui. It's such a waste."
Shen Baoshan said "Oh" with an innocent look on his face.
"puff!"
Shen Xianglan couldn't help but laugh out loud when she saw this.
