Chapter 228 New Year Gift
Bao Anquan swaggered in from the main gate, followed by two bodyguards. It was probably because Master Bao felt that since the elders of the Ye family were present, he felt embarrassed to come empty-handed.
The bodyguard was carrying a gift, a bag of rice, a bag of noodles, and a basket of small apples, which looked like some money-saving New Year's gifts from an unscrupulous company.
"Ye Zi, my aunt is here! I'm coming!"
Bao Anquan may have been resting for a few days on Taiping Mountain, so today he wore a purple satin irregular jacket on top and gray shiny leather pants and white leather shoes on the bottom.
He even had a few purple highlights in his hair, looking like a colorful peacock. If he carried a guitar, he could even perform on the street.
"Hey, Xiao Bao, you're here. Auntie missed you so much. Have you eaten? Auntie will heat up some food for you."
"Aunt, please don't bother. I came here after I had eaten."
Zhao Zhaodi accepted Bao Anquan's outfit well. Young people should dress more fancy. She stood up and welcomed him into the house and asked him to sit down.
Bao Anquan sat down on the sofa next to Zhao Zhaodi. Just when he was about to say a few words to Ye Lin, he looked up and found that the person who was sitting on the sofa just now was gone.
The sound came from behind.
"Old Bao, where did you get those apples? The skins are all wrinkled underneath. They must have been there for at least half a month. And the rice and flour are also old."
Ye Lin was squatting at the door of the living room, examining the things Bao Anquan had brought.
He was holding an apple by the handle. The apple was about the size of a seven or eight-year-old child's fist. The top was still acceptable, but the skin underneath was wrinkled and shrunk together. It didn't look fresh at all.
His suspicious gaze shifted from the fruit basket to the rice and flour next to it, which was of unknown age.
Ye Lin's intuition told him that the rice and flour were probably not fresh.
"Damn, how did you open it!"
Bao Anquan quickly jumped up from the sofa, rushed to the door of the living room, snatched the wilted apple from the other person's hand, and threw it back into the fruit basket without even looking at it.
Ye Lin leaned against the Roman column with his arms folded across his chest, looking at Bao Anquan with a playful look as he tried to hide the wilted apples under the fruit basket. As a result, the apples that turned up from the bottom were even wilter than the ones in his hand.
"Mr. Bao, where did you find this good stuff? I'm astonished that you thought of me and specially brought it down from Taiping Mountain."
Bao Anquan looked up and down, looking around, not knowing how to explain this pile of apples, each one older than the last. Finally, he decided to confess.
"Hey, Ye Zi, the company recently distributed New Year's goods, and there happened to be some left over. I didn't want to let others get a bargain, so I brought it to you."
"They were still fresh two days ago, but I didn't expect them to fall apart today. Seriously, I'm not kidding you, they were so fresh a few days ago that you could squeeze out juice."
Mr. Bao swore to the sky with two fingers, feeling very aggrieved.
He didn't expect Ye Lin to be so unkind as to actually look at things in front of guests! This person couldn't wait until he left before looking!
Ye Lin rolled his eyes at him.
"Is this all your company gives out to its employees? Anyone who works for you is really unlucky."
"Well, it's all because my dad has a limited budget, and the purchasing department can't do anything about it. They can come up with three good things."
"Did your family become the richest man by saving money?"
Ye Lin didn't expect that his words would come true.
This pile of stuff is really the New Year's goods of an unscrupulous company, which will help the chairman save a lot of money.
Zhao Zhaodi didn't mind. When visiting relatives in Xiahe Village during the New Year, no one was willing to bring gifts. After so many years, apples that were wilted were still in short supply.
Come to rescue Bao Anquan who is dead in society,
"Xiao Bao, it's enough that you're thoughtful. Don't find fault with me. You don't understand. This apple is more delicious when it's old. It's more flavorful!"
"You two go back and sit down. I'll go to the kitchen to wash up. The tap water is good and I'll be done in a short while."
After urging Ye Lin and Xiao Bao to go back and sit down, Zhao Zhaodi picked up the fruit basket and went to the kitchen to wash the apples.
After teasing Bao Anquan a few more times, Ye Lin asked him what he was doing here today.
When it comes to business, Bao Anquan stamps his feet vigorously.
"Yes, yes, I forgot what I was doing when you interrupted me."
"You still have business to do."
After being stifled for another sentence, Bao Anquan waved his fist in frustration.
Seeing him like this, Ye Lin nodded to signal himself to shut up, raised his hand to ask him to continue, and his overall attitude was perfunctory.
Thinking about what I'm going to say next,
Bao Anquan was so excited that he even gestured and dubbed, and the purple hair on his head jumped along with it.
"Ye Zi, they're going to go racing around the mountains this afternoon. There are a lot of supercars!"
"I thought you'd been staying in Italy a lot before and didn't know anyone. There's a party going on today, so we could go and have some fun together."
Bao Anquan posed while leaning on the sofa.
"Look at this fashionable outfit, it's specially made to match my Xiao Zi."
Ye Lin didn't react after hearing the previous words until he heard that Bao Anquan bought a purple supercar.
Ye Lin raised his eyebrow and asked him with a half-smile, "Is the sun rising from the west today? You, a stingy person, are willing to buy a supercar."
Bao Anquan, who was posing, froze up, and sat back on the sofa with his arms drooping weakly. Then he sighed and told Ye Lin about the hardships behind the rich family with tears in his eyes.
“I can’t bear to buy it.”
"My third sister was going home recently, but the two supercars she'd ordered arrived at customs before she even arrived. My dad was so upset that he couldn't even eat his noodles that night."
Ye Lin couldn't help but interject, "I really can't eat your noodles with soy sauce."
Pretending not to hear Ye Lin's truth, Bao Anquan continued to indulge in his own pitiful role.
"My cars are all second-hand ones that my third sister didn't want. My dad, seeing that I brought back sweet potato peels, thought I was the best at making ends meet, so he let me pick one out!"
"I couldn't resist the temptation and chose one. Now, something terrible is happening. My third sister is going to Hong Kong tomorrow!"
"Ye Zi! There's no time to lose. Let's go out and run a few laps. If we don't go out and steal her car, she'll definitely break my legs tomorrow!"
"Let's go! Let's go!"
Ye Lin had just finished listening to Master Bao's story when he was dragged to the corridor outside the villa and walked towards the garage as if he knew the way.
"Wait, you're dressed up like a peacock, and I haven't even cleaned up yet."
Bao Anquan stopped running when he heard this and looked at Ye Lin's clothes.
He wore a brown twill jacket on the upper body, black straight jeans on the lower body, and a pair of beige sneakers on his feet.
He is wearing a standard college student outfit. If you look closely, although the prices are not student-friendly, he doesn't look like a rich kid at all.
Bao Anquan tutted his words and looked at Ye Linzhi, shaking his head. "What are you wearing? Are you acting like a model student at home every day? Your grades aren't that good either."
"Just talk, why are you attacking my grades?"
Thinking of the report card that barely passed the passing line, Ye Lin lost the mood to change clothes and turned to go directly to the garage.
"Forget it, let's go this way. You lead the way, and I'll go to the garage to get a car."
"Okay! I'll wait for you at the gate!"
One minute later,
Two sports cars, one purple and one red, left Repulse Bay one after another. Other cars on the street heard the roar from behind them and changed lanes to avoid them, fearing that they would hit the other party and could not afford to pay the compensation.
Ring Mountain Highway,
