Why did she keep putting food on Ye Cheng's plate with such a smile, as if she were begging him for food?
My parents are like that; they've never seen the outside world. No, I have to let them know about my career.
He put down his wine glass, looked at his parents, and said, "Mom and Dad, actually I'm doing business outside now, and I just happened to come back this time to let everyone do business together."
Aunt Qian looked surprised when she heard her son say he was doing business.
"Oh, weren't you doing just fine at the factory? Why did you quit?"
Upon hearing "factory," He Feiyang immediately said disdainfully.
"Mom, what future is there in working in a factory? It's all about working on the assembly line every day. There's no future in that. I've met some buddies, and we've started a business together."
When Ye Cheng heard He Feiyang say he was going into business, he looked up at him. He hadn't expected him to be so shrewd. Assembly line factories really had no future. If there was business to be had, even opening a small shop would be good.
"Oh dear, so Fei Yang has become the boss."
"That's right, otherwise how could I wear a suit?"
Several women began to praise him, making He Feiyang look very proud.
"Feiyang is doing business now? What industry is he in?" Duan Chunsheng asked with great interest.
Hearing that someone had finally asked about his business, He Feiyang immediately stood up.
"Uncle Duan, let me get our products for you to see. They're high-end and very profitable."
His words piqued everyone's interest, and they all put down their chopsticks to watch him, wondering what he could come up with.
Of course, Xiao Wei was still showing off his meat like crazy. This kid, despite his small size, has a big appetite.
He Feiyang turned around and went into the house to take out an exquisitely packaged box. It was slightly smaller and thicker than a computer case, with some English letters written on it, and it looked very high-end.
He solemnly placed the box on the table and said proudly,
"Guess what this is? It's imported from abroad!"
There was a bunch of English text that no one recognized, but thankfully there were a few large Chinese characters written on it: “派斯” (Pai Si), and a picture that looked like a massager or something.
Everyone squinted and looked, then began to shake their heads.
"We can't understand this English. What is this?"
Ye Cheng found it increasingly familiar, but couldn't quite place it for the moment.
Seeing the group of people looking so unsophisticated, He Feiyang was quite pleased with himself. He said in a mysterious tone,
"This is a cutting-edge high-tech product developed by scientists from the United States."
Upon hearing about the United States and its high technology, everyone's eyes lit up immediately.
Widow Zhang asked timidly,
"So, Fei Yang, what exactly does he do?"
He Feiyang felt very comfortable having someone to play the straight man. He looked at Widow Zhang and said...
"Aunt Zhang, this is called a foot massager. It can massage the soles of your feet, making you healthier and even prolonging your life."
"Huh? Foot massage?" Everyone looked puzzled. "Isn't that just a foot massage? Anything you do will do the same thing, right?"
“Then you don’t understand.” He Feiyang raised an eyebrow, looking smug. “Our ordinary massage uses our hands, but theirs uses a kind of electromagnetic wave, which is very useful to the human body.”
"They've done experiments abroad, and using this basically keeps you healthy. Even elderly people can walk more easily after using it."
He Feiyang's explanation sounded so incredible that everyone was starting to doubt it. After all, it wasn't the old society anymore; people had some understanding of these things.
Seeing everyone's expressions, He Feiyang wasn't surprised. He continued,
"Guess how much this costs?"
"200?" Widow Zhang boldly held up two fingers, thinking that was about the price, especially since there were English words on it.
Upon hearing the price of 200, He Feiyang pursed his lips and then said with a disdainful expression,
"Auntie, this is the latest technology, technology! How could it be 200? This one costs 4000 per unit."
"How much?" The price startled everyone present.
Ye Cheng frowned. If he wasn't mistaken, this was a foot bath with a massage function and several speed settings.
This piece of junk would only sell for a little over 100 in later generations, but it can sell for 4,000 in this world.
4000 can buy two square meters of housing.
"Oh, really 4000?" Aunt Qian's voice began to tremble.
She really felt bad spending 4,000 yuan on this so-called technological gadget.
Before going to sea with Ye Cheng, his family only earned about a thousand yuan a month. They couldn't save up 4,000 yuan even after half a year.
My son bought it right away, even though it supposedly prolongs life. We've already spent all our money, what do we need for something that supposedly prolongs life?
Xiao Hu had been annoyed with this guy for a while, and he muttered something under his breath.
"Feiyang, you haven't been scammed, have you?"
He Feiyang, who had been feeling quite smug, immediately darkened his face upon hearing Xiao Hu's words and looked at Xiao Hu rudely, saying...
"You don't know anything! You just spend all your time fishing in the village. Do you even know what technology is?"
Xiao Hu was no pushover; after being insulted like that by He Feiyang, he immediately exploded, slamming his fist on the table and standing up, roaring...
"Damn it! Who the hell are you talking about?"
"I'm talking to you. You think you can be tough in the village? You're nothing outside."
He Feiyang is not afraid of Xiaohu at all now. He considers himself a worldly person who has seen the world, and he is not on the same level as Xiaohu at all.
The atmosphere at the table suddenly became tense. Xiao Hu wanted to continue, but Ye Cheng whispered something.
"Little Tiger, time to eat."
Xiao Hu glanced at Ye Cheng, who was still eating and didn't even look up.
He could only sit down dejectedly.
Ye Cheng was also very unhappy, but this was Aunt Qian's house, so he had to give Aunt Qian some face.
"Sit down quickly, child. Why are you in such a bad mood now that you're back?" Aunt Qian hurriedly pulled He Feiyang down to sit.
He Feiyang snorted, shook himself, and sat down.
Since it was someone else's son, the others didn't know what to say and could only eat in silence in this awkward atmosphere.
Everyone else was fine eating it, but Aunt Qian was uneasy.
She was afraid that Ye Cheng would hold a grudge, and that would be troublesome if it affected the good job she had worked so hard to get.
"Old He, let's raise a toast to Acheng. We're so grateful for his care during this time." Aunt Qian nudged Old He.
Although Old He was slow-witted, he wasn't stupid. He immediately filled his glass and stood up with Aunt Qian.
"Acheng, your aunt and I would like to toast you to express our gratitude."
Seeing the two of them like this, Ye Cheng quickly stood up as well.
"Uncle, Aunt, we're all family, there's no need for formalities, just sit down and eat slowly."
He disliked He Feiyang, but Aunt Qian and her husband had helped him a lot, and he got along very well with his elder brother and sister-in-law. He couldn't let He Feiyang ruin everyone's relationship.
