Chapter 13
- Zhang Weiguang burst into laughter, shaking his head as he chuckled, "You really know how to put on an act! If I had a fortune of ten million, I would have joined the Lin family a long time ago. Why wait until today?"
- Ye Tian ignored him and simply said, "I hope Uncle keeps his word."
- Lin Jinsheng didn't want to see Ye Tian and coldly replied, "Then go prepare the money. My house won't serve you food. Goodbye!"
- Lin Ziyi angrily asked, "Dad! What's wrong with Ye Tian? Why are you treating him like this?"
- Lin Jinsheng was about to scold his ungrateful daughter when a surprised exclamation came from outside the courtyard, "Kuihua Maotai? It smells so good!"
- Upon hearing this, Lin Jinsheng was taken aback. Having been in the business world for decades, he certainly knew what Kuihua Maotai was. It was a Maotai liquor produced in the 1970s. A bottle of Kuihua Maotai on the market would cost hundreds of thousands!
- He quickly walked outside the gate, followed by Zhu Yuting and Lin Ni.
- Outside the gate, an old man in his sixties was squatting on the ground, inhaling the scent of the air as if he were savoring it.
- Lin Jinsheng was surprised, "General Zhou, what are you doing?"
- General Zhou also lived in this neighborhood, not far from the Lin family. He owned several factories and had a net worth of billions.
- General Zhou glared at Lin Jinsheng and said, "Mr. Lin, this is a fine liquor worth hundreds of thousands. If you don't want it, give it to me. Why would you break it? Ah, what a waste!"
- Lin Jinsheng was shocked. He picked up the gift box, which contained four bottles of Maotai liquor, one of which was already broken. The aroma of the liquor made him unable to resist taking a few sips.
- "Is this really Kuihua Maotai?" He was both heartbroken and astonished, and couldn't help but turn his head to look at Ye Tian, his eyes filled with doubt.
- Zhang Weiguang didn't drink much, he took a glance and said, "Dad, this is obviously an old fake. How could this poor boy afford such a precious vintage liquor? Dad, don't fall for his trick."
- Ye Tian furrowed his brows slightly. He had only just met Zhang Weiguang, so why was he targeting him everywhere?
- General Zhou became unhappy and his face darkened, "Young man, don't talk nonsense if you don't understand! I have had Kuihua Maotai twice before, and it left a deep impression on me. The broken bottle has a rich and mellow aroma, with a strong sauce fragrance. It must be a vintage liquor brewed in the 1970s. There's absolutely no mistake!"
- Zhang Weiguang was refuted and felt very dissatisfied. He wanted to argue, but Lin Jinsheng casually said, "Mr. Zhou is an expert, and this is indeed Kuihua Maotai."
- He picked up all the gifts on the ground and smiled, "Mr. Zhou, I'll treat you to Maotai another day."
- Mr. Zhou's eyes lit up, "Great! Mr. Lin, I've noted it down. I'll come find you in a couple of days for a drink."
- After Mr. Zhou left, Lin Jinsheng stared at Ye Tian and asked, "Where did you get this wine?"
- Ye Tian replied, "Uncle, they were all gifts from others."
- Lin Jinsheng frowned, "Gifts from others? Who would give you such an expensive wine?"
- Then, out of respect for Maotai, he said to Ye Tian, "Come inside and have a seat."
- Zhang Weiguang, with sharp eyes, noticed a top-of-the-line BMW 7 Series parked next to the parking spot. He couldn't help but feel envious, thinking to himself, "When will I be able to drive a car worth millions?" Little did he know, that car belonged to Ye Tian.
- The family returned to the living room and sat down. Zhang Weiguang's face looked somewhat unnatural. He had also brought wine as a gift today, but his box of wine was only worth a little over a thousand yuan. In comparison, the gifts Ye Tian brought were much more valuable.
- Upon this comparison, he suddenly felt very embarrassed. He deliberately sneered and stared at Ye Tian, saying, "Could it be that you stole these good wines? After all, you've been to prison, and old habits die hard."
- Lin Jinsheng was shocked. He stared at Ye Tian and asked, "Could it be that you really stole this wine?"
- Even though Ye Tian had a good temper, he was also a bit angry. He coldly replied, "I've said it before, the wine was given to me by someone else."
- Zhang Weiguang snorted, "Given to you by someone else? Someone from the lower class like you, who would give you hundreds of thousands worth of wine? Even if you're lying, at least make it sound believable!"
- Lin Ziyi's hands and feet turned cold with anger. She said angrily, "Brother-in-law, Ye Tian understands medicine and has cured many important people. These wines were all given by those important people."
- After hearing this, Zhang Weiguang couldn't help but shake his head. "Oh, Ziyi, you've been deceived too deeply. Important people? How could this Ye Tian know any important people?"
- Lin Jinsheng became even more suspicious. Could this kid be lying?
- Seeing that Ye Tian couldn't defend himself, Zhang Weiguang felt a sense of satisfaction. He turned to Lin Jinsheng and said, "Dad, I've already taken care of the matter you mentioned last time. Don't worry, I'll make sure it gets done."
- Lin Jinsheng nodded, "Weiguang, thank you for your hard work."
- Zhang Weiguang smiled, "Dad, we're family, no need to be polite."
- Then, he glanced at Ye Tian and said, "Since you've cured many important people, this small matter should be resolved in no time, right?"
- Ye Tian, unaware of the situation, looked towards Lin Ziyi.
- Lin Ziyi whispered to him, it turned out that Lin Jinsheng mainly took on road construction projects. He owned several companies with contracting qualifications, often taking on road maintenance projects in the city and subcontracting them to others to earn a profit.
- But half a year ago, Lin Jinsheng suddenly couldn't get any major projects anymore. He tried several times to ask for help from relevant departments, but all in vain. Later, he somehow offended Tian Yongchun, the deputy director of the city's urban planning department, and as a result, he couldn't even get small projects.
- Now Lin Jinsheng has been idle at home for half a year and is often scolded by his elderly mother, feeling very depressed.
- After understanding the cause and effect, Ye Tian said, "So that's what happened, Uncle. I can help you inquire about it."
- Upon seeing that Ye Tian was willing to take on this matter, Zhang Weiguang sneered, "You want to inquire? Who do you think you can ask?"
- Ye Tian ignored him and took out his phone. He asked in a group chat, "Does anyone know Tian Yongchun from the City Planning Bureau?"
- Upon seeing this message, the people in the group immediately mobilized those around them to investigate Tian Yongchun's identity.
- In just a few minutes, a very low-key person named "Liu Deming - Deputy Assistant of Province K" replied, "Ye Divine Doctor, I had someone check. Tian Yongchun is a subordinate of my subordinate."
- Ye Tian said, "Deputy Assistant Liu, this Tian Yongchun is not very friendly towards my relative who works in construction. His name is Lin Jinsheng."
- Liu Deming quickly responded, "Ye Divine Doctor, please rest assured. I will take care of it immediately."
- Observing Ye Tian texting, Zhang Weiguang thought he was just pretending and sneered, "Keep pretending! Unless the impossible happens, you won't be able to solve this matter!"
- Lin Ziyi furrowed her brows and asked, "Brother-in-law, why do you always target Ye Tian? What did he do to offend you?"
- Zhang Weiguang snorted, "There's nothing I can do. I just dislike people who clearly lack abilities but dare to boast about themselves."
- Ye Tian put down his phone and calmly stated, "Uncle, I have already asked."
- Lin Jinsheng hesitated for a moment and nodded, saying, "Alright."
- Lin Ziyi took out another gift box and retrieved a pair of jade bracelets from it. The color was vibrant and the quality was excellent, belonging to the finest imperial green.
- Zhu Yuting had a great appreciation for jade and possessed some knowledge about it. As soon as she saw the bracelets, her eyes lit up and she exclaimed, "These bracelets are so beautiful, Ziyi. Are they very valuable?"
