Chapter 14

  • Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "Mom, as long as you like it. This is a small gift from Ye Tian."
  • Lin Jinsheng had seen and experienced a lot. With just one glance, he could tell that this bracelet was extraordinary. Last time, when he met a client, the person was wearing a jade gourd pendant the size of a peanut, also in this beautiful shade of green. Later, the client told him that although the pendant was small, it was worth over a hundred thousand dollars!
  • Compared to that, the jade bracelets that Ye Tian gave were much larger in size, and they came in a pair. How much could they be worth?
  • Zhang Weiguang saw that Ye Tian had even given jade bracelets and couldn't help but feel uneasy. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, I think these bracelets are made of glass. There are too many fake jade items on the market, and you can't tell the difference with the naked eye."
  • Ye Tian had tolerated this person for a long time and, seeing that he wouldn't stop, he calmly said, "Are you saying they're fake?"
  • Zhang Weiguang sneered, "What? You don't admit it? I've seen plenty of these fake goods. You can get them for five yuan each at the street stalls, as many as you want!"
  • After hearing this, Zhu Yuting also had some doubts. She said, "Ziyi, based on my experience, this pair of bracelets is worth at least several million dollars. Where did you guys get the money from?"
  • Ye Tian said, "Auntie, we have a lot of these kinds of things at home..."
  • "Hahaha..." Zhang Weiguang burst into laughter, his mockery becoming even stronger on his face. "You have a lot at home? Even if you're bragging, there should be a limit, right? This is just hilarious!"
  • Just then, Lin Jinsheng's phone rang, and it was an unfamiliar number.
  • Lin Jinsheng answered the call, and everyone else fell silent.
  • "Mr. Lin, it's Xiaotian."
  • Lin Jinsheng was taken aback, Xiaotian?
  • The person on the other end said again, "I'm Xiaotian, Tian Yongchun. Hehe, Mr. Lin, do you have time now? I'd like to visit you."
  • Lin Jinsheng was dumbfounded. This Tian Yongchun was always looking down on him. In the past, when they met, he wouldn't even give him a proper look. Why was he suddenly so polite?
  • But Lin Jinsheng remained calm and said, "Director Tian, I have time."
  • Tian Yongchun laughed and said, "That's great! I'll come over right away. Hehe, Mr. Lin, you have an influential person by your side. I must pay a visit!"
  • Influential person? Tian Yongchun's first reaction was to glance at Zhang Weiguang because his son-in-law had said that he would help resolve this matter.
  • Tian Yongchun asked for the address and then hung up the phone.
  • Lin Jinsheng's face was suddenly filled with a smile as he looked at Zhang Weiguang and said, "Weiguang, I didn't expect you to act so quickly. The person who called just now was Tian Yongchun. Judging from his tone, he shouldn't trouble me anymore."
  • Zhang Weiguang was taken aback. He was just bragging earlier and didn't actually find any connections. But since good fortune had come his way, he didn't want to let it go to waste. After a moment of hesitation, he immediately smiled and said, "Dad, it's mainly because of your social status. The person named Tian doesn't want to offend you too much."
  • Lin Jinsheng laughed heartily, "Good, Weiguang, I didn't misjudge you. You're really good!"
  • Ye Tian observed coldly. He knew that Tian Yongchun's phone call had nothing to do with Zhang Weiguang. It was probably Liu Deming's doing.
  • Lin Ni's face showed a hint of pride as she said, "Dad, Weiguang knows a lot of influential people. If you have any issues in the future, just consult him."
  • After speaking, she glanced at Ye Tian with a contemptuous look.
  • Zhu Yuting also put down her bracelet and praised her son-in-law's achievements. Zhang Weiguang couldn't help but feel elated and said, "Dad, Mom. Although I'm not a big shot in Haicheng, I can easily handle these small matters. Unlike some people who are good for nothing except bragging!"
  • Lin Ziyi was so angry that her stomach hurt and her body trembled.
  • Ye Tian held her small hand, indicating for her to calm down, and said, "Uncle, Aunt, I was young and ignorant before, causing you to worry."
  • Lin Jinsheng nodded, "As long as you understand."
  • After a few more casual remarks, the sound of a car parking outside could be heard, followed by the doorbell ringing.
  • Zhu Yuting went out to greet the guests. Before long, a chubby middle-aged man walked in with a gift in his hand. As soon as he entered, he had a smile on his face and quickly walked towards Lin Jinsheng, saying, "General Lin, long time no see. I came here specifically to visit you! This is a small gift, just a token of respect."
  • The visitor was Tian Yongchun. His attitude surprised Lin Jinsheng, who quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Director Tian, you're too polite. Please have a seat."
  • However, Tian Yongchun didn't sit down. He glanced at everyone in the room and asked with a smile, "General Lin, may I know who the distinguished guest is?"
  • By "distinguished guest," he naturally meant the person who had caught the attention of his immediate superior.
  • Lin Jinsheng smiled and pointed at Zhang Weiguang, saying, "This is my son-in-law, Zhang Weiguang. Weiguang, this is Director Tian Yongchun."
  • Tian Yongchun's eyes lit up as he walked over and shook Zhang Weiguang's hand vigorously, saying, "Mr. Zhang, you truly are outstanding! Handsome and talented!"
  • Zhang Weiguang was confused. He wondered why this person was being so polite to him, even a little obsequious?
  • Tian Yongchun smiled and said, "Young Master Zhang, do you know Zhu Ting?"
  • Zhang Weiguang had heard of some important figures in Haicheng, and he had a thought. He immediately said, "Director Tian, are you referring to Director Zhu Congwu? Haha, we have a good relationship!"
  • Tian Yongchun was taken aback for a moment and said, "Young Master Zhang, I was referring to Zhu Ting from the provincial government."
  • Zhang Weiguang was startled. The provincial government!
  • At that moment, Ye Tian received a private message reply from Liu Deming: "Divine Doctor Ye, I have asked Zhu Yafu to handle this matter. Here is his phone number, you can contact him directly if you have any issues."
  • "Okay, thank you," Ye Tian responded.
  • Liu Deming replied, "Divine Doctor Ye, you're too kind. You saved my life, so in the future, feel free to come to me if you need anything."
  • Observing Zhang Weiguang's expression, Tian Yongchun, who had been in the government for decades, immediately realized that he had mistaken the person. He couldn't help but glance at Lin Jinsheng and said, "General Lin, do either of you recognize Director Zhu?"
  • In a calm manner, Ye Tian asked, "Are you referring to Zhu Yafu?"
  • Tian Yongchun's eyes lit up and he said, "Yes, yes, do you know Director Zhu?"
  • Zhang Weiguang was shocked and looked at Ye Tian in surprise.
  • "I don't know him," Ye Tian stated.
  • Zhang Weiguang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to mock, but Ye Tian continued, "However, I am acquainted with Zhu Yafu's immediate superior, Liu Deming."
  • Tian Yongchun's heart trembled. The third most important figure in the province, Deputy Minister Liu Deming! He then made an effort to force out the most perfect smile and said, "General Lin, how should I address this young man?"
  • Lin Jinsheng was taken aback for a moment and said, "This is... my youngest daughter's boyfriend, Ye Tian."
