C132 Awkward.
C132 Awkward.
Third Uncle is full of hope.
Zhao Yuanzheng silently shook his head. "Forget it. I will use water to replace wine."
"You came from a distant place. How can you not drink? You should also try the taste of the wine."
Zhao Yuanzheng continued to wave his hand. "I really don't drink. Give me a cup of plain water."
Third Uncle's face turned red, but he said enthusiastically, "Just drink a mouthful. I promise you will like it."
"What's wrong with you? I said I won't drink, so I won't drink." Zhao Yuanzheng's tone was filled with anger.
Mrs. Zhao immediately sneered, "Mr. Ye, don't waste your time! Yuanzheng usually only drank Lefite, and it was in 2008. A bottle is only about 50,000-60,000. I reckon you guys don't have this kind of wine either. So you guys don't need to order wine."
Fifty to sixty thousand?
Everyone took a deep breath.
This was simply drinking gold.
Third Uncle didn't insist, because he really couldn't afford such an expensive wine.
"Alright then. You can use water to replace wine."
The awkward atmosphere only eased up after a while. The dishes were once again served. At this time, everyone started to chat again.
"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, what do you think about the marriage between Zhao Xiang and Ning?"
Zhao Yuanzheng said lightly, "The two children like each other. Of course I agree with this. Otherwise, I wouldn't have come all the way here personally, but I have a few requests."
"What request?" Third Uncle asked.
"First, Ning can no longer do real estate sales. After she gets married, she has to stay at home and focus on taking care of her husband and child. Secondly, she needs to continue learning. She needs to improve her cultural literacy and connotations."
Zhao Yuanzheng paused for a moment. He looked at the people from the Ye family and said," As for the third request, I don't like trouble. "
After that, everyone became angry.
What did this mean?
He looked down on our Ye family?
He is afraid that the poor relatives of the Ye family will beg him?
Third Uncle immediately said in a cold voice, "Mr. Zhao, since you have made your request, I will tell you three points."
"Hehe, I am all ears."
"First, Ning's job is her own choice. No one can decide. Second, I agree to let her continue to study, but it depends on her own thoughts."
"As for the third, although our Ye family isn't a wealthy family, we don't have to worry about food and clothing. We don't want to rely on others."
Third Uncle's words warmed everyone.
The Ye family wasn't as rich as Zhao Yuanzheng.
But we don't spend his money, is there a need for him to be so arrogant?
It's as if we have to rely on him.
Furthermore, Ye Ning was a girl.
"Alright, this is what I hope for."
Zhao Yuanzheng curled his lips. He had seen too many people fawning on him. He hated them. He hoped that the Ye family would have the same backbone as they had said.
As for the first two points, he wasn't worried at all. As long as Ye Ning married into the Zhao Family, would he still be afraid that she wouldn't comply?
At this time, Ye Ke suddenly stood up and came in front of Zhao Yuanzheng. "Uncle Zhao, I am Ye Ke from the Ye family. I am currently studying a PhD at the University of Southern California in M Country. I want to have a drink with you."
When everyone saw this scene, they felt very warm in their hearts.
They did not expect that the shy Ye Ke would actually want to save face for the Ye family.
Hmph, so what if you have money?
Do you have knowledge?
Do you have a degree?
Zhao Yuanzheng looked up at Ye Ke and said calmly, "You should have a drink with Zhao Xiang. You two have a common topic."
"He got his PhD in Duke University. You can ask him for some experience. "
What?
Everyone was shocked.
Duke University?
That was not some trash university, but one of the ten most famous universities in M Country. Its position in the world was very important, and it had nurtured countless talents.
Zhao Xiang's academic qualifications were actually so high!
Ye Ke was stunned, and his expression was extremely awkward.
The academic qualifications that he was proud of were worthless in front of Zhao Xiang. How ironic.
Zhao Xiang quickly raised his glass and clinked it with Ye Ke. He smiled and said, "You are Ning's cousin, so I will also call you cousin. Come, let's toast. "
Zhao Xiang drank the white wine in his glass in one gulp, showing extreme humility and respect.
This made Ye Ke feel a little better.
However, the faces of the people from the Ye family were extremely ugly. Because not only were they inferior in terms of economics, they were also inferior in terms of knowledge.
Ye Chen, who was standing on the side, silently nodded his head.
Zhao Yuanzheng was not good enough, but his son's EQ was quite high.
"Son, it's fine. You still have room to work hard. Don't be discouraged."
Second Aunt said lightly, "Even if Zhao Xiang graduated from Duke University, he still has to help manage the family business when he returns to the country. What great prospects can he have? When you return to the country in the future, you may receive a salary of ten million years, much better than him. "
" I know, Mom. " Ye Ke nodded heavily. His eyes were filled with the flames of struggle.
No one would have thought that such profound words were uttered by a housewife like her.
Ye Chen could not help but sigh. Sometimes, knowledge was not necessarily more important than life experience.
Reading ten thousand books was not as good as traveling ten thousand miles. It was really not baseless.
Of course, except for Ye Chen, because he could read more than ten thousand books.
Ye Qi saw that Ye Chen was not satisfied, so he picked up the wine cup and walked over.
"Mr. Zhao, Mrs. Zhao, I am Ye Qi from the Ye family. I am now the director of the Government Department in Binshui County. I would like to propose a toast to all of you."
Zhao Yuanzheng ignored Ye Chen. Instead, he asked Mrs. Zhao, "Wife, have you seen him?"
Mrs. Zhao shook her head and said lightly, "Anyone below the level of a prefectural officer in Binshui County is not qualified to participate in the Jianghai Conference. Naturally, I have never seen him before."
"Ye, I am the director of the Government Department in Jianghai City."
Ye Qi's face stiffened. He said awkwardly, "Leader, hello."
"Wang and Sun from Binshui County are my students. When the time comes, I'll call them and ask them to promote you."
Ye Qi smiled bitterly.
The Wang and Sun mentioned by Mrs. Zhao were not ordinary people. They were the original leaders of the Binshui County.
Although they had some problems with the construction of Binshui County and were demoted to deputy level, they were still Ye Qi's boss.
How should he turn the tables?
His superiors were all her students!
Zhao Xiang saw that Ye Qi was embarrassed, so he quickly came over and toasted to him. "Let me toast you!"
Zhao Xiang drank another glass of white wine. It was so spicy that even his tears flowed out.
He was already unable to drink, but he forced himself to drink two glasses of strong liquor in a row.
Mrs. Zhao immediately rebuked angrily, "Are you showing off your alcohol tolerance? What does this have to do with you? Some people just want to be taught a lesson. Otherwise, they will think that they can be lawless just because they have little success. "
Zhao Xiang did not dare to refute. He could only eat two mouthfuls of food to relieve his discomfort.
Ye Qi returned to his seat sadly, feeling extremely stifled in his chest.
He had worked hard for so many years, but in other people's eyes, he was just a person with small achievements. It was too ironic!
