116: She is our chairperson!
Chen Tao's words made Great Aunt freeze, her dissatisfied expression instantly turning into confusion.
"What boss? Son, what are you talking about?"
Turning back to look at Chen Tao, her originally disdainful expression immediately became respectful. She stood up to welcome them, "Boss, are you... here with Chen Kai?"
"Mom, this is the owner of our Financial Company, President Tang Yunshu!"
Great Aunt gasped again! The dissatisfaction on her face from receiving only a bottle of cola as a birthday gift instantly turned into a smile.
My god, this Chen Kai has really made something of himself! He even managed to win over his son's boss? How much money must the owner of a Financial Company have!!
How could she possibly settle for a man with no ability?
Great Aunt's mind cleared up again, and she held the large bottle of cola like it was a precious treasure.
She immediately slapped her forehead dramatically, her face full of approval.
"Oh my goodness! My big nephew is so sensible, knowing that your Great Aunt has been craving something sweet lately. You are so thoughtful! My big nephew!"
"This gift really touched your Great Aunt's heart! Good! I'll drink it in a while!"
Seeing this, Chen Tao immediately got anxious, "Mom, you have diabetes, the doctor said you can't drink these high-sugar things!"
Great Aunt waved her hand impatiently. Originally, she was proud of her son and wanted to show off about buying the magotan, but compared to Chen Kai, it was nothing!
Look at Chen Kai, he made a comeback in just a year or two, and even hooked up with a female CEO. His car is a Mercedes-Benz; who wouldn't be dazzled by that big mercedes-benz car emblem?
"What do you know? Doctors are all quacks. How could I not drink a gift from my big nephew? Your Great Aunt just likes this stuff!"
Chen Kai smiled faintly and looked back at his parents, whose faces were full of disbelief.
From their faces of disbelief, one could also see a trace of relief and pride. What parents don't hope for their son to succeed?
He took Tang Yunshu and Liu Yunshang by the hand, sat down at the large table, and crossed his legs.
Great Aunt moved the stool next to Second Aunt over and sat next to Chen Kai's parents, her smile never fading, constantly asking about their well-being and basking in the reflected glory.
Snobbish relatives are just like this; one second they can mock you, and the next second they can be fawning all over you.
Chen Kai didn't feel any psychological burden. He had already lived through the past, having endured all kinds of cold mockery and bitterness.
"Oh, my big nephew is doing so well now."
"Old Uncle is happy for you too. Are these both your friends?"
Old Uncle crossed his arms and leaned back against his chair, his face showing no emotion. On the contrary, he seemed a bit disdainful of Great Aunt's enthusiastic attitude.
"They are both my girlfriends. Why didn't your son's girlfriend come back with him?"
Chen Kai held their hands and asked calmly.
"Oh, the girlfriend my son is dating is a city girl and a high-level executive in the Antique Trade. She's busy and doesn't have time to come over."
Old Uncle said, showing off a bit, and glanced at his son, Chen Hao.
"What was your girlfriend's annual salary again?"
Chen Hao immediately understood his father's intention and crossed his legs, looking smug.
He tapped his fingers casually, his eyes full of smugness.
"My girlfriend's annual salary is 300,000. She's a legitimate high-level executive in the Antique Trade, and her boss really needs her."
"So she didn't have time to come back, but I told her, and she'll video call to say hello to everyone later."
Chen Hao said proudly, his chin almost pointing to the sky.
Old Uncle also curled his lips in pride. Although his son wasn't great at his job, his eye for finding a girlfriend was excellent.
When it came to making money, he couldn't earn as much as Chen Tao, so he naturally couldn't show off, but if he could find a good daughter-in-law, he could brag about it for a lifetime!
Like Chen Kai, finding these two girlfriends, so what if they are pretty? The bride price must be sky-high, right? Whether his parents can afford the bride price is another matter.
Even if one of them is a CEO, so what? Maybe she's just playing around with Chen Kai, and he's actually taking it seriously.
If she really liked Chen Kai, why wouldn't such a wealthy CEO heiress buy gifts for his parents?
Thinking of this, Old Uncle curled his lips, "Son, where did you put the gift your girlfriend brought back for me?"
"By the way, how much was the bride price your girlfriend said she wanted last time? Twenty thousand, right? She's so virtuous and considerate of you, unlike some people who are just playing around with him."
Chen Hao immediately became smug, "That's right, twenty thousand in bride price. My girlfriend bought you a bottle of moutai and it's at home. I haven't brought it over yet, I'll bring it to you next time."
After saying this, he glanced at Chen Kai smugly and started a video call with his girlfriend.
Liu Yunshang secretly poked Chen Kai, "Little brother, is he questioning our love for you?"
"Can I roast him back?"
Liu Yunshang asked cautiously in a low voice, a hint of annoyance in her eyes, but she was afraid of upsetting her little brother.
Just then, before Chen Kai could speak, the video call Chen Hao made to his girlfriend was suddenly connected.
As soon as the video connected, the female voice on the other end of the phone said in a very condescending tone.
"I'm busy. Isn't it just your Great Aunt's birthday? It would have been enough for you to go back yourself, why do you have to call me?"
"Don't call me for these meaningless gatherings in the future. After we get married, you aren't allowed to go either. You'd be better off spending that time improving yourself."
When these two sentences came out, Chen Kai watched Chen Hao's face gradually turn ugly, and he couldn't help but laugh out loud.
His status and position were so low it was practically in the dirt. He's going to have a hard time after marriage.
"Who's laughing over there? Chen Hao, stop associating with such unsavory people in the future, understand? If you don't understand, then let's break up!"
"And you insisted that I buy a bottle of moutai to bring back. I really don't understand what's going on in your head."
Chen Hao couldn't save face after being scolded, and immediately gave the phone a meaningful look.
Muttering awkwardly, "Baby, I know. The relatives are all here, just say hello to my relatives."
After saying this, he didn't wait for the woman to agree and immediately turned his body around, scanning the crowd with a selfie angle.
"I don't have time to say hello to your relatives. You should cut off these meaningless social interactions sooner rather than later!"
"How many good people can there be in that family worth you contacting? How much money do you earn a month, anyway?"
"Wait, wait!! Liu... President Liu?! President Liu, why are you there too?"
When the phone scanned past Chen Kai, the woman on the video, who had been impatient, suddenly widened her eyes and rubbed them in disbelief.
She let out an exclamation, her face full of shock and astonishment, even her mouth opening wide.
The dramatic expression on her face seemed to be saying, why is Liu Yunshang sitting among a bunch of losers like you?
"President Liu?? Baby, who are you talking about?"
Chen Hao asked, confused, but someone who could make his girlfriend that shocked must be very powerful.
"It's one of the two women next to that man! Our Antique Trade is one of her suppliers. She is the Chairwoman of Chairwomen!"
