KNOCK KNOCK...
However, Chen Xi had barely finished speaking when a knock ca from the door.
Everyone imdiately turned to look.
Fang Chenyi, who had been about to walk over to Grandma, copied Chen Xi and slapped his forehead. He then looked at Bai nghan’s parents and said apologetically:
"Oh, my mory is terrible. Excuse , Uncle, Aunt. The gifts I prepared for you two must be here. Uh, I’ll get the door."
After speaking, Fang Chenyi gave everyone an apologetic smile, then turned and walked toward the door.
Everyone looked at each other, and then their gazes fell back on the two bottles of liquor on the coffee table. They all thought to themselves, ’Aren’t these the gifts right here? Sigh, kids these days are so concerned with saving face. He must feel embarrassed that his liquor isn’t as good as Chen Xi’s.’
At that mont, Chen Xi and his wife exchanged a glance, both seeing the confusion in the other’s eyes. What on earth was this kid up to?
anwhile, Fang Chenyi had already opened the door, and a large cardboard box appeared in everyone’s line of sight.
"Wha—nghan, what’s going on?"
Seeing this, Bai nghan’s mother pulled her aside to ask quietly. But Bai nghan didn’t know what was going on either. She looked toward the door and shook her head, saying:
"Mom, would you believe if I said I don’t know either?"
She shot her daughter an exasperated look before quickly hurrying over.
It wasn’t just her; Bai nghan’s dad also hurried over.
"Chenyi, what’s all this?"
Before Fang Chenyi could speak, a head suddenly peeked out from behind the stack of large boxes. The person looked at Bai nghan’s dad and said respectfully:
"Hello, we’re Chairman Fang’s employees. This is the Wuliangye Chairman Fang prepared for you. Where should we put it?"
Chairman Fang? Fang Chenyi? And Wuliangye? Three people, two cases each... are they all filled with Wuliangye?
Just about everyone present was thinking the sa thing, especially Chen Xi and his wife. While others were rely curious, those two were frowning slightly.
Bai nghan’s dad, however, turned to Fang Chenyi with a frown on his face.
"You shouldn’t be spending money so recklessly, child. So much Wuliangye, how much must this have cost? You two will have many expenses in the future. Please don’t spend money like this again. Even if you’d brought a bottle of Erguotou, I wouldn’t have thought any less of you. How about this? Those two bottles of Hai Zhi Lan are already very nice. See if you can return all this liquor."
After Bai nghan’s dad finished, her mom nodded with a frown as well. "That’s right. If you can return it, you should. You should save your money, not spend it recklessly. And nghan, what’s gotten into you? How could you let Chenyi spend so much money!"
The sincere expressions on Bai nghan’s parents’ faces made Fang Chenyi quite happy. Now he understood why Bai nghan was so wonderful. After all, the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.
Hearing her mom, Bai nghan really wanted to repeat what she’d said earlier. ’Mom, would you believe if I said I really, truly don’t know?’
Just then, Chen Xi, who had been sitting on the sofa, walked over quickly. He scrutinized the boxes while speaking to Bai nghan’s dad:
"Hey, Uncle, it’s a kind gesture from Xiaofang. Just accept it. Besides, Wuliangye isn’t as expensive as you’d think these days. Here, let see what kind of Wuliangye Xiaofang brought."
As he spoke, Chen Xi had already reached out and taken a case of Wuliangye.
He held it in his arms and took a closer look, crying out in shock, "My God, is this the 52-proof Wuliangye ’Yuanding Jingsheng’?! This stuff is almost ten thousand yuan a bottle! This case has six bottles, so that’s sixty thousand yuan a case! One, two, three... six cases! That’s three hundred and sixty thousand yuan! Xiaofang—uh, I an, Chenyi, you really spared no expense!"
Chen Xi had even forced himself to switch from "Xiaofang" to "Chenyi." A gift of three hundred and sixty thousand yuan—what did that even an? Even when he first visited his wife’s family, he’d only brought two bottles of Maotai that cost a little over ten thousand yuan each.
Back then, that had made his father-in-law incredibly proud. To this day, he still occasionally bragged to others about how his son-in-law had given him tens of thousands of yuan worth of liquor...
It wasn’t just Chen Xi who was stunned; everyone in the room was. Bai nghan’s parents were especially startled. These few cases of liquor were worth as much as their entire apartnt!
Bai nghan, standing to the side, sighed helplessly. After all, besides the three employees still holding the cases of liquor, she was the only one there who knew Fang Chenyi’s net worth. For him, three hundred thousand yuan was just a drop in the bucket.
However, Bai nghan hadn’t known about this beforehand. Otherwise, she would have never let Fang Chenyi spend so much money on a gift.
"Um, here, you can just put them down here for now."
Seeing everyone still in a state of shock, Fang Chenyi could only touch his nose in resignation. He then pointed to the floor next to him, signaling for the three n to put the boxes down.
Hearing their boss, the three n finally breathed a sigh of relief. Honestly, holding one hundred and twenty thousand yuan worth of liquor was exhausting. If one of them dropped a case, their entire year’s salary would be gone!
After hurriedly setting down the cases, the three of them greeted Fang Chenyi and turned to leave the room.
"Chairman Fang, we’re going back down to keep moving things."
The people in the room, who still hadn’t processed what was happening, heard the n’s words and felt another wave of confusion.
’What do they an? They’re going down to move more things? Is there more?’
And that thought was quickly confird.
Three minutes later, three more large cardboard boxes appeared at the door.
"Chairman Fang, is it okay if we put these on the floor too?"
After getting a nod from Fang Chenyi, the three n put the boxes down and once again turned to leave.
Chen Xi, who was closest and still holding a case of liquor, saw the three new large boxes and subconsciously walked over. He reached out and opened one of them.
"These three cases are all cigarettes? Holy crap! It’s Liqun’s ’Fuchun Shanju’!"
After his eyes focused on the neatly arranged cartons of cigarettes inside, Chen Xi cried out in shock once again.
Only this ti, having already been hit by the shock of the three-hundred-thousand-plus-yuan Wuliangye, everyone was a bit desensitized when they heard the na "Liqun." After all, they might buy a pack of Liqun themselves occasionally, so it wasn’t worth making such a fuss about. Even if it was a large quantity, it surely couldn’t be more expensive than the Wuliangye!
