However, i Xi spoke very loudly, and upon hearing it, Zhang Yufei was instantly furious. Her teeth clattered as she bit down, and just as she was about to storm off to confront her aunt, she was stopped by Luo Chao, who shook his head and said, "After all, she's your aunt, no need to spoil the harmony."
"She can say whatever she wants about , but how dare she talk about you? I'm just so mad!" Zhang Yufei's cheeks flushed red as she spoke angrily.
Luo Chao smiled, "It's no big deal, she didn't say anything significant about . If you don't want to stay here, then let's leave early."
Since i Xi was Zhang Yufei's aunt, otherwise, Luo Chao would have already taught her a lesson. Although he wouldn't slap her, giving her a tiny prick to teach her a minor lesson wouldn't be out of the question.
This ti, Luo Chao understood the situation. Yuan Yangguang was actually a deputy section chief in the engineering departnt of a state-owned enterprise, and a person with real power. Zhang Yufei's uncle seed to be a contractor who hadn't found work recently and was hoping that this deputy section chief could offer him sothing to do.
But i Xi's words were excessively spiteful, completely dismissing the Zhang Family, so no wonder Zhang Yufei was so angry.
Yuan Yangguang wasn't deaf; upon hearing i Xi's words, a smug smile curled on his lips. Kid, even if you have an advantage, Zhang Zhiqiang is trying to curry favor with . As a leader in a state-owned enterprise, a lucrative engineering section chief, do you think you really compare?
After being scolded indirectly by i Xi, Zhang Zhiqiang felt really aggrieved. A man who hasn't earned money truly has no rights. Suppressing his inner anger, he said seriously, "You've never asked what Luo Chao does; maybe he's more capable than Deputy Chief Yuan. Now he's already Yufei's boyfriend, and anyway, Yufei is my niece, not my daughter, so how can we stop her from dating?"
i Xi thought about it and realized it was true, though she was still unhappy. Today was specifically to invite Deputy Chief Yuan to their ho and, by the way, introduce him to her niece as a boyfriend. Given Deputy Chief Yuan's qualifications, the niece shouldn't refuse. However, unexpectedly, the niece silently brought her boyfriend along. Isn't that infuriating?
Both Zhang Zhiqiang and i Xi knew that Zhang Yufei was attractive and had a great figure, and that of course Yuan Yangguang would be interested. If Deputy Chief Yuan courted her, whether they beca a couple or not, Yuan Yangguang would surely give projects to Zhang Zhiqiang. If you don't push the kids out, how do you trap the wolf? This is certain.
i Xi ca out from the kitchen, and at this mont, Luo Chao and Zhang Yufei were sitting on the sofa. Just as Zhang Yufei was about to say they should leave, i Xi spoke up, "Your na is Luo Chao, right? What do you do now?"
Luo Chao replied, "I'm the head of the research departnt at the Southeast City branch of Tengyuan Group's costics division."
A head position sounds decent, but it's a pity he can't help our family at all. i Xi, being the realistic woman she was, shook her head, "What do your parents do?"
"My parents are farrs in the countryside," Luo Chao answered honestly.
i Xi felt even more disdain. So he was a country bumpkin, while Yufei is now a director in the Jiangning City Police Departnt, completely unmatched! Yuan Yangguang's parents are both top leaders in state-owned enterprises; otherwise, how could he be a deputy section chief at just 28, and next year he'll be a full section chief!
There's just no comparison!
At this mont, upon hearing this, Yuan Yangguang imdiately said, "Uncle Zhang, our state enterprise's copper processing and slting plant is about to stop production for maintenance. There are many projects needing maintenance. By then, I could give you a few projects, earning a good fifty or sixty thousand should be no problem."
"Earn fifty or sixty thousand?" i Xi exclaid excitedly and couldn't help but nudge Old Zhang's arm. "Did you hear that, Old Zhang?"
"That's really sothing," Zhang Zhiqiang didn't know what to say. Deputy Chief Yuan's attitude was clearly to make Luo Chao and Zhang Yufei break up.
As ntioned, Yufei isn't his own daughter, so how could he manage her lifelong matters? Zhang Zhiqiang felt very troubled, so he simply remained silent.
However, upon seeing Deputy Chief Yuan's flaunting manner, Zhang Yufei couldn't stand it and quickly nudged Luo Chao with her hip, whispering, "Luo Chao, show him what you've got."
"Aren't we leaving directly?" Luo Chao asked in surprise.
Zhang Yufei huffed, "Leave? Look at how smug he is, I just can't stand it."
Luo Chao asked again, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Yes, just don't overdo it," Zhang Yufei, believing in Luo Chao's abilities, whispered in his ear.
At this mont, Luo Chao spoke to Zhang Zhiqiang, "Uncle Zhang, a friend of mine has an engineering project about to start. How about I introduce you to him?"
i Xi and Yuan Yangguang were both stunned, but soon the two had mocking smiles on their faces. Putting on airs, coming from a farming family, just a branch head, such a tiny official. Who would believe he could introduce an engineering project!
Zhang Zhiqiang let out a bitter laugh, "Alright then!"
Uncle Zhang's smile was sowhat forced. After all, Luo Chao didn't seem like soone who could bring a big engineering project to Zhang Zhiqiang; he didn't have the background or the status.
"I'll go make a phone call then," Luo Chao, taking his phone, walked onto the balcony outside the living room. At this mont, i Xi quickly said, "These young people today, they really brag without thinking. They'll say anything, even about engineering projects. It makes blush listening to it!"
Zhang Yufei was once again furious. This aunt used to be better, but now she's becoming more and more harsh, definitely because she's hit nopause!
"Auntie is very right," Yuan Yangguang said with a smile, his eyes then focusing on Zhang Yufei. Up to now, this beautiful woman hadn't even given him a glance, and she seed a bit difficult to win over. But given that figure and angel-like face, it indeed requires a bit of a challenge.
"Uncle Zhang, what's your phone number?" Luo Chao suddenly asked from the balcony.
And quickly i Xi added, "Just putting on a show!"
Zhang Zhiqiang, forcing confidence, said, "135XXXXXXX!"
Luo Chao also repeated this phone number over the phone.
When Luo Chao ca back, Zhang Zhiqiang's phone imdiately rang. He glanced at it — an unfamiliar number. Could Luo Chao be serious?
Holding his phone, Zhang Zhiqiang walked out onto the balcony, while Luo Chao sat back beside Zhang Yufei, who chuckled, "Let's see what surprises you've got for this ti!"
And i Xi and Yuan Yangguang were both taken aback. Could this guy really have so connections in engineering projects? But it doesn't seem likely; with farming parents and just a branch head, what waves could he possibly make?
A few minutes later, when Zhang Zhiqiang returned, his face was flushed, unable to speak for a while, not knowing if it was from excitent or extre anger.
Seeing Old Zhang's appearance, i Xi sprang up, "I said, where on earth are such favorable conditions, a minor head could introduce projects for us, it looks like a swindle for money. Still a head, huh, I think he is a poor country boy, Yufei, see this, see him infuriate your uncle. It's best to stay away from such fraudsters."
i Xi, standing with her hands on her hips, resembled a shrew scolding in the street, looking terribly unattractive. Zhang Yufei, angered, was about to lose her temper, yet Luo Chao remained unperturbed, with a slight, serene smile.
With a slap, a loud smack resounded; i Xi held her cheek in disbelief, staring at Old Zhang. This man she had always suppressed dared to hit her?
And Zhang Yufei was also shocked, but secretly thought it was well deserved!
"Crazy woman, do you know what you're talking about? I've tolerated you long enough," Zhang Zhiqiang yelled, "Always being unreasonable, now that people are taking care of us, you curse them like this, truly outrageous, get out, get the hell out, tomorrow we divorce!"
After Zhang Zhiqiang said this, he felt incredibly relieved at heart!
