Lin Ziyi smiled and said, "Mom, I'm glad you like it. This is a small token of our affection, mine and Ye Tian's."
Lin Jinsheng, having seen and experienced much, recognized the bracelets as extraordinary at first glance. The last time he met a client, the client wore a jade gourd the size of a peanut around his neck, the same beautiful green. During their conversation, the client told him that although the pendant was small, it was worth over a hundred thousand yuan!
Compared to that, the pair of bracelets Ye Tian had given was much larger, and a pair at that. How much could they be worth?
When Zhang Weiguang saw that Ye Tian had actually given jade bracelets, he felt a pang of unease. He couldn't help but say, "Mom, I think these bracelets are made of glass. There are too many fake jades on the market, and you can't tell the difference with the naked eye."
Ye Tian had tolerated this person for a long time. Seeing him go on and on, he said calmly, "Are you saying they're fake?"
Zhang Weiguang sneered, "What? You don't admit it? I've seen plenty of these fakes. You can get them for five yuan each at street stalls, as many as you want."
With his words, Zhu Yuting also began to have doubts. She said, "Ziyi, from my experience, this pair of bracelets is worth at least several million. Where did you get the money?"
Ye Tian replied, "Auntie, I have a lot of these things at home..."
"Hahaha..." Zhang Weiguang burst into laughter, his face filled with even more mockery. "You have a lot at home? There's a limit to bragging. This is hilarious!"
Just then, Lin Jinsheng's phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number.
Lin Jinsheng answered, and the others fell silent.
"Mr. Lin, it's Xiao Tian."
Lin Jinsheng was taken aback. Xiao Tian?
The other person continued, "It's Xiao Tian, Tian Yongchun. Heh heh, Mr. Lin, do you have time now? I'd like to pay you a visit."
Lin Jinsheng was stunned. This Tian Yongchun was arrogant and had never even looked him in the eye before. Why was he being so polite this time?
However, Lin Jinsheng remained composed. He said, "Section Chief Tian, I have time."
Tian Yongchun smiled, "That's great. I'll be right over. Heh heh, Mr. Lin, you have a distinguished guest with you. I must pay my respects!"
A distinguished guest? Tian Yongchun's first thought was to glance at Zhang Weiguang, because his son-in-law Zhang Weiguang had said he would help him resolve this matter. Su Dan Novel Network.
Tian Yongchun asked for the address and hung up.
Lin Jinsheng's face immediately lit up with a smile. He looked at Zhang Weiguang and said, "Weiguang, I didn't expect you to be so quick. The person who called just now was Tian Yongchun. Judging by his tone, he shouldn't cause me any more trouble."
Zhang Weiguang was momentarily stunned. He had only spoken about it before and hadn't found any connections. However, since the credit had fallen from the sky, he might as well take it. After a brief pause, he immediately smiled and said, "Dad, it's mainly because you have social standing. The person surnamed Tian doesn't want to offend you too much."
Lin Jinsheng chuckled, "Good, good, Weiguang. I didn't misjudge you. You're doing very well!"
Ye Tian observed from the side. He knew that Tian Yongchun's call had nothing to do with Zhang Weiguang; it was likely Liu Deming who was pulling strings.
Lin Ni's face showed a hint of pride. She said, "Dad, Weiguang knows so many friends. If you have any matters in the future, just ask him."
After speaking, she cast a disdainful glance at Ye Tian.
Zhu Yuting also put down the bracelets and praised her elder son-in-law for his success. Zhang Weiguang couldn't help but feel a sense of self-importance. He said, "Dad, Mom. Although I'm not a big shot in Haicheng, I can easily handle small matters like this. Unlike some people, who are useless except for bragging."
Lin Ziyi felt a sharp pain in her stomach, her body trembling.
Ye Tian held her small hand, signaling her to remain calm. He said, "Uncle, Auntie, I was too young and ignorant before, and I caused you a lot of worry."
Lin Jinsheng grunted, "It's good that you understand."
After a few pleasantries, the family heard a car stop outside, and then the doorbell rang.
Zhu Yuting went to greet the guests. Soon, a fair-skinned, plump middle-aged man walked in, carrying gifts. As soon as he entered, his face was filled with smiles, and he quickly walked towards Lin Jinsheng. "Mr. Lin, oh my, it's been a while. I've come specifically to visit you! These are just small gifts, a token of my appreciation."
The visitor was Tian Yongchun. His attitude surprised Lin Jinsheng, who quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Section Chief Tian, you're too kind. Please, have a seat."
Tian Yongchun did not sit. He scanned everyone present and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lin, may I ask who the distinguished guest is?"
The distinguished guest he was referring to was naturally the person who had alerted his superior.
Lin Jinsheng smiled and pointed at Zhang Weiguang. "This is my son-in-law, Zhang Weiguang. Weiguang, this is Tian Yongchun, Section Chief Tian."
Tian Yongchun's eyes lit up. He walked over and shook Zhang Weiguang's hand vigorously. "Young Master Zhang is truly talented and handsome!"
Zhang Weiguang was bewildered. He wondered why this person was being so polite, even somewhat fawning, towards him.
Tian Yongchun smiled and asked, "Does Young Master Zhang know Director Zhu?"
Zhang Weiguang had heard of some of the big figures in Haicheng. His mind raced, and he immediately said, "Are you referring to Director Zhu Congwu, Section Chief Tian? Heh heh, we have a very good relationship!"
Tian Yongchun was taken aback and said, "Young Master Zhang, I'm referring to the provincial Director Zhu."
Zhang Weiguang was startled. The provincial level!
At this moment, Ye Tian received a private message reply from Liu Deming: "Divine Doctor Wu, I have asked Zhu Yafu to handle this matter. This is his phone number. You can contact him directly if you need anything."
Ye Tian replied, "Okay, thank you."
Liu Deming chuckled, "Divine Doctor Wu, you're too kind. You saved my life, so feel free to ask me, Old Liu, for anything in the future."
Seeing Zhang Weiguang's expression, Tian Yongchun, who had been navigating official circles for decades, immediately knew he had the wrong person. He couldn't help but look at Lin Jinsheng and say, "Mr. Lin, who among you knows Director Zhu?"
Ye Tian said calmly, "Are you referring to Zhu Yafu?"
Tian Yongchun's eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, him. Do you know Director Zhu?"
Zhang Weiguang was shocked and looked at Ye Tian in disbelief.
Ye Tian replied, "I don't know him."
Zhang Weiguang breathed a sigh of relief and was about to mock him when Ye Tian continued, "I know Zhu Yafu's superior, Liu Deming."
Tian Yongchun's heart skipped a beat. Liu Deming, the provincial number three figure, the Deputy Prime Minister! He then tried his best to force out the most perfect smile. "Mr. Lin, what is this young gentleman's name?"
Lin Jinsheng was momentarily stunned and said, "This is... my younger daughter's boyfriend, Ye Tian."
