Chapter 329: Tough Yuan Zhou (First)

It was a classmate of Li Hongji. To be exact, the person was a team leader in his former company. His name was Guo Ming. Several years ago, Li Hongji had worked under him and was taken good care of, which Li Hongji had always borne in mind.

There was a saying that a man without ambitions was a failure of a man. Li Hongji was a man of ambitions. He was dissatisfied with the salary of 3000-4000 RMB per month in the state-owned enterprise and thus resigned and then entered his current company.

Guo Ming was an influential man when he was in the college. He was handsome and good at playing basketball. Due to his character, however, he wasn’t an ambitious man. After graduation, he had always stayed in this company.

Therefore, Li Hongji often called Guo Ming out to have meals together even when he prospered later. Man cannot forget others’ help during his beginning.

“Old Guo, let me tell you something. Dishes in this restaurant are awfully delicious, although there’s something wrong with the boss and some customers.” The latter part of the word was said with a lower voice intentionally.

Meanwhile, Jiang Changxi, Wu Hai and Ling Hong talked and joked together. However eloquently Ling Hong and Wu Hai spoked, there was nothing they could do except being ridiculed when they faced the Three-Lost woman, Jiang Changxi.

“Our Big Beauty Jiang is obviously the charming type.”

“Bullshit. She’s actually the queen type.”

…

Li Hongji handed the exquisite menu to Guo Ming, saying, “Order whatever you want.”

As they came early, they didn’t need to line up. In just a few minutes, however, the formerly empty restaurant had been crowded with people.”

“Ouch! How blackhearted the boss is!” Upon seeing the menu, Guo Ming screamed with an exaggerated tone.

“Hongji, we might as well go to the western restaurant across the street. The price here is really not low. Why are there unscrupulous merchants everywhere?” The tone of Guo Ming was full of dislike.

“Old Guo, you don’t seem to be in good mood. What’s bothering you?” Li Hongji was a smart guy. He instantly recognized Guo Ming’s mood.

“Still, the woman in my family.” Guo Ming was like a rubber ball, the kind that exploded upon being kicked.

“What’s wrong with my sister-in-law?” Li Hongji asked hurriedly.

Li Hong had seen Guo Ming’s wife merely once and had only a vague impression of her. He could only remember that this sister-in-law was also a younger schoolmate of his. She was also a beautiful girl and finally married Guo Ming.

“She likes buying, buying and buying on the shopping sites every day. I know women need cosmetics and new clothes. But is it really necessary for her to buy so much? She had totally forgotten about her own financial economic means.” Guo Ming had quite some resentments, therefore he spoke loudly, “Hongji, do you agree?”

Regarding this matter, Li Hongji also had no idea what to say and hence he had only to try to mediate smilingly, “Absolutely. One should estimate their economic strength before they buy. But in my opinion, women like shopping. As long as it’s not excessive, there’s nothing to worry about. I also bought things on the shopping site for as much as ten thousand RMB once.”

“You are a man. It’s different.” Guo Ming said, “Do you how much she has spent on online shopping this year? I don’t even dare to tell you.”

“How much?” Li Hongji asked and conveniently ordered two bowls of Clear Broth Noodle Soup.

Guo Ming reached out four fingers, “That much, she spent that much.”

Before Li Hongji brought out the number that he estimated to be about 40000, he heard Guo Ming say, “4000, no less than 4000. The end of the year is yet to come, she has spent 4000 only.”

4000 a year…

Li Hongji was dumbfounded. Was he talking about US dollars or Pounds?

Seeing the stunned expression of Li Hongji, Guo Ming said, “What do you think? It’s too much, right? She even bought a pair of shoes yesterday for as much as 300 RMB. I’m too embarrassed to say that. Hongji, don’t tell others about it, please.”

“Well, Old Guo. As far as I know, the salary of my sister-in-law isn’t low. Right?” Li Hongji was too shocked to know what to say.

“She works in a private enterprise as a middle-level manager and has only a salary of a little more than 30000 RMB per month.” Guo Ming said with a manner of contempt.
