Chapter 423: This Seat Belongs to Someone That Has the Seniority to Brag (Part Two)
Elder Ye finally pulled Xu Cheng to the front and solemnly said, “Come here, let me introduce you to everyone. This is my bragging right that I brought out today, none of you can mock me for always bragging about the things I did dozens of years ago. Today, I’m going to let him brag for me.”
“Have a seat, we will call you Little Cheng from now on. You won’t mind, right?” the elders smiled and said.
Xu Cheng shook his head. “That should be the case. You can call me however you feel comfortable.”
The elders all laughed again. “Your temper really fits ours.”
After Xu Cheng sat down, the youngsters standing behind the other elders were all a bit unhappy and unconvinced. Their eyes all spread wide open and Old Zhou instinctively said, “Xu Cheng, you are really going to sit just because the old commanders told you to sit? Shameless much?”
“Yeah, are you qualified to sit?” Elder Guo’s grandson Guo Rong also echoed.
Then, Xu Cheng felt like he would be in the wrong whether he chose to sit or stand, so he awkwardly looked at the elders and asked, “How about I take the chair away and pretend to sit then?”
The five elders all burst into laughter again.
After laughing, Elder Zhou turned to his grandson and said, “Little Ming, Grandpa is telling you that in our circle, we brag with our capabilities, but not anyone can brag. You will have to accomplish something great in order to gain bragging rights.”
Zhou Xiaoming nodded and said, “Grandpa, I know, and that’s why I asked why Xu Cheng is qualified to sit down. He’s about the same age as us, and his character is really not too good. Grandpa, it was all thanks to him that last time I got hospitalized. You don’t know how frustrated I was to have nowhere to vent my anger.”
Xu Cheng directly poured two cups of liquor and then got up and passed it to Zhou Xiaoming and the other Elder Guo’s grandson and said, “No discord, no concord. Let’s have a drink and bury the hatchet from when I wasn’t able to control my power last time. How about that?”
Elder Guo’s grandson and Zhou Xiaoming directly snorted. If it was Ye Xiu, then they would forgive him because of Elder Ye, but for someone with no background like Xu Cheng trying to suck up to them at a situation like this, they thought Xu Cheng was daydreaming.
“Is this you apologizing?” Zhou Xiaoming said in disdain.
