41 The Ugly Son-in-law Finally Meets The Relatives (1/2)
Along the journey, Yang Xinyi gave Ye Xiong a brief introduction about the people he would meet later.
Other than meeting her father, Yang Dingguo and her mother, Zhang Lizhen, he would be meeting her aunt and uncle as well.
Her Aunt was Yang Yueru. She was the founder of a certain company in the capital city of China and her net worth was in the billions. On the other hand, her uncle, Tang Jianjun was a top-class official and had a rather strong influence there. This couple, one a merchant and the other an officer, while not invincible, were still people no ordinary person could mess with. They had given birth to a daughter; the stupid Tang Ning.
”Aunt has doted on me since I was young and is easy to talk to, but uncle is no ordinary man. He's a soldier and is used to being in the upper ranks. He's very intimidating and will never change his mind. When you're talking to me, please don't act smart and don't even think about debating with him. Do you hear me?” Yang Xinyi ordered him solemnly.
”I know what to do.”
As the two entered the restaurant's private room, they ordered the dishes and waited for the rest to arrive.
The first to arrive were Yang Xinyi's parents, Yang Dingguo and Zhao Lizhen. The two immediately laid their eyes on Ye Xiong as they entered. It was so obvious that they were analyzing him with their gazes.
Yang Dingguo was roughly fifty years old. He was wearing a pair of spectacles, kept a beard and his hair was all white. He looked intimidating even though he was not angry, and one could tell immediately that he was a businessman.
Beside him was Zhao Lizhen. Although she was close to fifty years old, she looked incredibly young and youthful. She had taken very good care of herself as she looked like she had just reached forty years old.
The two did not look like husband and wife at all. In fact, Zhao Lizhen looked like Yang Dingguo's mistress.
”Father, mother, you've arrived.” Yang Xinyi stood up immediately. Seeing that Ye Xiong was still daydreaming, she hastily kicked him under the table.
It was only then that Ye Xiong stood up and said embarrassingly, ”Father, Mother, please have a seat.”
It was incredibly awkward to call some strangers father and mother!
It was Yang Dingguo and Zhao Lizhen's first time meeting Ye Xiong. They felt rather delighted as Ye Xiong was well presented and incredibly polite.
The couple sat down and Yang Dingguo opened his mouth. ”So, you're Ye Xiong?”
He was the only one there. If he was not Ye Xiong, could it be that Yang Dingguo was Ye Xiong then?
Ye Xiong muttered repeatedly in his mouth, but he put on a smile. ”Yes, I'm Ye Xiong. I'm Xinyi's husband.”
”I heard that you're now the General Manager of Feiyang International Hotel. How is it going?” Yang Dingguo asked.
”It's alright, pretty average,” Ye Xiong replied.
”What's your monthly salary? Is it at least five hundred thousand bucks?” Yang Dingguo continued asking.
”I don't know my monthly salary at the moment.”
Ye Xiong was not a salaryman as his income would depend on the hotel's revenue. If the hotel was not generating any profit, he would not receive a single dollar at all. On the other hand, if the hotel were to generate a huge profit, the profit would be equally split between Du Yuehua and Ye Xiong. Hence, he truly could not answer Yang Dingguo's question when the latter asked him for his monthly salary.
”You're a General Manager and you don't even know your own salary? Are you working for free?” Yang Dingguo harrumphed as he gave him a discriminatory look.
Ye Xiong was holding in at first, but he could no longer hold it in as he was laughed at and looked down upon again and again. He would be seen as an easy target to be bullied.
”Chairman Yang, allow me to ask you then. What's your current monthly salary?” Ye Xiong had even changed how he addressed Yang Dingguo as he was angered.
”Is this how you're supposed to talk to me?” Yang Dingguo was angered. ”I'm the Chairman of Yangshi Group. That's my own company, do I need to even receive a salary?”
