"Xiao chen, you've changed your clothes today. You're more energetic than usual. Grandfather almost didn't recognize you."
The clothes on liu chen's body, he could tell at a glance that they were not from an ordinary shop. It should be from fu heng's shop.
However, the clothes in fu heng's store were so expensive, and a suit like this would cost at least thirty thousand yuan. Liu chen, a poor kid, would have spent all his savings buying such a suit.
Thinking of this, he felt sorry for liu chen. In order to dress decently for his birthday, he would have to grit his teeth to buy this dress.
As for the idea of someone buying liu chen for him, he didn't even think about it. He knew better than anyone what kind of person his grandson was. He wasn't the kind of person who would accept others well.
"Really? Is it nice, grandpa?"
He rarely wore formal clothes and had always been worried that he would be disgraced by coming here. But now, it seemed that grandpa was quite satisfied. As long as he was satisfied, he would be happy.
The old man leaned over and whispered into liu chen's ear, "You silly child, this dress isn't cheap. Grandfather is very happy that you're here. You don't have to spend so much money. You need to save a few years to buy such a dress. Grandpa will give you money later, so you can't push it off. Otherwise, grandfather will be angry."
Seeing that he was considering everything for himself, liu chen felt warm and happy, as if he had seen his parents care about him.
But now, he really didn't care about this small amount of money.
Liu chen originally didn't intend to tell the old man about becoming the chairman of the board of directors. In order to prevent him from giving him money, he had no choice but to tell the old man everything so that he wouldn't have to worry about him.
"Grandfather, don't worry. I'm a rich man now. I'm a shareholder of the volkswagen group and also a shareholder of the first grade pharmaceutical industry. So you don't have to worry about me not having any money, and you don't have to give me any money. I'm really rich."
The old man was shocked by him. He remembered that he had not known liu chen for long. At that time, liu chen was a standard poor kid. He had no car, no house, and no savings. Why did he suddenly become a shareholder of the two largest corporations? What had happened to liu chen over the past few months had really surprised him.
"Xiao chen, are you telling the truth?"
Could it be that he deliberately told such a lie to reassure himself? But he didn't seem like a kid who could lie!
"Don't worry, grandpa. I'm really rich. I'm not lying to you. We'll talk about the rest after your birthday. With so many people now, it's not the time to reminisce. You're the main character today, so you can't neglect others."
Although he really wanted to know what had happened to liu chen over the past few months, he knew that he was right. Fortunately, he was by his side and wasn't in a rush for a moment. After his birthday banquet, he would ask slowly.
When the people at the banquet saw liu chen chatting with the old man so happily, they were all very jealous.
To be able to become the grandchild of the old master was such a shameful thing. Their children had once tried to please the old master, but they had not succeeded. How could such an unknown little guy be able to get ahead of them?
While they were jealous, there were also some people who hated liu chen. After all, liu chen did something that they couldn't do.
Among those who hated liu chen, cui mingshi was the most intense.
He was the son of a distant relative of the old master and was considered nie junao's cousin.
Now that he saw how good old master was to liu chen, he was really envious and jealous. He wished he could go up and pull liu chen away and replace him.
"Don't be angry, ming shi."
Just when cui mingshi was angry, his mother noticed something was wrong with him and quickly held his hand to remind him to control his emotions.
When his mother interrupted him, chui mingshi's jealousy was well concealed by him. He turned to look at his mother and asked, "Mother, where did this kid run out of? He stole my position. It's too hateful."
He had worked hard for so many years and finally managed to ease the old master's attitude towards him. Who knew that someone would be the first to get to him? How could he not be angry?
His mother's face was decorated with exquisite makeup. When she heard his question, a fierce look appeared on her face. However, she quickly suppressed it and said gently, "I don't know how this kid's background is right now. It's not suitable for him to go against him, but today is the old man's birthday. Since he's here to visit the old man, he naturally has to prepare some gifts. Let's see whose gift is more pleasing to the old master."
"Of course it's mine."
When it came to the gift, chui mingshi was sure that his gift must be elder tang's favorite. He had put in a lot of effort to get it.
"I've met old master ming before. I wish him more wealth, more wealth, more prosperity, more luck."
Cui mingshi respectfully stood in front of the old man and interrupted his conversation with liu chen.
Although the old man didn't like cui mingshi interrupting his conversation with liu chen, he didn't show it when he thought that he was also here to attend his own birthday party, so he smiled and said, "Ming shi is thoughtful."
All these years, chui mingshi has been trying to curry favor with him. It's not that he doesn't feel anything, but he doesn't like people coming to him with ulterior motives. That kind of emotion isn't pure and isn't what he wants. That's why he has been treating chui mingshi with indifference all these years.
Cui mingshi stood up straight and smiled."
Cui mingshi handed a scroll of calligraphy and painting to the old man.
Liu chen didn't know if it was liu chen's illusion.
He doesn't know him, does he?
This was the first time he had come to Hainan. There was hardly anyone he knew. Where did this person get his hostility towards him? He couldn't figure it out.
The old man ended up opening chui mingshi's gift and a smile appeared on his face.
Although chui mingshi's move wasn't simple, he liked this gift.
"Not bad, not bad. I like this gift very much. Zheng Banqiao's bamboo is still authentic. I'm afraid that ming shi spent a lot of effort on finding this gift. I really like it. Thank you, ming shi."
"Ming shi is very happy to be able to get the old master's favor."
It was no secret that the old man liked calligraphy and painting, so every year on his birthday, the people who came to congratulate him would give him something he liked.
