Chapter 142 Zhou Yujie's First Time Like This...

Zhou Yujie had just finished rinsing her mouth in the bathroom when she saw Zhou Yongming return and immediately presented him with her birthday gift.A pair of black Connolly suede Derby shoes, priced at 7500 yuan.

Zhou Yuyan also took out her gift.

A TOD's wool coat, priced at over twenty thousand!

After Wu Wei had raised her salary to fifty thousand and told her to buy a nicer gift, Zhou Yuyan had advanced next month's salary the very next day and had started browsing in those high-end stores. Searᴄh the Nôvel(F)ire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Eventually, she settled on this wool coat.

Zhou Yongming, wearing the suede shoes gifted by his eldest daughter, wrapped in the wool coat from his second daughter, and with the Rolex gold watch given to him by his son-in-law on his wrist, looked the very image of satisfaction and vitality!

He appeared to have grown several years younger!

This sight filled others with envy.

Li Lanhua and her son Zhou Wenbin were taken aback to see the gifts from the sisters Zhou Yujie and Zhou Yuyan, each more expensive than the last.

Zhou Yujie they could understand, but Zhou Yuyan? How could a young girl just a year out of college afford a coat costing more than twenty thousand?

Zhang Bo, standing beside them, had even more mixed feelings.

He had prepared a birthday present too, a scarf costing over two hundred yuan.

He had hesitated a bit when buying it, but now, he dared not bring it out at all.

Better to keep the scarf for himself.

After all, his blind date today was already a failure.

He glanced at Zhou Yuyan and sighed inwardly.

He had listened to his aunt Liu Fen's advice and turned his sights on Zhou Yuyan.

But his attempts at conversation had been ignored, and later she had given him a disdainful look, complete with an eye roll.

He knew then, it was hopeless.

"Yuyan, are you still with that company from before?"

Zhou Wenbin asked Zhou Yuyan with curiosity, "Buying such an expensive coat, your salary must have increased, right?"

Zhou Wenbin hadn't ridden in the Audi Q8, so he hadn't heard Zhou Yongming boasting about Zhou Yuyan being the CEO, so he started to probe stealthily into her salary income.

After all, he had worked for many years and couldn't afford such an expensive coat, yet his cousin who had just started working could.

This made him, who always thought of himself as the most promising of the Zhou family, felt very uncomfortable.

"Not anymore, I'm back in Jicheng," replied Zhou Yuyan.

"When did you go back to Jicheng?"

Zhou Wenbin expressed his surprise, "The salaries in Jicheng aren't as high as in Beijin, I'm now the second-in-command in the channel department at Langchao, and my salary is just over twenty thousand!"

Zhou Wenbin took the opportunity to boast about his company, his position, and his salary.

Langchao, as one of the leading IT companies in Qilu Province, having a deputy position in the channel department with a monthly salary of over twenty thousand was indeed a big deal.

That was the capital and confidence for Zhou Wenbin's pride.

Hearing Zhou Wenbin's words, Zhou Yongqiang and his wife Li Lanhua both showed relieved smiles.

Even if your son-in-law is rich and I can't compare, my son is far superior compared to your two daughters.

Even if Yuyan has become some CEO, it's just a small food company in its early stages of development—how can it compare to a nationally renowned giant like Langchao?

Zhou Yuyan just smiled, familiar with her cousin's showing-off behavior.

Since childhood, every time he achieved something, he and his parents would make sure the whole village knew about it.

Her and her sister would then be scolded.

He was the exemplary child from someone else's family.

So much of the grievances she suffered growing up were because of this cousin.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yuyan no longer held back and spoke lightly, "It's alright, my current salary is much higher than in Beijin, fifty thousand a month!"

Fifty thousand?!

Zhou Wenbin's face showed shock, and he was utterly stunned.

How could a salary be so high!

It was more than twice his own!

The others were also shocked by the number.

For a moment, everyone's gaze turned to Zhou Yuyan.

Zhou Wenbin's face showed disbelief, "What company are you with, and what position do you hold to have such a high salary?"

Zhou Yuyan smiled slightly, "I'm the CEO at Jicheng Yu Catering Company, the salary was set by my brother-in-law."

Zhou Wenbin showed a dawning realization, "So you're at your brother-in-law's company!"

"Yes, Yuyan is now our company's CEO," Wu Wei interjected, "But I'm not paying her fifty thousand because she is Yujie's sister. Yuyan's abilities justify the fifty thousand, and I've told her, if she can improve the company's performance, I'll keep raising it, even up to five hundred thousand isn't impossible."

At this moment, as both brother-in-law and boss, he naturally had to boost Zhou Yuyan.

Five hundred thousand!!

Upon hearing this figure, everyone was stunned to the point of speechlessness.

Zhou Wenbin's face looked extremely sour.

Fifty thousand had already crushed him completely, let alone five hundred thousand!

No matter whether such a high salary was a matter of ability or relationship, since it was stated as such, he couldn't pick at that point anymore.

This time, he had lost.

Though he felt some unwillingness, he had indeed lost.

And Zhang Bo, standing beside him, felt even more embarrassingly out of place.

No wonder she was so disdainful of him; her salary was so high!

He himself had just been bragging about having a car and a house, now thinking about it made him want to cringe.

With that salary, buying a car or a house would be effortless!

How could she care about his paltry possessions?

"Great, great!"

Zhou Yongming, unable to contain his joy, beamed and looked at Zhou Yuyan, saying, "My daughter is really accomplished, worthy of being Zhou Yongming's child!"
