Chapter 095: Only In This Way Can We Live Up To This Life
…
At this time, Chen Yu was still stuck on the elevated highway. Ten minutes had passed. The congested traffic had only advanced no more than fifty meters. Bored, Chen Yu opened the window on the driver's side and picked up the key inside the central control box. I lit one of Jinwan cigarettes and a windproof lighter for myself, puffing away smoke while watching the traffic in front of me.
Suddenly, Chen Yu thought that today was the birthday of his ex-father-in-law, Lin Yan. Although he and his daughter had divorced, his ex-father-in-law and mother-in-law had nothing to say to him, so Chen Yu picked up his phone and opened it. On WeChat, he sent a birthday greeting to his ex-law-in-law, "Uncle Lin, happy birthday."
As soon as the message was sent, Chen Yu received a WeChat video call from Su Ruowei.
"Old Chen, you haven't arrived at the Peace Hotel yet?"
As soon as the video was connected, the faces of Su Ruowei and Zhao Xiaoxiao appeared on the screen.
"No, it's stuck on the elevated highway."
After blowing out a smoke ring, Chen Yu said somewhat depressedly.
"Okay, then just wait and see. Xiaoxiao, Yuanyuan and I went shopping."
"Cousin, goodbye."
…
Xingfuli community.
Lin's mother was preparing dinner in the kitchen, and Lin's father, Lin Yan, was preparing the meal at the side. Hearing the WeChat message on his cell phone ring, Lin Yan temporarily put down his work and took out his cell phone to take a look.
When he saw the sentence "Uncle Lin, happy birthday" sent by Chen Yu, Lin Yan's face immediately showed a smile, "Axiu, Xiaoyu still remembers my birthday and sent me a WeChat message to wish me a happy birthday. .”
While speaking, Lin Yan also felt a hint of sadness in his heart, because Chen Yu no longer called him "Dad" as before...
Such a good son-in-law has now become someone else's son-in-law, but who can be blamed for all this? If he is to blame, he can only blame his own daughter...
"Oh, it's a pity that Xiaoyu is no longer our son-in-law."
Mother Lin, who was cooking vegetables, sighed and said.
"By the way, Lao Lin, what time is it now?"
Lin Yan glanced at the time after hearing this, "It's almost six o'clock."
"It's almost six o'clock, so why hasn't Manman come back yet? She probably won't forget your birthday."
Mother Lin said.
"If you forget, forget it. I don't expect her to celebrate my birthday."
Until now, Lin's father still doesn't have a good attitude toward Lin Manman.
Hearing this, Mrs. Lin rolled her eyes at her husband angrily and said, "You are such a smartass. If you really don't want Manman to celebrate your birthday with you, then why did you let me burn your daughter's favorite food?" Here’s the braised pork ribs.”
"Who doesn't like braised pork ribs? I like it too."
Lin Yan said hard.
Seeing this, Mother Lin shook her head and smiled, but said nothing more.
…
Looking up at the Peace Hotel in front of her, Lin Manman took a deep breath and felt uncontrollably excited.
This is the kind of life that Lin Manman really wants to live. She doesn't want to live a mediocre life. She wants to join the upper class society and appreciate the scenery in the eyes of the upper class, so that she can live up to her life.
"Ms. Lin, let's go in."
Ye Bin said that he wanted to hold Lin Manman's hand, but Lin Manman cleverly avoided Ye Bin's hand by taking a step forward.
Ye Bin smiled and didn't care.
He likes the feeling of slowly chasing prey. If he gets it too easily, he will lose a lot of fun.
As soon as they entered the Peace Hotel, the two saw the road leading to the 70th birthday banquet of the chairman of Shenghua Group. According to the road guide, the two quickly arrived outside the banquet hall on the first floor of the Peace Hotel.
At the entrance of the hall, a special area is designated to place birthday gifts from guests. A man and a woman are responsible for statistics here and verify the identities of the guests.
Ye Bin came here and handed over the gift in his hand. The young man in a suit reached out to take it. The OL on the side smiled and asked about Ye Bin's identity.
"I am Ye Bin, and this Miss Lin is my female companion today."
"It turns out to be Mr. Ye. Let me first thank Mr. Ye on behalf of our chairman for coming to celebrate our chairman's birthday."
This gentle-looking OL has already memorized the guest list.
In this way, Ye Bin led Lin Manman into the banquet hall.
There were already many guests in the splendid hall. These guests were all well-dressed and gathered together in groups of two or three, chatting and laughing.
Looking at the scene in front of her, Lin Manman felt excited. Is this the life of the upper class? Sure enough, the atmosphere of the upper class is everywhere. It is really desirable. I really hope that I can quickly integrate into these people and be with them. Get along with the upper-class people, gain their recognition, and become one of them, completing your own class leap.
"Ms. Lin, did you see it? My dad is over there."
Looking in the direction of Ye Bin's finger, Lin Manman saw a bald middle-aged man in a suit. This man was Ye Wulai, the secretary of Ouyang Road Street in Hongkou District. "I saw it."
"You should know the guy next to my dad, right?"
"I know him. He is our district chief Zhou."
Lin Manman was shocked and said.
"When there is a chance, I will take you to meet my dad."
Upon hearing this, Lin Manman's heart suddenly jumped, "No, no, I'm not ready yet..."
At this moment, a fat middle-aged man with a big belly walked towards Ye Bin with a smile on his face, "Mr. Ye, you are here, welcome."
"Director Xia."
Ye Bin shook hands with Xia Tao, and then introduced Xia Tao's identity to Lin Manman beside him, "Ms. Lin, this is Director Xia of the Marketing Department of Shenghua Group that I mentioned to you before. "
"Hello, Director Xia."
At this time, Lin Manman saw that Ye Bin and Xia Tao had such a good relationship, and immediately determined that it was Ye Bin who was secretly operating the Shenghua Group's indefinite suspension of cooperation with Tianyu Garment Factory.
"Oh, Chen Yu, Chen Yu, you really should have listened to my advice and returned to your hometown as soon as possible. If Ye Bin wants to deal with you, you really have no power to fight back..."
This is the voice in Lin Manman's heart at this moment.
The gap between different circles is really too big. The circle Ye Bin belongs to is destined to have Ye Bin's connections that Chen Yu will never be able to match in his life.
"Hello, Mr. Ye, is this Miss Lin your girlfriend? She is so beautiful, just like a big star."
Xia Tao's voice brought Lin Manman's thoughts back to reality, "Director Xia, you misunderstood. I am just Mr. Ye's friend."
"Friends? There's only one word difference between girlfriend and girlfriend. It will happen sooner or later, haha."
…
At this time, Chen Yu was still stuck on the elevated highway. Fortunately, the stopped traffic in front finally started to flow.
Through the navigation software, Chen Yu knew that the previous traffic accident had been dealt with and the road had returned to normal operation. However, because there were too many cars blocked, the flow of traffic was still very slow for a while.
Taking a look at the time, Chen Yu knew that he could no longer arrive at the Peace Hotel before six-thirty.
