Chapter 128: Chapter 128: Uncle, Can’t You Read?_1
The woman sitting next to Zhao Qiming was called Ye Mei, Ye San’s daughter.
Ye Mei was holding back her annoyance, thinking she couldn’t let Ye Fei steal the limelight, and promptly gave Zhao Qiming an elbow.
Zhao Qiming immediately stood up and raised his cup to Ye Fei from a distance, "Big brother, hello, I’ve just arrived, and I’m toasting to you first."
Right after that, he chugged the tea in one gulp.
Ye Fei didn’t stand up, responding with a smile instead.
But this act undeniably made Ye San and his daughter feel even more uncomfortable.
Zhao Qiming drank the tea, smacked his lips a couple of times, obviously dissatisfied.
"Big brother, don’t make fun of me, this tea was bought by me, from a street stall, it’s cheap, certainly not comparable to the tea bricks you buy."
All eyes in the room turned to them, knowing that Zhao Qiming, the big boss, was about to speak up.
In the village, there was already a rumor that Ye San’s daughter had married a rich man who did business in Shang Hai.
Now, seeing Zhao Qiming in his suit and polished appearance, it was clear he was not ordinary.
Zhao Qiming confidently said, "Speaking of tea bricks, while doing business in Shang Hai, I came across them and got to know them quite well."
"Let me tell everyone, a good tea brick can cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands. If it’s from Feng Xiang Ji, a few hundred thousand is a minor matter!"
As soon as these words came out, they immediately sparked a buzz of conversation among everyone.
What could be so expensive? Worth hundreds of thousands?
Zhao Qiming took a glance at the tea brick on the table and chuckled lightly, "Big brother, don’t blame me for speaking out of turn, but with tea bricks, the more expensive, the better."
"Brands with history have good quality, richer flavors, and as for those tea bricks that cost a few hundred each... to put it bluntly, they’re a bit lacking."
At this point, Zhao Qiming’s face was full of disdain.
The Ye family father and daughter also sneered.
Everyone at the table was stunned.
Zhao Qiming was obviously looking down on Ye Fei’s tea brick.
However, when such words were spoken by the big boss, no one felt it was inappropriate.
Instead, they were happy to see Zhao Qiming overshadow Ye Fei.
Ye Fei and Su Yueru exchanged glances, both confused.
Zhao Qiming continued, "When giving gifts to the elderly, we should always give the best."
"While doing business in Shang Hai, I got to know the owner of Feng Xiang Ji, and I’ll ask him to send over a few hundred-thousand-worth tea bricks to pay respects to Grandpa!"
As soon as these words were spoken, even Ye Guangzhi found it hard to sit still.
Tea bricks worth hundreds of thousands?
In his life of facing the soil and turning his back on the sky, when had he ever seen that much money?
Ye San began to feel proud, yet pretended to say, "Qi Ming, sit down, stop talking nonsense, you’re making your big brother lose face, understand, this child!"
"Exactly, Qi Ming," Ye Mei chuckled lightly, "you can afford it, but big brother might not, aren’t you making him feel awkward?"
Zhao Qiming seemed to realize his mistake and hastily laughed apologetically.
"Tch! It’s all my fault, I talked too much!"
"It’s just that when doing business in Shang Hai, speaking with those big bosses about anything, please don’t get angry with me, big brother!"
The few took turns, essentially leaving Ye Fei hanging in mid-air.
The crowd was all waiting to see a joke, holding back their laughter at the moment.
Ye Fei smiled without a word, not intending to take the bait.
But just then, Little Ye burst into laughter.
"Uncle, what are you talking about? Have you ever seen Feng Xiang Ji’s tea bricks?"
Zhao Qiming’s face froze, not realizing he’d been questioned by a little girl.
Someone immediately laughed and said, "Little girl, don’t talk nonsense, Boss Zhao does business in Shang Hai. What hasn’t he seen?"
Zhao Qiming promptly said, "Little Ye, uncle has indeed seen Feng Xiang Ji’s tea bricks, I even know the owner of Feng Xiang Ji!"
But at this moment, Little Ye became confused.
She timidly went up to the tea brick and started to unwrap it.
"That’s not right, Dad said the tea brick we bought was from Feng Xiang Ji..."
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Then, laughter erupted throughout the hall.
"Little Ye, what did you just say? Your family bought a Feng Xiang Ji tea brick?"
"You’re so young and already learning to lie, Little Ye, didn’t you hear? Boss Zhao said those cost several hundred thousand!"
"Yeah, where would your dad get that much money? That piece is even more expensive than the BMW he drives!"
Little Ye ignored them and continued unwrapping the packaging.
She held the beautifully packaged tea brick high, right in front of Zhao Qiming.
"Uncle, I can only recognize the ’Feng’ character here, I don’t know the other two."
"Uncle, can you help me read them?"
Little Ye looked up with innocent, wide eyes.
She truly couldn’t read.
Dad said it was a tea brick from Feng Xiang Ji, to be bought as respect for great-grandfather.
Her Dad wouldn’t lie!
But at this moment.
Zhao Qiming’s face obviously stiffened.
Upon that tea brick, there were clearly three characters written: "Feng Xiang Ji."
Feng Xiang Ji?
At that moment, everyone in the room could see those three characters.
Was it really Feng Xiang Ji?
Tea bricks worth hundreds of thousands?
Little Ye still held the tea brick aloft, looking confused at Zhao Qiming, "Uncle, what’s wrong?"
"Don’t you recognize these characters, either?"
Zhao Qiming’s face was so flushed he could hardly maintain his composure.
Ye Fei had been watching from the side, finding the whole situation amusing.
