Chapter 326: Chapter 326: Learning to Bark_1
Upon witnessing such a scene, Zhu Ping was dumbfounded, but he was even more panicked.
With his status, such a public debacle could affect not just him alone.
It was the entire Pingfeng Group that was at stake.
Casting a complicated glance at Ye Fei, Zhu Ping stood up and left the table to make a long phone call on the balcony.
At the dining table.
Su Wanli and Liang Xin wore anxious expressions.
"Explain how this happened, how could it be such a coincidence that something like this occurs at this time?"
The two looked at Ye Fei with suspicion.
Could this incident really be related to this loser?
Just as they entertained that thought, they immediately dismissed it.
Impossible, impossible!
What status does this loser have, how could he possibly know so many popular celebrities?
And to have those celebrities risk ruining their careers and even facing the risk of jail, to slander little Zhu and report him online?
He simply couldn’t have that much influence!
It must be a coincidence!
Yes, just a coincidence!
But Su Yueru didn’t think it was entirely coincidental.
After all, her husband had too many unbelievable incidents occur to him.
Add to that his vague connections with some influential figures, so this incident was definitely not as simple as a mere coincidence.
As for Little Ye, he was even more convinced that his dad was a formidable figure.
Not only could he get the Miaoyin Venerable to write songs for him, but he could also command so many top celebrities to furiously lambast Zhu Ping online.
This was simply the power of a god who could do anything!
Half an hour later, Zhu Ping returned to his seat with a dejected face.
The older couple quickly asked with concern, "How is little Zhu? The incident just now hasn’t affected you, right?"
Zhu Ping waved his hand dismissively, "Such a trifling matter, what impact could it have on me. It’s nothing, just a drizzle."
"Not to hide it from you elders, the public relations team under my command is of top international standard! No matter how big the issue, they can settle it in minutes once they take action!"
His face feigned easiness, but his heart was already extremely bitter.
Although the trending topic had been settled quickly,
the hundreds of millions in real gold and silver spent on it were painfully tangible.
Especially the damage to the group’s reputation and credibility was even more immeasurable in monetary terms.
He gazed at Ye Fei for a moment.
At first, he also thought this romantic rival was behind the trouble.
But after calming down and thinking it over,
could a worthless son-in-law possibly have such great influence?
Maybe he inadvertently offended some powerful figure and got tripped up by someone in the dark.
"Little Zhu’s ability is truly strong! To celebrate this narrow escape, let’s have a toast!"
Su Wanli busied himself with proposing a toast.
Llittle Ye interrupted, "Wait a minute, wait a minute! Didn’t uncle just say, whoever loses has to bark like a dog? Now that uncle has lost, he should keep his word! Hee hee..."
Ugh...!
The innocent word of a child once again plunged the atmosphere into awkwardness.
Liang Xin quickly stepped in to smooth things over, "Go on, go on, kids shouldn’t meddle with adult affairs. It was just a joke, can’t take it seriously!"
Su Wanli chimed in as well, "Exactly! Besides, even if people slandered your uncle Kong online, it has nothing to do with your dad, it wasn’t him who did it. So it can’t count as his win, right?"
"Grandpa and grandma, you are being unreasonable! Big liars! Hmph!"
Little Ye pouted, crossed his arms, and looked unhappy.
Su Yueru, who usually knew better, smiled gracefully, "Kids don’t understand, Zhu Ping, please don’t take it to heart."
Zhu Ping was about to show his appreciation,
when Su Yueru gently chided Little Ye, "It’s impolite and uncultured for others not to keep their word. But as a younger family member, you absolutely cannot casually criticize your elders, understand?"
Little Ye nodded firmly, "Yes! Little Ye understands!"
Although it seemed like she was educating Little Ye, it was clear that she was taking a dig at Zhu Ping.
Ye Fei listened with a silent chuckle.
He thought to himself that he had not realized his wife could also have such a mean streak.
Zhu Ping’s face flushed with embarrassment at the veiled ridicule.
Grinning and bearing it, he said, "Uncle and auntie, as a company president, would I deceive a child? I lost fair and square, and I am forthright, my word is my bond!"
With that, he put down his wine glass.
"Woof!"
"Woof woof!"
His imitation of a dog’s bark was surprisingly accurate, leaving Su Wanli and Liang Xin with dumbfounded expressions.
Su Yueru was trying hard to suppress her laughter until her stomach hurt.
Ye Fei remained indifferent, not showing any amusement,
but the innocent Little Ye didn’t care about all that.
He was laughing so hard that he nearly choked.
Zhu Ping was deeply humiliated,
never expecting that a coincidence could cause him to slip up in front of a worthless son-in-law.
He couldn’t bear it.
After a few drinks, seeing Su Yueru’s bare, attractive neck, he suddenly remembered the gift he had brought for her today.
So he turned around and took out a neatly packaged, exquisite gift box from his bag.
"Uncle and auntie, I almost forgot, apart from the nutritional supplements I bought for you, I specifically brought a gift for Yueru today."
"Oh really?"
"Goodness, Kong! You’re being too extravagant!"
The older couple, upon seeing the packaging box, immediately surmised that the gift inside must be expensive, and their eyes lit up.
The more they reacted like that, the more smug Zhu Ping became.
Glancing at Ye Fei, he said proudly, "What expense? It’s just a bespoke Cadi necklace, just over a million."
