Chapter 757 Taken a Liking to Chen Xuan
The Xu family was utterly stunned.
What kind of society was this, where people still came bearing thorns as an apology, and to a penniless young man at that? Wasn't this some kind of joke?
However, only Xu Feifei's maternal uncle had a face as foul as if he had eaten a fly.
Chen Xuan couldn't help but chuckle. He hadn't expected Wei Changzhe's act of apology to be so dramatic.
"Brother Chen Xuan, will you forgive me?" Wei Changzhe asked nervously.
The wrongdoings he had committed, if inflicted upon any single person, would make it difficult for them to forgive him. He was also worried that Chen Xuan would not forgive him.
"Forgive you?" Chen Xuan chuckled and glanced at Xu Feifei's maternal uncle. "Well, this damn dog," he said, "claimed he wanted to use your connections to find me a job at the Wei family, and demanded I pay him a million yuan! What position do you think I'm suited for working at your Wei family?"
Xu Feifei's uncle's breathing hitched. Wei Changzhe froze, then looked in Chen Xuan's direction and immediately saw Xu Feifei's uncle. He cursed, "Zhao Dagou, you damn dog, how dare you use my name to act so recklessly? Get over here and apologize immediately!"
"Shut up! Who gave you the courage to speak to my uncle like that?" Xu Feifei said arrogantly and angrily.
Half of Xu Feifei's current achievements were due to her uncle, who drove for Mr. Wei Er. For a stranger to dare tell her uncle to roll over, she naturally had to defend him.
"Feifei, shut up!" Before he could finish speaking, Xu Feifei's uncle roared.
Xu Feifei was dumbfounded. "Uncle, I'm speaking up for you, why are you scolding me?" She hadn't expected her uncle to scold her in return, and her mind couldn't process it.
Xu Feifei's uncle could no longer speak. Trembling, he approached Wei Changzhe. "Mr. Wei, I apologize. I didn't know he was your friend..."
Whoosh!
All the Xu family members were shocked.
This man was the boss of Xu Feifei's maternal uncle! No one expected Chen Xuan, who looked like a scruffy bum, to know Mr. Wei Er, let alone for Mr. Wei Er to come bearing thorns as an apology! And they had even asked Xu Feifei's uncle to find him a job? It was truly comical!
"Why are you apologizing to me? Hurry up and apologize to Brother Chen Xuan!" Wei Changzhe roared angrily, wishing he could strangle Zhao Dagou, that scumbag. He had come to beg Chen Xuan for forgiveness, and this guy dared to offend Chen Xuan. Although Zhao Dagou was just a driver, if it implicated him, wouldn't that be disastrous?
Xu Feifei's uncle quickly apologized to Chen Xuan, almost begging him. Chen Xuan looked at Xu Feifei's uncle. "Didn't you want to find me a job earlier? And you wanted me to pay a million? Why aren't you introducing it now?"
Xu Feifei's uncle's face turned red. What was there to introduce? These people knew Wei Changzhe, why would they need him to introduce them to jobs?
Upon hearing this, Wei Changzhe was so angry that he kicked Xu Feifei's uncle to the ground. "Zhao Dagou, you actually did such a thing in my name. From now on, you're fired. Get out!"
"Mr. Wei! Don't! I've been driving for you for ten years, I have labor if not merit!" Xu Feifei's uncle was devastated. This was a very lucrative job, and he could also extort bribes in Wei Changzhe's name. If he were fired now, it would be like losing a treasure chest.
"If you don't get out, I'll have people investigate you and make you spit out all your money."
"I'm going, I'm going now!" Xu Feifei's uncle's face darkened. After speaking, he scurried out of the private room.
"Brother Chen Xuan, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly. Don't worry, he's been fired. Can you forgive me now?" Wei Changzhe put away his fierce demeanor and looked pitifully at Chen Xuan. His attitude towards Chen Xuan was completely different from his attitude towards Xu Feifei's uncle.
"Whether I forgive you depends on your Wei family's performance. If your Wei family performs well in dealing with the Li family and other powerful noble families, I will choose to forgive you." Chen Xuan had suffered some grievances, but he also understood the stakes. However, even so, he wasn't someone to be easily bullied. The Wei family had to show some sincerity.
"Hahaha, Brother Chen Xuan, rest assured. I already have a strategy to deal with the Li family and other powerful noble families, which will surely make them suffer greatly!" Wei Changzhe patted his chest and guaranteed.
"I look forward to seeing your sincerity." Chen Xuan smiled faintly.
"Then I won't disturb you any longer. Brother Chen Xuan, I'll be going to work now!" Wei Changzhe said, then turned and left the private room.
After Wei Changzhe left, the room fell silent. All the Xu family members looked at Chen Xuan in shock, with disbelief in their eyes. Suddenly, Xu Feifei's mother said, "Ahem, it seems my elder brother isn't very capable!" After speaking, she winked at Xu Feifei's father. Xu Feifei's father immediately agreed, "Yes, he has no ability but talks nonsense. It's detestable. Fortunately, he left early, otherwise, I would have kicked him out now."
"Right, right, who says otherwise? He's just a driver and he boasts. Truly shameless!" A large part of the reason Xu Feifei's maternal uncle had high prestige in the Xu family was that he was Wei Changzhe's driver and could secure benefits for his relatives. Now that Xu Feifei's uncle was fired, they naturally didn't care about him.
Another reason was to curry favor with Chen Xuan! Xu Feifei's maternal uncle had clashed with Chen Xuan earlier. Now, they intended to step on Xu Feifei's maternal uncle to win Chen Xuan over. After a round of denigration, Xu Feifei's uncle, his wife, and others couldn't stay any longer and left dejectedly.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were fixed on Chen Xuan. Xu Feifei's mother also looked at Chen Xuan, smiling. "Young man, how old are you this year? Do you have a girlfriend? What's your annual income?" Xu Feifei's father also had a smile on his face, and even Xu Feifei looked at Chen Xuan expectantly. Although Jiang Ning was the main character today, Chen Xuan had undoubtedly stolen all the limelight. If Chen Xuan could become her boyfriend, that would be excellent.
"I..." Chen Xuan was about to speak when he suddenly realized something was wrong. What the heck, it's not me on a blind date, why are you looking at me? Jiang Ning also looked awkward. I'm the main person here!
Chen Xuan quickly said, "I'm sorry, I already have a girlfriend." Hearing this, Xu Feifei was visibly disappointed. Xu Feifei's father laughed. "Men will always find excellent women as girlfriends. You can break up with your girlfriend. Your girlfriend surely doesn't have as good conditions as my Feifei. She's good-looking and a university student!"
"That's right. My Feifei's monthly income is twenty thousand, and she has a BMW. Although it's the lowest model of BMW, it's still a BMW! She's already better than ninety-nine percent of women in the provincial capital." Xu Feifei's mother also praised her generously. Xu Feifei proudly puffed out her chest, looking as if she considered herself outstanding.
"I really have a girlfriend," Chen Xuan said. Xu Feifei's parents' faces darkened, and Xu Feifei also felt embarrassed.
"Chen Xuan, what do you mean by this? Are you looking down on me?" Xu Feifei said discontentedly. There was a long line of men pursuing Xu Feifei. If it weren't for Wei Changzhe's sake, would she have given Chen Xuan this chance? But this guy didn't know how to cherish it, and she was very dissatisfied.
