Chapter 2587: Too Much Boasting

Lin Shufang's face darkened. She was always proud of her son. It was fine if the old lady said that to her, but she actually mocked her son for being useless. Humph, her son is a thousand times more promising than Xiaojie's father!

However, Ye Qingqing reacted faster than her.

"Old lady, your words are boring. It's great to have a PhD. I see that people who have postdocs are not as arrogant as you. And what's wrong with a high school student? My husband is a big boss who started from scratch and manages tens of thousands of employees. How many people does your son manage?"

Ye Qingqing stepped forward and stopped the old lady to argue.

If you dare to mock her man, you must explain it clearly.

There were more people watching. They were all residents of the community, and many of them were Lu Mo's business partners. Of course, their businesses were not as big as Lu Mo's, so when they saw that it was Mrs. Lu arguing with someone, they immediately became excited.

"Yes, Mr. Lu is one of the top ten outstanding young people in our city. Old lady, is your son?"

"Mr. Lu's company is a major taxpayer in our city. Old lady, how much tax does your son pay a year?"

"By the way, which company does your son work for? What business does he do? How much does he earn a month?"

"I know. This old lady's son seems to be a foreign-funded enterprise that produces car brakes. It's called Lift (made up). It's run by Japanese people."

Everyone talked at once, and Ye Qingqing didn't even need to say anything. The old lady was speechless and her face flushed.

"Lift, I know that company. To be honest, the treatment of foreign-funded enterprises is indeed good, but it depends on which country it is from. Companies in Europe are good. Companies owned by Japanese people are not easy to get into, and the salary and treatment will not be too good. Old lady, what level is your son?"

There was a middle-aged man with a big belly. He spoke slowly, but every word was sarcastic. He squeezed the old lady so much that she couldn't even speak. She just wanted to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.

Ye Qingqing was amused. She really thought her son was the best in the world. He was just a PhD. Xiaojie's mother was still polite and courteous even though she was a postdoctoral fellow. She was not like this old lady who was so arrogant.

"Old lady, do you know what our community is called in Pingjiang? This is an elite community. Who can live here is not an elite? Your son is just a PhD. Don't show off. You can find anyone here who is better than your PhD son."

Ye Qingqing spoke mercilessly.

She continued to squeeze: "My husband does have only a high school degree, but ability and education are not proportional. Although my husband's Huanyu Pharmaceutical is not the top one, it is also well-known in the industry. It is thousands of times better than your son who is still working for foreigners. If you want to show off in the future, you'd better go back to your hometown to show off. In the community, your showing off will only make your son embarrassed."

Everyone gasped. Huanyu Pharmaceutical, how could it be well-known? The boss of this company is on the Forbes list.

The net worth is at least tens of billions. The old lady's PhD son is not even qualified to carry shoes for others.

The old lady didn't know Huanyu Pharmaceutical, but she wasn't stupid. She knew from everyone's reaction that the high school student she looked down on was a great figure, and she had hit a wall.

"Mom, what are you doing? Go home quickly!"

A short, middle-aged man with a Mediterranean look came over. It was Xiaojie's father. Xiaojie was quite smart. When he saw that something was wrong, he ran back to find his father who was sleeping late.

Xiaojie's mother glanced at her husband coldly, pointed at the old lady and said, "Ask your good mother what good things she has done. She has brought shame to our family today!"
