Chapter 2588: Public Ridicule
As soon as the old lady saw her son, her eyes suddenly turned red and she cried with great grievance. Xiaojie's father darkened his face and looked at his wife dissatisfied. However, he was still sensible and knew that continuing to cause trouble would only make him more embarrassed.
"Mom, let's talk about it when we get home."
Xiaojie's father winked at the old lady and shook his head slightly. He was actually helpless. He heard the last few words of Ye Qingqing just now and guessed that his mother was showing off again.
In fact, he still enjoyed the old lady's show off, especially when he returned to his hometown, the whole village praised him, and even the mayor came to visit his home. The feeling of praising him to the sky was even more satisfying than when he graduated with a doctorate.
After all, the gold content of his doctorate is not high, it is just an ordinary university. Unlike Xiaojie's mother, who is a postdoctoral fellow at Cambridge University, the gold content is high. Therefore, he has a wider range of choices when looking for a job, and his income is several times higher than his. .
This reality made Xiaojie's father feel a little inferior, but he thought he concealed it very well and remained calm on the surface. However, life was the most realistic mirror that reflected evil spirits, which reflected his inner self clearly, and also affected his mother.
"Zhao Wenshan, it's you, is this your mother?" Someone recognized Xiaojie's father and stopped him, with a more teasing tone.
The person who called Xiaojie's father was the fat man who said Lift was not treated well before. He looked at Xiaojie's father with a half-smile, an intriguing smile.
Xiaojie's father, however, looked a little unnatural. This fat man was his former colleague and also worked at Lift. He was also his subordinate, so the relationship was not very harmonious.
However, the fat man resigned a few years ago. Before leaving, he invited him to partner in a company, but Xiaojie's father, who is conservative by nature, refused. At that time, Xiaojie's mother actually supported him in starting a business, but Xiaojie's father was afraid of losing money, and he He is very satisfied with the status quo, with an annual salary of one million, and he is considered a master. Why would he bother to start from scratch?
Furthermore, starting a business means the possibility of failure. If he fails, everything will be reduced to zero. He has reached middle age and has lost the aggressiveness of his youth. He just wants to live a comfortable life, so there is no need to start a business.
But I didn't expect that the fat man had only been three or four years old, and the company was booming, and he also became a customer of Lift Company. He used to be his subordinate, but now he is a customer of the company. His status was instantly different, and Xiaojie's father was filled with satisfaction. It didn't feel good, and now that he saw that the fat man was still a resident of the community, he felt even worse.
Xiaojie's father smiled unnaturally, said hello, and wanted to take his mother home.
But the fat man said again: "Old Zhao, we are old friends. I have to talk about something. Your mother's habit of talking nonsense needs to be corrected. We can't control her daughter-in-law, but Lu I didn’t recruit your mother, right? It’s not interesting for your mother to be a high school student. Even if Mr. Lu has a high school education, he is still a role model for our generation. How can your mother, an old lady from the countryside, belittle you?”
"That's right, Mr. Lu keeps a low profile. Otherwise, with his wealth, he can get a few honorary doctorates by just donating a little money. And I heard that Kyoto University invited Mr. Lu to give lectures many times, but he was rejected by Mr. Lu, saying He is not qualified."
"Mr. Doctor, Kyoto University probably didn't invite him to give lectures, right?"
Others couldn't stand the old lady's arrogance, and she was not very polite in her words. Xiaojie's father's face was blue and red, and he couldn't stand it anymore, and he complained too much about the old lady in his heart.
It’s okay to have a good performance in my hometown. Countryside people are ignorant anyway. The people living in this community are all elites. What should the old lady do?
No trouble for him!
Xiaojie's mother snorted coldly and dragged Xiaojie home. She was still hesitating about whether to get a divorce, and no one could help her with her advice.
