Chapter 312 Complex Human Nature

"Brother Yan, you are here."

Cheng Hao greeted him warmly.

"Hello, Gao Yan."

Tang Ye also greeted him with a smile.

Gao Yan responded to Tang Ye and started chatting with Cheng Hao.

However, Cheng Hao still had to receive guests, so the two did not chat much.

He was not familiar with Tang Yubin, so he stuffed the gift box containing the jade bracelet into Cheng Hao's hands and asked him to pass it on.

Tonight's birthday dinner was a buffet.

Now, most of the guests have arrived. Cheng Chunhui and Tang Yubin and his wife are holding red wine glasses in their hands, standing with a group of people and talking loudly.

Gao Yan's arrival did not attract anyone's attention. He took a glass of juice from the table, picked some snacks and came to a corner of the banquet hall, eating quietly.

About ten minutes later.

After eating the snacks, Gao Yan looked around the entire banquet hall curiously.

The guests in the hall were chatting in groups of three or two.

The most people were on Cheng Chunhui and Tang Yubin's side.

It can be seen that the couple is very proud now, with a look of high spirits on their faces.

Moreover, Tang Yubin likes to use gestures to emphasize his tone when speaking.

"To be honest, Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant can be as big as it is today, thanks to my son."

Suddenly, Tang Yubin changed the subject: "If he hadn't insisted on helping a poor classmate and spent 500,000 to buy the hot pot base recipe in his hands, there would be no Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant today. But my son is also very kind. After the first hot pot restaurant opened, he gave the poor boy 30% of the shares!"

Hearing this, the people around praised Cheng Hao for not only having vision, but also being loyal and righteous, and saying that good deeds will be rewarded.

Hearing the praise from everyone, Tang Yubin's smile became brighter and brighter, and he continued: "My boy is indeed kind and righteous. Later, after founding the company, he invited that poor classmate to join. Unfortunately, poor people are poor, and their vision is too short-sighted. They simply did not accept my son's kindness. Otherwise, he would be the major shareholder of our Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant today."

Speaking of this, Tang Yubin's face could not help but show some sarcasm.

And everyone also cooperated with Tang Yubin to constantly belittle Gao Yan.

Although they were more than ten meters apart and the banquet hall was noisy, Gao Yan still heard Tang Yubin's words clearly.

Suddenly, his face became a little ugly!

"This Tang Yubin seems to have a greater hostility towards me?"

Gao Yan frowned, as if he had not offended her?

"Could it be...?"

Gao Yan thought of a possibility. He had reminded Cheng Hao to beware of Yang Yujiang's fraud.

After Cheng Hao told his analysis to his parents, they did not take it to heart. Not only that, they probably hated him.

"What a human heart!"

Thinking of this, Gao Yan smiled bitterly.

Suddenly, he felt that staying here was meaningless.

So he stood up from his seat and walked out of the banquet hall.

Since Tang Yubin was already dissatisfied with him and hated him, why should he stay and continue to listen to Tang Yubin's ridicule?

If she was not Cheng Hao's mother, Gao Yan would have made her live a life worse than death based on those words.

"Brother Yan, where are you going?"

Seeing Gao Yan coming out, Cheng Hao, who didn't know the inside story, asked with a smile on his face.

"I suddenly encountered something urgent and had to rush to deal with it. Sorry, Haozi, please apologize to your mother on my behalf!"

Gao Yan said in a calm tone.

"Is it urgent?" Cheng Hao asked again.

"Very urgent!"

Gao Yan nodded seriously.

"Then I'll take you there!" Cheng Hao chased after him: "Oh, come on, I wanted to have a few drinks with you tonight!"

"Okay, go back, you still have to entertain guests!"

Just as the elevator arrived at this floor, another guest arrived.

Cheng Hao hurriedly greeted them warmly: "Uncle Wang, Uncle Ma, you are here, please come in!"

Gao Yan waved to Cheng Hao and stepped into the elevator.

After sending the guests to the banquet hall, Cheng Hao returned to the door.

"Xiao Hao, I feel that Gao Yan's sudden departure is a bit strange!" Tang Ye said thoughtfully.

"No way, didn't he leave in a hurry?"

Cheng Hao frowned slightly: "He is not blaming me for neglecting him, but it shouldn't be, Brother Yan is not such a stingy person!"

"Well, I'll go in and ask!"

Tang Ye entered the banquet hall, and then asked two waiters, and learned that Gao Yan did not receive a call before leaving.

This deepened her suspicion.

With doubts, she came to the second aunt and second uncle who were surrounded by the crowd. When she heard the words from the second aunt, Tang Ye's face suddenly changed.

Because her second aunt was still mocking Gao Yan.

"Did Gao Yan choose to leave because he heard what the second aunt said?"

But Gao Yan was clearly a long distance away from the second aunt just now, and he couldn't hear what the second aunt said clearly?

Thinking of this.

She decided to check the surveillance of the banquet hall.

Under Tang Ye's means, the hotel quickly agreed to her request to check the surveillance.

Her main attention was on Gao Yan.

She checked the video before Gao Yan left several times, and found that Gao Yan suddenly changed color after eating snacks and looking at the whole banquet hall.

Then he frowned again and got up and left.

"It seems that Gao Yan should have heard what the second aunt said!"

Tang Ye sighed lightly.

Knowing that the second aunt had completely offended Gao Yan, she originally wanted to use this dinner to build a relationship with Gao Yan.

After all, the price of jadeite is still rising.

If she can cooperate with the Qin family with the help of Gao Yan's relationship with the Qin family, it will be of great benefit to her company.

Unfortunately, she didn't even have time to talk to Gao Yan.

He left.

"Should I tell Xiao Haozi?"

Tang Ye hesitated. To be honest, she also felt that her second aunt seemed a bit ungrateful.

If it weren't for Gao Yan's recipe, there would be no Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant today.

Although Cheng Hao spent money to get the recipe.

But that little money, how can it compare to the true value of this hot pot base recipe.

As for Gao Yan not knowing the value of the recipe, that's nonsense!

Even if he didn't know it at the beginning, he should have known it when Brothers Hot Pot Restaurant became popular later, right?

But Cheng Hao invited Gao Yan to invest again, and he still refused.

At that time, Gao Yan made a lot of money by gambling on stones.

So, he didn't invest because he didn't want to take advantage of Cheng Hao, or maybe he looked down on this little benefit.

And she also knew that Yang Yujiang had tried to get the hot pot base recipe many times, but Gao Yan rejected it.

Suddenly.

Tang Ye felt worried.

Although they had signed a contract for the transfer of the recipe with Gao Yan, what if Gao Yan held a grudge because of what happened today and sold the recipe to other hot pot restaurants?

Not to mention the 100 million in compensation.

Such a valuable recipe, even if there was a 100 million penalty, they would still rush for it.

Thinking of this.

She couldn't sit still, and hurried to find Cheng Hao and told him her guess.

After listening.

Cheng Hao was very angry.

He was about to rush into the banquet hall, but was stopped by Tang Ye: "Calm down, there are so many people in the banquet hall now, are you going to go to your mother to make trouble now?"

Cheng Hao took a deep breath to calm himself down.

"Don't worry, I won't make trouble with her, I just go to her to verify it!"

"Don't be impulsive!"

Tang Ye reminded again.

Entering the banquet hall, Cheng Hao saw his mother holding a glass and toasting everywhere. He walked up quickly: "Mom, come with me, I have something to tell you!"

"What can't I say when I go back?"

"It's very important!"

"Okay then!"

The mother and son came to a corner of the banquet hall, and then Cheng Hao stared at his mother and said: "Mom, have you ridiculed Brother Yan in front of everyone before?"

"It seems so, I just said it casually!"

Tang Yubin said casually.

"Mom, how could you do this!"

Cheng Hao asked angrily. Now, he was sure that his cousin's analysis was true. Brother Yan probably left in anger because he heard his mother's ridicule.
