Chapter 479: Chapter 478: Secretary Liu?

Moreover, he still didn’t know how Xiao Yi suddenly came up with the ten million, but deep down, he still felt that Xiao Yi was not a wealthy person.

He had known Xiao Yi for so long, yet he had never heard that Xiao Yi was a rich man! And Xiao Yi’s behavior also didn’t reflect that of a rich man!

"Boss, I can’t take this money,"

It took a while before Fatty Tang regained his senses and said definitively.

"Take it. Consider it an investment in you and Li Ling. When you two have a fortune of several hundred million later on, just pay me back with interest,"

Xiao Yi glared at him and then smiled.

"This...."

Hearing that Xiao Yi really intended to give the ten million to that Li Ling, Tang’s Father and Mother were shocked once more. Looking at the deep bond between Fatty Tang and Xiao Yi and recalling their previous suspicions about Xiao Yi, complex expressions involuntarily appeared on their faces.

But... could they really accept this girl named Li Ling?

Even with the ten million, so what? Was that girl truly a suitable match for Tang Feng?

Tang’s Mother thought about the purpose behind Xiao Yi giving the ten million and struggled internally. She always felt that Li Ling wasn’t quite right for Tang Feng. Fortunately, there was another condition that could delay things. Remembering there was another condition, she breathed a sigh of relief and was about to speak.

"Eh, Uncle Liu, why are you here too?"

Just as Tang’s Mother was about to speak, Xiao Yi suddenly noticed Liu Yuan approaching with a group of people, and a surprised smile appeared on his face as he called out.

"Young Master Xiao, you’re here too!"

Liu Yuan had been talking to a group of people, but upon hearing Xiao Yi’s voice, he looked up with surprise and immediately headed over with a smile on his face. After greeting Xiao Yi, he turned his head towards the Tang family and smiled, "These people, are they your friends?"

"Eh? These two, they seem familiar?"

When Liu Yuan’s gaze fell on Tang’s Father and Mother, he showed a hint of surprise.

"Liu... Secretary Liu..."

At that moment, Tang’s Father and Mother were almost in shock, their eyeballs practically falling out. Wasn’t this Secretary Liu from the Jianguo Group? A person they couldn’t even get an appointment with! And now he was appearing before them, smiling and talking to them – something they had never even dreamed of. Although they were considered big bosses with a certain social status in many people’s eyes, being called "Boss Tang" in front of and behind closed doors, they were nothing but small fry in the presence of the Jianguo Group!

It took them a moment to recover before they excitedly said,

"Uncle Liu, let me introduce you. This is my classmate, Tang Feng, my best friend from Z University. These are his parents."

Xiao Yi hadn’t expected that Liu Yuan would have such clout. Just moments ago, in his presence, Tang’s Father and Mother, who had been all puffed up with arrogance, suddenly seemed unable to speak properly. He shook his head internally, gaining a deeper understanding of their character. Yet he bore no contempt for them; after all, they were businessmen, merely more typical members of society.

After shaking his head with a silent exclamation, he still pointed at them, introducing them once more.

"Oh, hello, Classmate Tang, very pleased to meet you. I’ve heard Young Master Xiao mention you. In school, you’ve really taken great care of Young Master Xiao."

When Liu Yuan heard the word "best" in Xiao Yi’s description, a face full of exceedingly warm smiles immediately appeared, and he stretched out his hand toward Fatty Tang.

"I..."

Fatty Tang had never been through such a display, and moreover, his mind had been completely muddled by the sequence of events involving Xiao Yi. Young Master Xiao? What’s going on here?

Seeing Secretary Liu reach out his hand, he could only turn a deep red and extend his hand as well, allowing Liu Yuan to grasp it. He didn’t know how to respond, his expression filled with extreme awkwardness and bewilderment.

"Fatty, haven’t I told you I live at my relatives’ place? This gentleman is my relative. Sorry I never mentioned it to you before. Just call him Uncle Liu."

Xiao Yi saw the utterly clueless look on Fatty Tang’s face and quickly laughed apologetically, then explained to him.

"Uncle... Uncle Liu, hello!"

Only then did Fatty Tang react as if waking from a dream, his face still beet red as he spoke. However, faced with the evidently distinguished Liu Yuan, he still felt great pressure, his speech nervous and stammering.

"Good, good, hehe."

Liu Yuan could sense Fatty Tang’s nervousness and didn’t mind it, offering a smile before letting go of Fatty Tang’s hand. He then turned his head and looked back at Fatty Tang’s parents, his face revealing a thoughtful expression before he suddenly slapped the back of his head and said, "I remember now, you must be from Tang’s Construction, right? You’ve also submitted a bid for our indoor renovation project at New Coast, haven’t you?"

"Yes, yes, Secretary Liu, I am the person in charge of Tang’s Construction. My name is Tang Feilong. You actually remember me!"

Upon hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Fatty Tang’s father instantly brightened up with excitement, his voice trembling, his face showing his nervousness as he eagerly nodded in agreement.

"Oh, hello. Unexpectedly, it’s like flooding into the Dragon King’s Temple, family not recognizing family, hehe. I’ve reviewed your tender, and it’s quite good. Your company’s strength and credibility are also commendable. Prepare the specific materials again, and we will have another look and consider how we might cooperate,"

Liu Yuan nodded, his face wearing a slight smile.

"Yes, yes, we will certainly prepare them conscientiously... Thank you so much, Secretary Liu! Thank you so much, Secretary Liu!"

Upon hearing Liu Yuan’s words, Tang’s Father was completely astounded. He never imagined that this matter, which he thought was hopeless, could still have a glimmer of hope, even momentarily forgetting how to reply to Liu Yuan. It was Tang’s Mother who reacted more quickly, moving forward with immense gratitude and saying to Liu Yuan,

"There’s no need to be so polite. We’ll all be one family from now on, hehe."

Liu Yuan chuckled and then turned his head to Xiao Yi, "Young Master Xiao, there are some other clients over there. If there’s nothing else, may I head over now?"
