However, just as Ye Hao and Su Qing were about to offer tea to Su Chenhong, an unexpected event occurred...
"Hmph! I'm not resigned, Uncle Su, why should he be with Qingqing?" Chen Jun, standing beneath the high platform, said coldly. He liked Su Qing, and of course wouldn't allow anyone to take her away. Besides, Su Qing was already beautiful, and under such conditions, he naturally wanted to compete fiercely.
Even if he couldn't win Su Qing, he wouldn't let Su Qing and Ye Hao have it easy.
"Yes, Uncle Su, we hadn't heard of this person before. For Su Qing's future, please consider carefully!" Zhao Zhixiang appealed from the perspective of Su Qing's happiness.
Chen Lingyun and Zhao Jiangchen merely watched without saying anything, since it felt like using a cannon to kill mosquitoes if the older generation stepped in while the younger ones were arguing.
"Hehe, I don't think he's very decent either. Who knows what his family background is? Without any substantial background, it would be hard to match the Su Family," Sun Cheng, another young master from Flower City, remarked.
"Indeed, Uncle Su, think carefully!" said Chang Xuanbai.
"Well, then tell me, what should he have to marry my daughter?" Su Jinyuan asked with a smile, looking at Chen Jun.
Speaking of Ye Hao's family background, even his Su Family was somewhat lesser. As for Ye Hao's talents, well, there's no competition.
"At least wealth, personal talents, personal assets, strength, fame..." Chen Jun listed them one by one.
At this moment, Ye Hao asked with a smile, "Then tell me, which of those things you mentioned do you have? If you don't have them, on what basis are you criticizing others?"
"Who says I don't have them? Although my family isn't as prosperous as Uncle Su's, it's not something ordinary families can compare to. In terms of personal talent, I've earned three PhDs, have over a million in personal assets, am at the second level of National Martial Arts, and fame? Haha! Just ask around in Flower City, see who doesn't know me, Chen Jun?" Chen Jun spoke proudly of his achievements.
"Oh? Over a million in assets, three levels in National Martial Arts, fame? Sorry, I actually lack none of these," Ye Hao smiled.
"Do you have them? How much do you have?" Chen Jun doubted Ye Hao had as much wealth, especially considering Ye Hao was still in school with Su Qing. How could he have more talent?
"Of course I have them; it's just that I don't use my money for showing off."
"You don't have it! Isn't your excuse ridiculous?"
"Not at all! I don't think what I said was an excuse," Ye Hao replied calmly.
"Without any real capability, what right do you have to be with Qingqing? I don't know if others are convinced, but I, Chen Jun, am the first to not be convinced," Chen Jun challenged Ye Hao.
"I'm the type of person who confronts challenges head-on. Speak up, what are you unconvinced about?" Ye Hao took out a pack of the finest Panda cigarettes and began distributing them one by one.
The ministers of organization and deputy secretaries were all wide-eyed; this was top-class Panda cigarettes!
Their cigarettes were just ordinary Pandas, but Ye Hao had such high-quality goods?
This was something only the top ten elite families in Huaxia, or families with committee member-level stature, could afford!
Chen Jun recognized the cigarettes but thought Ye Hao was showing off fake ones, so he coldly said, "I am unconvinced by your lack of family background yet wanting to marry such a beautiful girl like Qingqing. If you marry her, you won't be able to give her happiness; you'll only make her suffer with you."
"Family background? What kind of background is needed to marry Qingqing?" Ye Hao asked with a smile.
At this point, Chen Lingyun lit one of Ye Hao's cigarettes. He tasted the flavor, realizing it was indeed genuine Panda, far purer than what he was smoking, without any throat irritation.
He quickly gestured to Chen Jun with his eyes not to speak further; Ye Hao's ability to acquire genuine Panda cigarettes indicated his family background couldn't be weak.
Chen Jun didn't notice, and looked coldly at Ye Hao, saying, "At least it should match with Uncle Su's family, shouldn't it?"
"Of course! If your family can match mine, then naturally it's a suitable match," Chen Jun, fearing a reversal of his words, included his family as one eligible to compete.
Upon hearing this, Ye Hao smiled and said, "I won't compare family backgrounds with you; let's switch to another aspect!"
"Why?"
"Because Ye Batian is my grandfather." Ye Hao directly mentioned Ye Batian, instantly shocking Su Chenhong and Chen Lingyun.
"What the hell..."
"Shut up!" Chen Lingyun shouted at Chen Jun from the high platform, leaving no room for doubt.
Chen Jun couldn't understand why his father treated him this way. He saw his father stepping forward and telling Ye Hao, "Nephew Ye, my son is immature, I hope you can forgive him."
How could Chen Lingyun not act this way? Ye Batian! One of the top ten elite families, the youngest old master!
And also a respected elder from the previous generation.
"Hehe, no problem, let's switch to something else!" Ye Hao waved his hand and smiled.
Chen Jun noticed his father's expression and seemed to sense an unusual matter. Once Ye Hao mentioned Ye Batian's name, even Elder Su sat up straighter.
"How about we compare wealth?"
"No need to compare. I have a card here with three billion. Anyone who doubts can check; the password is six zeroes." Ye Hao took out a bank card with a smile.
Chen Jun was stunned. So direct? Could he really have that much?
"I don't believe it," Chen Jun scoffed coldly.
"Hehe, go ahead." Ye Hao was completely unworried, knowing that the maximum anyone could withdraw was three to five million, and more required another password.
Chen Lingyun took Ye Hao's card, pulled out his phone, and checked it. Upon seeing the series of zeroes, he was dumbfounded.
So many zeroes, he counted quietly, 1, 2, 3... 7, 8, 9, three billion!
"This..." Chen Jun counted and was genuinely shocked. Did Ye Hao really have that much money?
Thinking about it, he forced himself to remain calm and scoffed, "Having money doesn't mean anything; you're a nobody, and your name is unknown." After speaking, he tossed the card back to Ye Hao.
Ye Hao chuckled at the remark, asking, "What kind of recognition counts for 'reputation'?"
"At least someone should know you exist and have done spectacular things."
"Oh? Then does punching the son of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission, and running a military-named weapons research lab, count?" Ye Hao quipped lightly.
Chen Jun was truly shocked at this point; hitting the son of the Vice Chairman of the Military Commission? How bold must one be to dare to do such a thing?
"So, is there anything else you want to ask? If not, it proves you are inferior to me, hence what grounds do you have to challenge me?" Ye Hao said with a smile, refusing to stoop to Chen Jun's level.
"Hmph! The truthfulness of these matters is just your one-sided claim..."
"I can testify..." (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, feel free to visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote with recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation. Mobile users please go to m.qidian.com for reading.)
