Chapter 399
Fade Chen chuckled and he did not say anything. Lily Wei, who was next to Tom Wei, glared at him.
Tom did not dare to speak any further. When everyone had arrived, Madam Wei began to ask everyone
to order. The dishes were served thereafter. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Auntie Cao on
the opposite side glanced at Lily. Then, she took the initiative to start the topic of yesterday’s blind date
and said, "Lily, your mother and I have known each other for 30 years." "I heard from your mother that
you are not young anymore and you haven’t gotten married yet. So, I arranged for my son Wellington
to meet you. After all, we are old friends. Let’s become familiar with each other and make friends with
each other," Auntie Cao said. Lily didn’t know how to respond, so she could only nod her head with a
fake smile. Madam Wei’s expression was unpleasant at this moment. At that time, she was anxious
about her daughter’s marriage. She got to know that Auntie Cao’s son was still single and his
background was not bad. Therefore, she thought that she would give him a chance and arranged this
blind date. However, she did not expect that the blind date would end in an unpleasant manner. At this
time, Madam Wei picked up a cup of tea and said to Auntie Cao, "Lily made a mistake in yesterday’s
blind date. Wellington, please forgive us and take this cup of tea as our apology." Wellington Du quickly
said, "Auntie, you are too courteous. Yesterday’s matter is nothing really. Maybe Lily and I had some
misunderstandings." At this time, Auntie Cao’s eyes fell on Fade, and her eyes were slightly fierce. She
said, "This young man, he was at Lily’s blind date yesterday. I heard that he left with Lily in the end. I
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdon’t know if you guys-" Hearing this, Madam Wei couldn’t help but look at Lily and Fade with a dim
look in her eyes. Lily knew that Auntie Cao was going to put the target on Fade, so she immediately
explained, "This is Fade, my colleague and friend. I happened to meet him on the street yesterday."
"Colleague, friend!" Auntie Cao said. She thought about Lily’s words and then continued to look at
Fade, saying, "Since you are Lily’s colleague, you should also work at Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc.
What position do you have ?" Fade acted like he didn’t hear Auntie Cao’s insinuations. He took a sip of
water and said lightly." I’m working at Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc’s medical room." "The medical
room!" Auntie Cao’s eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a
disdainful smile, and then she said, "The medical room, don’t know what department that is at Fei
Enterprises Holdings Inc, and what is its status? Mr. Chen, what level are you at in the medical room,
and how much salary do you earn a month? Fade’s expression still did not change. He said, "There are
only two people in the medical room. I’m the superior. A month, about 7,000 yuan!" "7,000 yuan!"
Auntie Cao said exaggeratedly. "Oh my, this salary is not bad for ordinary people. However, Lily is an
elite white collar worker, and she has such an important position as the Head of Human Resources
Department. Her monthly salary should be more than 70,000 yuan. Including bonus, it’s almost
1,000,000 yuan a year. The gap between both of you is a bit large!" "Sister Lily is a senior executive, so
it’s normal for her to get a high salary," Fade said lightly. Seeing that this guy did not hear her sarcasm
at all, Auntie Cao could not help but feel that this situation was a little tricky. She thought in her heart,
"This guy is either stupid or cunning, pretending not to care about my words and concealing his
embarrassment." "However, even if you are cunning, you are only in your twenties." she thought to
herself. How could he outwit an old fox like her ? Thinking of this, Auntie Cao smirked a little, and then
started to brag about her son, saying, "Mr.Chen is right. It’s normal for senior executives to have a high
salary. For example, my son, Wellington, works in an international company. Although he is not at the
senior level, his salary is great, which is more than one million yuan a year. Moreover, the leaders also
value him very much. It’s not a problem for him to be promoted directly to a higher level next year."
"Mom, it’s not a big deal. I have also invested in a friend’s company, which is worth tens of millions of
yuan. As for the international company, it is just a part-time job. I do it because I’m interested in it."
Wellington said. His expression was modest at the moment, but his words were boastful. If an ordinary
person met Wellington, who was an elite executive with an annual salary of one million yuan, with
investments in companies, he would definitely be popular. But unfortunately, Wellington had bumped
into the Wei family and Fade. The Long Enterprise of the Wei family was a group worth billions of yuan.
In the Wei family’s eyes, Wellington’s money was nothing at all. As for Fade, this sum was not worth
mentioning. Quin Lin’s Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had already developed into a large company worth
ten billion yuan. Moreover, Fade was powerful not only because of his money, but also because of his
strength and status in the martial-arts circle. With his current identity as the number one expert in Long
City, he was always the most powerful person wherever he went. As for money, it was just a number for
him. Therefore, the rest of the people on the table almost had no reactions on their faces and they
remained calm when they were facing Wellington and his mother’s arrogance. Seeing this, Auntie Cao
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcould not help but frown slightly. Then, she pushed her son gently under the table. Wellington
understood her gesture and nodded gently. Then, he leaned to one side and took out a small gift box
from the leather bag beside him. He stood up, stretched out his hands affectionately with the gift in
front of Lily and said, "Lily, today is your birthday. This is my birthday present for you. It’s a little gift
from me. Please accept it." While speaking, Wellington seemed to be worried that Lily wouldn’t know
the value of the gift, so he opened the gift directly, revealing a delicate platinum necklace. He held it
with both hands and introduced in excitement, "This necklace is called the Platinum Star. It was
designed by the famous designer Mr. Miguel. I asked for the help of the senior management of my
company, to go specifically to the UK to look for him to design this." "Mr. Miguel used to design jewelry
for the Duchess Kate in England. In our country, there are only 20 jewelries designed by him. There are
five such items that are considered most precious. One of them happened to be in Chief Tai’s
collection. Chief Tai is owner of Tai Grand Hotel Wellington said. Then, he said again, " specifically
asked Chief
Tai to appraise this necklace before I came here. Although there is still some differences with Chief
Tai’s Heart of Stars’, it is definitely a masterpiece of Mr. Miguel." After introducing so much in one
breath, Wellington immediately gazed at Lily with an expression of deep affection. He held the necklace
with both hands and leaned over. "Lily, no one is more suitable to wear this Platinum Star than you.
Can I help you put it on?"he said. Seeing this, Lily frowned slightly and looked unhappy. She
instinctively took a few steps back and rejected Wellington’s closeness involuntarily. Then, she waved
her hand and said, "How can I accept such a valuable gift! Mr. Du, you’d better take it back."
