Ants exploded, I opened a power plant to supply power to the world

Chapter 227 226 Hundreds of millions a year? I really can't make that much, at least add a bunch of zeros

The atmosphere at the table was not right. He had thought that Li Pengyi's parents had finally come to their senses and prepared a table of New Year's Eve dinner-level dishes to entertain the couple. But how come Li Pengyi's parents were on his side when this younger classmate came? His limelight and "authority" were taken away, which made him feel a little jealous.

Moreover, as the girl's father, he was sitting in the boy's house, so the first glass of wine should be served to him no matter what.

But now, after Li Pengyi's father opened the glass of wine, he first handed it to Lin Zhe with both hands, and then to himself. For his "peer", Li Pengyi's father simply poured a glass of wine.

This comparison made him feel even more uncomfortable. He could only complain in his heart but couldn't make things too awkward.

This old man has not made any progress in his life. Although he is a guest, it is okay to be polite to him, but it is really impolite for him to have his father-in-law here.

……

"Come on, come on. First, our future in-laws are coming to our house today, and then our distinguished guest Xiao Lin is coming. Let's raise a toast together. Thanks to Xiao Lin, we can also taste this flavor."

After Li Pengyi's father said this, his father-in-law finally seized the opportunity and spoke at the table.

"No matter how expensive this wine is, it's still wine. It just tastes like wine, nothing special."

After saying this calmly, he continued to add another sentence.

"We opened a bottle of this Moutai during the Chinese New Year this year. It was brought by our daughter's uncle. It was just so-so, nothing special."

People are like this, especially Li Pengyi's future father-in-law, who is usually very vain and competitive.

This mentality will be magnified in front of the younger generation, especially under the influence of a series of actions by Li Pengyi's parents since Lin Zhe came to Li Pengyi's house today.

I also took this opportunity to express myself. Anyway, I feel that I have "turned the tables".

Let the future in-laws see that this Moutai is not just given to them by others, and their family has drunk it before.

……

Lin Zhe didn't care about this. It did make Li Pengyi and his parents a little embarrassed, but he managed to smooth it over.

Everyone laughed and joked, then drank it all in one gulp.

As soon as the mouthful of this was swallowed, Li Pengyi's future father-in-law's face became interesting. Just like what he just said, he had tasted Moutai, and it was not like this at all! It can only be said that it is somewhat similar, but the difference is still very big.

Although they all tasted good, he immediately thought of one thing.

No wonder a college classmate of Li Pengyi was so "generous" when he came to his house. I guess he got some high-quality imitation wine or channel wine from somewhere.

Haha, it’s a good thing that I’m someone who has “seen the world” and tasted this wine, otherwise it would be easy to be fooled.

Looking at his future in-laws again, he felt a little funny when he saw their intoxicated expressions as if they were real. However, he was not stupid and knew that this matter should not be brought up in public.

……

After five dishes and three rounds of wine, the three of them quickly finished the bottle of wine.

Although he knew it was "fake wine", it tasted really good and smooth, so Li Pengyi's future father-in-law really accepted every glass.

He even thought about it in his mind. When his daughter gets married to Li Pengyi in the future, he will be able to be more relaxed and save face and ask Li Pengyi to find Lin Zhe and ask him to help get some of this "high-quality imitation wine" at a cheap price.

When you give it as a gift, it will probably fool a lot of people.

After all, there are so many people, and many of them have never tasted this wine. Ordinary people don't even have the chance to taste this wine, let alone drink it, which costs thousands of dollars a bottle.

Seeing that the wine was almost finished, Li Pengyi's old father thought that Lin Zhe must drink to his heart's content, so he picked up another bottle from the side and pretended to open it.

Lin Zhe could no longer sit still and quickly reached out to stop Li Pengyi's father.

I am very clear about the family situation of my best friend. He comes from an ordinary family. The gift I brought is for them. There are two bottles in total, one of which has been opened today. It is no big deal if I open the remaining bottle and drink it all myself.

"Uncle, you can keep the remaining bottle. Let's drink some light beer. Forget about the white wine. I don't really like white wine. I prefer some water beer. If you don't believe me, ask Pengyi. He knows the answer."

Lin Zhe was right about this. Li Pengyi also knew clearly that his best friend in college basically never drank liquor, so the fact that he drank so much today was already giving himself enough face.

After noticing Li Pengyi's confirming gaze, his father put the wine aside.

Then he went to the refrigerator and took out a few bottles of beer.

"Let's drink first. I'll call the store downstairs and ask them to send up a few cases of cold beer."

……

At the end of the drinking, chatting is naturally the main thing.

Li Pengyi's future father-in-law was also a little drunk, and the conversation became more frequent.

"Pengyi, you are my college classmates, right? You young people need to study hard. You are too impetuous now. No matter what you do, you need to calm down and take one step at a time."

Lin Zhe felt that there was nothing wrong with this, and what he said was really a panacea, but some young people were not necessarily more impetuous than middle-aged and elderly people like them.

However, out of politeness, Lin Zhe nodded.

Li Pengyi naturally needed no explanation. He and his father also felt awkward, but his girlfriend hadn't married into the family yet, so he had to agree to his father-in-law's request.

……

Li Pengyi's father also felt embarrassed. He tried to interrupt his father-in-law but failed. He waved his hand and continued speaking.

"I'm telling you guys, don't be too ambitious now. Thinking about making hundreds of millions of dollars a year is impossible. It's better to be down-to-earth. The current environment is not good. If you can make a few hundred thousand a year, you will surpass many people. Being down-to-earth is better than anything else, don't you think? Pengyi?"

His father-in-law had said so, and it seemed to be true to him, so Li Pengyi naturally nodded hurriedly.

But I didn't expect that my future father-in-law, who was drunk and liked to lecture people, asked me, and it wasn't enough. After I answered, I turned around and asked Lin Zhe again.

"Xiao Lin, right? You too, I just heard you say you're from a small place, right? That city called Lin is not much bigger than our Hexi. What I said is also for the good of you youngsters. Do you think it makes sense?"

Lin Zhe could actually nod in agreement with those panacea-like words just now, but it sounded a bit wrong, but when he thought about it carefully, there was really nothing wrong with it.

After a few seconds of silence, Lin Zhe nodded.

"You're right. With hundreds of thousands or millions of dollars a year, I really can't reach that goal."

……

At the same time, a Mercedes-Benz G63 was speeding from Jincheng to Hexi.

The cell phone in the car was connected to the speaker. Zhang Cheng and Ruyi were both listening carefully. Zhang Yuliang was scolding them on the phone.

"Tell me, I'm just going back to Binhai. What if Mr. Lin is gone in your hands? What if he gets into an accident? Don't you have to keep an eye on him? Take care of him?" "Zheng Cheng, even though Mr. Lin has always trusted you, you can't help but worry about him. Don't you know Mr. Lin's character? You have to drink happily when you go to see his friends. Can you take responsibility if he gets drunk and bumps into things?"

"And Ruyi, is this how you serve as Mr. Lin's personal assistant? Normally I treat you all as friends, but I have to say a few words to you about this matter."

"You two will both have zero performance this month, is that okay with that?"

……

Listening to Zhang Yuliang's scolding, both of them had sad faces, but neither of them was dissatisfied.

Now they are all from the President's Office, and Zhang Yuliang is the head of their President's Office and their immediate superior. Moreover, when Zhang Yuliang really goes out, she always reminds them repeatedly to keep an eye on General Manager Lin and take good care of General Manager Lin.

Now I think I really shouldn't have "let" Mr. Lin go alone to meet his friends. He was indeed drunk and no one was able to take care of him. If something happened, no one could take the responsibility.

So after being scolded, the two of them rushed to Hexi and honestly admitted their mistakes.

"Sister Yuliang, we know we were wrong. We will go there overnight and we will arrive in about two hours."

"Yes, we have no objection. We will definitely take good care of Mr. Lin from now on."

……

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuliang also sighed. Maybe her tone was a little harsh just now, but for President Lin's sake, it was really necessary to remind these two people.

However, this incident did give her some inspiration. The importance of Mr. Lin to Zhetong Electric Power is self-evident. And to be honest, as an employee, not to mention her, everyone in the group, from the cleaning lady to the factory manager, hopes that Mr. Lin will always lead them.

Therefore, his safety is of vital importance, even if he gets bumped or hurt, it won’t do.

It's time to make some plans after this time. I had this idea before but hadn't acted on it yet. Now that I'm back, I must set up a security team for the President's Office.

At that time, I will be responsible for Mr. Lin’s travel and activities safety.

……

On the other side, inside Hexi County, Lin Zhe was still drinking at Li Pengyi's house, and the beer had been brought up by the owner of the convenience store.

The temperature is still quite high now, and a sip of ice beer is very refreshing.

Especially today, there were plenty of cold dishes to go with the wine at Li Pengyi's house. His parents even asked him about Lin Zhe's dietary taboos, such as not eating onions and garlic. Although the dishes were not in line with Lin Zhe's taste, at least they would not make him unable to eat.

Lin Zhe also realized that Li Pengyi's future father-in-law really liked to preach, but other than that there was no harm in it.

Li Pengyi's father also noticed this, and in order to make Lin Zhe happier after drinking, he pulled his future father-in-law aside to chat and drink, creating an environment for Lin Zhe and Li Pengyi to chat and drink alone.

It was a meeting of old friends, so naturally we had a few more drinks.

Especially since Lin Zhe was taught the finger-guessing trick by Li Pengyi, and many people in Lincheng don't know how to do it, he can satisfy his "finger-guessing" trick here.

It was especially pleasant to meet old friends. The smell of wine mixed with the so-called sense of righteousness, and a little moonlight outside the house made people drink a thousand cups without getting drunk.

Before he knew it, it was already past one in the morning, and during that time Lin Zhe received a call from Zhang Chen.

He said he came alone this time and didn't need them, and he didn't know how they came here. Lin Zhe simply told them the address and asked them to wait downstairs and take him back to the hotel later.

……

After drinking another glass, Lin Zhe looked at the time and felt that he couldn't drink any more today. His eyelids were already drooping and he would vomit if he drank any more.

So Lin Zhe also spoke.

"There's a lot of time to go, and I'm in no hurry to leave. Let's stop here tonight. I can't drink any more."

Since Lin Zhe had said it, Li Pengyi must have agreed. After drinking to this extent, he had done his part.

Seeing that Lin Zhe was about to leave, Li Pengyi's father stood up and sent Lin Zhe downstairs. His mother also stood up and accompanied him downstairs after enduring till this point.

Once they left, the only "outsiders" left in the house were Li Pengyi's future father-in-law and his family, so seeing this, they simply chose to go downstairs and go home together.

He said a few words while going downstairs, asking Li Pengyi and Lin Zhe to work hard so that they can provide a better life for their wives and daughters in the future.

Lin Zhe had no memory of what he heard, so they walked downstairs together and then walked towards the gate of the community together.

……

At the gate of the community, Ruyi and Zhang Cheng were originally in the car. After hearing the noise coming from inside, they looked over, then hurriedly got out of the car and trotted over to greet them.

"Boss Lin, you are drunk. Let me help you up."

As they spoke, Ruyi and Zhang Cheng each supported Lin Zhe.

Lin Zhe was also drunk, so he just said hello and followed them into the car.

Arriving at the car, Zhang Cheng opened the door and settled Lin Zhe down. Then Ruyi took care of him in the back seat while he trotted to the driver's seat, started the engine and drove away.

……

The night wind sobered him up, and when it blew over, Li Pengyi's future father-in-law shivered.

He could drink a lot, and after seeing this scene, he was surprised. Now he came to his senses.

"Um... what is this? Xiao Li, what does your classmate do? Why is there an assistant secretary and driver coming to pick him up, and he's driving this luxury car."

After hearing the question from his future father-in-law, Li Pengyi chose to answer.

"My classmate runs an electric power company. Zhetong Electric Power Group belongs to him."

……

When Lin Zhe returned to the hotel at night, he fell asleep immediately, but some people couldn't sleep.

Li Pengyi's father-in-law and his family started gossiping after they returned home in a taxi.

"Zhetong Electric Power Group? It sounds like he's the boss of a group? Oh my god, no wonder people say that if you can't make hundreds of thousands or millions a year, you have to make at least 10 or 20 million a year."

"Xiao Qing, help Dad check what kind of group this is. Your boyfriend has some unusual friends~"

After hearing his words, Li Pengyi's girlfriend also started searching on her mobile phone. To be honest, she didn't know much about Lin Zhe, although Li Pengyi would sometimes talk about his college days with nostalgia, especially when he was drunk, he would also yell about when he would go back to Binhai to get together with his brothers.

But what we talked about most were things that happened in college, and we never mentioned the present.
