Chapter 669
"It’s just a gift, why did it turn awkward?" Yang Fan was puzzled.
"He’s going to think you don’t regard him as a friend!" Old Zhou said, "Just listen to me, find an occasion to treat him to a meal and drinks, that should do it. The main thing is, your gift isn’t ideal to give. It hurts if you give too much, and if you give too little, you might as well not give at all. How much are you planning to give?"
"A few ten thousands." Yang Fan replied.
"A few ten thousands, that’s about right, but it’s going to hurt, right?" Old Zhou laughed.
Yang Fan responded with a laugh, "A bit, but not too much. If it wasn’t for Wei Jin’s words, I’d be facing even more troubles next. What I meant was, I always feel that a few ten thousands might be a little too little; I didn’t expect you to be so straightforward."
"A few ten thousands is about right, but my advice is not to give it, you won’t be wrong if you listen to me." Old Zhou paused for a moment, then added, "If you really can’t let it go, then in the future, if you come across something fun, it would be fine to give it to him. Just like those silver coins you took last time, but don’t give him the most expensive one, gifting that would just make things tough for the poor guy."
"Alright, I’ve got it now." Yang Fan said.
"By the way, I almost forgot something." Old Zhou suddenly said, "Wei Jin told me this afternoon to leave Xin’an as soon as possible, preferably before 9 p.m. today. Let me check the time now, damn I’ve overslept... it’s eight o’clock, it’s still doable, pack up quickly, let’s go!"
"That old guy Wei Jin didn’t tell me the reason, but he’s quite reliable in this area, blindly trusting him should not be wrong, don’t ask why."
Yang Fan was stunned, "9 p.m.? So precise about the hour? Could my family be in trouble?"
He suddenly got nervous again.
