Chapter 853 - 585: It Was a Mistake
What about my 2 Yuan?
He quickly transferred his anger to Xia Tiannan!
Damn!
Xia Nantian!
How dare you cheat me?
He took a swift step forward and snatched back the 2 Yuan bank card from Xia Tiannan's hand!
Xia Tiannan was taken aback.
"What are you doing?"
Zhang Wenhua was shaking with rage.
"You, you fraud! I wasn't giving you a gift, I was giving it to Xia Liang, Mister Xia!"
Xia Tiannan was immediately humiliated.
"What? You're taking back a gift you gave? Are you trying to slap my whole family in the face?"
Xia Tiannan raged.
Zhang Wenhua snorted coldly.
"The Mister Xia I mentioned before wasn't you, why did you accept it?"
Xia Tiannan was embarrassed at that moment. Damn, I only wanted to show off, how would I know you weren't talking about me?
"I thought you were talking about me!"
Xia Tiannan was both angry and ashamed.
Receiving a generous gift, only to find out it was meant for his nephew Xia Liang!
And then having it taken back from him!
The scene was extremely awkward!
Zhang Wenhua ignored Xia Tiannan and turned directly, respectfully handing the 2 Yuan to Xia Liang.
"Mister Xia! I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I was blind to not recognize a gem when it was right in front of me! You were the true Buddha sitting across from me, and yet I went to worship a minor ghost! It was all my fault, just a small token, please accept it, accept it."
Xia Liang was both amused and helpless.
This act from Zhang Wenhua was really not something he arranged.
Ridiculous!
Xia Liang shook his head.
"Take it back, this gift is too much, I don't want it."
Zhang Wenhua, being thick-skinned, pushed it into Xia Liang's pocket.
"Please! Otherwise, I'll be completely humiliated in front of Brother Wang, I'd lose face completely, please be magnanimous and overlook this, you must accept it, otherwise how can I deal with Brother Wang?"
Wang Xin coughed and earnestly said to Zhang Wenhua.
"Old Brother Zhang, in the future, please be more mindful when dealing with people. When giving gifts, make sure you don't give them to the wrong person, otherwise, it can get really awkward! Even I feel embarrassed!"
The more Zhang Wenhua looked at Xia Liang, the more he felt that this young man from the Xia family was unfathomable!
Definitely someone with hidden depths, unfathomable indeed!
But Wang Xin had said, Xia Liang had acquired his company!
Even Brother Wang, who was influential in the Imperial Capital, held Xia Liang in high regard!
How could he not try to curry favor then?
Of the whole venue, if someone had to be said to be the most embarrassed.
It would be Fourth Uncle Xia Tiannan!
His face turned as red as a liver!
Showing off gone horribly wrong!
The supposed big shot giving him the gift, upon seeing Xia Liang, forcibly took the 2 Yuan gift money back and gave it to Xia Liang instead!
What in the world is this absurd operation?
Do I not need my dignity?
Xia Tiannan roared,
"Zhang Wenhua! Don't hit people in the face! You took back the 2 Yuan, what does that mean? Don't you want next year's project?"
Xia Tiannan began to threaten Zhang Wenhua.
Zhang Wenhua was a big local figure, feared Xia Liang, but Xia Tiannan? Just a small fry, who cares?
In the local area, how many in the construction business are easy to mess with?
His face turned cold, giving a chilling smile, he threatened.
"Xia Tiannan! You're the one not appreciating what's given! Do you not know your own position? I can talk to the mayor and the district head, what are you, just a mere small-town civil servant? I came today to give you face, but you pretend to be Mister Xia and trick me for 2 Yuan gift money! I dare to give, do you dare to take? I'll report you with just one call!"
Zhang Wenhua wasn't polite anymore, directly showing his fangs!
His tone sinister, full of threat.
A local construction undertaker, definitely a regional bigwig!
Xia Tiannan was intimidated by Zhang Wenhua's threat, instantly sobering up!
Regretting his actions, deeply!
He knew well, Zhang Wenhua had good relations up above!
One call from him, would he be able to keep his tiny job?
Xia Tiannan was so scared his legs were cramping!
He started rambling.
"General Manager Zhang, Brother Zhang! You see, I drank a bit, words just slipped out! I'm wrong, I'm really wrong. Brother Zhang, you mustn't tell our section chief~~"
The more Xia Tiannan thought, the more scared he got, and with a thud, he was about to kneel to Zhang Wenhua.
Fourth Aunt was also terrified, in these times if Zhang Wenhua reported it, her husband wouldn't be able to keep his job, might even get jailed!
She was a bit smarter, saw at once that Zhang Wenhua was currying favor with Wang Xin, and Wang Xin was currying favor~~
With Xia Liang!
Xia Liang, was the thigh of the thigh of Zhang Wenhua's thigh!
Talking to Xia Liang, that would work!
She ran to Xia Liang's side, imploring bitterly.
"Xia Liang, please speak to General Manager Zhang. Don't you know your Fourth Uncle, that damn bastard! After drinking, he just acts wild! I've been so frustrated I ever wanted to divorce him."
Fourth Aunt cried bitterly, tears and snot flowing.
"I'm begging you, don't let them report your Fourth Uncle, don't let this bastard get taken away. My daughter Xiao Min and I completely rely on him., Xiao Min, quickly beg your cousin?"
Xiao Min, whose real name is Xia Min, is the child of Fourth Uncle and Fourth Aunt, and Xia Liang's cousin.
She's very pretty and usually looks down a bit on Xia Liang.
But seeing her dad offend Zhang Wenhua, getting caught in a difficult situation, about to lose his job and possibly get jailed, she also panicked.
"Xia Liang, Sis knows you're the best. My dad just spoke indiscreetly after drinking, please help him."
Xia Min also cried.
Uncle Xia Liang's forehead veins bulged, he stood up.
Walked to the face of the grief-stricken Xia Tiannan!
Suddenly kicked!
Kicked Xia Tiannan back 7, 8 steps!
Uncle pointed at his nose, angrily scolding Xia Tiannan.
"Shameless! Openly asking for a bribe? That's committing a crime! Even if our Xia family dies in poverty, we won't take a single dirty penny! Arrest him! Take him away!"
Uncle was so furious he was about to explode.
Fourth Aunt rushed up, both clawing and scolding Xia Tiannan.
"You deadbeat! I told you to be nicer to Xia Liang long ago, but you just wouldn't listen! Now look? You're about to get in trouble, if you get taken away, we'll get a divorce!"
Xia Tiannan pushed Fourth Aunt away.
"Get lost! Nasty woman!"
He looked helplessly at Xia Liang, pitifully.
"Xia Liang, Fourth Uncle, was wrong! Can you talk to President Wang and General Manager Zhang, ask them to spare me?"
Xia Liang replied indifferently.
"Fourth Uncle, your actions today were indeed bad, however, General Manager Zhang…"
Before he could finish, Zhang Wenhua quickly said.
"Rest assured, Mister Xia! For your sake, I certainly won't do anything to your Fourth Uncle. Haha, this matter is over, it's fine now!"
He respectfully placed the bank card in Xia Liang's hand.
"In the future, please guide me, Mister Xia."
Xia Liang smiled, handing it back.
"I can't accept this, having done nothing. Let's have a drink, enjoy the meal!"
With Xia Liang's word, no one in the family dared to disobey.
Fourth Uncle Xia Tiannan was the first to nod, like a pecking chicken.
"Right right, what Xia Liang said is absolutely right, let's quickly eat, drink…"
Fourth Aunt snatched his cup away.
"Drink any more, say a word against Xia Liang again, and I'll kill you myself!"
Cousin Xia Min, breaking into a smile through her tears, quickly poured Xia Liang a drink.
"Xia Liang, thank you, Sis raises a toast for you!"
