Chapter 59: You’re Not Worthy Yet
Song Xiaodong looked at Song Xiaoru about to pour the wine and frowned immediately, saying, "Alright, I’ll offer this toast, but before I do, I have a few questions to ask."
Shen Ping gave a slight smile and said, "I will certainly spare no detail in my answers."
Song Xiaodong nodded and said, "You want to marry my sister, so let me start by asking you this, how much money does your family have?"
Shen Ping hesitated briefly before replying, "Not too much, but I do have three million."
Song Xiaodong curled his lip and said, "Tsk tsk, you actually have three million? That’s a bit of a stretch, isn’t it? Aren’t you just a Street Director? It seems like your salary and bonuses aren’t that high, right?"
Third Aunt gave Song Xiaodong a disdainful look and said, "You really became a fool in the army, didn’t you? Do you think a Street Director is like a neighborhood committee director? A Street Director is at the same level as a township head; in the countryside, they’re called township heads, but in urban districts, it’s Street Director."
Song Xiaodong’s mouth twisted even more disdainfully as he said, "That still wouldn’t earn much, would it?"
Shen Ping took a sip of his drink before saying, "Although I’m just a Street Deputy Director, I do have some real power in my hands, and making a bit of money is not really a difficult task."
"Oh..." Song Xiaodong drew out the sound and said, "I get it now. It’s embezzled money, isn’t it?"
Shen Ping looked somewhat embarrassed, while Third Aunt intervened and said, "Nowadays, having power means having money. Helping with some matters, receiving some gratuities, isn’t that normal? You’re just lacking experience."
