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 everyoneto order. The dishes were served thereafter. While waiting for the dishes to be served, Auntie Cao onthe opposite side glanced at Lily. Then, she took the initiative to start the topic of yesterday’s blind dateand said, "Lily, your mother and I have known each other for 30 years." "I heard from your mother thatyou are not young anymore and you haven’t gotten married yet. So, I arranged for my son Wellingtonto meet you. After all, we are old friends. Let’s become familiar with each other and make friends witheach other," Auntie Cao said. Lily didn’t know how to respond, so she could only nod her head with afake smile. Madam Wei’s expression was unpleasant at this moment. At that time, she was anxiousabout her daughter’s marriage. She got to know that Auntie Cao’s son was still single and hisbackground was not bad. Therefore, she thought that she would give him a chance and arranged thisblind date. However, she did not expect that the blind date would end in an unpleasant manner. At thistime, Madam Wei picked up a cup of tea and said to Auntie Cao, "Lily made a mistake in yesterday’sblind date. Wellington, please forgive us and take this cup of tea as our apology." Wellington Du quicklysaid, "Auntie, you are too courteous. Yesterday’s matter is nothing really. Maybe Lily and I had somemisunderstandings." At this time, Auntie Cao’s eyes fell on Fade, and her eyes were slightly fierce. Shesaid, "This young man, he was at Lily’s blind date yesterday. I heard that he left with Lily in the end. Idon’t know if you guys-" Hearing this, Madam Wei couldn’t help but look at Lily and Fade with a dimlook in her eyes. Lily knew that Auntie Cao was going to put the target on Fade, so she immediatelyexplained, "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 atFade, 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 medicalroom!" Auntie Cao’s eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing adisdainful smile, and then she said, "The medical room, don’t know what department that is at FeiEnterprises 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 areonly 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 anelite white collar worker, and she has such an important position as the Head of Human ResourcesDepartment. Her monthly salary should be more than 70,000 yuan. Including bonus, it’s almost1,000,000 yuan a year. The gap between both of you is a bit large!" "Sister Lily is a senior executive, soit’s normal for her to get a high salary," Fade said lightly. Seeing that this guy did not hear her sarcasmat 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 hisembarrassment." "However, even if you are cunning, you are only in your twenties." she thought toherself. How could he outwit an old fox like her ? Thinking of this, Auntie Cao smirked a little, and thenstarted to brag about her son, saying, "Mr.Chen is right. It’s normal for senior executives to have a highsalary. For example, my son, Wellington, works in an international company. Although he is not at thesenior level, his salary is great, which is more than one million yuan a year. Moreover, the leaders alsovalue 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 ofyuan. 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 ordinaryperson met Wellington, who was an elite executive with an annual salary of one million yuan, withinvestments in companies, he would definitely be popular. But unfortunately, Wellington had bumpedinto 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 worthmentioning. Quin Lin’s Fei Enterprises Holdings Inc had already developed into a large company worthten billion yuan. Moreover, Fade was powerful not only because of his money, but also because of hisstrength and status in the martial-arts circle. With his current identity as the number one expert in LongCity, he was always the most powerful person wherever he went. As for money, it was just a number forhim. Therefore, the rest of the people on the table almost had no reactions on their faces and theyremained calm when they were facing Wellington and his mother’s arrogance. Seeing this, Auntie Caocould not help but frown slightly. Then, she pushed her son gently under the table. Wellingtonunderstood her gesture and nodded gently. Then, he leaned to one side and took out a small gift boxfrom the leather bag beside him. He stood up, stretched out his hands affectionately with the gift infront of Lily and said, "Lily, today is your birthday. This is my birthday present for you. It’s a little giftfrom me. Please accept it." While speaking, Wellington seemed to be worried that Lily wouldn’t knowthe value of the gift, so he opened the gift directly, revealing a delicate platinum necklace. He held itwith both hands and introduced in excitement, "This necklace is called the Platinum Star. It wasdesigned by the famous designer Mr. Miguel. I asked for the help of the senior management of mycompany, to go specifically to the UK to look for him to design this." "Mr. Miguel used to design jewelryfor the Duchess Kate in England. In our country, there are only 20 jewelries designed by him. There arefive such items that are considered most precious. One of them happened to be in Chief Tai’scollection. Chief Tai is owner of Tai Grand Hotel Wellington said. Then, he said again, " specificallyasked Chiefnovelbin
Tai to appraise this necklace before I came here. Although there is still some differences with ChiefTai’s Heart of Stars’, it is definitely a masterpiece of Mr. Miguel." After introducing so much in onebreath, Wellington immediately gazed at Lily with an expression of deep affection. He held the necklacewith 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 wavedher hand and said, "How can I accept such a valuable gift! Mr. Du, you’d better take it back."
