Chapter 752: Yes
The sound ceased.
He knew he had misspoken, and just as he was about to open his mouth to fix it, Tuberculosis Rabbit and the others started to laugh uncontrollably.
“You’re quite interesting, kid. We’re setting you up on a blind date here, asking what your standards are, and you say anything goes, don’t even hesitate.”
“Got a good appetite.”
“Alright, then it’s settled.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit glanced at Yi, and upon seeing Yi nod slightly, he turned to introduce Li Yide who was standing beside him: “This is Li Yide, Old Huang, you should know him, a big name from Yancheng in the old days, right? He was the first to charge out during the Race Duel Battle; his courage and ability are both top-notch in Yancheng.”
Feeling a bit embarrassed, Li Yide looked at Old Huang with a smile and raised his glass in greeting,
It might have been so in the past, but now he had fallen on hard times and lost his ambition long ago; words like courage and ability had nothing to do with him anymore.
He should not have talked about those matters.
“He’s been traveling among other races for many years, and only recently came back to Blue Star to retire. He’s doing me a favor by taking a team leader position in my company’s Group Seven, helping me with some chores. So, you can just have your son come directly to my company to find him tomorrow.”
“Whatever kind of wife you want, no problem.”
Tuberculosis Rabbit couldn’t help but laugh, looking toward the young man who had stood up: “Alright, sit down. You know where my company is, right?”
How could he not see Old Huang’s intentions.
Saying he’d help find a wife was one thing, but the real message was whether he could give his son a boost. When smart people talk to each other, a single tone can reveal a different meaning. In reality, there was no need to say it at all; they understood what it meant the moment Old Huang brought his son over.
This was all quite harmless.
It was the child of an old acquaintance; if they could lend a hand, they would. What was a casual favor for them represented a social stratum that people like Old Huang could spend their entire lives struggling to reach and never attain.
Social class is determined by the generation of your parents.
The only way to change your class is a period of extreme social upheaval, during which a new class slowly emerges, taking over the position of the old class, and then passing that position down to their own descendants.
Until the next global upheaval.
This is the underlying principle of how the world operates; and undoubtedly, they would be the biggest beneficiaries after this global upheaval concludes, without equals, thanks to themselves, their children, and their friends, who will all enjoy certain social privileges.
This is perfectly normal.
Parents struggle and shed blood, not to let their children eat meager meals.
“Thank you, Yi, thank you Tuberculosis Rabbit, and thank you, everyone.”
Upon hearing this, Old Huang immediately showed his gratitude, continuously standing up and lifting his glass to toast from afar. He also grasped the meaning behind Tuberculosis Rabbit’s words, which were an offer to give his son a leg up. They’d first set the tone today and then discuss specifics at the company tomorrow.
It’s just that the task would be handled by subordinates, not by them personally, which signified that they could give a boost, but not too high.
But that was enough.
Group Seven’s team leader – that was a position in Tuberculosis Rabbit Company that commanded more respect than even a mayor in any place, wielding immense power. To have such a person aid his son was more than sufficient.
“No problem.”
Chen Yi smiled and waved his hand dismissively: “The kid’s grown up; it’s time he got married. I’m thinking of finding a wife for my eldest, Chen Yue, too.”
Soon.
The end of the dinner party gradually drew to a close amid everyone’s lively conversation.
Old Huang, standing on the rooftop with a smile on his face and waving goodbye to Chen Yi and the others, only let out a sigh of relief when they’d gone out of sight. His once upright posture instantly slumped.
His health was very poor.
He was only pretending to be in good shape out of sheer willpower.
