Chapter 577 Self-Deprecation
However, before Cheng Che entered the room, someone called out from behind him.
“President Cheng, wait a minute!”
Cheng Che turned around and saw a man walking over quickly. He called out, “President Lin.”
President Lin shook hands with Cheng Che before he said with a smile, “President Cheng, I was just about to invite you out. I didn’t expect to run into you here. I have something to ask of
you.”
Cheng Che said, “Look at how polite you’re being. Do you want to speak to my brother? We’re having a family gathering today, but we can spare some time for business.” President Lin’s eyes lit up immediately. “That would be great!”
When Cheng Che turned around to return to the room to call Mu Chen out, he discovered the two girls were still standing there. He looked at them curiously. One of the girls looked slightly familiar, but he could not remember when he had seen her. He did not dwell on the matter and entered the room to call Mu Chen out.
Ye He raised his glass and toasted the dignified middle-aged man in front of him. “President Yin, it’s a pleasure working with you.”
Yin Bin, the dignified middle-aged man, raised his glass as well and said, “President Ye, thank you for taking care of me.”
The two men clinked their glasses and finished the wine in one go.
After setting down his glass, Yin Bin said, “Good wine.”
Ye He said with a laugh, “To be honest, I’m not really good at running businesses. However, when it comes to wine, I have absolute confidence. You’ve just returned to China so you don’t have a good grasp of the situation yet. When you understand it more, you’ll know that I’m a famous drunkard in M City!”
Ye He did not have any emotional baggage when it came to being self-deprecating.
Yin Bin laughed. “President Ye, you’re too modest. I think you’re just a wise person who pretends to be a fool.:
Ye He laughed heartily before he said, “That’s only because you have a good impression of me. After socializing in our circle for a while, you’ll see that I’m not very popular in M City.”
Taking a step to advance and being modest had always been a good way to make people unable to refuse.
Even Madam Yin smiled at Ye He’s words. As the President of the Ye Group, Ye He was really modest. This was definitely not something ordinary people could do. Upon seeing the meaningful look from her husband, she tried to make conversation with Ye He. She asked, “I heard that President Ye has a son and a daughter? Are they around the same age as our Yin Yi and Guan Tang?”
Ye He’s expression darkened immediately. He said, “Madam Yin, you might not be aware of this. I’m not as fortunate as President Yin. My daughter isn’t my biological daughter. Her mother had an affair during our marriage. I’ve raised her for over twenty years, but in the end, she committed a crime and was imprisoned.” He sighed before he continued to say, “Her mother isn’t mentally stable. However, I don’t want to commit her to the mental hospital. No matter what, she had also given me a son and an heir for the Ye family. I have the obligation to take care of her for the rest of her life.”
The Yin couple was stunned.
Ye He took a sip of the wine, looking lonely.
Ye He knew very well that Yin Bin would find out about all these sooner or later. Even if Yin Bin did not ask, there would be no lack of people who would tell Yin Bin on their own accord to sabotage him. Hence, it was best for him to take the initiative to tell Yin Bin about this matter. With this, he could appear honest. Not only that, in the future, if someone tried to discredit him in front of Yin Bin, they would only be at a disadvantage and might even be despised by Yin Bin.
Madam Yin’s expression was one of sympathy and shock at this moment.
Yin Bin gave Ye He a thumbs-up as he said, “President Ye, you’re truly a gentleman.”
Ye He smiled bitterly. “My reputation has long been ruined in M City since everyone knows that I’ve been cheated on. Even my son is affected by this matter. Fortunately, my son is sensible and constantly comforts me. He told me that no matter what happens, I’ll still have him. If it weren’t for him, I’m afraid I would’ve drowned myself in wine. Hence, for his sake, I have to pull myself together.”
Ye He wiped his face before he forced a smile and said, “I’m sorry about bringing the mood down with my family’s misfortunes. It’s all in the past. I promised my son to work hard and not to waste my life away!”
After Ye He finished speaking, a silly smile appeared on his face.
The Yin couple could not help but feel moved by Ye He.
