I Am Born With A Silver Spoon -
Chapter 173 Two Sets of Suits
Ma Xiaonan's cousin, Ma Xiaoyun and the others were already there when Chen Hao and Yang Hui arrived.
Meng Cairu, Han Siyu and Du Yue were there too. Besides them, there was a young man dressed in a suit,who looked around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, sitting beside Ma Xiaoyun. Ma Xiaoyun was a charming, beautiful woman, and she was a social butterfly too.
Chen Hao and his roommates had been keeping in touch with her quite often. She was an arrogant and haughty person. If it wasn't for the sake of Ma Xiaonan, she would never bother to help them replace part- time jobs.
"Have a seat," Ma Xiaoyun said nonchalantly.
Chen Hao then sat down.
"The incident yesterday gave us a bout of jitters. Let's enjoy some drinks later, my treat! Besides, I want to introduce my high school classmate to all of you. His name is Meng Bin, and he is the leader of the Investigation Police Department in Jin Ling! He's the one who helped us after receiving my call."
"Ah! Mr. Meng Bin, thank you for saving our lives!" As she heard about the position of Meng Bin, Du Yue started to feel favorable toward him.
"It's not a big deal. It's my duty. Just to let you know, the culprit yesterday has been arrested, and we have even investigated another big case which involved him too. In fact, I should be the one to thank you girls. Otherwise, we don't know when we could arrest Zhu Jiang, the main culprit behind the big cases," Meng Bin said with a smile.
"Xiaonan, look at your friend, how polite is she! Go give Meng Bin a toast to thank him!" Seeing that Ma Xiaonan didn't say anything to express her gratitude, Ma Xiaoyun quickly reminded her.
"Oh, I want to thank Inspector Meng and also Chen Hao. After all, without Chen Hao's help, I couldn't imagine what kind of danger we would have encountered, " Ma Xiaonan said.
Most of all, if it wasn't for Chen Hao who went to notify the others about the incident, there wouldn't be any rescue after that.
"Xiaonan, what's wrong with you? I'm asking you to thank Inspector Meng. Why are you thanking Chen Hao instead?" Ma Xiaoyun was unhappy about that.
"That's right. What has this loser done? He even claimed that he was about to report to the police. I guess he was scared out of his wits at that time. If it wasn't for the effectiveness of Inspector Meng's rescue team after receiving the call from Xiaoyun, all of us would have been ruined!" Du Yue said.
While Meng Bin only slightly shook his head and gave a tiny smile.
"That's right. The people we should thank are Xiaoyun and Inspector Meng. I'll replace the wine with tea, and this is to both of you! It's my fault for not teaching Xiaonan her manners. Please take my toast as an apology," Meng Cairu said politely with a faint smile.
Obviously, she didn't take Chen Hao's help to heart at all.
As for Ma Xiaonan, she actually felt something was not right.
She didn't see Meng Bin at all during the whole rescue at that time. Not only that, White Wolf was obviously stronger than Meng Bin in terms of both presence and strength.
Hence, Ma Xiaonan smelled a rat regarding the incident.
She also couldn't stand how the others mocked Chen Hao.
"Xiaonan, I know that Chen Hao is a good friend of yours. How about I try asking around to get him a job with endowment insurance benefits later?" In order not to put her cousin in an awkward situation, Ma Xiaoyun said immediately.
"Really? Wouldn't it be better to get him a job with endowment insurance and retiring pension benefits too?" Ma Xiaonan asked.
"This is hard. Based on the economy right now, there are only a few big companies that would provide retiring pension for their employees. As for Chen Hao, I think it's quite difficult for me to arrange him a job with those benefits. I'll try my best." She obviously did not believe in Chen Hao's abilities and capabilities.
"That's right. If Xiaoyun arranges for him to work in a big company, he would face tough competition. What if he serves as a foil to others in the company later?" Du Yue, who had always been a straight-forward person, said directly.
"Yes. Judging from his characteristics and capability, he should be fine as an office boy or some office-related work. I don't think he is able to work in any other fields. Actually, our counselor and I have advised him about this before!" Han Siyu forced a smile and shook her head helplessly.
Chen Hao's anger was mounting as he heard what they said.
Sh*t, why do you have to mention about me every time? Don't you have any other topic to talk about except gossiping about me?
I'm an honest person but I'm not a fool!
I have no choice but to be honest all the time because I had neither money nor power before this.
Chen Hao kept silent.
Meanwhile, Chen Hao's phone rang and he saw it was a call from his sister.
Chen Hao immediately went out to take the call.
"My dear sister, anything?"
"My little brother, are you free now? I want to tell you that one of my butlers and some of my subordinates have arrived in Jin Ling earlier than expected. I need you to arrange your people to fetch them. I have assigned Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing another task. You just arrange anyone to fetch them at the airport and arrange for their accommodations."
"Oh, no problem!" Chen Hao nodded his head.
In fact, this was the first time Chen Hao was going to meet people from his family.
"Haha, I'll be there in another two days. We'll meet each other then!" Chen Xiao said happily.
Of course, Chen Hao missed his sister a lot.
After the simple conversation ended, Chen Hao hung up.
Both Li Zhenguo and Zhao Zixing were busy now so Chen Hao didn't want to disturb them.
Who should he send?
Cough, since he didn't want to continue with the meal as Han Siyu and the girls were here, he decided to go by himself.
After all, the one he was going to fetch was his sister's butler.
Hence, Chen Hao went back to the table to tell Ma Xiaonan that he had something coming up and left right away.
"Chen Hao is so busy huh?" Ma Xiaoyun said sarcastically.
I'm being kind enough to invite you to join our meal and you are actually leaving now?
"I guess he just doesn't have the dignity to stay here longer. Oh ya, Inspector Meng, tell us who the handsome man with white hair is? What's his position in your department?" Du Yue asked at this time. "Haha, to be honest, I'm confused about what you have been talking about since just now. What do you mean by a Maybach and the white-haired cool handsome man? I've never seen anyone with white hair in our investigation department, and it's impossible for us to drive a Maybach in a rescue mission," Meng Bin said with an awkward smile.
To tell the truth, he didn't feel right once he heard their conversation. Indeed, the police were dispatched last night.
He even heard that the relevant leaders in the province also came to investigate the incident.
There was a huge fuss within the police department.
At that time, Meng Bin received Ma Xiaoyun's phone call, saying that her cousin and her three friends were kidnapped.
As soon as Meng Bin heard about it, he thought, Isn't it the same case the police were dispatched for?
Meng Bin just told her that the police were on the way.
As he arrived there with the rescue team, all the culprits had been arrested and the hostages were already rescued.
He wasn't in the position to know what had happened exactly.
That was why he felt awkward the whole time he was having the meal.
He couldn't help but force an awkward smile before this when they talked about the rescue.
Only then he realized that there were two different parties of people rescuing the girls.
His department was only there to clean up the mess.
"Huh? It's not from the police department? Hmm, that's true. It's impossible for the police department to come to the rescue in a luxurious Maybach right?" Du Yue felt puzzled too. "Inspector Meng, does that mean we were not rescued by the police?" Meng Cairu was shocked to see that things were not as simple as they thought.
"Strictly speaking, it wasn't us who saved you girls as you girls had left when we arrived at the scene," Meng Bin explained with a smile.
He just briefly explained the happenings without touching on the details.
There was no need for him to take credit for this rescue.
"Huh? At the end of the day, there was another person who came to rescue us? Who was it?" Four of the girls felt a jolt of surprise. Suddenly, Han Siyu's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello, miss. We're calling from the Rex Suit Flagship Store customer service line. Earlier yesterday, you bought a suit for your boyfriend, and he came back to purchase another with the exact same design late at night. We only had a smaller size at that time, so he took that one for the time being. The bigger size has just arrived today. We want to ask if he wants to bring it back for a change. He left in a hurry yesterday so we didn't get his contact number."
"My boyfriend? Are you talking about Chen Hao? He's not my boyfriend! And did you say that he bought another suit? Why did he need two suits?" Han Siyu was dumbfounded.
Meng Cairu, who had obviously heard the phone call, was stunned as well.
"If that's the case, the suit with Chen Hao yesterday was not the one bought by Siyu! He lied to us! But why does he want to lie to us? As for the suit in the car yesterday... Don't tell me it's actually..." "Ah!" Meng Cairu exclaimed suddenly.000
