However, being so sarcastic by Elaine deeply stung his self-esteem, and he immediately retorted: “Do you think I am the vice president who eats rice? In this position, not only can I broaden my horizons, but also enhance my network!”
He added: “By the way, I met an overseas Chinese today, and she is a big tycoon! Her family donated tens of millions of dollars worth of paintings and calligraphy to our painting and calligraphy association,”
“And they are willing to sponsor 50 million dollars for us to open a local art exhibition in Aurous Hill! If we make such connections, we may be of great use in the future!”
Elaine said, “What are you bragging about, according to you, they donated 100 million to your painting and calligraphy society alone?”
“I don’t believe who would have nothing better to do than to donate money to your Painting and Calligraphy Society!”
Jacob blurted out, “What do you know? There are a lot of rich people in this world, many rich people donate and sponsor everywhere, what’s a little donation in the cultural field?”
With that, Jacob looked like he was taking credit and said, “By the way, because I met this overseas Chinese, I also got a business deal for Charlie and Claire!”
“If I didn’t join the Painting and Calligraphy Association, could I have such an opportunity?”
Elaine frowned and asked, “Doing business for Charlie and Claire? What kind of business?”
Charlie also looked surprised: “Yes dad, I don’t do business either.”
Jacob said to Charlie, “Good son-in-law, haven’t you been reading feng shui for people? The overseas Chinese I met today just bought a villa in Aurous Hill,”
“And when we were chatting over dinner, she happened to mention that she wanted to ask a feng shui master to take a look at it, and when I heard this,”
“I definitely had to help our own family members, after all, the water will not flow to the outsiders, so I recommended you to her.”
“You usually go to those rich people to see feng shui, each time you earn a couple of million?”
“This time, this overseas Chinese, also seems to be rich, when you directly quote her two or three million, I guess she will not hesitate to agree.”
When Elaine heard this, she was immediately delighted and said to Charlie: “Good son-in-law, this is a good deal, you don’t even have to go overseas, just slip around in our Aurous Hill, you can earn a few million!”
Charlie smiled, and for a while did not know how to answer the question.
Although he had been telling his family that he was going out to see feng shui for customers, in fact, he had not taken any similar orders, and that was all an excuse to go out of town.
