A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 773 A Bolt from the Blue

Gu Jia-Xiang's words left everyone disappointed.

Sure enough, they had overthought it.

Then again, it made sense. Why would a giant from the corporate world lower himself to visit the owner of a tiny food factory during the Lunar New Year?

Ye Ya waved his hand and said deeply, "This is the Ye residence, so there are only Ye family members here and no Mr Chu.

Mr Gu, I'm afraid you're mistaken."

The smile on his face had dissipated by now.

"Only Ye family members?" contemplated Gu Jia-Xiang for a few moments. Then he swiftly realized something and smiled and asked politely, "Sure, he goes by Mr Ye too. Is Mr Ye around?"

Ye Ya didn't answer him. Instead, he turned around and shouted to Ye Tian, who was sitting in the living room, "Tian, get over here and receive your guest. Mr Gu is here to wish you a happy new year."

In Ye Ya's opinion, the people with the highest social status in the Ye family were him and his older brother. Since Gu Jia-Xiang wasn't here to visit him, by elimination, he must be here for his older brother, Ye Tian. Moreover, Ye Tian was the deputy county mayor, so he had higher status and power than his little brother. Although they were surprised that Gu Jia-Xiang would visit Ye Tian for the Lunar New Year, it made sense. "What? Is...is Mr Gu here to send me his well wishes for the new year?" asked Ye Tian. He went into shock instantly.

Ye Tian was clearly astonished.

But Ye Tian didn't think too much about it.

Since Ye Ya was the one who said so, Gu Jia-Xiang must truly be here to see him.

Ye Tian was overjoyed by the news and quickly stood up.

He also shouted for his wife, Dong Mei, and hurried over to welcome Gu Jia-Xiang together.

"Oh my, Mr Gu. Long time no see. I'm surprised you remembered me. I'm deeply honored by your visit," said Ye Tian with a smile as he shook Gu Jia-Xiang's hand warmly.

"Oh yes, Mr Gu. Allow me to introduce you. This is my wife, Dong Mei. This is my nephew, Ye Jian. This is my little brother and his wife. My daughter left a few days ago, so she's not around," said Ye Tian as he introduced his relatives to Gu Jia-Xiang.

Everyone stepped forward and greeted Gu Jia-Xiang after the introduction.

"Nice to meet you, Uncle Gu, just call me Jian."

"Mr Gu, I'm Tian's sister-in-law. Jianya Food Factory will be counting on you for help in the future," said Ye Ya's wife eagerly as she stepped forward and chimed in.

In an instant, everyone in the Ye family circled him. They wanted to flatter him and get close to Gu Jia-Xiang.

"Erm...Hello... You're too kind," said Gu Jia-Xiang with cold sweat dripping from his brow as he smiled forcibly while the Ye family members greeted him enthusiastically.

But he was secretly cursing in his heart.

Where did these idiots pop out from?

He was instructed to visit Mr Chu. What were all these extras doing here?

Could they suffer the consequences if they held him up?

But Gu Jia-Xiang didn't dare to complain out loud.

After all, this was Mr Chu's hometown.

They might just be Mr Chu's relatives.

If he offended Mr Chu's relatives, then even if he had nine lives like a cat, it wasn't enough to survive Mr Chu's punishment.

But he couldn't keep entertaining them here, so he ought to figure out who they were first.

After saying a few words patronizingly, Gu Jia-Xiang awkwardly asked Ye Tian, "Er... Who are you?"

"Oh, I'm Ye... Wait, what?" stammered Ye Tian. He was confused by Gu Jia-Xiang's sudden question.

Ye Tian felt as though a stick had suddenly come crashing on his head. The laughter abruptly stopped, and Ye Tian was at a loss.

"Don't you know who I am? I'm Ye Tian! I'm the firstborn son of the Ye family," said Ye Tian loudly as he glared at Gu Jia-Xiang.

Gu Jia-Xiang slapped his thigh and replied, "Oh, you're Mr Ye. Yes, I do know who you are. Aren't you the CEO of Dongyang Winery? I remember you. We ate together last year," Gu Jia-Xiang laughed. What the hell?

Ye Tian's face turned dark as he cursed in his heart. Then he said in a deep tone angrily, "The CEO of Dongyang Winery is Mo Tian."

"Hmm? Is he called Mo Tian? I must be mistaken then. Oh gosh, I'm so sorry. My bad. I meet too many people, so I often get mixed up," explained Gu Jia-Xiang.

But Ye Tian was incapable of forcing a smile. He looked so angry that it seemed as though he had swallowed a fly.

He kept cursing Gu Jia-Xiang in his heart.

Ye Tian was going insane!

Why didn't Gu Jia-Xiang know who he was?

Then why did he come and visit him for the new year?

Was the asshole here to embarrass him?

Ye Tian was infuriated, but he suppressed the anger in his heart and said stiffly, "Mr Gu, are you here to embarrass me? I did hope you could invest in Yeyang, but no one forced you to come. Did you have to come here and make things difficult for me on purpose?"

But Gu Jia-Xiang was instantly baffled.

"Here to send you well wishes for the new year? Stop joking! Why would I do that since I don't know you at all? I'm afraid you're mistaken. I'm here to see Mr Ye," said Gu Jia-Xiang as he chuckled. He sounded somewhat contemptuous of Ye Tian and the others.

They must be kidding. After all, Gu Jia-Xiang was Lei Group's GM, so even Jingzhou's city leaders treated him with the utmost respect.

How could these country bumpkins think he was here to wish them a happy new year?

They ought to take a good hard look in the mirror. Were they deserving of such honor?

"Mr Ye? Which Mr Ye? Other than my little brother and I, are there any other Ye men in the household?" asked Ye Tian quizzically. Both he and his little brother were baffled.

Gu Jia-Xiang looked at those two brothers as though he was looking at idiots.

"Who else can it be? Although the Ye family is big, only Mr Ye Fan is deserving of such respect," said Gu Jia-Xiang deeply. His words struck them like a bolt from the blue. Ye Tian and the others were instantly dumbstruck!

What?

"Ye... Ye Fan? Mr Ye? Did you just say you are to visit Ye Fan?"

Gu Jia-Xiang's words were like a huge rock dropping into the ocean that caused a huge tsunami to rise in the Ye residence.

In an instant, Ye Tian and the others stared hard at him in disbelief as they trembled.

It was simply inconceivable!
