“Dayanara just designed it. She does not own it. It’s not a big deal,” Tyree said with a smile.
“Cedric, Lillian, you guys are always talking about how powerful Dayanara is. However, even if she struggles to become the director of the Group, isn’t she still an employee?” Tyree said proudly, “But Derek has a real estate company of his own.”
Dayanara’s expression turned ugly.
“You know,” Tyree said proudly, “the reason I treat you to dinner today is we’re moving to a new house that Derek bought for us. It’s more than 1. 2 million yuan. It’s in Fountain Neighborhood, the upscale residential area in Goldwich District.”
“The Fountain Neighborhood?” Alberto asked.
“Hey, you’ve heard of Fountain Neighborhood before? How do you know?” Tyree asked with interest.
“I went there two days ago,” Alberto said.
“Have you gone there? Then you should have increased your knowledge, right?” Tyree said endlessly, “Cedric, Lillian, you guys may not have been there before, so you can ask Alberto. Fountain Neighborhood is a famous high-end residential area in Goldwich District. The house price is 100, 000 per square. The environment is quite beautiful. The supporting facilities and property management of the residential area are all top-notch. It’s not like this River Neighborhood which is shabby and old without a single underground car park.”
“I’m telling you, if you’re rich, hurry to move out.” Tyree seized the opportunity to keep showing off, “I had the chance to move out because my daughter has a good boyfriend like Derek. Derek has studied abroad and returned from overseas. As the old saying goes, men will be damned to choose a wrong career as women a husband. Do you think so, Cedric?”
“Yes.” Cedric forced a smile and nodded.
“That’s so. Although Dayanara is powerful in the Group, aren’t you still living in that shabby River Neighborhood?” Tyree said proudly.
Lillian’s face was ghastly pale as she looked coldly at Alberto.
It was Alberto who gave Tyree the chance to continue to show off.
“Is it your turn to talk?” Lillian asked in a deep voice, “What were you doing in the Fountain Neighborhood?”
“Go buy a house!” Alberto said honestly.
“What? You said you went to Fountain Neighborhood to buy a house?” Lillian was shocked for a moment, and then became angry.
“Alberto, can you stop talking big? Don’t embarrass us!” Lillian said angrily. She had thought that her daughter was promising, so she could gain some face today.
She did not expect that they would be outdone by Tyree’s son-in-law.
Lillian was full of anger, but Alberto still bragged.
“Lillian, let Alberto continue,” Tyree smiled and said, “Alberto, what kind of house did you buy? How big is it? Which building is it in? What kind of decoration style is it?”
“I forgot,” Alberto said. He just picked one casually. How could he still remember it?
“You forgot?” Tyree laughed loudly, “I think young people should do more practical things and earn more money. Don’t always brag to play to the gallery and make people laugh, you know?”
How could he not know what kind of loser Alberto was? He dared to brag that he had bought a house in Fountain Neighborhood? It was ridiculous.
“Without comparison, there is no gap,” Tyree said clearly, “Lillian, they are both sons-in-law. Why is the gap so big between Derek and Alberto?”
“Look at Derek. He’s silent but capable, unlike some people who only talk nonsense.”
“Derek, introduce yourself to everyone,” Tyree said proudly.
Derek waved his wrist and rolled up the sleeve a little bit, intentionally revealing the Vacheron Constantin watch on his wrist, which was more than 200, 000.
“Nice to meet you. This is my business card.”
Derek said proudly. He was so proud that he did not want to greet Dayanara and her family and just threw a few business cards to them.
“I came back from studying in Britain and lived and worked abroad for a few years. This year, I returned home. Now, I am working as general manager of Sea Real Estate Company, the largest real estate company in Goldwich District,” Derek said with a sense of superiority.
Tyree was satisfied and felt that Derek had given him enough face.
“Derek is a highly educated returnee! As far as I know, Alberto seems to have never studied in college, right?” Tyree said more and more vigorously, “Moreover, Derek is young and promising. He started his own business. At present, he is the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company. He has the final say in the entire company!”
Lillian’s expression turned ugly.
Alberto, who was a good-for-nothing, was completely regarded as a breakthrough and became the subject of conversation. Compared with Derek, Tyree’s son-in-law, Alberto was useless.
This time, there was no chance for her to show off Dayanara’s accomplishments throughout the meal.
Even her own daughter, Dayanara, was mocked and could say nothing more.
She shouldn’t have let Alberto have this meal!
“According to what I know, the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company is not surnamed Herman?” Alberto said calmly.
“Alberto, what do you mean?” Tyree frowned and questioned unhappily, “What do you know? You sell barbecues with people all day long. You haven’t heard of Sea Real Estate Company. You just pretend to be very knowledgeable.”
“I’m just a little curious,” Alberto said. “Since you are the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company, why did you buy the lowest-grade apartments of your company?”
…
Tyree banged the table and angrily said, “What do you say? My family bought the lowest-grade house? You are just a loser. Can you afford a house worth more than a million yuan? You work for someone to set up a barbecue stall, and you can get 5, 000 yuan a month at most, right? You can’t afford to buy a toilet in my family for the rest of your life!”
“I’m just telling the truth,” Alberto said calmly.
In Fountain Neighborhood, the apartments worth 1. 2 million were the lowest grade. The apartment worth 2. 3 million he had bought was just the intermediate grade.
Moreover, who he had just met Bob, the general manager of the Sea Real Estate Company, in the afternoon. He did not know where this general manager came from.
“Some people don’t have abilities but just be jealous,” Derek sneered and looked at Alberto coldly. “You’re Alberto, right? I really don’t know why you became a live-in son-in-law. It’s fine to become a live-in son-in-law, but you’re so shameless. Since you don’t have money to give your wife face and buy a house for your family, then you’re jealous?”
“You’re just a gigolo who works as an assistant of your wife. I feel that people at my level are humiliating themselves when they talk to you!”
Alberto said, “I really want to know your identity.”
“Alberto, shut up!” Lillian scolded angrily, unable to continue listening.
She felt that if Alberto continued speaking like this, her entire family would lose face!
Alberto and Derek had a gap in terms of money and status. What was the use of saying more?
“No! Let him go on. I’d like to hear what this loser wants to say,” Derek said with a disdainful expression, “Say it?”
“Can’t you speak anything?” Derek sneered, “Look at you. You are just a bumpkin. Is there something decent all over your body? Do you know what brand of clothes and trousers a man of this age should wear? Do you know what watch to wear? Do you know what kind of car to drive?”
“Your level is really too low. I don’t think you can understand what I’m telling you. After all, there’s a difference in levels,” Derek said with a proud expression and a sense of superiority.
“I know your thought and fragile and pitiful self-esteem. Do you want to use words to defeat me? Is it so difficult to admit that others are outstanding?” Derek shook his head with a tone of lecture.
Alberto smiled and said, “What I want to say is, does Bob know that you say you are the general manager of Sea Real Estate Company?”
