CHAPTER 1671: CHAPTER 1377: I SHOULD THANK YOU

The Jonas’ home isn’t big, and the furniture is old, but it’s very clean and tidy, showing the hostess’s diligence and capability.

From the photos in the living room, it seems Jonas has two children. According to Mrs. Jonas, they both live in other cities and typically only come back two or three times a year, their jobs are tough, and their salaries aren’t high.

Bai Xiaosheng and the others finally settled on the sofa in the living room, and Mrs. Jonas cheerfully brought fruit and tea.

"Wow, such luxury! Pineapples, lychees, oranges... must be expensive! My uncle, have you struck it rich!" Lai Yin exclaimed in surprise and delight.

This guy wasn’t shy at all, immediately helping himself, and even remembered to include Bai Xiaosheng and the others, "Come on, don’t stand on ceremony, eat together."

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Lai Yin privately.

This freeloader was really shameless!

He came empty-handed, truly treating himself as part of the family!

From his words, it seems like this wasn’t his first or second visit, but rather frequent.

In contrast, back home, having such a relative when the family conditions aren’t great would undoubtedly be a headache.

However, Jonas and his wife looked at Lai Yin without any impatience or disdain, their eyes instead filled with affection.

"Mind your manners in front of guests." Jonas only lightly reprimanded him.

Lai Yin was a man in his late thirties, not a childish person, and it wouldn’t be appropriate to educate him in front of outsiders.

Then, Jonas and his wife sat together opposite Bai Xiaosheng, and Jonas solemnly said to Bai Xiaosheng, "Mr. Bai Xiaosheng, thank you very much for your help, for giving me a new job! My wife and I are very grateful to you!"

Seeing the couple like this, Bai Xiaosheng quickly stood up, smiling, "You overstate it, Mr. Jonas. It’s your talent and character that brought you the opportunity."

Jonas and his wife still smiled in gratitude, wanting to thank him again.

Amidst the touching scene, Lai Yin, with fruit in his mouth, mumbled, "My uncle, you don’t have to be so modest. You’re a capable person, it was only a matter of time before you were discovered. The one who hired you is truly fortunate. Show them what you’ve got in the future, let them know they made the right choice, that’s more important than anything."

This guy, eating doesn’t shut him up!

The words may be frank, but they’re not pleasant to hear!

Lin Weiwei couldn’t help wanting to glare at him.

"Lai Yin, we have guests, you must not be rude!" Jonas frowned slightly, scolding, "A proper PhD in medicine, how can you be so impolite. I think your current situation is all because of your mouth!"

Bai Xiaosheng is his benefactor and also an important figure.

Jonas witnessed Bai Xiaosheng casually chatting with Soruns and even giving the position of General Manager of "Encounter" Wine Group in front of the three wine industry giants, he’s definitely no ordinary person.

No matter the reason, Jonas couldn’t let Lai Yin act recklessly in front of Bai Xiaosheng.

Lai Yin pursed his lips, unconvinced, "Uncle, is this young man your boss or something, seeing how nervous you are."

Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t help but glance at Lai Yin, this guy really has a knack for sharp words.

However, he’s actually a PhD in medicine!

No wonder his interests and hobbies are different from ordinary people!

But even as a PhD in medicine, he doesn’t consider molecular biological analysis as an amusement, he’s simply a weirdo.

Lin Weiwei glared at Lai Yin, truly wanted to tell him, "You guessed right, this young man is indeed your uncle’s boss!"

Of course, Lin Weiwei eventually didn’t say it out loud.

And Lei Ying, seemed unbothered, sipping tea by herself, nodding slightly as if finding the tea agreeable.

"Lai Yin!" Even the consistently gentle and polite Mrs. Jonas frowned slightly, scolded in a low voice, "Behave yourself!"

Lai Yin seemed somewhat afraid of his aunt, immediately grinning and making an apologetic gesture towards Bai Xiaosheng, but his apology was far from heartfelt.

The Jonas couple seemed used to Lai Yin’s behavior, sighed slightly, shook their heads, a bit helpless.

"Lai Yin, don’t you need investment soon, perhaps, this gentleman is a good choice." Jonas suddenly interested, couldn’t help saying.

"Him..." Lai Yin glanced at Bai Xiaosheng, couldn’t help but want to scoff, but seeing Mrs. Jonas looking at him, he swallowed the second half of the sentence, focused on eating fruit, muttering, "Like I need investment..."

Lin Weiwei looked at him like that, immediately furious.

"Can this person really be considered a PhD? What results can he possibly research? I think investing in him would be a waste."

Lin Weiwei snorted coldly, whispered, intentionally letting Lai Yin hear.

Lai Yin lazily glanced at Lin Weiwei, seemed unwilling to argue with a young girl.

Mrs. Jonas smiled helplessly, and went to the kitchen.

Jonas’s face darkened, about to reprimand Lai Yin.

"Mr. Jonas, may I have a word with you?" Bai Xiaosheng didn’t wish for two sentences to spoilt the mood, immediately smiled at Jonas.

"Of course, please come to my study." Jonas said immediately.

Then Bai Xiaosheng followed Jonas out of the living room, to his study.

Jonas’ place may not be large, but it had two rooms, one very small, usually unoccupied, converted into a study. It could only fit a desk and two chairs, and with a half wall of books, it made the room seem dim.

Jonas specifically turned on the light.

Bai Xiaosheng and Jonas sat facing each other.

"Mr. Jonas, do you know who I am?" Bai Xiaosheng cut to the chase, smiling.
