The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 560 [Descartes Methodologie]
Is this the king of drinks? You think it’s a three-dollar bottle!
"Thank you, Ye Chenfeng. I really like your gift!" Chu Qingxue smiled lightly, her dimples rippling, making the whole world seem brighter.
"As long as you like it!" Ye Chenfeng suddenly, as if possessed, touched Chu Qingxue’s hair.
This kind of small gesture was usually only seen between couples, Chu Qingxue felt somewhat shy for a moment, lowered her head, and dared not look directly at Ye Chenfeng, her heart pounding non-stop.
Lu Wanqing, upon seeing this scene, actually felt a warmth in her heart and even imagined herself as the female protagonist—the thought startled her.
Was she running a fever today to even think about being together with Ye Chenfeng, that jerk...
Lu Wanqing glared at Ye Chenfeng a few more times, which left Ye Chenfeng feeling utterly confused.
"Ye Chenfeng, what gift did you prepare for Qingfei?" Lu Wanqing asked curiously, her eyes scanning towards Ye Chenfeng’s suitcase, both she and Chu Qingxue thought there must be something good inside.
Ye Chenfeng glanced at his phone, then said, "It hasn’t arrived yet, wait a bit!"
"Oh!"
Lu Wanqing responded, then she and Chu Qingxue examined the bottle of Romanée-Conti they had.
"Ah, I’m so tired, let’s rest for a while!" Ye Chenfeng then found a stool and sat down beside it.
Ye Chenfeng took out his phone, opened QQ reading, and started reading the unfinished novel.
It was written by an author named Diwu Dugu. After Ye Chenfeng finished all the updates, he stared at the screen and cursed, "If you dare to update ten Chapters, I’ll immediately reward you with a chief’s title."
"Brother, are you back?" At that moment, Chu Qingfei quietly walked over, accompanied by Shi Zichen and others.
"Happy birthday, Qingfei. It’s been days, and you’ve become even more beautiful!" Ye Chenfeng looked up and smiled.
Chu Qingfei stood next to Ye Chenfeng somewhat coquettishly: "Brother, how was your trip to Macau?"
"It was great! I’ll take you next time!" Ye Chenfeng chuckled.
"Sure!" Chu Qingfei nodded vigorously, her face breaking into a broader smile.
Shi Zichen, standing nearby, was burning with rage; earlier, Chu Qingfei had disregarded him, but her attitude towards Ye Chenfeng was completely different.
Moreover, he could read a hint of something unusual in Chu Qingfei’s eyes—she probably liked Ye Chenfeng.
Seeing this, Shi Zichen subconsciously clenched his fists, a trace of coldness flashing through his eyes.
"Won’t you introduce us, Qingfei? He seems a bit unfamiliar?" Shi Zichen said with a harmless smile.
Chu Qingfei smiled, "This is my brother Ye Chenfeng!"
Upon hearing this, Shi Zichen’s expression changed; in the current social context, the word ’brother’ could imply an ambiguous meaning.
"Nice to meet you, I’m Shi Zichen!" Shi Zichen introduced himself with gentlemanly manners.
"Do you know who Young Master Shi is? The future successor of the Shi Family of the Eight Great Families in Capital City, and he has been studying Western classical literature for years—a realm we common folks simply can’t reach!" A lackey beside him immediately flattered.
"Oh?" Hearing this, Ye Chenfeng’s gaze shifted, well aware of the Shi Family of Capital City’s Eight Great Families.
Shi Zichen grew more proud, his lips curling into a slight smile, "May I know which distinguished family you belong to, Mr. Ye, and where do you work?"
Ye Chenfeng pondered and said, "No significant family background, just an ordinary person. As for being outstanding, that’s not the case, I’m just a web novel writer!"
Naturally, Chu Qingxue and Lu Wanqing, standing to the side, were intrigued. Hearing Ye Chenfeng respond this way, they both looked puzzled. However, when they saw the novels on the smartphone next to Ye Chenfeng, they realized it was just an offhand comment from him.
"Oh? Web novels?" Shi Zichen suddenly became interested and asked, "Mr. Ye, since you write, you must have read Rene Descartes’s ’Methodologie,’ haven’t you?"
Ye Chenfeng shook his head right away: "Haven’t read it!"
Chu Qingxue and Lu Wanqing had delved deeply into ’Methodologie,’ even using the methodologies discussed in it to this day, benefiting immensely. But it was not necessarily read by the average person.
Seeing the arrogant demeanor of Shi Zichen, they instantly understood everything; Shi Zichen was trying to trouble Ye Chenfeng.
Shi Zichen immediately burst into laughter, his words filled with sarcasm: "You write books without even having read his? Haha!" Towards the end, Shi Zichen even sneered repeatedly.
"Exactly, exactly. Hardly read a few books, yet writes one?"
"Purely Zhu Bajie wearing glasses pretending to be a college student?"
...
The followers of Shi Zichen kept up their various sarcastic remarks, and Chu Qingfei was somewhat irritated. She was just about to speak up to stop them when
Ye Chenfeng spoke up: "Young Master Shi, I’ve been recently inspired by reading Kusukaya’s books. Have you read them?"
"Kusukaya?" Shi Zichen paused when he heard this name, then he tried to recall any information related to it in his mind, only to end up disappointed. He had no idea who this person was, let alone her books.
But now so many people were watching, especially Chu Qingfei who was looking at him with great interest. Shi Zichen reflexively answered, "Of course! Just last week I was reading it. Her debut bestseller left the deepest impression on me—it crafted vivid, moving characters with fresh, beautiful prose that has an irresistible influence and leaves a lasting, profound impact, evoking people’s noble emotions!" Shi Zichen spoke with eloquence, his words flowing effortlessly, making him appear immensely learned.
The women around him sparkled with admiration, seeing him as educated, young, wealthy, and exceptionally well-bred—a perfect man.
"Young Master Shi is truly learned! Even this kind of book he’s read!"
"Yes, Young Master Shi must have studied this book thoroughly. You see how beautifully Young Master Shi expressed those emotions, he felt them deeply!"
"Young Master Shi, take my respect!"
...
The flattery from Shi Zichen’s followers continued, and Shi Zichen felt as light as air, almost as if he were going to ascend into the heavens.
"Shush, keep it down!" Shi Zichen made a silencing gesture, and his followers immediately quieted down.
After that, Shi Zichen looked at Ye Chenfeng with arrogant satisfaction.
Ye Chenfeng’s lips curled into a faint smile: "Are you sure?"
Seeing the ill-intentioned smile on Ye Chenfeng’s face, Shi Zichen’s heart skipped a beat, sensing an ominous premonition.
"Sure... sure!" Shi Zichen said "sure" with great uncertainty.
Ye Chenfeng announced loudly, "Let me privately tell you that the name I just mentioned was completely made up!"
"Gah!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the scene fell silent, and everyone was stunned.
