Why Did You Provoke Her? She Can Tell Fortunes!-Chapter 389 - 372: So Can You Date or Get Married?
When he finally recited this long passage, he might have wanted to encourage himself if not for the awareness that the people around him were watching.
It seems like his brain isn’t that bad after all, to have memorized such a lengthy chunk.
Pei Jingxiao felt a bit smug, but didn’t notice Pei Hongli silently shaking his head beside him.
These kinds of empty sentences and phrases, even if spoken, are useless. Frankly, they can tell it’s something casually found online, and won’t be effective in practice.
To put it bluntly, if Pei Jingxiao had included some of his own understanding and thoughts on business, they might not have been so speechless.
Silently retracted his gaze, and several people together looked towards Wen Xu.
The latter unhurriedly swallowed his last mouthful of food, then put down his tableware and wiped his mouth.
By this point, Pei Jingxiao had already cursed him countless times in his heart.
What’s this!
So pretentious!
It turns out he’s fundamentally incompatible with Wen Xu.
Seeing all of the other’s actions makes him angry.
With a glance, he saw that Second Uncle and Third Uncle were waiting, so he naturally wouldn’t miss this chance to kick someone when they’re down. Pei Jingxiao even thought Wen Xu’s slowness was because he couldn’t answer the question.
So he sarcastically said, "Wen Xu, didn’t you see Second Uncle and Third Uncle waiting beside you?"
"My answer was indeed great, but you don’t need to be so ashamed that you don’t speak at all. If you really don’t know the answer, just say it directly. No matter how much you drag this out, it won’t change the outcome anyway."
But his sarcasm didn’t affect Wen Xu at all.
The other didn’t even spare him a glance.
This made Pei Jingxiao feel humiliated instantly.
Hah.
Let him show off for another two seconds.
When he can’t answer and gets criticized by the elders, let’s see if he can still keep that ’deadpan’ look.
Once Wen Xu was ready, under everyone’s anticipation, he finally spoke slowly.
The first sentence dumbfounded Pei Jingxiao.
"I already considered this issue last week."
Pei Jingxiao: ?
"Oh?"
Before silently eating, Third Uncle Pei Hongli showed interest and lifted his eyelids to look at him.
Wen Xu continued, "When visiting distributors, I found that many consumers’ concern about smart homes isn’t the price, but ’dare not use it’—worried about complex installation and unstable systems. So I suggest breaking through from the service side: launch a ’Smart Home Manager’ package, providing free survey, installation, and debugging services all-in-one, and even promise free system upgrades within three years. Collaborate with insurance companies to offer safety insurance for product purchase, dispelling users’ worries. In terms of channels, instead of squeezing into appliance malls, work with housekeeping companies and interior design studios, infiltrating the market from living scenarios."
Pei Jingxiao: "..."
Did this guy get the questions in advance?
Even though he’s not very good at managing company affairs, hearing this answer makes him feel it’s much better than his own.
Turn to see his Second Uncle and Third Uncle’s satisfied expressions, and his heart instantly felt chilled.
Why does he feel like he’s been stabbed in the back!
He wanted to add something to recover from the poor performance just now, but when he opened his mouth, he found his mind blank, unable to say a single word.
All he said earlier was found online. Without it, he probably couldn’t say a single word.
Pei Jingxiao never had much of a business mind. To this day, he thinks as a group boss, as long as he has money, it’s enough.
Anyway, he can hire many talented people to come up with clever ideas; not everything needs to be done personally by the boss.
So after taking over the company, he didn’t bother to learn and manage company affairs.
Now can only watch Wen Xu steal the limelight.
When he finally thought of something to say, Pei Jun ordered everyone not to discuss this issue anymore.
"I was just asking casually," he said.
Pei Jingxiao: "..." Who would believe that?
Pei Jun: "You guys don’t need to take it to heart."
Pei Jingxiao: "..." Looks like another sleepless night.
Pei Jun waved his hand, "Come on, just eat, don’t let such a small episode affect your mood for dinner."
He chuckled, then a glance went to the woman beside him, who lifted her eyes to look at him as if feeling something, picked up the bowl on the table, and rotated the spoon in the porridge with slender fingers. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚
"Yes, you say, why talk about this at the dinner table."
Li Mengyan glanced at both Wen Xu and Pei Jingxiao while speaking.
But it was obvious she lingered longer on the former.
"It really ruins the mood."
She spoke with a coquettish tone, although it was a complaint to Qin Jun, it didn’t make anyone uncomfortable.
Not to mention, it was originally Qin Jun who hinted for her to speak.
"Sigh...being with you big men all the time, really tires me out."
"Really, being with girls is better."
As she spoke, she suddenly seemed to notice Mu Yunchu’s existence, looked at her and said, "Hello dear, I heard you’re a Daoist?"
Li Mengyan spoke while openly sizing Mu Yunchu up.
Actually, when she came downstairs, she noticed this woman.
She’s just too beautiful.
So beautiful that it’s jealous-inducing.
And so young, so she glanced a few more times.
Yesterday upon hearing the servants talk about a very pretty woman arriving at the villa, she thought they were making a fuss.
Can one be so pretty?
Besides, who hasn’t been beautiful when young?
But despite saying this, she was actually quite concerned about it.
Heading out in the morning, she even woke up an hour earlier than usual, styled her hair naturally, and put on a barely-there makeup look, trying to outshine the other.
But the moment she saw Mu Yunchu, she knew she lost.
Now getting the signal from Qin Jun to challenge the other, she naturally wouldn’t miss the chance.
Hearing the question directed at her, Mu Yunchu looked up to meet Li Mengyan’s gaze, clearly seeing hostility but still answered, "Not exactly a Daoist."
"Ah? Not exactly a Daoist?" Li Mengyan said, "What does that mean?"
"Well, can you date or marry?"
A woman’s sixth sense can be terrifying.
During dinner, she sensed the man named Wen Xu and Mu Yunchu probably had an unusual relationship.
So she deliberately asked.
The question itself wasn’t particularly tricky, but paired with Li Mengyan’s sharp tone and greatly amplified voice, it gave listeners a peculiar sense of humiliation.
