Chapter 8 Golden Words and Jade Speech
Xiang Fang wasn't stupid either, she knew that Wang Mingfeng was someone Zhao Boss looked down on and had introduced to her husband to make some money, so she felt a bit displeased. She thought, if Zhao Boss looks down on him, does that mean they think highly of him? Aren't they just being taken advantage of? Looking at Wang Mingfeng's plain clothes and the layer of dust on his shoes from earlier, Xiang Fang's attitude towards him became somewhat cold.
Yun Shui had made up her mind to establish a good relationship with Wang Mingfeng this time. Seeing her mother's attitude, she quickly remedied the situation and, as she was sitting next to Wang Mingfeng, immediately stretched out one hand to him.
"Uncle Wang, hello, are you going to cooperate with my dad? I hope your cooperation is successful, and I'd like to congratulate you on getting rich first."
Yun Shui is the kind of person who looks a bit cold when she's not smiling, but when she does smile, it's extremely endearing. Now that she's being genuinely friendly and showing kindness to Wang Mingfeng, her smile has become even more charming.
Wang Mingfeng looked at the girl's outstretched hand, slightly stunned. In his eyes, such a young girl was just a child who followed her parents to eat and drink, didn't understand business, and wouldn't be interested in adult topics. But he misjudged this time. The girl, who had been smiling faintly since she came in, actually shook hands with him and congratulated him on his successful cooperation with her father.
Is this kid showing off?
Wang Mingfeng thought to himself, looking at Yunshui's serious face, his eyes fixed on him, feeling a bit amused. However, he also felt that Xiangfang was not pleased with him, so Yunshui's attitude towards him made him feel somewhat relieved.
"Thank you for your kind words."
Wang Mingfeng reached out and shook Yunshui's hand, smiling as he said it was his first time shaking hands with a girl so young. He felt her hand was small and soft, but not weak like he had imagined. Suddenly, he thought that if he had a daughter, she would be around this age too, perhaps just as beautiful and lovely. As soon as this thought occurred to him, he looked at Yunshui again, who was smiling sweetly at him, and suddenly felt an inexplicable affection for the girl.
"That's it, my words must be auspicious."
Cloud Water's face didn't turn red, nor did she pant as she said to Cloud Jian: "Dad, I have a premonition that your cooperation with Uncle Wang will definitely be very successful and you'll make a lot of money. When the time comes, remember to give me a red envelope."
Yun Jian looked at his daughter, who was seriously asking him for money, and smiled: "If you can really make a lot of money, I'll definitely give you a big red envelope later. Zhao Ge, my daughter has already said so, if you let go of this lucrative business, don't regret it later!"
Yun Jian's words were to see if Zhao would take back the business, although his daughter said so, he was still unclear about Wang Mingfeng's project and was naturally cautious. This does not mean that he did not want to cooperate with Wang Mingfeng, but rather more cautious.
Xiang Fang was annoyed that Yun Shui had taken it upon himself to decide on cooperation with Yun Jian, and as soon as he heard Yun Jian's words, he immediately said: "That's right, Director Zhao. My daughter is just a child, and people say that children's intuition is the most accurate. Just like when a child sees a pregnant woman for the first time, if they say it's a boy, it's definitely a boy, and if they say it's a girl, it's definitely a girl. Now my daughter saw Mr. Wang for the first time and said his business would definitely make a fortune, and it's probably 80% or 90% certain. Director Zhao, don't regret it later, why not take a step forward now?"
Yun Shui couldn't help but want to laugh when she heard this, thinking that her mother was really interesting.
Yun Jian looked at his wife and thought to himself, "Where is this going?"
The young woman beside Boss Zhao smiled and said: "If Water Sister says who makes money, then it's really a good thing. Water Sister, you should also say a few words to Boss Zhao, and he'll give you a big red envelope later. How about 1,000 yuan? Buying your golden words."
These words sound pleasant, but they carry a mocking tone, and that gaze also reveals it.
"By the way, when I have a baby, you can also help me take a look, then I won't need to go to the hospital for an ultrasound, and I'll give you the examination fee as a red envelope."
The woman said another sentence, covering her mouth and giggling, pretending to be shy.
Yun Jian's face didn't look good, thinking that this woman actually dared to make fun of his own daughter. However, he was a big man and it was also unseemly for him to argue with a woman. He glanced at Xiang Fang, but saw her lowering her head to eat, making his expression even worse.
Yun Shui was no longer the little girl she used to be when she was over ten years old, and she didn't mind this little squeeze at all. She smiled and said: "I do have a golden mouth and jade words, but that's also used for making money. If I make a profit, people will praise me, but I don't dare to show it off, especially when it comes to having children. What if the other family doesn't want the child? Can I just put it back in my belly? At that time, they'll blame me! Sister, you'd better find someone else to look at this, I don't dare take this red envelope."
The meaning of this sentence is: You will definitely not get what you want in your next life, I'm not going to invite your resentment.
"You..."
The woman's face turned red, she didn't expect a little girl to be so sharp-tongued and couldn't think of anything to retort, only managing to grab onto one thing that could be used as a comeback.
"Are you calling me older sister?"
Yun Shui swallowed the food in her mouth, wiped her mouth with a napkin, looked at her up and down, then glanced at Old Zhao beside her and said: "Sorry, I was wrong. I shouldn't have called you 'big sister'. You're with Uncle Zhao, so I should call you 'auntie'. Auntie, sorry, I was wrong."
Yun Jian and Wang Mingfeng couldn't help but want to laugh, thinking that this little girl's mouth was too poisonous.
Xiang Fang gave Yun Shui a somewhat reproachful look, thinking that this kid was really trouble-prone. Zhao Lao Ban had lost his wife and now the women around him were changing one by one, but this woman was the one who stayed the longest, maybe she would be the future Mrs. Boss. Why offend her for no reason? If they offended Zhao Lao Ban together, their business would definitely be affected in the future.
"Old Zhao, am I that old?"
"I didn't say Auntie was old." The somewhat coquettish tone of the woman might have made others' hair stand on end, but Yun Shui was completely unaffected - she had seen even more shameless women before. Without waiting for Zhao's reaction, she continued speaking, "I'm showing respect to you, if I called you sister, what would I call Uncle Zhao? Doesn't that sound incongruous? Besides, I don't think calling you Auntie makes you old, just because you're of the same generation as my parents and Uncle Zhao, does that make them old too? I think they're still vigorous and full of energy! You wouldn't think Uncle Zhao is old, would you?"
"I didn't! Men are in their prime at 40, women are like tofu dregs at 40. Old Zhao, you're not old, I'm just afraid that I, like tofu dregs, won't be a good match for you. Don't think too much about it."
The young woman's face changed color, fearing that Old Man Zhao would hear Yunshui's provocation, and hastily pulled Old Man Zhao to start explaining.
"Are you saying I'm a total mess?"
Xiang Fang, as a forty-year-old woman, hearing herself being described as "tofu dregs", was ignited with anger, her eyes darting towards the woman who was currying favor with that man.
