395 Chapter 395. Please?
When someone tactfully expressed that they didn’t welcome you, a slightly sensitive person would find a good reason and leave the scene with dignity.
This way, he could ensure that he would not lose face, and he would not let the host think that he was insensible and ruined the initially happy and harmonious atmosphere of the banquet.
But how could Ye Zheng be such a well-behaved person? He could defend himself even when unreasonable and was a compelling character.
Ye Zheng did not think much of Mo Qian’s blunt words. He did not want to establish a relationship with Mo Qian, anyway. It was nothing more than some polite probing and flattery!
“I’m just going to say a few words. I won’t disturb you for too long, President Mo!” He said.
As Ye Zheng spoke, he pretended to laugh to ease the awkward atmosphere.
His eyes had been fixed on Mo Qian the entire time. After saying this, he glanced at Zhuang Ming beside Mo Qian and gave a perfunctory smile before looking away.
Zhuang Ming felt that Ye Zheng was a little funny. The corners of his mouth slowly curved as he said, “President Ye is doing big things. I’m impressed by your ‘unbothered’ bearing.”
When Ye Zheng heard this, he looked at Zhuang Ming suspiciously. He thought, ‘Could it be that Zhuang Ming knows something? Why can’t I understand what he’s saying?
Was he trying to use words to warn him? Or perhaps, he was referring to Mo Qian?’
Ye Zheng was suspicious and cunning. He had a few hundred precautions against an old fox like Zhuang Ming.
He thought for a moment, then chuckled and said, “President Zhuang, you don’t have any reason to say that. Why do I feel like it’s so difficult? What do you mean by that? If you have something to say, say it. There’s no need to beat around the bush.”
Zhuang Ming laughed. After glancing at Ye Zheng, he turned to Mo Qian and asked, “Do you think it’s strenuous?”
The kindness in Zhuang Ming’s eyes faded away, leaving only a fake smile on his lips. He continued, “Why would President Ye waste so much effort? You’re just playing dumb! If I were you, I would have avoided President Mo and left. At this time, you still came up to us. President mo didn’t scold you directly, which already gives you a face! What meaning could I have? I’m just sincerely admiring President Ye!”
Mo Qian sat calmly at the side. As he listened to Zhuang Ming’s words, the corners of his mouth slowly curved up.
He thought, ‘It seems like Zhuang Xian is not the only one in the Zhuang family who is good with words. Everyone is good with words!’
Ye Zheng’s face darkened in anger after being teased by Zhuang Ming.
He fixed his eyes on Zhuang Ming and suddenly snorted coldly. He put down his wine glass and retorted, “Why do I feel so awkward listening to what CEO Zhuang said? Why am I acting dumb? If I have done anything wrong and offended President Mo, then President Mo will naturally find trouble with me. What does it have to do with you? Could it be that President Zhuang lives by the sea? Are you a police officer?”
He laughed sarcastically as he said, “Alright, I think your family’s business hasn’t been doing as well as it used to be. That’s why you’re so eager to flatter President Mo, right? When doing business, it’s always the wheel of fortune. Yesterday was your house, so today, it could naturally be someone else’s house. This is a very normal reason!”
“President Zhuang, you’ve been a businessman for decades. Don’t tell me you don’t understand this. It seemed that President Zhuang’s vision and outlook needed more experience. When there was nothing to do, he should not be envious of others! Zhuang Ming, you’re not the only capable person in this world!”
Ye Zheng’s tone was measured and eccentric. He spoke with enthusiasm and assurance, and his expression was sarcastic. He looked very arrogant.
It was as if the Zhuang Ming he spoke of was a despicable man who was good at sucking up to Mo Qian and currying favor with him but also envied their Ye family.
Zhuang Ming didn’t think Ye Zheng’s sarcasm could anger him. He even believed that Ye Zheng was a little ridiculous.
He said he was sucking up to Mo Qian and trying to please him? This was funny!
