Wei Nian found Chen Xuan's behavior of completely looking down on the other party based on knowledge quite interesting.
Although Chen Xuan's Japanese was really average, she was the kind of person who dared to speak, and Rong Yang was also very patient in correcting her pronunciation. Until Xiao Liba from Yuhuatai sent a special dish, especially a dish of cooking, Rong Yang invited the chef from Yuhuatai to come to his house to cook it.
Chen Xuan praised it as soon as she took a bite, saying, "I also had cooked eel slices in Shanghai last time, and I thought it was especially delicious. I didn't expect that the one at Yuhuatai is also so delicious, and it's not inferior to what I had last time."
Rong Yang said, "Yuhuatai specializes in Huaiyang cuisine. Now is not the best season to eat eels. I will treat you to an all-eel banquet in the summer."
"We'll treat Mr. Rong in the summer." Chen Xuan is definitely a carnivore. She enjoys eating fish or meat. Chen Xuan smiled, "We can't always ask Mr. Rong to treat us."
Rong Yang agreed with a smile.
Wen Yaying couldn't help but frown.
Rong Yang was a light eater, he liked to steam fish, and he didn't even touch the dish of eel slices, which showed that the dish was specially ordered for the couple. Wen Yaying didn't know how a country girl like Chen Xuan could deserve Rong Yang's invitation to dinner, and how a handsome young man like Wei Nian could marry such a rustic wife. Wen Yaying was offended by Chen Xuan's Japanese accent just now, and even if Chen Xuan started to speak Mandarin now, Wen Yaying still disliked her.
Wen Yaying stirred the bamboo fungus and jasmine soup in the bowl and talked about business, "Cousin, did your second uncle come to see you?"
Rong Yang smoothly placed a piece of amber walnut on the snow-white plate and asked calmly, "Is there something wrong with him?"
"My second uncle said that he wants to start a business." Wen Yaying glanced at Chen Xuan, picked up a piece of lightly mixed cucumber with chopsticks, and said to Rong Yang, "He thinks that the current cosmetics industry is good."
The amber walnuts were roasted very crisply, and with a little effort, the walnut kernels could be crushed. Rong Yang put the whole amber walnut into his mouth, and after Rong Yang drank a sip of water to lighten the sweetness in his mouth, he said, "This is very good."
"Cousin, you also know that my second uncle has no experience after all. He thinks that you can give him some pointers on business so that he can practice and do better in the future." When Wen Yaying said this, Chen Xuan's hand trembled as she scooped a spoonful of lion's head soup, and the lion's head soup in the spoon almost fell back into the bowl. She looked at Wen Yaying in disbelief, thinking that she had not misunderstood what Wen Yaying meant!
There was a hint of displeasure in Wei Nian's eyes when he looked at Wen Yaying, but he understood that Wen Yaying was insignificant, and what mattered was Rong Yang's attitude.
So, Wei Nian turned his gaze to Rong Yang.
Rong Yang was not at all flustered, not even his eyebrows moved, he just said to Wen Yaying, "I don't understand the cosmetics business."
"Cousin, don't be so modest. Everyone knows that 'Si Qing' is your brand." Wen Yaying looked at Rong Yang expectantly with a hint of tenderness in her tone. Rong Yang said calmly, "Although 'Si Qing' is my brand, I drove it to bankruptcy. The reason why 'Si Qing' has achieved its current success is because of the efforts of Anian and Axuan. I just found the right partners. I don't interfere with the business of 'Si Qing'. As a shareholder, I just want to get the dividends."
"I have also heard of the talents of Mr. and Mrs. Wei in Beijing, but my second uncle is not an outsider. Mr. and Mrs. Wei are good friends with my cousin, so it would be a good opportunity to ask them to help take care of my second uncle, isn't it?" Wen Yaying discussed with Rong Yang.
Rong Yang shook his head, "This is not within my authority. Whether to hire someone in the cosmetics department, and who to hire and who not to hire, is up to the couple to decide."
Wen Yaying was a little disappointed, but she could only focus on the couple. Wei Nian cursed Rong Yang in his heart, but still said to Wen Yaying in a polite manner, "Miss Wen's uncle must be an outstanding person, but our cosmetics factory is just starting out. To be honest with you, Miss Wen, the income and expenditure have just broken even. Mr. Rong just reminded me to save manpower. Otherwise, if I lose money, it will be difficult for me to keep Mr. Rong's trust."
Wen Yaying really doesn't know how to read other people's faces. She said, "Since the business is not going well, it just so happens that my second uncle knows how to run the business the best, so it would be good to let him come over and help you."
Even though Wei Nian had never met Uncle Wen, he could guess what kind of person he was just by hearing what Wen Yaying said. Wei Nian smiled slightly, "Miss Wen just said that your uncle has no experience. If I were to ask you, Mr. Rong has a great family and Miss Wen comes from a famous family, it would be a piece of cake to arrange someone for him."
Wen Yaying's face gradually turned cold. She did not appreciate Wei Nian's deliberate attempt to give her a chance. Instead, she said with a half-smile, "Now it seems that what I said is of little use."
Wei Nian wanted to deal with her again, but Chen Xuan had already eaten the whole lion's head and drank two mouthfuls of soup. She put the spoon into the bowl, interrupting Wei Nian's words, and planned to personally act as an "ugly person". Anyway, she had tolerated Wen Yaying for long enough! Although "Si Qing" is Rong Yang's brand, how much of Chen Xuan's hard work has been condensed in this brand. If it was someone recommended by Rong Yang himself, it would be fine, but Wen Yaying actually wanted to interfere in "Si Qing"'s affairs!
This young lady finally pissed off Chen Xuan. Chen Xuan had always treated "Si Qing" as if she were her own child! Now, Wen Yaying was actually trying to rob "Si Qing", and Chen Xuan decided not to tolerate her anymore! Chen Xuan was not good at quarreling, so she had to start with the logic. She said, "If it's your own business, Miss Wen, you can do whatever you want. You don't need to ask Brother Anian or Mr. Rong. When Siqing signed the contract, Mr. Rong personally agreed to split the profit 40% to 60%. Mr. Rong's 40% and our 60%. Mr. Rong cannot interfere in any affairs related to Siqing. Mr. Rong is not perfunctory with you. It's my Brother Anian who is perfunctory with you. Miss Wen, can't you hear that? He has no intention of agreeing with you at all. He is just going along with it. I have already set rules with him. He is not allowed to dance with you at the dance anymore! You are also not allowed to meet alone. If he dares to disobey, he will be in trouble when he gets home! What are you asking? Can't you hear that he doesn't dare to agree with you? I have the final say in my family's affairs!"
"I won't agree to you. Just now you laughed at me for liking to eat big steamed buns with mixed sugar and pork elbows with soy sauce! I love them, so what! Not only do I love to eat big steamed buns with mixed sugar and pork elbows with soy sauce, I also love to eat large ribs and pork belly!" Chen Xuan bluntly said the truth in her heart, "You still look down on me, and laugh at me for being unsophisticated in your words and deeds. Do you think I can't hear it? You offended me like this, and you still want to arrange for your second uncle to come in, you better save your breath! Do you think I'm stupid!"
Wen Yaying was so angry that she was shaking all over. She felt like she was shaking off two pounds of powder on her face. She said angrily, "The time I danced with Mr. Wei, you nodded and agreed."
"I was just giving you face, but you didn't appreciate my kindness. You also laughed at me and looked down on me all day long, thinking I was easy to bully!" Chen Xuan didn't give in to Wen Yaying at all. She said bluntly, "I really hate it when Brother Anian dances with other women. I warned him when I got home that day. He won't be allowed to be so unruly again!"
"You're crazy, it's common to exchange dance partners at a dance!"
"This is the rule in my house. What does it have to do with you or the dance? I just don't want to. What's wrong with that? I take care of my own husband. What's wrong with that?"
Wen Yaying felt that it was beneath her status to talk to a country bumpkin like Chen Xuan, and said coldly, "I won't talk to a fool like you! Mr. Wei, you are a real man, how dare you let a woman talk to you like that!"
Wei Nian thought, if I don't ask my wife to speak, how can I ask you to speak? Didn't I see my wife help me out? Besides, Chen Xuan got angry, Wei Nian was a little scared, worried that he would offend Chen Xuan and make her angry with him. Wei Nian pretended to be embarrassed, "She is better outside, but she is even worse at home."
Wen Yaying was so angry at Wei Nian's useless behavior that she almost fell backwards. She thought to herself, dog meat is really not worthy of being served at a table. It's good-looking but useless!
Chen Xuan ignored Wen Yaying. She stood up and said to Rong Yang, "I didn't eat well today. Miss Wen is about to cry. Mr. Rong, please comfort her quickly. Brother Nian and I will go home first. I will hold a banquet tomorrow and invite Mr. Rong to eat the mandarin duck soup from Taifeng Tower." She also stretched out a hand to Wei Nian like the Queen Mother. This is the gesture of a lady accepting a man's invitation at a dance party, which is both graceful and arrogant. Wei Nian hurriedly went to help her, even bending his waist. Wen Yaying was almost mad at Chen Xuan. She hit the table heavily with her palm, as if she was going to overturn the table. Chen Xuan was not afraid at all. Even if the socialite was angry, she didn't dare to make a scene. However, Chen Xuan still said, "Miss Wen, you can overturn it if you want. Anyway, this is not my house, it is your Mr. Rong's house. I advise you to think twice. Mr. Rong has never offended you."
Wen Yaying was so angry that she even forgot her identity as a socialite. She wanted to rush forward and fight with Chen Xuan to relieve her anger. Chen Xuan immediately said, "When I was doing farm work in the countryside, I carried two 50-jin bags by myself!" Looking at Wen Yashen's small body that was raised by eating cucumbers, Chen Xuan thought to herself that even if Wen Yaying wanted to fight, she would not be afraid!
Seeing Wen Yaying pause for a moment, Chen Xuan quickly took Wei Nian's hand and walked away. If she really fought with Wen Yaying in Rong Yang's place, Rong Yang would lose face.
