The Beautiful CEO's Super Soldier King-Chapter 172 [Show Off Class Begins] Eighth Update
Chapter Eight!
"So who was it exactly, Dong Zheng? Impossible!" Chu Qingxue’s mind naturally conjured an image.
The waiting time was long, especially today, which for Chu Qingxue was definitely one of the most unforgettable days of her life, even disrupting her usually calm demeanor.
She had hopes, hoping the proposal would help her, hoping to win the bid. But such hope was too elusive, all too illusory, impossible to grasp.
In the dining area reserved for the Chu Family employees at the bidding conference, there was an indescribable sense of oppression.
"What’s the matter? Why is the atmosphere so oppressive?" Ye Chenfeng arrived and saw everyone’s expressionless faces. He couldn’t help but say.
Everyone looked up at him, no one daring to speak. Chu Qingxue glared at him a few times.
"Hey, this is so dull, shall I tell everyone a joke?" Ye Chenfeng touched his head and said.
Surprisingly, Chu Qingxue nodded, "Okay, go ahead! Let everyone relax a bit!"
Ye Chenfeng said, "Alright, shall I tell you a few jokes about how the ancient people used to show off?"
Ye Chenfeng immediately drew everyone’s attention. Du Ziteng looked surprised, "What? Even the ancient people knew how to show off?"
"Absolutely, as long as life continues, showing off never ends. Being pretentious is an art, passed down by our ancestors!" Chen Long joined in.
Wang Feng squinted, "Then that means, we are being pretentious for the rise of Divine Land, right?"
Everyone started discussing, focusing mainly on the term ’pretentious’. In the end, they even categorized it into realms: the first layer was visible pretentiousness, the second layer was invisible pretentiousness, and the third layer was forced pretentiousness.
Chu Qingxue and the other senior executives were dumbfounded; after all, they were just a group of security guards, yet they managed to create a thick atmosphere of academic discussion.
Ye Chenfeng shouted, "Invisible pretentiousness is the most deadly, now quiet down, it’s my turn! The Ancient Pretentiousness Class is starting!"
Then everyone looked eagerly at Ye Chenfeng.
"First story, there were two fools in the state of Qi, nowadays we would call them clowns, one lived in the east of the city and the other in the west. One day, they met on the street.
"Brave man! Dare to drink a little?"
"Why not!"
Drink! Afterwards, both of them got drunk.
"If there’s wine, shouldn’t there be meat?"
"You are meat, and so am I, how can there be no meat?"
Then they drew knives and slashed each other.
Slicing meat to accompany their drinks.
In the end, both of them died from excessive blood loss.
"Pfft!"
Tea that Du Ziteng had just drunk sprayed out, drenching Wang Feng’s face.
"Ow, my stomach!" Wang Feng exclaimed.
"Haha... they really were showing off with their lives!" Du Ziteng laughed so hard he was in pain.
Others were also laughing uncontrollably. Even Chu Qingxue had a smiling face, and her mood had improved a lot.
"Ye Chenfeng, your skill at making up stories is really something!" Chu Qingxue remarked.
Ye Chenfeng looked displeased, "Ms. Chu, this isn’t just making up stories, this is from ’Lv’s Spring and Autumn Annals’. If you don’t believe it, look it up yourself!"
"Keep going, Brother Ye! It’s too hilarious!" Du Ziteng hurriedly urged.
The corners of Ye Chenfeng’s mouth curled up in a confident arc, "The last example of ancient showing off, actually, this story really is about showing off when placed on his character. However, this story fits me perfectly! On me, it’s a fact, it’s totally describing me!"
"What story? Come on, tell us, Brother Ye!" Du Ziteng and the others couldn’t wait any longer.
By now, Chu Qingxue and Qiu Murong already knew that Ye Chenfeng’s self-love had reached an extreme peak, his cheek thicker than twice the length of the Great Wall!
Everyone guessed that the story he would tell was probably about such a person!
"The last ancient showing off story, also the ultimate one! It can be described as the Third Layer within the triple Realm of showing off forcefully!" Ye Chenfeng laughed. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞
Everyone perked up their ears.
"Legend has it there was a person named Li Ao, who was skilled at showing off. He once said,
God is omniscient, but since I am second only to God, there are things I don’t know."
Someone asked, ’Master Li, with your awesomeness, do you admire anyone?’
Master Li said, "Of course I don’t admire anyone. If I need to find someone to admire, I just look in a mirror."
Li Ao felt a great deal about reality, he said he had two major regrets in his life: one is that he couldn’t find anyone as brilliant as Li Ao to be my friend, the other is that he couldn’t sit in the audience to listen to Li Ao’s brilliant speeches.
He could truly be called a saint of showing off."
"Goodness, this guy’s pretension really alarmed the whole nation, even the central party was startled!"
There was another burst of roaring laughter from everyone, many rocked back and forth, the previously oppressive atmosphere completely swept away.
Ye Chenfeng’s mouth turned upwards, "This guy really knew how to show off. I feel the country could use his cheek to make bulletproof vests! However, one thing, what he said does make sense, it probably describes people like me!"
"Pfft!"
This time, too, water was sprayed out, but not by Du Ziteng, but rather by Chu Qingxue and Qiu Murong next to Ye Chenfeng.
Initially, Chu Qingxue and Qiu Murong thought Ye Chenfeng was finished telling ancient stories of showing off, feeling a bit thirsty, so both synchronously reached for their cups. But then Ye Chenfeng showed off again!
So both of them burst out laughing, and Ye Chenfeng in the middle got drenched.
Ye Chenfeng wiped his face with his hand, shook his head, and revealed a mischievous smile, "No wonder TV dramas use Chang’er’s bath water to make flatbreads. It’s true, the taste of a beauty’s spit is delicious, using water drunk by beauties to wash my face, I feel so cute!"
"Ew!"
Chu Qingxue glared at Ye Chenfeng, "Disgusting praises disgusting!"
"So disgusting!" Qiu Murong chimed in, perfectly in tune.
"Ms. Chu, you seem pretty happy, you must be very confident about the bidding, right?" A voice laden with mockery came from afar, as Jiang Qi, with representatives from the Jiang Family, arrived arrogantly.
Upon seeing Jiang Qi, Chu Qingxue’s expression turned instantly grim, and she scoffed, "Is Mr. Jiang thinking of giving up then?"
"Haha, Ms. Chu is quite the joker. I have prepared for this bidding for so long, how could I give up?" Jiang Qi laughed.
"Oh, not giving up, huh!" Chu Qingxue feigned a nod.
At that moment, Ye Chenfeng stood up, "Long time no see, Mr. Jiang!"
Jiang Qi decided to embarrass Ye Chenfeng, glanced at him and disdainfully asked, "Do we know each other?"
Ye Chenfeng chuckled, "It’s normal for Mr. Jiang not to know me. After all, I don’t spend every day showing off like you do, so it’s normal you don’t recognize me!"
"You... Please watch your language!" Jiang Qi’s female secretary could no longer hold her peace.
"You..." Jiang Qi didn’t expect Ye Chenfeng to respond so quickly, originally intending to embarrass him, and instead found the tables turned.
