“Miss Ye, my expression skills may not be very good. What I want to talk about is the future development of Wangshanlou. Could you please have your husband listen carefully?” Ruan Boli asked humbly.

That's what he meant, but what he really meant was that he wanted to say it to Qin Zheng.

Even though he knew Ye Yun was Mu Jingsheng's daughter, he thought that Ye Yun grew up in the mountains and didn't know much about business. In addition, the fact that she gave up a life of wealth and stayed in the mountains for a man was enough to show how short-sighted she was.

In his eyes, Ye Yun was just another woman like any other village woman.

In his opinion, Qin Zheng was quite capable. After all, he was a man, and even if he didn't know how to do business, he should still understand a thing or two.

Unexpectedly, Qin Zheng scoffed coldly.

Before Ruan Boli could recover from his surprise, Qin Zheng gave him a cold glance and said, "I really want to kick you out. You're really making me uncomfortable."

Ruan Boli was dumbfounded.

What's wrong with him?

"In our family, my wife is the one in charge," Qin Zheng kindly reminded him when he saw that he really didn't understand.

Ruan Boli was slightly taken aback.

Then, he glanced at Qin Zheng, whose face looked unwell, and suddenly realized something.

Oh... He was so focused on business that he forgot the most important thing: Ye Yun is Mu Jingsheng's daughter.

Qin Zheng was just a country bumpkin.

Faced with absolute power, no matter who is capable, wouldn't Miss Ye be the one to make the decisions?

Thinking of this, Ruan Boli looked at Qin Zheng with a hint of apology and sympathy. He was afraid that his behavior of bypassing Ye Yun to find Qin Zheng would make Ye Yun resent Qin Zheng. From the moment he entered the room, he noticed that Qin Zheng had been protecting Ye Yun and staying by her side. He was also reluctant to let her work hard when cleaning. Wasn't it all because of Ye Yun's status?

His actions have likely offended Ye Yun.

Thinking of this, Ruan Boli quickly smiled apologetically at Ye Yun, about to explain, when Qin Zheng suddenly retorted, "What nonsense are you thinking?"

"ah?"

Ruan Boli was stunned again.

He hasn't even explained yet, so why is he being scolded again?

Qin Zheng immediately saw what Ruan Boli was thinking with that expression. His face darkened. This old scoundrel's contempt for women was truly deeply ingrained.

He doesn't care about other women, but his wife is so capable, how could she be someone others look down on?

"No, don't be so quick to scold me." Ruan Boli thought Qin Zheng was eager to win Ye Yun's favor, so he apologized to Ye Yun as well, "Miss Ye, it was my fault. I was ignorant. As Boss Mu's daughter, how could you be as useless as I thought? I was so wrong."

"Ah, indeed."

Ye Yun sneered, lowered her head and drank a sip of the warm water Qin Zheng had specially brought for her, not even glancing at Ruan Boli.

Ruan Boli opened his mouth in astonishment.

Seeing Ye Yun's displeased expression, he didn't know where to begin and looked to Qin Zheng for help.

Qin Zheng gave a cold snort.

"Mr. Ruan, do you know that the courtyard you've taken a liking to was chosen by my wife because she saw its value at first glance?"

My wife not only bought this yard, but also the empty house and the vacant land.

Not only that, she also ran a small business to support our whole family and opened a branch in the county town.

She wasn't idle in the county town either. With her own abilities, she entered the county town garment factory and became the deputy director of the factory, earning just as much money as you.

Do you think we just came out of the mountains?

You wish!

My wife and I have always lived in the county town. If it weren't for the holidays, I would never have seen my wife.

You think you're so capable of starting a business? You're making a little money but you don't know your own limitations.

From the moment I met my wife, she has been the head of our household. She handles all the business deals and makes all the decisions!

You mistook me for someone else the moment you walked in, and you haven't realized all afternoon that my wife is the one in charge of the household. If you ask me, you should just pluck out those two useless things under your eyebrows; it's a waste of time!

Crackle, crackle.

Qin Zheng's words poured out like beans, hitting Ruan Boli's head and leaving him dumbfounded and speechless.

As Qin Zheng spoke, his expression grew increasingly grim.

Shock, regret, pain, and deep anxiety all rushed through his mind as he looked at Ye Yun, who remained calmly seated on the stool.

He quickly apologized, "Miss Ye, I..."

"Hey, Mr. Ruan, you're not looking down on my wife, so why are you so afraid of her?" Qin Zheng sneered, his tone tinged with schadenfreude, deliberately emphasizing, "Even if my wife is the daughter of a big entrepreneur in Lin'an, she's still just a... woman."

Ruan Boli immediately made a face, "Brother, please stop teasing me..."

Is it not enough that he was wrong?

How could he have known that Ye Yun was so capable?

Judging from Ye Yun's plain clothes and pretty face, isn't she just a typical woman with a pretty face but no brains?

But who knew she was playing dumb to fool everyone?

Ye Yun merely glanced at him indifferently, her expression unchanged, and sipped the warm water in her hand.

"Mr. Ruan, you said 'womanly' yourself, didn't you?" After a long while, she smiled, a hint of displeasure in her eyes.

Ruan Boli quickly shook his head, "No, no, no, I was blind."

"Yes, the woman you speak of has disappointed you. Not only did she buy the Wangshanlou that you also coveted, but she also started a small business from scratch and opened a branch in the county town. She became the deputy director of the county town's garment factory through her abilities, and she's sitting right in front of you listening to you scold her as a useless woman."

Ruan Boli was speechless.

Oh God, he really wants to escape.

"To be honest, Mr. Ruan, I am indeed quite angry," Ye Yun said, looking at him indifferently with a hint of sarcasm in her tone. "It's not because I'm angry that you look down on me, but because I'm angry that all women are looked down upon. What era are we living in? You still think women can't do business without brains? The Qing Dynasty has been gone for so long, how come you're still left to wreak havoc on our beautiful society?"

Ruan Boli: "..."

Sigh!

Go ahead and curse him, curse him to death! Who told him to be the most despicable!

"If I'm not mistaken, what Boss Ruan is trying to say is that this place will become a popular tourist attraction in the future, and in order to make the most of the Wangshan Tower and maximize profits, he wants to expand the Wangshan Tower and build a guesthouse, right?" Ye Yun said calmly.

Ruan Boli's eyebrows furrowed in surprise.

His expression changed from "Huh?"

He said, "Eh..."

Then: "Hey!"

Absolutely fantastic.

He stared blankly at Ye Yun, as if he had lost the ability to speak.

Perhaps before this, he was only being subservient to Ye Yun out of respect for Mu Jingsheng, but at this moment, he truly realized Ye Yun's abilities. Even some men might not have her business acumen, and he could no longer call her a "woman".

yes.

Like father, like son. How could a business genius like Mu Jingsheng have mediocre offspring?
