Chapter 524 He is a born profiteer

Anyone who has done business knows the correct answer, and they all look at the Great Elder.

The Great Elder's face darkened. He looked at Bai Yun and asked, "Are you sure it's ten? Think about it carefully."

Bai Yun looked down at his hands and began to calculate. The more he calculated, the uglier his expression became.

Su Nuan looked at Bai Chen. The trap of this question was that it didn't ask about a specific number at all.

The space spirit said, "It's over. This isn't an arithmetic problem. Bai Chen probably hasn't come across it before, so he won't understand."

Su Nuan nodded secretly, "Yes, I was confused at first and thought it was compensation and reward, but then I realized it wasn't."

Seeing that Bai Yun was still silent, the Great Elder could only look at Bai Chen and asked contemptuously, "What's your answer?"

Bai Chen smiled calmly, "According to the normal calculation, if one egg is broken, the compensation is four cents, but we can't ignore one issue, which is the one cent reward, so if one egg is broken, the compensation is five cents."

"So the total reward minus the compensation paid will give the number of broken eggs: 458."

He paused and continued, "An egg costs eight cents on the market. This clerk has caused the shop to lose 1,374 cents. I will definitely not use him again. I'll find someone else."

After he finished speaking, he stood there calmly, with neither pride nor contempt in his eyes. He was so calm that he didn't seem like a teenager, but rather like a seasoned veteran in the business world.

The Great Elder was speechless and didn't even give a question.

Bai Yun's face turned red and sweat began to form on his forehead. He lost, and the answer he gave became the ironclad proof of his ignorance.

A gentle man said, "Is the Great Elder satisfied? What is the next question?"

The Great Elder snorted and said, "Bai Chen wins this question."

He pondered for a moment and said, "Next question: There are two girls. One is as beautiful as a fairy and comes from a wealthy family, but her family has fallen on hard times."

"The other girl is from an average family, has average looks, and is good at killing fish."

"Who would you choose as your wife? Tell me the reasons for your choice."

Bai Yun lost a game, and he was a little anxious, so he answered quickly: "I choose the girl who can kill fish, because she can share the joys and sorrows with me."

"Besides, she has the ability and can help me with my business in the future and make more money."

Su Nuan thought about it and it seemed to be okay. It would be better to find a girl who could endure hardships and make money together than to find someone who only knew how to spend money.

But Bai Yun gave the answer first, so Bai Chen lost the initiative. No matter what he said, he could not surpass Bai Yun, and the most he could do was a draw.

The Great Elder didn't look happy. He looked at Bai Chen expressionlessly and asked, "What about you?"

Bai Chen smiled again, his whole person exuding calmness, making people feel close to him. He was truly a natural businessman, and his performance was so perfect that it was unbelievable.

He said firmly, "I will marry a woman from a poor family, because she comes from a wealthy family and has a broad vision. She can guide me to seize better business opportunities."

"The most important thing is that she has good conditions and can give birth to outstanding offspring for me. She is well-educated and can help me cultivate an excellent successor."

"One more thing. As a member of the Bai family, how could I possibly let my wife suffer? What I should do is strive to become stronger, provide for my wife, and give her more time and energy to focus on our children."

"Only in this way can our Bai family become stronger with each generation, rather than having our family business ruined by incompetent descendants."

"Good!" the gentle man cheered.

This cheer resonated with the other men, and they followed suit. It was obvious that Bai Chen's answer was more in line with their thoughts.

Su Nuan thought about it carefully and felt that Bai Chen’s choice was right, because Bai Chen was considering things completely from a man’s perspective.

The Space Spirit said angrily: "Bah, scumbag, what's wrong with a woman who can share joys and sorrows with you? Can't she give birth to good offspring?"

Su Nuan responded somewhat sadly, "Don't rush to scold him. This is an era where men are superior to women. If he can say that he works hard to support his wife, he is no longer a scumbag."

"You have to know that he knew what kind of woman he wanted from the very beginning. Although he was purposeful, he was not promiscuous."

"As for Bai Yun, he chose a woman to share his joys and sorrows, which is a kind of dependence, because he himself has never thought about working hard alone."

"Also, if Bai Yun becomes successful one day, he will definitely choose another beautiful woman. Whether he takes a concubine or divorces his wife, he will be betraying his original wife."

The space spirit thought about it carefully and nodded, "That's right. Unless there is a clear stipulation that only monogamy is allowed, there is no man who would not take concubines, unless he can't afford to support them."

Su Nuan sighed, "Why are men superior to women now? Because men restrict women from showing their faces in public, but they are the ones who truly shoulder the mission of supporting the family."

"Most of them are good. They give their earnings to their wives and let them manage the household expenses."

"We can't lump together the few pieces of trash and erase the contributions of good men."

The space spirit fell silent. As a plant, she lacked human emotions. Her biggest emotional fluctuations came when she encountered delicious food. Therefore, she knew she couldn't criticize humans, because she couldn't empathize and judge right and wrong.

When Su Nuan saw the Great Elder start talking again, she immediately pricked up her ears to listen.

The Great Elder said, "Well, you made this choice entirely from the perspective of the Bai family. Bai Chen wins on this question..."

Bai Yun suddenly shouted, "I don't accept it."

Everyone looked at Bai Yun, not knowing how he would defend himself.

Bai Yun said angrily, "Shouldn't it be said that the young lady of the husband's family is of average appearance, while the fishmonger is as beautiful as a fairy? This will test people even more."

Su Nuan was speechless. She couldn't even stand on his side. Bai Yun had such low cognition and poor common sense. It turned out that people who received orthodox education were superior.

Bai Chen smiled calmly as always, "Young ladies from wealthy families cannot be ugly. Even if they were not born with good looks, after years of adjustment, they will definitely have fairer skin and an elegant figure. This is a kind of beauty that comes from the bones."

"A child from a poor family, even if he is a reincarnated fairy, how can he have good skin after being exposed to the wind and sun?"

"Without financial support, they want to show their faces in public, abandoning their sense of shame and accepting people's comments with a smile."

"When they get older, it becomes a habit, but deep down, what's revealed is not confidence but inferiority."

Su Nuan felt uncomfortable when she heard this, but she was powerless to refute it. Women in this era have always been oppressed.

Bai Chen continued, "After I, Bai Chen, become the head of the family, I will work hard to make the family better and better, and make all the women who marry into the Bai family feel that they have made the right choice."

"When the women of the Bai family go out, they are all elegant and wealthy. Do you think others will praise the men of our Bai family for being so great?"

This statement is very misleading. Men care most about their face in front of their wives, and their wives' praise is more important than anyone else's praise.

The elegant uncle laughed heartily, "Well said, now that Bai Chen has won two games, the position of head of this family belongs to him."
