In the "Six Stratagems: Literary Expeditions", one of the Thirty-Six Stratagems is the Beauty Trap.
As the saying goes, even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. Throughout history, apart from Guan Yu, no one has ever been able to resist the allure of a beautiful woman. What's even more strange is that almost no matter how shrewd a man is, he can't see through the trap of a beautiful woman.
At that moment, Nie Rong seemed to see his wife in a daze, but the female boss immediately lowered her eyes and gathered her hair. Her graceful expression was exactly the same as Mei Lu's. She was clearly a gentle and tender girl.
The moment he received the teacup, he felt an overwhelming sadness, lamenting the brevity of life and the fleeting nature of time.
It was also because he saw a beautiful woman that, though unintentionally, he subconsciously wanted to show off his refinement. He picked up the teacup, looked at it, and said, "Boss, this tea set is quite nice. It's actually Ru ware."
After smelling it again, he said, "This tea has the fragrance of osmanthus, so it should be tea from the Chaoshan area. But please forgive my ignorance, I don't drink much mainland tea, so I can't tell its specific origin."
The female owner smiled and said, "I've been running this tea shop for a year, and I've seen at least eight or ten thousand customers. You're the first one who can taste the osmanthus fragrance, which is already quite impressive. The reason you can't taste it is..."
First, praise Nie Rong highly, then introduce a topic that successfully arouses his thirst for knowledge.
He asked, "Could it be that there's some story behind this tea, boss?"
He took another small sip, nodded, and asked, "What's its name?"
The proprietress stared at Nie Rong with her alluring eyes, smiling before she even spoke. Her expression annoyed Liang Lisheng, who frowned and looked at Chen Rou, only to see that she and Song Yuanchao were watching with great interest. So he could only wait patiently.
After laughing, the proprietress said, "It's called Duck Shit Fragrance. Don't be fooled by the unrefined name, it's a rare and elegant tea. Moreover, I personally tend to all the tea trees that produce this tea, fertilize them, and pick the tea leaves myself."
Nie Rong suddenly realized: "So you actually own a tea plantation. My apologies for not recognizing you."
But as soon as he praised her, the proprietress's face fell again. She poured Nie Rong another cup of tea, but shook her head and said, "Forget it, forget it. It's all sad stuff. Let's not talk about it. I'm already incredibly grateful to the Party and the government for what I have today."
As the saying goes, those involved are often confused. Nie Rong just wanted to get to the bottom of things, but Liang Lisheng felt that every word the woman said was off.
But he was just a junior and couldn't interfere with his senior's business. Nie Rong was already angry. He frowned and said, "Judging from what you're saying, you must have encountered some unfair treatment. Why don't you tell me and see if I can help you?"
Song Yuanchao glanced back at the door and took out his phone.
He was a poor soldier, of low rank, and had never encountered a honey trap before. He was a bit bewildered by the female boss and was also a little anxious, so he kept checking the time to see when Minister Guo's brother, that General Manager Guo, would finally appear.
He was also quite curious and wanted to know what kind of story the female boss was going to tell.
He was anxious, and Nie Rong was anxious too, but the female boss just wouldn't explain it clearly at once. She just stretched out her hands, smiled sadly, and said, "Although the Osmanthus and Duck Shit Fragrance tea trees were left by my ancestors, and all my relatives died because of persecution, those tea trees should belong to me. However, I am content as long as I can help the state-owned tea factory with sales. I don't ask for anything else."
She seemed to say nothing, but from the persecution to the state-owned tea factory and sales, it was clear that her family's tea trees had been taken away by the state, and that she was not only a victim but also working for her enemy.
Nie Rong had been oppressed to the point of being a worm by his son, but at this moment, he was like Dong Zhuo seeing Diao Chan, his heroic spirit suddenly bursting forth and becoming unstoppable.
I only regretted not having given him the sword, but he immediately said, "It seems the country has wronged you. Tell me, what's the name of the factory you work in, and what's the name of the big boss? I'll go see the municipal party secretary tonight and talk to him about your situation."
Although he is old, he is still the richest man in Hong Kong. Even though his son is in charge of the company, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
The female boss probably didn't expect Nie Rong to be so helpful. She covered her mouth with one hand and then, half-jokingly, pointed at him and pretended to be surprised: "Are you perhaps that tycoon from Hong Kong... My goodness... You look so young! I thought you were at least eighty years old, but you look like you're only in your fifties?"
Nie Rong is almost eighty years old. Not only is he old, but his hair is also completely white and almost all of it has fallen out. Yet a beautiful woman praised him for looking young.
Liang Lisheng and Song Yuanchao exchanged a glance, feeling as if they were listening to a ghost story, but Nie Rong enjoyed it. He laughed and said, "You're not young at all. I could be your grandfather."
The female boss smiled and clapped her hands lightly. Suddenly, she leaned closer to Nie Rong, took a quick look, and then stepped back, laughing as she said, "Who dares to say you're old? I'll beat him up for you. In my opinion, you're not old at all, but in your prime."
Upon seeing the expression on his elder brother's face, Liang Lisheng turned to Chen Rou and said, "It's over, the old house is going to catch fire."
He added, "Damn, you're probably going to have a new mother-in-law soon."
The female boss had easily charmed Nie Rong with just a few words, leaving him completely bewildered. Liang Lisheng watched helplessly, unable to stop her. Just as the female boss was about to become Chen Rou's mother-in-law, someone suddenly rushed in: "Comrade!"
Everyone turned around and saw a man walk in: "You boss, how can you be so coaxing?"
The female boss also looked startled and asked, "Director Guo, what's wrong?"
The man who arrived was Guo Xiaoyong, the General Manager and Guo's younger brother. He slammed two large bags of tea onto the table and said aggressively, "I specifically instructed that I wanted the best tea from your factory. Look at what this is!"
So it was the female boss who ruined this Mr. Guo's life?
But that was clearly not the case, because when the female boss looked at the tea leaves, she said, "Mr. Guo, this is not my tea. You must have been fooled. But this tea is drinkable, so please take it and drink it."
