Chapter 160 What kind of straight man's speech is this
After more than a year of operation, the fan base of Daxian's specialty store has greatly expanded. As soon as this Weibo post was released, the comment section was immediately filled with Daxian's die-hard fans.
Everyone is very curious about what big news the Daxian store will announce, and they are also looking forward to the two new products that will be released.
"Senior sister, will you attend the company's ribbon-cutting ceremony tomorrow?" In the basement of the villa, Nie Heng, wearing an apron, asked while distributing medicinal herbs.
Ruan Qi, standing in front of the medicine furnace, checked the temperature and shook her head. "My identity is too conspicuous to be on camera. You and Yu Jinxiu can just cut the ribbon. I'll just watch from the side."
Nie Heng sighed, feeling it was a bit of a shame that his senior sister didn't attend such an occasion.
However, he also knew that Ruan Qi's identity would not be convenient, so he just nodded and said, "Don't worry, Senior Sister, I will definitely take care of everything tomorrow. Our Daxian specialty stores will sooner or later spread across the country and even beyond Asia!"
…
The next day, the sun was shining and the sky was cloudless.
Today was the company's opening day, and although Ruan Qi couldn't show up, the ceremony had to be there. So she got out of bed early, washed up, and headed straight into the cloakroom.
Not long after, the little girl came out after changing her clothes.
Unlike her usual casual style, she wore something a bit more formal today, a light blue shirt dress with a lapel. The dress was sleeveless, with a nipped waist and tiny white pearls embedded in the neckline, giving it a full OL style.
Ruan Qi put on her skirt, looked at herself in the mirror, and after making sure there was no problem, she went into the bathroom to put on some professional makeup.
Bai Li sat in the system, looking at the little girl with foundation and blush on, and her brows couldn't help but furrowed into a small mountain.
"Ruan Xiaoqi," he asked in confusion, "Aren't you supposed to wear a mask when you go to the company? Why are you still wearing makeup?"
This good question that touched the soul made Ruan Qi, who was drawing her eyebrows, pause.
She glanced at Bai Li and said speechlessly, "Uncle Bai Li, this is called a sense of ritual."
"A sense of ritual?" Bai Li, the true perpetually straight man, expressed confusion. "What kind of a sense of ritual is this? You wear a mask, and no one can see you're wearing makeup, so why bother? Besides, it's 37 or 38 degrees Celsius out there, your foundation will melt in no time. And what about the eyeliner? You have to wear sunglasses when you go out, so what's the point of applying such thin eyeliner? It'll all smudge with sweat."
This straight man who has lived for tens of thousands of years has absolutely no emotional intelligence, and the words he says can make all women in the world jump in anger.
Ruan Qi's hand holding the eyeliner shook several times. She endured it and finally glared at him angrily.
"Uncle Bai Li, I finally understand why you are still a single dog after living for so many years."
Bai Li: "...Why?"
Ruan Qi: "Because you have a mouth."
Bai Li: “?”
"Uncle Bai Li," the little girl looked at him and said earnestly, "Promise me that from now on, if you can pretend to be mute, you will never speak."
Bai Li: “???”
Ruan Qi: "I'm afraid that if you open your mouth to speak, you'll have to be single for tens of thousands of years."
Bai Li: “???”
"Ah, there really is a reason for being single." Ruan Qi put down her eyeliner and sighed, "How come Uncle Bai Li, who was so good, has a mouth?"
Bai Li: “…”
…
After a period of mutual hurt, Ruan Qi finally let out a sigh of relief.
She quickly tied her hair into a bun and went downstairs carrying her small bag.
Nie Heng had already been waiting downstairs. The two of them quickly finished their breakfast, then each got a small electric scooter and quickly left Yu Garden.
