Chapter 435: The Biggest Chess Piece
"You also said that this is a decision based on my life experience. But my starting point and height are far higher than yours. I am not you, and I cannot use my life experience to replace yours. I can't, and shouldn't, give you advice. It's irresponsible."
Su Man, standing aside, couldn't help but secretly agree.
Although Xiao Beisheng's words sounded a bit arrogant, what he said was indeed the truth.
For someone like him, arrogance is not arrogance, but a normal state of mind. However, to others, it is just like Versailles.
When No. 10 heard that Xiao Beisheng was not looking down on her, but out of a sense of responsibility, she couldn't help but feel that she had another chance.
"It's okay. It's a great honor for me to have your advice. I'm short-sighted, but I just hope that I can combine my own conditions with your foresight..."
"You don't understand what people are saying?"
Xiao Beisheng interrupted her endless self-introduction.
Number 10 was stuck. She asked blankly, "What?"
"I can't give you any advice, nor do I want to." Xiao Beisheng said coldly, "You come to talk to me about your aspirations and career prospects. Do you want me to sponsor your studies, or do you want me to support you directly and be your financial backer?"
No. 10 didn't expect Xiao Beisheng to be so direct.
She bit her lower lip and looked like she was about to cry.
"My family is indeed poor, and I have to pay for my education myself. In order to complete my studies, I studied hard while working part-time. I came here to earn more money for living expenses. Not everyone is as miserable as you think."
Number 10 looked like he was about to cry, but he pretended to be strong and independent.
Xiao Beisheng chuckled: "How old are you this year?"
"25." No. 10 said proudly.
Xiao Beisheng suddenly turned around and asked Su Man, "How old were you when you graduated with your MFA?"
The eyes of several people present gradually fell on Su Man.
Xiao Beisheng, Gao Xun, and beauty No. 10 all had different expressions.
Xiao Beisheng was indifferent, Gao Xun was curious, and Contestant No. 10 was a little hostile and disdainful.
Suman replied: "22 years old."
Number 10 was slightly startled.
He felt a bit resentful and jealous. "This lady must be from a wealthy family. You guys are superior people, born with a head start. The achievements you easily achieve are something that ordinary people like us might never achieve in our lifetime. Just like me, to achieve the same results, I would have to put in dozens or even hundreds of times more effort and sweat, and devote more time, years, or even decades. If this can be used as a sense of superiority to compare yourself with others, then I really despise it."
After hearing these words, Su Man smiled calmly.
She said, "Although I wasn't born in Rome, I agree with you. Some people are born with the ability to easily obtain everything that ordinary people can't. Everyone's choices are equal, and I'm no better than you."
Xiao Beisheng wanted to use Su Man as a gun, but Su Man might disappoint him.
Although she also worked part-time to support herself in the beginning, in order to cut off her artistic path, Shen Qing not only stopped providing Su Man with tuition and living expenses, but also restricted Su Man's personal freedom, chained her up like a dog, and locked her in a small dark room.
In order to fight against Shen Qing, Su Man followed Gu Ziheng.
With the help of Gu Ziheng's family's power, he could intimidate Shen Qing.
Only then could she successfully graduate from university and even get a Master of Arts degree...
Therefore, she has no right to be superior to No. 10.
Essentially, she is no different from No. 10.
Xiao Beisheng glanced at Su Man twice with ambiguous expressions, his peach blossom eyes full of deep meaning.
Number 10 on the opposite side did not expect that Su Man was so easy to talk to and even obeyed her. She did not believe that Su Man could be so kind, but instead felt that Su Man was retreating in order to advance.
"Ma'am, this is wrong!"
"Oh?" Su Man raised her eyebrows. It seemed that No. 10 would not accept the opportunity given by Su Man.
"I don't know what you've done to achieve your goals, but I'm different. I rely on my own hard work and perseverance to pursue what I want."
Before No. 10 finished speaking, Xiao Beisheng sneered:
"I didn't want to waste my time and words with meaningless people. Everyone who comes here knows what kind of place this is. You say you're down-to-earth, but who are you trying to convince? From the moment you get here, you're eager to show off your strengths. Although you don't say it explicitly, your words and deeds are all about showing off your academic qualifications and your uniqueness. Then you say you're independent and self-reliant, down-to-earth, and that you want to draw a clear line between yourself and everything around you. You have a good personality, but your calculations are wrong."
Number 10 was dumbfounded.
The manager had been watching from the side. Although Xiao Beisheng said no, men are always very unpredictable in front of beautiful women.
This is a game for the brave. Whoever dares to take the risk and take a gamble, it doesn’t matter if you lose, but if you win, everyone will prosper.
Obviously, No. 10 lost the bet.
While Xiao Beisheng wasn't completely upset, the manager quickly stepped forward and pulled No. 10 away. "Isn't what Mr. Xiao said obvious enough? Stop causing trouble and go away..."
The manager pulled and pushed and finally took No. 10 away.
Su Man stood there, touched her nose, and felt a little embarrassed.
Who says straight men can’t tell green tea from green tea?
Straight men can not only identify green tea girls, but their minds are also as clear as mirrors.
It depends on whether they are willing to play along with the green tea or directly expose each other.
People like Xiao Beisheng poke people's lungs without any mercy.
At this time, a man dressed as a waiter came forward and invited Xiao Beisheng and the others to "come in."
It didn't specify what kind of venue it was, but Su Man knew it well.
They are about to enter the core area of the Golden Arch!
She was eager to try.
The waiter bowed and made a "please" gesture to several people.
Xiao Beisheng walked away without even saying goodbye to Su Man and Gao Xun, and left them far behind in just a few steps.
Su Man guessed that he was angry because of what happened just now.
He was angry that she did not follow his wishes and act like a hostess and slap the face of Beauty No. 10.
But Suman is not the real hostess.
She felt she was right.
Su Man and Gao Xun followed, and along the way, Su Man complained to Gao Xun:
"I knew your boss was straight, but I didn't expect him to be this straight. I was so embarrassed just now that I wanted to crawl into a hole in the ground."
"Hehe, actually I'm a little embarrassed too, but I've seen this kind of scene a lot and I'm used to it."
"A lot? I don't believe it."
Gao Xun was anxious: "You didn't see it, but our President Xiao is usually like this, otherwise the outside world would always say that our President Xiao is not interested in women."
"But what I saw before wasn't like this. That Wang Yuqing, the daughter of Wang Pharmaceutical Company? And Mu Chuchu, and..."
And Suman herself.
It was at a banquet that she was casually flirting with Xiao Beisheng, and he took her away.
"Those people are just smokescreens thrown by President Xiao to the outside world! Every move President Xiao makes is for the greater good. In his eyes, those women are just pawns. He is the legendary 'walking through a field of flowers without getting a single leaf on him'!"
Su Man nodded slightly.
What a great thing! Not even a single leaf gets on me.
So, she is also one of his chess pieces.
Yes, it might even be the biggest one—
A chess piece to pave the way for Luo Yan.
At the end, Gao Xun looked at Su Man and said, "Mr. Xiao treats you very differently."
