Wei Ji muttered, "What do you mean just arrived? We've been waiting for half an hour..."
Wei Yi scared back his complaining words with a glance. Wei Ji stopped talking and shrank his neck, being as quiet as a chicken.
Under Wei Yi's instructions, the kitchen began to serve the dishes. The exquisitely presented dishes were placed on the pineapple wood carved table, which made people's mouths whet.
Although Su Man was not familiar with either of the two Wei brothers, Wei Yi was humorous and Su Man was sociable, so they had a great time talking to each other. On the other hand, Wei Ji seemed like an outsider, useless except for adding tea and water.
Su Man noticed Wei Ji's embarrassment and said to him, "I heard that Wei Ji is a painter. He has a painting called "Wind". It is so ingenious and really admirable."
Wei Ji was surprised, "You actually knew that?"
Su Man smiled and said, "Of course."
Just searched on Baidu, it’s still hot.
Originally, Wei Ji was a little embarrassed to see Su Man because of the ridiculous things he had done, but he started talking about painting. Although Su Man didn't talk much, the few words she occasionally said were always to the point.
"Next time I'll show you another painting of 'Feather'. That's what Zhenzhen and I did..."
Speaking of Yan Zhenzhen, Wei Ji's excited face visibly collapsed. He didn't hide his feelings, and his whole body instantly became listless. "I painted this in a rice field."
Su Man said meaningfully, "When you paint a painting, even if you have a thousand emotions and meanings in mind, there must be someone who can understand your state of mind. Otherwise, no matter how hard you work, to others, it's just a piece of paper."
Wei Ji's heart skipped a beat. Yes, every time he told Yan Zhenzhen about his paintings, she'd always act impatient, urging him to learn business from her elder brother and take the right path. He should have understood long ago that they were never meant to be.
Seeing Wei Ji's silence, Wei Yi knew that his brother was having trouble again, so he said to the rescue, "Wei Ji, don't you like the crabapple tree at the door? Why don't you go and take a look at it?"
...
After Wei Ji left, the room became much quieter.
Su Man asked, "Boss Wei, do you still remember that you owe me a favor?"
Wei Yi laughed, "Of course I remember. Miss Su helped me a lot. If you need anything, just let me know."
"I heard that Mr. Wei recently acquired an e-commerce platform."
"Yes, but compared to the newly emerging e-commerce, physical operations are still more mainstream, so I don't put too much energy into it."
Su Man secretly shook her head. Having experienced the baptism of Jack Ma, she felt that Wei Yi was simply naive.
Wei Yi's keen sense as a businessman allowed him to guess Su Man's intention. He asked tentatively, "Are you planning to let Su's go the e-commerce route?"
"Yes." Su Man nodded. "Although the mainstream business is still brick-and-mortar, it's mostly because the current consumer group is still middle-aged and elderly. Once young people born in the 1980s and 1990s become the mainstream consumer group, e-commerce will inevitably become a trend."
Wei Yi had never experienced the e-commerce era and was ultimately skeptical. "Many categories cannot be sold through e-commerce. For example, Su's clothing, although there are model pictures, most women still choose to try them in person to see the effect."
Su Man knew she couldn't convince him right away, so she took a step back and said, "I understand Mr. Wei's concerns. I'm not asking him to shift his focus immediately, but I would like to ask him to help me open a live streaming channel in the e-commerce industry."
"Live streaming?" Wei Yi was confused. "Live streaming on an e-commerce platform?"
“Yes, live streaming on e-commerce platforms.”
This was not difficult to do, and the action-oriented Wei Yi immediately finalized the details with Su Man. However, just as Wei Yi was calling the person in charge to explain, Su Man received a call.
The other party's tone was icy. "Hello, Miss Su? Could you please come to the security department of Hongye Shopping Mall? Your father, Su Zhiye, caused a disturbance that resulted in injuries to employees. Please handle the matter."
"Okay, got it."
Su Man hung up the phone, stood up and said goodbye, "I'm sorry, Mr. Wei, I have to leave first."
Wei Yi saw that her face was not right, so he said nonchalantly, "I happen to be fine. How about I take Miss Su over?"
Su Man smiled reservedly, "No need, thank you Mr. Wei for your hospitality. I'm really sorry this time. Next time, I'll treat Mr. Wei."
Just as Su Man turned around, Wei Yi said, "If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. I'm always here."
Su Man was stunned for a moment, then spoke with more sincerity, "Thank you."
After saying that, she didn't stop and drove directly to Hongye Shopping Mall.
Along the way, her mind was spinning rapidly. Su Zhiye was detained in the security department. There must have been a conflict when moving the store. At this juncture, Shen Ling would not let go of such a good opportunity. Whether it was for revenge or to reverse his image, he would seize this opportunity and step hard on Su's foot.
Sure enough, as soon as Su Man arrived at the mall, she was surrounded by several reporters.
"Miss Su, I heard that President Su caused a scene at the Red Leaf Shopping Center. Are you here to see him?"
"Miss Su, do you think this conflict is related to the Su family being kicked out of the Shen family?"
"Ms. Su, President Su's assault is extremely detrimental to the company's image. How do you think we can restore it?"
...
Questions bombarded Su Man like a barrage of questions. She knew that the matter had become a big deal.
The more this moment, the more you can't panic. Su Man neither flew into a rage like the reporters imagined, nor did she deny it vehemently. Instead, she found the most beautiful angle in front of the camera and smiled, "Thank you all for your concern, journalists and friends. I just received the notice, but what I heard is a little different from what you said. The staff of Hongye Mall have just explained the situation to me. There was a small accident during the store evacuation, which resulted in my father and a staff member being injured. Perhaps the scene was too chaotic, which led to misunderstandings. As for the rumor that my father caused a scene in Hongye Mall, it is even more ridiculous. Our Su family and the Shen family are old friends. My sister Yan Zhenzhen had a good chat with President Shen yesterday. How could it become like this overnight? Please don't worry."
When the reporters heard Yan Zhenzhen's name, they were like hungry wolves smelling barbecue. After all, compared to business wars, netizens still prefer to listen to gossip about wealthy families, and the reporters' attention was diverted.
"Rumor has it that Shen Ling cheated on Yan Zhenzhen. Is this true?"
"Miss Su, will your wedding with Shen Ling go ahead as planned next week?"
“The breakup skirt you mentioned on Weibo, did you break up with Shen Ling?”
...
Su Man's smile remained unchanged. "Breakup Dress is the name of that dress. As for the story behind it, it can't be explained in a few words. I will do a live broadcast next Friday to tell everyone about it. If anyone wants to hear it, please follow me on Weibo. Now I'm in a hurry to see my father, so I won't say more. Thank you."
After saying that, Suman turned around and left. At first, the reporters surrounded her and refused to let her go. But after Suman "accidentally" tripped the reporter who was blocking her the most, causing his camera to collide with another reporter's microphone, and she accidentally stepped on two feet in flip-flops with her high heels, she finally managed to fight her way out.
The security department was on the underground floor. She stepped on high heels and pushed open the door of the security department. As expected, she saw Shen Ling.
Su Man ignored him and walked straight towards Su Zhiye, who was surrounded by several security guards. "Dad, how are you? Are you hurt?"
