Xia Tian said anxiously, "Brother Ma, I'm at a loss right now, I don't know what to do."
Ma Yunfei asked, "Xia Tian, what's the situation with the person your dad introduced you to?"
“My dad said that the person he introduced me to is a university professor, who I heard has a PhD and is almost thirty years old.”
Ma Yunfei chuckled and said, "That's strange. Your father is a businessman, so why would he introduce you to a bookworm?"
“My dad really envies those bookish families. He thinks they have good taste, unlike us business families, where the whole house smells like money.”
"Tianmei, do you like intellectuals?"
"I think: as long as I meet someone I'm attracted to, I'll like them, regardless of what kind of job they do or whether they have money."
"Tianmei, it seems you prioritize relationships. I think you should go on a blind date. Maybe you'll meet your Prince Charming."
“Brother Ma, stop teasing me. Yesterday, I saw this nerd’s picture and I was shocked at first glance.”
"What's wrong? Is it some kind of ugly monster?"
"This bookworm was wearing thick glasses and holding a two-inch-thick book in his hand. I almost threw up. Why would he hold a book in his hand for a photo? Was it to show that he was cultured and knowledgeable? What a weirdo."
"Maybe someone took this photo while reading a book. There's nothing wrong with that. It's more respectable than holding a rice bowl in your hand."
"Brother Ma, guess what book he's holding?"
"Tianmei, how could I possibly guess? There are just too many books in the world."
"Brother Ma, I took a closer look at the book he was holding and discovered that the title was: On..."
"Not a human being."
Ma Yunfei exclaimed in surprise, "If a person isn't a person, then what is a person? This question is worthy of being the subject of a two-inch-thick book!"
"Brother Ma, I also want to tell you: this book was actually written by this little bespectacled guy."
"Haha... If a person isn't a person, then what is? I'm curious to know what the conclusion of this book is."
“Brother Ma, I think there’s something wrong with this guy with glasses. Do you think he’s crazy because he’s studying people who aren’t human?”
"Tianmei, what does this little bespectacled girl study?"
"I heard he's a philosopher."
Ma Yunfei understood and sighed, "Alright, Tianmei, I dare say: when you meet him, the topics of conversation will definitely be very interesting."
"Is it interesting? I don't think it's interesting. I just think that living with someone who doesn't feel like a human being would definitely be boring."
"Tianmei, when are you two going to meet?"
"Meet at the Fate Tea House at 2 PM the day after tomorrow."
Who chose the meeting place?
"I heard that the guy with glasses chose it, and he also chose the time."
"Haha... Interesting, Tianmei. I suggest you go and meet him. You might broaden your horizons quite a bit."
"Brother Ma, you...you don't care about me at all. Do you want to marry me off as soon as possible so you won't have to bother me?"
"Tianmei, what are you saying? Of course I hope you find happiness, but this little guy with glasses probably won't bring you happiness, he'll only bring you trouble."
"Brother Ma, what if I meet this guy with glasses and he falls for me?"
"Tianmei, you can make him dislike you."
How can I make him dislike me?
Ma Yunfei was an economist in his previous life and was nominated for the Nobel Prize twice. It can be said that he was far more knowledgeable than this bespectacled man.
Ma Yunfei understood the psychology of intellectuals, so he gave Xia Tian an idea.
After hearing Ma Yunfei's idea, Xia Tian laughed heartily and said, "Brother Ma, you're really something. However, to be on the safe side, I think Brother Ma should come to City A. We need to put on a good show."
Ma Yunfei asked, puzzled, "What play?"
Xia Tian expressed her opinion, and Ma Yunfei laughed and said, "Tianmei, you're ruining your reputation! What if Little Glasses tells your father about this? How will you handle that?"
"No, I think intellectuals are trustworthy. If I ask Little Glasses to keep this a secret, he will definitely agree."
Ma Yunfei thought for a moment and agreed, "Okay, then I'll deliver the yams with the abbot tomorrow. After that, I'll stay in City A and accompany you to your blind date the day after tomorrow. If necessary, we'll put on a show."
The next day, Ma Yunfei and the abbot took five trucks and 200,000 jin of yams to City A.
As dusk fell, we arrived at the courtyard of Jiufa Company.
When Xia Jiufa saw Ma Yunfei arrive, his brows furrowed, and he asked with a stern face, "Little Ma, why did you come here? Didn't we agree that the abbot would deliver the yams alone?"
"Godfather, the main reason I came to City A this time is to see a doctor. I haven't been able to sleep lately; I've been suffering from severe insomnia."
"Little Ma, are you having trouble sleeping because you're always thinking about wicked ideas?"
"Godfather, I... I might have a thousand wicked ideas, but I would never target Xia Tian. Please rest assured about that."
Xia Jiufa scolded, "Who is your godfather? I have never recognized you as my godson."
Ma Yunfei said with a smile, "Xia Tian and I have already become sworn siblings, so you naturally become my godfather. This doesn't require any approval."
"You...you want to force me to accept you as my godson? That's outrageous! I'll say it again: I will not accept you as my godson."
“Godfather, let me reiterate: this doesn’t require your approval, it’s formed naturally. For example, when your wife gave birth to Xia Tian, you naturally became Xia Tian’s father, that’s the same principle.”
"You...you want to force me to be your godfather, how shameless."
"Hehe... Godfather, business people have to be thick-skinned. My skin is thicker than a city wall."
Xia Jiufa said helplessly, "I don't have time to argue with you."
He glanced at the yams on the truck and said with satisfaction, "The yams from your Qinglong Town are of good quality. Recently, the price of yams has risen sharply. You need to speed up the purchase and make more money while you can."
"Godfather, we can harvest more than 20,000 catties a day now, which is fast enough. However, the growers don't have many yams left. I've been thinking about what to do next. Godfather, could you give me some advice?"
Xia Jiufa said, "I heard from my daughter that you are planning to do deep processing of yams next. I think it's a good idea. Recently, I've also been inquiring about the sales channels for yam powder."
“Godfather, if there is a market for yam powder and the price is right, I’m ready to start building a yam processing plant immediately.”
"Kid, you're pretty smart, you've got business potential. But you're a bit of a womanizer, I'm worried you'll steal my daughter away."
