Chapter 365 Mary Sue's Sister-in-law (20)
"Who are these two people?" As soon as Xi Ciming returned home, he saw two human-shaped standees of strange men placed in the living room, while Ning Shichu and several female maids were gathered together chattering happily. He immediately frowned and asked.
As soon as he spoke, the maids who were chasing after him were immediately frightened into shutting up, then quietly retreated like quails, leaving Ning Shichu alone to face Xi Ciming's questioning.
Tsk tsk, these women are really disloyal! Ning Shichu cursed inwardly before answering Xi Ciming with a smile: "This is a trainee from my company. They recently participated in a talent show and entered the top ten. They are very popular and are competing for a debut position. The maids at home like them very much, so I brought some materials back from the company."
Xi Ciming thought for a moment and asked uncertainly, "You still have an entertainment company?"
Ning Shichu had known that he would not pay attention to unexpected things in his work, so he was not surprised that he did not know that he had a company. He said, "Yes, it is not a big one, but the people in the company are good. Didn't I bring these two good seedlings out? Thanks to my good vision, these two boys are shining pearls at first glance."
Ning Shichu said with some pride that although Wendy and Zou Ning have not officially debuted yet, they can be said to be traffic idols. Their popularity is comparable to that of second- and third-tier stars, but because they have no works, their popularity is a little fake. But if they continue to perform well, the traffic will be stable.
When Xi Ciming heard her praise these two strange men with her lively eyes and eyebrows, he felt a little suffocated in his chest for some reason, so he looked at the human statue and said in a sullen tone: "These two people have medium-length hair, which is neither male nor female; the clothes they wear are also sloppy and half-revealing, which is not serious at all. How can such people be outstanding?"
Ning Shichu frowned immediately. She was very unhappy that the outstanding talents she had trained were denied: "Are you kidding? Don't the audience know whether they are outstanding or not? You are criticizing them indiscriminately like this. Isn't it a bit too much?
Why is their hair neither male nor female? Can't men have long hair? Wake up, the Qing Dynasty has been gone for more than a hundred years, and men have the freedom to have any hairstyle they want! Also, why are their clothes so sloppy and not serious? That's called personality and fashion! If you can't stand it, could it be that you are old and can't keep up with the trend of the times, and there is a generation gap between you and the young people?"
Ning Shichu questioned Xi Ciming repeatedly, and refuted all the criticisms Xi Ciming made with various reasons, and said that he was old and there was a generation gap between him and the young people.
When Xi Ciming heard her say that, he felt even more uncomfortable. If he was just holding his breath just now, now he began to feel aggrieved and angry, and even a little stunned.
"You said there is a generation gap between me and young people?" He couldn't believe his ears. He was only 27 years old this year, not even 30 years old. How could there be a generation gap between him and young people? He himself was a young man! Even though he was a man, he cared about others saying he was old.
Ning Shichu said unhappily, "How come there is no generation gap? Look at you, you comb your hair back all day, wear a suit, tie and carry a briefcase, you are very serious and do everything with a cold face, you are serious and old-fashioned. How are you different from your father's generation when you go out?"
In fact, what Ning Shichu said was a bit exaggerated. There is definitely a difference between Xi Ciming and his father's generation. The difference is that he is young and handsome, and he looks dignified and elegant in formal clothes and with a slicked-back hair, and has a strong aura. However, most of his father's generation have potbellies or baldness due to their age, and even if they wear formal clothes, they only look superior, and there is nothing else outstanding about them.
Ning Shichu was just angry that Xi Ciming spoke so badly of her subordinates, so she deliberately made him angry.
Xi Ciming was indeed somewhat depressed by her words. He pursed his thin lips, stared at her with his dark and deep eyes, and said, "Do you think I am old-fashioned and serious?"
Xi Ciming's face looked unhappy. He stared at Ning Shichu, asking her to answer. Ning Shichu met his eyes that had lost their calmness and were slightly confused. She sighed in her heart and couldn't help feeling soft-hearted. Forget it, she actually quite liked the look of this old-fashioned man in formal clothes and a slicked back hair. Why should she attack him just for a momentary anger?
Ning Shichu, who was dazzled by the man's beauty and sex appeal, immediately denied what he had just said: "No, no, I was talking nonsense. How do you look old? You are so handsome! You are not much worse than Wendy and Zou Ning. No, no, I should say that you are actually more handsome than them, but your aura is too strong, so people usually ignore your appearance."
"Who are Wendy and Zou Ning?" Xi Ciming grasped the key point and asked.
"It's these two trainees." Ning Shichu pointed at the two human-shaped standees.
Xi Ciming's brows finally relaxed, and the breath that was stuck in his chest disappeared without a trace. He felt refreshed and had never felt so comfortable. Ning Shichu said that he was more handsome than these two men who were celebrities, and Xi Ciming felt relieved all of a sudden. It seemed that he still had a lot of charm in his wife's heart.
He considered himself a gentleman, and when he heard his wife praising him, he forgot what she had said just now about him not keeping up with the fashion of young people. He only remembered the gentle look on Ning Shichu's face when she praised him, so he couldn't help but soften his expression and said, "You are also very beautiful."
These words were incoherent and incomprehensible. Ning Shichu was stunned for a moment before he figured out Xi Ciming's train of thought and burst out laughing. This man was really very serious. When he praised his good looks, he would praise himself back for his beauty. It was really laughable.
Xi Ciming thought that she was laughing out loud because he praised Ning Shichu's beauty and she was so happy, so he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and laughed along with her.
But when he saw the two human-shaped standees from the corner of his eye, he felt that they were a bit annoying and couldn't help but say, "These two human-shaped standees take up too much space in the living room. It's inconvenient to go in and out. Why not move them away?"
"No, I didn't want to move it. I got it back with great difficulty, and the helpers at home like it very much. I want to keep it for everyone to see." Ning Shichu refused.
Xi Ciming was a little unhappy, so he had to take a step back: "Then it can be moved to the backyard, right? If they want to watch it, they can go to the backyard. It's really not suitable to put it in the living room."
Ning Shichu blinked and agreed this time, and ordered someone to move the two human-shaped standees to the backyard.
Xi Ciming immediately breathed a sigh of relief. He put the portraits of two young and handsome male stars in the living room of his home, and his wife liked them very much. He felt a little jealous. At least he put them in the backyard, out of sight and out of mind, and he could comfort himself.
Xi Ciming, the serious and old-fashioned workaholic, has not yet realized that he is jealous of the two human-shaped standees.
