230 A Bunch of Good-for-nothings
The bald middle-aged man who wanted to take advantage of Chu Ning could only withdraw his hand and return to his seat awkwardly after hearing her answer.
“That’s right, you guys are indeed older than me, but what does age show? Can there be no rules just because you’re older? Does being older mean that one can have no respect for others? Does being older mean that you don’t need to have a sense of time? Or is it that when people reach a certain age, they will become like you? If that’s the case, then in this society, many people don’t have to do anything and just have to wait to grow old. After all, age is omnipotent.”
Chu Ning was no longer courteous. She had planned to be nice that day but, looking at the others, there was no need to.
They would only take the respect of others for granted.
“You!” Chu Ning’s words instantly angered a thin middle-aged man.
“Wen An, is this the President Chu you were talking about? Is this the attitude she should have when we’re collaborating?” Another person couldn’t sit still and immediately ranted.
However, Wen An only spread his hands, indicating that he had no other choice. He really didn’t know that Chu Ning could speak that well.
“I don’t think there’s anything wrong with my attitude. I’ll naturally speak nicely to a polite person. Also, you’ve wasted so much of these service staff’s time, but they didn’t complain at all,” Chu Ning said, pointing at the two service staff standing by the door.
The two service staff who Chu Ning pointed at were secretly happy. They had not expected to see such a good show that day.
“It’s fine. It’s our duty to serve you.” The two service staff said seriously.
“President Chu! You’re too much, how can our status be compared to these service staff? You really don’t treat us as humans!” Among the four people, one of them was so angry that his face turned red and he immediately shouted.
“Ah? Everyone’s common identity seems to be human, right? And what do you mean by saying this now?” Chu Ning replied innocently.
“You!” The person who questioned Chu Ning couldn’t find a good retort for the moment. He knew that he couldn’t win in an argument with Chu Ning.
“President Chu, you’re going too far. We’re all doing business in M City, and we’ll need to help each other out in the future. You’re being too childish by doing this.”
Among the four of them, there were still some who were slightly smarter and immediately spoke up to help their companions out.
“The premise of helping each other is that our strength is about the same. What makes you think you can compete with me? Who gave you the right?” Chu Ning replied without any hesitation.
“President Chu, you have to know that we represent the interests of many people. In other words, aren’t you afraid that we’ll team up against you? You’ve only entered our circle recently, right?”
The person who spoke up to help his companion was trying to test Chu Ning while intimidating her.
“How many resources you have and how big your background is has nothing to do with me. After all, you guys never intended to accept a newcomer like me.” Chu Ning said evenly.
“You should thank Village Chief Wen. After all, after meeting me in advance, you will have time to prepare,” Chu Ning added after a pause.
“Young lady, it’s good to be young and impetuous. After all, I was young once. But have you considered the consequences? I advise you to think about it carefully. Maybe it’s not a bad choice to rely on us.”
The bald middle-aged man squinted his eyes. He looked at Chu Ning with undisguised desire.
“You’re all already of a certain age. If I’m not mistaken, the person who has worked with Qinghe village for the shortest time has been working with them for almost 13 years, right? But what was the result? Even though you have such a good resource like Qinghe village, after so many years, the agricultural product market in M City is still a mess. There is no one who is really good enough to make a move.”
Chu Ning couldn’t help but chuckle.
“Or is the ability you’re talking about just coming together to scare a young girl like me who hasn’t seen the world?” Chu Ning looked at the four of them indifferently. Their combined abilities were not even as good as Wen An’s.
Although Wen An was polite and respectful to her, he had inadvertently almost made her suffer. These people were older than her and Wen An, but they posed no threat to Chu Ning.
