I am chasing a rough man in the 80s -
Chapter 432: This is Bad
Chapter 432: Chapter 432: This is Bad
Suizi had been waiting for Lun Lamei to finish rambling before she quietly reached into her pocket.
She pulled out a stack of money.
Lun Lamei didn’t have a clue as to what she was up to and stood there watching ignorantly.
Suizi took out a cent from the wad of cash and handed it to Lun Lamei.
"Here you go, I can’t give you any more."
It did little harm, but the insult was immense.
Lun Lamei was enraged.
"Chen Hansui, are you treating me like a beggar?"
"I would give a dime to a beggar."
In other words, their friendship was worth even less than a beggar.
Lun Lamei was so irate with Suizi that she almost forgot about her agenda, her nostrils flared several times larger. Suizi could visibly see that she was trying to keep her emotions in check.
Quickly analysing the situation in her mind, Suizi thought that for a person like Lun Lamei who was incapable of keeping her cool to restrain herself this much, she must have come prepared, and about to play her trump card.
Suizi braced herself and waited for Lun Lamei to finish this "nonsense".
"Chen Hansui, aren’t you the least bit curious as to why Yu Jingting would spend so much money improving the recipe from Su Zhe instead of simply lowering the price to sell the ice cream faster?"
"Eh..." Suizi was speechless.
What was there to be curious about? It was her decision after all.
The couple had several plans, including lowering the price, engaging in a price war, and then focusing on the beverage sector.
It was Suizi who finally made the call - there was no need to wage a price war unless absolutely necessary, and she had no intention of giving up on the ice cream business.
The winter was just a test run; there was still great potential for growth in the summer market.
As for giving money to Su Zhe, as Lun Lamei mentioned, that had been decided long ago.
Su Zhe may have the aloofness of an intellect, but Yu Jingting was not an ungracious person. From the moment the couple decided to find Su Zhe, they had agreed to give him a sum of money, using the improvement of the formula as an opportunity.
And this was just the beginning; Yu Jingting was certainly going to continue collaborating with Su Zhe in future, and Suizi had thought of ways to win hearts over better than money.
Seeing Suizi’s silence, Lun Lamei assumed she was baffled, and her voice became even more triumphant.
"There are things you don’t know, but I do."
"Oh, go ahead then."
"Oh, go ahead then" meant "spout your nonsense".
Unknowingly, Suizi also started speaking like Yu Jingting, her gaze falling behind Lun Lamei.
Yu Jingting was walking towards them with a large bunch of candied haws in his hand.
"The reason Yu Jingting didn’t lower the price was because he didn’t want to offend anyone. Do you know who the factory director of the Ice Cream Factory is?"
"Er, should I need to know that?"
"It’s Shen Liangyin! A 24-year-old young female director who’s just been transferred from outside. She’s prettier than you, wealthier than you, comes from a better family than you. Are you scared now?"
"...If I were to be scared of something as petty as this, wouldn’t you have died already? 99.89% of women in this world are better than you, and yet you survive, don’t you?"
Suizi emotionlessly recited her roast. Being invincible was indeed lonely.
Now she could just casually apply Yu Jingting’s various phrases and basically roast anything.
Lun Lamei was no match for the "diligent and eager to learn" Suizi.
In the face of such a response, Lun Lamei was left speechless.
After a long while, she finally got back to her point.
"Shen Liangyin has made it clear to everyone that she has her sights on Yu Jingting. Despite her being three years older, nothing matters when you’re able to secure a golden goose. Their seats are even arranged together at meetings. You will soon be dumped by Yu Jingting."
Lun Lamei meant to say this the last time at the Su Family’s place.
But Yu Jingting’s sharp wit cut her off with "The Story of Lun Lamei’s Birth".
Lun Lamei waited till Yu Jingting was not around and cornered Suizi when she was alone.
She hoped to provoke Suizi with these words, but Suizi simply blinked and said,
"Oh."
"That’s it? Don’t you get angry?!"
"Rumors about my husband getting cozy with other women have been around for a while. Some time back, they said he was smooching someone by the river. Now they say he simply sat next to someone at a meeting. If you hear of them sharing a bed, then come bother me again."
"Chen! Han! Sui!" Yu Jingting walked over with a stick full of candied fruit pops, almost choked on them upon hearing this.
With a swift move, a loud thump!
Lun Lamei was flung away.
It was not Suizi who Yu Jingting "kicked", but Lun Lamei. It was more like a symbolic gesture.
"With your irritating remarks, are you planning to make me throw up my breakfast?!" Yu Jingting scolded Suizi while landing another kick on Lun Lamei’s leg.
Lun Lamei laid sprawled out, plunged into a snow pile by the roadside.
"She said...." Suizi gestured towards Lun Lamei, took a candy pop, and poked Lun Lamei’s head with the end of it.
"Still alive?"
"Ah~ Ouch~"
Lun Lamei struggled to get up, the world around her spinning.
After a while, she came to her senses and pointed at Suizi, sobbing,
"Why are you hitting me when she’s the one who upset you?!"
The answer to her question was a snowball kicked up by Yu Jingting, which landed squarely on her face.
"Because you’re ugly!"
Besides, since when do we need a reason for a beating?
Suizi tut-tuted.
"You, why are you provoking him for?"
"...." Covered in snow, Lun Lamei was speechless and teary. Clearly, Chen Hansui was the one who started it. She was just trying to annoy Suizi.
"Next time, quit using such a clumsy scheme to incite discord. You’re likely to get punched."
Suizi, holding hands with Yu Jingting, walked past Lun Lamei.
"You really don’t care?!" Lun Lamei couldn’t believe there were women like this in the world.
She had spent ages and exhausted all her connections to dig up this information, yet Suizi showed no reaction at all.
Yu Jingting glanced at Suizi, a dangerous squint in his eyes.
He was currently in a foul mood, and this minx better answer him carefully.
Suizi thought for a while, and took out that stack of money from her pocket again.
After flipping through it, she finally found a one-cent note, and stuck it onto Lun Lamei’s forehead. Lun Lamei, with a yellow banknote on her forehead and a face covered in snow, looked outright hilarious.
This was Suizi’s response. Your crappy information isn’t even worth a cent.
It took Lun Lamei a while before she realized that she had been cold-shouldered...
Yu Jingting, his face dark with displeasure, shot Suizi a sharp look.
Suizi didn’t plan on having any candied fruit pops initially, but the sight of them made her mouth water, especially since Yu Jingting snatched them away from her.
"Go and lose some weight, eat less. You used to be thin. Now, it seems like you’ve lost your spirit."
"...What did I do to upset you?"
Suizi couldn’t figure out why he was being so petulant.
"What did you mean ’only if I shared a bed with another woman, will you get angry’? So if I don’t share a bed with another woman, you won’t react? Is this your best as a wife?!"
Wang Cuihua came out to fetch some water, didn’t quite catch everything else, but she heard one sentence about "sharing a bed with another woman".
No longer concentrating on her chores, she tossed away her bucket, rushed into the house to grab a broom, and drag out the still-watching-TV Yu Shuisheng.
"And you still have the nerve to watch this? Big trouble! Your son’s behaviour is out of line, grab a kitchen knife, let’s tie him to a tree and neuter him!"
