Chapter 504: Chapter 504 Wang Dongcheng Boasting

Wan Dongcheng scoffed and said, "Alright! I’m curious to see just how beautiful this girl is that you’re all talking like this."

"Just make sure you don’t stare too hard later on." Dazhuang signaled for Wan Dongcheng to look toward the entrance. "See that? He’s her brother, obviously a martial artist. We might not be big shots, but we do have a reputation to maintain. If this stirs up trouble, a small fire in the backyard is one thing, losing our jobs is another. So watch yourself when you look at her later."

Dazhuang admitted that Li Shiping was beautiful and gentle, a good wife indeed, but that didn’t mean she was the prettiest in the world.

Anyway, he thought that this young lady, being so pretty at just a teenager, would only become more stunning in a couple of years.

"What are you on about? As if I’ve never seen a beautiful woman before," Wan Dongcheng was getting a bit upset. "I’m telling you, there are girls prettier than my wife. Not long ago, my brother-in-law acknowledged a ’sworn sister’ from Zhao Family Village, only sixteen years old, and that little face of hers..."

He didn’t finish his sentence and instead showed a sly grin that all men understood.

"She might not be prettier than this young lady, though. I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl in TV dramas." Dazhuang insisted stubbornly that this girl was the prettiest.

Wan Dongcheng, originally quite angry, feeling that Dazhuang was deliberately disagreeing with him, became intrigued by his words, "Now I really want to see how pretty this young lady is."

"Come on, let’s drink slowly, she’ll come out eventually." Dazhuang picked up his glass and clinked it with Wan Dongcheng’s, "Aren’t you studying for your teacher certification? How’s that going?"

"I’ll have it before school starts, and then I should be teaching at Second Middle School." When the conversation turned to this, Wan Dongcheng felt a little gloomy and downed a glass of beer in one gulp.

"Isn’t your father-in-law a professor? He must know a lot of people, and with your university degree, just ask him to put in a word, right? With such a solid connection, why even bother taking the teacher certification exam? Why go through all that trouble?"

The other people at the table began to tease.

"Exactly, if my father-in-law were a professor and we were well off, I wouldn’t be teaching. I’d be using his connections to do business already."

They had drunk quite a bit, and the conversation was more casual, with some bravado mixed in. Plus, since Wan Dongcheng had arrived late and was being snobby, the others spoke with a deliberate edge.

Hearing others say this, Dazhuang also chimed in, "Dongcheng, didn’t you tell me before that you were planning to open a shop?"

Wan Dongcheng’s father-in-law was a professor with a good financial background, living in Imperial View Garden; Dazhuang really thought Wan Dongcheng was going to open a shop. He didn’t expect it to be all talk and no action.

"The shop is definitely going to open." Fueled by his vanity and pride, Wan Dongcheng began to boast to the group, "My brother-in-law has registered a brand called Lanyue. They’re planning on expanding it big time, even going international. He’s given me a share of the business, so I can just sit back and collect the money without doing anything. It’s boring staying at home every day, so I thought I’d get a teaching license, spend a couple of years gaining experience at a school, then enter the company to manage things."

These words of his certainly sounded pleasant, and if he were talking to those just out of society who didn’t know any better, they would be envious. But everyone present was too clever for that.
