229 Putting on Airs
Even at seven o’clock, the promised distributors were yet to arrive.
Wen An made a phone call during this time, but the answer he was given was that they were still on the way.
“President Chu, my apologies. I really didn’t think things through properly this time,” Wen An said to Chu Ning apologetically.
“It’s fine, let’s just wait. I believe they’ll definitely come today. However, Village Chief Wen, are you in a hurry?” Chu Ning said indifferently.
She knew that these people were putting on airs on purpose. Wen An might not feel embarrassed at all. The current situation must have been within his expectations. Wen An no longer made things difficult for herself because of her gender and age. However, the others may not think in the same way.
Finally, at around eight o’clock, the four distributors arrived.
“Hey, Village Chief Wen, we haven’t seen each other for more than a week. When did you find a woman? You didn’t even tell us.”
The leader of the four looked at Chu Ning and said with a perverted smile.
Just as Wen An was about to rebut, one of the other three people slowly said, “That’s right. Village Chief Wen, you’ve contributed so much to Qinghe village and now you’re finally considering marriage?”
“I have to say, Village Chief Wen is a handsome man. Your taste in women is not bad either.” After the four of them took their seats, they began to tease Wen An.
They were much older than Wen An, the young village chief. Before Wen An had taken over the position of the village chief, they had had a collaborative relationship with the villagers of Qinghe village.
“Huh? Village Chief Wen, didn’t you say that a big client is coming today? It’s already past eight o’clock. Is he still on the way?”
A short, rotund, and bald middle-aged man asked casually. At the same time, his eyes were fixed lasciviously on Chu Ning, who was sitting not far from Wen An.
Chu Ning was dressed more maturely that day. Although she was not as stunning as she was during the Dragon Boat Festival Gala, she was still mesmerizing, as though she was the only focal point there.
“You’re getting me in trouble. The only woman here today is President Chu. She’s not my girlfriend, but a business partner of Qinghe village. President Chu arrived earlier and has been waiting here for more than an hour,” Wen An said with a bitter smile.
These few distributors really had no scruples, daring to say just about anything. Fortunately, he looked at Chu Ning, who was not far away, and saw that she was calm. He was secretly relieved.
“What?” The bald middle-aged man looked at Chu Ning, stumped, after hearing Wen An’s words. He could not believe what he had just heard.
“This is President Chu? Wen An, you’re not joking with us, right?” Another person even called out Wen An’s name.
“Do I need to lie to you? It doesn’t benefit me.” Although Wen An said that, he sighed helplessly inside. If Chu Ning’s ability was really enough in the future, he didn’t want to work with these low-quality people.
“President Chu, I’ve heard some people say that you’re a man in your thirties who doesn’t like to smile. Now it seems that I’m not very up-to-date with the news. If I had known that you’re such a beauty, I would have waited here to welcome you since daytime.”
The bald middle-aged man left his seat and walked towards Chu Ning. He didn’t hide the lecherous smile on his face. He reached out his chubby hand, seemingly wanting to shake hands with Chu Ning.
The other three people were also confused. They looked at the calm Chu Ning.
“First of all, you’re not qualified to shake my hand. Secondly, people like you who don’t have a sense of time and spirit of contracts will not only not be able to do business for long, but you will also face the risk of being replaced at any time.”
Chu Ning finally opened her mouth for the first time since the distributors walked in.
Chu Ning merely glanced at the bald middle-aged man. She had no intention of shaking his hand as she thought it was dirty. Chu Ning’s words didn’t leave the distributors any dignity. She ruthlessly pointed out their flaws.
Chu Ning’s voice was not loud, but it was loud enough for everyone to hear. Wen An didn’t react. He even agreed with Chu Ning’s words in his heart. However, due to his status, he didn’t express his stand clearly to show his support for Chu Ning.
“President Chu, it’s our first time meeting. It’s not very appropriate for you to say such things, right? We are much older than you. Young lady, did you just enter society? Why are you so rude?”
A seated distributor immediately showed an unhappy expression and spoke in a lecturing tone.
