Chapter 157 - The Mafia King Who Was Scolded By His Wife
Lihua didn\'t know if she should feel happy or sad about his decision. Jiang Fai coughed. "Cousin seems hardly bothered..."
She couldn\'t even retort and helplessly sighed.
One of the senior members raised his concern. "Jiang Wei. Are you seriously considering her proposal?"
Wei gave a sideways glance. "What my wife says goes."
"..."
The others were stunned to hear this explosive news that he suddenly bombed upon him.
Wife!? When did this happen? Isn\'t Shi Ruomei his fiance?
They were itching to ask, but they didn\'t want to offend Wei either.
Ruomei felt the gazes upon her. She felt as if she was being pitied. Not only that, Wei\'s statement just lit her heart in fury.
The members glanced between the two women and somehow finally sensed what was going on. They couldn\'t believe that he was blatantly siding with his wife.
Fu Renshu sobbed.
Ahhh, the doting husband is here. Boss, you should be impartial.
"Jiang Wei, this is a big proposal. We cannot..."
He narrowed his eyes. "You cannot what?"
They immediately gulped down their words. They grew dissatisfied more and more and couldn\'t help but blame Lihua.
Ruomei felt the discomfort in the air and the glares that they shot towards Lihua. At first, she was infuriated.
This is nice, she sneered. Even if Wei chooses this bitch now, he will be bound to change it once this resistance grows. Lixue\'s reputation will take a hit for using Wei\'s position to her advantage. Hah!
Ruomei awkwardly smiled and she lowered her gaze to show a defeated expression. "It\'s okay. If Wei has decided something, it will be the best for the company. It is not wrong to support your wife..."
She indirectly implied Wei\'s bias on Lihua and how she was even shamelessly using it.
This made the members feel pitiful for her and favor her even more.
"You cannot be partial!"
The words in their mind were right out in the open and from somebody unexpected. They rang in the air until they realized that the words came out from Lihua\'s lips. They were taken aback.
Wei was clearly in her favor and yet she opposed this?
Ruomei narrowed her eyes.
Wei blinked his eyes and stared at her. "Lixue."
Lihua put her hands on her waist and gave a pointed stare at him. "I am disappointed in you, Wei."
Jiang Weiyuan and his son, Jiang Li, slightly widened their eyes in surprise and raised their brow.
To say that she is disappointed in Wei...
Wei froze. His expression turned ashen and extremely aggrieved as he anxiously looked at her. "Why?"
"You are the CEO of the company, and it\'s your job to be fair and impartial towards everybody. You cannot favor me just because I am your wife. I want everyone to accept my proposal fair and square, not anybody thinking that I got it because of you."
Wei pursed his lips and lowered his head.
"I just want to support my wife..." He sadly mumbled.
The others almost puked blood seeing this side of Wei. He was totally acting like a pitiful dog with his ears down.
Lihua nodded. "That is fine and I appreciate it, but you cannot mix it with business. I already had a fair idea that most of the people here won\'t be so easily convinced. Until now, the methods were too rigid and fixed. Doing something out-of-the-box and new requires courage and it\'s not easy. It\'s understandable."
Everybody looked at her stupefied and in a new light.
Ruomei grew impatient.
This bitch! She is doing this on purpose!
"That\'s why I already thought of a solution to this too!"
Wei tilted his head. "What?"
"Few people like you and father-in-law are with me while the majority is with Shi Ruomei. But, both of us should get equal chance to prove ourselves. That chance our customers will give us. So how about this? Shi Ruomei and I will work on our proposal as planned and whoever gets the most support and votes from the public wins!"
Everybody was in deep thought.
"This will be like a trial. We will get to see which method the public leans towards more. Do they like Shi Ruomei\'s method of advertising or do they like Fai Fai\'s comic? We can take a sample size of a population to determine this. Jiang Industries will choose the proposal that gets the most votes," her eyes sparkled in excitement.
After a long time, Jiang Weiyuan raised his hand and quietly said, "I agree with this."
Ruomei widened her eyes.
What?
More and more members gave their agreement too.
"This seems to be fair."
"Yes. Although I do think that Miss Shi will easily win, this will simply prove it."
"This method is not bad."
Fu Renshu sighed in relief.
Phew!
He looked at Lihua and was impressed by her for the first time.
This woman actually can say some intelligent stuff.
One of them asked, "How long will we hold this competition?"
Lihua touched her chin. "I think a month will be fine."
They glanced at each other and nodded. "A month seems fair enough."
Lihua eagerly awaited Wei\'s decision.
He sighed and nodded. "I agree with this."
Lihua smiled and then looked at Ruomei. "Well, let\'s have a healthy competition and may the best one win."
It took all her strength not to let her hatred show on her face. Ruomei smiled. "Same here, Lixue. I hope you won\'t be too disappointed after the result."
"I won\'t!" She proudly said. "I have full confidence in my cute Fai Fai!"
Jiang Fai\'s face flushed red and he wished to disappear.
Cute? And me? So humiliating! As if calling me Fai Fai isn\'t embarrassing enough!
After the meeting, Lihua jumped into Wei\'s hug and grinned. "Thank you, Wei!"
He sadly asked, "Are you still mad at me?"
She blinked her eyes.
Aiyaa! He looks so adorable when he is sulking!
"Oh! Of course not! I just wanted to let you know that it\'s bad to be biased. I am happy that you understood it," she pinched his cheeks.
He beamed and smiled, feeling relieved. He cupped her face and dove into a passionate kiss as his lips hungrily captured hers.
Lihua softly moaned and kissed him back, giving him access to her mouth. Their tongues slurped and wet sounds echoed in his office.
Suddenly, the door opened and Jiang Fai stepped in. "Sister-in-law-"
He froze upon seeing the R-18 kiss scene. His ears turned bright red and he quickly said, "S-sorry for disturbing!"
