Return of the Antagonistic Lady Boss

Chapter 966: Chapter 939: Could This Really Be Possible?

”Translate?” Qiuqiu’s dad’s brain had already crashed.

The academic superstar group, each with their own unique skills, showcased their talents effortlessly.

Lip-reading is not something easily encountered unless you specialize in it.

So when Yu Minglang translated the conversation between Qiuqiu and the foreigners for Qiuqiu’s dad, his worldview was turned upside down.

He found it hard to believe that Yu Minglang could really deduce what the other party was saying just by their lip movements.

But it was even harder for him to believe that Qiuqiu, ”a girl,” could so effortlessly chat with foreigners, play well, and socialize effectively.

”You... didn’t exaggerate, he really said that?” Qiuqiu’s dad’s views were overturned.

His daughter, whom he always thought was the least sensible, with a problematic personality, and suspected of having ”mental issues,” turned out to be so capable?

The whole conversation was in a foreign language!

And she explained everything so clearly!

The things he himself couldn’t do, Qiuqiu managed to accomplish.

”Lip-reading is not 100% accurate, but it can at least infer the general meaning with minimal deviation, even if I didn’t tell you, can’t you see the admiration and approval in those people’s expressions?”

Yu Minglang’s words were quite insightful, indeed, how could one not notice?

Even though Qiuqiu’s dad lacked education, as a nouveau riche, he had met plenty of people and naturally learned to read expressions, he didn’t know if Yu Minglang’s translation was accurate, but he could see the satisfied expressions of those people.

Since Qiuqiu approached, Qian willingly became a supporting role, she spoke less and only added her insight at key moments, without stealing Qiuqiu’s thunder, not doing things that overshadowed the host.

Her aim was the same as Bai Jin’s: to let Qiuqiu’s dad personally witness Qiuqiu’s capabilities.

A Qiuqiu who fought her way up from the bottom, one who was knocked down countless times by storms but still stood strong.

Qiuqiu’s dad was initially skeptical, but as time went on, his expression became more serious, his gaze towards Qiuqiu was different from usual.

”My wife isn’t here, let me say a few words on her behalf, putting aside physiological conditions, what do you think is the biggest difference between men and women?” Yu Minglang asked Qiuqiu’s dad.

”Men being physically stronger is a household...” Qiuqiu’s dad abruptly stopped; he recalled how Qiuqiu had just helped him, and her strength was no less than a man’s.

”Let me answer this for you: men and women’s intellects are similar, but differences in structure lead to expertise in different fields, the most obvious being differences in thinking.”

Yu Minglang noticed Qian walking towards him, a smile on his lips.

”Of course, my wife is an exception; she balances both male and female thinking, which relates to her profession.”

Qian took the water passed by Yu Minglang, gave him a knowing look, ”I won’t give you a point for this therapy session. Do you really think discussing brain structure with a nouveau riche will resonate with him?”

Yu Minglang made a gesture to invite Mr. Chen to perform his brainwashing act!

”Have you encountered many female entrepreneurs?” Qian asked.

Qiuqiu’s dad nodded, ”Quite a few; many couples manage businesses in our area—isn’t that couple just now the current directors of Tangcheng Industry?”

Qian didn’t answer his question but continued.

”Men excel in logic, love challenges and innovation, while women have better endurance, are more comprehensive in considering problems, both have their strengths. Simplest and most direct, don’t the female entrepreneurs you meet first vent emotionally when facing problems before solving them? However, women’s pressure resistance and toughness are stronger; there are many examples of female entrepreneurs rising again after setbacks, while male entrepreneurs react faster to problems, not hysterically like women before solving issues, but men’s resilience is slightly lesser, with more men than women resorting to suicide after failure. So, there is no high or low between men and women; they just excel in different areas.”

After saying this, Qian added the most crucial sentence.

”Do you think the way Qiuqiu handled problems just now is like a man or a woman?”

This was very crucial.

From any angle, Qiuqiu’s approach to problem-solving was predominantly rational; he indeed seemed more like a man.

Qiuqiu’s dad’s face turned ashen, unsure whether from injury or from what Qian had said.

Yu Minglang gave Qian a thumbs up; indeed, his wife was a pro at persuading people.

”Let’s go play,” Qian pulled Yu Minglang away; everything needed to be said was said, the rest depended on Qiuqiu’s dad’s own understanding.

Is Qiuqiu more like a man? Qiuqiu’s dad pondered while looking in Qiuqiu’s direction.

A game lasted nearly 4 hours, when it ended, several foreigners joyfully approached Qiuqiu’s dad, shaking hands, commending his parental guidance, and invited him over tomorrow to present his proposal.

This was definitely an opportunity!

Qiuqiu’s dad, only after those foreigners left, finally believed Qiuqiu was indeed so capable!

”Old timer, did you see that? Don’t mess with me anymore, we’re even now.” Qiuqiu came to collect his gear, confidently flipping his hair at his dad.

It felt particularly satisfying, years of frustration finally turned into proof in front of the old man.

”Qiuqiu... Dad has figured it out, it was Dad’s fault in the past.”

”Huh?” Qiuqiu paused, puzzled at his dad, had the old man had an epiphany?

His gaze met Bai Jin’s, did their relationship have potential?

Yu Minglang looked at his wife, Qian’s first reaction was to check with Fugui, Fugui shook his head, Qian nodded.

The two experts held a silent consultation.

Fugui’s idea was that a person’s ingrained beliefs shouldn’t change so easily, it’s unlikely that playing a game and proving oneself could just change Qiuqiu’s dad’s perception.

Qian’s nod indicated she agreed; what she just told Qiuqiu’s dad was merely the first step, achieving the final goal still needed time.

Xiaoqiang nodded along too; although he wasn’t a psychiatric authority, nor a psychological expert, he vaguely remembered an old saying that perfectly applied here.

A leopard never changes its spots.

Only Qiuqiu remained immersed in the joy of proving himself, holding onto a sliver of unrealistic hope about his dad.

”Dad, do you agree with me—”

”Dad sees that your skills are wasted only as a shareholder; I’ll find you a compliant man to cooperate with your work, just like him.”

Qiuqiu’s dad pointed to Dadao standing by Water Fairy, Dadao looked innocent, what did this have to do with him?

Was this a random accusation?

When Xiaoqiang and Qian worked together to deal with the foreigners, Dadao feared Water Fairy would catch the heat staying outside too long, leading her inside to relax in the air-conditioned room; only emerging once everything was settled to join the group, with such a strong combination, the task was accomplished easily.

Yet upon emerging, he was inexplicably caught in the crossfire.

These two families weren’t that far apart, the Teng Family was influential, while Water Fairy and her husband didn’t know Qiuqiu’s dad, Qiuqiu’s dad definitely knew who they were.

”Uncle, could you clarify what you mean by ’like me’?” Dadao felt this needed clarification.

”Didn’t you enter the Teng Family? You cooperate well with Mr. Teng; I’ll find a similar man for Qiuqiu in the future.”

Dadao’s forehead darkened, when did he ever enter the Teng Family?
