HRPM – Chapter 314 The Queen of Sophistry (3)

After hearing this, Lan Cangxuan couldn’t help but look at Jin Luoluo in a new light. This woman appeared to be unreasonable and fond of causing trouble.

But in truth, nothing she did was ever a mere whim. There was always a deeper logic hidden beneath her actions. When she explained herself, even the most absurd ideas would suddenly seem perfectly reasonable, leaving others with no grounds for rebuttal.

At this moment, she was using reverse psychology on Dongfang Hong. If he refused, he would essentially be admitting that he was an unambitious mediocrity.

She truly was a woman of both courage and intelligence—cunning enough to leave people both loving and hating her.

Jin Luoluo’s grand speech made Dongfang Hong’s eyes light up.

She understood his aspirations, and so she had used his own pride to provoke him.

“You’ve blocked off all my avenues of retreat. It seems that if I don’t agree, I’ll have no choice but to go home and grow sweet potatoes. But I don’t know how to grow sweet potatoes. I’d rather stay here and continue restoring the Yun family’s former glory.”

“Hahaha~~” Jin Luoluo burst into delighted laughter, admiration shining in her eyes. “Dongfang Hong, you’re certainly not an ordinary man. I believe you’ll definitely revive the Yun family’s business and make it flourish. But if you think you’ll surpass me, tsk tsk, that won’t be such an easy thing to do~~”

Dongfang Hong seized upon the flaw in her wording.

“It certainly won’t be easy. But as long as it isn’t impossible, isn’t that enough?”

In other words, he still believed he had a good chance of eventually defeating Jin Luoluo.

This opponent is rather full of himself, Jin Luoluo thought, shooting him a glare.

“I’ve decided I don’t like you. You should just go home and grow sweet potatoes instead.”

The banquet hall erupted into laughter.

Some people still remained unconvinced. Although they acknowledged that Jin Luoluo’s reasoning made sense, they felt that it would still be difficult for ordinary people to accept such a thing.

Others, however, were more farsighted and recognized that Jin Luoluo’s argument was correct.

If someone couldn’t even accomplish such a small task, how could they hope to navigate the fierce competition of the business world?

To achieve great things, one had to endure what ordinary people could not. Only then could one rise above average merchants and become one of the true elites of commerce.

“Young Master, don’t tell me you’re really going to dress as a woman and accompany her while inspecting the shops?” the old steward exclaimed in horror.

In his eyes, his master was a noble and almost sacred figure, someone who should never be subjected to indignity under any circumstances.

Yet now, he was being pressured by a woman into doing something so humiliating. How could the old steward possibly accept it?

Dongfang Hong smiled reassuringly at him.

“Yes, Uncle Sun. Actually, it’s not such a serious matter. I, too, would like to experience what it feels like to do something truly unconventional. When I reach the point where I no longer care about the opinions of others, perhaps I’ll act with even greater boldness and conviction.”
