Chapter 180: Old Brother, You've Lost Your Momentum

~8 min read 1,439 words

Meng Ke glanced at him sideways, "I've come to see what kind of third-rate Live Streamers with poor business capabilities your Company has!"

Meng Zeming's heart skipped a beat.

It seemed Yu Qingyu's sales volume last night didn't meet her expectations.

"Calm down, doesn't selling things just take time? Look, you've been selling for decades; if everything sold out at once, wouldn't the Company's machines smoke from overwork?"

He led Meng Ke while walking toward the office upstairs.

He didn't know why she had suddenly run over here.

Seeing A Fu standing at the stairwell, Meng Zeming hurriedly signaled him with his eyes to hide inside and not let anyone discover him.

Speaking of selling out goods all at once, Meng Ke thought of her competitor.

Lin Sui had sold out all their goods in just one night.

When she left the Company last night, she saw the company next door still working overtime!

"How come other Live Streamers can sell out their stock, but your Company's Live Streamer can't? Is her title as the top Live Streamer too watered down?"

Meng Zeming laughed: "No, Aunt, that sounds a bit harsh. Why don't you tell me, which Live Streamer can sell out all the factory's stock?"

Meng Ke: "Lin Sui."

Meng Zeming: "..." He was actually speechless.

A Fu at the stairwell nodded.

Yes, his Live Streamer was strong in every aspect.

So why didn't she let Lin Sui help her sell?

"Fu, what are you doing here?"

Suddenly someone patted A Fu on the shoulder, instantly exposing his position.

Meng Ke, who was waiting for the elevator, noticed this side.

Meng Zeming covered his forehead.

He hoped A Fu and the others wouldn't talk nonsense; otherwise, given Meng Ke's level of hatred for Lin Sui, it would be hard not to kick them all out.

As things stood, he could only let them cooperate with him.

That person hadn't realized the severity of the situation and handed A Fu a cigarette, "Are you here to smoke too?"

A Fu raised his hand to refuse, "No."

He didn't want to end up like Shen Qing Ge, becoming a chain-smoker at a young age, to the point where even his own wife disliked him.

"Oh my, Manager Fu, why are you staying here?"

Meng Zeming went over first to invite A Fu out.

This attitude of his left A Fu somewhat bewildered.

He could vaguely sense that they were indeed family with Lin Sui; was acting something they could just turn on like that?

Don't say anything else.

Since Meng Zeming was flattering him, he would just go along with it.

After all, he had to leave a good impression on the aunt.

Which elder didn't like a young person with a successful career?

Besides, his family background wasn't bad, so it wasn't a lie.

A Fu kept cheering himself on in his heart, trying hard to take deep breaths so he wouldn't feel awkward.

Stay calm.

The guy who had just called out to A Fu had already snuck upstairs when he saw Meng Zeming.

A Fu walked out of the stairwell alone.

If he had known, he would have asked that brother for a cigarette just now; coming out empty-handed left him with nowhere to put his hands.

"I... am taking a walk."

He found an excuse that would fall apart at the slightest touch.

They were all sharp people; who couldn't tell he was lying?

Meng Zeming did know; he was likely just passing by and hid when he saw the two of them.

Meng Ke looked A Fu up and down.

She didn't sense a shred of a big shot's aura from him.

He was still wearing a Bluetooth earphone in his ear, as if listening to music; he didn't even know to take it off when meeting an elder, looking at first glance like someone who didn't do serious work.

However, he was wearing designer brands, so he looked more like a rich young master who didn't do any real work.

A Fu felt a bit shy about looking at others, but he took the initiative to greet her, "Hello, Aunt. You just mentioned Lin Sui, right? I... I am her good friend..."

Meng Zeming: "!!!"

Why did he step on a landmine right from the start!

Did this fool think Lin Sui and her mother had a deep mother-daughter bond?

Meng Zeming hurriedly nudged A Fu with his elbow, trying to get him to stop talking.

A Fu indeed stopped talking.

It was his first time meeting an elder; leaving a good impression and stating his identity was enough.

Meng Ke's gaze was still sizing A Fu up, "Are you a suitor of Lin Sui?"

A Fu was stunned for a moment, not expecting the other party to be so direct.

"No."

He had never formally pursued Lin Sui, so he wasn't.

After all, Lin Sui had no heart for romance right now; pursuing her would be useless and would easily make the relationship between the two of them very awkward.

Meng Ke sneered, "I thought she would be very attractive to rich young masters like you."

A Fu frowned, catching a hint of mockery in this sentence.

Was she mocking him or mocking Lin Sui?

Meng Zeming leaned toward Meng Ke and said, "Aunt, don't look down on others. Her Company is abroad, she came back to discuss a partnership, and if the deal goes well, she wants to develop in the country. In the future, she will be President Fu!"

Meng Ke glanced at him sideways, "What Company?"

Meng Zeming: "Anyway, it's better than your Company."

Meng Ke: "..."

"..." Meng Zeming gasped, having accidentally blurted out his inner thoughts.

He silently took out his phone, searched for the Fu family's Company abroad, and showed it to Meng Ke.

"He returned to the country, and now the Company abroad is being managed by his brother!"

"..." Meng Ke's expression looked slightly better after reading it.

She understood even less now.

Since A Fu appeared here, it meant he was on Meng Zeming's side.

"With someone helping, you still can't take down that lousy Company of Lin Sui's?"

A Fu: "?"

When did they ever want to take down Lin Sui's Company?

This aunt... was a bit different from what he had imagined.

He cast a glance at Meng Zeming.

Meng Zeming didn't look at him at all and immediately pushed Meng Ke upstairs, "It's not that the other party's asking price is too high and we can't afford it? I'm not a sucker, could they be a sucker?"

Meng Ke dodged his hand, turned to A Fu and said, "My nephew is a bit incompetent, and his Live Streaming Company isn't anything great either. I run a food Company, which is actually very suitable for a partnership; those food products could be exported abroad."

If he couldn't negotiate business, she would do it!

A Fu spat out the most impolite words he had said to date: "... Sorry, not interested."

He had been wondering why Yu Qingyu had also suddenly started promoting snacks yesterday; he thought she was learning from Lin Sui.

Now it seemed that Lin Sui's mother was learning from Lin Sui.

Yu Qingyu's sales were poor yesterday, so she came to the Company today?

Meng Ke didn't seem to expect A Fu to be so direct: "?"

"Young man, you..."

A Fu: "... Middle-aged woman, hundreds of billions a year? Is that how you talk to me?"

Meng Ke: "?"

"I am Lin Sui's mother!"

She originally didn't want to admit it, because the other party should have already guessed her identity.

But now she felt that if she didn't declare it, the other party wouldn't be too polite to her!

With this attitude of his, how could he have the nerve to be interested in her daughter?

A Fu: "I am also Lin Sui's... investor!"

【Little brother, you've lost your momentum.】

Fuxi's teasing voice came through A Fu's earpiece.

He had clearly said "sugar daddy," but A Fu probably thought it sounded bad and forcibly changed it.

If he hadn't been on a call with him the whole time, how could this scene of A Fu angrily retorting to his "mother-in-law" have happened today?

He only dared to post a Small Composition online to complain.

A Fu: "..." He wasn't Lin Sui's sugar daddy to begin with.

One look and he knew Meng Ke's disdain for the Live Streaming industry; if he had said the words "sugar daddy," what would have happened?

There's no telling what she might have thought.
