Chapter 534 Straight Man_1
Because everyone was sitting in their seats and no one spoke, silence fell upon us, and as we all had other things on our minds, there was no exchange with one another. Shen Dong sat there; he was actually quite bored, simply sitting there foolishly. He still hadn’t had a proper conversation with Kang Yue about what had just happened.
That’s just how this little guy is; every time something comes up, he starts acting, seemingly suspicious and sometimes even unwilling to deal with people. Could it be because he had just shown a bias towards that woman? So, he could only start by saying a few nice words to Kang Yue, hoping she wouldn’t take it to heart; otherwise, he didn’t know how long he’d have to soothe her.
Therefore, he feigned interest in the topic and said, "What do you think about those women just now? Weren’t they pretty good? With their looks and figures, nothing to complain about, right? If you were a guy, wouldn’t you be tempted too? I mean, my subordinates can still appreciate a few beauties. Not bad, not bad. When we get back, I’ll definitely give them a reward."
When he said this with a smile, he thought he had set a fine pretext for any dissatisfaction to be aired. But after he finished speaking, the silence that ensued was so deep, nobody seemed willing to engage with him.
Shen Dong suddenly felt puzzled. Hadn’t he just thrown out a topic for discussion? Why was no one willing to engage with him? So he continued, "What’s the matter with you guys? What are you all thinking about? Not a single one of you is talking to me. Do you want me to die of boredom here?
Driving in this car is already so dull. Someone talk to me, for crying out loud. Even random chatter would be good. Don’t just sit there in silence, making the atmosphere in the car dead. If you have any complaints, speak up. Why are you all pulling long faces? If something’s bothering you, let me hear it."
After saying a few words to the left and right, Shen Dong realized that everyone truly did not intend to engage with him, all steeped in silence. Tang Yuchan simply couldn’t bear to watch anymore, and said, "Alright, alright, let’s just drive. Seriously, I’m already feeling dizzy. Stop the noise and just focus on driving. We can talk about anything else when we get back. I could tell at a glance that the new woman is not one to behave herself.
"You might be busy in the future. Even if this place is really legitimate, handling matters will probably be troublesome, and there will be times when you get a headache. I suggest you assign someone specifically to manage over there, just like the foreman at the dance hall. Having a manager there would make things a tad easier; you wouldn’t have to go and deal with everything in person. As is, when you show up, they’ll swoop in on you like hungry wolves spotting food. I can already foresee the trouble you’ll have. I’ve given you my advice; what you make of it is up to you. I can’t interfere with your thoughts."
