Chapter 2315 - 2135: Good Wine Needs No Bush (Part 3)
Chapter 2315: Chapter 2135: Good Wine Needs No Bush (Part 3)
"Really? That’s just great! Here, I toast Manager Zhou!" Miss Kong poured a full glass of wine, holding it with both hands in front of Zhou Changsheng, her whole body almost pressing against him, her chest brushing against Manager Zhou’s arms.
"Alright, alright, alright!" Manager Zhou also raised a glass of wine, deliberately brushing his arm against Miss Kong’s chest, and clinked glasses with her.
"Miss Lu, Manager Zhou invited both of us to dinner, you should be more enthusiastic. Let me teach you, sit on Manager Zhou’s other side and pour a glass of wine to toast him." Miss Kong obviously knew Manager Zhou’s plan, so she also urged Lu Yaobing to drink with Manager Zhou.
"Sister Kong, I really can’t drink."
"If you can’t, then you have to learn, you can’t do without it. We in sales, our most important job is to please men. You have to learn to drink with them, learn to speak, and more importantly, learn to let go of your status. I see you’re still young and your understanding of society is too shallow. Some things seem important, but they’re not, like a woman’s body. When we’re young, we treat ourselves like treasures, letting men pamper us. But what’s the use? Women age. When we’re young, we either anchor a rich man or, like me, figure out how to monetize our looks." Kong Miaoyu began imparting life experiences to Lu Yaobing.
"I think you’re quite pretty too, starting work so young, especially in sales. Maybe your family background isn’t that great, so I advise you not to take yourself too seriously. Women should know how to lower their status, try hard to learn how to please men, otherwise your tasks won’t get done." Kong Miaoyu said to Lu Yaobing.
"Sister Kong, I think what you’re saying makes a lot of sense, but I believe that regardless of when, women should treat themselves like treasures. Because if a woman doesn’t value herself, men will only look down on her more. Lowering oneself to learn how to please a man reduces a woman to an accessory. Even if you make money, you can’t earn a man’s respect." Lu Yaobing replied to Kong Miaoyu.
Chapter 2137: Wise Beyond Years
Kong Miaoyu merely wanted to educate Lu Yaobing, but didn’t expect the seemingly quiet girl to debate so extensively. Initially, Kong found her nice, but Lu Yaobing’s words hit a sore spot, making her somewhat angry, feeling the same dissatisfaction that Zhou Changsheng felt towards Lu Yaobing.
Then, Kong Miaoyu said to Lu Yaobing, "Little sister, I think you’re still too young. I guess you haven’t graduated college yet, still spending your parents’ money. As the saying goes, you don’t know the price of firewood, rice, oil, and salt if you’re not in charge. You haven’t entered society yet, so you naturally think respect and dignity are important. But when you face the harsh job market, you will realize that money is more important than anything else. Without money, you won’t get respect or have dignity."
Lu Yaobing countered, "If someone thinks respect and dignity are important before stepping into society but changes their principles afterward, it shows they lack strong principles and don’t truly value respect or dignity. That’s only being situationally adaptable, but I’m not that kind. I believe respect and dignity are most important now, and I will still think so after entering society."
"Miss Lu, your Sister Kong criticizes you with good intentions, seeing you’re young, she tells you worldly truths for your own good. Why don’t you listen? What she said comes from her real-life experiences and you should humbly learn from it!" Zhou Changsheng said to Lu Yaobing, somewhat angrily.
"Right, in school without experiencing society, you don’t know how tough life is. When you graduate and struggle in the workplace, you’ll know whether what I said makes sense." Kong Miaoyu shook her head, speaking to Lu Yaobing.
What Kong Miaoyu said makes sense; for someone like her with an average family background and education, but attractive, her path is indeed the easiest and fastest way to succeed and stand out in the tough social competition.
But the problem is, Lu Yaobing is Song Xiaodong’s apprentice, set to take over from Song Xiaodong in the future. Lu Yaobing’s starting point in life is higher than Kong Miaoyu’s peak.
So, Kong Miaoyu will never have the chance to see Lu Yaobing being tormented by reality.
Nor will she see Lu Yaobing compromise with life due to its unbearable hardships.
"Sister Kong, I’m a medical student, I’m going to be a physician after graduation. For me, I need to consider not how to handle fierce office politics, but how to improve my medical skill. I may never face the harsh realities Sister Kong described. I just need to treat patients, not please them, nor flaunt my looks." Lu Yaobing retorted, neither haughty nor humble.
