Chapter 48 How about… You Go
Ye Fei and Ma Qingyun fell into an in-depth discussion on the issues and debates regarding the world of live broadcasting. To the point that the other 3 could only watch them in a daze. Suddenly, Ma Qingyun suddenly remembered the purpose of this gathering and did not know whether to laugh or cry.
Ma Qingyun thought: Didn’t I come here to persuade my daughter to befriend He Peng, ah? Just how did I suddenly get into a deep talk with this fellow? Then again, this young man is really interesting. With just a few lines, he managed to drag this well-travelled old man into his rhythm, ah. No, I should be calmer than this, ah.
Still, he was very pleased with Ye Fei who was still spitting stars into the sky and expressing his opinion all over the place. When Ye Fei was done speaking, he smiled and said, “Young man, you are certainly a person with your own views and opinions. What about coming to work for me? What do you think?”
Everyone, “… …”
F*ck me, just what is going on? Have you already developed real intimacies from that little debate? To actually invite Ye Fei to work for your company?
The 3 people turned to look at Ma Qingyun in disbelief before swinging their gaze toward Ye Fei.
Zhou Lizhi thought: This young man certainly is not bad. However, his background does not match their daughter’s. Aiya, if only this Ye Fei fellow has a slightly better background, then, I shall have nothing against them dating.
Ma Cuihua also has her own thoughts: This brat is unexpectedly knowledgeable about the broadcasting business, ah. Regardless of whether the opinions are his own or not, he had at least shocked my old man. Little brat, just where did you learn all of this, ah?
He Peng was the most broken up by this development. Even in his dreams, he never thought that such a thing would happen right off the bat. According to the normal process of things, he should have met up with Ma Qingyun and Zhao Lizhi over lunch to properly meet with Ma Cuihua with the intention of marriage. If all goes well, Ma Qingyun would work together with DD Technology and, with the cooperation of Ma Qingyun, DD Live Broadcast could move to an even higher level.
However, just where did this common dirt sprout from ah? Why do you have so many thoughts? I never ask for your opinion but why do you have so many of them? You have even swayed Ma Qingyun to the point of beaming. This is definitely not good ah.
He thought: To have a mud turtle suddenly popping out to grab the limelight, I must take control of the conversation now or my boat would be the one that capsizes today, ah.
Everyone has their own thoughts. Naturally, Ye Fei has his thoughts too.
When Ma Qingyun invited him to work at his company, he had felt a little odd. After hearing Zhao Lizhi’s introduction, he understood that Ma Qingyun was in the same industry as him but he had no idea at what capacity or from which platform. However, regardless of which it was, there was no way he was going to join them. That’s because he has his own goals and missions. The System wanted him to become a Divine Culinary Broadcaster, the best in the entire universe.
In other words, his ultimate goal lay in the stars and across the seas. Moreover, to achieve this goal, he must bravely overcome all obstacles and tread on this road as a Culinary Broadcaster, not as an honest office worker in a company.
Therefore, Ye Fei shook his head with a smile, and said, “Uncle, when we have time again, we should definitely exchange thoughts about the live broadcast industry in the future. As for working at uncle’s company, I think I’m good.”
Gah…
When Ye Fei was done speaking, Zhao Lizhi and the others were even more shocked.
Just who was Ma Qingyun? He was Yinzhou City’s most well-known entrepreneur. Do you have any idea just how many people would envy your opportunity to work with him, ah? Anyone else would have said yes immediately, but you actually refused this offer?!
Aiya, my God in heaven, ah. Just what in the world is happening, ah? To think the youths in this world would dare to outright refuse such a great proposal, ah.
Seeing Ye Fei’s swift rejection. He Peng was secretly delighted. He knew his opportunity had arrived and said in a grave tone, “Ye Fei, it is rare for Uncle Ma to personally invite someone to work with him. For a person with no background like you, catching Uncle Ma’s eye means that he appreciates you a lot. Therefore, you should not miss out on this opportunity, ah.”
Ye Fei knew that He Peng did not like him. He also felt a bit awkward interacting with this guy. Seeing how this fellow was speaking so euphemistically to him, he decided to go on the attack.
“Then… why don’t you go?”
He Peng, “… …”
Why don’t I go? Why would I go, ah? Daddy is DD Technology’s heir, ah. DD Technology’s CEO, you know? Why would I abandon my job as the CEO of DD Technology to work for someone else? Do you think my brain is broken?
Seeing how He Peng had been shocked to silence by his attack, Ye Fei did not recall his troops but pressed his advantage, “First, I’d like to correct something you say about me. I, Ye Fei, am not someone without a place in society. I am a Fine Food Broadcaster. Please understand this much. As for something like background, for you to let the word background slip through your lips so easily disappoint me a lot. In my eyes, your position as the CEO of DD Technology is more special. It shows that you have vision. However, I have not expected this vision to be as limited as other people’s.
After all, what is background? Isn’t it just a collection of family history, the so-called behind-the-scenes advantage? If you keep depending on this, isn’t your vision too narrow? Nearly everyone could trace their families up to three generations, but not everyone comes from a good background. The reason why some people could shine brighter now was due to their ancestors’ hard work. Wealth and good name accumulated through ingenuity and decades, maybe even hundreds of years of hard work just so that the younger generation could shine.
In fact, the only reason you feel that you’re better than me is that your father and grandfather have worked hard and constructed a beautiful world for you. What does it have to do with your own hard work and ingenuity? All you have to do is sit back and enjoy this beautiful life. Therefore, Mister He, can you truly say to me that you have contributed anything to your background and pedigree?”
He Peng, “… …”
This fellow pissed him off so much that he nearly spat up blood. F*ck you, this bastard… just what’s with this long speech, ah? I have merely made a single comment but you have to retaliate with a whole speech?
What’s even more depressing is that this guy had made it so that my background and pedigree are things that had nothing to do with me. How could it have nothing to do with me, ah? By having a powerful background, my food, clothing, housing and transportation are a cut above others. With such a powerful background, few dare to bully me and I could stand head and shoulders above the riffraff. So, how could my background have nothing to do with me, ah?
However, these were words he could never utter in front of Ma Qingyuan and his wife. The moment it was out of his mouth, he would be seen as a useless leech.
On the other hand, he cannot ignore the elephant in the room, ah. What nonsense, this Ye Fei made it look like he was the inferior one. This fellow actually split his background away from him, what a despicable bastard.
“Hehe, Mister Ye, I do believe you’ve misunderstood my words just now. What I wish to say is this, you are alone in the world. People who wish to stand out should have trees behind them to provide a good shade. Now that Uncle Ma has made an offer for you, well, if it were me, I’d go for it.”
Ye Fei stared at He Peng for a while. Then, he lightly spat out four words, “How about, you go?”
He Peng immediately collapsed. Your sis, ah. Aren’t these the very same words you have already spat out just now? Can’t you say something else? Me? Go work for him? My family owns a large business, even if I wanted to, my family won’t let me, ah.
“Ahem, ahem, in fact, I do wish to, very much. However, my family would not agree,” He Peng finally ventured to say.
Ye Fei said, “You haven’t even asked them, so how would you know? Oh, that’s right, you’re a person with a background. Sorry, sorry, I forgot.”
