After the divorce, I became a mountain god

After hearing what Xu Bo'an said, Zhu Jiewen couldn't help but want to laugh.

The man in front of me just said that his business was just in its infancy. In today's economic situation, he actually said that a newly started company is now in a stable stage? How is this possible?

Zhu Jiewen didn't believe a single word Xu Boan said. He just thought that Xu Boan was just saying it to save face in front of the beautiful Su Jie.

A person like this wants to compete with me for the sense of presence in front of Su Jie?

It’s simply overestimating one’s capabilities!

He finally met the goddess of his dreams, and the two of them could chat here together, but the guy in front of him not only didn't know how to leave, but got closer to them, which made his conversation with Su Jie a lot more inconvenient. This made Zhu Jiewen somewhat unhappy with Xu Boan.

Since you don't know what's good for you, don't blame me for not giving you face?

Thinking of this, Zhu Jiewen said directly to Xu Boan: "This... Oh, Mr. Xu, don't you think that what you said just now is a bit contradictory?"

Xu Boan didn't take Zhu Jiewen's words seriously at all. He smiled and said, "Oh? What's the contradiction? I really don't feel it!"

Seeing Xu Boan's confused look, Zhu Jiewen thought that Xu Boan was just playing dumb, so he didn't hesitate to point out the contradiction between Xu Boan's words and said, "Just now you clearly said that your company is just starting out, but then you said that your company is already very mature. Putting the two words "just starting out" and "mature" together, don't you think there is some contradiction between what you said before and after?"

Generally speaking, when people are talking, unless they particularly dislike the other person, they will not point it out immediately even if what the other person said before and after is contradictory. This is what people often say, leave a way out for each other so that you can meet again in the future.

Zhu Wenjie now felt that Xu Boan standing there was a bit annoying, so he pointed out what he thought were the contradictions in Xu Boan's words without mercy.

Zhu Jiewen did this to embarrass Xu Boan while elevating himself, so that Xu Boan would feel ashamed in front of Su Jie and himself, and embarrassed to stay here, and would leave in disgrace!

When Xu Boan heard Zhu Wenjie's words, how could he not know the intention of Zhu Wenjie?

It would be fine if Zhu Wenjie didn't say that. The more he wanted to make Xu Bo'an lose face, the less likely Xu Bo'an would give him this chance. If you don't take revenge, you are not a gentleman! Xu Bo'an is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.

Thinking of this, Xu Bo'an looked at Zhu Jiewen with a wicked smile on his face, and said, "I didn't expect that Mr. Zhu, you are really a cultured person. I really didn't notice the grammatical errors in my previous and subsequent words, but you found them out right away. You are worthy of being a classmate of Dr. Su Jie! Your Chinese language skills must be very strong, otherwise how could you be so sensitive to such detailed and nitpicking things?"

Zhu Jiewen chuckled and said to Xu Bo'an without hiding his advantage: "You really guessed it right. I was always among the best in Chinese when I was in school. I was the top scorer in liberal arts in our county during the college entrance examination!"

Xu Boan looked at Zhu Wenjie's condescending look when facing him and wanted to laugh from the bottom of his heart. In Xu Boan's heart, Zhu Wenjie was just an insignificant little punk. Xu Boan didn't take him seriously at all. So when facing Zhu Wenjie's provocation, Xu Boan was not angry, but just thought he was very funny.

Such subtle and real qualities are often hidden deep in human nature. When a person is not strong enough or is very weak, his inner sensitivity is extremely strong. Facing any ridicule from others, even an inadvertent contemptuous look or a few sarcastic words, it will be like a sharp stone, hitting his heart hard, stirring up ripples of anger and annoyance. At that time, we will be full of resentment because of these ridicules, and will repeatedly chew on those hurtful words in our hearts, and it will be difficult to let go for a long time.

Because when a person is not strong enough, his self-confidence is like a building without a solid foundation. The slightest disturbance from the outside world will instantly destroy the self-confidence that he has built with great difficulty, and make him fall into the abyss of self-doubt and pain. Therefore, he will be extremely resentful when facing the ridicule of others.

However, when a person continues to struggle in society and becomes strong enough, his mood will be completely different when he looks back at the ridicule that once made him furious.

When I faced these things at that time, it was like standing on the top of a towering mountain, overlooking the tiny disturbances at the foot of the mountain. The ridicule that once weighed on my heart like a huge rock was now nothing but a passing cloud, unable to stir up the slightest ripple in my heart.

At this time, even if we meet someone who speaks ill of us, we can remain calm.

Now Xu Bo'an not only possesses great material wealth, but also has strong interpersonal relationships. Not to mention anything else, in Jiangcheng City, not only do he have Qu Feifan, Xu Ming and other rich second-generation kids who curry favor with him, but even the richest family in Jiangcheng, the Zhong family, has to give him some face. Xu Bo'an really doesn't even take a small and unknown person like Zhu Wenjie seriously.

Based on Xu Boan's current ability, if he wants to make Zhu Jiewen unable to survive in Jiangcheng, Zhu Jiewen will definitely have no room for maneuver. For such an ant, Xu Boan is already giving him face by standing with him. However, he still wants to surpass himself. It's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot. He is overestimating his own abilities!

Su Jie, who was standing aside, of course also heard the contempt for Xu Bo'an in the words of her old classmate Zhu Jiewen.

Zhu Jiewen was Su Jie's class monitor in college, but they didn't have much interaction during their school years. Xu Boan was a friend of her best friend Lin Miaomiao, but they also didn't have much contact.

In Su Jie's opinion, Zhu Jiewen and Xu Bo'an are actually not that far or close to her, so regarding the verbal conflict between the two, Su Jie would not take sides from the bottom of her heart. However, regarding Zhu Jiewen's attitude, Su Jie still had some prejudice against him from the bottom of her heart, but she could not say anything, and just stood quietly aside.

After hearing what Zhu Jiewen said, Xu Bo'an also chuckled and looked at Zhu Jiewen, saying without disguising, "As expected of a top student, your learning ability is extraordinary. The reason why my words are contradictory is that I acquired a relatively mature company in all aspects. So although my business is in its infancy, it is already a very mature enterprise. Is there anything wrong with my explanation like this?"

Zhu Jiewen didn't believe Xu Bo'an's words at all. How could a country bumpkin who worked in civil engineering say that he had acquired a very mature company? This statement could only fool children, but he dared to say it shamelessly. This bragging was simply exaggerating.

Moreover, mature companies that are doing well these days are definitely the roosters that lay eggs. Who would transfer them? This is complete nonsense!

Zhu Jiewen asked in a thorough manner: "Since you said that you acquired a very mature company in Dongjiang, then may I ask which company you acquired? I also have some friends in Dongjiang, and they are doing very well in Dongjiang. If you need help, I can ask them to help you find out. Don't let anyone cheat you?" Zhu Jiewen's purpose in asking Xu Boan this was certainly not to really help Xu Boan. His purpose was still to embarrass Xu Boan, because he didn't believe that Xu Boan would acquire any good company at all. He estimated that nine out of ten times he was just trying to show off. As long as he got to the bottom of it, he would have the opportunity to make fun of him.

Su Jie, who was standing by, believed what Xu Bo'an said. Although she was busy looking for a job recently and had not contacted Lin Miaomiao, and Lin Miaomiao had not told her about Xu Bo'an's acquisition of the company, she had heard from Lin Miaomiao about Xu Bo'an's greatness before. She could also hear from Lin Miaomiao that she admired Xu Bo'an very much. As a rich second generation, Lin Miaomiao was born with a silver spoon in her mouth and admired Xu Bo'an very much, which was enough to show that Xu Bo'an definitely had his strengths.

Moreover, she had come into contact with Xu Boan several times. The last time she met his half-sister, Xu Boan showed his extraordinary strength. Coupled with Lin Miaomiao's miraculous description of Xu Boan, Su Jie at that time felt that Xu Boan was indeed not an ordinary person.

Before Xu Boan could reply to Zhu Jiewen, Su Jie, who was standing beside him, said to Xu Boan, "Mr. Xu, I also want to know which company you acquired?"

Su Jie asked this question purely out of curiosity, unlike Zhu Jiewen, who was thinking of stepping on Xu Bo'an.

As soon as Su Jie finished saying this, she felt that her question seemed a bit presumptuous. What if the other person had something awkward to say? Then it would seem a bit impolite of her to do so.

Thinking of this, Su Jie continued, "I'm sorry, Mr. Xu, my question just now was a bit presumptuous. I have been in Dongjiang for many years, and I just asked that out of curiosity. If it is inconvenient for Mr. Xu to answer, can you completely ignore my question?"

When Zhu Jiewen heard this, he looked at Su Jie, then looked at Xu Bo'an and quickly added: "Su Jie, you are too polite. There is nothing wrong with asking for such a good thing as starting a company. What do you think, Mr. Xu?"

Xu Boan chuckled and said, "You are right. There is really nothing to hide. The company I just acquired is..."

When Su Jie and Zhu Jiewen heard Xu Bo'an speak, they both looked at him. Just as Xu Bo'an was about to speak, a voice suddenly rang out: "Old Xu!"

Xu Bo'an felt the voice was very familiar. Before he finished speaking, he looked towards the direction where the voice came from. He saw that the person walking towards him from a distance was Tong Xiaojian.

Su Jie and Zhu Jiewen also looked over at the same time. When Zhu Jiewen saw Tong Xiaojian, he was delighted. Wasn't the person walking towards him the person from the agency he had just made an appointment with?
Zhu Jiewen earned some money in the past few years after graduating from university. He wanted to buy a new house for his parents, so he made an appointment with Tong Xiaojian to look at houses.

The person from the real estate agency came at the perfect time. Being able to buy a house through his own efforts at such a young age was already considered quite successful. He could also use this opportunity to ridicule Xu Boan and leave a better impression in front of Su Jie.

At this time, Tong Xiaojian had already walked up to Xu Bo'an and the others. Xu Bo'an asked, "Are you done?"

Tong Xiaojian said to Xu Bo'an happily: "Yes! These two are..."

When Zhu Jiewen saw how warm Xu Bo'an was to a guy who ran a small real estate agency, he became even more certain that Xu Bo'an was a low-end person.

Xu Boan was just thinking about briefly introducing Su Jie to Tong Xiaojian when he heard Tong Xiaojian take the initiative to say to Zhu Jiewen: "Are you Mr. Zhu? I just made an appointment with you to see the house. I noticed that you look very similar to the profile picture on WeChat. What a coincidence."

Seeing that someone Xu Bo'an knew actually knew him, Zhu Jiewen was slightly startled, and subconsciously frowned with a hint of hostility and asked: "Who are you?"

Tong Xiaojian thought Zhu Jiewen was also Xu Bo'an's friend, so he quickly took out one of his business cards and said enthusiastically, "I'm Tong Xiaojian from Jixiang Real Estate. This is my business card. You must be the client who just asked me to view the house. I think you look a lot like the profile picture on WeChat."

Hearing that Tong Xiaojian was just a real estate agent, Zhu Jiewen suddenly felt that Xu Boan was even more insignificant.

After all, Tong Xiaojian just called Xu Boan "Old Xu", which shows that the two have a close relationship. In this case, it is very likely that they are from the same class.

Zhu Jiewen couldn't help but look down on Xu Bo'an even more.

However, he was not in a hurry to continue stepping on Xu Boan here, but was thinking about taking advantage of this opportunity to show off in front of Su Jie.

Zhu Jiewen immediately said proudly: "Yes! I want to see the 200-square-meter large flat in Yiyun Huafu. Is it convenient to see it now?"

Tong Xiaojian was stumped by this question. What? He had just told him that he was looking at a second-hand ordinary house of 100 square meters? Why did he change to a large flat of more than 200 square meters? Wasn't this a bit too big of a jump?

Moreover, this Yiyun Huafu is a newly built building and is almost ready for moving in. Although it is not as high-end as a villa in Jiangcheng, it can be regarded as a wealthy area among ordinary residential areas.

Tong Xiaojian was very puzzled. He had just discussed with the landlord to bring clients to see the house, and the landlord was waiting at home. Zhu Jiewen actually changed his mind at the last minute. This change of mind was a bit too sudden. Tong Xiaojian was a bit overwhelmed for a moment. He had never seen such a situation before!
Tong Xiaojian's company is an agency that mainly specializes in second-hand housing business. Although there are occasionally new properties that need to be sold on behalf of an agency, the partners are all large-scale chain agency companies.

The company he works for, Jixiang Real Estate, is just a newly developed local company and does not have such great capabilities and scale, so people who want to buy a new house generally don't come to him.

It's a bit strange that this person wants to buy a new house through me. (End of this chapter)
