Chapter 52 Unconventional Approach
chapter 52
Meng Youcheng was stunned and stood there dumbfounded. After hesitating for a moment, he walked over and stood beside him, keeping a little distance.
The man sighed and remained silent.
He knew things wouldn't be that simple; the beginning would definitely be agonizing for him...
Jiang Yuming continued, "Look at him, he doesn't look like a proper agent at all."
"I'm like a chef who can cook, like a father of three, but not like a proper agent. I'm here hoping to broaden my 'career,' so of course I need to find a suitable agent..."
"I need a shrewd person, someone who can be my right-hand man, someone who can help me, not a husband who cooks for me all day and is completely useless!"
It's not you, brother...
Do you speak without thinking?
I'm still here, and you're talking badly about me to my face. Aren't you afraid of offending people?
You're awesome, you little rascal...
And... why is it a married man again?!
Meng Youcheng immediately discovered a common problem...
They all like to judge people by their appearance...
He could tell at a glance that this guy was no pushover, and this guy could tell at a glance that he wasn't familiar with this kind of knowledge.
They have a pretty good eye.
The man remained silent, choosing to observe the situation.
The old man in the distance spoke up, "Jiang Yuming, these are company rules that I cannot change. As you just saw, out of the ten agents here, the other nine are unwilling to choose you. You should look for the reasons within yourself."
"Oh……"
The boy sneered, "They don't want to choose me because they don't know who I am?!"
what? !
Meng Youcheng's heart tightened instantly...?!
Surely he wouldn't reveal his identity?
The system said that this was a hidden matter, known only to Meng Youcheng, so it shouldn't be that serious.
"I am... Jiang Yuming, heir to the Jiang Group!"
Awesome!
Is 001's mom playing me?
Didn't they say that only Meng Youcheng knew about this?
The male protagonist immediately said, "How can this be considered that only he knows?"
Meng Youcheng scratched his head, feeling somewhat irritated.
If this guy reveals his identity, the other agents will naturally be eager to see him, since they need resources, and this young man in front of them comes with his own resources, making him the best candidate.
One of the agents spoke up, "Are you really the heir to the Jiang Group?"
Meng Youcheng breathed a sigh of relief...
This is a fictional world. According to the usual novel tropes, none of the agents would believe him and would ridicule him mercilessly. Then the male protagonist would say, "Don't look down on people like that..."
Then, it was a series of swift and decisive slaps in the face.
Upon seeing this, Jiang Yuming immediately smiled, "Absolutely genuine."
Another agent then asked, "How can you prove it?"
"You can search online to see if the youngest son of the Jiang Group is named Jiang Yuming. I've never shown my face, and there are no photos of me online, but the name is exactly the same!"
The agents started taking out their phones and checking...
Meng Youcheng stood still, not moving...
They certainly wouldn't believe him based on just a name, and besides, this is a novel; no matter what happens, they won't believe him, especially since this is only the early part of the story.
"Holy crap, it really is Jiang Yuming..."
One of the agents suddenly spoke up, "Could it be that you really are?"
"I already told you I really mean it..."
The boy confidently pulled out his ID card. "Look at my address, isn't it the headquarters of the Jiang Group?"
Agent A: "Really?! You really are?!"
Meng Youcheng panicked immediately...
Brother, you actually believed that...?!
This doesn't make sense. Haven't they watched any short dramas? Why aren't they following the script?
Do they watch too many short dramas and are afraid of encountering real people?!
Jiang Yuming immediately smiled, "Of course..."
"So, are you going to choose me or not?"
Agent A looked at the old man and said, "Uncle Li, can we choose again?"
The old man nodded. "Whatever you want."
Upon hearing this, the faces of the nine "idols" opposite them immediately darkened. They whispered among themselves and ignored the matter.
"I choose Jiang Yuming..."
"I choose Jiang Yuming..."
"I also choose General Manager Jiang..."
……
As expected, the nine agents spoke in unison.
Seeing this, Meng Youcheng also raised his hand, "I also choose Jiang Yuming."
If it weren't for the mission, he really wouldn't have chosen this jerk. He had this arrogant and overconfident attitude that annoyed him every time he saw him.
But there's no other way. We'll just have to take it one step at a time, focus on getting things done in the present, and then we can talk about becoming his manager.
The boy glanced at him, his expression somewhat disdainful.
Brother, don't go too far!
Enough is enough!
Am I really that bad?!
You fucking despise me like that!
Jiang Yuming looked at the nine agents in front of him and immediately smiled. "Since you all want to choose me, then don't I have the right to choose?"
Uncle Li, watching this scene from a distance, nodded with interest. "Yes, the choice is yours now."
"Actually, I feel everyone is doing quite well..."
The boy looked at the nine agents and said, "I'll give you a few questions, and you can answer them one by one in an elimination round. The final winner will be my agent. How about it?"
Awesome!
This guy has successfully been chosen as a concubine, no, to be precise, he's choosing an empress here.
Forget it...
If it weren't for the mission, Meng Youcheng wouldn't have bothered to become his agent. He would rather choose someone ugly and without resources than this difficult one!
"good……!"
The agents all agreed in unison...
This guy started asking questions one-on-one, and based on the current order, I was still the last one.
Just as the man was wondering what kind of difficult question the boy would pose, Jiang Yuming's exchange with the first agent immediately surprised him.
Jiang Yuming: "How do you say 'banana' in English?"
Agent A: "Banana?"
Agent A clearly couldn't believe his ears, but he still answered the question with some doubt.
The boy patted him on the shoulder. "Correct, next..."
Jiang Yuming: "How do you say 'apple' in English?"
Agent B: "Apple?"
"Correct, next..."
Meng Youcheng could hardly believe his ears...
What kind of crazy question is this?
Do kindergarten children answer questions?
Even a fool would know that.
What's the point of setting this kind of question?
Jiang Yuming: "Correct, next..."
In less than five minutes, all nine agents had finished answering the questions, and unsurprisingly, they all passed.
Meng Youcheng finished the sentence, looking directly at the boy...
The moment Jiang Yuming saw him, his face was filled with disgust...
Is he really not mentally ill?
I feel he needs to get some treatment, or maybe see a neurologist or something.
Jiang Yuming didn't look at him for long before asking, "Are you ready, uncle?"
What...?!
he……?!
If he had to live with such a despicable person, Meng Youcheng suddenly felt that he might as well kill him right now...
Holy crap!
That's incredibly rude! And now he's acting like I killed his whole family, giving me that long face the moment he sees me.
Meng Youcheng smiled wryly, "Alright..."
Jiang Yuming was about to speak when he suddenly laughed...
What does that mean?
That smile looks weird.
He didn't just smile faintly; he burst into laughter, like a madman...
"Hahaha……"
He forced a smile, pursed his lips tightly, and coughed softly a few times...
The man maintained his professional fake smile, calmly looking at him.
The boy spoke, "By the bed... the moonlight... haha..."
He smiled again...
I don't understand what makes him funny.
Was it because the questions he asked were so stupid that he laughed at himself?
Meng Youcheng couldn't stand it any longer and said, "Is the next line...?"
The boy shook his head frantically, trying to suppress his laughter. "What was the previous line?"
ah……?!
It wasn't you...!
You gave the previous people questions? They were all idiotic English, but why are you giving me classical Chinese poems...?
And what about the line "Moonlight before my bed"?
The man was stunned...
He pursed his lips, his mind racing...
Anyone with eyes can see that this idiot is deliberately targeting me, deliberately posing a question with no answer, just trying to kick me out of the game...
What should I do?
After hesitating for a long time, Meng Youcheng spoke, "Quiet Night Thoughts, Li Bai."
Looking up, this should be the sentence.
The boy held up a finger and waved it. "No, no, no... 'Bright moonlight before my bed,' there's no preceding line."
The man didn't say anything and stepped back...
Jiang Yuming immediately became anxious, "Aren't you going to ask why?"
Meng Youcheng thought for a moment, "I don't want to ask..."
The boy immediately became anxious. "No! You want to ask! Ask me now, why are they all in English?! Why is yours classical Chinese poetry?! Why isn't there a preceding line to 'The bright moonlight before my bed'?! Ask me now!"
The man looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Huh?"
"What? Hurry up and ask!"
