Chapter 201 - 201 173 Do You Understand What a Business War
?Chapter 201: Chapter 173: Do You Understand What a Business War Is? Chapter 201: Chapter 173: Do You Understand What a Business War Is? Inside the mall, Cheng Zhu listened to the words of his young stepmother and purposefully glanced at Shen Qingning first.
It was this look that made her, who usually had a strong presence, evade a bit, and she couldn’t help but gently tug on Wang Yushan’s sleeve, signaling that such words could easily be misunderstood.
However, Cheng Zhu immediately said, “Indeed, I’m not nervous, because I’ve often heard Shen Qingning and Jiang Wanzhou mention you before, saying that you’re an easy person to get along with.”
He wouldn’t use terms like “sister” that decreased the distance to highlight the youth and beauty of the young stepmother, because she truly was young—that was a given fact, not a compliment.
On the contrary, since she was young but held a high status, if you said she seemed like a kind sister and therefore you weren’t nervous, such an answer might not yield a positive effect. After all, she actually was a stepmother, with a significant age gap to Mr. Shen, and she might end up in an awkward situation.
When conversing with such a person, it’s best to avoid mentioning topics related to age, at least that’s what Cheng Zhu believed.
But then again, because of age, you also shouldn’t completely treat her as an elder—in that case, too, it would not be appropriate, considering everyone is young, and she likely didn’t want to distance herself too far from her own age group.
Therefore, what she deserved was respect for her status, not her seniority.
One could speak in a manner that’s appropriately relaxed and casual.
Wang Yushan looked at Shen Qingning and jokingly retorted, “That’s good to hear, I haven’t really met Ningning and Wanzhou’s friends, so I am actually a bit nervous.”
Speaking of which, a person of her status indeed might find it difficult to interact with the friends of Shen Minglang and Shen Qingning.
Especially with Shen Minglang’s friends, who were too close in age—some of Shen Minglang’s friends might even be older than her.
She might even share many mutual friends with this group of people, with overlapping social circles.
If you interact like a peer, it comes off as indecorous. If you take on the airs of an elder, that might make others uncomfortable.
After all, most people naturally harbor biases against a young stepmother, who knows what they might mutter to themselves.
She had chosen such a role for herself and didn’t care about others’ opinions and glances.
But Wang Yushan was worried that Shen Minglang and Shen Qingning would be influenced by their friends’ words and that their relationship might deteriorate.
Especially since Shen Minglang often ranted at home, causing domestic discord, forcing her to be the more careful one.
Cheng Zhu had mentioned Shen Minglang during his self-introduction, so she guessed they must be close friends.
Wang Yushan glanced at the neighboring perfume store and asked Wu Yuzhou, “You don’t mind if we go in for a look, do you?”
