"Next, please welcome our local expert, the factory director of the automobile plant, Wang Yu!"
Wu Manman provided commentary from the side, then added with a tone of sudden realization, "I forgot to tell everyone that compared to the other experts and doctors, this Director Wang Yu's educational background is... high school!"
As soon as Wu Manman finished speaking, it erupted into thunderous laughter.
"High school? Is he here to make a joke?"
"You mean someone who failed the college entrance exam is actually trying to challenge esteemed doctors?"
"Damn it, I can barely breathe from laughing at this guy!"
...
Everyone burst into renewed mockery. People are like this; they feel fear when facing someone superior, but when they encounter someone inferior, they will ruthlessly suppress them to highlight their own worth.
This point was evident from Wang Jin, the manager at the department store who got promoted by flattery.
He was laughing so hard his back teeth were showing. It's hard to say what was so funny.
It's probably as simple as envying others' success and gloating over their failures.
The media outlets, too, all aimed their cameras and camcorders at Wang Yu, capturing every angle for exposure.
In any other context, such a scene of being in the spotlight might be a great honor.
However, in the eyes of all the media reporters, Wang Yu was an undeniable clown, and there would be no positive evaluation. Thus, their photos and videos would likely frame him as a comedic side character.
But Wang Yu seemed oblivious to everything around him. He simply met everyone's gaze with indifference and calmness in his eyes.
His demeanor, in everyone's eyes, further exemplified his incompetence.
Hadn't Dongjo Ryukawa, David Brown, or the other two expert doctors all been spirited and exuded extraordinary presence?
Yet here he was, Wang Yu, standing there as vacant as a fool.
How dare such a person propose a competition with these experts and doctors?
That's right, according to Qinglu Group's promotions, it was Wang Yu who had actively proposed the competition, challenging them to win their ten million reward!
Wang Yu simply chuckled at this, not bothering to offer any further explanation.
"Quiet, everyone, quiet!"
Wu Manman finally managed to get a word in after the surrounding laughter subsided. With a "kind" demeanor, she signaled for everyone to calm down and said into the microphone, "Now, our local expert is going to perform!"
Indeed, "perform."
In everyone's eyes, Wang Yu was merely a clown putting on a show for attention. Everyone was eagerly anticipating his performance.
"Can I say a few words?" Wang Yu extended his hand towards Wu Manman.
He gestured towards the microphone in her hand.
"Oh? Our local expert actually has something to say. Let me hand him the microphone. Let's hear what earth-shattering words he has." Wu Manman said with a smile, casually handing the microphone to Wang Yu. Then, in a voice barely audible, she added, "It's not too late to surrender now. My elder sister probably doesn't want to see you embarrassed."
Wang Yu merely glanced at Wu Manman dismissively. He couldn't understand why Wu Lingling was so straightforward, heroic, and polite, while her sister, with all her elaborate makeup, was such a character.
A brain full of straw, no matter how dazzling and beautiful her appearance.
Wang Yu shook his head and replied, "You're not your sister. How would you know her thoughts?"
"Nonsense, of course I..." Wu Manman immediately retorted, unwilling to back down. But upon meeting Wu Lingling's firm and supportive gaze beside her, she immediately lost her spirit.
"Look at her, she actually believes this country bumpkin can win? Women in love are truly foolish. Someone like him is worthy of being my brother-in-law?"
Wu Manman muttered to herself, backing away and making space for Wang Yu.
"It is a pleasure to be here and meet you all." Wang Yu took the microphone and first greeted everyone with a smile.
As expected, it was met with a barrage of boos.
"You embarrassing fool, get off the stage now!"
Someone in the crowd shouted. However, Wang Yu said nothing and continued on his own.
"It is indeed my honor to be able to communicate with the experts and doctors from Qinglu Group here today. The professional technical level displayed by the experts is worthy of my study and admiration."
Wang Yu continued speaking. After all, courtesy costs nothing, and a little extra effort doesn't hurt. Saying a few pleasantries is never wrong.
"Heh, are you trying to surrender?"
Mu Yuntao, the third judge from the Mu family, who had been silent until now, suddenly spoke, appearing very impatient.
"I traveled all the way from Dongma Country specifically to see what capabilities this kid has. He stirred up so much trouble, and now he's here babbling nonsense!
From the preparations to the competition now, you've all been dithering and dragging things out for so long.
I'm different from you small fry; my time is extremely valuable! Can you afford to waste it?"
Mu Yuntao's tone was filled with impatience, and he had the status and confidence to speak this way.
Indeed, when he spoke, everyone present fell silent.
"Heh, no one is begging you to be here." Instead, Wu Lingling suddenly stood up, a cold smile on her face.
"You b*tch, I've been holding back, and you have no right to speak here!" Mu Yuntao's eyes sharpened as he looked at Wu Lingling.
"Heh, who are you calling a b*tch?" Wu Lingling retorted unceremoniously.
"I'm calling you a b*tch!" Mu Yuntao replied without thinking.
This was met with a smile from Wu Lingling, "That's right, I'm calling myself a b*tch."
"You... you're calling me a b*tch?" Mu Yuntao was furious and suddenly stood up.
"Alright." Wang Yu stepped forward, blocking Wu Lingling and obstructing Mu Yuntao's view.
"I do agree with you on one point: my time is also very valuable, and it's indeed not suitable for wasting," Wang Yu said directly. "Although I don't know how I offended you, since you want to witness my capabilities, so be it!"
As he spoke, Wang Yu walked directly to the center of the stage and scanned everyone with his gaze.
Immediately, staff members stepped forward, intending to bring computers, projectors, and other equipment.
"No need, I don't require these," Wang Yu smiled slightly, stopping the staff, and then said calmly, "My proposal only needs one sentence, and I guarantee it will be effective!"
