Chapter 28: My Wife is More Impressive Than You:
"Wow, Young Master Yun is so dashing!"
Gou Min laughed out loud, clearly mocking him.
Zhuang Rumei's face turned dark, and she glared at Yun Bufan.
Shen Qingxin tapped Yun Bufan with her foot and said, " Speak less."
"Well, I think young people should strive to improve themselves, not just for their own sake, but also to provide a good life for their women," Feng Wei said earnestly.
"But maybe Brother Yun is a smart man. Unlike us foolish ones who must work hard to make up for our lack of talent. I worked very hard to score in the top 100 in the college entrance exam, got lucky and attended a good university, and then studied hard to go to Ivy League university."
"By the way, Brother Yun, which university did you graduate from? Maybe we are old friends," Feng Wei subtly praised himself and then deliberately asked Yun Bufan.
Shen Qianli and her mother looked at Yun Bufan with disdain.
They thought Yun Bufan would feel inferior, but he casually said, "I didn't go to college."
"Pfft—" Just as Feng Wei was about to mock him, Yun Bufan continued, "But my wife is better than you. She was the top scorer in the city on the college entrance exam."
"Your wife isn't you." Feng Wei retorted scornfully.
Yun Bufan replied with confidence, "That's not true. If I can win over the top scorer, it means I'm even more impressive."
Yun Bufan's twisted logic left Feng Wei speechless.
"He really has the nerve!" Shen Qianli rolled her eyes.
But Shen Qingxin was amused by Yun Bufan, luckily her mask hid her face.
"Ahem!" She coughed to cover up her almost laughter.
Zhuang Rumei looked sternly at Shen Qingxin, wondering why her attitude toward Yun Bufan had changed so much.
"Qingxin, your husband may not have other skills, but he sure knows how to talk."
"Comparing women is pointless, of course, it's about a man's own abilities."
"Young Master Feng is currently negotiating a big deal, worth three billion!"
Shen Qianli couldn't stay quiet any longer. In terms of college entrance exam scores, she was far behind Shen Qingxin.
Feng Wei feigned modesty, "This time, I was lucky to connect with the He Group. Three billion is just a small matter."
"That means there will be more in the future!" Gou Min was so happy she couldn't close her mouth.
"Coincidentally, our Yun Group is also planning to cooperate with the He Group. Is it the South City Overpass project?" Yun Bufan said calmly.
"How did you know!" Feng Wei was shocked and almost jumped up.
"Brother Yun, I advise you to give up. The He Group has already decided to cooperate with us."
Seeing Feng Wei so sure, Yun Bufan remained calm. "If you don't believe me, why don't you call the He Group and ask?"
Feng Wei was reluctant to disturb the He Group at this time, considering the effort he had put into building this connection. But facing Shen Qianli's expectant look, he resolutely took out his phone.
"Young Master Feng, put it on speaker so we can teach some arrogant people a lesson!" Shen Qianli said smugly.
Feng Wei put the call on speaker. Soon, the voice of the He Group leader came through.
"Feng Wei, I was just about to contact you!"
Feng Wei was overjoyed, "It's rare that CEO Wang remembers me. Let's discuss the cooperation details tomorrow."
As he spoke, he glanced around the room proudly.
Gou Min and Shen Qianli looked smug.
"Sigh!" Zhuang Rumei wished she could hide under the table.
"Actually... there's no need to discuss cooperation. You don't need to contact me anymore."
Manager Wang's voice came through awkwardly.
"Ah? What's going on?" Feng Wei felt a bad premonition.
"Just now, we received orders from above to cancel the cooperation with your company and switch to the Yun family."
CEO Wang's words left everyone stunned.
"CEO Wang, this can't be true. Are you joking?" At this moment, Feng Wei couldn't care about his face.
The contract with the He Group was crucial for his smooth succession of the company.
CEO Wang's cold and merciless words shattered his hope.
"Do I have time to joke with you? And don't contact me again. The He Group will no longer cooperate with Hengfa."
Before Feng Wei could plead, CEO Wang hung up.
Since the call was on speaker, everyone at the table heard the conversation.
Feng Wei's face looked worse than crying.
"Young Master Feng, the He Group isn't that great. If they don't cooperate, just ignore them!" Shen Qianli tried to comfort him foolishly.
"You stupid woman, if you can't speak properly, then shut up!" Feng Wei shouted in anger.
Shen Qianli looked aggrieved, "I was just comforting you; why are you so mean!"
"Goodbye!" Feng Wei's face darkened in shame.
"The CEO Wang mentioned the cooperation with the Yun family on the phone... was that really you?" Shen Qingxin looked at Yun Bufan in disbelief.
Yun Bufan leaned back, "Who else could it be?"
Zhuang Rumei was shocked; then, her face lit up with joy.
"Ah, sister-in-law, don't be angry. Yun Bufan didn't know we were all family. Besides, signing contracts is based on skills. You can't blame us!" Zhuang Rumei said, her tone both smug and sarcastic.
Gou Min was so angry that she looked like a puffed-up pufferfish.
She had planned to boast tonight but ended up being completely humiliated.
"We have other things to do. Let's end dinner here."
Watching the mother and daughter leave in a huff, Zhuang Rumei felt a deep sense of satisfaction.
"I've been mocked by those two every day for half a year. Today, I finally got back at them!"
"Well done, Yun Bufan!" Zhuang Rumei exclaimed.
Yun Bufan smiled slightly, "Thank you for the compliment."

"Reduce Su Chen's luck value."
[Ding! Su Chen's luck value decreased by 2000 points. Current total: 83,000 points]
The three of them finished their meal and left the restaurant together.
Yun Bufan deliberately pulled Shen Qingxin back a step behind Zhuang Rumei.
"Don't forget our bet."
Shen Qingxin was startled and remembered the bet with Yun Bufan.
Did that mean tonight...
