The moment Zhao Shibo heard his words being refuted, he instantly flew into a rage. He rushed out immediately, pointing at the boss and shouting, "Where did you pop out from? You act like you know everything. Do you think your words are law?!"
As he spoke, Zhao Shibo was extremely arrogant, looking at the boss with sheer contempt in his eyes.
When Zhao Shibo said this, Shen Yi and the others looked at him as if he were a fool. They all took half a step back, keeping a distance from Zhao Shibo to show that they didn't know this guy.
It was truly embarrassing. The man in front of them was no ordinary person. He was a master in the tea - art world, one of the very top. To be spoken to like this... it was all over.
"I didn't pop out from some corner. Here are all my certificates," said Yao Songtao. "I'm a senior national tea - ceremony lecturer, a tea - art technician, a senior tea - ceremony master, a national first - level tea - evaluation technician, and the supervisor of the 1?N national vocational training tea courses. You can take a good look." He took out a thick stack of certificates and placed them on the table, with a faint smile on his face.
The thick stack of certificates left everyone on the scene a bit dazed. Although Zhao Shibo had never heard of many of these titles, it didn't stop him from realizing that Yao Songtao was really something. He stood there, looking extremely embarrassed.
Not knowing how to stay there any longer, Zhao Shibo turned around dejectedly and left. Before leaving, he gave Shen Nanyi a fierce look, as if he wanted to burn a hole through her.
Shen Nanyi wasn't the least bit panicked. She gave Zhao Shibo a sweet smile. Before Zhao Shibo could react, she said with a smile, "Uncle, weren't you going to buy tea? Why aren't you buying it anymore?"
This was truly heart - stabbing. Shen Nanyi was really good at it. Especially when she said it with a big smile and a surprised look on her face, it made Zhao Shibo feel even more humiliated.
Zhao Shibo, who was already about to leave, stopped in his tracks. He suddenly turned around and rushed towards Shen Nanyi. He walked very fast, with a fierce expression on his face.
Shen Yi sensed the danger and wanted to rush over, but because they were quite far apart, it was obviously too late.
The other people present didn't think Zhao Shibo would do anything to a child. By the time they realized something was wrong, Zhao Shibo had already reached Shen Nanyi.
Facing Zhao Shibo, who was of an older generation, the ten - something - year - old Shen Nanyi wasn't the least bit panicked. Her eyes were clear, with a hint of barely noticeable contempt. This only fanned the flames of Zhao Shibo's anger.
At this moment, he didn't think about Shen Nanyi's age or the age gap between them. All he could think about was teaching Shen Nanyi a lesson. Without a second thought, he pushed her.
But to Zhao Shibo's surprise, Shen Nanyi reacted quickly and dodged. Zhao Shibo ended up pushing over the table behind Shen Nanyi. It was obvious how much force he had used.
There were many porcelain items on the table. If Shen Nanyi had fallen on them, she would surely have gotten hurt, especially considering how hard Zhao Shibo had pushed.
"Zhao Shibo!" Shen Yi was the first to react. Looking at the mess on the ground and then at Shen Nanyi on one side, Shen Yi felt a chill run down his spine.
To hell with being the son of a high - level executive. If he dared to hurt his daughter, this matter wasn't going to end like this.
"Oops, my hand slipped. Sorry. How much are these things on the table? I'll just pay for them," said Zhao Shibo. After knocking over the things, he seemed to be in a better mood. He said this with a smile, and his expression made people want to punch him.
Clenching his fists tightly, Shen Yi had to persuade himself many times in his mind to hold back from punching Zhao Shibo in the face.
He stared at Zhao Shibo so intently that Zhao Shibo started to feel a bit心虚. "There's 5,000 yuan in this card. It's enough to cover your losses. It's just a bit of money, after all."
Not willing to admit that he was feeling guilty, Zhao Shibo quickly threw down a card and was about to leave.
The people watching in the living room looked at Zhao Shibo with a mixture of shock and disdain. They couldn't believe they had been in the same tea - tasting association as this guy. What was even more embarrassing was that they used to think Zhao Shibo was a decent person.
This was so embarrassing!
"Wait a minute," said Shen Nanyi. The incident just now seemed to have had no impact on her at all. She called out to stop Zhao Shibo. "Your money might not be enough."
Throughout, Shen Nanyi's voice wasn't very loud, but somehow all the adults on the scene trusted her very much.
"Not even 5,000 yuan is enough? You're really so stingy. You seize every opportunity to take advantage. Then tell me how much it is," said Zhao Shibo, sneering.
The people around were so embarrassed that they felt like they were digging holes in the ground with their feet. They really wanted to put up a sign saying they didn't know Zhao Shibo well.
"People who haven't seen the world don't understand anything and always think others are taking advantage. Here's the appraisal certificate," said Shen Nanyi. She had prepared the certificate in advance and threw it in front of Zhao Shibo.
Zhao Shibo didn't think the things in an ordinary family's dining area could be that expensive. He picked up the thing on the ground without much care, thinking it was something like a supermarket receipt.
Strictly speaking, Zhao Shibo's thought wasn't entirely wrong, but the problem was that the things in Shen Nanyi's family were different from those in ordinary families.
Have you ever seen an ordinary family drinking tea that costs hundreds of thousands of yuan per 100 grams?
Unfortunately, Zhao Shibo didn't understand this.
So when he saw the price on it clearly, his first reaction was that he had been deceived. "You're really good at boasting. You even prepared the certificate. You're quite professional. But do you know who I am and what my son does?"
Zhao Shibo's confidence at this moment wasn't feigned. He took out his phone. Finally finding a chance to prove himself, he dialed his son's number. " Bowen, have you gotten off work? Dad's being bullied. Come quickly."
Right in front of everyone, Zhao Shibo actually said he was being bullied. The people watching felt embarrassed for him.
The on - lookers were very conflicted. Their rational side told them it was best to leave now, but their gossipy side told them to stay and watch.
"My son is right downstairs in the community. None of you are going anywhere today. Stay here and see how this family bullies people!" While the others were still hesitating, Zhao Shibo made the decision for them.
Shen Nanyi wasn't the least bit panicked. She just stood there quietly, watching Zhao Shibo's show.
With a strange father like Zhao Shibo, she was really a bit curious to see what his son was like.
As if answering Shen Nanyi's inner call, not long after, the doorbell rang.
Everyone's eyes turned towards the door in unison. Zhao Shibo was the first to rush over.
