Dressed as a Man, I Became Tycoon’s Sweetheart

Chapter 180: Chapter 180: The CEO Likes Tea Art

Pang Kai looked at her with a hint of amusement, “What are you talking about? I’ve been by the CEO’s side for four years now. How could I possibly not know?”

“Have you ever heard of an old saying—’a fool who can’t distinguish beans from wheat’?”

Pang Kai, a top graduate from London Business School, could not possibly misunderstand the saying: it originally meant an ignorant and clumsy person who can’t tell the difference between wheat and beans. Used here, it implies… he’s too foolish to even know the CEO’s likes and dislikes?!

After Ye Xian finished speaking, she glanced at him with a mix of scorn, mockery, and even a trace of pity in her eyes.

“Ye Xian, I’m telling you, stop being sardonic here. Provocation doesn’t work on me!”

Ye Xian curled her lips, “What provocation? Even if I provoked you, you couldn’t respond. I was wondering how someone like you could stay by the CEO’s side for four years, but now I understand.”

“…Understand what?”

Pang Kai looked at her nervously, a bad feeling welling up inside him.

“Because people like you make the CEO feel secure to have around, as most bosses don’t like their thoughts to be discerned. Moreover, foolish people are more loyal and stubborn-mouthed.”

“Me, foolish? Hahaha, that’s the funniest joke I’ve heard this year! I graduated at the top of my class from London Business School!”

Ye Xian: “See, you’re still not admitting when I said you’re stubborn.”

“You…”

Watching someone who had just been full of admiration, showering him with excessive flattery, now openly displaying sarcasm on their face, crying ‘a fool who can’t distinguish beans from wheat’ and calling him both stupid and stubborn-mouthed, Pang Kai was infuriated and decided to ignore her from then on.

Indeed, the lips of an actor, deceitful as a ghost!

But Ye Xian continued to fan the flames, “Hey, don’t get angry, Brother Kai. I was just speaking the truth. A true warrior dares to face his own foolishness and admit his stupidity…”

“The CEO has many preferences, for instance, he really enjoys drinking tea and appreciating the art of tea!”

Appreciating tea art?

Ye Xian was stunned. Really?

That time when she demonstrated tea art at the gym, why didn’t the CEO show much interest? His reaction wasn’t even as significant as Shangguan Yunli’s. Could it be that her tea art was not up to par?

Impossible. After she completed her learning, her teacher even proudly claimed she was the best among his students. Could it be… it was just because she paid more money?

“!”

After Pang Kai spoke, he immediately covered his mouth in shock, wondering how he could not have held his tongue?!

He had always been tight-lipped, even the top corporate spies haven’t been able to extract a single piece of information from him. And today, he’d been tricked by Ye Xian, a small idol; he must be poisoned!

Ye Xian stroked her chin, utterly confused, “Besides tea art, is there anything else?”

“Nothing else! I won’t say anything else even if it kills me!”

Pang Kai was furious, how dare he even ask for more?

Seeing his furious demeanor as if truly aggrieved, Ye Xian condescendingly gave him an out, “Then just tell me one thing the CEO dislikes.”

“Why should I?!”

“You don’t have to. When the CEO returns, I’ll just tell him that you sold his preferences to me at a high price and even made me learn tea art to please him.”

Pang Kai: “…” Never had he seen such a despicable and shameless celebrity! Pretending to be dumb and cute in front of the CEO, but being sinister and mocking in front of him, he wanted to kill him! Out here in these remote wilds, killing him to shut him up would go unnoticed, right?
