Chapter 596: Chapter 595: This act is simply catching people off guard

"Mwah, missed me after being away for so long?" Wang Hao greeted with a laugh, then spread his arms, and chuckled, "Come here and give me a hug!"

"Drop dead, shameless," blushed Bai Yaning instantly and spat, "Always clowning around with this nonsense, who would ever hug you!"

Goodness, check yourself out, you’re blushing already before we’ve even hugged—so adorable!

"Ah haha, just kidding," Wang Hao knew Bai Yaning was sensitive, so he stopped before going too far, scratching his head with a smile, before turning to Bill Bragg, "And who might this be...? You haven’t introduced us yet?"

Despite his words, Wang Hao of course knew this was the legendary show-off, Bill Bragg.

Now that he was closer, he thought Mr. Show-Off indeed looked quite handsome.

Blond hair shining like sunlight, and eyes like blue sapphires sparkling with charm. His confident, slightly cynical smile plus a sharply tailored suit and dust-free leather shoes—every little detail was flawless.

If Bai Yaning was the epitome of the perfect woman, then Bill Bragg had to be the dream man of countless young girls!

No wonder Zhao Zhenhao and the others turned green with envy the moment they laid eyes on Bill Bragg, like roosters spoiling for a fight!

"This is Bill Bragg," Bai Yaning introduced him to Wang Hao, "the eldest son of the Brage family, the future heir." Then to Bill, "Wang Hao, my boyfriend."

Her voice was not loud, but her articulation was crystal clear. Even though it was only six words, they sounded incredibly pleasant to Wang Hao.

As expected, my Ice Princess is the cutest, mwah!

That’s the way to stand your ground, kudos!

"Hello," Bill Bragg smiled, extending his hand, "Nice to meet you. I’m very happy to be collaborating with the Bai family and to have the opportunity to experience the culture and customs of the Heavenly People’s Republic."

His Mandarin was impeccably standard, not even the most critical local could find fault.

Wen Bin whispered on the side, "Have to admit, the guy has really put in the effort; his Chinese is pretty smooth!"

"Yeah," agreed Zhao Zhenhao with a nod, "He’s not going to be easy to deal with!"

"Hello, hello," although Bill Bragg said he was here for a partnership, Wang Hao wasn’t naive about his intentions. But he knew better than to show it, and smiled as he shook his hand, asking pointedly, "Mr. Bill, have you been to our Heavenly People’s Republic before? Your Mandarin is excellent."

"Not bad," Bill Bragg gracefully withdrew his hand, then smoothly showed off, "I currently speak twenty-four languages, and Chinese is the most fascinating to me. I have always believed that only Mandarin can fully express human thought." Turning naturally to Bai Yaning, he smiled, "For example, this English phrase, ’If I know what love is, it is because of you.’ In direct translation, it means ’You are the reason I understand love.’ But to express it perfectly in Chinese, you could say, ’If there is a perfect match, one even fears lest the dream be broken.’ You see, when expressed in Chinese, it sounds so much more beautiful."

His fluency was effortless, without a single pause, enhancing his image immensely in just a moment!

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone around inhaled a sharp breath!

Show-off king really lives up to his name, always finding a moment to impress! And impressing he did, leaving everyone at a loss for words, with not a single fault to pick!

Zhao Zhenhao swiftly pulled out his phone, "That’s it, Brother Hao has met his match this time, and what a strong opponent!"

Fang Wenbin, "Yeah, in trouble now. The title ’king of show-offs’ is well deserved! Elegant words that also express his admiration for Ice Princess, damn difficult now!"

Wang Mengfei, "Should I just knock him out and send him back to sleep? I’m afraid Brother Hao might be at a disadvantage in a direct confrontation!"

Ren Xing, "Amazing, I’m just gonna watch silently..."

Zhao Zhenhao and the rest were worried, all their hearts in their throats for Wang Hao.

After all, with the show-off king’s capabilities of impressing women while flaunting, the impact on women could be huge! Although Bai Yaning wasn’t that superficial, who could guarantee no troubles?

There’s an old saying, isn’t there? A good hoeing makes any wall fall!

"Mr. Bill’s depth of knowledge is indeed beyond my expectations," Wang Hao smiled and nodded, replying, "What you said is correct, I’ve studied this myself. For instance, ’Wherever you go, whatever you do, I will be right here waiting for you’ translates directly to ’I will be here waiting no matter where you are or what you’re busy with.’ Yet, expressed in Chinese, it could be said as ’Last year the crab apple locked the vermilion tower, dancing in sleeves under the blooms, but now, alone and haggard, the crab apple blossoms drop like crystal tears.’"

Thinking, try to show off in front of me, as if I’m that easy to handle?!

Sure enough, as soon as Wang Hao finished speaking, Zhao Zhenhao and the others were completely stupefied!

Brother Hao’s act was simply refreshing and unique!

Zhao Zhenhao began tapping on his cellphone keyboard furiously, "Brother Hao is awesome! His performance was simply perfect!"

Fang Wenbin said, "Exactly, completely beyond my expectations! The stuff King of Bluff said earlier could be prepared behind the scenes, but Brother Hao’s response was totally improvised! Simply invincible!"

Wang Mengfei added, "Of course, who do you think Brother Hao is!"

Ren Xing chimed in, "Brother Hao truly deserves to be Brother Hao, my boss is just that awesome!"

Actually, when Bill first recited the line "If such a fair person exists, I fear the dream will lead to thoughts of evil," Bai Yaning kept her composure outwardly, but inside she was genuinely worried for Wang Hao. But now that Wang Hao had easily neutralized the opponent’s offensive and even appeared to have the upper hand, she found him very strong.

"You’re saying sweet nothings to please me again," Bai Yaning smiled with pursed lips, her eyes narrowing into slits as she looked at Wang Hao, growing increasingly fond of him. "But I’ll admit you’ve said it nicely. I’m quite satisfied."

Upon hearing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

These two had been engaging in a war of words since they met, and the onlookers hardly had the chance to interject!

"Mr. Wang is indeed as scholarly as Miss Ice Princess described," Bill Bragg nodded with a smile, his gaze towards Wang Hao turning serious as he said, "Actually, one of the most interesting things about the Chinese language is a certain kind of saying. For example, that poem, ’The Chronicles of Lady Ji Hitting the Chicken.’"

Ren Xing went berserk in the WeChat group saying, "What the heck is that? The record of Ji’s proactive chicken? What is that?"

Zhao Zhenhao said, "Don’t know, it’s my first time hearing it as well."

Fang Wenbin said, "I’m also not sure, but I’m certain King of Bluff is about to show off again!"

True to form, after a brief pause, Bill began speaking, "Lady Ji, lonely, gathered chickens, which were thorn chickens. The thorn chickens chirped hungrily, and Lady Ji fed them millet from her winnowing basket. Once the chickens were fed, they jumped on Lady Ji’s writing case. Lady Ji, disgusted, hastened to shoo them. The chickens, panicked, jumped onto the small table. Lady Ji, in urgency, used the winnowing basket to thrash the chickens. Striking with the basket was swift, yet it hit the pottery figurines on the table, causing them to shatter on the floor. Lady Ji, upon seeing this, found the chickens squawking under the table. In her anger, she took off her wooden clogs and struck them, killing the chickens. Reflecting on the experience of raising chickens, Lady Ji, inspired, penned ’The Chronicles of Lady Ji Hitting the Chicken.’"

He spoke the whole text without missing a single word, then smiled and explained, "To explain, Lady Ji felt lonely and gathered some wild chickens to keep, which were thorn chickens from the thorns. When the thorn chickens were hungry, they chirped, and Lady Ji fed them millet from a winnowing basket. After eating, the chickens hopped onto Lady Ji’s writing box, which Lady Ji did not want to get dirty, so she hurried to chase the chickens away. The chickens in panic jumped onto a small table. Desperate, Lady Ji used the winnowing basket as a tool to chase the chickens, throwing it swiftly at the wild chickens, but she hit some pottery figurines on the table. The figurines fell and shattered. Lady Ji glanced angrily, and seeing the chickens squawking beneath the table, in a surge of fury, she took off her wooden clogs and struck the chickens, killing them. Remembering her experience with the chickens, Lady Ji got excited and wrote ’The Chronicles of Lady Ji Hitting the Chicken.’"

Upon finishing these words, Zhao Zhenhao and the others were all stupefied!

Fang Wenbin exclaimed, "There’s such a tactic?! Holy shit, I’ve seriously never heard of this before! Damn impressive!"

Zhao Zhenhao said, "He’s really done his homework, now Brother Hao is in trouble!"

Ren Xing lamented, "We’re done for, it’s simply impossible to match that! The whole text is in one pronunciation; I can’t even understand it when listening!"

Even Bai Yaning, standing on the side, felt deeply concerned. With Bill’s approach upon their meeting, who could outdo him? If Wang Hao embarrassed himself in front of him, she might not mind, but it would certainly be awkward for Wang Hao!

"Who would have thought Mr. Bill would know even this?!" Wang Hao was also amazed, widening his eyes and saying, "I thought I was the only one bored enough to play with this stuff, but it turns out Mr. Bill has seen it too! ’The Chronicles of Lady Ji Hitting the Chicken’ is a quite famous homophone poem, there are a few others that are also quite good."

"Oh?" Bill exclaimed, "Could it be that Mr. Wang also knows?"

Wang Hao smiled shyly, "Just a little, just a little."

Hearing Wang Hao say this, Zhao Zhenhao was instantly dumbfounded! Damn, this scene feels so familiar, doesn’t it?! Last time, Brother Hao just kept saying ’just a little’ and then beat us until we couldn’t take care of ourselves!

Is it ’just a little’ again this time?!

Zhao Zhenhao was ecstatic, "Brother Hao is so badass! This is in the bag!"

Fang Wenbin asked, "For real? Brother Hao can match this as well?"

Zhao Zhenhao said, "Definitely, remember the meal at Hualong Xuan, when Brother Hao was always ’just a little,’ and you know what happened..."

Ren Xing laughed heartily, "Haha, Brother Hao is truly unbeatable!"

As expected, Wang Hao smiled modestly and then said, "Actually, corresponding to ’The Chronicles of Lady Ji Hitting the Chicken,’ there is also another one, called ’Shi’s Lion Eating History.’"

As soon as he said this, everyone immediately fell silent, eagerly awaiting Brother Hao’s next words!
