Chapter 248 Is it pressing people with power?

Of course, there are no big rocks here that Shen Gu can crush with his fists on the spot.

So Hua Feifei, who was already a little drunk, took the initiative to lower the "standard" after Shen Gu showed a embarrassed look, asking him to "just" break the surface of a chair with his fists!

Due to the location against the wall on the east side of room 606, there are two "spare" chairs.

So there is no need for Zhou Huahai to specifically ask the waiter to bring chairs from other places.

It's just that although Shen Gu has the ability to satisfy Hua Feifei's request, he is not willing to agree easily and unconditionally!

So he immediately refused to Hua Feifei with an embarrassed look on his face:

"It's not okay to do something as rude as breaking a chair with your fist at a celebration banquet!"

"Besides, the use of my qigong power also consumes vitality."

However, before Hua Feifei showed her dissatisfaction after being rejected, Zhou Huahai beside her immediately spoke to persuade Shen Gu:

"Sister Hua said she wants you to show off your abilities, just show it off!"

"Besides, it should be much easier to smash a wooden chair with a fist than a big stone. Let's just drink for everyone and make everyone happy!"

At this time, Hua Feifei saw that Zhou Huahai had come forward to persuade Shen Gu, so she did not show any displeasure at being rejected.

Instead, he continued to look at Shen Gu with a smile, his expression seemed to say: "I insist on you doing this, it depends on whether you give me face or not!"

This reminded Shen Gu involuntarily of the scene in ancient times when nobles were drinking and having fun, and had their "servants" perform performances to entertain them.

However, at this time, he did not want to take Hua Feifei's request to an extreme.

Instead, he thought of a compromise method that he thought could be used, and replied to Zhou Huahai's persuasion and Hua Feifei's "persistence" by staring like this:

"Actually, it's not impossible for me to do this for everyone in public."

"It's just this situation that reminds me of an ancient story I once read in a book."

Hua Feifei answered with great interest:

"What's the story?"

Shen Gu noticed from the corner of his eye that Su Ziqing's mouth opened in a slight smile, as if he had guessed what he wanted to say.

But now that he was facing Hua Feifei's questioning, he had no time to study this in detail.

Still, she quickly opened her mouth to explain to Hua Feifei and others:

“I don’t remember the details of the story because it took so long.”

"But the general meaning is that in ancient times, the kings of two countries agreed to form an alliance in one place."

"But the stronger king at the table said that he heard that another king played the guqin better and wanted him to perform in front of everyone."

"But the king who was asked felt that this request was too much for him. If he really played the piano according to the other person's request, it would appear that his status was lower than the other person's. In this way, he, who is also the king of the same country, would feel embarrassed. .”

Some people here immediately remembered the story Shen Gu told, while some heard it for the first time.

Hua Feifei immediately acted as if she had never heard of it before, and even took the initiative to question Shen Gu with a smile:

"Then did he play or didn't play?"

Shen Gu looked helpless after hearing this, sighed and replied truthfully:

"He was frightened that the other party's national power was stronger than his, so in order not to destroy this alliance, he finally defended the other party against his will!"

"But what he didn't expect was that when the other party saw that he had surrendered, he turned around and ordered his subordinates to write this in their history books - on such and such a day in such and such a year and such a month, so and so ordered so and so to play the piano."

When Shen Gu's story came to this point, the smile that was barely maintained on Zhou Huahai's face immediately disappeared!

He looked at Hua Feifei very worriedly.

He found that the smile on her face had completely disappeared, and she turned to face as cold as frost and said to Shen Gu:

"What you mean by this story is that I am using my power to oppress others?"

As soon as these words came out, the atmosphere in the banquet suddenly dropped from warm to freezing!

At this time, Qian Jun, the person in charge of TX Video, who had not spoken for a long time, suddenly spoke to Shen Gu:

"Mr. Shen, you must have misunderstood Sister Hua!"

"The reason why she really wants you to demonstrate your abilities in public is that, in addition to adding to the entertainment, she probably also wants to witness your Qigong with her own eyes. There is no deliberate belittling in your story."

"For us, the next martial arts variety show will definitely require a huge investment, especially since the girl group that Sister Hua is championing this year will also need to increase its popularity in the variety show, so the choice of the program director is also very important. "

"If by then your performance in the show cannot convince the public, then our show will most likely become a joke!"

To everyone, these words seemed to be a reasonable explanation.

However, Shen Gu acted as if he had already guessed that the situation would develop like this.

Facing Hua Feifei's anger and Zhou Huahai's worry, he smiled calmly and said:

"You may have misunderstood too!"

"Actually, I don't think Sister Hua is using her power to oppress others."

"Please don't be angry, Sister Hua. After I finish telling this story, everyone will understand my true intention!"

When Hua Feifei heard what Shen Gu said, her expression changed from angry to confused.

Then she made a "please" gesture to Shen Gu with her right hand, and her expression improved slightly as she waited for Shen Gu to continue telling the story.

"The rest of the story is that the bullied king has a heroic subordinate."

"He mentioned that he heard that another king was very good at playing the flute, so he proposed that for the sake of fairness, the king who could play the flute should also play a song for his king!"

Speaking of this, Shen Gu followed the plot he told and suddenly made a request to Hua Feifei:

"So my original intention is that it is not impossible for me to meet your requirements and "play the piano" for you, but you must also meet my requirements and "play the flute" for me!"

As soon as these words came out, most people at the table understood.

The reason why Shen Gu went around in such a big circle and even told an ancient story as an introduction was just to get Hua Feifei to perform something in public, so that he would feel mentally balanced!

However, Zhou Huahai and Qian Jun both know that with Hua Feifei's current status in the entertainment industry, there are very few people who can let her perform in public.

But with the ancient story Shen Gu just told as a foreshadowing, both of them already felt that if the status of "Sister Hua" was too high now, there would be no reason to perform in public according to Shen Gu's request.

That would be tantamount to Hua Feifei’s previous statement of “not using force to overwhelm others”, which would lead to a very contradictory situation!
