I'm a Transmigrated Woman Who Is the CEO's Arranged Bride
Chapter 198: Receiving Gifts
……
a new day.
Shen Yue received a huge package.
From the beautiful country.
Inside, there was a set of homemade salsa from Grandma José; a large bag of chili products made by Grandma José's brother-in-law; a large jar of milk caramel sauce (dulce de leche), which was incredibly sweet; and a large box of Alfajore, a type of sandwich biscuit, a specialty snack from Argentina.
A big box of Mexican Turin liqueur chocolates, each one shaped like a small liqueur bottle (you can buy these at Sam's Club, I don't know if it's the same flavor, Sam's is quite delicious, suitable for people who don't drink alcohol but want to try it, the outside is chocolate, and there really is a sip of liqueur inside).
There was also a large jar of tropical nuts, all of them exceptionally large, like cockroaches from Guangzhou, really huge...
There are also many comforting drinks (various types of alcohol).
Horseshoe tequila (a drink that symbolizes good luck in their country), mezcal (known as Mexico's national drink)... mate tea (we already had plenty of this, and Jose included a gourd cup and straw, which I suspect were made in China), Colombian-style sausage (Chorizo), and fried pork rinds (Chicharrón). There was supposed to be coffee, but Long Wang Shen said she didn't really like it, so Jose didn't send it.
Besides the local delicacies, there were also distinctive costumes, such as a hat with the word "Papi" printed on it, which is a very fashionable and proud accessory for the Ding people, and they love it. There was also a handmade cow made of cowhide (a calf made of cowhide?), a rooster figurine (which they consider a mascot), an alpaca wool scarf, and a large piece of Palo Santo (a fragrant wood that they use in singing bowls and for meditation)...
In short, it was a really big box.
There was also a thank-you note from a Latino family, written on the back of their family photo.
This book was first published on 101read.com, providing a fantastic reading experience with error-free and orderly chapters. 101read.com is superb, offering you a reading experience without any chapter errors or disordered chapter order.
The Jose family is really big, with a huge number of descendants, which is reflected in their diverse eye and hair colors, and they are also a bit overweight overall.
But they all looked very lively and cheerful.
It's probably because fat people are less likely to become depressed. If a fat person becomes depressed, people will just assume that he wants to eat—didn't he just eat? Is he hungry again?
This large box of items was specially sent to Hong Kong by a friend of Jose's, and then shipped over.
I am mainly grateful to the Dragon King for saving my life.
It also brought him new job opportunities.
It not only saved my life, but also gave me a future.
He's incredibly popular now that he's back in China.
Although everyone laughed at him for being chased by crocodiles and crawling around, he became famous because of this, and everyone remembered him. Later, when the Dragon King came to save him, he didn't run away. Instead, he told people to leave and then turned back to help. In a life-or-death situation, he passed the test of humanity, and everyone praised his character.
Don't assume that foreigners don't care about this; they care more about a bro's character.
There are too many selfish people among them, so they have to promote selfishness, freedom, and self-expression.
However, Hollywood movies tend to glorify this kind of hero. Selflessness is usually not the main character, because if you sacrifice yourself, you will die. The main character usually survives to the end.
This world doesn't reward kindness; it rewards authenticity and the ultimate expression of yourself. If you can perfect your unique qualities, one day you'll find yourself extraordinary. (It's somewhat similar to TikTok's traffic mechanism; the most popular videos aren't those with perfect, truthful, and beautiful content, but rather those that resonate with a specific age group and achieve excellence in a particular area.)
Anyway, thanks to Shen Longwang, Jose Bro became a sensation in the United States.
If it weren't for Shen Longwang, Jose Bro's funeral would have already ended.
He was originally a baseball player, not even a top one, but now his income surpasses that of top baseball players. Jose lives a family-oriented life, and because he is well-off, he can also help other members of his family, so the whole family carefully selected gifts for Shen Longwang.
Jose said that the Dragon King loved food, so his family sent over all the delicacies they thought were delicious.
It's a pity it was delivered by courier, otherwise his grandma would have liked to send him a homemade apple pie.
However, his family was really thoughtful. They pooled their wisdom and efforts, with almost everyone in the family contributing ideas and gifts. Fried pork rinds were his five-year-old niece's favorite snack.
Shen Yue asked Xiao Fu to update her social media to thank Jose from afar, which could be seen as a small step towards establishing diplomatic relations between China and the United States starting from an individual. She also sent out the snacks, keeping some for Xiao Fu and the rest for her TV station colleagues (a very, very large portion), and kept the handicrafts for herself.
Soon, Shen Qiyi's gratitude for the snacks sent by Jose became a trending topic.
Both Shen Qiyi and Shen Qiyi trend on social media every day, but everyone loves watching Shen Qiyi's trending topics.
Because she has different content every day.
Interesting.
Wearing Pinduoduo clothes and driving a luxury car worth 1 million yuan, I don't think she's flaunting her wealth, I'm just tired of saying I'm envious.
She drives a luxury car without bothering or disturbing anyone, and she doesn't show off. However, she was accidentally discovered by fans, who still asked Doubao to make the picture clearer.
I received a gift from a foreigner today. He was quite sincere. This baseball player is really interesting. It turns out that foreigners also have a large family living together. I was fooled by Yilin magazine for many years. I always thought they were all alone, without a family, parents, or grandparents.
Everyone was excitedly discussing the snacks; some they had tried, some they hadn't, and they were curious and wanted to eat them.
The Dragon King, who's known for his ability to generate trending topics, can make anything he posts go viral.
Online stores selling foreign snacks suddenly experienced a surge in customers. So happy! I'm almost moved to tears; I want to kowtow to the Dragon King! I heard someone was selling Dragon King figurines a while ago, the kind that look like Buddha statues—"Believe in the Dragon King, no worries." But apparently, they were sued and the items were taken down.
At the same time, Professor Xia's article also became a trending topic.
Moreover, it ranked much higher on the trending searches than Xia Xiao's previous video of breaking off family ties.
Professor Xia is a well-known scholar.
He is very handsome, which is a big advantage. The school likes to send him out for publicity activities. He doesn't even need to speak; just standing there adds points. Good-looking people are naturally associated with high moral character, etc.
Perhaps influenced by TV dramas, the male and female leads in these dramas are all particularly good-looking and have positive images, which leads people to often base their values on physical appearance.
Professor Xia is handsome, speaks pleasantly, has a scholarly air about him, and is very caring and generous to his students, who like him very much.
In addition, he became a hot topic on social media because his own son and daughter said he wasn't giving him living expenses and his daughter wanted to sever ties with him. He's been in the news a couple of days now.
When this article came out, wow, it took cultured people to be able to swear. There were no profanities, but it was still very vulgar.
"The professor said his daughter doesn't read books, which is probably a way of mocking her for being uncultured—artists should also be cultured."
「省流:1教授气病发文、2女儿当公主养、3儿子海上搏命、4妻子花销巨大、5父母掏空积蓄、6留一套房子给儿子、7断亲、8教授想回去讲《诗经》」
"The collapse of a family does not begin with severing ties, but with favoritism. There is a saying that those who are favored are fearless. Professor Xia should taste the consequences of his favoritism."
"To be honest, I think Professor Xia wrote quite well. Actually, looking at the expenses he posted, it's surprising that he, a professor, doesn't even have as much savings as I do, only a few thousand yuan. That's outrageous! The kind-hearted Ms. Xu Shuxian has such high daily expenses. She's a super VVVIP at the beauty salon; one treatment there can cover Professor Xia's son's living expenses for a year."
"Evil people need to be dealt with by other evil people. I really want to see this family fight it out, hehe."
"To be honest, I'm a bit of a fan of Professor Xia. He calls himself 'Old Lamp' (or 'Deng' in Chinese). He understands the jokes that young people use. I believe his students enjoy his classes. He's quite humorous."
"A professor is a professor indeed. Even the title 'Blood and Bones and the South Wall' is quite good. Waaah, my son is a senior in high school, and his essays are terrible. I'm even thinking of getting Professor Xia to tutor him."
"The person upstairs is overthinking it. Although Professor Xia's reputation has suffered a bit, his academic achievements haven't. He's a real professor, a very high-ranking one, the kind who can supervise graduate and doctoral students."
Although Professor Xia's reputation wasn't reversed by this article, netizens aren't as naive as they used to be. In the past, people would repent and be forgiven if they did many wrong things.
Nowadays, netizens have been fooled so many times that they've become more intelligent and can think critically.
There are both good and bad opinions about Professor Xia's views.
Some students think Professor Xia is a good person. He is much better than those professors who stingy with students' money, prevent them from graduating, and make them do chores. His lectures are also very interesting and easy to understand, unlike many teachers who just read from the textbook.
Some netizens who are working are very envious of Professor Xia, who is still sponging off his parents at his age. They are impressed, saying that being a professor doesn't stop him from sponging off his parents.
Some netizens felt that Professor Xia was unfaithful to his marriage, neglected his own son, and devoted everything to his third son. The daughter raised by the third son was also a mistress, sharing the same values. He was retributed and even cried to netizens, so he deserved it.
Some netizens felt that it was good that he was willing to make amends to his son; better late than never than giving him nothing at all.
Netizens started discussing it, and the number of comments increased, even forming a social issue discussion, which is why it trended on social media.
As a result, Xia Xiao and Ms. Xu Shuxian's reputations suffered even more.
Those who control their vocalization channels have an advantage.
Ms. Xu Shuxian may have a significant advantage over individual men, but in the broader context of public opinion, such behavior is undeniable and cannot be defended.
If the family's financial situation is average, it's understandable that she wouldn't want the professor to spend money to support her son. Poverty-stricken couples face endless sorrows, and they all try their best to get by. But the reality is different. It's true that Professor Xia's son's annual living expenses are less than the cost of one of her beauty treatments. This is pure malice.
Xia Xiao's expenses for studying abroad could buy several houses in China, and in major cities at that. To put it another way, the sheer amount of money spent even half of it whitewashed her image. Because of her past experiences in prison, many people have a negative perception of international students. Xia Xiao, having spent so much money studying abroad, cultivated a wealthy heiress persona, making it unlikely she would engage in reckless behavior. (The original female lead's miraculous luck)
Ms. Xu Shuxian asked her husband to delete the article, especially the screenshots of large daily expenses and transfers.
This time, she cried, acted sick, and begged, but Professor Xia didn't give in. He was unusually firm for once.
"I just listened to you, to your doting on Xiaoxiao, and to your ignoring of Xiaoyu, which has led to me being all alone now. My parents are getting old, and I can't just live off them for the rest of my life like what netizens say. How many more years can I live off them? We're getting old, and we shouldn't think about relying on others. Although my job has changed, I still have a basic salary, and the two of us can live a decent life together. But from now on, we need to save some money for retirement every month and not spend it all."
Despite Xu Shuxian's coquettish pleading, "How could you be all alone? I'll stay with you, Brother Qingshan..."
Professor Xia remained unmoved. This time, he was very persistent. When people are truly involved in their own interests, they are not easily swayed and are extremely determined.
