Chapter 34 Oda: Was I the one in the wrong?
Inside the lobby.
Li Shen nestled on the sofa, listening to everyone chatting.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from the stairwell.
Immediately afterwards, Yoko strode over.
He suddenly stood in front of Li Shen, bent down, and stared at Li Shen with the air of a powerful figure:
"Li Shen, have I been too kind to you?"
sieve!
Tian Xiwei suddenly stood up, hung the headphones around her neck, and stared at Yangzi with a fierce look in her big eyes and a stern expression.
The air in the hall instantly became suffocating.
Li Shen remained nestled on the sofa, tilting his head to look at Yangzi, his face showing no fear and his attitude indifferent.
"Did I give you face?! Yes! I gave you face, and then you slapped your brother's face so hard, it was loud and clear! Hahaha!" Yoko suddenly put her hands on her hips and laughed loudly.
Yoko added, "Well done! That was satisfying! Next time something like this happens, I'll still give you face and let you hit me!"
The tense nerves of everyone finally relaxed.
Tian Xiwei silently sat back down next to Li Shen.
Yoko shouted:
"Why didn't I answer the question about wild ginseng from Changbai Mountain? Because on a public platform, I can't wrongly accuse a good person, nor can I let a bad person go unpunished. As a businessman, I must be rigorous. Without investigation, I have no right to speak."
I contacted the quality inspection department immediately, and their preliminary investigation results filled me with righteous indignation!
Just as Fukako questioned, the supplier did indeed play word games, deceiving us and the consumers.
In a fit of anger, I smashed my phone! The staff can testify to that.
Staff member: "..."
The phone was indeed broken, but as for why...
The staff chuckled to themselves.
Yoko: "We are victims just like the vast majority of consumers, but we also have our faults, such as not being strict enough in selecting products!"
I apologize to all consumers. We support unconditional returns and refunds for all consumers and will give each person a voucher.
Meanwhile, new products will be launched in the live broadcast room next week, with a 8% discount on the original price, as an apology to all consumers!
Furthermore, we are prepared to sue the supplier, as it has caused enormous damage to our company's image and reputation...
Everyone stared at Yoko, stunned by his righteous words. They couldn't help but admire him; anyone with such a thick skin would surely amount to a lot.
Zhang Ruonan said, "Before the live broadcast and recording end, let's discuss one last question: the Cold War! Couples, do you often engage in the Cold War? What are your thoughts on the Cold War?"
The Cold War is one of the most common problems in gender relations.
The Liang Song and He Meiyan couple only have nuclear war between them, and rarely have cold war.
Li Hangliang and Mai Lin were a couple. Li Hangliang wanted to have a cold war, but Mai Lin launched a direct attack, not giving Li Hangliang any chance to have a cold war.
Yoko and Huang Shengyi are a prime example of the Cold War, so much so that once they start a Cold War, it drags on for months. By the time Yoko announces the end of the Cold War and returns home, it's already several months later.
Upon seeing this, netizens flooded the screen with comments questioning Yoko, wondering if she was having an affair.
Zhang Ruonan looked at Li Shen and Tian Xiwei: "Li Shen and Xiao Tian, judging from your state, you must have absolutely nothing to do with the word 'Cold War,' right?"
Li Shen frowned, tracing back to a fragmented memory that seemed to be closely related!
Tian Xiwei cupped her face in her hands and forced a smile: "Basically, every time we argue, it inevitably leads to the start of a cold war."
Zhang Ruonan asked in surprise, "But Xiaotian, your personalities aren't like this at all!"
"Li Shen wasn't like this before. Before, every time we argued, he would either reason with me or choose to give me the silent treatment."
Zhang Ruonan looked at Li Shen: "Defendant Li Shen, I'll give you a chance to argue your case."
Li Shen rubbed his temples: "Let me think. Back then, I probably thought that if we couldn't explain it logically, we should both calm down, and then, uh—"
Tian Xiwei, her face tense, asked, "And then!"
"Then let's continue to reason with them!"
Tian Xiwei: "Listen to this! How infuriating!"
Li Hangliang nodded: "Yes, I think Shenzi did the right thing."
Liang Song asked, "Then you two can take a few days to cool off?"
Li Shen: "One night? I'll talk to her again the next day."
Liang Song: "That's fine then, I think it's okay."
At this point, Yoko had reverted to her attitude before the "Changbai Mountain wild ginseng" incident.
Yoko frowned: "What Fukako did is fine too, that's how I did it."
The four female guests: "???"
He Meiyan asked Huang Shengyi, "Will Yang Ge also have a few days to calm down?"
Huang Shengyi didn't even look up: "He'll calm down for a few months."
Merlin said, "How can it be wrong? Home is a place for love, not for logic!"
Li Hangliang: "However, if you don't explain the reasons clearly, the problems between the two of you will still exist."
He Meiyan said, "You don't understand, Brother Liang. Sometimes we women understand halfway through an explanation, but we just don't want to admit it. You really don't need to keep arguing."
Liang Song: "You refuse to admit it to the death, how do we know if you understand or not? Some women just won't understand no matter how much you reason with them."
Everyone's eyes instinctively turned to Merlin.
Merlin: "Then go ahead and follow your own logic. Why bother with us women? Every time we argue, what we women really want is just an attitude, not the so-called right or wrong."
Four men: "..."
Zhang Ruonan: "Okay, let's get back to the issue of Xiaotian and Li Shen. Every time we argue, besides trying to reason with you, he resorts to passive-aggressive tactics—"
Li Shen interrupted: "I must clarify that for me at that time, it was not called emotional abuse, but a cooling-off period. I was giving Tian Xiwei some time to calm down, hoping that we could communicate sincerely after she calmed down."
Emotional abuse is characterized by indifference, neglect, refusal to communicate, and emotional alienation; it is a form of emotional abuse.
A cooling-off period and passive-aggressive behavior are completely different things.
Li Hangliang nodded repeatedly, and Liang Song clapped.
Zhang Ruonan: "Okay! So, Xiaotian, besides reasoning with you and setting a cooling-off period, does Li Shen ever get angry with you or do anything extreme, like criticizing, yelling, or smashing things?"
"He dares!!" Tian Xiwei raised her chin.
Everyone looked at Li Shen, who lowered his head and said, "I dare not."
Zhang Ruonan: "Then Li Shen doesn't have any problems, except that he's too rational."
"Was that my problem?" Tian Xiwei was bewildered and fell into reflection.
Zhang Ruonan: "Next, please let Li Shen make his accusation. Li Shen, do you think Tian Xiwei engaged in any form of emotional abuse?"
"There have been times, many times, when we were arguing and things were getting really heated, she would just pack up and leave to film a night scene."
The argument was still unresolved, which made me so angry that I really wanted to walk with her and reason with her the whole way!
Then I tried to contact her again, but I couldn't reach her no matter what I did. It was probably a week later when I finally managed to contact her again. Wouldn't you call this passive-aggressive behavior?!
Everyone looked at Tian Xiwei:
"Calculate!"
"Calculate!"
"Oda, this is your problem!"
Tian Xiwei pointed at herself: "Me? Me?!"
