Chapter 18 What else could this be but genius?
A sudden denial.
It made Theron laugh.
She leaned back, crossed her arms over her chest, and put her legs together. She tilted her head slightly as she looked at Meng Ran and said, "Really?"
She was clearly annoyed.
Martin couldn't keep up with Meng Ran's train of thought either, and looked at Meng Ran with a puzzled expression, as if asking: What are you doing?
What's going on?
it's actually really easy.
Despite being a wealthy man, Theron faced numerous setbacks in North America.
This will inevitably affect her personality, making her extremely eager to outdo the North American upper class.
That's why Meng Ran introduced Clarissa's background so that Cyron could first understand Clarissa's identity.
Then tell her that Clarissa wants to become an environmental star.
This will inevitably ignite Theron's competitive spirit, prompting her to vie for Clarissa's opportunity to become an environmental star, and for which she will pay a certain price.
With this mindset, Meng Ran maintained a calm demeanor.
He laughed and said, "Madam, you don't need to be angry. I'm just stating the facts. The reason why environmental celebrities are environmental celebrities is that their identity is necessarily non-profit."
And you are the brand director of Garden Meat. If you stand up to promote environmental protection, people will only think you are endorsing Garden Meat.
This explanation made Theron frown and seem to be deep in thought.
Seeing this, Meng Ran continued, "So, if you want to become an environmental star, you first have to quit Garden Meat and become an independent environmentalist."
As for whether or not to endorse plant-based meat products after becoming famous, that's fine. But before becoming famous, you absolutely cannot work for a for-profit company.
Theron's brow furrowed deeper and deeper.
She instinctively wanted to refute it.
But reason told her that Meng Ran was right.
Meng Ran continued, "Secondly, to gain more favor and support, one must possess several qualities."
"What trait?" Theron had already gotten into the rhythm.
"First, regarding your environmentally conscious image, do you think your clothing is environmentally friendly enough?"
Theron lowered her eyes, glancing at her fur coat and jewelry. Then she looked up at Clarissa, who was dressed simply and had her hair tied in a ponytail.
"It's just clothes, I can dress like you."
"That would be best. Even if you're not an environmental celebrity and are just thinking about the brand image of Garden Meat, you shouldn't dress so luxuriously unless you're attending a banquet."
Sailon didn't reply, but leaned back in his chair and looked at Meng Ran.
"Let's talk about the second trait: being single."
"What?" Theron chuckled in disbelief.
She had anticipated that Meng Ran would mention qualities like "strong," "kind," or "generous."
The only unexpected thing was that Meng Ran would be "single".
She leaned forward slowly, spread her hands, and stared into Meng Ran's eyes, demanding, "Is there a connection?"
"Of course, being single is the core competitive advantage." Meng Ran smiled and nodded calmly.
But Theron still couldn't understand.
She pondered for two seconds, her eyes darting around, when suddenly a brilliant idea struck her, and she let out a cold laugh.
"You mean, portraying a single, sexy, and beautiful woman as an environmental celebrity to arouse male audiences' sexual fantasies?"
In fact, Meng Ran did have this idea.
What's all this talk about environmental protection?
Why not look at the legs?
Single, eco-friendly women are more popular than those with boyfriends; this has been verified by big data.
But while I may think this way, I cannot say it aloud.
If Meng Ran were to actually use this as a method or approach that is presented on the table, it would seem rather clumsy.
Most importantly, Theron is determined to climb into high society, and this is not a way for her to accept it.
Martin was well aware of this as well.
He shook his head at Meng Ran without making a sound.
That expression seemed to say: We shouldn't have been in such a hurry. The safest approach would have been to persuade Theron to leave the company first, and then take things slowly later.
But how could Martin have predicted Meng Ran's line of thinking?
Meng Ran leaned back, tilted his head slightly, looked at Sai Long, and laughed, "Seductive fantasies are the thinking of a mediocre person."
"???" Seron was genuinely amused by Meng Ran's antics.
Am I mediocre?
Are you an elite?
"Countless people in this world aspire to be stars. What makes you stand out and gain public attention and favor?"
"By seducing men?"
Theron said irritably, putting her legs up on the coffee table.
This action was a sarcastic jab at Meng Ran.
Meng Ran chuckled lightly: "You don't need to be like that. What I mean is, if you want to gain public favor, you naturally have to be someone who doesn't have a persona."
"Oh?" Theron chuckled.
"Let me tell you about her character. There's a rich young lady from a wealthy family. She's beautiful and has countless outstanding suitors."
"She could have chosen the best, most romantic man to spend her life with and enjoy the best things in the world together."
However, she did not do that.
"Because she saw children suffocating from air pollution in a corner that no one cared about."
"She heard from deep within the rainforest, animals crying out because their homes had been destroyed."
"She stood on a street in Rio de Janeiro, gazing at the Christ the Redeemer statue overlooking the earth, and seemed to feel a call from God."
"At that moment, a voice in her ear told her: Child, you must do something to save this broken world."
"So she rejected all suitors who only knew how to enjoy themselves, or broke up with her boyfriend who loved her deeply."
"She was determined to dedicate her limited life to the boundless cause of environmental protection."
She didn't belong to any man; she knew she would eventually wear a wedding dress made of leaves and marry that vast lung of the earth!
"To marry the green future of this blue planet."
"This act of marrying into the rainforest, if handled well, will definitely attract a lot of attention."
"She will become a voice for climate change."
"Countless people will support her, and countless organizations will invite her to give speeches, publish books, and make documentaries."
"She can sit on the stage in universities, forums, or even more high-end venues."
"Under the watchful eyes of countless important figures, and facing those damned corporations and even Western governments, I will loudly question them..."
At this point, Meng Ran slowly stood up.
Staring intently at Theron, he uttered that classic slogan with a powerful and resonant voice:
"How dare you!!"
"These three words, along with her, will become an eternal classic in the history of environmental protection."
"And what about you?" Meng Ran bent down and approached Sailon.
Then, he lowered his eyes and looked at her round thighs on the coffee table: "Your mind is full of ideas about using your thighs to seduce people, I can't understand it."
"..." Cyron choked.
She was 100% certain that Meng Ran wanted her to show off her skills.
But she had no evidence.
Soon, something even more upsetting happened to her.
Meng Ran turned her head and looked at Clarissa sitting beside her, and said softly, "Would you wear a leaf wedding dress and marry the future of Earth?"
Clarissa was taken aback by the question.
She lightly bit the corner of her lip, just about to reply.
But then a sharp "hiss" sound came from the side.
Then, Theron stood up excitedly.
The single sofa she was sitting on slid half a meter backward because of the force of her legs.
What is she most looking forward to?
It means entering the upper class.
If what Meng Ran said is true, then it's not about entering high society; it's about standing on moral high ground and urinating or defecating anywhere in front of high society.
Is there anything more satisfying than this?
But to my utter surprise, I hadn't even had my fill yet.
The bastard on the other end of the line is telling himself that his persona is for others.
So, incredulous and somewhat unable to accept it, she said, "After all that, you're just trying to make her the protagonist of the story?"
"Isn't she the most suitable?" Meng Ran spread his hands.
"Why is she the most suitable?"
She's single.
I'm single too.
"Then who is he?" Meng Ran asked, pointing at Martin.
She continued her questioning, "He's bragged to me more than once about his two-year relationship with you, a rich girl. Are you breaking up with him just because you want to be an environmental celebrity?"
"???"
Sailong's brain was completely overwhelmed by Meng Ran's series of questions.
As for Martin, he covered his mouth, his eyes wide open, staring at Meng Ran in utter shock.
Thick~~ceremony~~ crab!
genius!
What else could this be but genius?
How can this be allowed?
