The sudden agreement caught both of them off guard.
To be honest, Lin Chengcai and the other guy were prepared for a fierce argument. Not to brag, but one of them had a lot of experience, the other had great eloquence, and they knew a bit about psychology, giving them the home-field advantage. In front of Su Qing's parents, they felt that even if the young man disagreed, the two elders would definitely take their side, so it shouldn't be a problem to win him over.
They were ready to use emotional appeals and logical reasoning, but they never expected Su Qing's question about when to start the job to leave the two of them speechless, stuck like that with their words caught in their throats.
If I had known you were such an easy person to talk to, why would I even bother coming to your house? And since you agreed so readily, why did you reject it before? Trying to play hard to get with me?
