Chapter 3640: A Mysterious Young Man
“Then what can you give me?” Simon was a smart person. He knew well that it was not beneficial for him to continue the stalemate, so he took a step back.
Qiao Nian raised her baseball cap with her left hand and turned around lazily. She looked away from the scenery outside the window and strode in. “I can promise you. As long as you step down from your position as the President, I can agree not to implicate the Chamber of merce Alliance.”
Silence.
Simon almost laughed in anger.
He stopped in his tracks and clenched his fists. His face was ashen as he replied, “This condition doesn’t seem beneficial to me. Why should I care about the Chamber of merce Alliance’s interests if I’m no longer the president?”
Qiao Nian turned around and met his burning gaze without saying anything. After a few seconds, she said indifferently, “This is something you should consider, not something I should consider. I’m not forcing you to accept it. You can choose not to reveal it. At most, I’ll investigate it myself.”
Simon stood rooted to the ground, his mind buzzing. His expression changed. “Miss Qiao, at least let me see some benefits… Your condition is too harsh.”
Qiao Nian sat on the sofa and smiled inexplicably. Then, she licked the corner of her lips and said impatiently, “You wanted my life, do I have to give you a good deal?”
Simon’s expression changed again.
Qiao Nian did not give him a chance to continue bargaining. She waved her hand and said, “I’ll repeat. You can disagree.”
Simon thought about it for more than half an hour.
Qiao Nian sat on the sofa with crossed legs and played with her phone.
She did not rush him.
Half an hour later.
Simon closed his eyes tightly and opened them again as if he had accepted his fate. A tired expression appeared on his face. “I agree to your conditions.”
Then, he woodenly said, “I hope you’ll keep your word and only make things difficult for me. In the future, you won’t make things difficult for the entire Chamber of merce Alliance because of this!”
The girl put away her cell phone and casually nodded.
Simon knew Qiao Nian well. Since she had promised, she would not go back on her word no matter how perfunctory she looked.
The weight on his heart was lifted. He said blankly, “A young man looked for me.”
Qiao Nian looked at them.
…A young man?
She knew very well that Shadow did not look young anymore. At least, no one would use the words “young man” to describe him.
The person who came was not Shadow?
Who was that?
She did not continue. Instead, she listened to Simon.
Simon sized her up and continued, “That person looks three or four years older than you, definitely not more than 30. He’s low-key and smart. He came directly to me for negotiation. He said he could help the Chamber of merce Alliance obtain the greatest benefits when dividing up the Ji family… I didn’t believe him at first, but then he took out Emperor Ji’s medical record. I only knew that Emperor Ji had been poisoned and wouldn’t live for long after looking at the medical record. Hence, I was tempted and reached an agreement with him.”
Everyone in the independent continent was asking about it.
However, none of the factions, including him, had obtained exact information about Ji Lingfeng’s condition.
That person showed him Ji Lingfeng’s medical report, which convinced him of the other party’s ability. Coupled with this god-given opportunity, the other party also offered tempting conditions.
He was a businessman. It was hard not to be tempted.
“After the incident, I tried to contact him, but he seemed to have disappeared from the independent continent. I don’t even know when he left the country.”
