"This bastard."
Leng Ruobing’s teeth lightly bit her lip, feeling so irritated by Xiao Zheng’s reluctance that she was itching to bite sothing, yet she was helpless to do anything; if Xiao Zheng didn’t want to go, there was nothing she could do.
"Fine, if you go with , then I will... I will..." Leng Ruobing’s face went red, and she said in a low voice, "I will agree to your conditions."
"My God!"
Xiao Zheng, upon hearing this, was taken aback, staring in disbelief at Leng Ruobing.
This ice queen beauty had really agreed?
"Heh heh heh, since my wife has instructed so, how could I possibly refuse? Rest assured, even if this ti it were a journey through mountains of swords and seas of flas, I would still go."
Xiao Zheng first put on a display of righteousness, with a string of grandiose words.
Then he looked Leng Ruobing up and down, stroked his chin, and pondered, "However, we also need to consider where to kiss and how to kiss when the ti cos; sigh, what a troubling issue."
"Scram!"
A stack of docunts suddenly struck Xiao Zheng on the head.
"Ow! A hit is a sign of affection, a scolding is an expression of love. Wife, you hit and scold - you must really love !"
Xiao Zheng snatched the docunts, smirking cheekily.
.......
The place Han Shirong arranged to et Leng Ruobing was a very high-end café, located within a skyscraper in the bustling comrcial district of Shanghai, and it even spanned two floors.
The café’s style was one of Northern European simplicity and elegance, reportedly designed by an international master architect who had won the Pritzker Prize.
Stepping inside, one could imdiately feel a sense of peacefulness and natural ambiance.
"Haha, go ahead upstairs, I’ll just wait here on the first floor," Xiao Zheng said to Leng Ruobing as they entered the café.
The eting this ti might involve so business secrets, and naturally, Xiao Zheng wouldn’t rashly go upstairs; having agreed to Leng Ruobing’s request, he was bound to fulfill his duties conscientiously.
"Alright, then you wait here. After the talk, I’ll call you."
Leng Ruobing nodded and went upstairs with a stack of docunts, as Han Shirong was waiting for her at a private seat on the second floor.
Xiao Zheng found a corner, ordered a cup of coffee, and his eyes began wandering everywhere.
"Each place has its own charm. Nightclubs are great, but they’re too unrestrained; I haven’t even spoken yet and I’d already be entangled by countless lonely beauties.
On the other hand, this café, tranquil and comfortable, offers a ’good old days’ vibe, full of pure snow-like schoolgirls, artsy girls with furrowed brows, and exquisite career won. It’s certainly worth exploring," he mused.
Xiao Zheng felt as if he had opened the door to a whole new world.
.....
anwhile, on the second floor.
"Hello."
Leng Ruobing found the seat reserved by Han Shirong and sat down. Without beating around the bush, she took out a stack of docunts, spread them out, and said with an indifferent face, "I think our collaboration this ti..."
But before she could finish, Han Shirong interrupted her.
Han Shirong, the young master of the Han Group in Zhonghai City, ranked among the top ten elites under thirty in the city, boasted a higher education from Niu Bi University in the United States. Whether it was status, wealth, or background, he was the epito of a second-generation rich kid and a bona fide elite returnee!
He was a young man in his twenties who looked quite refined, with rugged features, fair skin, and a smile that gave off a gentlemanly air.
One could tell that he also had a good build; the deep blue suit he wore accentuated his figure, giving him an aura of maturity and stability.
If an ordinary little girl saw Han Shirong like this, she would probably scream loudly, for his appearance was truly attractive, making him a handso man indeed.
"Young Master Han, may I know what business you have?"
Leng Ruobing was just about to speak when Han Shirong interrupted her. She couldn’t help feeling a bit uncomfortable. Her expression chilled slightly, displaying the deanor of a great CEO as she asked indifferently.
Though her words were mild, they carried an invisible pressure.
Seeing this deanor from Leng Ruobing, Han Shirong inwardly praised her.
The colder the woman, the more it aroused a man’s desire to conquer. Han Shirong had seen Leng Ruobing once before and was deeply captivated by her temperant, so he had firmly resolved to win her over.
"Haha, Ruobing, our Han Family has a cooperative relationship with your Leng Family in the business world, right? Our relations have also been quite good."
With this thought in mind, Han Shirong gave a slight smile and said, "Given this, why should our conversation start with such cold business agreents? We could just chat casually."
It must be said that Han Shirong indeed lived up to being the sole son of the Han Group’s head, having received various forms of grooming since childhood. Now, as he spoke, he showed extraordinary charm.
The words he spoke left no room for criticism.
Leng Ruobing’s brows furrowed slightly, but she had to admit that Han Shirong made so sense and said, "Fine, we can chat casually, but I’m not used to talking with people and may cause so awkward silence, I hope you understand."
Once Leng Ruobing spoke, she exhibited her unique style, making her formidable to contend with.
Han Shirong smiled and said, "Indeed, the CEO of Qianqiu Group remains as unapproachable as ever. I wonder who will be able to unlock your heart?"
Leng Ruobing looked at Han Shirong impassively, without saying a word.
Han Shirong had thick skin; even in this situation, his expression didn’t change, and he continued to smile, "How is your father feeling lately? Haha, I rember, the last ti I t with him,
he said, ’Little Han, I think you and our Ruobing are quite compatible. If you two were to get together, it would benefit both of our groups greatly.’"
"Han Shirong."
At this mont, Leng Ruobing spoke up, "If your small talk is about this matter, then we can end it here."
She was straightforward and direct, leaving no room for further discussion.
Even though Han Shirong’s skin was as thick as a city wall, even he seed a bit embarrassed at this point and forced a smile, "Ruobing, what are you saying? You know I’ve liked you for a long ti. Don’t you have any feelings for at all?"
Leng Ruobing said, "I’m already married."
Upon hearing this, Han Shirong laughed heartily, "Ruobing, don’t use that as an excuse. I’ve investigated before, your marriage is just a sham, a re formality, it’s fake."
Leng Ruobing’s gaze suddenly sharpened, radiating a dangerous aura as she stared at Han Shirong, "You investigated ?"
...
anwhile, at the first floor of the café, Xiao Zheng wore a beaming smile as he watched a female student dressed for school doing her howork, his face showing a rare touch of warmth.
The student reminded him of a leisurely and quiet life. Evil God, a mighty figure, always thrived amidst the chaos of warfare, but at tis, he too felt weary.
He longed for a peaceful life.
Every tough man has a tender side.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, just then, out of the corner of his eye, Xiao Zheng spotted a sneaky figure.
It was a middle-aged man, already showing signs of corpulence, who walked briskly to the café’s counter. As the waiter was serving coffee, the man took out a small package and poured a sachet of powder into the coffee!
