At first glance, Ye Xingguang saw Yenâan sitting amongst the men, dressed in a seductive strapless dress, tidying her hair on the chair. Every gesture she made radiated an allure that for any man, would have been the deadliest poison.
Lin Hanfeng was taken aback upon seeing Ye Junqing walking over with a woman he did not recognize. âMr. Junqing, such a womanizer ⦠no wonder you lost to the younger Perry. So youâve been spending all your time with women?â
Ye Junqing ignored him, pulled Ye Xingguang down to sit, and softly spoke to her, his eyes filled with doting affection. âWhat would you like to drink?â
Ye Xingguang shook her head, took her phone out as soon as she sat down, and said, âIâll play on my phone. You do what you need to.â
Yenâan was right there, but she pulled out her phone and texted her: [Whatâs going on? You know we werenât supposed to finalize a business partner until I arrived. Did you choose the Perrys?]
Yenâan also took out her phone: [Oh, Little Nine, you have no idea how great the terms Harry Perry offered us. We hit the jackpot this time. Get ready to worship me.]
Ye Xingguang glanced up and looked at Yenâan, her eyes full of excitement: [Worship you? Donât you know who Ye Junqing, the CEO of Ye Corporation, is to me? Do you know what the CEO of the Perrys said to me today?]
Yenâan subconsciously looked up at Ye Junqing, then continued texting: [Who is he to you?]
Ye Xingguang raised her eyes, squinting at Yenâan: [Heâs my man! You donât show respect for my man, instead you show respect to the man who provokes my man. Weâre through! Iâm going to block you!]
What?
Yenâan abruptly looked up at Ye Junqing again, only to find that the girl sitting next to him was giving her a look of termination. Yenâan was taken aback and quickly texted: [Are you Little Nine?]
While texting âYesâ on WeChat, Ye Xingguang raised her head and again gave Yenâan a terminating look.
Yenâan: !!!
Really Little Nine, did she disguise herself?
Ye Xingguang: [If you donât cooperate with Ye Corporation tonight, forget about being friends. Iâll block you in a minute!]
Ye Xingguang: [As part of the cooperation with Ye Corporation, Iâm offering you the naming rights for free, but the profits have to be split fifty-fifty. If not, Iâll block you immediately!]
Ye Xingguang: [Whether we can still be friends depends on your performance tonight!]
Ye Xingguang typed at an impressive speed; after sending these three messages, she seized her phone and tucked it back into her pocket, sitting quietly next to Ye Junqing like a good girl.
Harry Perry was in high spirits at the time, all his pent-up frustrations were about to be vent. âI invited everyone over tonight to announce that Ms. Yenâan and I have reached a cooperation agreement. I apologise for having you come in vain. Tonight, the billâs on me.â
âHarry Perry, you didnât agree to a 90-10 split, did you?â Lin Hanfeng was annoyed that the lucrative opportunity he had eyed was taken away by Harry Perry.
Harry Perry responded with a smug grin, raising his wine glass in satisfaction: âItâs a trade secret, I canât disclose it. As for the bet we made, you were all witnesses. I hope that after Ms. Yenâan and I sign the contract, you can all bear witness and have Mr. Junqing honour his lost bet.â
Although everyone in the booth were quite disgruntled, it was Ye Junqing who was the most upset. The misery of others somehow made his heart feel lighter.
Harry Perry raised his glass towards Ye Junqing: âMr. Junqing, the matter of you becoming your womanâs father, Iâm afraid, can only be fulfilled in your dreams.â
