Xiao Chen's Scheme to Win Over a Fierce Woman

"Qing Qiu, I heard you were going to discuss a partnership today..."

"Let me go with you. I'll be able to protect you better."

Xiao Chen walked up to Leng Qingqiu and spoke with a grin, looking utterly frivolous.

As he gazed at Leng Qingqiu standing before him, wearing exquisite light makeup, a concealed greed flashed through Xiao Chen's eyes. He unconsciously swallowed.

Leng Qingqiu had always been a peerless beauty capable of toppling cities. Now that she had carefully dressed herself up, she radiated an indescribable charm from within. Xiao Chen was nearly bewitched into an idiot.

Where in Africa had he ever seen such a stunning beauty?

That godforsaken place only had dark-skinned girls with thick arms and broad waists.

Over the years, Xiao Chen had indeed slept with quite a few women, but they had all been dark-skinned girls. He had only eaten coarse grain; he had never tasted such exquisite refined fare as Leng Qingqiu.

"Call me President Leng!"

"If you don't want to be fired, change the way you address me immediately!"

Leng Qingqiu's eyelashes furrowed slightly as she stared coldly at Xiao Chen. Disgust flashed through her beautiful eyes, and she was deeply displeased.

Xiao Chen had been at Lanzi Group for seven days now. Every chance he got, he would fawn over her in every possible way. How could Leng Qingqiu not understand what he was after?

If not for the fact that he truly had some skill, capable of taking on ten people alone and proficient in combat, she would have fired this bodyguard with no sense of boundaries long ago!

She had indeed considered firing Xiao Chen before, but in the end, she had been forced to abandon the idea for all sorts of inexplicable reasons.

Even now, Leng Qingqiu still could not make sense of it no matter how much she thought about it.

What she did not know was that Xiao Chen's Protagonist Halo was entirely to blame.

If she could just casually fire Xiao Chen, how would the plot continue?

"Alright, alright, President Leng. Let me go with you."

"After all, every man out there is harboring ulterior motives. If I'm not by your side, I'm afraid something might happen to you."

Faced with Leng Qingqiu's icy gaze, Xiao Chen immediately changed his form of address and earnestly tried to persuade her.

He knew this was the prelude to Leng Qingqiu losing her temper. If he stubbornly persisted, it would very likely backfire.

When it came to picking up women, Xiao Chen's approach was to cling to them relentlessly without any shame.

As the saying went, even a fierce woman feared a persistent man.

Xiao Chen firmly believed that as long as he persevered, one day he would completely win the heart of this cold and glamorous CEO.

The crisis at Lanzi Group had originally been a perfect opportunity.

As long as he stepped forward at the crucial moment, turned the tide, and saved Lanzi Group from danger, he would surely leave an extremely deep impression on Leng Qingqiu.

But man proposed and heaven disposed. Before he even had the chance to act, Lanzi Group had inexplicably received an invitation from Lingxiao Capital for partnership negotiations.

With his good opportunity ruined, Xiao Chen was naturally furious. That was why he wanted to accompany Leng Qingqiu and had developed intense killing intent toward Jiang Che, whom he had never met.

If possible, he even wanted to secretly sabotage these negotiations, then continue with his own move afterward.

"There's no need. Just guard your gate properly!"

Leng Qingqiu glanced at Xiao Chen. Her tone was as cold and frosty as ever, and she could not be bothered to say another word to him. She directly headed toward the nearby parking lot with Li Yanran.

Today's partnership negotiations were extremely important to her, so Leng Qingqiu naturally would not bring along some questionable person.

Besides, Jiang Che had always had an excellent reputation among Linjiang City's upper circles.

Gentle and refined, neither arrogant nor impetuous, dignified in appearance, graceful in manner, a business tycoon, the God of Investment, passionate about charity...

These were all labels associated with Jiang Che.

A person's reputation preceded them like a tree's shadow.

Although Leng Qingqiu had never interacted with Linjiang's Number One Young Master before, that did not stop her from harboring a natural favorable impression of Jiang Che.

Compared to Jiang Che, Leng Qingqiu instead felt that Xiao Chen, this man with no sense of boundaries, was no good person.

After arriving at the parking lot, Leng Qingiu handed the car keys to Li Yanran, then got into the back seat of the Maserati President.

As the engine roared, the Maserati President shot into the distance like an unbridled wild horse.

"What an ungrateful woman..."

"But I like her!"

Watching the Maserati disappear into the distance, Xiao Chen excitedly licked his lips.

Leng Qingqiu's icy air of keeping people at a thousand miles' distance did not make Xiao Chen retreat in the slightest. Instead, it further stirred his desire to conquer her.

Seeing that the Maserati was about to vanish from sight, Xiao Chen hesitated no longer.

He strode over to the Twenty-Eight-Handed Minivan he had bought from the used car market for two thousand yuan, started off in third gear, and followed after it.

Yuexin Restaurant

After Li Yanran parked the car, Leng Qingqiu led her straight into the restaurant lobby.

The moment Leng Qingqiu entered, the eyes of many nearby diners were unconsciously drawn to her.

Leng Qingqiu had long been accustomed to such attention. Her expression remained calm as her gaze swept around the room.

A balding, plump middle-aged man in a suit hurried over to her. He was the manager of Yuexin Restaurant.

"President Leng, your private room is ready. This way, please..."

The manager wore a fawning smile, bowing and scraping incessantly.

"Mm..."

Leng Qingqiu nodded lightly and, under the restaurant manager's respectful guidance, headed directly for the upstairs private room.

After Leng Qingqiu left, the diners on the first floor began whispering among themselves.

"Who is that woman? Even the manager had to greet her with such a flattering smile?"

"Damn... that woman is seriously beautiful!"

"If I could marry a woman like that, I'd be willing to drive luxury cars and live in villas!"

"I'm dying laughing, brother. Don't you have a mirror? At least take a piss and look at your reflection?"

"With that face of yours, President Leng wouldn't look twice even if she went blind!"

"President Leng?"

"Could she be Leng Qingqiu, one of Linjiang City's Four Great Beauty CEOs?"

At eleven fifty, after parking his car, Jiang Che entered the lobby of Yuexin Restaurant with three bodyguards in tow.

Jiang Che's appearance, unsurprisingly, likewise drew everyone's attention.

Some women's eyes lit up, their legs pressed together as their imaginations ran wild. They looked Jiang Che over with incomparably heated gazes, wishing they could pounce on him right there.

Some recognized Jiang Che and impatiently wanted to step forward to greet him and strike up a conversation, while others feared his status and did not dare approach casually.

"Hello, President Jiang. I'm the CEO of Changtian Technology Company, Wang Dalei..."

"Hello, Young Master Jiang. I'm..."

The three accompanying bodyguards directly stopped everyone trying to make connections on the outside, leaving no one able to get anywhere near Jiang Che.

Although the three bodyguards Jiang Che had brought this time only possessed mid-stage Bright Force cultivation and were inferior to Xiao Chen, the soldier king protagonist, stopping these ordinary people who were not martial artists was naturally effortless.

Jiang Che wore a smile as warm as a spring breeze and gave everyone a slight nod. Surrounded by his three bodyguards, he went directly up the stairs toward the VIP private rooms on the second floor.

A true Big Villain never wrote the words "villain" on his face. He merely hid behind the scenes and schemed, delivering a crushing blow to his opponent when necessary—killing with a single strike!

Besides, he had maintained the persona of a noble young master for so many years. Naturally, Jiang Che would continue to uphold it.
