Good Girls Shouldn't Be Missed, Bad Girls Shouldn't Be Let Go

After Xiao Chen was escorted away by three police officers, Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath, steadied her ragged breathing, and forced herself to calm down.

She turned her gaze to Jiang Che beside her and spoke cautiously.

"President Jiang, about our cooperation..."

Leng Qingqiu no longer cared about Jiang Che's exorbitant demands. As long as she could continue the partnership with Lingxiao Capital, she would be thanking heaven.

Leng Qingqiu had originally felt somewhat confident, but after that bastard Xiao Chen ruined everything, her confidence had long since vanished. Facing Jiang Che now, she was filled with unease.

"Let's discuss that another time..."

"Right now, the most important thing is getting the injured to the hospital. What do you think, President Leng?"

Jiang Che was deliberately vague. He neither explicitly refused nor clearly agreed.

The meaning was simple: they could discuss cooperation, but her bargaining chips were not enough.

After saying that, Jiang Che did not linger. He gave Li Yanran a meaningful glance, then left with the three bodyguards.

"Take care, President Jiang..."

Leng Qingqiu called after Jiang Che's retreating back. Once he disappeared from sight, she collapsed into her seat, looking utterly despondent and lost.

"President, I don't think this matter is without hope..."

"President Jiang may not have agreed, but he didn't refuse either!"

"Perhaps he only had that attitude because the chips we offered weren't sufficient..."

Seeing Leng Qingqiu in such a dispirited state, Li Yanran could not help trying to comfort her.

Those involved could not see clearly, while onlookers could.

Leng Qingqiu had already drunk quite a bit, leaving her mind muddled. On top of that, Xiao Chen's absurd stunt had infuriated her half to death, making her thoughts even more chaotic. That was why she had not immediately caught Jiang Che's implied meaning.

Her words woke Leng Qingqiu from her daze.

After hearing Li Yanran's analysis, Leng Qingqiu gathered her thoughts and began considering it seriously. She nodded heavily.

"Yanran, you're right."

"Although Xiao Chen, that idiot, interrupted this investment discussion, President Jiang didn't explicitly refuse just now. That means there's still room to turn this around..."

"So what bargaining chip do you think President Jiang wants?"

"More shares?"

Leng Qingqiu looked toward her secretary, wanting to hear her answer.

"Well..."

"Probably..."

Li Yanran answered vaguely and did not state her own opinion, merely following along with Leng Qingqiu's words.

What Li Yanran actually wanted to say was that Jiang Che had his eye on her.

But considering that Leng Qingqiu currently felt somewhat guilty toward Jiang Che, Li Yanran feared she would not believe it even if she said so, and thus kept quiet.

As one of Linjiang City's Four Great Beauty CEOs, Leng Qingqiu's beauty was renowned far and wide, and she had countless admirers, including many scions of prominent families.

Although Jiang Che had been courteous and refined throughout, without showing the slightest sign that he harbored any thoughts toward Leng Qingqiu, Li Yanran still felt that this man had ill intentions toward her icy CEO...

There was no reason for it. It was simply a woman's intuition.

"Is that so..."

"Then let's return to the company right away, draw up a new contract, and pay Lingxiao Capital a personal visit. We must let President Jiang see our sincerity!"

Leng Qingqiu took a deep breath and calmly gave Li Yanran her instructions, determined to salvage this cooperation negotiation.

After leaving Yuexin Restaurant, Jiang Che called Lin Qiang over and had him take the three injured bodyguards to the hospital for injury assessment reports. Then he pulled out a bank card and instructed them.

"There are three million in this card. Consider it your compensation for getting beaten this time. The password is six zeroes. Each of you three gets one million."

"Once you get to the hospital, have the doctor forge an injury assessment report. Then, Qiang Zi, take the company's lawyers and sue Xiao Chen..."

"If he wants to settle privately, demand one billion in settlement fees!"

"If he doesn't intend to settle, send him in..."

Jiang Che knew that Xiao Chen currently had one billion yuan in laundered money, capital he had intended to use to save Lanzi Group.

But with Jiang Che around, Xiao Chen would never get that chance.

As for whether a one-billion compensation demand was legal?

That did not matter at all.

Lingxiao Capital had the finest legal team. With a powerful weapon like an injury assessment report in hand, dealing with someone like Xiao Chen would be effortless.

If Xiao Chen refused to settle, then he could spend the rest of his life in prison.

Based on Jiang Che's understanding of protagonists like Xiao Chen, there was no way he would willingly spend the rest of his life behind bars.

In the end, no matter how unwilling he was, he would have to obediently cough up that one billion.

One billion?

After hearing Jiang Che's instructions, Lin Qiang and the three bodyguards exchanged glances, all stunned by Jiang Che's appetite.

Although they felt Xiao Chen would never agree to such an unreasonable demand, they said nothing more and simply accepted the order before leaving.

"Oh, right..."

Jiang Che stopped the group that was about to leave and continued giving instructions.

"If Xiao Chen agrees to settle, make sure he still spends a full seven days in custody."

"Understood, Young Master."

After parting ways with Lin Qiang and the others, Jiang Che went nowhere else and headed straight back to Qingteng Villa.

Xiao Yi had only just become his, and this was precisely when she needed his company. Jiang Che naturally understood such a simple principle and planned to spend more time with the Purple-haired Little Loli.

As for Leng Qingqiu and Li Yanran?

At the latest, Leng Qingqiu would definitely come knocking tomorrow. Jiang Che had victory firmly in his grasp.

When that time came, the bargaining power would be in his hands. Wouldn't Leng Qingqiu be his to handle as he pleased?

As for Li Yanran...

Jiang Che had plenty of ways to handle her as well.

Although Li Yanran's personality had some flaws, Jiang Che had no intention of letting her go.

Good girls shouldn't be missed, and bad girls shouldn't be let go.

Besides, Li Yanran's figure was so lush and full that it was truly irresistible.
