Just imagining Leng Qingqiu nestled in Jiang Che's arms made Xiao Chen feel as though his heart hurt so badly he could barely breathe!

"Security Guard, I want out!"

"I agree to reconcile with Jiang Che! Let me out, now!"

Just like that, Xiao Chen was brought back to the interrogation room.

In front of both sides' lawyers and several police officers, he signed the settlement agreement.

The moment he signed it, Xiao Chen's fingers trembled wildly, and his heart bled.

One billion!

A full one billion!

How many arms would he and his brothers have to sell to earn that back?

"Very good, 0077. You made the right choice!"

Wang Mu smiled faintly, expressing his approval of Xiao Chen's sensible behavior.

Although he was extremely surprised that Xiao Chen could produce one billion in liquid funds all at once, Wang Mu had no intention of looking into it.

After all, this was someone Young Master Jiang had his eye on. How Young Master Jiang wanted to deal with him was not something Wang Mu could interfere with. He only needed to follow orders.

"Make the transfer. Here's the bank account number."

Lingxiao Capital's legal representative directly took out a POS machine and handed it to Xiao Chen, stating Lingxiao Capital's corporate account number. Officer Zhang beside them also returned Xiao Chen's bank card at the right moment.

Though he found it rather baffling that they wanted him to transfer the money on the spot, Xiao Chen did not think much of it.

After taking back his bank card, he shakily completed the transfer procedures.

Seeing this, the chief lawyer left the interrogation room and called Jiang Che. Only after receiving an affirmative response did he return and bid Wang Mu farewell with a smile.

"Captain Wang, since the matter has been resolved, we'll be taking our leave first..."

"Please, go ahead..."

After the representatives and lawyers from both sides had all left, Xiao Chen looked at Wang Mu with anticipation in his eyes.

He had already signed the settlement agreement. He could finally leave now, right?

Meeting Xiao Chen's extremely hopeful gaze, Wang Mu smiled faintly, displaying impeccable professionalism. Yet the words he spoke made Xiao Chen's mind crash completely, leaving him utterly dumbfounded.

"According to Article 36, Clause 2, Note 108 of the <Public Security Administration Punishments Regulations>, you still need to remain in detention for another four days..."

"What?"

"I still have to stay for another four days!"

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen's eyes widened. His face alternated between green and white, his features twisting together as he trembled with rage!

He had already paid a sky-high settlement fee of one billion, and they still fucking wanted to detain him?

Where was the justice in that?

Jiang Che again!

The more Xiao Chen thought about it, the angrier he became. The angrier he became, the more he thought about it, until his face turned bright red.

Finally, with a "pfft," he spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted on the spot.

Qingteng Villa

The sun was bright, and the breeze was gentle.

After receiving Xiao Chen's one-billion transfer, Jiang Che was in high spirits. He changed into a well-tailored custom suit, put on a limited-edition Vacheron Constantin watch, and headed straight for the parking lot surrounded by a group of maids.

He had already arranged a business negotiation with Leng Qingqiu for two-thirty that afternoon, so naturally Jiang Che would not break his word.

After all, Xiao Chen's funds had successfully arrived, so there was no need for him to keep delaying things.

As the roar of the engine rang out, the Pagani Zonda shot off like an arrow released from its bow with a whoosh.

Forty minutes later, Jiang Che arrived at Lingxiao Capital's headquarters building.

After parking the car, he entered the company and took the president's private elevator directly to the twenty-sixth-floor penthouse.

Upon entering the president's office, Jiang Che had someone summon Han Yang. Leaning back in his spacious executive chair, he casually asked, "How is the secretary recruitment going?"

"Reporting to President Jiang, the recruitment fair has been arranged. It should officially begin in about seven days..."

Han Yang efficiently prepared coffee for Jiang Che while reporting on the progress of the secretary recruitment.

Although Jiang Che had not stated it outright at the time, Han Yang had already figured out Jiang Che's true intentions and naturally handled the matter seriously.

Otherwise, why would hiring a female secretary alone require so much trouble?

"Not bad. You may go."

Jiang Che gave Han Yang an approving glance. Being around smart people was effortless. He truly liked subordinates who could read his mind.

Since there was still time, after dismissing Han Yang, Jiang Che lowered his head and began handling the various documents and investment project endorsements that had piled up over the past few days.

As the Jiang Family's eldest legitimate grandson, Jiang Che had received the highest standard of education since childhood. He had dabbled in finance, investment, talent management, and more—he could be said to be well-versed in every aspect.

Since he would one day inherit the entire Star Dome Group, it was always good to familiarize himself with and master the company's various procedures in advance.

Before he knew it, time had flown by, and it was soon two-thirty—the time he had arranged to discuss cooperation with Leng Qingqiu.

After finishing the work at hand, Jiang Che glanced down at his watch and had someone invite Leng Qingqiu over from the reception room.

Not long afterward, Leng Qingqiu, dressed in a tailored business skirt suit, appeared in the president's office.

After bringing Leng Qingqiu over, Han Yang gave Jiang Che a slight nod and left directly, thoughtfully closing the office door behind him.

"Sorry, I only just finished dealing with my work. There have been a lot of matters to handle these past two days."

"Please have a seat, President Leng..."

A perfectly measured apologetic smile appeared on Jiang Che's face as he gestured for Leng Qingqiu to sit across from him.

Naturally, Jiang Che had said that on purpose.

Ordinary courtship methods would never work on a workaholic like Leng Qingqiu. He could only take a different approach.

The essence of love had always been mutual attraction.

To attract a workaholic like Leng Qingqiu, he naturally needed to establish himself as someone who was serious and diligent about his work.

That way, Leng Qingqiu would develop a sense of recognition, then admiration, followed by curiosity, and finally fall for him.

Jiang Che had long since devised an entire plan for this.

I have every trait you like. I can pretend to be every type of person you like.

"Thank you, President Jiang..."

After thanking him, Leng Qingqiu gracefully took her seat. A faint, elegant smile appeared on her face, though it looked rather forced.

Compared to three days ago, Leng Qingqiu now appeared somewhat haggard. The dark circles beneath her eyes were severe, and her complexion was slightly pale. She looked like someone who had not slept properly for days.

The group she had spent years struggling to build with her own hands was about to go bankrupt. It would have been strange if she could sleep well.

After sitting down, Leng Qingqiu took a light sip of the coffee Han Yang had prepared beforehand, refreshing herself. Only then did she feel slightly more at ease. When she looked at Jiang Che, there was a trace of recognition and admiration in her eyes.

She had already held a natural fondness for a man like Jiang Che, who had repeatedly created business miracles. Now that she saw how seriously he approached his work, her favorable impression of him naturally deepened.
