Men Are All Pigs!

"President Jiang... regarding the planned investment?"

Gathering herself, Leng Qingqiu lightly pursed her red lips, bit down on them with pearly teeth, and looked at Jiang Che seated across from her as she spoke tentatively.

Since Jiang Che had been willing to let her come, it meant there was still room to negotiate the investment. The situation was not yet hopeless.

Even so, Leng Qingqiu still felt unsettled and incredibly nervous.

"Shouldn't President Leng show some sincerity first?"

Jiang Che looked at Leng Qingqiu with an amused, half-smiling expression.

Now that he held the initiative in the negotiations, Jiang Che was naturally in no hurry.

Back at Yuexin Restaurant, Jiang Che had already given Leng Qingqiu an unmistakable hint. He did not believe this icy beauty of a president had failed to understand his implication.

"Of course..."

Hearing Jiang Che say that, Leng Qingqiu relaxed slightly.

She immediately took out the contract she had prepared beforehand, handed it to Jiang Che, and spoke softly.

"To express my apology to you, President Jiang, if you are willing to continue investing in Lanzi Group, I am willing to offer 20% of the shares."

Though she appeared calm on the surface, Leng Qingqiu's heart was bleeding at that moment. The pain was unbearable.

After their unpleasant encounter last time, Leng Qingqiu understood that if she wanted to secure Jiang Che's continued investment, she had to give up some benefits.

At that thought, Leng Qingqiu felt utterly frustrated, and her hatred for that bastard Xiao Chen grew even stronger.

If that guy had not suddenly jumped out to ruin things last time, why would she have fallen into such a passive position?

Leng Qingqiu personally held 67% of Lanzi Group's shares, giving her absolute control.

It could be said that Lanzi Group was entirely under her command. She alone had the final say in all matters, large and small.

Unless she was truly left with no other choice, Leng Qingqiu naturally did not want to sell the shares in her hands.

Even if she sold 20% of the shares to Jiang Che, she would still remain the largest shareholder with absolute authority, but her every move would be constrained.

When the time came to make major decisions, she would have to discuss everything with Jiang Che, the second-largest shareholder.

As for the remaining 33% of Lanzi Group's shares, they were held by the various old-timers on the board. Their individual stakes were too small to stir up any trouble, so Leng Qingqiu did not care much about them.

"I can sign this contract, but President Leng will need to agree to one small request first."

After reading through the contract and confirming that there were no traps, Jiang Che spoke.

"What request?"

"Please say it, President Jiang. As long as Qing Qiu can do it, I will not refuse."

Seeing Jiang Che agree, Leng Qingqiu was secretly delighted. Her lips curved slightly upward, forming a breathtaking smile on her lovely face. Her beautiful eyes blinked as curiosity flickered within them.

"It's simple. As long as President Leng agrees to become my woman, I'll agree to finance Lanzi Group. What do you say?"

Jiang Che spoke casually, fully baring his fangs.

Lanzi Group had now truly reached the end of the road, and he was Leng Qingqiu's only salvation.

With such a wonderful opportunity before him, Jiang Che naturally would not let it slip away.

Was this taking advantage of a crisis? Was he exploiting her misfortune?

After learning that he was the Big Villain, Jiang Che had long abandoned so-called morality. Naturally, he did not feel there was anything wrong with it.

He was already a villain, so why bother talking about morality?

Different women required different methods.

When dealing with a domineering president like Leng Qingqiu, whose career ambitions were exceptionally strong, he needed to be even more forceful than she was.

Ordinary courtship methods simply would not work on Leng Qingqiu.

After graduating from university, she had built a group worth tens of billions from nothing within just a few years.

Over the years, what kind of people had Leng Qingqiu not encountered?

To handle an icy president like her, he had to use unconventional methods.

He would not be like those other wealthy second-generation simps, relentlessly pursuing Leng Qingqiu.

"What?"

"President Jiang... are you sure you're not joking?"

At those words, the smile on Leng Qingqiu's face froze. Her eyes widened, and her expression shifted from shock to anger.

The exquisite curves beneath her chest rose and fell, revealing the turmoil in her heart.

She had even felt quite favorably toward Jiang Che before, believing him to be a gentle and refined gentleman.

They had only met twice, and he was already dropping the act?

Sure enough, crows were black everywhere. Men were all pigs!

Leng Qingqiu had already felt a natural fondness for Jiang Che. If he had pursued her by normal means, she might not have been unwilling to try dating him.

Yet Jiang Che had chosen to exploit her crisis and use such despicable means to force her. How could she not be furious?

"Of course not. I'm very serious."

Jiang Che shook his head, looking utterly solemn.

"If that's the case, then there's no need to discuss the investment anymore!"

Leng Qingqiu shot Jiang Che an angry glare, stood directly from her seat, and started to turn away on her slender legs clad in black stockings.

Jiang Che remained unhurried. He lifted his coffee, took a light sip, and spoke calmly with a teasing tone.

"President Leng, if you walk out of this office today, Lanzi Group will truly be finished tomorrow."

"If I spread the word, who in all of Linjiang City would dare finance you?"

Leng Qingqiu stopped in her tracks and reluctantly sat back down, feeling utterly stifled.

She naturally understood that Jiang Che was telling the truth. He also had more than enough power to reduce her group to ashes in an instant.

Neither Lingxiao Capital nor Star Dome Group was someone she, Leng Qingqiu, could afford to provoke.

Before a top-tier powerful figure like Jiang Che, even though she was the president of a group worth tens of billions, she had no choice but to lower her proud head.

[Leng Qingqiu was extremely frustrated. Emotion Points +999...]

[Leng Qingqiu thought you were a complete bastard. Emotion Points +2233...]

At that moment, Leng Qingqiu felt like crying without tears. She was even starting to regret agreeing to negotiate with Lingxiao Capital in the first place.

Jiang Che had simply hidden himself too well.

Who could have imagined that this Young Master, renowned throughout Linjiang for his excellent reputation, had such a face in private?

"What? Is President Leng now willing to sit down and have a proper talk with me?"

Seeing Leng Qingqiu's frustrated and furious expression, Jiang Che found it quite amusing.

A beauty faintly angry, seeming both resentful and aggrieved, was charming in every way.

Even when she was angry, she was still so breathtakingly beautiful. She truly deserved her reputation as the famous icy president.

"Have you been eyeing me for a long time already?"

Leng Qingqiu looked at Jiang Che with embarrassment and anger, gritting her teeth as she spoke. Seeing his smug, grinning face, she wanted nothing more than to punch him twice.

He clearly possessed such outstanding looks and temperament, so why did he behave in such a disgraceful manner?
