Leng Qingqiu Surrenders

After accepting the plot related to Leng Qingqiu, Jiang Che already knew this cold and stunning president inside out, even though today was only their second meeting.

Leng Qingqiu was an out-and-out workaholic. Her heart held only her career, with no room for romance. She had never been in a relationship and was utterly inexperienced when it came to love.

Winning over a woman like this could be difficult, or it could be easy. The key was all in the approach.

With all the advantages attached to his status, Leng Qingqiu already had a natural favorable impression of him.

Seeing how seriously he took his work just now, Leng Qingqiu's impression of him had only improved. That was why she had not turned hostile toward him immediately.

Otherwise, given the character setting of a cold and stunning female president like Leng Qingqiu, how could she so easily submit to his threats and coercion?

Perhaps even Leng Qingqiu herself had not realized that the slight favorability in her heart toward him was subtly influencing her thoughts.

"Why are you smiling?"

Seeing the smile on Jiang Che's face grow brighter, Leng Qingqiu looked even more frustrated. She rolled her beautiful eyes and asked helplessly.

"Nothing..."

"I just think your question is a little brainless, President Leng..."

"You're a famous cold and stunning president in Linjiang City. The people who like you could line up from Tianbei Road to Tannan Road. Isn't it perfectly normal for me to have my eye on you?"

"Everyone appreciates beauty."

"A graceful lady is a gentleman's fair pursuit."

"You use the matter of cooperation to force me into submission, and you still call yourself a gentleman?"

Leng Qingqiu let out a cold laugh, her words dripping with mockery and disdain.

In truth, the moment Jiang Che made his demand, Leng Qingqiu knew she probably could not escape this disaster today.

No matter how she struggled, she would ultimately have no choice but to submit.

In Linjiang City, was there any woman Jiang Che could not get?

Perhaps if she remained firm in her attitude, Jiang Che would not do anything to her, but Lanzi Group would certainly be reduced to nothing.

Lanzi Group was the company she had built through years of hard work.

She had planned it bit by bit since college and poured nearly all the effort of the first half of her life into it. Naturally, Leng Qingqiu valued Lanzi Group immensely. Aside from her four younger sisters and little brother, it was the most important thing in her life.

Jiang Che using Lanzi Group to threaten Leng Qingqiu had struck directly at her weak spot.

Jiang Che rose from his seat and slowly approached Leng Qingqiu.

"Y-You... what are you trying to do?!"

"I-I'm not ready yet. Can you give me a few days?"

Seeing Jiang Che move, Leng Qingqiu thought that her mocking words had completely enraged him.

She was instantly frightened. Her hands instinctively shielded her chest, her face full of wariness. Her voice trembled, and her tone was filled with pleading.

"So, you're agreeing to my request?"

Jiang Che raised a brow, smiling without quite smiling.

Leng Qingqiu lightly pressed her red lips together and remained silent. She wanted to open her mouth and refute him, but she was afraid of completely angering Jiang Che and did not dare say anything.

By now, Leng Qingqiu had begun to piece things together.

Just as Jiang Che had personally admitted, this guy had probably set his sights on her long ago and harbored improper intentions. That was why he had suddenly wanted to invest in Lanzi Group at this critical moment.

He first gave her hope, then kept her hanging, making her lose the chance to seek other financing options. Finally, he used the investment plan to force her into submission completely.

Leng Qingqiu even felt that the guilt she had developed toward Jiang Che over the past two days had all been part of his scheme.

It was precisely because she felt guilty over that idiot Xiao Chen suddenly disrupting things, and because she feared Jiang Che's retaliation, that she had kept waiting for cooperation with Lingxiao Capital rather than seeking financing elsewhere.

Step by step, she had walked into the trap Jiang Che designed, until she finally came alone to Lingxiao Capital like a sheep entering a tiger's den.

But why would Xiao Chen help Jiang Che put on such an act?

Could it be that this guy had been Jiang Che's man from the very beginning?

If that was the case, then everything made sense. No wonder that bastard had barged into the private room without a word back then—it had all been planned long ago!

In that instant, Leng Qingqiu's imagination ran wild. She thought of countless possibilities, and she became even more furious at Xiao Chen, that traitorous bastard, grinding her teeth in hatred.

She had even felt a little appreciation for that guy at first. Was this how he repaid her?

While she was furious, Leng Qingqiu also felt a deep chill sweep through her body. She swallowed nervously.

He had gone to such painstaking lengths, setting up every step just to force her into submission, yet she had noticed nothing beforehand. Could she truly escape the clutches of Jiang Che, this great demon king?

If Jiang Che knew what Leng Qingqiu was thinking, he would surely be both amused and speechless, readily admitting it.

Yes, yes, yes. That traitorous Xiao Chen is my man, an important part of my plan to get you!

[Leng Qingqiu hates Xiao Chen to the bone. Emotion Points +9999...]

[Leng Qingqiu is extremely afraid of you. Emotion Points +3344...]

Hearing the notification chime in his mind, Jiang Che felt utterly baffled.

What had this woman imagined now?

Why did she suddenly hate Xiao Chen to the bone?

Though he did not understand why, Jiang Che did not dwell on it. In any case, this was entirely a good thing for him.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu remain silent, her face filled with hesitation, Jiang Che raised a brow and continued pressing her.

"What, President Leng? Haven't you made up your mind yet?"

"I... I can agree to be your woman."

"But I have three small conditions as well."

Taking a deep breath and suppressing her turbulent emotions, Leng Qingqiu let out a quiet sigh in her heart and finally compromised.

What else could she do now?

Watch helplessly as the years of her hard work were destroyed in an instant?

Leng Qingqiu simply could not do that, so she could only agree to Jiang Che's demand.

Since she had decided to compromise, Leng Qingqiu naturally had to maximize her benefits. After all, she was a business queen and an ice-cold president; naturally, she had to put interests first.

Although she felt incomparably stifled and frustrated inside, Leng Qingqiu had no choice but to accept Jiang Che's extremely unusual "pursuit."

Besides, she had always viewed romance between men and women lightly. She had never even considered finding a boyfriend before. Since she already had a slight favorable impression of this bastard Jiang Che, agreeing to him like this was not impossible.

In any case, boyfriends and such were never important to her.

Only by desperately persuading herself inwardly did Leng Qingqiu force herself to accept the reality before her.

"Oh?"

"What conditions? Let's hear them..."

Jiang Che gestured for Leng Qingqiu to speak, curiosity rising in his heart as well.
