"Of course not!"

"So, did your friend tell you if this guy is any good If he's no good, just forget about it!"

Xu Qinghuan subconsciously replied, "That's not."

"Has your friend discussed this with you" Fu Jiajia's eyes widened, she was really into this kind of topic, "Don't beat around the bush, which friend are you talking about"

"Oh, you don't know him. He was my classmate a long time ago." Xu Qinghuan worried that she had said too much and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, I made an appointment with the person in charge of the Huaye project today. Are you free"

Fu Jiajia smacked her lips, looking a little embarrassed. "No way today. The headquarters sent the supplemental payment for Han Yang, so I have to go there."

It's okay, I'll go myself.

Xu Qinghuan tidied up, printed out the list of third-party companies sent by Fu Yan when from her email, organized it into a folder, then glanced at the time and headed to the agreed location.

The person in charge of Huaye is a middle-aged man. Although he's a bit older, he looks well-maintained and fashionable. He even has a bit of a dialect when he speaks.

"The risk of these third-party loans, we can't all shoulder them, right"

As soon as he opened his mouth, his tone was threatening.

Of course, it was also precisely timed to their three groups' current need for this project.

Although the risks are high, the potential for profit is indeed alluring.

"Mr. Wang, but reaching the amount stated in your company's funding guarantee letter was originally HuaYe's contractual responsibility." Xu Qinghuan smiled and handed over a photocopy of the guarantee letter, speaking carefully, "Of course Shengshi has put forth our utmost sincerity, and we believe that HuaYe also wants to make this project a success. That's why Mr. Chen came up with this solution."

"Hmph." Wang always didn't give her any face, sizing up Xu Qinghuan from head to toe before saying, "Since the final contract wasn't signed, and your Shengshi keeps using the amount on our guarantee letter to publicly and privately mock us, then I think it's best to just forget about it! Fu Group is so big, Huayue isn't good enough for it."

As he was about to leave, Xu Qinghuan hurriedly got up, "Mr. Wang, please stay!"

This time he truly stopped, but intentionally took a few steps forward, cornering Xu Qinghuan completely in the restaurant private room.

"Huh Is there something else"

Xu Qinghuan furrowed her beautiful brows. At his approach, alarm bells went off in her mind. She lowered her head, desperately seeking an opening to escape.

To everyone's surprise, Mr. Wang suddenly grabbed her wrist, the smile on his face turning from disdainful to lecherous. "You told me not to leave just now, and now you're avoiding me What do you mean"

“Let go!” She tugged a few times, but he, the man, wouldn’t budge.

"Still playing the innocent card Fine, I don't think this place is suitable for a business deal. How about we find another location"

As he spoke, he was about to forcibly drag her away.

In a moment of desperation, Xu Qinghuan didn't hesitate. She raised her leg and kicked him hard in the groin —

Wang immediately winced in pain, his face contorting, and then he raised his hand and slapped her hard across the face!

You bitch! I'll kill you!

This slap was a powerful one, delivered with force by a man.

Xu Qinghuan was caught off guard and crashed directly into the wall. Her vision began to blur.

But she knew she was not safe at the moment, so relying on her memory, she tried to walk towards the outside of the room.

Suddenly!

She felt a pair of big hands encircle her from the front!

Instinctively, Xu Qinghuan wanted to struggle, until a cold yet gentle voice came from beside her ear, like a phantom in the mist.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... It's me, I'm here."mmy! Let go of my mommy!" Tuan Tuan was tied up with five flowers, and he cried out in fright at the sight.Fu Jiajia started cursing outright, "Xia Wan'yu, you illegitimate child! You're a maggot in t...
