Chapter 204: Chapter 203 Smooth Cooperation (1st Update)

"Hmph, you brought this on yourself, so you deserve whatever happens to you."

Xue Man sneered and asked in a stern voice, "Lu Tianxing, let me ask you, are you sure Black Panther Security Company will cooperate with us and not play us like Lin Hua Security Company did?"

Lu Tianxing swallowed a piece of twice-cooked pork and looked at Xue Man as he said, "Minister Xue, this is a classic case of ’once bitten, twice shy.’ Didn’t you hear me speaking to Cheng Bao? We are going to sign the contract with Black Panther Security Company this afternoon. Are you still worried they might back out?"

"What I mean is, can we trust what Cheng Bao says?"

Xue Man frowned. She was with Bai’s Group and had seen far too many friendships and kinships fall apart in the face of sufficient interests. Who knew if Cheng Bao would suddenly team up with the Zhao Family for profit?"

"Minister Xue, just relax. It might be understandable to doubt others, but there is no reason to doubt Cheng Bao’s words; he doesn’t have the guts to cross me."

"But..."

Lu Tianxing cut off Xue Man’s words, "There’s no ’but.’ Minister Xue, can you just let me eat in peace? I rushed this morning and didn’t even have breakfast, just three big buns, and now I’m so hungry I could die. You do want to starve me to death, don’t you!"

"All you care about is eating, Lu Tianxing. Are you a pig?"

Xue Man was speechless. Three big white buns were almost two meals for her, and after eating three, this guy claimed he hadn’t eaten at all. He was practically a pig.

"If I’m a pig, then you must be the sow."

"Shut up! You’re the pig, a big, lecherous pig. Lu Tianxing, do you believe I would fight you right here, right now?"

"Fight, Minister Xue? Are you sure you can take me? But maybe, if we change the spot, you might be able to beat me?" Lu Tianxing touched his chin and leered mischievously.

Xue Man was taken aback and instinctively asked, "What place?"

"The bed. On the bed, you might be able to beat me and even wipe out a few billion of my ’brothers,’" Lu Tianxing said with a lewd wink and a chuckle.

"You...Go to hell!"

Xue Man was momentarily puzzled by what he meant, but when she saw Lu Tianxing’s lewd smile, she instantly understood and glared fiercely at him. She no longer spoke, realizing she could never outwit this rogue. Instead, she picked up a bowl of rice and began eating furiously, as if she was devouring Lu Tianxing himself.

Watching Xue Man’s actions, a smile flashed across Lu Tianxing’s face. He said nothing further and continued to relish the delicious food.

...

After lunch, Lu Tianxing followed Xue Man to a taxi with a gloomy face. His plan had been to slip away after the meal, but before he could leave, Xue Man stopped him, insisting he come with her to Black Panther Security Company. The reason was solid: he was instrumental in brokering this collaboration, and what would happen if he didn’t show up? If he refused to go, she would tell the chairman that he kissed her.

Because of that statement, he had no way out. If Bai Zhiqing ever found out, only God knew what kind of trouble she could stir up.

An hour later, Lu Tianxing and Xue Man, warmly seen off by Cheng Bao, boarded a black Mercedes, prepared specifically by Black Panther Security Company, and headed for the hotel that had been booked in advance.

Sitting in the Mercedes, Xue Man still felt a sense of unreality, sitting dazed in her seat, stupidly staring at the document bag in her hands. She couldn’t believe how smoothly the cooperation had gone, just as Lu Tianxing had said—so smoothly it was almost unbelievable.

After they had taken a taxi to Black Panther Security Company from Lin Hua Security Company, they received a wildly different reception, extremely warm. During the negotiation, she had prepared herself for a prolonged battle. To her surprise, just after she mentioned the cooperation details and profit sharing, the chairman of Black Panther Security Company, Cheng Bao, agreed without a word, even willing to give up some profits.

During the signing, he had not even looked at the contract terms, signing under the witness of lawyers from both sides like they were kids playacting. It went so smoothly that Xue Man felt a surge of frustration, having mentally rehearsed countless times the tough negotiations she expected to face. The other side had simply agreed to the deal, leaving her feeling as if she were punching cotton.

Sitting next to her, Lu Tianxing, with a deadpan expression, watched Xue Man who had been acting this way since they got into the car, occasionally pinching her cheeks or thighs, wondering if she were dreaming. Her adorable actions made Lu Tianxing itch to pinch her cheeks himself, to tell her this was not a dream.

Of course, that was just a thought. Lu Tianxing believed that if he dared to do so, Xue Man would definitely treat him like a pervert and fight him fiercely.

The Mercedes drove smoothly and, under Lu Tianxing’s direction, arrived at a well-known hotel in Xiangjiang. After getting out of the car and telling the driver to return, he directly dragged Xue Man into the hotel lobby, pulled out his company ID, and collected two room keys from the front desk. They then went up to their rooms.

Meanwhile, at Modu Bai Group headquarters, in the chairman’s office.

Bai Zhiqing sat in her usual place, but unlike other days, she wasn’t working. Instead, she was somewhat distractedly staring at the empty corner where her assistant’s desk was, her gaze somewhat vacant and preoccupied.

"That jerk Lu Tianxing has been in Xiangjiang for several hours. How could he not call to report on the progress of his work? That jerk. When he gets back, I’m definitely going to teach him a lesson, to always prioritize the company," Bai Zhiqing muttered, jabbing a pen viciously into a piece of paper as though it were Lu Tianxing.

In the past, when Lu Tianxing often hovered around her, Bai Zhiqing found him an annoying presence, wishing he would never appear before her eyes again. But when Lu Tianxing truly vanished, she suddenly realized something was missing in her heart, a feeling of unease and an unprecedented loneliness overwhelmed her.

"That jerk must be having a great time in Xiangjiang; with its plethora of beautiful women, beauties from all over the world, he’s probably dazzled and having too much fun to think of home. I must never let him travel for work again..." she grumbled.

"Thump, thump..."

Just as Bai Zhiqing was lost in her chaotic thoughts, a sudden knocking sound echoed.

"Come in!"

Bai Zhiqing’s expression tightened, returning to her usual indifferent demeanor.

Dressed in business attire, the baby-faced beauty Lan Xin, holding a file, walked into the office: "Chairman, there’s a problem with the cooperation in Xiangjiang."
