Chapter 1020 - Chapter 1020 Chapter 1020 Let Her Spend the Night with You

Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Let Her Spend the Night with You Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Let Her Spend the Night with You However, Shen Chi understood Bai Man’s words better than anyone; he certainly had everything figured out.

“Mr. Shen…” The voice on the other end was aggrieved, teeth clenched.

“I have another meeting, can’t talk right now,” Shen Chi said. “If I have time later, we could meet up.”

After finishing his words, Shen Chi hung up the phone.

But, upon hearing his last sentence, a dim flame of hope was rekindled in Bai Man’s downcast eyes.

Meet up if there is time later?

She bit her lip. Was he serious?

Yes, he must have been. Listening to his tone, it wasn’t that he disagreed, but rather there was some resistance from the entire board of directors, so he was helpless.

So, did he still want to cooperate with the Bai Family?

Fine, if it came down to it, she could just revise the proposal again, and give as much profit as possible to Shen’s.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Chi walked back from the window and stood in front of his desk.

Xiao Mo, seeing that he had finished his call, approached and handed the contract in his hand to Shen Chi.

“Mr. Shen, it’s completed.”

“Hmm, let me have a look,” he said.

After saying that, Shen Chi flipped open the contract Xiao Mo had prepared, starting with the first page.

At a cursory glance, he knew where the key points were and went straight to review them. There were a few areas, it must be said, where his legal expertise was evident; at first glance, one could get entangled in them.

But, a focused consideration revealed that there were loopholes that could be exploited.

“The contract is well done,” Shen Chi praised.

“It’s part of the job, as it should be.”

“Hmm, leave the contract with me. I’ll look over it again and let you know if anything needs to be changed.”

“Mr. Shen, clause eight, subsection (2) states that violation will result in substantial damages; clause thirteen, subsection (5) states that violation will result in legal issues, potentially leading to imprisonment; clause seventeen, subsection (1) states that violation will result in the freezing of all assets…”

Xiao Mo explained each clause to Shen Chi one by one. Coming from his own hands, he had all the details committed to memory.

“The handiwork of the chief secretary is truly distinct,” Shen Chi said with a rising arc at the corner of his lips.

In Shen Group’s contracts, Xiao Mo was not usually the one to draft them personally; but when Xiao Mo did take part, Shen Group was sure to come out on top without a loss.

“You overpraise me, Mr. Shen. It would be enough if you could speak to me a bit more politely.”

“Okay, you can roll out,” Shen Chi said, holding the contract and giving him a cold glance.

“…” Xiao Mo’s mouth twitched.

He had never seen anyone so quick to kick someone to the curb after using them…

Xiao Mo shrugged his shoulders and left the president’s office.

Shen Chi sat in his chair and carefully read through the contract from beginning to end, especially the parts that Xiao Mo had pointed out. He considered every detail.

Indeed, the traps were set very cleverly. As an old hand in the business world, if it hadn’t been for Xiao Mo mentioning it, he might not have noticed at all.

Shen Chi was very satisfied with the contract and set it on his desk after finishing.

Back in his office, Xiao Mo stood alone by the window, frowning in deep thought.

Recently, Bai Man seemed to be catering more to Shen Chi’s preferences, either looking for business benefits or thinking of getting back into Shen Chi’s life.

The real question was what Shen Chi was thinking. Was it simply revenge for the indifference the Bai Family had shown five years ago?

Xiao Mo shook his head, once again unable to fathom Shen Chi’s thoughts.

But retaliation was certain, as Shen Chi was the type to hold grudges.

In those days, Shen Chi, as usual, attended various parties, banquets, and gatherings, and of course, he brought different female companions to each. Rumors started to circulate within the circle that Mr. Shen had changed his ways.

Naturally, no one had seen Mrs. Shen, which further solidified the rumors of her infidelity.

People were confounded; how could Mrs. Shen cheat on such an outstanding man like Mr. Shen? It was outrageous and enraging to both gods and men!

Out of respect for Shen Chi’s dignity and authority, no one dared mention it in front of him; they only whispered among themselves.

One day, within a bar, Shen Chi was engaged in lively conversation with several men and women.

“Mr. Shen, let’s play dice, five thousand a round, are you in?” someone suggested.

“Five thousand? Too little, let’s start at ten thousand,” Shen Chi said.

“Mr. Shen, as you know, we can’t compare to you. How about this, what do you think of my girlfriend? Isn’t she pretty? If I lose, I’ll pay half the money and let her spend the night with you, sound good?” the man said, lifting his girlfriend’s chin.

“Stop it!” his girlfriend immediately protested in mock annoyance.

Shen Chi didn’t even look and simply replied, “Fine by me.”

“Alright, it’s settled then, come on, bring over the dice.”

The men started playing, and the private room became extremely lively, filled with chatter and music that was incessant.

They all thought Shen Chi would only come out to play occasionally, being busy with work most of the time, and it was rumored that Shen Chi was not interested in women, which made them bold enough to gamble with him.

They just hoped to win some money from Shen Chi, but after several rounds, Shen Chi kept winning.

The others began to panic as they lost, desperately throwing in more money.

Soon, the money on the table was depleted in rounds, leaving some with nothing but their underwear.

It was already past midnight, and although the nightlife was just beginning, the group started to suggest, “Mr. Shen, are you tired? We’ve already booked rooms.”

Shen Chi took a drag of his cigarette and said indifferently, “Alright, let’s call it a night then.”

“Ah, good!” Their faces immediately lit up with relief, glad they could lose a bit less money.

“Wait, what about your girlfriend?” Shen Chi asked.

He glanced at the woman for the first time; she was… truly unattractive, with a v-shaped face and garish makeup.

“Mr. Shen, a bet is a bet. I’ll let her accompany you for the night, you’ll be satisfied,” that man said. He came closer to Shen Chi, whispering in his ear, “She knows all kinds of positions and is very wet, if you know what I mean.”

Shen Chi looked at him with a meaningful gaze and nodded, “Oh, then let her come, I’ll pay the tip as agreed.”

“Rest assured, Mr. Shen, she’ll satisfy you,” the man promised.

After speaking, the man whispered a few words to the woman, who acted coy, playing hard to get.

In reality, she wasn’t reluctant at all. Shen Chi was richer and more handsome than her boyfriend. She had been watching the dice game and had hoped her boyfriend would lose.

Soon after, everyone at the bar dispersed.

Shen Chi had drunk quite a bit and didn’t return to the Waterside Pavilion, but went straight to a hotel next to the bar, and the woman actually followed him as if she mattered.

She initially wanted to approach Shen Chi with an embrace, but after he gave her a cold glare, she quickly retreated.

He hadn’t been so terrifying in the bar, but now he seemed particularly cold and aloof.

Shen Chi knew the moment he left the bar that paparazzi were already “click-click” snapping photos.

However, as he entered the hotel, a figure rushed over from the side.

“Thud thud thud,” the sharp sound of high heels clacked against the floor.
