"No particular purpose, just browsing." Gu Xijue maintained his fake smile.

"Stop pretending." Tang Yue curled her lip in disdain. "We haven't been in touch for ages while we were abroad, and I've only been back in China for a short time before we started contacting each other again. And the first thing she asked for was this project proposal. Anyone would think something's fishy."

Seeing that Tang Yue was about to see through him, Gu Xijue did not intend to hide anything: "Miss Tang, I think it would be more beneficial for you to obey me than to disobey me, after all, not everyone can bear the consequences of my anger."

Tang Yue pursed her lips, and her expression changed.

At first, while she was abroad, she didn't know what kind of person Gu Xijue was.

I only knew that Gu Xijue was renowned in the academic world abroad, until that day when I accidentally heard about Gu Xijue's success in the business world.

Gu Xijue's rapid rise in the business world was not due to his exceptional talent, but rather to his ruthlessness and willingness to pay any price to achieve his goals.

Only then can one gain a foothold in the business world.

Tang Yue hadn't had much interaction with him before, but she knew how capable he was: "So, I absolutely have to give you this project proposal?"

“Even if you don’t give me this project proposal, I have a thousand ways to achieve my goal.”

Seeing that Tang Yue still wouldn't budge, Gu Xijue slowly leaned closer to her and whispered in her ear, "However, if you obey me, you'll be less guilty than others and won't be as sad."

Tang Yue trembled, her pupils shrinking as she looked at him: "What do you mean? What are you going to do?"
