But she insisted on acting high and mighty, refusing to comply. Since she refused, why should they give her face? Who was she anyway? In the end, she was just a prostitute, slightly more sophisticated than a prostitute, but not quite a prostitute yet…

The lividity in Mr. Zhang's face gradually faded, and he leered at Ji Yao, his vulgarity fully exposed. "Of course, I, Mr. Zhang, am willing to be gentle and chivalrous towards a beautiful woman like you. As long as you are willing to spend a night with me, I am naturally willing to sponsor you. Not just one endorsement, but all the endorsements of my company this year are all yours."

After all, beauties are hard to find, especially one with such a unique personality. What's a few dollars to spend?

"General Manager..." Qiu Yun rushed in immediately after making the call. Upon hearing his shameless words, she was furious. If Ji Yao hadn't held her back, she probably would have already started fighting with General Manager Zhang.

These people are truly shameless, humiliating the general manager like this; they have absolutely no humanity!

"All the endorsements, is that right?" Ji Yao curled her lips in an ambiguous way, her eyes fixed on him calmly, yet strangely giving off a chilling feeling.

Startled by the girl's gaze, Mr. Zhang felt somewhat embarrassed and looked away. He then immediately straightened his back and raised his head, feigning composure, and said, "...Yes."

What's there to be afraid of? She's just a young girl who's only recently entered the workforce. If he gets scared by her like that, wouldn't he lose face when he goes out?

Yes, he can't be afraid!

Ji Yao smiled enigmatically, her gaze cool as she said with a half-smile, "I never imagined I was worth so much."

Is this... a plan to make her sell herself?

Hearing her words, Mr. Zhang thought she had been taken advantage of by him, and his eyes narrowed into slits as he laughed, revealing his lecherous nature. "Of course, for the sake of a beauty, I'm willing to be generous."

After all, as long as she can make him... comfortable, everything else will naturally fall into place!

"That's right, our CEO Zhang has always been very generous to his women."

"That's right. Sister Ji only needs to sleep with President Zhang for one night to solve her immediate problem. This deal is too good to pass up.

"Yeah yeah."

Those people immediately echoed, clearly following this General Manager Zhang's lead.

"Yes, that does sound good." Ji Yao remained calm and composed until all their chatter stopped.

But in reality, her eyes held no warmth, and she said with chilling sarcasm, "I wonder how Mr. Zhang's wife and children would react if they knew about this? Would they be proud of you? Or ashamed of you?"

Such shamelessness is truly...despicable!

"You..." The fat on Mr. Zhang's face trembled with anger, making him look disgusting. "Don't push your luck. Everyone knows that the Ji family is in dire straits. Besides us, who else is willing to invest?"

His wife and children depend on him for survival, so what right do they have to look down on him? They earned this good life through his hard work, so naturally they should be proud of him!

"That's none of your concern!" Ji Yao curled her lips, coldly glancing at President Zhang, whose face had darkened with anger, and calmly said, "My father taught me that a person should know the meaning of the four words: propriety, righteousness, integrity, and shame. If one doesn't even understand the meaning of these four words, then..."

The partners' faces grew increasingly grim, their eyes filled with a desire to strangle Ji Yao on the spot.

But her next words infuriated them even more. With a slight smile, she said, word by word, "What difference is there between you and a beast?"

"..."

Now things are really messed up. Ji Yao's words have offended everyone present. In an instant, everyone's face turned ugly, especially President Zhang, whose eyes were practically spitting fire as he glared at Ji Yao.

He could tell from the first glance that Ji Yao was a tough nut to crack, but he never expected that Ji Yao would be so audacious as to offend them like this. Wasn't she worried that they would retaliate against her afterward?

No, he must have remembered this incident and will definitely get his revenge.

Ji Yao didn't care how unpleasant their expressions were, and pretended not to hear them. She said calmly, "Today, Ji Yao has taken up your time. So, Ji Yao will not bother you again in the future. Thank you for your time."

The implication was that they hoped to never see each other again.

After saying this, Ji Yao nodded slightly to them, then calmly took Qiu Yun's wrist and left.

Mr. Zhang was so angry that he felt a surge of resentment welling up in his chest. If it weren't for the fact that there were other people around, he would have already vomited blood. "Listen to what she just said! How dare she be so arrogant here? She has absolutely no respect for us!"

What does it mean to be no different from a beast? This is clearly a veiled insult. He wants to see how long she can remain so arrogant. The Ji family is currently in dire straits, at its most dangerous moment. If she continues to be so aloof, she will naturally not be able to attract sponsors.

If she can still be as tough as she is now, then he will truly admire her!

As Ji Yao pulled Qiu Yun out, her forehead and hands were covered in a thick layer of cold sweat, especially her hands, which felt sticky and uncomfortable.

For a fleeting moment, she was genuinely worried that those people would detain the general manager and cause her harm.

Thankfully... thankfully, those people were intimidated by the general manager's few words and didn't react for a moment, otherwise they really might not have been able to leave that bar!

"General Manager, they were deliberately humiliating you just now." Qiu Yun said indignantly on Ji Yao's behalf as soon as she got into the car.
