In the VIP lounge of the Minghuang Hotel, Hu Liansheng and Xia Zhi finally met the CEO in person.
Sang Qing wore an expensive sarong and gold jewelry, and even indoors she did not take off her sunglasses.
Even with sunglasses on, her noble and beautiful face is still clearly visible.
Hu Liansheng could only swallow his saliva inwardly. He knew that such a beauty from the clouds could only be admired from afar, and that he, a mere toad, could not touch her.
Besides, he wouldn't dare.
The woman was surrounded by bodyguards in black, and next to her sat a middle-aged man also wearing sunglasses. Judging from his demeanor and bearing, Hu Liansheng felt he looked familiar...
"Manager Hu," Nie Xin said, arms crossed, sitting upright, her voice booming, "What are you looking at, Manager Hu? Is there something on my face?"
"Oh no, no!" Hu Liansheng quickly said with a fawning smile, "It's just that you... look a bit familiar, like I've seen you somewhere before... Oh right, right, there was a movie star who you really look like!"
“Really?” Nie Xin spoke clearly, “Manager Hu, do you think it’s possible that I’m taller and more handsome than that movie star?”
“That’s right, that’s right!” Hu Liansheng quickly replied.
"Ahem!" Sang Qing cleared her throat and proudly raised her chin.
Nie Xin immediately realized what was happening and respectfully introduced, "This is our group's CEO, Ms. Sunny! I am her translator."
"Oh, Miss Sang... Miss Sang!" Hu Liansheng stood up and tried to shake hands, but Sang Qing picked up a cup of herbal tea from the table and drank it as if she couldn't see him.
Hu Liansheng's hand remained awkwardly suspended in mid-air.
Nie Xin rolled her eyes inwardly, disgusted by Hu Liansheng, while cursing Huo Junyu: What kind of good nephew is this? Did he deliberately give him this kind of job?!
Sang Qing smiled and immediately launched into a fluent speech in English and local Southeast Asian dialect, which shocked Hu Liansheng and Xia Zhi.
"What Sunny just said is the general outline of this cooperation plan." Nie Xin chuckled and pushed a contract to Hu Liansheng. "If Manager Hu has no problems after reviewing it, please sign it!"
Hu Liansheng actually read it through, and the terms in the contract were very favorable, even mentioning that a house would be given to him as a gift.
Xia Zhi was overjoyed when she saw the words "gift of a house".
She had previously said it was a scam company and warned Hu Liansheng to be careful.
But now, she's even more proactive than Hu Liansheng.
"Ha, didn't you not trust them?" Hu Liansheng rolled his eyes, clutching the contract in his hand. "How about now? They really are a huge conglomerate; the contract is so detailed that even a single punctuation mark is meticulously crafted!"
"Okay, you're something else!" Xia Zhi said against her will. "So hurry up and sign it! Don't forget about my parents' house!"
Hu Liansheng snorted coldly, took the contract, and went to the table next to him, clearly not wanting Xia Zhi to get close.
Just as his pen was about to touch the paper, Nie Xin called out to him, "Manager Hu, wait a minute."
"Uh, what's wrong?"
“Our CEO has a few questions that he needs definitive answers to,” Nie Xin said with a smile. “We’ll be partners soon, so there shouldn’t be anything we’re hiding, right?”
Hu Liansheng rolled his eyes. Xia Zhi glanced at him and whispered, "Since we've run into such a rare buyer, let's be honest with them! Don't let the duck that's already in our mouths fly away..."
Nie Xin pretended to listen to Sang Qing for a long time, then bowed respectfully before turning around and walking to Hu Liansheng and Xia Zhi.
"Manager Hu, Ms. Xia, one of our CEO's questions is, isn't this transaction illegal?"
"this……"
"Manager Hu, there's no need to make things difficult," Nie Xin said with a smile. "There are many illegal businesses in Southeast Asia that are still thriving! So... as long as it's a good business, it's fine!"
"That's definitely great!" Hu Liansheng perked up. "Didn't I tell you guys that this land belongs to the Lu family? It was originally intended for building a film studio, but I think it's more suitable to build a residential area here. We can make a lot of money selling it in the future!"
"What, the Lu family didn't adopt your plan?"
"Hey, that good-for-nothing Lu Lishan, all he does is fight and kill and revolve around his wife. He doesn't know anything about business!"
Hu Liansheng's words were full of contempt, which Nie Xin found very displeasing.
"So, Manager Hu stole the land?"
"This... I don't think it counts." Hu Liansheng's lips were dry. "Brother, the film studio is such a large area. If I take a piece of land and build a house without anyone noticing, would that be considered stealing?"
"Besides, this is my way of making money! Who in this world doesn't want to make money? This piece of land isn't even on the film studio's planning map! Maybe Lu Lishan has even forgotten about it. What's wrong with me using it?"
"Ha, but I heard that this land was originally reserved by President Lu, who planned to build a welfare home."
Nie Xin looked up at him, and even through the sunglasses, Hu Liansheng could feel the powerful yet cold aura emanating from this man.
He shrank back and admitted, "Yes... I know about this, but what's the point of building an orphanage? It doesn't make money, it just puts money in there. Only a fool like Lu Lishan would do something like this!"
"Um... sir, does the CEO have any questions?" Xia Zhi asked impatiently, having already laid out the contract and prepared the pen. "If there are no other questions, let's sign the contract quickly!"
"Yes, yes!" Hu Liansheng glanced at his watch and laughed. "I checked the almanac before I left home today. The auspicious time today is between 1 and 3 pm, which is exactly the time! Let's take advantage of this good time and sign the contract quickly!"
"Oh, Manager Hu, you even check the almanac before going out?"
At this moment, the noblewoman wearing a sarong slowly rose and raised her left hand.
Seeing this, Nie Xin darted over, bent down, and offered her right hand.
Sang Qing gracefully placed her left hand on his right, swaying her hips as she slowly walked towards him, instantly giving off the feeling of an empress dowager on a pilgrimage.
Hu Liansheng and Xia Zhi were both stunned. So this CEO... she can speak Chinese?
"I understood everything you just said." Sang Qing took off half of her sunglasses, blinked her big eyes, and smiled playfully. "Did Manager Hu check the almanac before going out?"
"Ah...yes!" Hu Liansheng chuckled foolishly, "I've seen it, I've seen it!"
"Did Manager Hu check whether today is a suitable day for him to go to jail?"
"What?"
Sang Qing and Nie Xin stopped pretending and simultaneously removed their sunglasses, looking at Hu Liansheng with sharp eyes and a half-smile.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Hu, it seems we cannot cooperate!"
What does this mean?
No sooner had Hu Liansheng finished speaking than a commotion of footsteps was heard outside.
The door clicked, and several policemen strode in.
“Hu Liansheng?” one of the policemen whispered, “You are suspected of embezzling company resources, illegally profiting, and fraud… Come with us now!”
