When Xiaohua heard him say this, she really wanted to curse him out. "Go to hell! Who is the one who is not sincere in their cooperation?"
He teased her repeatedly.
Although she had cursed Xu Xiangqian eight hundred times in her heart, she still pretended to be kind on the surface.
With a grin, he asked, "So, Mr. Xu, have you now felt whether my sincerity in cooperating is deep enough?"
Xu Xiangqian patted her shoulder: "That's enough."
"If Mr. Xu thinks it's enough, then it's enough. Let's drink to our pleasant cooperation!"
Xiao Hua and He Yu stood up and clinked their glasses with Xu Xiangqian and Yin Lu's.
After they finished their drinks, they smiled at each other, finally having received the money.
"I heard that President Ye has another child. He's so young to have a child. It seems he got married very early!"
Xu Xiangqian pretended to be chatting casually out of boredom.
"Ah, yes, there was a girl who was over three years old this year. She got married quite early, but she also got divorced early."
Xiao Hua joked to herself.
"Divorced? What was the reason for the divorce?" Xu Xiangqian asked, feigning indifference.
"Hey, these are all my private matters, there's no need to bring them up in public. They're things that can't be discussed openly. If a couple can't make it work, they can just get a divorce!"
Xu Xiangqian chuckled: "President Ye is quite generous at the dinner table, but I didn't expect him to be so generous in his private life as well. It's rare to see someone so quick to divorce!"
In this era, women could take pesticides, hang themselves, drown themselves, or slit their own throats, but they couldn't ask men for a divorce. So when Xu Xiangqian learned that Xiaohua had divorced, he was quite surprised.
Xiaohua actually hated it when others insisted on talking about her private affairs, but she had no choice. After all, the other woman was her sugar daddy, and if her sugar daddy insisted on talking about it, she had no choice but to talk about it. She was willing to use anything to achieve success.
She could only pretend to be good-natured and laugh it off, saying, "I think you're making a fuss over nothing, Mr. Xu. It's just a divorce, what's so surprising about it? If you can't make it work, you can't force two people to stay together. Wouldn't that just make both of you suffer? A divorce would be a relief for everyone!"
"Don't you still have a child? Isn't it pitiful for a child to lose their complete family?"
Xu Xiangqian disagreed with Xiaohua's words, feeling that this was not the behavior of a good woman.
Xiaohua felt like she was going to vomit because of this strong patriarchal mentality; she hated being around this kind of person.
"Oh, how could my child be pitiful? Her father and I are just divorced, not dead. She still has a loving father and mother. She's not pitiful at all. I had a dinner party tonight and couldn't leave, so her father picked her up from kindergarten."
Although Xiaohua explained to him calmly, she still managed to give him a piece of her mind, leaving Xu Xiangqian somewhat speechless.
"It is ultimately Mr. Ye's private matter, so of course I cannot discuss it."
Xiao Hua thought to herself, "You can't talk about this, but you've talked about so much anyway. You know it's my private matter, yet you keep asking all sorts of questions."
Is someone who insists on getting to the bottom of things even a man? He comes across as more like a shrew from the streets, always wanting to know everything that's going on in someone's life. Does he have trouble sleeping at night if he doesn't find out the details?
Xu Xiangqian has a high alcohol tolerance. The child and He Yu both tried to get him drunk, but they were both nearly drunk while Xu Xiangqian showed no signs of being intoxicated.
Finally, Xiaohua couldn't take it anymore and begged for mercy, saying, "Mr. Xu, we can't drink anymore. Let's eat some food. You can't keep forcing us to drink. I really can't drink anymore."
Xu Xiangqian looked at Xiaohua's pleading posture and sneered, "President Ye, you're lucky you met me. If you met any other man, you'd be like this. Not only would they not sign the contract with you, they'd strip you of your clothes."
Xiaohua's expression changed slightly after hearing this, but she quickly put on a smiling face again.
"Oh, who can disagree? Luckily, I'm fortunate to have met a gentleman like you, Mr. Xu."
"Mr. Ye, you don't need to flatter me. I, Xu, have never liked doing things like prostitution or theft. But Mr. Ye, I also want to give you a piece of advice: you can't get very far in this circle by using women."
Female beauty?
Xiao Hua was stunned. "Holy crap," she thought, "which of his dog eyes could have guessed that I was doing business with women?"
Was she dressed provocatively, behaving frivolously, or was she giving her some kind of suggestive message?
It's because he himself is dishonest; he sees everyone as someone who's selling themselves.
Xiao Hua was about to unleash a torrent of profanities when He Yu pulled her from behind, signaling her to hold back.
"I think you just like to joke around, Mr. Xu, but sometimes you go a little too far with your jokes."
Xiaohua was still unhappy, and she expressed it verbally, no longer willing to tolerate it.
Xu Xiangqian chuckled lightly: "Whether my joke went too far or not, President Ye knows perfectly well, but I want to tell President Ye that when doing business with me, Xu, women are of no use whatsoever!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaohua slammed her wine glass heavily on the table.
"Since Mr. Xu has made things clear, I would also like to say something to him: I, Ye Xiaohua, do business as I please. If someone wants to sleep with me to get business, then I don't deign to cooperate with such a person."
Please, Mr. Xu, don't make such ridiculous jokes about me in the future. If you really look down on me as a woman, then you don't have to cooperate. The contract is right here; you can tear it up now and you won't need to ask the finance department to make the payment tomorrow.
But you can't look down on me, cooperate with me, and then insult me with these unpleasant words. I don't think that's the behavior of a gentleman, Mr. Xu!
"Xiaohua," He Yu quickly pulled her aside, signaling her to hold back and not say any more.
Xiao Hua glanced at He Yu, somewhat angrily: "He Yu, since President Xu looks down on us, there's no need for us to rush over and let him laugh at and trample on us. Let's go!"
As he spoke, he tried to pull He Yu away, leaving the documents on the table behind. It was obvious that if He Yu didn't want to cooperate, he could tear up the documents right now, and everything they had discussed and signed would be null and void.
I, Ye Xiaohua, don't necessarily have to cooperate with you, nor do I necessarily have to beg you to cooperate with me. You can't keep toying with me like this, insulting and trampling on me.
Xu Xiangqian was surprised to learn that Ye Xiaohua had such a bad temper. After all, this wasn't their first time eating together; they had eaten this kind of meal several times before. In the past, Ye Xiaohua had always been incredibly subservient to him, even fawning over him, flattering and fawning over him. He never expected her to have such a bad temper this time, which made him think too highly of her.
