The two arrived at a high-end coffee shop on a nearby street.
"What, is Mr. He planning to use the same old trick again?"
Xiao Wanjun raised her eyes, her voice extremely cold and full of sarcasm.
When it comes to someone like He Xiangdi, he has no choice but to assume the worst about him.
He Xiangdi was like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, waiting for its chance to strike, its tongue flicking out.
No matter how respectable someone may appear on the outside, they are ruthless and cold-blooded on the inside, and will stop at nothing to satisfy their own selfish desires.
He Xiangdi adjusted his glasses, looked at Xiao Wanjun, his phoenix eyes devoid of any warmth, and said coldly, "Xiao Wanjun, I'll give you one more chance."
"I will forgive and forget about your breakup with Jiang Feng, and Oriental Entertainment will provide you with even more abundant resources than before."
He did not want to hurt Jiang Feng unless absolutely necessary.
Therefore, he was willing to break his own principles and give Xiao Wanjun another chance.
If Xiao Wanjun agrees, he will keep his promise and even cancel that ridiculous bet.
He wanted to obtain Jiang Feng cleanly.
Xiao Wanjun's eyes were filled with sarcasm, and she sneered, "Then I really have to thank President He for being so magnanimous, doing something like this while still putting on such a haughty attitude."
"Do you think Jiang Feng would still pay attention to you if he knew you were this kind of person?"
I'm afraid I'd rather stay as far away from you as possible, and never see you again in my entire life...
"You won't tell him—" He Xiangdi suddenly interrupted him, a cold glint flashing in her phoenix eyes behind her glasses, a cold smile playing on her lips: "If you were going to tell him, you would have told him from the very beginning."
He Xiangdi's cold eyes stared straight at Xiao Wanjun, his icy words striking like sharp swords.
"Xiao Wanjun, you dare to gamble with me, but you wouldn't dare gamble with Jiang Feng."
Even if Xiao Wanjun had a thousand or ten thousand reasons, she would not be honest with Jiang Feng under the guise of doing what was best for him.
But there is only one fundamental reason.
He doesn't trust Jiang Feng.
I don't believe Jiang Feng would completely turn against He Xiangdi for his sake.
I don't believe Jiang Feng would risk Jiang Sheng Construction to become an enemy of Oriental Entertainment.
Therefore, Xiao Wanjun chose to deceive, which is the most unforgivable behavior in a romantic relationship.
Jiang Feng should have been his trump card for victory, but he discarded it from the very beginning.
Even if he tells Jiang Feng now, Jiang Feng won't trust him as much as he did at the beginning.
Once deception is committed, there is no going back.
There's no other way but to go down this path to the bitter end.
With her deepest secret thoughts exposed, Xiao Wanjun's expression instantly turned extremely ugly, her thin lips pressed into a straight line, and her chest heaving violently.
He Xiangdi was right. Even if Jiang Feng handed him the villa keys, he wouldn't dare to tell him the truth.
He was afraid.
They were afraid that if Jiang Feng found out, he would compromise, back down, and abandon Jiang Sheng Construction...
Therefore, he dared not gamble.
The longer he stayed, the more he appreciated Jiang Feng's kindness, and the less he dared to gamble.
By now, he... simply can't afford to lose anymore.
He Xiangdi raised the corners of her mouth, lowered her eyes to look at him disdainfully, and softened her tone, her words as subtly alluring as a siren: "Break up with Jiang Feng, while he doesn't know about your deception, so you can leave a good impression on him."
"If you don't want to stay at Oriental Entertainment, I can let you go to another entertainment company."
"If you don't want to stay in the entertainment industry, I can give you 300 million yuan, enough for you to live a life of comfort."
"Breaking up now is the best choice for Jiang Feng, for you, and for me."
Xiao Wanjun lowered her head, her expression unreadable, and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he looked up at He Xiangdi and said with a smile, "The conditions you offered... are indeed very tempting."
...
"Cold medicine, did He Xiangdi go to see that beautiful woman?"
Shi Xi signed the contract smoothly, stood up, and stretched her sore wrists.
The air is filled with a faint scent of wood and tea, but it's not very noticeable; you can't smell it unless you get very close.
Before leaving, Xiao Wanjun sprayed him with perfume again, using the same method as last time.
She even kissed him for a long time.
[Yes] 999 answers.
He Xiangdi offered 300 million to make him break up with you.
"Tsk."
Shi Xi pushed open the office door, pressed the elevator button, and planned to go home after get off work.
I thought to myself, "The villains in this little world are really rich; they've given away hundreds of millions."
The plot goes like this: When He Xiangdi realized that force wouldn't work, he resorted to a conciliatory approach.
Give Xiao Wanjun a breakup fee of 300 million yuan to make him break up with Jiang Feng.
After all, He Xiangdi initially still cared about their brotherhood and didn't want to break ties with Jiang Feng and make things too ugly.
He Xiangdi stated that as long as Xiao Wanjun was willing to break up with Jiang Feng and become his lover, he would cancel the bet and use all the resources of Oriental Entertainment to promote him.
He Xiangdi's tactics were indeed clever; he first gave a harsh lesson and then offered a sweet treat. If it were someone else, they would probably have agreed without hesitation.
"Shi Xi, I have a question... I want to ask you," 999 said hesitantly.
Shi Xi raised an eyebrow. "Just say it, why be so polite?"
Why is Xiao Wanjun unwilling to tell you what He Xiangdi did? 999's neutral electronic voice carried a hint of confusion.
It is a pre-programmed system that does not understand such complex human emotions.
(Except for slacking off at work)
Just then, the elevator arrived at the 34th floor, and Shi Xi stepped into the elevator car.
Pressing the button for the basement level, Shi Xi popped an orange-flavored hard candy into her mouth and calmly explained 999's question.
"Actually, it's very simple. The answer was given at the very beginning of the story. Xiao Wanjun was only with me out of a moment of emotion, but he mistakenly thought it was love at first sight."
But subconscious choices don't lie.
"He outwardly acknowledges our relationship and takes the initiative to get close to me, but subconsciously he divides me into two distinct individuals."
He didn't want to owe me this favor, so naturally he wouldn't tell me.
Shi Xi crushed the candy with her teeth, making a crunching sound, swallowed the candy, and continued:
More importantly—
He doesn't believe me, he doesn't believe I would fall out with He Xiangdi for him, and he certainly doesn't believe I would use Jiang Sheng Construction to protect him.
Because they don't believe it, they're too lazy to even try.
How will we know the result if we don't try?
[So that's how it is!] 999 suddenly realized.
Shi Xi opened the car door, but suddenly someone appeared behind her.
With his arm around Jiang's shoulder, Lin Zeran smiled and said, "Brother Jiang, what a coincidence to run into you here! Shall we go grab some late-night snacks? We haven't seen each other in ages."
"How dare you!" Shi Xi slapped his hand away and asked, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night?"
Lin Zeran glanced at his hand, which Shi Xi had just slapped away, his face still showing that obedient and docile expression: "I finished shooting a magazine in the building next door, and when I saw the lights on on Jiang Ge's floor, I ran over."
"I didn't even eat dinner because of that magazine shoot..."
As he finished speaking, his stomach rumbled as if to suit the occasion.
It looks like he really didn't eat dinner.
"Get in the car, I'll take you to eat," Shi Xi said to Lin Zeran as she got into the car.
"Thank you, Brother Jiang! I knew you wouldn't abandon me!" Lin Zeran said happily, opened the car door, and sat directly in the passenger seat.
