Chapter 73
Qiu An agreed without blinking, so readily that even Chang Yuqing was surprised.
She couldn't hold back her surprise, and it turned into spit and spit out: "No way, no way, just for someone who has nothing to do with you, you're going to give away all the hard work you've put in preparing for this for so long? How generous?"
Qiu An said nothing, but silently picked up the chicken soup and took two sips.
"Oh, right, it's not an unrelated person. The half-time wrap party caused a lot of uproar, and it ruined all the trending searches my artists bought! What's going on? Are they already in a relationship? It doesn't seem like it."
Qiu An ignored Chang Yuqing's offensive and provocative gaze and responded with silence.
"I'm reminding you, cheating won't work. I'll draft the contract. What if your subordinates and contracted artists are loyal to you and start a new business with you, leaving me with an empty shell? Wouldn't that make me lose a lot?"
Qiu An knew she would say this, but she still said calmly, "Okay."
"Oh my, are you really planning to send me off like this? I never thought that our famous workaholic is actually a lovesick person in private."
"Really?" Qiu An couldn't help but question it out loud. She hadn't expected that the famous playboy in the circle would position herself like this. How shameless.
"Yes." Chang Yuqing admitted without shame, "It can be seen that you and I are the same kind of people, both of us are - the most cruel hunters."
In her mind, Ranlong was drunk by Chang Yuqing, huddled in the corner like a frightened little rabbit, and the scene of her saying to the unsuspecting Ranlong, "Try whatever you want," intertwined with each other.
Qiu An frowned and shook his head gently to cut off the memories.
She demanded, "What do you want?"
Chang Yuqing chuckled and asked back, "Everyone says Miss Qiu is incredibly intelligent, but I don't think she's anything more than that. I've been so straightforward, how could you not have guessed it? Are you hoping for a change of heart by asking just one more question... or are you too embarrassed to say it out loud, waiting for me to bring it to the surface? Do you think you'll be more receptive if I tell you?"
Qiu An held the spoon, and before he knew it, the blue veins on the back of his hand were clearly visible.
Chang Yuqing saw this with her sharp eyes. She put down her chopsticks and stood up. Her skirt swayed as she walked to Qiu An's side. She leaned over and whispered in her ear, "That day, I gave Ranran to you. I wonder if you enjoyed it, President Qiu?"
Qiu An slammed the table and stood up. Chang Yuqing stepped back suddenly and was almost hit in the nose by her.
Qiu An glared at Chang Yuqing angrily and said, "Shut up! Don't confuse me with you!"
"Hey, don't be angry." Chang Yuqing said frivolously, with a playful smile, "You're right, you and I are different. I can be a hunter forever, but you in front of me will degenerate into prey."
As she spoke, she took advantage of her high heels and reached out to lift Qiu An's chin, looking at her with a teasing look in her eyes: "Ran Long is untouchable. You are not that noble, are you? I am not a greedy person. I don't ask for much, just one night. As long as you agree, I will immediately announce to the world and end the soft ban on Ran Long."
Qiu An slapped her disgusting hand away in disgust, and the feeling of nausea churned in his stomach uncontrollably.
But she did not agree, nor did she give an immediate rejection.
Chang Yuqing could tell at a glance that she was hesitating.
It turns out that she would hesitate even with such a simple condition.
A woman who keeps herself clean can actually do this for the prey she hasn't caught yet and for an uncertain future.
What's more, with Qiu An's personality, if he really sacrificed himself for Ran Long, he would keep silent afterwards.
Silently giving without asking for anything in return?
How great.
Chang Yuqing was moved by her and generously added: "Not only that, hasn't Ranlong always misunderstood? Didn't you force her into that situation? As long as you get into my bed, I will personally admit to Ranlong that it was my fault. I will help you clarify, prove it, and personally help you eliminate her misunderstanding."
"No need!" Qiu An said harshly, "Ran Long is very smart. Even if you hide behind the scenes and keep silent, she will know the truth one day. You can never, ever have any contact with her again."
"Ouch! I haven't even started doing what I asked you to do, and you're already negotiating terms with me? Warning me? Oh, besides words, what can you do to warn me?"
As Chang Yuqing spoke, he took a step forward and tried to touch Qiu An again.
Qiu An didn't give her a chance. He was one step faster than her and grabbed her wrist with all his strength.
The force was so strong that it seemed as if it was going to tear Chang Yuqing's hand off alive. The blood stagnated, and the white palm instantly turned bright red, as if it would die in the next second.
Chang Yuqing, who had never changed his naughty nature from beginning to end, finally wavered at this moment.
She couldn't bear the extremely threatening pain and the fear of losing her limbs. Her face turned pale and she pulled her hands away, trying to escape.
A violent emotion was revealed on his usually gentle and cold face. Qiu An looked at Chang Yuqing in a cold voice, as if he were looking at an uncivilized beast:
"I don't have any special abilities, but I have a worthless life."
Chang Yuqing was frightened by her expression. She thought Qiu An was just a herbivore with some tricks. He was not on guard against her and did not bring bodyguards with him.
For some reason, even though she knew Qiu An would not really hurt her, she was still terrified as if her life was threatened.
So...it really won't hurt her?
Why did she look like she had killed someone?
It's just acting, right?
The disadvantage of being well-informed was reflected at this moment. The more Chang Yuqing looked at her, the more she thought of the desperadoes she had seen.
Chang Yuqing didn't dare to gamble, and kept apologizing with a smile: "It's just a small matter, it's just a small matter, why bother with life and death? It's not worth it to risk someone's life for such a small matter, right?"
"Isn't it worth it?"
"It's worth it, it's worth it. I promise you, I won't see Ran Long anymore. Anyway, I'm not interested in her now. Can you let me go first? If your hand is really broken, you will be punished by law."
For someone who is always in bed, losing a hand is equivalent to losing his life, haha.
After getting the promise, Qiu An let her go.
Chang Yuqing rubbed her wrist and took two steps back, until she was where Qiu An couldn't grab her.
But she had forgotten the pain, the scar had healed, and the terrified expression on her face suddenly disappeared, and she put on a vulgar and frivolous smile again: "Miss Qiu, don't think that I will lose interest in you and let you go just because of this. You may not know that if you want to have fun, your tastes can't be monotonous. I've played with violent people like you before."
Qiu An ignored her dirty talk.
They had almost finished talking today, and she needed time to think about how to deal with Chang Yuqing's conditions.
After all, after leaving this private room, she was still alone, while Chang Yuqing had thousands of troops behind her.
So Qiu An wiped her hands with a wet towel, picked up her handbag and prepared to leave, not caring about the food left on the table.
Chang Yuqing couldn't gain any advantage here for the time being, and didn't want to stay in this private room any longer. He said stubbornly, "Are you leaving now? Will you consider my terms?"
"What do you think?"
The two cunning foxes locked eyes, and for a moment, Chang Yuqing realized she was at a disadvantage. She couldn't guess what Qiu An meant.
She was unwilling to give in and wanted to fight back. "I think... that's for sure. You didn't think I'd forgotten what Ranran said about you back then? That you 'used whatever means necessary, even selling your body, to get Director Yuan's role'?"
"That's a misunderstanding."
"Oh? Is it really a misunderstanding? Your dear Ranran, isn't she very smart? I understand. It's embarrassing the first time you do something like this, right? All I ask is that you do something similar again. I don't think it's too difficult for you, do I? Director Yuan's conditions are not as good as mine. If you can make an exception for her, can't you make an exception for me too?"
Qiu An frowned, pushed away Chang Yuqing who was blocking the way, and left the private room without saying a word.
Chang Yuqing hadn't finished playing her cards yet. She didn't intend to let Qiu An go just because he got violent during the fight. She knew that once they left the room, Qiu An wouldn't be able to use force against her again.
Everywhere is her territory.
The beginning of autumn has passed, but the summer heat has not yet dissipated.
The ground was slightly wet; it had rained outside without me noticing.
The rain had stopped by the time Qiu An emerged, leaving her with only the steam from the scorching earth. She was like a gutted fish in a steaming pan beneath a pot lid, her milky white eyes devoid of luster, her loose flesh devoid of elasticity, a plastic knife and fork capable of devouring her whole.
The parking lot is right in front.
The feeling of being cooked became even stronger when I saw Song Song waiting next to a vintage Bentley.
Song Song's appearance seemed like a warning.
She warned Qiu An that Chang Yuqing was no small figure and would not surrender so easily.
Don't think you can get away with clever tricks and hot-headed violence. Rights, interests, fame and fortune all come at a price.
She warned Qiu An that in front of the real superiors, small characters like them would eventually be served on the table and become a dish for people to appreciate and enjoy.
And those people will also tell you that being chosen and being served at the table means they think highly of you and that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you, so don’t miss it.
Sure enough, Chang Yuqing followed out.
She was no longer afraid of Qiu An, and no longer kept an arm's length from her. She put her arm around her shoulders affectionately and asked her:
"Shall we go? Let's go for a drink together? You haven't eaten anything for dinner yet, so you're still hungry, right? Why don't we put aside our identities and goals for now and just chat like ordinary friends? What do you think?"
An ominous premonition came to his mind, and Qiu An closed his eyes.
After all, I underestimated Chang Yuqing.
She knew that one day she would have to face what belonged to her.
She hadn't expected him to show up so soon, and it was brought by the very person she least wanted to face.
She shouldn't have thought of it.
