He's still a troublesome guy he can't touch.
Gong Chengjue took a small sip of coffee, then put down his cup. When it came to patience, he was second to none.
He can go a whole day without saying a word unless it involves Su Ziqing.
Feng Xixuan is someone who can go a whole day without speaking, but when it comes to kittens, he can't even last five minutes.
So, five minutes was the limit. When the five minutes were up, Feng Xixuan saw that Gong Chengjue was determined to make him speak first, so he spoke.
“Conditions,” Feng Xixuan uttered.
Talking to Gong Chengjue about anything else is less practical than discussing terms. Don't think that others don't know what he's up to.
They just want to use the information to hold her hostage, but in Feng Xixuan's mind, Su Ziqing is not someone to be used as a hostage.
Gong Chengjue looked at him and said, "Don't add fuel to the fire regarding my relationship with Ziqing. Of course, marriage is out of the question."
Feng Xixuan shook his head. "Ziqing is an independent person. She's not an object, nor is she a child who can't make her own decisions."
He gave Gong Chengjue a wider range of options, "You can suggest other things, such as business cooperation, market share in Europe, or... other forms of assistance."
Feng Xixuan hinted at this to him.
Their gazes met in the air, and Gong Chengjue frowned slightly, remaining silent.
Seeing his reaction, Feng Xixuan decided to be even more direct and said, "Whether it's the Middle East or the Golden Triangle, I can help you."
Gong Chengjue took a sip of coffee, then gently put it down and said calmly, "I'm a respectable businessman."
“Who isn’t?” Feng Xixuan looked at Gong Chengjue.
Some things weren't explicitly stated, but everyone understood what was being said.
Clearly, Gong Chengjue didn't need such help. He looked at Feng Xixuan and said, "I have no other conditions."
Feng Xixuan chuckled, "Are you sure? Your Gong family elder has been making quite a splash on the international stage lately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Gong Chengjue's expression changed slightly.
Gong Chengjue did not expect Feng Xixuan to say such a thing. So, he had been keeping an eye on the Gong family all along?
"Mr. Feng, you have so much free time? Are you keeping an eye on our Gong family?"
"You're overthinking it. It's just a coincidence that I know. I'm a legitimate businessman, but I also have all sorts of friends around me. What do you think?"
"I am not the head of the Gong family. If other members of the Gong family make mistakes, the head of the family will send people to deal with them." Gong Chengjue did not want to think too much about family matters.
Feng Xixuan hummed in agreement. "That's naturally a matter for your Gong family." It really had nothing to do with him.
"But where is your kill order?" Feng Xixuan picked up his coffee, his expression as calm as if he were talking about the weather.
Gong Chengjue looked at his face.
How much does Feng Xixuan actually know? If you still say it's a coincidence, only a fool would believe it.
Feng Xixuan has been keeping an eye on him all along, hasn't she?
"Does Ziqing know?" Gong Chengjue asked.
Feng Xixuan shook his head. How could he possibly tell Su Ziqing about this? He had always felt that Gong Chengjue and Su Ziqing were not a good match.
Look at the Gong family now, and look at Gong Chengjue now...
Gong Chengjue breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that Su Ziqing was unaware of this, and then said casually, "It's just a small matter, I can handle it."
"Really? How do you plan to resolve this?" Feng Xixuan asked bluntly. "Can you get the kill order to be withdrawn, or can you get the buyer to change their mind?"
Gong Chengjue: "..."
Feng Xixuan seemed to know everything, but he had no intention of interfering.
However, Gong Chengjue was willing to bet that Feng Xixuan couldn't possibly know anything more profound, and that the Gong family wasn't so easily exposed.
"I'll grant a one-month grace period for the kill order." Feng Xixuan looked at Gong Chengjue. "How's that condition?"
Whether Gong Chengjue would die in the end was not his concern.
A person who can't even protect their own life has no right to drag others down.
That's not what Gong Chengjue wants; what he wants is for Feng Xixuan not to marry Su Ziqing!
The negotiations between the two sides reached a stalemate, as what the other side offered and what they could negotiate were clearly not what either side wanted.
Silence, a long silence.
Feng Xixuan was very patient, and Gong Chengjue was even more patient.
Luo Jinhan was extremely anxious, feeling that Gong Chengjue's agreement to Feng Xixuan's conditions was a good deal.
Feng Xixuan's identity is very useful abroad, and his family has a deep and influential background.
The fact that the kill order can be given a one-month grace period is something that ordinary people cannot do.
To be honest, this month may not seem long, but there are a lot of things that can be done.
At least for the next month, Gong Chengjue's safety can be guaranteed, and there's no need to worry about which places he can't go.
"Mr. Gong..." Luo Jinhan saw that Gong Chengjue was not responding for a long time and wanted to persuade him.
Gong Chengjue glanced at him.
Luo Jinhan could only shut up. Well, as a special assistant, he really couldn't interfere with Mr. Gong's decisions.
Feng Xixuan was fiddling with his Swiss Army knife again, his eyelids lowered, and he said softly, "This month is enough for you to do a lot of things."
Luo Jinhan nodded inwardly, "Yes, yes."
However, Gong Chengjue remained expressionless, his heart unmoved.
“If you die, nothing that follows will matter,” Feng Xixuan said again.
Luo Jinhan, who was nodding wildly in his heart, froze upon hearing this. He glanced at Feng Xixuan, thinking, "Mr. Feng is cursing Mr. Gong."
Or are you looking down on Mr. Gong? Ha! Is Mr. Gong really that weak?
Feng Xixuan, as if she could see Luo Jinhan's furtive glances, looked at him and said, "You're someone he trusts a lot, right? When he's not acting rationally, shouldn't you, as his special assistant, try to persuade him?"
"Show him out." Gong Chengjue felt that he had nothing more to say to Feng Xixuan.
He asked for a brief discussion, but Feng Xixuan refused, so they decided not to talk about it.
He didn't want to talk about any other reasons that seemed important. Thank you!
Feng Xixuan narrowed his eyes slightly. "Are you sure?" We're not going to talk anymore?
"It's just news from one person. Perhaps it's not that important to Mr. Feng. I'm overthinking it," Gong Chengjue said calmly.
At this point, the initiative returned to Gong Chengjue.
In fact, from the moment Feng Xixuan came to him, the initiative had always been in Gong Chengjue's hands, but Feng Xixuan thought he could hold the initiative.
Looking back, Feng Xixuan felt that Gong Chengjue was nothing special.
But he forgot that his previous interactions with Gong Chengjue were all because of Su Ziqing.
Because of Su Ziqing's existence, and because of Feng Xixuan's importance to Su Ziqing, Gong Chengjue cannot go too far with Feng Xixuan.
Therefore, even if it's just an argument or a disagreement, Gong Chengjue has to back down.
However, things are different now.
Feng Xixuan suddenly felt that Gong Chengjue wasn't so bad after all.
"Tell me the news, and I'll decide." Feng Xixuan looked at Gong Chengjue. "Actually, have you ever thought that if I can find her, my wedding bride can be changed?"
How exciting is this news?
