Chapter 139 Not even a shield
Bo Siye realized that he had underestimated Han Xi and overestimated himself. He thought that she had long given up on Shen Jiheng and that there would never be a day when they would get back together.
However, Shen Jiheng's current behavior clearly shows that he has already won her over.
With Shen Jiheng stating that he wouldn't make things difficult for him anymore, then they really are...
Bo Siye truly hates me!
All these years of being by Han Xi's side have failed to spark any romance.
Their relationship continued to deepen, but they just couldn't become lovers.
If Han Xi were to return to his side, all his previous efforts would have been in vain.
Bo Siye suppressed his anger and changed the subject, getting back to the main topic.
"Your proposal of three times is completely beyond the company's budget. How much can you offer?"
"If you don't have the ability, why bother taking it on?"
Shen Jiheng continued to make things difficult for him, determined not to make him feel good.
Bo Siye said, "You've broken this balance. We had already agreed on a price, but now you're transferring it to me at a high price in this way. You're just taking advantage of my misfortune."
Shen Jiheng nodded; his description was correct, that was indeed the original plan.
“But I don’t plan to lower the price. If you can afford it, then buy it back. If not, then I’ll have to sell it to someone else. You’ve been waiting for this land for more than half a year, so you should know how sought-after it is.”
Bo Siye clenched his fists secretly, really wanting to beat this person to death; this was clearly a deliberate attempt to embarrass him.
He stood up and said, "In that case, there's no need for us to continue talking. I will tell Han Xi about the demands you made."
Upon hearing this, Shen Jiheng stood up angrily and rebuked, "What, are you going to play the victim again and let her criticize me?"
Bo Siye glanced at him but didn't reply. Since Shen Jiheng still cared so much about Han Xi, he could only make good use of him.
Seeing that Bo Siye was about to leave, Shen Jiheng reached out and stopped him.
"I'm warning you, if you go and gossip about Han Xi, I'll make you regret it."
"Don't be in such a hurry. I just wanted to show her what you've done. It's a pity that all her efforts have been in vain."
Shen Jiheng's pupils contracted slightly, and he stared at him with sharp eyes.
Bo Siye's current understanding is that Han Xi was willing to sacrifice herself for him yesterday because she was willing to submit to him.
Having achieved the effect he wanted, Bo Siye added, "I just wonder what Han Xi will think if she finds out that you've made an exorbitant demand and put me in a difficult position."
"Bo Siyue, you really are useless. You have no ability yourself, so you can only use women as a shield."
"It's better than you not even having a shield."
"......"
It's utterly despicable. Shen Jiheng really used all his self-cultivation to restrain himself from fighting Bo Siye. Otherwise, he wouldn't have let him leave here alive today.
Once a person develops feelings, they are easily vulnerable to exploitation, and this powerful Shen Jiheng was no exception.
Bo Siye was simply using this to his advantage.
Shen Jiheng took a deep breath and nodded: "You really have ability, you've made me look at you in a new light."
Bo Siye, who always appeared in front of everyone as a refined gentleman, was actually a cunning and treacherous person in private.
Shen Jiheng, on the contrary, found it amusing. How many people had been deceived by his appearance? He also believed that one day Han Xi would see his true face.
Bo Siye bluntly stated, "People like us who lack status, background, and financial strength can only resort to certain means."
Shen Jiheng smiled contemptuously, looking down on this person even more than before.
Shen Jiheng once thought he was too pretentious and disdained to associate with him, but now he is far superior to him.
Tonight is a party he and Han Xi are hosting together, so he doesn't want to be bothered by anything else.
"Seeing that you're pitiful, I won't make things difficult for you. I'll transfer this land to you at the price."
Bo Siye almost ground his teeth to powder. He knew that this was a way for him to humiliate him, but a true man can bend and stretch. What was this compared to getting this land back?
"Thank you very much!"
Shen Jiheng beckoned, and Qin Chuan walked in from outside, telling him to prepare again.
Five minutes later, the latest contract was placed in front of him. Bo Siye did not expect that he would actually be willing to give it to him at the price. After all, what he said just now was just to provoke him.
But based on his understanding of Shen Jiheng, even provoking him wouldn't work unless he did it willingly.
"You're really going to give it to me?"
I have a feeling there's some other conspiracy going on.
Shen Jiheng nodded: "Sign quickly before I change my mind, otherwise you won't have this opportunity."
Bo Siye had waited for half a year, so of course he couldn't miss this opportunity. After reviewing it and finding no problems, he immediately signed it.
Even after the contract was stamped with the official seal and handed to Bo Siye, he still couldn't believe he could get his hands on it so easily.
Why are you willing to give it to me?
"It's simple, I don't want you to play the victim in front of Han Xi."
Even if he could establish an organization in Chongqing, Shen Jiheng would have countless ways to make him unable to continue. He was only giving Han Xi face.
Bo Siye doesn't care what his purpose is, as long as he can get it back, that's all that matters. But he will find a way to get back all the humiliation he suffered in front of him today, with interest.
Seeing Bo Siyue leave happily with the contract, Qin Chuan asked in confusion, "President, did you just give it to him so easily?"
Shen Jiheng laughed and said, "Who said I gave it to him easily? I was just giving him a troublesome one."
Qin Chuan didn't understand. Shen Jiheng handed over his phone. It was a message he had received twenty minutes earlier, an urgent message from the developer's president.
After reading the contents, Qin Chuan couldn't help but give Shen Jiheng a thumbs up.
"President, you're truly brilliant. This land is now embroiled in trouble, and since it's in his hands, we can only let him resolve it."
Shen Jiheng nodded. He had indeed originally wanted to raise the price, to make Bo Siye suffer a great loss.
As a result, the developer told him that a death had occurred during the development of the land, but it had been buried under the rubble. They only found out about the incident because the deceased's family came out and made a scene.
Shen Jiheng didn't want to get involved in this trouble. Since Bo Siye wanted it so much, he should let him take it on himself.
I wonder if he'll be so angry he'll vomit blood when he finds out the truth.
"How are the party preparations going tonight? Remember to make sure Han Xi attends."
"Don't worry, Mr. President. As their representative, Miss Han will definitely show up."
Shen Jiheng was worried that after what happened yesterday, she wouldn't dare to face herself.
He sent Han Xi several messages this morning, but she hasn't replied yet.
"That's good. As long as Han Xi comes, I will definitely find a way to win him over."
Seeing his unwavering confidence, Qin Chuan realized that his relationship with Han Xi had improved.
At night, at Chongqing's largest entertainment center.
The two well-known companies, Han Shu Group and Shen's Group, jointly held a party. Shen Jiheng's regal and noble aura attracted everyone's attention from the moment he appeared.
Shen Jiheng's gaze swept across the center of the dance floor, and finally he spotted the person he wanted to see in a corner.
Han Xi was particularly low-key tonight. As another protagonist, she wore a black evening gown and didn't even wear any jewelry, but it still couldn't hide her natural beauty.
