Chapter 844 I Admire You
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Esther suddenly stood up and walked over to him, reaching out and gently stroking his face. "Is it necessary to be so rigorous? I thought only Germans were so serious."
Xiao Peng turned his head back and said, "Princess Hedingen, what are you doing?"
"Just call me Esther." Esther didn't retreat but sat directly on Xiao Peng's lap, put his arm around Xiao Peng's neck, and whispered in his ear, "You're much more handsome than you look in the photo."
After saying that, she stuck out her tongue and licked Xiao Peng's ear gently.
"Princess Hedingen, please respect yourself." Xiao Peng raised his hand and threw her to the other side of the sofa, but he was still very measured in his attack. Esther did not fall but sat on the other side of the sofa.
Esther wasn't angry, instead, she laughed happily. "Xiao, there's a saying out there that you're the strongest man on the planet. I've seen the video of you bending a metal pipe with one punch. I never believed it, but now that you threw me, I believe it. You threw me like a chicken—but you really don't show any mercy to women."
Xiao Peng walked over to the table, picked up the wine glass on the table, poured himself a glass, took a sip and said, "Princess Hedingen, don't say that your behavior just now was to prove how strong I am. If that's the case, it's a very boring behavior."
Esther stood up and walked over to Xiao Peng, pouring herself a glass of wine. "What's the problem with that? What woman doesn't like a strong man? A man's 'strength' is nothing more than three things: money, power, and body. As long as he has one of these, he will be favored by women, and you have all three. I'm a woman too, how can I miss it?"
Xiao Peng didn't look at Esther's fiery gaze, but shook his head. "You said I have some money, and I'm in good shape, but I don't have any power. You said I have all three? That's a bit exaggerated."
"Exaggeration?" Esther took a sip from his glass. "The formation of the German Three States Salvage Alliance isn't as simple as you think. It's called the 'German Three States Salvage Alliance,' but things have changed since the Dutch got involved. Now people from all over the EU are vying for a piece of the action. Lower Saxony's Governor, Stephan Weil, is a rising star in German politics right now."
"Is it that exaggerated? How many sunken ships would need to be salvaged for so many people to share the profits?" Xiao Peng expressed his disbelief at what Esther said.
Esther laughed and said, "Xiao, you're really not doing a very good job as president. Tell me something, and I'll share it with you: the Three States Salvage Alliance will be listed as a joint-stock company. Of course, they won't hide this from you. It can't be concealed, but you have to read your cooperation agreement carefully to avoid loopholes."
Xiao Peng said: "Well, I have the most expensive lawyer, so this kind of problem shouldn't arise."
Esther said, "Which is more satisfying, making money from your shipwreck wealth or making money from the general public? That's why there are at least eight thousand people eyeing the Tri-State Alliance right now. These people are all wealthy individuals from EU countries, and even from the UK and the US. To them, you're now the key to their wealth. And you still say you don't have 'power'? Invisible power is even more terrifying."
Xiao Peng asked in return: "How did you know this?"
Esther took a sip of red wine and said, "Do you think I'm just a nymphomaniac who can sleep with anyone? I have more connections than you think. After all, I'm the Princess of Hedingen, right?"
Xiao Peng looked at Esther. "Well, when others say 'nepotism', they might be referring to various relatives and friends. But when Esther says 'nepotism', it should really be related to nepotism..."
That's true. After all, she is the Princess of Hedingen! Although it's just a title with no real power, it does add a lot to Esther's image. To be able to have sex with a 'princess' is an irresistible temptation for many men.
Seeing Xiao Peng silent, Esther smiled and said, "No woman would miss a strong man, right? Xiao, you are a perfect man, and I am not a useless woman. The two of us will have a perfect chemical reaction as partners, and..."
Having said this, she deliberately paused and looked at Xiao Peng.
"And?" Xiao Peng looked at Aise: "Go on!"
Esther put down her wine glass with a seductive expression: "And don't you think it's exciting? Sleeping with your enemy's wife at his funeral, this feeling is really not something everyone can have." When she said this, she walked over to Xiao Peng again and put her face on Xiao Peng's chest. She gently drew circles on Xiao Peng's chest with her fingers and said: "I am a widow now, and a widow with rich skills. I can make you relax completely. Don't you want to try it? Huh, Xiao, your body's reaction is very honest!"
Xiao Peng thought to himself, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm a man, not a eunuch. Who the hell could resist such temptation?" Even though Esther was older, she was well-maintained and had a charm that only a mature woman could have. With such a provocative move, it was strange that Xiao Peng didn't react.
"Wait a minute!" Xiao Peng pushed Aise away.
But Esther didn't give up and leaned forward again: "How can we wait at a time like this?"
This time she took direct action and started to take off Xiao Peng's clothes.
Xiao Peng suddenly raised his voice and asked, "Don't you want your money anymore?"
After hearing what Xiao Peng said, Esther stopped what he was doing: "Xiao, what do you mean?"
Xiao Peng said, "Since you said you want to cooperate with me, then we need to determine our relationship. Is it a cooperative relationship or something else?"
"Can't we have both kinds of relationships?" Esther was about to take action.
Xiao Peng shook his head. "If you want to cooperate with me, I hope you can control yourself. I'm a man, but I'm not a pervert. Besides, Friedrich and I are not enemies. It's just a business dispute. Otherwise, I wouldn't be fulfilling my promise now. Show me the agreement between Friedrich and me and I'll pay. It's that simple. If you can't produce it, then hire a lawyer to talk to me."
"Are you planning to default on your debt?" Esther was stunned after hearing this.
Xiao Peng smiled and said, "Three hundred million is not a small sum after all. How can I give it to you if you can't produce any evidence?"
Esther suddenly laughed and sat down in Friedrich's usual office chair. "Xiao, I admire you more and more. If I were younger, I would never let a man like you go. You don't let desire cloud your judgment. That's really good. The agreement between you and Wolfgang is at the law firm. I found it right away. Otherwise, how could I be so happy today?"
Xiao Peng was about to speak when he heard an argument outside: "Sir, you can't go in, you can't..."
