In winter, it gets dark early and the cold nights mean there are few people on the streets.
After the painful lesson from last time, Xia Xingkong was very cautious even when going out at night. As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years.
She walked aimlessly on the street, wondering what to do next.
As the saying goes, it is better to rely on yourself than on others. This is really true.
You can't count on anyone except yourself.
There's no chance of going abroad. My only hope... is...
Xia Xingkong suddenly stopped and a figure flashed in his mind.
Although Mingjie explicitly rejected her at that time, she now wants to fight for herself again.
After all, this time, she has the bargaining chips in her hand.
The last time, she called Mingjie with her own cell phone, and there was a record of the call. She was afraid that she would not be able to find him, so she saved Mingjie's number.
This time, Mingjie answered the phone quickly, which surprised Xia Xingkong.
However, when she said her name, Mingjie was about to hang up the phone. Xia Xingkong thought quickly and said that she had something on Mingjie, so Mingjie didn't hang up the phone.
The two agreed to meet at a place.
Xia Xingkong arrived first, and Mingjie arrived late.
Arriving at the box, Xia Xingkong first pulled out a chair for Ming Jie, "Manager Ming, please sit down."
Mingjie sat down and looked at the several dishes on the table, all of which were his favorite flavors.
This was the dish that Xia Xingkong had the waiter serve on time.
Mingjie arrived just after the dishes were served.
Just the right time!
Xia Xingkong poured a glass of white wine and placed it on Mingjie's table, then poured himself another glass.
Looking at the white wine in front of him, Mingjie chuckled: "It seems that Miss Xia has been asking about my preferences a lot!"
"Manager Ming, please forgive me for making a fool of myself." Xia Xingkong smiled gently.
Mingjie leaned back in his chair, narrowed his eyes, and said straight to the point, "Miss Xia, can you tell me now that you have something against me?"
Hearing this, Xia Xingkong consciously picked up the wine glass in front of him, raised it high, looked at Mingjie, and said sincerely: "Speaking of this, I will punish myself with a glass first."
As the white wine took a sip, the spicy taste quickly filled my mouth. As the spiciness entered my throat, tears immediately filled my eyes.
This was her first time drinking white wine. She usually didn't drink it, but she heard that Mingjie liked it, so she forced herself to drink it in order to cater to his preferences.
Seeing Xia Xingkong's painful expression, Mingjie asked calmly, "Miss Xia, why are you doing this?"
Xia Xingkong shook his head and placed the wine glass on the table. "If I didn't say this, would Manager Ming be willing to come see me?"
"So, Miss Xia doesn't have any leverage over me at all." Mingjie was neither angry nor panicked. "Why did you trick me out?"
When he heard Xia Xingkong say that she had something on him, he thought Xia Xingkong had some tricks up her sleeve, but now, he really overestimated her.
As he spoke, he glanced at Xia Xingkong's empty wine glass and said, "Don't tell me I'm drinking with you."
Xia Xingkong smiled awkwardly. Seeing that Mingjie was not angry about her deception, she looked at Mingjie seriously and tried her best to fight for herself: "I want to sign a contract with Gongxia and become an artist under your management."
Hearing this, Mingjie couldn't help but burst into laughter. After laughing, he asked, "Miss Xia has so much negative information flying around right now. What qualifications do you have to sign a contract with her?"
Xia Xingkong smiled wryly, the liquor a bit too much, making her feel a bit dizzy. She leaned on the table with both hands, trying to support herself. "I'm not qualified to sign Gong Xia, but... I believe that Agent Ming... you will find a way."
Mingjie immediately became interested. He idly played with the empty bowl in front of him. "Oh? Miss Xia seems to be certain that I will help you. Tell me about it?"
Xia Xingkong: "In Gongxia, Chen Bing has always suppressed you, leaving you with nowhere to display your talents and abilities. Now, the artist Chen Bing praises the most is Xia Xingchen!"
"If Xia Xingchen is destroyed, it would be like breaking Chen Bing's arm. This arm would also cause him pain for a long time."
Mingjie continued to play with the empty bowl, but this time, he added some strength. "That's easier said than done. I don't think Xia Xingchen is that easy to deal with. Didn't you lose to her last time?"
Xia Xingkong snorted coldly, "She was lucky last time. If you can take me with you, I will definitely crush her to death in seconds."
"Why are you so confident?"
Mingjie withdrew his hand, and the empty bowl turned twice on the table. As he finished speaking, the bowl stopped steadily.
Xia Xingkong picked up the empty bowl and squeezed it hard, "Because in this world, no one hates her more than me."
With a loud clatter, the empty bowl made a crisp sound after these words were spoken.
Then, she looked at Mingjie with a burning gaze, "I hope Manager Ming can give me a chance. I will definitely not let you down."
Mingjie also looked at her, and their eyes met. He saw hatred and determination in her gentle eyes. That kind of hatred was unmatched, and that kind of determination was indestructible.
"Okay, I'll give you this chance!"
Mingjie agreed immediately. For the sake of his own future, he decided to take a gamble.
Xia Xingkong almost cried with joy. She said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Manager Ming. Don't worry, I will definitely not let you down!"
Mingjie nodded, a smile that no one could match on his face.
Xia Xingkong was very good at handling things. He put a lot of food on Mingjie's plate before asking expectantly, "Manager Ming, what should we do first?"
Ming Jie raised his lips, narrowed his eyes, and his face was full of conspiracy and calculation. He hooked his finger at Xia Xingkong, motioning her to come over.
Xia Xingkong understood and moved closer to him.
Mingjie whispered something into her ear, and Xia Xingkong's eyes widened in disbelief. "What?"

"You three, stop right there! Don't run..."
The wind was biting at night. There were few people on the street. The most conspicuous person was a young man in a white coat chasing three injured people.
The three people being chased were none other than Li Biao and his friends.
Last time, Li Biao and his men were beaten half to death by Gong Bingye's men. Fortunately, they were smart and pretended to be unconscious, so they escaped. Otherwise, they would have been beaten to death.
They had no money and couldn't go to the hospital. They called Xia Xingkong but no one answered. But they were covered in wounds and in pain.
So, the three of them came up with a plan, which was to pretend to go to the pharmacy to buy medicine. After getting the medicine, the three of them exchanged glances and immediately escaped from the pharmacy.
When the young man in the pharmacy saw the three people running away, he reacted quickly and chased after them.
When they reached the fork in the road, the three men split into two groups.
The young man stopped and thought about it, but decided not to chase anyone. He was so angry that he cursed and returned the same way he came.
Li Biao and the others met up at the next intersection. Seeing that the young man didn't catch up with them, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.
At this time, Wang Jian asked: "Boss, we are well-known gangsters, how could we be chased by a young man and become a drowned dog? It's really embarrassing."
