"Good evening, Mr. Du!"
Xiao Yingxia approached a fat middle-aged man with a big belly and politely offered her greetings.
"You are?"
Boss Du was having fun talking to someone when he turned his head to see Xiao Yingxia. He was immediately enchanted by her.
Xiao Yingxia was indeed a beauty.
She was the kind of woman that could be said to be breathtaking at a glance and her beauty would clearly be imprinted in one's memory forever.
Aside from the fact that Xiao Yingxia had exceptional exquisite facial features with limpid eyes that were more than enough to steal the spotlight of most of the popular female celebrities in Xia country, what makes Xiao Yingxia even more breathtaking was her stature.
With her 1.7m height, she could definitely be considered a tall woman.
Now that she wore a light blue professional wrap-around skirt tsk... among the women that Boss Du had seen, no one had a great stature as her!
"I'm from the Xiao family... I've come to look for you to negotiate about our previous collaboration..."
Though Xiao Yingxia felt uncomfortable with her client eyeing her without even bothering to cover it up, she nevertheless braced herself as she could do nothing about it.
In times of need, one would have no choice but to give in.
Even if others in the party eye at her, she was helpless.
"Oh, you're from the Xiao family..."
Boss Du asked the man who he was talking to earlier to take his leave. His greedy eyes then feasted on Xiao Yingxia without a trace of politeness.
His two eyes alone weren't enough to feast on such a beauty...
It was remarkable that Xiao Yingxia herself came in search of him.
"Mr. Du, I've come looking for you today to discuss the project we thought of collaborating on earlier. You know well that... our Xiao family undoubtedly has the power to undertake this project..."
Xiao Yingxia contained her disgust within herself.
Her tone of speaking to him was neither servile nor overbearing.
As she had the courage to come to discuss the project, she naturally had her own means.
To begin with, her Xiao family was the ideal choice for the project for her client.
This collaboration was a win-win situation if her client picks her Xiao family as it would only maximize his profits.
From a business point of view, Xiao Yingxia assumed that as long as she could clearly explain the merits and drawbacks of their collaboration, her client would most likely comply with her.
However, Xiao Yingxia was somewhat naive.
It was true that businessmen were driven by profit.
But on the dark side, not all profits they desire were as simple as they seem.
Her Xiao family had offended Young Master Li.
Although Young Master Li let off the Xiao family for the time being, who would dare collaborate with the Xiao family at the cost of offending the Li when the storm had just subsided!
Even if Boss Du couldn't carry out his project, he'd by no means collaborate with the Xiao family.
But now that Boss Du saw Xiao Yingxia, he hesitated.
He then shot her a meaningful smile and said, "Miss Xiao, It is as you said. Your Xiao family is obviously the best choice for me to pick for this project... But you seemed to have missed a point...
"Now with everyone in Jinghai knowing that your family offended Young Master Li... it isn't wise of me to do that...
"In addition to that... your family now isn't even a choice for me... Miss Xiao, wouldn't it be inappropriate of me if I still plan to collaborate with your Xiao family?... "
Xiao Yingxia couldn't help but bite her lips when Boss Du had finished his words.
Ignoring the business profits from their collaboration, the real obstacle for her Xiao family was that they had offended Young Master Li!
"Mr. Du..."
Xiao Yingxia wanted to intervene but Boss Du continued, "Well, Miss Xiao, we both understand what it'd end to if I collaborate with your Xiao family. So, in order for me to collaborate, Miss Xiao has to be earnest..."
"Mr. Du, my Xiao family is very earnest to you," Xiao Yingxia said.
However, Boss Du shook his head and said, "What I want is you, Miss Xiao, to be earnest to me..."
At this point, even a naive woman like Xiao Yingxia could understand what Boss Du hinted.
She couldn't help but coldly shake her head.
"Mr. Du, I would never do something like that. If you really want me to do such a thing, then let's forget about our collaboration..." Xiao Yingxia said.
A hint of frustration was evident in her tone.
It seemed like her only attempt to put things right would end up in failure.
"Hehe..."
Seeing that Xiao Yingxia was about to leave, Boss Du sneered, "Miss Xiao, you should seriously consider my proposal. If you decide to accompany me this once, I promise to collaborate with you for the project..."
Hearing what Boss Du said, Xiao Yingxia's little hands clenched into fists.
Xiao Yingxia was really unwilling to do something like that. That's not something she would do!
When Xiao Yingxia was in a tight spot, a jade-like gentle yet robust voice once again rang in her ears, "In Jinghai, only you had the nerve to want my woman to accompany you..."
A figure dressed in a white suit leisurely walked in and took Xiao Yingxia in his arms.
Boss Du lifted his head to take a look at the figure. He then broke out in a cold sweat...
