29: Leng Qingqiu surrenders

After accepting the plot related to Leng Qingqiu, even though it was only their second meeting today, Jiang Che already understood this cold and stunning President very well.

Leng Qingqiu was an out-and-out workaholic, with only her career in her heart and no romantic entanglements. She had never had any dating experience and was completely clueless when it came to relationships.

To win the heart of such a woman, it was both difficult and simple; the key was to use tactics.

With numerous titles endorsing him, Leng Qingqiu already had a natural liking for Jiang Che.

Upon seeing his serious work attitude just now, Leng Qingqiu's favorable impression grew even stronger, which was why she didn't turn hostile immediately.

Otherwise, according to Leng Qingqiu's persona as a cold and stunning President, how could she have easily succumbed to his threats and coercion?

Perhaps Leng Qingqiu herself didn't realize that it was the slight good feeling she had for him deep down that was subtly influencing her thoughts.

"What are you laughing at?"

Seeing the smile on Jiang Che's face grow brighter, Leng Qingqiu's expression became even more frustrated. She rolled her beautiful eyes and asked, speechless.

"Nothing…"

"I just think your question, President Leng, is a bit brainless…"

"You are Linjiang City's famous cold and stunning President. It's perfectly normal for me to set my sights on you when people who like you can line up from Tianbei Road to Tiannan Road, isn't it?"

"Everyone appreciates beauty."

"A graceful lady is a gentleman's good match."

"Using cooperation to force me to comply, can your current behavior still be called gentlemanly?"

Leng Qingqiu scoffed, her words sarcastic and tinged with disdain.

In fact, when Jiang Che made his request, Leng Qingqiu knew that she probably couldn't escape today.

No matter how much she struggled, she would eventually have to yield.

In Linjiang City, was there any woman Jiang Che couldn't get?

Perhaps if she had remained firm, Jiang Che wouldn't have done anything to her, but Lanzi Group would surely have been ruined.

Lanzi Group was an enterprise she had fought for and built up over many years.

From university onwards, she had planned it little by little, pouring almost all her efforts from the first half of her life into it. Leng Qingqiu naturally valued Lanzi Group immensely; it was the most important thing in her life apart from her four younger sisters and little brother.

Jiang Che using Lanzi Group to coerce Leng Qingqiu could be said to have hit her exactly where it hurt.

Jiang Che rose from his seat, slowly approaching Leng Qingqiu.

"You… what do you want to do!"

"I… I'm not ready yet, can you give me a few days?"

Seeing Jiang Che's actions, Leng Qingqiu thought her mockery had completely angered the man.

She was startled, instinctively shielding her chest with her hands, her face full of vigilance, her voice trembling and full of pleading.

"So, you've agreed to my terms?"

Jiang Che raised an eyebrow, a half-smile on his face.

Leng Qingqiu pursed her red lips, silent. She wanted to open her mouth to refute something, but she was afraid of completely enraging Jiang Che and dared not speak.

By now, Leng Qingqiu was also starting to understand.

Just as Jiang Che himself admitted, this guy had probably been eyeing her for a long time, harboring ill intentions towards her, which was why he suddenly wanted to invest in Lanzi Group at this critical moment.

First, he gave her hope, then kept her hanging, making her lose opportunities for other financing methods, and finally used the investment plan to completely force her to comply.

Leng Qingqiu even felt that her guilt towards Jiang Che two days ago was all part of his calculations.

It was precisely out of guilt for being suddenly interrupted by that imbecile Xiao Chen, and fearing Jiang Che's retaliation, that she had been eagerly anticipating cooperation with Lingxiao Capital, not seeking financing elsewhere.

Step by step, she walked into the trap Jiang Che had set, finally arriving at Lingxiao Capital alone, like a lamb entering a tiger's den.

But why would Xiao Chen help Jiang Che put on such a play?

Could it be that this guy was Jiang Che's person from the very beginning?

If that were the case, everything made sense. No wonder that bastard barged into the private room without a word back then; it was all planned out!

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu's mind raced, thinking of many things. Her anger towards Xiao Chen, that traitor, intensified, and she gritted her teeth in hatred.

She had even felt a bit of admiration for that guy at first; was this how he repaid her?

While furious, Leng Qingqiu also felt a deep chill sweep through her body, and she swallowed nervously, feeling somewhat afraid.

To go to such lengths, meticulously planning every step to force her to comply, and she hadn't even noticed it beforehand. Could she truly escape the clutches of Jiang Che, this great devil?

If Jiang Che knew these thoughts of Leng Qingqiu, he would surely be amused and readily admit it.

"Oh yes, Xiao Chen, that scoundrel, is my man. He was a crucial part of getting you!"

...

"Leng Qingqiu hates Xiao Chen to the bone, Emotion Value +9999…"

"Leng Qingqiu is utterly terrified of you, Emotion Value +3344…"

Listening to the prompt sounds in his mind, Jiang Che felt a sense of inexplicable wonder.

What had this woman imagined now?

Why did she suddenly hate Xiao Chen so much?

Although somewhat puzzled, Jiang Che didn't delve into it. Anyway, for him, this was entirely a good thing.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu remain silent, her face full of hesitation, Jiang Che raised an eyebrow and continued to press her.

"What's wrong, President Leng, have you not thought it over yet?"

"I… I can agree to be your woman."

"But I also have three small requests."

Taking a deep breath, suppressing her restless emotions, Leng Qingqiu sighed softly within, finally compromising.

What else could she do now?

Watch her years of hard work be destroyed?

Leng Qingqiu simply couldn't do such a thing, so she could only agree to Jiang Che's demands.

Since she had decided to compromise, Leng Qingqiu naturally had to maximize her benefits. After all, she was a business queen, an ice-cold President, so she naturally prioritized profit.

Despite feeling incredibly frustrated and stifled, Leng Qingqiu had no choice but to accept Jiang Che's extremely peculiar "pursuit."

Moreover, she had always viewed matters of love lightly, and she had never even considered finding a boyfriend before. She already had a slight good impression of this scoundrel Jiang Che in her heart, so agreeing to him wasn't entirely out of the question.

Anyway, for her, a boyfriend or anything like that simply wasn't important.

Desperately hinting to herself, Leng Qingqiu finally forced herself to accept the reality before her.

"Oh?"

"What are your requests? Tell me…"

Jiang Che gestured for Leng Qingqiu to speak directly, feeling a bit curious himself.
