“Next, Ye Xiong.”
“Let’s go in!” Ye Xiong patted Wang Tong’s shoulder.
Wang Tong’s legs gave way and he almost fell to the ground.
“Brother Xiong, you should be fine alone. I can’t see myself entering.”
He had never seen such a huge scene in his life. He was used to working on construction sites and had never been in a situation before.
“Then, you can just wait for me here.”
It was too much to send a construction worker to discuss hundred-million-dollar business.
Ye Xiong knocked on the door before he entered.
Ye Xiong was stunned the moment he entered and stared at the girl in front of him. He paused for a long time.
She was such a beautiful woman. Was she really a mother with a four or five-year-old child?
Before Ye Xiong entered the room, he was expecting to see a fat and wrinkly woman with a few layers of make-up on her face. Who would have thought that she was a woman everyone loved. She looked like she was younger than twenty-six.
She had a mature vibe surrounding her, perhaps because she had been married. Anyone would be greatly attracted to her with just a look.
He could never have imagined that while he was checking out Du Yuehua, the latter was doing the same to him. She found him extremely familiar, as if she had met him somewhere before.
“May I know how much you are willing to pay?” Lil Mei did not want to waste any more time, so she asked straightforwardly.
Ye Xiong lifted up one finger.
“One hundred million dollars. That’s more like it. At least we can negotiate.” Lil Mei nodded as she thought that she had met someone understanding.
“Miss, you’ve mistaken. It’s not one hundred million dollars.”
“Ten million dollars?” Lil Mei’s expression changed. This was her first time encountering such a shameless person.
“It’s one million dollars.” Ye Xiong corrected her again.
Kaboom. It was as a sunny sky had become a thunderstorm in Lil Mei and Du Yuehua’s mind.
However, while Lil Mei was dumbfounded by the other party’s ridiculous price, Du Yuehua recalled where she had heard this voice before.
“Someone come help save her.”
The voice that kept ringing in her head when she was being saved was very similar to his voice.
Du Yuehua inspected Ye Xiong’s face and body.
‘It’s him. It must be him.’
She had been searching for him high and low and yet he appeared before her by chance. She had finally found him.
Due Yuehua felt that she was tearing up.
“Mr Ye Xiong, are you sure you’re not having a fever 1 ?” Lil Mei resisted the urge to throw the document at Ye Xiong’s face.
Was Ye Xiong treating the Feiyang International Hotel like a dumpster? One million dollars was not even enough to buy a house in this area.
“I don’t have a fever, only you women can become horny 1 . This is especially true when a woman meets someone as handsome as me.” Ye Xiong flicked his hair as he spoke coolly.
“Who said that guys can’t become horny…” Lil Mei’s brain clicked when she was halfway through her words. She finally realized that the fever he was mentioning was not caused by illness, but a woman feeling horny.
“President Du, not only this guy is sick, he’s sick in the head as well. Please tell him to leave now!” Lil Mei shouted.
However, Du Yuehua did not react at all even though she was called multiple times. Lil Mei looked over to see that Du Yuehua was staring intently at Ye Xiong. Her eyes were tearing up, she did not utter a single word, and she had not heard Lil Mei calling out to her.
Ye Xiong was excited when he saw Du Yuehua staring at him with a speechless look.
‘I really am a gifted talent.’ He knew that such a girl, who was lacking love, would be so excited that she would start tearing up the instant she saw his handsomeness. Perhaps this was the rumored love at first sight?
“President Du, President Du. Are you feeling unwell?” Lil Mei called out a few times.
“Oh, I’m fine.” Du Yuehua came back to her senses as she discreetly wiped the edge of her eyes. “I was just discharged from the hospital and am still a little bit uncomfortable. Oh right, Mr Ye, where did we stop earlier?”
“There’s nothing further to discuss. This man offered one million dollars. I’m sure he’s mentally retarded.” Lil Mei scolded.
“Lil Mei, please behave. We can always negotiate if we can’t come to an agreement on the price,” Du Yuehua said.
A hotel that was worth one hundred million dollars was being sold out at one million dollars. Could they really negotiate with such a drastic difference?
Lil Mei was on the verge of tears. What happened to President Du? Had she really become horny the instant she saw this handsome man?
“Mr Ye. Truthfully, your price is ridiculously low. Can’t you increase it any further?” Du Yuehua said gently.
He was her savior. She would be happy just to talk to him a little bit more.
“I wanted to increase the price, but I simply don’t have the money for it!” Ye Xiong scratched his head. He recalled the captivated gaze Du Yuehua had on him earlier and acted on a whim. “How about this. I don’t have money, but I’m quite strong in other aspects. I’ll let you do whatever you want whenever you need me.”
He had even winked at Du Yuehua and gazed at her seductively. What he meant was, ‘You know what I mean.’
Du Yuehua’s expression changed. Had he not been her savior, she would have called security and kicked this shameless guy out.
While she had been in the hospital, she had imagined what kind of person her savior was countless times.
She had never imagined that he was such a perverted man. She was utterly disappointed.
“Mr Ye Xiong, please take note of your words. Respecting others is equivalent to respecting yourself.” Du Yuehua was angry.
Ye Xiong was stunned as he thought that perhaps he had misread the situation. Did she have no interest in him at all?
As Du Yuehua was about to continue speaking, the door was kicked open and numerous muscular men with tattoos on their bodies entered the office.
The few muscular men crossed their arms and held their heads high as they entered. They had a sullen look on their face, as if they were worried that no one knew that they were unfriendly.
“President Du, did you ignore our Brother Bao earlier?” A muscular man with a broad mouth said furiously.
“Who allowed you guys to enter? Get out.” Du Yuehua retaliated.
“D*mned widow. I’ll warn you one last time. This hotel is booked by our Brother Bao. You’re not allowed to sell it to anyone besides him.” The broad-mouth man threatened.
“It’s my hotel. I’ll sell it to whoever I please and no one can do anything about it.”
“So, you want to sell it to someone else, eh? I’ll beat up whoever comes here. The people outside have already been beaten up; it’ll be the same in the future.” The broad-mouth man scoffed.
Ye Xiong immediately stood up and rushed to the door the instant he heard him.
He saw that everyone who had come for the tender was lying on the ground and groaning. It was obvious that they had all been beaten up.
Wang Tong, too, was laying on the ground. Whether he was alive or dead was uncertain.
“Wang Tong, wake up.” Ye Xiong charged in immediately.
Wang Tong opened his eyes and said anxiously the instant he saw Ye Xiong, “Brother Xiong, let’s leave quickly. These people are not to be messed with.”
“Where did they hit you?” Ye Xiong asked.
“Forget about that for now. Just carry me out before we talk about this.” Wang Tong sounded anxious.
“I’m asking you again, where did they hit you?” Ye Xiong roared.
HIs roar was equivalent to a bomb exploding and it attracted everyone’s attention.
A mysterious rage started filling up Ye Xiong’s heart.
He had promised Madam Wong that he would take good care of Wang Tong. However, only a while after that Wang Tong had been beaten to the ground. He could not accept this at all.
“I got punched in the face once and kicked to the stomach twice.” Wang Tong touched his red swollen lip as he spoke.
“Which one hit you?” Ye Xiong continued questioning.
Then, a burst of laughter came from behind. “I’m the one who hit him. What’s the matter, do you have a problem with that?”
