The person on the other end of the line hesitated for a moment before answering in a deep, manly voice. “I’m very satisfied with your performance.”

Fang Nuan clearly heard that it was Ji Jingchen’s voice. She could not hide the joy in her eyes. This was truly a case of the saying, “no matter what, there is always a way out. Don’t lose hope.”. Fang Nuan had never thought that she would be able to hear Ji Jingchen’s voice and be so close to the man of her heart.

“I look forward to cooperating with you again next time. Goodbye.” Du Jiuyuan ended the conversation after her mission was accomplished.

“Okay, I look forward to it as well.” Ji Jingchen understood the reason Du Jiuyuan made this phone call. He was secretly looking forward to more of this in the future. Du Jiuyuan immediately hung up the phone.

“I’ll sign a one-year contract with you and pay you another five million yuan if you agree to sell me CEO Ji’s phone number,” Fang Nuan said arrogantly.

“I’m sorry, my client’s personal details are not for sale.” Du Jiuyuan put on a professional smile and said apologetically.

Su Qing felt even more wronged. She originally thought that Fang Nuan was poor and couldn’t afford her salary. But now, it seemed that she was merely bullying the weak and fearing the strong. For Fang Nuan, a month of Su Qing’s salary was only equivalent to her dog’s food expenses! 

“I’ll pay you six million then!” Fang Nuan continued to raise the price. In her eyes, there was nothing that money couldn’t buy. Du Jiuyuan remained adamant as she shook her head firmly.

“Ten million!” Fang Nuan seemed to not understand Du Jiuyuan’s principle. In her eyes, she thought that Du Jiuyuan was merely expecting more money to be offered. For the sake of Ji Jingchen, she was willing to pay an exorbitant price.

Du Jiuyuan was about to reject the offer once again, but she was pulled aside by He Lili. “Don’t make things difficult when this much money is involved. After all, you no longer have a personal relationship with Ji Jingchen.”

After struggling for a while, Du Jiuyuan returned her sight to Fang Nuan.

“Think carefully. Even if you don’t sell his number to me today, I’ll find someone else who will.” Fang Nuan was secretly feeling a little nervous. She was afraid that the chance to get the number would be gone just like that.

Du Jiuyuan still had a troubled expression on her face. “Miss Fang, I agree, but please keep this as a secret between us. If CEO Ji finds out, I won’t be able to continue staying in Hong Kong City.”

He Lili, who was watching from the side, couldn’t help but clap her hands in approval. She realized that Du Jiuyuan could truly put on an act. Her sincere looks were really convincing.

“Don’t worry, I won’t sell you out.” Fang Nuan couldn’t hide the joy on her face. The way she was drooling over Ji Jingchen was so disgusting. 

Du Jiuyuan invited Fang Nuan and her assistant to take a seat while asked Su Qing to take her seat at the table as well. Then, she went to work on the contract, and He Lili followed behind her with a worried look.

“You sold Ji Jingchen out for the sake of ten million yuan. If he knew, would he really ban you from this industry?” He Lili was a little worried. After all, Ji Jingchen was a very temperamental person.

Du Jiuyuan typed the contract and scrutinized it. After confirming that everything was in order, she said, “I didn’t sell Ji Jingchen out, I only sold his phone number. Besides, if Ji Jingchen investigates, I will just tell him you influenced me to do it.”

“What?” He Lili was astonished.

‘Aren’t we like sisters? If we’re going to die, shouldn’t we die together?’ 

Fang Nuan skimmed through the contract and signed her name. To her, ten million was just a small amount of money. The most important thing was her dream lover’s contact information. After the contract was signed, she was afraid that Du Jiuyuan would go back on her word, so she directly transferred the money over.

“I’m glad to be cooperating with you!” Du Jiuyuan politely said after receiving the money.

Fang Nuan had no intention of holding back her words any longer. She stood up abruptly and asked, “Where is the phone number?”

Du Jiuyuan took out a piece of paper and wrote Ji Jingchen’s phone number, placing it in Fang Nuan’s hand.

“You actually memorized CEO Ji’s phone number?” Fang Nuan saw that Du Jiuyuan did not even look at her phone when she wrote. Her expression changed drastically.

Du Jiuyuan was slightly taken aback. Ji Jingchen had never changed his phone number before, thus she certainly had memorized it for a long time.

“Hmph, let me tell you. A man like CEO Ji would never fall for a woman like you. You shouldn’t even dream of seducing someone completely out of your league!” 

The Fang family was deemed not worthy enough to attend Ji Jingchen’s wedding in Hong Kong City. Thus, they did not know about Du Jiuyuan at all.

“Miss Fang, you’ve misunderstood. CEO Ji is my client, and I make it a point to memorize all key information about my clients.” Du Jiuyuan’s tone was not as friendly as it sounded earlier, but there was still a faint smile on her face.

Fang Nuan said nothing else. She glared at Du Jiuyuan in disdain, pulled her assistant away, and deliberately slammed the door on her way out. He Lili felt uncomfortable when she saw Fang Nuan’s arrogant attitude. She had been holding back her anger for a long time..
