The beauty in front of him was tall at around 1.8 meters, with long black hair, jade green eyes, and a perfectly chiseled proud face.
Her curves were murderous as well, as he had larger than average juicy melons, a thin waist, and large hips, followed by some straight and beautiful thigs wrapped in stockings.
She looked like some kind of Goddess, and her looks were then followed by her cold and proud look, and character. She didn't look like she was being presented to Eric, but like he was being presented to her.
In other words, it didn't look like it was Eric who was measuring her and checking if she was worthy to allow her to be the front face of his Legal companies.
But like she was measuring and checking whether Eric was someone who was worth working for or not.
Her look, her face, and her character made Eric even more interested and curious about her. After all, guys most of the time went after a woman just for the sake of hunting and not actually for the hunt.
Furthermore, if his representative didn't have this much pride and arrogance while dealing with the business world, then everything would be useless.
For a few moments the two of them just looked at each other right in the eye, it was like the first that lowered his gaze would lose in their little game of asserting power.
It was a small game of endurance, as normally men would always divert their look first, in order to see what the beauty in front had to offer.
Unfortunately, Eric was neither a gentleman to give her that pleasure, nor a man that couldn't control his urges and desires.
So, the outcome of the battle was already decided, as finally after 7 minutes and 21 seconds, the beauty finally diverted her look. The winner was clearly Eric.
After his dominance had been proven in some way, Eric just continued looking at her with a gaze of interest as he said,
"So, your name is Cui La?"
"Yes!"
"Very well Cui La, let me get straight to the point. What I am looking for is someone that will help me rule the White market of this city and this prefecture in the future!
So, I will ask you only two questions!
First, do you have the confidence to do it!?
Second, how much money and time it would take!?"
"Huh!?"
The beauty Cui La was left speechless as she heard Eric's two questions, she had never expected something like this.
It may look like Eric was playing around, or like he was just spouting nonsense, but the truth was that he had the capital to sprout such nonsense.
Furthermore, from the tone of his voice, it wasn't a matter of whether it was possible or not, but how much time it would take.
For some reason she felt like her prior understanding and evaluation of the guy in front of her was completely wrong.
Eric looked like a kid, even younger than her at around 18 or 20 years old, so she thought that he was probably one of those silk pants geniuses of the capital coming here for fun.
Even though she was briefed on his strength and his abilities, she still didn't quite believe them, she thought that some family Master of his was doing the job from the shadows.
But now that she stood in front of him like that, and heard those two questions, she seemed to have changed completely her opinion of him.
On the other hand, Eric was just looking at her with the same look he had from the beginning as he seemed unfazed by her assets and beauty.
It wasn't that he was truly unfazed, but if this woman knew how to play hard to get, then he could just reverse the tables on her.
Since she seemed so confident in her body, curves, and sensuality then he could just show her that there were mountains after mountains.
"6 months to 1 year, and that is only if I have unlimited access to funds. While I might lose around 20-30% of them in the meantime, I can promise that I will triple the investment in the next year!"
"1 year to take over the whole Wenzhou Prefecture, surely isn't bad! I think I can work with that!"
"Uh~! No, I meant 1 year about this Longgang City! Even though it looks simple, it certainly isn't, as there will be a lot of pressure, and problems with the local companies and groups!"
"Huh~!? It seems like I thought highly of you even when I tried to underestimate you! I thought of leaving everything to you and taking care of some other issues, but it looks like I will have to help you a bit!"
"Huh!? Don't be cocky! Do you think that you cant take over this place in a shorter time? That is nothing more than a fool's dream!"
"Well, perhaps it is, perhaps it isn't! While I am just a student of Economics, I know my way around it, and even more, I understand human nature!"
"Huh!? Hhahaah~! You are just a student, and pretend like you can do something like that? You are truly funny! Just like some circus clown! Come on, tell me a few more jokes!"
"Oh!? Do my words seem like jokes to you? Very well then, since you think so, then it will be easy for you to bet on this clown's jokes, right?"
"What do you mean?"
"If I win then you will become mine, not only as a slave but serve me with your full will and conscience!
If you win, then I will release your brother and the others from their bindings, and I will also add an extra 10 million dollars. I am sure you will find them useful!
So, how will it be? Do you dare!?"
The beauty was a bit confused and surprised at the moment, as she didn't understand whether Eric was cracking jokes, or really meant his words, but she felt like this was her chance.
This was her only opportunity to save her brother and the others from their binding, but also get capital to start her own business.
Even though she had a sort of a bad feeling about this, she immediately jumped into the bet,
"Yes! Of course yes! You are practically giving me these rewards for free. Hahahhaah~!"
"Very well then, in two weeks at most Longgang City will become fully mine!"
The beauty was startled and surprised for a moment, as the self-confidence in Eric's voice seemed to have affected her, as she thought that he was extremely cool.
But the next moment she quickly shook her head and decided to throw that feeling away, as the person in front of her wasn't her man, her friend, or even a person she could trust.
"For these two weeks stay behind me as my secretary, it would be bothersome to teach you how to deal with business again from scratch."
The beauty felt extremely angered, but she managed to control herself and compose her attitude, as her brother's and the other's freedom depended on her.
Dealing with her, Eric seemed to not have much of a mood anymore, as he just stood up and calmly walked towards his own room.
Cui La watch him disappear behind the doors with an odd look, as Cui Xie appeared beside her asking,
"So, how it went little sister!?"
"Hm…, Hm…, Hmm~! Very well I would say!"
After that, she started telling him whatever happened, but instead of being happy for her, Cui Xie started reproaching her.
"Are you stupid? How could you fall for such a simple trap!?"
"Huh!? You are the stupid one! Stupid…, Stupid…, stuuupid~! Do you think that he can do what he said? Do you think it's that easy?"
"It certainly won't be easy, and he might have to suffer quite a bit for it, but he certainly can pull it off. Someone of his age, who could beat Old man Ma is certainly not someone ordinary!
You have just drowned without knowing! I thought that you wouldn't fall that easy for his tricks and games, but it looks like I was severely mistaken."
"Huh!? Come on, it can't be that you truly think that he could truly pull it off, right? What happened to you and that cheap pride and arrogance of yours!"
"Sigh~! We can only wait and see! But I have a feeling that he already has control over this game!"
As the two of them were talking freely to each other, suddenly Cui Xie Smartphone rang and a message icon appeared in the interface.
Opening the message, he read only two lines,
"Prepare a secret meeting with the Police Director, and all the other important political figures of the City one after the other.
Tell them that you have something interesting in your hands that will make them rich beyond imagination!"
Reading the message Cui Xie was a bit startled and confused, but his prior thoughts seemed to act like fuel who was thrown to the fire, as he extended his hand and showed the message to his little sister.
The way he saw it, there were only two options from tomorrow forth, either they succeeded and took control of the city in full, or he and his little sister would have to leave with Eric for some other place.
On the other hand, Eric seemed to be extremely calm and collected. He didn't look like someone who had just taken part in a huge bet…
