Chapter 3

At this moment, Shen Nian also stood up: "Our President Lu has always not made promises lightly. Now that President Lu has promised to double the profits for your company, he will definitely fulfill what he said. I hope President Li and President Fang can consider this carefully."

"... " Undeniably, Lu Lingchuan was very good at tempting people.

On one side there was a 10% increase in benefits, on the other side there was a doubling of profits. Smart people would choose the latter.

It's just... investment is not absolutely profitable or absolutely loss-making. Making money depends on one's ability and luck, not just shouting.

Feeling their hesitation, Shen Nian only thought for a second before taking another bottle of wine from the ice bucket next to her and opened it in front of them.

Shen Nian held the wine bottle directly, stared at the two presidents, and said solemnly: "Lingrui Group will definitely not disappoint your company. This is our sincerity."

After she finished speaking, she directly put her lips to the bottle and the wine in the bottle was slowly decreasing.

Shen Nian's aggressiveness and desperation made the two old foxes of the business world feel inferior. They stared blankly for a few seconds before shouting loudly.

"Good!"

Shen Nian put down the bottle. More than half the wine in the bottle was gone.

"Based on Assistant Shen's sincerity, we believe your company will definitely not disappoint us!"

The meaning behind their words was that the cooperation was settled.

Shen Nian smiled slyly: "Thank you for President Fang and President Li's trust."

"Come on, let's toast to our cooperation!"

Shen Nian picked up the tall glass next to her again and clinked glasses with them.

One glass after another went down her throat. The spiciness was accompanied by ice-coldness, and the ice-coldness stimulated the pain in her abdomen. The three sensations cycled back and forth and Shen Nian gradually became numb.

She couldn't feel the spiciness of the wine, she couldn't feel the ice-coldness, she couldn't even feel the pain in her abdomen anymore.

After three rounds of drinking, President Li and President Fang had already collapsed drunk. They were supported by their assistants, full of tipsiness.

"Assistant Shen, I'm so satisfied with you! Why don't you consider coming to work at my company tomorrow? I'll give you a vice president position to try out!"

With Shen Nian’s capabilities and eloquence, she was indeed qualified to be a vice president.

This was not the first company president who wanted to poach her. Shen Nian was very adept at handling them.

Just as the driver was about to ask Lu Lingchuan which home to return to, there was another "bang" of the door closing. By the time the driver reacted, there was only him left in the car.

The security guards at the entrance of the high-end community work 24 hours. Shen Nian and Lu Lingchuan entered the lobby one after the other. The security guard immediately recognized them as residents of the community. Without needing to verify their information again, he quickly helped them swipe their access cards to open the door.

The two entered one after the other and walked along the pebble path inside the community.

Shen Nian walked in front covering her lower abdomen, Lu Lingchuan followed behind, with about 5 meters of distance between them.

It was very late now. Aside from them, there was no one downstairs in the community building. It was so quiet that they could hear each other's footsteps.

Shen Nian entered one of the buildings with Lu Lingchuan following closely behind.

While waiting for the elevator, it was still just the two of them.

Shen Nian pressed the elevator button. The doors opened and she automatically stood on the right side after entering. Lu Lingchuan entered and stood on the left side.

Still not a word was spoken. Shen Nian first pressed the button to close the elevator doors, then pressed a floor number, while Lu Lingchuan just stood there.

The elevator rose slowly. From entering the community until now, neither had said a word to each other, distant as strangers, the atmosphere was oppressively quiet.

"Ding–"

They arrived at the floor. The elevator doors opened, still Shen Nian exited first, Lu Lingchuan followed behind.

They walked to a door. Shen Nian unlocked it with her fingerprint and entered the house.

Lu Lingchuan who was behind her walked in as well and reached out to close the door.

The sound of the door closing shattered the stiff and strange atmosphere between them. Before Shen Nian could turn on the lights, Lu Lingchuan suddenly grabbed her hand and pulled hard.

By the time Shen Nian reacted, she was already pressed against the front door. Lu Lingchuan's tall figure pressed towards her domineeringly. He firmly circled her waist with one hand, cradled the back of her head with the other, lowered his head and fiercely bit Shen Nian's lips, carrying a vengeful and thick sense of hatred!

The pain on her lips was exceptionally clear. Shen Nian came to her senses and bit back unrelentingly. Neither was willing to go soft on the other, both using their full strength.

The repression and anger accumulated at the table were all vented out at this moment. Lu Lingchuan pinched her waist. Even in the darkness his eyes bursting with hatred could be seen.

"I hate you!" He gritted out between clenched teeth, one word at a time.

He lowered his head again to fiercely bite her lips, repeating: "Shen Nian, I hate you!"

In the darkness, Shen Nian gave a desolate laugh, calmly meeting the man's icy gaze: "What a coincidence."

I hate you too.
