Hong Kong is in full swing

"Qiao Yuan? Why are you here? This situation is really unexpected."

Clearly, he had never expected to run into his second sister in such an occasion. The sudden encounter instantly darkened Qiao Yuan's expression, and deep down, he couldn't help but suspect some ulterior motive...

"Do I need to report to your second sister about where I am and what I am doing?"

Facing the other party's wary eyes, he retorted unyieldingly: "Instead, I want to ask Shen one thing: Did you come here on purpose to cause trouble for me?"

"Am I causing you trouble?"

Qiao Susu sneered, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, her eyes revealing disdain and sarcasm: "I think you followed me here, deliberately trying to ruin my plans!"

Qiao Yuan didn't want to say anything more to such a woman. He took a deep breath, tried his best to calm his inner restlessness, slowly took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and prepared to call Yu Wan to question her.

I had just taken it out with great effort when Yu Wan walked in from the front door.

She just opened her mouth to speak, but Yu Wan asked first, "Third brother, why are you here? Didn't I say I don't need your help?"

Qiao Yuan's expression suddenly changed, with a look of surprise and confusion on his face.

Yu Wan looked at Qiao Yuan and then at Qiao Susu, her brows slightly furrowed, as if trying to guess what was going on: "What's going on? Why are you following my second sister?"

Qiao Yuan was so angry that he asked in a slightly annoyed tone, "What do you mean by that, Fourth Sister? Wasn't it you who contacted me before?"

Yu Wan looked at him with confusion, her eyes revealing bewilderment. "I contacted you? Why would I contact you? You offered me five million, but my second sister offered eight million. If I think about it for a moment, I'll know there's no need for me to consider your offer."

Qiao Susu slammed the table, causing it to vibrate slightly. Her face flushed with anger, and she angrily said, "You really came all the way here just to mess things up!"

Faced with this sudden accusation, Qiao Yuan's face suddenly became gloomy, as if a storm was about to come.

So that's why she used a phone booth instead of calling me directly - she knew I would come!

Gnashing his teeth and looking at Yu Wan, his heart filled with resentment and unwillingness, Qiao Yuan said angrily: "Fourth sister is really smart."

However, Yu Wan did not directly respond to his accusation. Instead, she spoke slowly, "If you, Third Brother, don't plan to leave, are you trying to compete with Second Sister?"

"Fight with me? What do you have to compete with me? It's not even good enough."

Qiao Yuan knew clearly that Shen Yuwan's actions today were intended to intensify the long-accumulated conflict between him and Qiao Ningyue. He knew that he shouldn't fall into the trap set by the other party, but years of resentment made it difficult for him to control his emotions for a while.

Especially when he saw Qiao Ningyue's contemptuous attitude, the flame in his heart was ignited.

"Even if I'm a loser, I'm still the legitimate CEO of the company. But what about you? I don't need to tell you that you were defeated by an 'incompetent' like me last time, right?"

Hearing this, Qiao Susu was furious. She almost lost her usual composure and pointed her finger at Qiao Yuan's nose, scolding him harshly, "What are you so proud of? You're just relying on the fact that you were born a son! If I were a man, would you be able to say such things? You're despicable and shameless, not worth mentioning!"

"Try saying what you just said again!"

Qiao Yuan's eyes were blazing with fire as he practically roared these words. The entire room was filled with a tense atmosphere.

At this moment, Qiao Yuan's face was as black as charcoal, and his eyes were full of murderous intent, as if they would explode at any time.

His anger was like a raging fire, making him look very scary.

Seeing such a scene, Qiao Ningyue just snorted coldly and stopped arguing, because she knew that continuing to argue in this atmosphere would only make the situation more embarrassing and out of control.

Yu Wan interrupted at the right moment, and before the restaurant's head waiter showed up, she suggested, "Since Third Brother doesn't seem to be leaving right away, let's sit down and talk."

Her voice was gentle and calm, as if she was trying to find a peaceful solution to the storm that was about to break out and to avoid unnecessary conflicts. After all, such an occasion was not suitable for quarreling, and it would also attract more attention, which was not a good thing for anyone.

She then added, "Initially, I did hope to complete this deal with my second sister alone, but now it seems my third brother still wants to fight for this opportunity. To be honest, I can't afford to offend either of them, so I'm doing this - whoever offers the highest price will sign the contract. This is fair competition, I think, only considering interests rather than emotional factors."

Although her words sounded a bit snobbish, from a business perspective, it was indeed a more reasonable and feasible solution, which could effectively avoid the failure of cooperation due to personal factors.

Qiao Yuan was naturally dissatisfied with this solution, as it allowed those rights and interests to fall into the hands of Qiao Ningyue; but at the same time, he had never thought of really bidding with the latter, because he knew that he did not have that much money to support such a meaningless competition. Now he was just standing there silently because of a momentary impulse and unwillingness to appear weaker than others, and he did not really want to participate in this battle.

Seeing that the plan that should have been decided suddenly changed, Qiao Ningyue seemed quite dissatisfied.

After all, everything had been discussed in advance before this, but unexpectedly, the original beautiful plan was broken here.

She immediately took out the contract and said, "Why are we still bidding? Just sign it according to what we discussed before. He can't afford more money on his own, so why bother with this?"

Faced with the provocative question, "Who says I can't afford a higher price?"

Qiao Yuan retorted, but as soon as he said this, he immediately realized that he was in a very passive position.

"Then give me the numbers!"

Qiao Ningyue responded quickly, and this time it was her turn to be in an advantageous position.

This made Qiao Yuan hold back...

He remained silent and couldn't find the right words to refute.

Seeing this, Qiao Ningyue sneered and slammed the pen in her hand on the table. With a threatening look, she gave Yu Wan, who was sitting not far away, an order: "Start signing now. Don't waste time discussing meaningless things."

Yu Wan slowly picked up the pen, but she did not start writing immediately. Instead, she was hesitating whether to follow Qiao Ningyue's order to execute the contract.

At this time, the second hand of the watch on her wrist ticked away for fifteen minutes.
