Chen Ran was fuming from being hit by two women consecutively. Furthermore, he was already storing a lot of anger.
He swiped his hand and returned the slap at Zhao Wenman. He claimed, "Bitch, aren't you the one who seduced me? You offered me the post of the president!"
Zhao Wenman was humiliated. Her face turned multiple colors. She gritted her teeth and cursed, "Chen Ran, you shameless bastard! If you really love Xiao Lingyu, you wouldn't have succumbed to my seduction. In the end, you're the one who is hypocritical, selfish, and greedy. Who are you going to blame for that?"
Everyone looked at Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. The couple had turned on each other.
"What a wonderful show!" As if worried that the world hadn't burned enough, Yan Siming sidled closer with a smile. Then he put his arm around Xiao Lingyu's shoulders. She tried to struggle, but she couldn't shake him off. In the end, Xiao Lingyu let him be.
Yan Siming lowered his head to whisper into Xiao Lingyu's ear. A warm breath rushed over, and Xiao Lingyu's face turned slightly red.
Yan Siming looked at the red-faced Xiao Lingyu, and his gaze deepened. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and his mouth moved closer to Xiao Lingyu. However, his eyes were still looking at Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman, and he asked, "My Little Firecracker, did you enjoy the show?"
She smiled coldly and said, "Of course. Why wouldn't I?" Xiao Lingyu's original plan was to expose Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman's secret affair. Xiao Lingyu did not expect the random guy she pulled off the street to be the most powerful man in City Z. The extent of the damage went beyond her expectation.
According to her original plan, Xiao Lingyu knew the expose would only make a joke out of Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman. What happened now was beyond her wildest expectation.
Xiao Lingyu thought she couldn't care less about Huiqing Group's bankruptcy or Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman's ending. She just wanted to redeem herself from her previous life. She needed everyone to know the truth. But now...
Seeing how Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman had turned on each other, Xiao Lingyu turned to Yan Siming's handsome and thanked him sincerely, "Young Master Yan, thank you!"
But Yan Siming was quite a cunning and sly person. He smiled. "My Little Firecracker, if you want to thank me, be my woman!"
Xiao Lingyu rolled her eyes and said firmly, "In your dreams!" Xiao Lingyu then stood on tiptoes to whisper into Yan Siming's ears. "Young Master Yan, I've paid you 2000 RMB to pretend to be my one-night-stand. That is where our transaction ends. Young Master Yan, you're a good businessman. You should know transparency and honesty are crucial in a business transaction!"
Xiao Lingyu was quite nervous when she said that. She was honestly worried that Yan Siming would force her to submit. After all, a man like him probably hadn't been rejected by a woman... ever.
However, Xiao Lingyu didn't think she had any charm to attract Young Master Yan. On top of that, Xiao Lingyu only wanted to be a common person. She was not interested in money or power.
After being rejected, there was no disappointment in Yan Siming's eyes. If anything, the interest deepened.
He lowered his head and whispered beside Xiao Lingyu, "I know women like to play hard to get. If it were any other woman, I would not bother. But you, my little firecracker, you've aroused my interest. Why not consider being my woman? Don't worry. I will not mistreat you. Jewelry, money, cars, houses, I can give you anything you want."
Spoken like a true young master, everything could be bought with money. In his mind, these were the things a woman could ever need. Since he was interested in Xiao Lingyu, he was willing to splurge on her. Yan Siming refused to believe that a normal woman wouldn't be moved by his offer.
Young Master Yan planned to use these things to trap Xiao Lingyu in his gilded cage until he was tired of her.
Honestly, Xiao Lingyu in her previous life might have been tempted. After all, it was not every day that she would attract the attention of the most powerful man in City Z. This was the chance to turn her life around. Xiao Lingyu was just a woman of the everyday world.
However, after being reborn, Xiao Lingyu's life focus changed. She only wanted to give birth to Xiao Tong, raise him well, and then have an ordinary life.
Xiao Lingyu looked around. There were surprised gazes, envious gazes, and angry gazes. Xiao Lingyu calmed down and replied in a low voice, "Young Master Yan, I'll give you an answer after this show is over. What do you think?"
Xiao Lingyu knew that Yan Siming would continue to pester him if she had rejected him outright. She was not playing hard to get, but it had left that effect on Yan Siming. People always want what they can't have.
Xiao Lingyu was afraid that more rejections would lead to an opposite effect, so she delayed giving her reply for now.
Yan Siming frowned when he heard this. Then a look of disgust flashed in his eyes. 'I knew it. Women are all hypocrites. She rejected me a moment ago, but now she's reconsidering it? That's no different from her agreeing to be my woman.'
Chen Ran and Zhao Wenman glared at each other with fires in their eyes. Then they turned towards Xiao Lingyu, who was flirting with Young Master Yan. Zhao Wenman glared at Xiao Lingyu with such hatred that the intensity of her enmity was palpable in the air.
Zhao Wenman swore internally, 'Xiao Lingyu, I will repay the humiliation you've given me today a thousand times over in the future! Just you wait and see!'
Perhaps sensing Zhao Wenman's venomous gaze, Yan Siming suddenly turned towards her. His eyes glinted, and then his lips curled upwards. Yan Siming told Xiao Lingyu. "My little firecracker, this is your show. How about I give you a chance to take further revenge?"
Zhao Wenman's face shifted as a bad feeling rose within him. The next second, she heard...
Yan Siming said, "How about you decide whether Yan Corporation shall continue to collaborate with Huiqing Group or not? Just say the word, and I'll make the call to resume the two companies' collaboration!"
The crowd couldn't believe what they heard. The fate of the company now rested in the hands of the person whom everyone at the company had bullied. Xiao Lingyu alone decided the destiny of everyone who worked at the company.
Once Zhao Wenman heard this, she staggered back twice. Her face turned white from panic.
Quite wonderful turn of events
The legends of Yan Siming were endless in City Z. Yan Siming had a robust background, ability, and good looks. He was willful and arrogant. He was the king. With a wave of his hand, he could cause instant destruction of a large company.
In the business world, everyone had a tacit agreement. Anyone who valued their lives shouldn't offend Young Master Yan because those who did would have their families wiped out!
However, if something or someone entered Young Master Yan's good book, a person's life could be raised to the heavens instantly. But such lucky individuals were scarce.
Xiao Lingyu found herself to be one of those lucky individuals. Young Master Yan had just handed the fate of a large company to a woman he had a one-night-stand with.
It sounded like a joke, but it was the truth.
Both men and women looked at Xiao Lingyu with jealousy. They wished they could have her luck and be favored by Young Master Yan!
She could single-handedly decide the fate of tens of thousands of people. It was glorious.
However, these same people also looked at Xiao Lingyu with anxiety because they were the ones whose fate was in her hands.
Personally, Xiao Lingyu didn't think this was in any way glorious. It was nothing to gloat about. If anything, Xiao Lingyu felt like Yan Siming didn't seem to really want to help her. This felt more like a test.
In any case, regardless of his intention, since Yan Siming was willing to hand her the weapon, Xiao Lingyu was going to take it to take revenge for everything she had suffered in her past life.
Her lover betrayed her. She was framed, raped, and finally disgraced and chased out of City Z.
With this new start, Xiao Lingyu promised not to waste her life anymore. She wanted to live an honest life. However, this didn't mean that she was a pushover. She was not going to forgive those who intended to harm her.
In her past life, she was blinded by love. She was partially responsible for what happened to her. However, she needed the adulterous couple to take responsibility in this life. She wanted revenge!
Xiao Lingyu's eyes curved like a crescent moon. She smiled so beautifully. Her sparkling eyes were like a whirlpool sucking in the souls of every man present, including Yan Siming.
Yan Siming's eyes narrowed slightly. He started to understand why Chen Ran had done everything to keep Xiao Lingyu for himself.
Xiao Lingyu's facial features were not perfect, but when combined, they were very pleasing to the eye. Moreover, Xiao Lingyu's beauty was one that would stand the test of time. It was like a bottle of good wine. It would taste better with time.
Xiao Lingyu couldn't be bothered with what the others thought. She just smiled. "Young Master Yan, thank you for the offer. I shall take it then."
Yan Siming heard this, and his interest was piqued. He smiled and said, "My little firecracker, be my guest!"
For Yan Siming, Huiqing Group was nothing more than a toy. He was very curious about what Xiao Lingyu would do with such great power.
Xiao Lingyu nodded. She walked towards Zhao Wenman, who was glaring at her with hatred. Xiao Lingyu smiled, "Miss Zhao, is that dissatisfaction I see in your eyes?"
Zhao Wenman's expression froze. Then, a raging fire erupted in her heart. Just as she was about to counter, Xiao Lingyu said evenly, "I am lucky because Young Master Yan has awarded me this perfect chance to take revenge on you."
Everyone saw Xiao Lingyu's face. Xiao Lingyu was being matter-of-fact, but people interpreted it differently.
Yan Siming raised his brow. He saw a queenly presence on Xiao Lingyu. Xiao Lingyu looked perfect being at the top of the food chain.
However, not everyone saw the same thing.
"Xiao Lingyu, you're going too far! How despicable!" Lin Xiangyu shouted at Xiao Lingyu. She was so jealous that she was going crazy. 'Why is Xiao Lingyu always so lucky? Where does she find these men?'
Chen Ran was one thing, but Xiao Lingyu was lucky enough to win the favor of Young Master Yan. How was that possible?
When Lin Xiangyu found out the man was the famous Young Master Yan, she shrank back in fear and didn't dare make a sound. However, when she saw how smug Xiao Lingyu was, Lin Xiangyu couldn't hold herself back anymore. She needed to find a channel to vent her envy and anger.
Lin Xiangyu's face was red. "Young Miss Zhao has already apologized to Young Master Yan, so what more do you want? Are you only to be satisfied when Huiqing Group goes bankrupt? How venomous can you be? Don't you realize that thousands of employees rely on this company for their livelihoods? You're going to destroy so many people's lives for your own selfish motives? How do you even sleep at night?"
Lin Xiangyu spoke with righteousness. She painted Xiao Lingyu as an unpardonable sinner.
It was worth noting that Lin Xiangyu purposely chose this moment to stand out. It was for Young Master Yan to notice her. In terms of looks and figures, she was better than Xiao Lingyu. If Xiao Lingyu could gain Young Master Yan's favor, why couldn't she?
In fact, Lin Xiangyu believed her chances were better than Xiao Lingyu.
However, people really shouldn't dream in the day.
Lin Xiangyu had walked out representing the employees of Huiqing Group. She had the halo of the people's heroine. However, Yan Siming did not even glance at her.
Xiao Lingyu chuckled, "Such righteousness and what a performance. But to think they'd come out of your mouth, Lin Xiangyu. That's quite amusing.
"One, Miss Zhao offended Young Master Yan, so shouldn't she apologize? Two, did I force Miss Zhao to apologize to Young Master Yan? Three, so she did apologize to Young Master Yan, but what does that have to do with me? Has Zhao Wenman apologized to me?"
Xiao Lingyu shot a glance at Lin Xiangyu. "Speaking of, Lin Xiangyu, if you want to stay in Huiqing Group, you better apologize to me now!"
"What?" Lin Xiangyu widened her eyes in surprise. She rejected the demand instantly, "Xiao Lingyu, I didn't do anything wrong. Why should I apologize to you? You have to be reasonable!"
"Lin Xiangyu, I know you're not that stupid." Xiao Lingyu smiled. "A wise person submits to the circumstances, isn't that your life principle? So why are you playing dumb now?"
"Huh?" Lin Xiangyu was not pretending. She really had no idea why she should apologize to Xiao Lingyu. In the past, Lin Xiangyu had bullied Xiao Lingyu a lot at work. However, in Lin Xiangyu's mind, Xiao Lingyu deserved to be bullied, so Lin Xiangyu had nothing to apologize for.
Xiao Lingyu pointed out. "Fine, Lin Xiangyu, let me ask you this. Where did you get that photo of me at the hotel? Don't tell me you happened to be at the hotel at the time." Xiao Lingyu chuckled sarcastically. "I am not that pig-headed to believe such a blatant lie."
