」 The veins at his temple subtly protruded, realizing that she had been intentional from beginning to end. This woman… 「This time,」 Xia Xi whispered softly by his ear, her devastatingly beautiful face smiling sweetly. 「I won.」
Back home, Xia Xi colla
The phone’s ringtone broke the quiet room, and Xia Xi lazily flipped out her phone.
「This is Xia Xi.」
「Are you about to rest?」 came Lu Ziyi’s low, pleasant male voice from the other end.
「I’ve already fallen onto the soft big bed,」 Xia Xi answered with a laugh.
The bed… she definitely said that on purpose for him to hear.
「You should rest early tonight!」 Veins subtly throbbing at his temple, he responded as calmly as possible.
A seductive woman who knew how to use her beauty – he had been careless today and suffered a loss.
「You should rest early too!」 Xia Xi could barely contain the laughter in her voice.
「Don’t get too pleased too soon. If there’s a next time, I’ll definitely devour you,」 Lu Ziyi answered with a slightly muffled voice, gritting his teeth.
「Okay, okay, I’ll be waiting for you!」 Xia Xi happily provoked.
「Did I hear that wrong? Qianqiu,」 walking out from behind the smooth large desk with his hands behind his back, Lu Ziyi’s black eyes narrowed slightly, looking at the man sitting on the cream leather sofa with a face full of regret, 「you said you lost?
“Yes, I lost,” Zhao Qianqiu did not hide his annoyance at all, “It’s a waste that I offered such good conditions, but in the end, I lost to a cunning woman.”
“You lost to a woman?” Lu Ziyi repeated with a furrowed brow.
“I was really too careless,” Zhao Qianqiu, red-faced and fuming, muttered continuously, “The other party’s price was less than 2/3 of ours, and I was momentarily careless, thinking the landowner wouldn’t look her way.”
“Qianqiu, this is not like your style,” Lu Ziyi returned to his seat, his long fingers interlaced into a tower.
“What do we do now? That was my most satisfactory piece of land, and Zhen Qi’s responsible team will arrive within a month.”
“It’s my fault, truly my fault, how could I make such a big mistake, I should have kept pursuing,” Zhao Qianqiu was so excited he almost pulled out all his hair, “I shouldn’t have trusted that old man.”
“Has the other party signed the contract?” Lu Ziyi asked casually.
“Already signed.” What kindergarten nonsense, it’s driving him crazy!
“If we’re willing to bear the breach of contract fees, would the landowner be willing to sell the land to us?” Lu Ziyi raised an eyebrow.
“My idea is to raise the price further, with us covering the entire breach of contract fees.”
“There’s no way, the landowner’s mind is very resolute, he doesn’t want to sell the land to us at all,” Zhao Qianqiu answered seriously.
Pluck! Pluck! He might as well pluck out all his hair. If he becomes bald, perha
“Doesn’t want to sell the land to us?”
