Su Xing sat across from Li Li, watching Zhang Tianba as he busied himself with his perverse antics, remaining silent. Unable to hold back, Su Xing cast a deep gaze at Han Ruoxi and said, "If Jing Yu knew how you were mistreating yourself, he would surely regret all the effort he put into you."
Ha, he only cares about you; why would he still be concerned about me?
The mention of this made Han Ruoxi's teeth grind in frustration. Shen Jingyu had truly stopped caring for her. Ever since that day when he had sent her away from the place where Su Xing had been kidnapped, she could no longer find the bodyguards he had arranged for her.
Yesterday, she received an invitation to a dinner with investors. When she refused, they resorted to threats, using the lifeblood of her studio to coerce her. It was then that she had no choice but to attend this dinner.
And now Su Xing was here, daring to mock her?
Han Ruoxi's anger had no outlet; beside her was an incorrigible lecher who couldn't keep his hands to himself. As he touched her repeatedly while speaking, she finally reached her breaking point and stood up abruptly.
Zhang Tianba's expression instantly turned cold. "Miss Han, are you implying that you find me undesirable?"
"N-no! I just urgently need to use the restroom; my stomach hurts. I took too many diet pills and now I have an upset stomach," Han Ruoxi stammered, genuinely frightened. She wasn't a novice in the workplace; that man was groping the edge of her chest while his hot breath brushed against her neck. She feared that if this old man lost control, he might force himself on her right there.
She couldn't even bear to think about escaping; she knew Su Xing would surely be enjoying the spectacle while simultaneously belittling her.
Indeed, Su Xing found Han Ruoxi's excuse amusing and couldn't help but chuckle. "You better hurry; otherwise, I doubt there are any spare dresses for the great actress Han here."
"You!" Han Ruoxi felt humiliated again but could only flee in embarrassment to find a restroom.
Then she would have to figure out how to escape. Shen Jingyu was indifferent to her plight; navigating through this situation in the country would be incredibly difficult for her.
There was still a backup plan—Geng Rui—but he was far away and out of reach. Moreover, Han Ruoxi's pride wouldn’t allow her to bow down before him. The reality was that Zhang Tianba was far worse than Geng Rui.
If she fell into his hands today, she feared there would be no future left for her.
Han Ruoxi crouched in the restroom like a madwoman, pacing back and forth. Her phone had been confiscated; even if she wanted to call for help now, it might already be too late.
She clearly wanted to rely on Zhang Tianba, but damn, she just couldn't bring herself to do it! And today, she had even made a fool of herself in front of Su Xing! She felt like banging her head against the wall.
Meanwhile, inside the room, normal interactions had just begun. Su Xing noticed that Zhang Tianba had quite a dual nature. As soon as Han Ruoxi left, he immediately put on a cold face, looking all righteous.
"Miss Su," he said, "it seems you and Miss Han really aren't getting along as well as they say online!"
Su Xing shot back, " boss Zhang! I didn't expect someone your age to still be surfing the internet like a young person!"
Zhang Tianba choked slightly. How old was he? In his forties, still in his prime. He thought to himself that if Han Miss couldn't handle things alone, he wouldn't mind having another Miss Su in the room tonight!
Su Xing was irritated and instinctively shot a glare at Li Li, as if blaming her for bringing such a person around. Was this the kind of person you found? Or were you just as twisted as he was?
However, Su Xing had never intended to rely on anyone else to make her way. She faced Zhang Tianba directly. "Zhang, you really love to fantasize. You've been abroad for so long that you've forgotten how strong our country’s influence is, haven’t you?"
"Hahaha, just kidding! Today we're here to discuss serious matters; we can't let these little romantic entanglements delay our cooperation. Working with someone like you, boss Zhang, I really need to think it over carefully."
After all, she was a woman; she feared she couldn't compete with such a formidable figure!
Su Xing lowered her posture. But how could Zhang Tianba not understand? She was indirectly rejecting him.
"What are you afraid of? You little girl, just come along and make money with the big brothers!" he said. "Just like Li Li here; aren't you good friends? You should know that this girl has made quite a bit of money following me!"
"Later, I'll introduce you to a mysterious figure. Then you'll see that cooperating with me is truly the best choice!"
Su Xing's heart raced at the mention of this mysterious figure; perhaps they would be the one forcing her hand!
Seeing Su Xing remain silent, Li Li took the initiative to ask Zhang Tianba on her behalf. "Zhang, you haven't told Xingxing how much bonus you're planning to give us for the land on Xinghe Street? My sister sees no sincerity from you; naturally, she's afraid to discuss cooperation!"
"Haha, my bad! I was just chatting away. Now, let's get down to business!"
However, before we begin, shouldn't we have a drink?
With a glance from Zhang Tianba, Li Li quietly stood up to pour the wine.
Fortunately, the table was large enough; otherwise, if Su Xing had to sit too close to this man, she would definitely feel nauseous.
Right now, she was just curious about who this mysterious figure was. As for collaboration, there was no way she would ever work with this group in her next life!
Zhang Tianba was stalling for time; he was waiting for someone too!
Su Xing even wondered if it was that Lawrence again. But hadn’t he made plans with his mother? What if something unexpected happened over there?
Su Xing's mind was in chaos.
At that moment, Han Ruoxi was pushed in from outside.
Su Xing's sharp eyes caught sight of two people escorting Han Ruoxi, their gazes filled with intense hostility.
That aura—she had seen it twice before from the people who had kidnapped her. It was a terrifying presence that couldn't be masked.
Not only did Su Xing feel a chill for herself, but she also began to worry for Han Ruoxi.
The thought of escape crossed her mind inexplicably.
However, what made Su Xing even more anxious was that within three minutes, the door was pushed open again.
This time, the person who entered made her head spin instantly!
Oh dear, Minister Zhou! We've been waiting for you for quite some time!
Zhang Tianba immediately stood up to greet him, his demeanor respectful and in stark contrast to his previous rogue behavior.
Oh, a familiar face!
Zhou Jingquan—the man whom Su Xing had kicked down back then—was now a high-ranking official on par with Shen Huai Min!
"Minister Zhou, long time no see."
Su Xing looked at the man and deliberately greeted him first. She reluctantly responded, feeling as if she had followed a fly into the restroom.
What troubled Su Xing even more was that beside Zhou Jingquan stood a petite woman—Lu Xiangyi!
Su Xing's dangerously intense gaze fixed on Lu Xiangyi. If it weren't for the circumstances, she would have demanded an answer from her immediately!
