Chapter 624: Extra 037 Xin Zaozao, the real strong is not disguised (one more update)
Xin Zaozao left before the dinner banquet ended.
After several inquiries with Zhan Wencheng, she knew very well that cooperation with Zhan Wencheng was unlikely. There were many other corporations involved in artificial intelligence, only that cooperating outside of Jin City would be troublesome. However, it wasn’t unfeasible. After Xin Zaozao understood this, she left early.
Song Lifei continued to socialize in the banquet hall.
Xin Zaozao was driven home by her driver.
Mu Cidian had just finished dinner. He didn’t expect Xin Zaozao to come back so early.
He froze for a moment, then stepped forward and took her handbag.
Xin Zaozao changed her shoes, then tiredly went straight towards the sofa in the living room.
Mu Cidian poured her a glass of lemonade and placed it in front of her.
Xin Zaozao glanced at him and picked up the lemonade to drink.
“Do you want to take a bath? I can run the bath for you,” Mu Cidian asked her.
Xin Zaozao shook her head, “I just want to sit for a while.”
“Do you want to watch TV?”
“I just want to sit in silence.”
“Okay.”
Mu Cidian rose and left.
He did not wish to disturb her.
“Mu Cidian.” Xin Zaozao suddenly called out to him.
Mu Cidian turned around.
“Do you know how to massage?”
Mu Cidian thought for a bit, “I can try.”
“Can you massage my feet for me? They hurt.” Xin Zaozao lay down on the sofa.
To look good, she had worn a pair of extremely high heels today.
If she had stood a bit longer, her feet would have probably given up on her.
Mu Cidian squatted down, lifted Xin Zaozao’s feet, and gently massaged the soles of her feet.
Xin Zaozao lay on the couch, her gaze fixed on the ceiling above her. At the moment, her mind was occupied with thoughts about Yanmen’s smart hotel, which was already under construction. As soon as she fell behind, she would lose the opportunity to lead the market, wouldn’t be able to impress instantly, and the publicity would lag behind…
She blinked her eyes.
Mu Cidian’s massage had moved up from her sole to her slender calf.
Xin Zaozao glanced at him and saw that he was very serious, so she didn’t say much.
At this moment, her mind was still thinking about how to complete the construction first. Naturally, the best way was to cooperate with Zhan Wencheng. Once the Xin Family and Zhan Wencheng collaborated, Yanmen would not have a partner and their construction would be delayed. Unfortunately, Zhan Wencheng was reluctant to break the contract.
Xin Zaozao furrowed her brows, clearly showing signs of agitation.
Mu Cidian dared not ask. Even if he did, he wouldn’t get a satisfactory answer. He continued to dutifully massage Xin Zaozao from the sole of her foot to her calf to her thigh…
Xin Zaozao’s phone suddenly rang.
Xin Zaozao reached out her hand.
The phone was on the coffee table. Xin Zaozao, lying down, found it hard to reach for it.
Mu Cidian picked it up for her, and saw the name “Zhan Wencheng” on the screen.
He knew Zhan Wencheng; they had interacted before, and he understood Zhan Wencheng’s habits quite clearly.
Was Xin Zaozao aiming to cooperate with Zhan Wencheng now?
Mu Cidian pursed his lips and continued to massage Xin Zaozao’s foot.
Xin Zaozao looked at the caller ID, answered the phone and said, “Mr. Zhan.”
“Chairman Xin left so early?”
“Didn’t I have something come up, so I came back early. Mr. Zhan, you’re looking for me?”
“Look at you, we haven’t finished discussing our cooperation and you’ve left?” Zhan Wencheng seemed rather disappointed.
“Weren’t you the one who said you’d already reached an agreement with Yanmen?”
“It’s just a verbal agreement, nothing’s been signed yet. If Xin Family were truly sincere about wanting to cooperate with me, I might reconsider.”
“Of course, Xin Family wants to sincerely cooperate. Tomorrow morning, I’ll come to your office to find you.”
“Just one look at Chairman Xin and I can tell you’re not being sincere. Why wait until tomorrow? I’m waiting for you right now.”
Xin Zaozao became silent.
“What’s wrong? Chairman Xin doesn’t want to cooperate anymore?”
“No, it’s just that… it’s quite late now…”
“It’s not late. I’m someone who prefers to discuss work at night. If Chairman Xin is willing, I can come pick you up now. Where are you?” Zhan Wencheng’s attitude was a bit aggressive.
Xin Zaozao continued to politely refuse, “I’m not feeling well tonight, that’s why I left early. Tomorrow morning, as soon as you start work, I’ll definitely be waiting outside your office.”
“Since Chairman Xin is only that sincere, there isn’t much left for us to discuss. That’s that.”
“Mr. Zhan.” Xin Zaozao called out to him.
Mu Cidian watched her from the side.
Xin Zaozao said, “Where are you, I’ll come to you. How can I trouble you to pick me up?”
On hearing Xin Zaozao’s invitation, he laughed, “Picking up a beautiful woman would be my honor. Chairman Xin, just give me your address and I’ll come pick you up.”
Xin Zaozao thought for a while, “Well, then I’ll acquiesce to your proposition. I’ll send my address to you.”
“See you in a bit.”
“See you in a bit.”
Xin Zaozao hung up the phone.
She took a deep breath and sat up from the sofa.
Mu Cidian watched as Xin Zaozao headed directly towards the entrance.
She took out her lipstick and touched up her makeup in the foyer.
While she was doing her makeup, she dialed Song Lifei, “Song Lifei, come wait for me downstairs at my place right now. Zhan Wencheng wants to see me.”
“Now?”
“Yes.”
“Xin Zaozao, don’t tell me you have no idea what that old lecher Zhan Wencheng is after.”
“That’s why I need you to accompany me.”
“What if he really wants to sleep with you?” Song Lifei was straightforward.
“I know how to handle it.”
“Xin Zaozao, it’s just a small cooperation. It wouldn’t be much of a loss to Xin Family. Are you planning to sell yourself for it?”
“I don’t want to miss any chance of success.”
“Do you realize that the reason you’re struggling so much is because you feel insecure?” Song Lifei was brutally honest, “What you need at this moment is not to turning into some impervious fortress, but to find a man to rely on.”
“My sense of security can only be granted by me and me alone. Stop nagging.” Xin Zaozao appeared somewhat impatient, “Hurry up and come.”
After saying that, she immediately hung up the phone.
Xin Zaozao put down her lipstick and adjusted her outfit, which was sexy and revealing and still not taken off.
She took a deep breath, grabbed her handbag, opened the door, and was just about to step out.
“Xin Zaozao.” Mu Cidian pulled her back.
Xin Zaozao frowned, “What is it?” freēnovelkiss.com
“Zhan Wencheng is a bad egg.”
“No need for your reminders.”
“He’s going back on what he promised you now. Whatever you’re trying to negotiate with him won’t get you anywhere.”
“Do I need your advice on how to handle things?” Xin Zaozao’s expression darkens.
“There are many ways to collaborate with Zhan Wencheng, selling yourself in such a way is the lowest and most useless method.”
“Are you trying to lecture me now?” Xin Zaozao scoffs.
“I’m just telling you, everything you’re doing tonight is futile, and I have a better way to help you.”
Xin Zaozao pushes Mu Cidian away, “I might trust anyone’s words in this world, but yours and Wan Quan’s—I won’t believe a word.”
“Xin Zaozao.” Mu Cidian grabs her again.
Xin Zaozao glares at him.
“Don’t go.”
“Let go.”
“I promise you, I can help you nail this deal with Zhan Wencheng. You don’t have to seduce him tonight. Isn’t his intention for calling you out at this hour evident enough?”
“That’s my business, let go of me!”
“Would you go as far as to sell yourself just for a collaboration?” Mu Cidian looks disgruntled.
“Aren’t you doing the same thing?” Xin Zaozao retorts sarcastically.
Mu Cidian presses his lips together.
“Aren’t you selling yourself for a tad bit of money too?” Xin Zaozao shouts, “Wan Quan is correct, I climbed to my position now by depending on men, and it is through sleeping my way up!”
Mu Cidian watches Xin Zaozao with a darkened expression.
“Mu Cidian, let go of me!” The rage in Xin Zaozao’s voice is evident.
“You don’t have to sleep your way to get this contract! I guarantee you I can get you the deal, I have Zhan Wencheng…”
“Enough!” Xin Zaozao interrupts him, “What I do is my business, you’re just a man I’m taking care of, don’t forget your place! You just need to figure out how to please me, especially in bed!”
Mu Cidian stares at her intensely.
“Let go!” Xin Zaozao is done arguing with Mu Cidian.
She pushes Mu Cidian away with all her might.
But Mu Cidian refuses to let go of her.
“Mu Cidian, let me go!” Xin Zaozao keeps pushing him.
Mu Cidian remains unmoved.
Xin Zaozao opens her mouth and fiercely bites down on the back of Mu Cidian’s hand.
She bites down hard.
She even tastes the metallic flavor of blood.
But at that moment, Mu Cidian still didn’t let go.
The phone suddenly rings.
With bloodshot eyes, Xin Zaozao loosens her bite.
She retrieves her phone with her other hand and seeing “Zhan Wencheng” flashing on her screen, she takes a deep breath and answers, “Mr. Zhan.”
She tries to keep her voice as normal as possible, even making it sound a bit flirtatious.
Zhan Wencheng says, “Chairwoman Xin, I’m downstairs. Are you coming down?”
“I’ll be down in a moment…Bang!”
Xin Zaozao watches as Mu Cidian throws her phone to the ground, shattering it into pieces, creating a loud noise.
“Mu Cidian, have you gone mad? Are you insane!” Xin Zaozao curses in anger.
Mu Cidian abruptly pulls Xin Zaozao towards him.
Xin Zaozao glares at him, “Mu Cidian, who do you think you are, what makes you think…Get out…Um…”
Mu Cidian silences her with a kiss.
Xin Zaozao tries to resist.
No matter how much she struggles, she’s still firmly pinned against the wall by Mu Cidian, unable to break free.
“Mu Cidian, let go of me, do you even know what you’re doing…who do you think you are… let go of me…”
Mu Cidian pins her ruthlessly against the wall, leaving Xin Zaozao completely immobile.
His lips frenziedly explore her face, kissing, covering her lips multiple times but are being repeatedly pushed away by Xin Zaozao’s resistance.
“Um…Ah…Mu Cidian, damn it, stop it…Mu Cidian…” Xin Zaozao resists with all her might.
At this moment.
The elevator door bursts open.
Song Lifei appears at the entrance.
Seeing Zhan Wencheng downstairs but still not seeing Xin Zaozao, he attempts to persuade her once more before she heads down.
He really doesn’t believe that Xin Zaozao would sleep with such a man just for a contract.
Over the years, Xin Zaozao has used many extreme ways to negotiate deals, but she never once used her body!
This man is not worth it.
However, at this moment.
Song Lifei is stunned.
He just stands there, watching the scenario before him.
Seeing Mu Cidian evidently forcing Xin Zaozao into submission.
Xin Zaozao’s resistance seems futile under Mu Cidian’s restraint.
Xin Zaozao seems to notice Song Lifei too at that moment.
She shouts at Song Lifei, “Help me push him away.”
Song Lifei clenches his fists.
He’s outraged at this moment, never expecting to witness such a scene where Mu Cidian forces Xin Zaozao.
He raises his fist.
Mu Cidian notices Song Lifei at this moment too.
He still doesn’t let go of Xin Zaozao.
Not just that, he holds her even tighter, hoping to hide Xin Zaozao’s revealing clothes that have become even more exposed due to their struggle.
He kisses Xin Zaozao’s lips intensely.
At this moment, it seemed like he was prepared for Song Lifei’s punch to hit him at any second.
In the next second.
Instead of the punch he was expecting, the door slams shut.
Xin Zaozao is stunned.
Mu Cidian also freezes.
Song Lifei slams the door shut, leaning against it as if preventing himself from regretting his actions.
“Song Lifei!” Xin Zaozao breaks away from Mu Cidian’s lips and yells at him.
Song Lifei says, “Better Mu Cidian take care of you properly than being violated by that old man.”
“Song Lifei, have you gone mad?”
“You’re the one who’s mad!” Song Lifei shouts, “Just because you’ve always lacked a sense of security, just because you fear losing, you’ve been working like a madwoman all these years, madly challenging yourself to do things you can’t do, madly pretending to be a strong woman! Xin Zaozao, a real strong person isn’t you, isn’t someone who forces herself to become someone she’s not! Tonight, I won’t help you leave this door, I will even go downstairs and tell Zhan Wencheng to get lost!”
