After Being Betrayed I Married the Glamorous CEO-Chapter 218: Kid, you’re definitely dead this time, I’m telling you!
Su Xiyang could tell Shen Fanyun had more to say, so she waited quietly for him to continue.
Shen Fanyun said, "Haven’t you noticed? This whole partnership is riddled with strange and illogical aspects."
Su Xiyang furrowed her brows but remained silent.
Shen Fanyun added, "Given the scale of your company, and the fact that it was established less than a year ago, it hasn’t been tested by the market at all. Why would a company like Hong Hai Capital suddenly take such a serious interest in you?"
Su Xiyang remained silent. What Shen Fanyun said was true. If Hong Hai Capital chose to partner with her, it must have been because they saw her potential. However, her company was still in its growth phase; its potential was still unknown. For them to suddenly rush over from Capital City with a contract and even dispatch a top executive for direct negotiations... 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
Previously, she had been too thrilled by the attention from a major corporation to think clearly, but looking back now... It seems completely unreasonable, doesn’t it?
Moreover, she had reviewed the contract several times and found significant loopholes that were nothing but word games. If she had signed it carelessly, the consequences would have been unimaginable. Luckily, Su Xiyang had held back. Otherwise, she would now be a fish on Hong Hai Capital’s chopping block. At this thought, she sucked in a sharp breath, a deep sense of belated fear washing over her.
Could it be that someone is setting me up? The realization finally dawned on Su Xiyang. If she considered the possibility that someone was setting a trap, using Hong Hai Capital to completely crush her, then everything made perfect sense. Someone from Capital City?
The next second, Su Xiyang’s eyes narrowed, and she flared up in anger. "Wang Qing!"
Apart from that self-important, arrogant woman who thinks the whole world should be under her thumb, who else could it be? That Wang Qing would truly stop at nothing to make her go to Capital City willingly. She had even leveraged her connections with Hong Hai Capital.
"You’re pretty smart," Shen Fanyun praised, gently patting Su Xiyang’s head.
Su Xiyang let out a long breath, her expression flickering with uncertainty. For a moment, she felt utterly disheartened. It seemed she had truly misplaced her sincere feelings for Hong Hai Capital. She had thought they were genuinely interested in her company, but no, it turned out they were just in cahoots with Wang Qing to bully a young woman like her.
Shen Fanyun continued, "That pig in there thinks he can use Hong Hai Capital’s prestigious name to coerce you into doing things that weren’t part of the deal."
From Yuan Chong’s perspective, getting the contract signed was the main objective, but it was never explicitly stated that minor "incidents" couldn’t occur along the way. So, the moment he saw Su Xiyang’s beauty, he began to harbor ulterior motives. He never expected Su Xiyang to confront him head-on, willing to abandon the contract and even give him a severe tongue-lashing for the sake of her principles. This whole ordeal made it unlikely the contract would be signed, naturally obstructing the plans that were to follow. The person who should be panicking now was Yuan Chong.
"That damn bastard, it serves him right." Su Xiyang said, adjusting her mood. "I’d love to see how he explains this failure."
She no longer dwelled on Wang Qing’s scheme but instead contemplated Yuan Chong’s next move. That fat, greasy bastard was far too arrogant. Did he really think that just because of his high position within Hong Hai Capital, he could do as he pleased? That a single word from him would be enough to make her, Su Xiyang, throw herself into his arms? He’s so ugly. How could those women who throw themselves at him even stomach it?
"Since this contract was fishy from the start, there’s no point in dwelling on it," Su Xiyang said, taking the initiative. "Come on, let’s go shopping." It had been a long time since she had gone shopping, and she happened to have some free time today. She didn’t want an insignificant person to ruin her plans and her good mood.
Wang Qing, what I, Su Xiyang, hate most in life is when people try to boss me around and orchestrate my life. You’ve seriously miscalculated this time. My impression of you is getting worse and worse!
At the same time, she cast a calm glance at Shen Fanyun, grateful he was there. This old lecher... he gives me an overwhelming sense of security, something I’ve never felt before. With Shen Fanyun around, it feels like I won’t panic, worry, or be afraid, no matter what problem I face.
At this thought, Su Xiyang subconsciously tightened her grip on Shen Fanyun’s hand in an affectionate gesture.
"What’s up?" Shen Fanyun asked, puzzled.
"You may be an old lecher, but you’re really good to me. Extremely good. When things go wrong, you actually step up," Su Xiyang remarked, moved.
Shen Fanyun was speechless. Was she complimenting me or insulting me? If you’re going to praise someone, do it properly. What’s all this nonsense about being an ’old lecher’?
Yuan Chong sat up with great effort. It took a long, long time before the pain in his body finally began to subside. The words Shen Fanyun had left him with still echoed in his ears. Setting aside how Shen Fanyun could have possibly learned these internal details, his mission was not only incomplete but now seemed doomed to fail.
Before coming to Hangcheng City, both he and the company’s top brass had assumed it would be a piece of cake. After all, the golden reputation of Hong Hai Capital was incredibly influential. They thought they could close the deal effortlessly, with little to no discussion.
But now? It had turned into an arduous task that was nearly impossible to complete.
And this was all because Yuan Chong had harbored wicked thoughts, step by step pushing Su Xiyang into direct opposition with Hong Hai Capital. Now, Su Xiyang probably feels nothing but revulsion and disgust at the very mention of the name ’Hong Hai Capital,’ right?
"That damn bitch! It’s all your fault! If you had just complied obediently, none of this would have happened. And the worst part, you fucking bitch, is that you let your companion beat me! Hah, this score between us is far from settled!"
Yuan Chong considered grimly. If the soft approach won’t work, I’ll have to get rough. Anyway, the only thing that matters is getting Su Xiyang’s signature on the contract. The methods are irrelevant. If things blow up, Hong Hai Capital has ways to handle the fallout. Besides, my mission is just to get her signature. Who said I had to be polite and coddle her during the process?!
"Fine, Su Xiyang. Since you showed no mercy, don’t blame me for being ruthless," Yuan Chong gritted his teeth, already meticulously plotting his next move to ensure success. He needed to find some influential backup here in Hangcheng City. Going it alone is too risky. You can never guarantee some idiot won’t disregard your prominent status and just start swinging! Like that Shen Fanyun. That kid needs to be taught a lesson, too. An executive from Hong Hai Capital is always treated with reverence, served hand and foot. Who the hell gets beaten up in public? It’s humiliating enough to make one want to die!
Yuan Chong was the first to break this tradition at Hong Hai Capital. What rotten luck. The worst luck imaginable!
Kid, I’ll make you pay for this. You and Su Xiyang... neither of you is getting away!
