A sophomore in college starts by getting a marriage certificate with a female CEO.

Li Weidong sat there, the walnut he was turning in his hand stopped.

Having been in business for so many years, he's seen it all, and he's a master at navigating the intricacies of negotiation.

But today.

I felt like a clown on a stage.

Thinking of this.

Li Weidong put down the walnuts, leaned back in his chair, and looked at Lu Yang.

He was thinking about a problem.

Just who is this kid?

Just looking at the other person's age...

He's at most in his early twenties, a college student.

What kind of background could someone that age have?

unless……

There's someone behind them.

But even though he had been in Linjiang for so long and had some contact with high society, he had never heard of such a wealthy family.

Otherwise, he wouldn't be here haggling with the other party.

Li Weidong took a breath, and the expression on his face relaxed.

"Alright."

He placed the walnuts on the table and shrugged.

"I misjudged you today. Mr. Lu is young, but he is very experienced in his work."

"Then let's stick to the original price, 600,000 a year, 1.2 million for two shops, no problem."

Upon hearing this, Wang Jianyuan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, what just happened gave him a real fright.

If the negotiations really fall apart, it won't just be a matter of losing face; it will be a sign that there's a problem with one's own competence.

To be honest, although Lu Yang looks young, he is more composed than I am, a seasoned veteran.

He used to think that Lu Yang was just lucky, with Li Xixue backing him up.

It seems that they don't need anyone's support at all.

Given time, he felt that Lu Yang's achievements would not be lower than President Li's, and might even be higher.

Of course, this is a story.

Now, let's talk about the present.

Li Weidong had already produced a contract and was ready to sign it.

"Since Mr. Lu has seen through it, let's just get straight to the point. A 10% increase should be fine, right? Consider it a tea fee."

He thought Lu Yang would agree, but to his surprise, Lu Yang just smiled and showed no intention of giving him any face: "Not a penny more."

Having no other choice, Li Weidong could only concede, "Fine! The original price it is! Is the original price acceptable?"

He picked up the contract on the table and pushed it in front of Lu Yang.

"Mr. Lu, shall we sign now?"

Lu Yang didn't move.

His fingers rested on the contract cover, but he didn't open it.

Wang Jianyuan was stunned for a moment.

Li Weidong also frowned.

"What's wrong? Do you have any other questions?"

Li Weidong couldn't help but ask.

Lu Yang raised his eyelids, looked at Li Weidong, and then at the blond-haired boy next to him.

Although Li Hongwei was very angry, he acted as if it were none of his business.

After all, he came here today to cause trouble.

"The contract can be signed."

Lu Yang spoke up: "But I have one condition."

Li Weidong's fingers stopped on the walnut, and he frowned.

"What are the conditions?"

Lu Yang's gaze fell on Li Hongwei.

"Your nephew just offended my people. Now, immediately, apologize to them."

Li Hongwei's face immediately fell.

Apologize?

What a joke.

From childhood to adulthood, Li Hongwei has always been the one to apologize to others. When did it become his turn to bow down to others?

"What did you say? You want me to apologize? Who do you think you are?"

Li Hongwei quickly stood up, and his chair slid back half a meter.

Lu Yang did not repeat it a second time.

The two sides are locked in a standoff.

Wang Jianyuan quickly moved closer to Lu Yang and then lowered his voice, saying, "President Lu... actually, it's okay for me."

Li Weidong glanced at his nephew, signaling him not to act impulsively.

"My nephew is young and doesn't understand things..."

"Then I'll teach him to be sensible today."

Lu Yang interrupted him directly.

Li Hongwei snorted coldly: "Kid, don't you even know who I, Li Hongwei, am? Today, let alone you, even if the King of Heaven himself came, he wouldn't make me apologize."

After saying that, he crossed his arms and legs, looking as if even the King of Heaven himself couldn't do anything to him.

"Mr. Lu, how about this...?"

Li Weidong was preparing to smooth things over.

next moment.

The door to the tea room was pushed open.

Everyone's eyes turned to the doorway at the same time.

Li Xixue stood there.

She was wearing a black slip dress with a small jacket over it, and her hair was styled in big waves.

It wasn't some grand entrance; I just came in because I was bored while waiting.

Li Hongwei's eyes widened in disbelief.

This woman is absolutely stunning.

To be honest, he had seen and slept with quite a few women, but there wasn't a single one as beautiful as her in the whole world.

And Li Weidong.

The walnut he was spinning in his hand fell onto the table with a thud.

He recognized him.

Li Xixue.

President of Xueyu Group.

He had met her once from afar at the Linjiang Chamber of Commerce annual meeting last year.

Although he only saw it from a distance, he couldn't possibly mistake that face.

Everyone doing business in Linjiang knows her.

But the problem is-

How did she end up here?

Did you come to the wrong place?

Li Hongwei had no idea about any of this.

The kid only saw a beautiful woman walk in.

Breathtakingly beautiful, captivating and mesmerizing.

His eyes were practically glued to the person.

He subconsciously sat up straight, reached out and touched his blond hair to make sure his hairstyle wasn't messed up.

"Miss, are you looking for someone? Do you need my help?"

Li Xixue's gaze completely bypassed him.

Finally, her gaze fell on Lu Yang: "Why did it take so long?"

Her tone was indifferent, but Lu Yang could tell that she wasn't asking about the contract.

Just as Lu Yang was about to speak, Li Xixue walked to his side and touched his forehead with the back of her hand.

"It's not burning."

She withdrew her hand and hummed in agreement.

Lu Yang's lips twitched slightly: "No, there are still people watching."

"Weren't you like this before?"

Li Xixue didn't pay attention, as if she had been infected by Lu Yang.

Lu Yang twitched the corner of his mouth. "Well, things are a little different now... I'm taking care of serious business."

"..."

Li Xixue thought about it and agreed.

"How much longer?" she asked.

"immediately."

Li Xixue hummed in agreement, didn't ask any further questions, and sat down on the sofa next to the door.

She sat down casually, crossing her legs.

He didn't look at anyone else the entire time.

Li Weidong's palms were already sweating.

Li Xixue.

How come this top figure in Linjiang's business world is with this kid?

Boy friend?

That can't be right, isn't this young lady always single?
