“Next up, Ye Xiong.”

“Go on in!” Ye Xiong patted Wang Tong’s little shoulder.

Wang Tong’s legs went weak, almost collapsing to the ground.

“Brother Xiong, you go in, I won’t.”

In his lifetime, he had never seen such a grand scene, being used to working as a construction worker, he had never experienced such an occasion.

“Then you just wait here.”

Asking a cement worker to discuss a business deal worth hundreds of millions was really pushing it.

After knocking on the door, Ye Xiong pushed the door open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, Ye Xiong was taken aback, staring intently at the woman in front of him, not reacting for a long while.

Such a beautiful lady, is this really the mother of a four or five-year-old child?

Before going in, Ye Xiong had thought he might meet a woman with a plump rear, a thick waist, a face full of wrinkles, covered in several layers of foundation, but who could have expected such a charming woman, who didn’t look a day over twenty-six.

Maybe it was because she had been married, she exuded a mature charm that was deeply attractive.

Little did he know, as he was appraising Du Yuehua, she was also sizing him up, feeling he looked very familiar, but couldn’t recall where she had seen him before.

“How much are you willing to offer?” Xiao Mei didn’t want to waste time and asked directly.

Ye Xiong raised a finger.

“One hundred million, now that’s reasonable, at least that’s a starting point for negotiation,” Xiao Mei nodded, thinking she finally met a sensible person.

“Miss, you misunderstood, it’s not one hundred million.”

“Ten million?” Xiao Mei’s face changed abruptly, she had never met someone so shameless.

“It’s one million.” Ye Xiong corrected again.

Boom, like a thunderbolt out of the blue, it exploded in the minds of Xiao Mei and Du Yuehua.

However, Xiao Mei was stunned because of the other party’s offer, while Du Yuehua instantly recalled the source of this voice.

“Help, someone come and help.”

At the moment of being rescued, that person’s voice echoed in her mind, oh so similar to this one.

With serious scrutiny, Du Yuehua examined Ye Xiong’s face and his figure.

It’s him, it must be him.

After all the painstaking search, to find him without effort, at last, I’ve found you.

Du Yuehua felt her eyes growing a bit moist.

“Mr. Ye Xiong, are you sure you’re not feverish?” Xiao Mei resisted the urge to smash the folder on his head.

This guy thinks Mingyang International Hotel is a junkyard? One million won’t even buy a room here.

“I’m not feverish, it’s you women who get horny, especially when encountering a handsome man like me,” Ye Xiong flicked his hair and coolly said.

“Who says men don’t get horny…” Xiao Mei suddenly realized what he meant by ‘feverish’, it wasn’t about having a cold, but a woman being lustful.

That bastard, Xiao Mei suddenly felt her face flushing with anger.

“President Du, not only is this guy’s head messed up, but his thoughts are dirty as well, let him get lost!” Xiao Mei exclaimed.

But despite her calling several times, Du Yuehua didn’t respond, she couldn’t help but look over, only to see Du Yuehua gazing intently at Ye Xiong, her eyes moist, on the verge of speaking, completely unaware of her own words.

Seeing President Du staring at himself, as if she had a thousand words she couldn’t express, Ye Xiong became excited.

I’m indeed a genius, just as I guessed, a woman like her lacks the nourishment of love. There, seeing how handsome I am, she’s so moved that she’s about to cry. Could this be what they call love at first sight?

“President Du, President Du, are you feeling alright?” Xiao Mei called out several times.

“Oh, I’m fine.” Du Yuehua regained her composure and discreetly wiped the corner of her eye, saying, “I’ve just come back from the hospital, still not feeling great. Oh, Mr. Ye, where were we in our conversation?”

“What else is there to talk about? This guy offers a million, his brain must be sick,” Xiao Mei cursed.

“Xiao Mei, don’t be rude. If the price isn’t right, we can negotiate further,” Du Yuehua said.

A hotel worth over a hundred million, offered at one million, how could such a disparity be negotiated?

Xiao Mei was almost in tears. What was wrong with President Du, could it really be that seeing this guy so handsome, she got flustered?

“Mr. Ye, it’s like this, your offer is indeed ridiculously low, could you maybe increase it a bit?” Du Yuehua asked gently.

The other party was her lifesaver, and even a few extra words with him made her happy.

“I would like to add more, but I don’t have the money!” Ye Xiong scratched his head, remembering the fascinated look Du Yuehua had given him, and had an idea. “How about this? Aside from not having money, I’m quite strong in other areas. Whenever you need it, whatever you want me to do, I’ll do it?”

After speaking, he even winked at Du Yuehua, sending over a charming gaze, the subtext clear: “You know what I mean.”

Du Yuehua’s expression began to change. If he hadn’t been her savior, she would have had security throw this shameless man out long ago.

In the hospital, she had imagined countless times what her savior would be like.

Never had she expected it to be such a person; she was utterly disappointed.

“Mr. Ye Xiong, please watch your language and show respect to others, as you respect yourself,” Du Yuehua said with a touch of anger.

Ye Xiong was taken aback, thinking maybe he had misunderstood and she wasn’t interested in him?

Just as Du Yuehua was about to continue speaking, the door to the room was suddenly kicked open, and several tall, tattooed men strode in.

As the men walked in, they crossed their arms and looked snobbishly down their noses, as if afraid that others wouldn’t notice how fierce they were.

“President Du, did you not take Brother Bao’s words to heart?” The leader, a tall and broad man with a wide mouth, said arrogantly.

“Who let you in, get out,” Du Yuehua ordered angrily.

“Listen closely, widow, I’m warning you once more – this hotel is booked by our Brother Bao. Aside from him, you’re not allowed to sell it to anyone,” the big-mouthed man threatened.

“It’s my hotel, I’ll transfer it to whoever I like, and nobody else has any say in it.”

“Like to transfer, eh? For every person that comes, I will beat one. The group outside, that’ll be your fate,” the big-mouthed man said with a smirk.

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiong quickly stood up and ran to the door.

He saw that all the people who had come for the bidding were lying on the ground, moaning continuously, clearly having been beaten up by this group.

Wang Tong was lying on the ground, his condition unknown.

“Wang Tong, wake up,” Ye Xiong hurried over.

When Wang Tong opened his eyes and saw Ye Xiong, he said anxiously, “Brother Xiong, run, these guys are not to be messed with.”

“Where did they hit you?” Ye Xiong asked.

“Don’t worry about that now, just get me out of here,” said Wang Tong urgently.

“I’m asking you where they hit you!” Ye Xiong shouted.

His shout was like thunder on a clear day, turning everyone’s attention toward him.

At that moment, a flood of inexplicable anger surged in Ye Xiong’s heart.

He had promised Aunt Wang to take good care of Wang Tong. He hadn’t imagined that in such a short time, Wang Tong would be beaten to the point he couldn’t get up. If he could swallow this grievance.

“I got punched in the face and kicked in the stomach twice,” Wang Tong replied, touching his swollen mouth.

“Who hit you?” Ye Xiong asked again.

A mocking voice came from behind: “I did. What about it, got a problem with that?”
