“Okay, okay.” Qin Benyuan took a sip of coffee and then his eyes lit up. “The coffee is really good. It’s so tasty.”

Tang Xi smiled. “My taste has changed a bit recently. This is Nescafe instant coffee.”

Qin Benyuan’s face froze, but soon he smiled again. “Xixi, you really understand the art of life. In fact, the expensive imported coffee is not very delicious. It’s too bitter. Drinking instant coffee can relax yourself, and relax your tongue.”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows, took a sip of coffee and smiled. “Yes, life is already stressful enough. Isn’t it too fatiguing if we are in a constant state of stress?”

Qin Benyuan who was in that constant state of stress, “…” Damn it! Is she deliberately saying this to annoy me?!

But he didn’t reveal any traces of his thoughts. He smiled, took out a document from his briefcase and said with a fawning smile. “Xixi, I think what you said yesterday is right. The Empire Group should get returns from its investment. This is the bonus statement that I asked our financial department to make overnight. You should get more than eighty million yuan, but recently our company is investing in a project, so we don’t have the cash. I can only mortgage several properties of mine to you. When I have enough cash, I’ll pay you the money and redeem the properties. How do you think of it?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows at Qin Benyuan, and the latter smiled and took three more documents from another folder.

Tang Xi took a glance at the documents, gave a faint smile and said gently, “Uncle Qin, since you’re so sincere, I won’t push you anymore. As you’ve calculated, it’s more than eighty million yuan, and I have to explain to our shareholders. It’s me who approved the investments on your company, so I have to make sure we will get return from these investments. After all, it’s Empire Group’s money. I hope your project can go successfully, so that the shareholders won’t blame me. You know, we’ve invested way more than eighty million yuan in your company.”

With that, Tang Xi handed the documents to the servant. The latter put them away and stood aside respectfully. Tang Xi stood up and looked at Qin Benyuan who was about to speak. “I’m going to the company. Are you leaving with me, Uncle Qin?”

Qin Benyuan’s eyes lit up and he was about to nod, when Tang Xi’s cell phone rang. Tang Xi looked at the caller ID, raised her eyebrows and said to Qin Benyuan, “Sorry, I have to answer a phone call. I’ll have the servant send you out.” As soon as she picked up the phone, Chu Ling’s growl was heard. “You darn girl, if you don’t come back right now, I’ll smash your company! Come and take a look at the stupid designs of your company’s designers! Even worse than yours! How did you have the nerve to tell me you wanted to participate at Fashion Week?!”

Tang Xi moved her cell phone far away from her ears and didn’t bring it back until Chu Ling finished growling. “I’m out on business and I can’t go back now. You can decide on these matters. As for the designs of our designers, pick some that you think might work. After all, we’re a new company. Creativity is the most important thing for us. I have faith in your taste. I go back this evening and I’ll go to the company as soon as I arrive.”

Without giving Chu Ling the time to speak, Tang Xi hurriedly hung up the phone. At this time, the servant handed her the documents. Tang Xi looked at them. They were mortgage certificates of the properties Qin Benyuan just mentioned. Tang Xi raised her eyebrows and shook her head with a smile. “President Qin, why are you in such a hurry…”

He gave the money to her so easily? Was he really a mature businessman? He just gave her the money because of several words she had said?

The servant looked at her confused. Tang Xi made a phone call holding the documents. “Ask Mr. He to wait for me in his office and I’ll be there in half an hour.”

Tang Xi walked out of the Empire Garden only to see Qin Benyuan was still there. She raised her eyebrows and walked towards him. “President Qin, anything else?”

“Well…” Qin Benyuan repeated the capital injection matter to her again. Tang Xi smiled. “Uncle Qin, I’ll try to convince the shareholders when I go to the company. After all, you’ve shown me your sincerity, so I must help you, but you know, this company doesn’t merely belong to me. I don’t have the final say. I have to persuade the shareholders before I make any decisions. You can understand me, right?

“Yes, yes.” Qin Benyuan nodded with a smile. “Thank you, Xixi. Then I’ll wait for the good news from you.”

Tang Xi nodded and turned to get into her car. Qin Benyuan saw the car off, smiled and said complacently, “She is still a little girl. I can easily manipulate her with some bait and good words.”

Little Six saw Qin Benyuan smiling smugly from the rear-view mirror and he asked Tang Xi, “Miss Tang, why did you agree to his request?”

Tang Xi who was reading documents took a look at Little Six, smiled and raised her eyebrows as she asked, “I promised him I would ‘try to’ convince the shareholders, but they won’t necessarily be convinced by me.”

Little Six looked surprised and stared at her with wide open eyes. “Did you try to make him believe he could easily manipulate you, Miss Tang?”

Tang Xi smiled. “We don’t have to burst his bubble, since he is so confident of himself. That would be too cruel to him. Let’s be nice to him.”

Little Six nodded. “Yes, you’re right.”

Tang Xi took a look at Little Six from the rear-view mirror, ordering, “Go to Yiyang Law Firm on Binhai Road. I have something to tend to over there.”

Little Six took a surprised look at her, but he didn’t say anything and drove towards Yiyang Law Firm.

When Tang Xi reached Yiyang Law Firm, He Yiyang had waited for her on the gate. When he saw Tang Xi, he came up to her with all smiles. “President Tang, I was so worried about you when you were not around.”

Tang Xi smiled and asked, “Have you prepared the documents?”

“Yes. If you don’t have any problems, I can have it notarized right away.” He Yiyang led Tang Xi into his office as he asked, “Why do you suddenly want to transfer all your properties to the person named Xiao Rou? May I ask what your relationship with her is?”

Tang Xi raised her eyebrows. “She saved my life.” Then she looked up at He Yiyang and smiled. “If it hadn’t been for this Xiao Rou, I might have been dead already.”
