rld. His deep and handsome face was always sharp and tense, noble and aloof, with few words spoken. That sense of pressure could cause the temperature of the surrounding air to plummet instantly.Xu Qi...Chapter 22: Addicted to Pretending Innocence

"Of course not!"

"Has your friend told you if this man is any good If he's no good, forget about it!"

Xu Qinghuan subconsciously replied, "That's not the case."

"Has your friend ever discussed this with you" Fu Jiajia's eyes widened, she was really excited to talk about this topic. "Don't beat around the bush, which friend are you talking about"

"Oh, you don't know him, he's a classmate from long ago." Xu Qinghuan was afraid she had said too much and quickly changed the subject. "By the way, I made an appointment with the person in charge of the Huaye project today. Are you free"

Fu Jiajia smacked her lips, a little embarrassed. "No way today, the headquarters sent down the supplementary payment for Han Yang, and I have to go there."

"It's fine, I'll go myself."

Xu Qinghuan tidied up, printed out the list of third-party companies sent by Fu Yan at the email and integrated it into a folder. Then she glanced at the time and headed to the agreed location.

The person in charge of Hua Ye is a middle-aged man. Although he's getting up there in years, he looks well-maintained and fashionable. He even speaks with a bit of a dialect.

"The risk of these third-party loans, shouldn't all of us be responsible for it"

The moment he opened his mouth, it was clear he wasn't someone to be messed with.

Of course, it also hit them just as their three groups needed this project.

Although the risk is high, the return on investment is indeed attractive.

"Mr. Wang, but reaching the amount stated in your company's investment guarantee letter was originally HuaYe's contractual responsibility." Xu Qinghuan smiled and passed over a copy of the guarantee letter, speaking carefully, "Shengshi has definitely shown our utmost sincerity. We believe that HuaYe also wants to do everything possible to push this project forward, so Mr. Chen came up with this solution."

"Hmph." Wang always didn't give her any face, sizing up Xu Qinghuan from head to toe before saying, "Since the final contract wasn't signed and your Shengshi company is still mocking us about the amount in the guarantee letter, then I suggest we just forget about it! Fu Corporation is so big, Huayue can't possibly afford to associate with them."

As he was about to leave, Xu Qinghuan hurriedly got up and said, "Mr. Wang, please wait!"

This time he truly stopped, but deliberately took a few steps forward, trapping Xu Qinghuan entirely in the corner of the private room.

"Huh Is there something else"

Xu Qinghuan furrowed her brows, her face paling at his approach. A sense of alarm surged through her, and she lowered her head, desperately searching for an opening to escape.

Who would have thought that Wang always directly grasped her wrist, the smile on his face changing from disdain just now to being obscene, "You told me not to leave, and now you're avoiding me again, what do you mean"

"Let go!" She strained with all her might, but he, a grown man, wouldn't budge.

"Still playing the innocent card Fine, I don't think this is a good place to talk business. How about we find somewhere else"

As he spoke, he was about to forcibly drag her away.

In a moment of desperation, Xu Qinghuan didn't care about anything else. She directly raised her leg and kicked him hard in his vital area —

Wang immediately clutched his face in pain, his features contorted in agony. He then raised his hand and slapped the other person hard!

"You filthy woman! I'll kill you!"

This slap was a man's full-force blow.

Xu Qinghuan was caught off guard and bumped directly into the wall. Her vision began to blur.

But she knew that she wasn't safe at the moment, so relying on her memory, she tried to walk towards the exit of the room.

Suddenly!

She felt a pair of big hands encircle her from the front!

Instinctively, Xu Qinghuan wanted to struggle, until a cold yet gentle voice reached her ear from Fu Yan's lips. It was like a hallucination in the mist.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid... It's me, I'm here." baffled. She thought there would be some explosive news, but this was itInstead, Xu Qinghuan seemed to have been granted a reprieve. She opened her mouth, her voice dry and raspy, "..... My room has...
