”Are you alright, Sister Hua?” Ye Xiong was knocking on the door to Du Yuehua's room.

”I'm fine… I'm just a little tired. I'm going to take a nap, so please, return to work!” Du Yuehua ushered.

”Alright, I'll take my leave then. Remember our promise, I'd better get that kiss when you lose,” Ye Xiong reminded teasingly.

”Hurry up and go, you're almost out of time,” Du Yuehua urged.

Honestly speaking though, she strongly doubted that Ye Xiong would be able to complete the task as the client was extremely difficult to deal with. So much so that even if she had personally negotiated with the client, she still felt that her odds of success would only be 50-50. As such, she felt that there was no way that Ye Xiong, who with the assistance of Lil Mei's broken English, would be able to pick up the client.

With these thoughts still echoing in her mind, Du Yuehua climbed onto her bed and fell into a deep slumber. By the time she woke up, she realized that she had overslept and that the time was already around seven in the evening.

She hurriedly dug out her phone from underneath her pillow and noticed that she had missed a dozen phone calls. She found it odd that she had not been startled awake by the calls.

She tinkered around with her phone and noticed that it had been switched to vibrate mode without her knowledge.

Without even needing to think about it, she knew that it was definitely Ye Xiong's work. He must have switched her phone to vibrate mode while she was not paying attention.

'I didn't expect that carefree b*stard to be so meticulous. He had even considered the case where I'm startled awake by my phone.' Suddenly, a bad premonition dawned on her.

Du Yuehua quickly brought out her phone and dialed Lil Mei's phone number. The only thing that she wished to know at that moment was the result of the negotiations.

”Lil Mei, what's the progress regarding the client?” Du Yuehua asked.

”No clue.”

Lil Mei's angry voice reverberated from the phone. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.

Turns out, Lil Mei had not accompanied Ye Xiong during his meal with the client. As a matter of fact, Ye Xiong had taken it upon himself to meet the client, and he had not even informed her about his actions. It was only after thoroughly searching that Lil Mei found out where Ye Xiong had taken the client to. He had taken the client for a stroll in Luo City.

What kind of place was Luo City, you ask? It was an entertainment city where foot massages, footbaths, and saunas were all bundled into a single package. It was heaven for males, but hell for females 1 . Not only had Ye Xiong not brought the client to visit their hotel, he had brought the client for a ”therapeutic” session. How could Du Yuehua not be outraged at this?

”How's he going to communicate with the client without your help?” Du Yuehua asked in a puzzled tone.

”He might've hired an interpreter. We'll know the answer once he reports on his costs,” Lil Mei spat bitterly.

”That's enough, I understand the situation now.”

Du Yuehua hung up and dialed Ye Xiong's number immediately. Much to her chagrin, however, he had turned off his phone.

”I should've guessed that he would turn off his phone. He's in Luo City after all. That rascal really isn't able to carry out anything positive, is he?” Du Yuehua complained furiously as she threw her phone onto the table.

Every shred of respect that he had gained earlier was now gone.

It was at this moment, however, that her phone suddenly rang. It was the client.

Du Yuehua hastily answered the call, and she nervously explained in English, ”Mr. Klien, let me first apologize on behalf of my employee. I'll make sure to heavily discipline him when he gets back…”

”What's there to discipline? Mr. Ye is amazing! Ms Du, I've already made my decision. I'll go to your hotel and sign the contract first thing in the morning.”

”Wait, what? Contract?” Du Yuehua was caught off guard. It took a while for her to recompose herself, but when she had finally done so, she meekly asked, ”Mr. Klein, is Ye Xiong…”

”Mr. Ye Xiong is an excellent companion. He's very good. I'm extremely pleased with his service. Also, his English is extremely good. I'm truly pleased… We shall meet again tomorrow, Ms Du.”

Du Yuehua stood like a log after she hung up the phone. She was finding it hard to come to terms with the new circumstances.

'Ye Xiong knows how to speak English?'

'He even managed to bring in such a difficult client!'

She had not expected the carefree rascal to be so capable. After all, as mentioned previously, she had doubted even her own abilities to bring the customer in.

At that instant, her phone rang. It was a call from Ye Xiong.

”Sister Hua, are there any leftovers? I'm about to die of starvation.” Ye Xiong's listless voice echoed from the phone.

”Where are you now?”

”I just left Luo City. I've got no clue where Klein gets his stamina from. Not only did he hire two escorts, but he even lasted over two hours. I've waited for so long that I almost fell asleep.”
