120 How Dare You Try To Negotiate Terms With Me? (2/2)

You initiated a deal, so shouldn't a deal benefit both parties?

Sure enough, she didn't expect much from this 'deal'.

But he was aware that she was no longer officially his secretary so it was hard to give her commands. He was merely using a tactic to spare himself from begging her for help.

This stupid fool, he should have a bargaining chip to persuade me to agree to the deal. She wasn't dumb enough to accept it.

Since he was loaded, he could have offered a million or two. She might have agreed.

She noticed his expression darkening and he looked like he might hurl his ashtray at any minute. Xuxu's insides shuddered and she thought that it'd be best if she left now.

”President Yan, if there's nothing else then I'll make a move first.”

Taking her leave, she turned around and strode towards the door.

Suddenly, Yan Rusheng spoke in a tone of 'compromise' from behind her. Yes, it was a 'compromise'—he wasn't admitting defeat.

”Wen Xuxu, help me with this and I'll put in a good word for you to Jiang Zhuoheng and persuade him to get engaged with you soon.”

Wen Xuxu halted her footsteps; her body was frozen stiff.

”How does that sound?” Yan Rusheng saw that she had stopped in her tracks. He assumed that she was interested and was mulling over his offer.

His delight was mixed with an unfathomable emotion. It was a familiar feeling of annoyance.

What's so good about Jiang Zhuoheng? At any mention of his name, this woman can't even move.

Xuxu took a deep breath and turned around unhurriedly. She looked at this man with beautiful features and smiled briefly. ”Thank you, President Yan, but there's no need for that.”

And with that, she left without turning back.

She walked with confidence and determination, her long skirt billowing around her.

The office door opened and shut once again and everything instantly quietened down. Yan Rusheng's chest tightened with gloominess for no apparent reason.
