"That's right!"
Han Xiyao's tone was firm, leaving no room for doubt. "You must apologize for what you just did."
Zhang Yang wore a wry smile, his heart filled with mixed emotions.
He had only been at the Han Corporation for three days.
Yet, during these days, he had been constantly helping Han Xiyao resolve her troubles.
Zhang Yang was certain that if he hadn't intervened with the Guan and Luo families,
Han Xiyao alone would have struggled to handle the Qin family.
She would have been completely dominated by Han Wenkang!
But then.
What had his all-around efforts earned him?
Zhang Yang stared at Han Xiyao with disappointment, saying with a bitter smile.
"I will never apologize, because I did nothing wrong!"
After saying that.
Zhang Yang turned and slammed the door shut as he left!
"You..." Han Xiyao was stunned for a moment.
Zhang Yang's gaze gave her a feeling.
Had she been too harsh on Zhang Yang?
But then she thought.
Zhang Yang had attacked Nangong Yi without understanding the situation, disrupting her plans.
Han Xiyao was also furious, her chest heaving!
Let him leave if he wants to!
What's the big deal!
Wu De and Nangong Yi, who had been observing the situation,
Smiled eerily.
This outcome.
Wasn't it exactly what they had wanted?
However.
Things were far from over.
This was only the beginning.
Nangong Yi suddenly sneered.
"Ms. Han, I've noted this matter."
"If there's nothing else, please leave. Nanyi Real Estate does not welcome you."
Han Xiyao's heart sank.
She knew Nangong Yi was angry.
After all.
Zhang Yang had indeed gone too far just now.
Han Xiyao adjusted her mindset, offering an embarrassed smile.
"Mr. Nangong, would it be acceptable if I apologize on Zhang Yang's behalf?"
"Heh, apologize on his behalf? Do you think an apology can resolve this situation now?" Nangong Yi sneered.
His expression then turned ferocious, and he spoke with displeasure.
"Han Xiyao, I, Nangong Yi, hold considerable status in Jiangnan City and have connections in the provincial capital."
"And your Han Corporation has shown such ignorance."
"Do you really think you're the only one I can cooperate with?"
Han Xiyao fell silent.
Nangong Yi's anger put immense pressure on her.
Wu De, standing nearby.
Spoke up with schadenfreude at this moment.
"Mr. Nangong, I do have a suggestion."
"If you are truly interested in developing the old residential area, you could approach Han Wenkang of the Han Corporation."
"He also has the authority to make decisions for the Han Corporation."
"Coincidentally, my Qinfeng Group also cooperates with Han Wenkang, so perhaps the three of us could have an opportunity to join forces."
Nangong Yi feigned surprise. "Oh, is that so? Then approaching Han Wenkang isn't impossible."
Han Xiyao's expression changed instantly.
Nangong Yi was the only one in Jiangnan City who wasn't afraid of the three major families.
If.
He were to choose Han Wenkang.
Then the outcome of her wager with Han Wenkang would truly be uncertain.
No!
She absolutely could not let Nangong Yi find Han Wenkang.
Han Xiyao took a deep breath and pleaded.
"Mr. Nangong, I was wrong just now. I failed to properly manage my subordinate."
"I know that a verbal apology might seem weak and ineffective to you."
"Therefore, I am willing to maintain our previously agreed investment and give up five percent of the profits."
Han Xiyao's cunning was seen through by Nangong Yi and Wu De.
They both chuckled inwardly.
As expected.
The intelligence provided by Qin Shengnan was correct.
The land in the old residential area was indeed Han Xiyao's biggest concern.
It caused her to act impulsively rather than rationally in this matter.
"Giving up five percent of the profits, Han Xiyao, do you think I, Nangong Yi, am short of this little money?" Nangong Yi sneered.
Wu De, standing beside him, added sarcastically.
"I can authorize on behalf of Han Wenkang right now and offer an eight percent profit share."
This!
Han Xiyao's eyes chilled!
Eight percent!
If she gave up eight percent of the profits, coupled with the increased investment,
This would mean a difference of sixteen percent!
It seemed Wu De had a close relationship with Han Wenkang.
Now.
Han Xiyao hesitated.
If the development of the old residential area had nothing to do with her father,
Perhaps Han Xiyao would have given up due to the reduced profits.
However.
She couldn't give up now.
Because Han Xiyao knew that if Han Wenkang led the development of the old residential area,
Her comatose father would be burdened with a lifetime of infamy.
He would be cursed behind his back by the Han family members forever!
Han Xiyao glanced at Wu De, wishing she could cut him into a thousand pieces.
"Mr. Nangong, I am willing to give up ten percent."
After saying that.
Han Xiyao looked at Wu De, her voice cold. "If you can still back down further, then feel free to make decisions for Han Wenkang."
Wu De's face darkened.
As if Han Xiyao's further concession left him unable to make a decision.
He suddenly flicked his sleeve in anger and turned to leave.
"You win this time."
Seeing Wu De leave, Han Xiyao breathed a sigh of relief.
She quickly looked at Nangong Yi and reiterated.
"Mr. Nangong, this is the maximum concession I can make."
"Furthermore, I will personally host a banquet at the Sheraton Hotel tonight to apologize to you."
"If this still doesn't satisfy you, then I won't insist any further."
Nangong Yi's expression remained unchanged.
He stared at Han Xiyao for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
"Actually, this matter cannot be entirely blamed on Ms. Han."
"However, given Ms. Han's sincerity, I might be able to give you an opportunity."
"But I have a small condition: I must receive the ten percent profit from the Han Corporation tonight."
This!
Han Xiyao's heart skipped a beat.
The land in the old residential area hadn't even been developed yet.
And Nangong Yi was already demanding this ten percent profit?
"Mr. Nangong, wouldn't that be a bit inappropriate?" Han Xiyao hesitated.
Nangong Yi sneered.
"Ten percent of the profits amounts to over a hundred million yuan."
"If you think I'm going to cheat you out of your money, then we don't need to talk any further."
Seeing Nangong Yi about to lose his temper, Han Xiyao waved her hands repeatedly.
"Mr. Nangong, that's not what I meant."
"I will host a banquet at the Sheraton at eight tonight, and I will deliver the money then."
Nangong Yi nodded with satisfaction and quickly beckoned his secretary.
Based on the results of their discussion, they signed a new agreement.
Nangong Yi looked at Han Xiyao's signature, his face regaining a kind smile.
"Then I won't keep Ms. Han any longer. I also need to tend to my injuries."
Han Xiyao nodded. "Alright, I'll see you tonight."
...
Watching Han Xiyao's retreating back.
Nangong Yi's gaze gradually became lewd.
This Han Xiyao had a graceful figure.
And judging by her gait.
She was likely a virgin.
It seemed he would have a good time tonight.
Nangong Yi smiled sinisterly.
Then, he took out his phone and dialed Qin Shengnan's number.
"Qin Shengnan, I've done what I promised you, but I can't have taken this beating for nothing."
He nodded into the phone.
Qin Shengnan understood Nangong Yi's implied meaning and immediately chuckled.
"Don't worry, I'll remember this favor. As for what happens tonight, it's up to your own performance."
"Haha, of course. I, Nangong Yi, love transforming girls into women the most."
Qin Shengnan chuckled upon hearing this. "Then I wish you a pleasant evening."
"..."
At this point.
Qin Shengnan's plan had succeeded by half.
Not only had she created a rift between Han Xiyao and Zhang Yang.
But she could also use Nangong Yi to further harm Han Xiyao.
As long as Zhang Yang was kept busy tonight.
Then tomorrow morning, things would become very interesting.
At this moment.
Liao Zixia approached Qin Shengnan.
"Sixth Senior Sister, you were looking for me?"
Seeing Liao Zixia.
A smile appeared on Qin Shengnan's cunning face.
"Zixia, you've come at the right time. Senior Sister has something she needs your help with..."
