Yuan Ping flattered and smiled at Qin Xiao with his mouth watering. It was hard to tell that the man sitting in front of her is the CEO of Yuan Group, even though he's suited up.

The rumor is indeed true. Yuan Ping is lecherous. It's disgusting.

But she could not show it. She stayed calm and even smiled back, "Mr. Yuan, we're working in the same industry. Though we might have little connections, we are competitors on some occasions. Recently, we're developing the market of the new district. I heard that Mr. Yuan was interested in it, so I arranged an appointment with you."

With his arms crossed, Yuan Ping leaned back against the sofa with a cunning smile.

He stared at Qin Xiao and replied with a big smile, "so you are not inviting me for dinner, but for a business negotiation on the new market?"

He's lecherous, but more shrewd when it comes to business. He knew what Qin Xiao wants because the market manager had reported the development of a new market to him.

"To be honest, the reason I invite Mr. Yuan for dinner is indeed for the new market." Qin Xiao laughed and said gently, "Recently, we have planned a series of market activities, but they are reported by someone without reason. Have you heard about it? It's not a big problem, but it is a bit annoying when it happens again. I'm wondering what Mr. Yuan would do if this happens to you."

Yuan Ping twitched his stiff lips to pretend to be calm, "Miss Qin, how would I know what has happened in your company?"

He continued, "Miss Qin, why don't we sit down for a fine dinner and drink?"

He poured a glass of wine for Qin Xiao.

"I've heard about you for years and always want to dine with you. Finally, my wish comes true today. Cheers!"

Yuan Ping picked up the glass and gulped down the wine without hesitation. If he didn't look at Qin Xiao with cunning eyes, she thought he was a gentleman.

However, it's not time to show her attitude now. Qin Xiao did the same by drinking the whole bottle of wine in one gulp.

Drinking is a piece of cake for Qin Xiao. She used to do business talks on the dinner table when developing the east market. Sales should be good at drinking. Otherwise, he cannot establish himself.

"Wow. Nice shot, Miss QIn." Yuan Pint complimented Qin Xiao when he saw her gulp down the wine.

"What would Mr. Yuan do if this happened to you?" Qin Xiao kept asking the same questions. "Mr. Yuan, we're clear that playing tricks is not wrong, but if you want to benefit from hurting others, it would be totally different. "

"Rabbit will bite when it's cornered, not to mention us! Mr. Yuan, don't you think so?"

Qin Xiao blew it out directly, leaving no room for Yuan Ping to hide.

With a cold smile curled up on her lips, Yuan Ping retorted, "Miss Qin, you kept satirizing me since I sat down. It seems like you are not intended to have a nice talk at all."

"Mr. Yuan, it depends on you rather than me, don't you think so?" Qin Xiao giggled, "Our new market has been turned upside down. I am wondering whether Mr. Yuan knows it."

Qin Xiao was not scared by Yuan Ping. Having worked for years, she had met many compelling characters.

"The new market is a delicious cube of cheese. We can't let Xiao Group take it alone. A small business like us would like to take a bite as well." Yuan Ping sneered with his hands crossed. "Xiao Group has monopolized the east market. We have to fight to live."

How ironic his words were.

"It's right. But we fight fairly. Stabbing in the back was not ethical."

"If you believe it isn't ethical, you can do it as well. But I'm clear that your company is now a mess. Otherwise, you would not invite me to dinner."

Yuan Ping had heard that Lin Bingbing had taken all senior staff away. There were no talents under Qin Xiao's hands. That's why he chose to fight against Xiao Group now.

He's sure that Qin Xiao was not able to fight back. Her invitation was the best proof. That's why Yuan Ping was fearless.

"It seems that Mr. Yuan has made the decision, then there is no need to talk further."

"Miss Qin, you're a real talent. I do hope you can leave Xiao Group to join us. With my support and your ability, we can take the entire east market." Yuan Ping smiled at Qin Xiao fearlessly.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Yuan. I'm quite well and have no intention of leaving Xiao Group." Qin Xiao directly refused him without hesitation.

Xiao Group is now just the workplace. It's her home. How can she abandon it?

It would be a waste of time to talk with a person standing on the opposite side with you.

When Yuan Ping left, Qin Xiao didn't leave immediately. She sat tight and took a sip of the wine. She needs to take a break.

"Miss Qin, the talk is over?"

Xiao Jingqian showed up all of a sudden.

"Why are you here?" Qin Xiao narrowed her eyes and looked up and down with confusion: why would he be here?
