Protagonist:

Li Xiulan

Du Xiaojuan's face changed drastically:

"Ji Xunrong, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Xunrong, expressionless:

"The literal meaning."

Du Xiaojuan sneered:

"Do you think I'll sign?"

Ji Xunrong suddenly laughed, a contemptuous laugh:

"I know you're unwilling to sign, but you have no choice but to sign."

Du Xiaojuan glanced at the contract; there was a line of text on it that instantly stabbed her eyes:

"You want me to sell all the Xiao Du Technology shares in my hands to you at an eighty-percent discount, and resign from the Executive Director position, stripping away everything related to Xiao Du Technology, including but not limited to the Wanjia Food Company business. Ji Xunrong, do you take yourself for a great power and me for the Qing Dynasty? Such an unequal treaty — do you think I'll sign?"

Wang Dashan also said indignantly:

"Ji Xunrong, don't think that just because you hold a little power you can do whatever you want. Our country is a country ruled by law, not a Western capitalist country. Money and power are not omnipotent here!"

Ji Xunrong couldn't help but laugh; he wanted to laugh whenever he saw Wang Dashan.

Even though Wang Dashan beat him up badly yesterday, he still didn't take Wang Dashan seriously.

"Laughing me to death. Your husband is too childish, right? Words that even a three-year-old wouldn't believe, he can actually say with firm conviction!"

Ji Xunrong looked at Du Xiaojuan:

"Du Xiaojuan, you're a female CEO worth over a hundred million, yet you found such an idiot for a husband. I truly feel sad for you!"

Du Xiaojuan's face darkened immediately:

"Don't slander my husband! My husband is just a bit simple, and he has plenty of shortcomings, but he has flesh and blood, feelings and loyalty. He's not comparable to a cold-blooded animal like you who treats people as less than human and doesn't even treat yourself as human!"

Ji Xunrong sneered:

"Looks like you two are quite in love. How coincidental — the more in love you are, the more I can manipulate you."

Ji Xunrong pointed at his own face:

"The injuries on my face were inflicted by your husband. This is already an ironclad fact!"

Having said that, he tossed out a physical examination report:

"Facial contusion, nasal bone fracture. The injury assessment is Light Injury Grade 2. And it was your husband who took the initiative to strike. I didn't resist at all. So according to the law, your husband has already constituted the crime of intentional injury and can be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of up to three years. I think as long as I pull a few strings, sentencing him to three years should be no problem."

Du Xiaojuan's delicate body trembled slightly.

The reason she didn't let Wang Dashan report to the police last night was precisely because she feared the matter of beating Ji Xunrong would drag Wang Dashan down.

But unexpectedly, the more she feared something, the more it came.

Even if they didn't report to the police, now Ji Xunrong was going to make an issue of this.

"I'm operating within the legal framework, oh. I haven't used any means beyond the scope of the law yet."

Ji Xunrong wore a playful smile, then meaningfully reminded Du Xiaojuan:

"Guess what your husband will face squatting in prison for three years? And what you, a woman alone outside, will have to face? Oh, right! You still have a son. Your son is still so young. What will he have to face?"

Du Xiaojuan's hand on the tabletop involuntarily clenched into a fist.

Anger piled up in her heart, but she suppressed it dead tight, not letting it vent easily.

It was Wang Dashan, instead, who shouted angrily at this moment:

"Ji Xunrong, don't think you're clean either. Yesterday you drugged my wife — that's also an ironclad fact. Take it to the police station, and you'll shed a layer of skin too!"

Ji Xunrong laughed instead:

"Oh, right. Forgot to tell you. The person who drugged CEO Du last night — I've already helped you ferret him out. And he confessed without reservation, personally admitting he put the drug in CEO Du's wine glass with his own hands. As for me, yesterday I merely took CEO Du to the hotel to rest out of concern. I didn't touch a single hair on her. CEO Du herself is very clear on this point."

Wang Dashan's expression trembled; he was instantly rendered speechless.

He didn't expect Ji Xunrong had already plugged all the loopholes before coming here.

Truly airtight, not a drop could leak.

Du Xiaojuan let out a long breath of turbid air.

At that moment she realized she couldn't win against Ji Xunrong.

Right now, within the legal framework, she couldn't win against him — let alone outside the legal framework.

Ji Xunrong's brain was sharper than hers, his methods had no bottom line, and he also had the Zhonghai Group, a commercial behemoth, backing him.

She, Du Xiaojuan, a woman from the rural areas, with no background and no reliance — how could she possibly fight against a powerful and noble scion like Ji Xunrong?

What difference was there between that and a mantis trying to stop a chariot, an egg striking a stone?

So she lowered her head, compromised.

"Fine. This contract — I'll sign. I have only one condition."

Seeing Du Xiaojuan compromise, Ji Xunrong's face revealed a victor's smile:

"What condition?"

"Money. It must be paid in one lump sum. I don't like dragging things out, and I dislike going back on my word even more."

Du Xiaojuan, expressionless.

Although Xiao Du Technology was founded by her single-handedly, and she had poured in countless emotions and energy.

But she knew that under the descent of a sky-covering giant hand, it was time for her to make a choice.

Taking the money and scraming right now is clearly the best choice.

After all, it's the general trend; it cannot be lightly stopped by human effort.

If she chose to resist to the death, in the end she would likely not only fail to get the money, but might also end up battered and bruised.

Most importantly, she could not, because of her own commercial ambitions, just watch helplessly as her husband was sent to prison by Ji Xunrong!

"Fine, completely no problem. I do things without liking to drag things out, so I'll give you the money, clean and decisive. But you have to scram, and you must scram cleanly and decisively too!"

Ji Xunrong's face revealed a victorious smile.

"Deal!" Du Xiaojuan, expressionless.

Wang Dashan, however, was not calm anymore. He hurriedly stood up and said:

"Wife, Xiao Du Technology was founded by you single-handedly, and it's developing so well now. How can you sell it off cheap at an eighty-percent discount?"

Du Xiaojuan, however, said:

"It's fine. Since I could make one Xiao Du Technology, I can make a second Xiao Du Technology."

Speaking to this point, she looked at Ji Xunrong:

"Ji Xunrong, don't blame me for not reminding you. I've walked out of Xiao Du Technology once before. Later, it was Fang Dayong who personally went to ask me to come back."

Ji Xunrong, however, was extremely disdainful of this:

"That was Fang Dayong being useless himself. I'm not incapable like Fang Dayong!"

Du Xiaojuan smiled:

"Hope so!"

She checked the time, then said:

"It's almost nine o'clock. The board meeting is about to start!"

Ji Xunrong then said:

"I hope you can announce this good news at the board meeting in a bit."

Du Xiaojuan then said:

"Rest assured. Even if you don't say it, I'll announce it too."

Finishing these words, Du Xiaojuan stood up and walked out of the office.

Wang Dashan hurriedly chased out. He really couldn't understand, nor could he accept, that Du Xiaojuan would give up Xiao Du Technology so lightly!

"Wife, you really want to sell Xiao Du Technology to Ji Xunrong at an eighty-percent discount?"

Du Xiaojuan, expressionless, only said one sentence:

"I don't want you to sit in prison."

Wang Dashan, however, said:

"It's only three years. A blink of an eye and it's past. I can endure it. I don't regret hitting him. If I have to sit in prison, I'll accept it too! We can't just let that bastard Ji Xunrong succeed!"

Du Xiaojuan, however, looked at him and said:

"You can endure it, but I can't. Not to mention three years, even three days won't do."
