Young Master in Flower City

"Just wanted to see your confidence!" Shangguan Biyue said with a faint smile. It seemed like an iceberg war had already begun between them. The two had been rivals for years without a clear winner. Now, meeting again, the tension was palpable.

"Then let's get straight to the point!" Ye Qingcheng placed the document in her hand onto the table and continued, "This is all the liquid capital of Qingcheng International at present, a total of 34 billion!"

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biyue was taken aback. She hadn't expected Ye Qingcheng to disclose Qingcheng International's current financial base so directly. After all, with the auction approaching, how much money one had was a top-secret.

Since Ye Qingcheng said this, it naturally showed Ye Qingcheng's sincerity. She was earnest about cooperating with Biyue International.

Shortly, Shangguan Biyue sneered, "You think you can cooperate with Biyue International with just 34 billion, do you take me for a fool?"

"If you win the land at Great Ao, you get 65%," Ye Qingcheng said. "However, you need to put up nearly 70 billion, and I won't say more. The final auction price for that land won't be less than 100 billion!"

"Dong Kejiang just left, you saw that too. I think I have a better chance of success by choosing to cooperate with Fengxing rather than with you!" Shangguan Biyue smiled faintly.

"You won't!" Ye Qingcheng said coldly.

"Are you so sure?" Shangguan Biyue asked with interest.

"Because you won't work with wolves unless you want Biyue International to disappear from Earth!" Ye Qingcheng said.

"You know Fengxing that well!"

"Indeed!" Ye Qingcheng continued, "As far as I know, Fengxing's ambitions are bigger than you might think. His goal is to become the second Tianyu International. If you cooperate with him, then you might as well present Biyue International to him on a silver platter!"

Hearing this, Shangguan Biyue's faint smile vanished, replaced by caution. She asked, "Who told you that?"

"You don't need to ask about that, just say whether or not you'll cooperate!"

"Even if we cooperate, can you ensure Tianyu..."

Ye Qingcheng interrupted, "Tianyu International will not participate in the auction!"

"Are you so sure?"

"Of course!"

"Your claim seems overly doubtful, it's a bit laughable to think you can get insider information on Tianyu!"

"Believe it or not!" In fact, Ye Qingcheng was not entirely sure if Tianyu International would participate or not; it was merely Xiao Tianyu's analysis, so she chose to believe.

"Reason?" Shangguan Biyue asked.

"No reason!"

"..." Shangguan Biyue was speechless, having no concrete reason yet stating Tianyu International would not participate in the auction. Was this woman not just bluffing?

Ye Qingcheng continued, "I've been upfront about Qingcheng International's finances, now you just need to say whether you're willing to cooperate!"

"What if I'm not willing," Shangguan Biyue replied firmly.

"Then so be it!"

Ye Qingcheng walked away on her high heels. She didn't come to beg Shangguan Biyue but for fair cooperation, which left Shangguan Biyue somewhat speechless.

Negotiations between the two could likely only end like this; apart from them, it's hard to find a third person who could. It's no wonder they've been rivals for years, having never thought of sitting down together to discuss cooperation.

"I have a condition!" At that moment, Shangguan Biyue suddenly spoke.

"Speak!" Ye Qingcheng said.

"Unless you let a typist from your department come to work at Biyue International!"

"Who?" Ye Qingcheng's eyebrows furrowed slightly, as Qingcheng International had many typists.

"Xiao Tianyu!"

"..." Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng was stunned. How did this woman know Xiao Tianyu, and why was she openly trying to poach him? Did she also know Xiao Tianyu was a talent?

Regardless of Xiao Tianyu's ambition, Ye Qingcheng could not let go. She would rather keep Xiao Tianyu than let him join a competitor. After all, Xiao Tianyu was like a ticking time bomb, ready to go off at any moment: boom~

Thus, Ye Qingcheng refused, "No way!"

Uh~

Shangguan Biyue was taken aback, then looked at Ye Qingcheng with a strange expression, "You won't even let go of a typist?"

"Any typist from Qingcheng International, but not Xiao Tianyu!"

"You like him?" Shangguan Biyue asked.

"I wish he were dead!"

"Then I'm puzzled. If you hate him that much, why not let him go?" You don't want him; I do.

Give him to you, and then you seduce him with beauty and make him work for you to swallow up my Qingcheng International, is that possible?

Suddenly, Ye Qingcheng thought of something; a one-year labor contract was too short. She must have that guy sign a lifetime contract, thus tying him to Qingcheng International.

Thinking this, Ye Qingcheng said, "Don't get your hopes up. I'm not letting go, so give up!"

"You care so much about a typist?"

"It's not care, it's hate!" Ye Qingcheng said coldly. I haven't tormented that guy enough myself, why should I give him to you? And letting you entice him to grow your company, how is that possible?

"Then the negotiations are off!" Shangguan Biyue snorted coldly upon seeing Ye Qingcheng's reluctance.

Ye Qingcheng said coldly, "As you wish, but I still need to remind you, Fengxing aims to replace Tianyu International, creating a second financial empire globally. You should weigh the priorities, and I advise you not to cooperate with Fengxing!"

At this point, Ye Qingcheng said no more, but it made Shangguan Biyue's heart sink; if what Ye Qingcheng said was true, then Fengxing's ambition was indeed extraordinary.

Then, Shangguan Biyue asked, "You've mentioned this repeatedly, how do you know, and how are you so sure?"

"I repeat, believe it or not, it's up to you!"

Threatening?

Shangguan Biyue felt speechless, wasn't it Ye Qingcheng who came to plead with her, being so righteous was one thing, but now also threatening, what's the deal?

"Have you considered it clearly?" After a long time, Ye Qingcheng asked, "If you still don't want to cooperate, then Biyue International will be the second Qingcheng International, and I believe it won't be long before it disappears from Celestial Capital!"

"Seventy percent!" Shangguan Biyue suddenly said.

"Deal!" Ye Qingcheng agreed immediately.

Actually, Ye Qingcheng was a bit nervous just now, not daring to be sure if Shangguan Biyue would compromise. If Shangguan Biyue really didn't compromise, Qingcheng International would be facing bankruptcy.

So straightforward? Shangguan Biyue was taken aback for a moment. Once agreed, Shangguan Biyue did things swiftly and decisively, so she said, "Bring me the cooperation documents. If there's no issue, Biyue International will invest 70 billion!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Qingcheng laid out the prepared documents one by one in front of Shangguan Biyue and said calmly, "Look through the documents, if there are no issues, just sign them!"

Shangguan Biyue didn't pay attention right away but opened each document to examine every detail. Half an hour later, she picked up a pen and scribbled her name.

As the signature of Shangguan Biyue appeared on the signature line, Ye Qingcheng finally exhaled deeply. It was finally settled.

With two copies of the cooperation agreement, Ye Qingcheng took one and left the reception room.
