Young Master in Flower City

Ye Qingcheng had thought it through; to completely rid herself of this marriage contract, she needed to outmaneuver Ye Tianhao. Once she was officially married to Xiao Tianyu, Ye Tianhao wouldn't be able to force her to divorce.

Moreover, even though Xiao Tianyu lacked ambition, he was at least a genius. This lifelong contract could restrain Xiao Tianyu, and once the person she truly desired returned, she could divorce at any time.

Ye Qingcheng's plan was undoubtedly perfect. Marrying a husband at such a low cost would solve all problems easily, and she never considered Xiao Tianyu would refuse.

At this moment, Xiao Tianyu looked at the document in his hand, finding it somewhat amusing.

Triple salary.

Final interpretation lay in Ye Qingcheng's hands.

Ye Qingcheng could divorce whenever she wanted. What was he, Xiao Tianyu? A plaything for others? Although Ye Qingcheng was stunningly beautiful, would he, Xiao Tianyu, compromise on such an unequal contract?

Moreover, did he, Xiao Tianyu, care about her triple salary?

A typist's salary is only a few thousand yuan a month, and three times that is just ten or twenty thousand.

In the planning department meeting room, if he sold the plan he brought out to Ye Qingcheng, it would be worth at least millions.

Xiao Tianyu realized what it meant to be too naive and foolish.

Immediately, Xiao Tianyu placed the document down and stood up to leave, without saying a word. His days of being ordered around ended fifteen years ago.

"Stop right there!" Ye Qingcheng suddenly stood up. "Is this the attitude a subordinate should have towards their superior?"

"President Ye, then you tell me how I should treat you. Should I listen to you and sign my name on the signature line to properly treat you?"

Xiao Tianyu stopped his steps and continued, "The world doesn't revolve around you entirely. Maybe others will, but I'm at least not that degrading!"

He, Xiao Tianyu, wasn't so cowardly to be manipulated by Ye Qingcheng. To others, an unequal contract might be an opportunity to shine, but how could he, Xiao Tianyu, sell himself for that?

If the contract were equal, he might consider it. But since all interpretation lay in Ye Qingcheng's hands, how could he, Xiao Tianyu, allow himself to be manipulated by a woman?

"Xiao Tianyu, what do you want? If it doesn't work, the contract can be revised!" Ye Qingcheng conceded. "Five times the salary!"

"Ha ha~" Xiao Tianyu sneered and continued walking.

"Ten times!"

"..." Xiao Tianyu ignored her.

"Xiao Tianyu, what will it take for you to sign?" Ye Qingcheng chased him out of the office with the document, blocking his path. "Don't you think you should take some responsibility for the Royal One incident?"

In Ye Qingcheng's view, the unequal contract was already a significant concession to Xiao Tianyu. She didn't even mind what happened that night, so it seemed only natural that Xiao Tianyu should suffer a little loss.

"Responsibility?"

Xiao Tianyu looked at Ye Qingcheng, his voice indifferent. "If I signed my name, would that count as responsibility?"

"..." Ye Qingcheng opened her mouth, speechless.

Xiao Tianyu continued, "Let me be clear, I have no responsibility to you. That night, I did nothing. Believe it or not!"

Xiao Tianyu felt deeply frustrated. He simply looked, did nothing, so why should he be held responsible? If so, wouldn't he, Xiao Tianyu, be wronged? Moreover, Xiao Tianyu didn't even know about the blood on the bed. By the time Ye Qingcheng discovered the sheet stains, Xiao Tianyu had already left the room.

Hearing this, Ye Qingcheng felt a wave of anger. Ha~ did nothing? If nothing happened, how do you explain the blood on the bed? If nothing happened, why was my stomach hurting for a day or two?

Upon this thought, a hint of anger rose within Ye Qingcheng. Coldly, she said, "You're just a scoundrel who doesn't want to take responsibility!"

"Watch your words!" Xiao Tianyu's voice suddenly turned cold, "If there is nothing else, I'm going back to work!"

"You..." Ye Qingcheng choked, her body trembling. Recalling Guan Zhongyuan's vulgar words, she said, "The contract can still be amended!"

"Amended to equality?"

"Yes!" Ye Qingcheng nodded, as she would never marry someone as sleazy as Guan Zhongyuan.

Yet Xiao Tianyu replied, "Had you given an equal contract from the beginning, I might have signed. But now, ha ha~"

"What will it take for you to sign?" Ye Qingcheng asked.

"Nothing you do will make me sign!"

"You..." Ye Qingcheng felt a blockage in her heart.

Were it another man, they might have signed without a second thought. But Xiao Tianyu? The contract had been revised time and again, yet he still disagreed—what more did he want?

"Don't act like the Iceberg President with me. One, I owe you nothing. Two, we're merely using each other. Of course, if you want to fire me, I have no complaint. That said, I'm going to work!"

"Stop right there!"

"Stop to be scolded by you again?" Xiao Tianyu pressed the elevator button. When it quickly arrived, he stepped in without looking back at Ye Qingcheng. No matter how beautiful someone might be, if their attitude didn't change, who would like them? At least not him, Xiao Tianyu.

Watching Xiao Tianyu leave in earnest, Ye Qingcheng couldn't help cursing under her breath, "Bastard, you're a complete and utter bastard!"

In Ye Qingcheng's eyes, Xiao Tianyu was a bastard. He had looked, touched, and done it with her, yet he wouldn't admit it, let alone take responsibility.

Besides, would she, Ye Qingcheng, make him take responsibility? This was just a temporary marriage, alright? As soon as the one she loved appeared, she'd divorce right away. But he didn't compromise at all, rendering her carefully crafted lifelong contract useless.

...

Fengxing International.

"Rejected?" In the president's office, Yi Tianxing furrowed his brows slightly. He hadn't anticipated that Shangguan Biyue would reject the proposal to collaborate.

Could it be that Shangguan Biyue saw through something?

"Yes, President!" Dong Kejiang nodded, standing opposite the desk.

Hearing this, Yi Tianxing lightly tapped the desktop, contemplating for a moment before speaking, "What did Shangguan Biyue say?"

"For cooperation, she requires you to meet her in person, otherwise everything is off the table," Dong Kejiang replied.

"She's quite demanding!" Yi Tianxing said plainly, "Prepare, I'll personally meet this Iceberg President!"

"Yes!" Dong Kejiang nodded and then exited the office.

Yi Tianxing leaned back in his chair, gazing at the ceiling with deep, unfluctuating eyes, as if everything was within his control. Only Celestial International remained a mystery to him.

Since he was unsure, Yi Tianxing naturally wanted to make thorough preparations. The best partner currently was unquestionably Biyue International. What's more, among the top ten enterprises in Celestial Capital, several were already under his control. If he could also take over Biyue International, he was confident in competing with Tianyu International.

However, surprisingly, Tianyu International had no intention of competing with Fengxing, and they didn't even care about that piece of land.
