"Why? Are you going to invite me over for dinner?" Knowing that Leena was well cared for now, Kevin bantered with Daisy with ease.
"I just thought that you wouldn't agree to participate." Daisy defiantly raised her eyebrows. Of course, she knew he was joking with her.
As long as you buy me a dinner, I'll definitely come. Seriously, What's going on?" Kevin leaned back against his chair, with a playful smile on his face.
So, here is the deal. My soldiers want to compare notes with your armored battalion." Daisy pursed her mouth. The soldiers were inviting Kevin to pick a fight.
"What? Compare notes with my armored battalion? Do they want a shoot-out or a hand-to-hand combat? I don't have time for the shoot-out. As for the hand-to-hand combat, we could hardly win." Kevin pinched his chin. He knew Daisy's soldiers were good at hand-to-hand combat. If he accepted her request, he knew what the result would be without guessing.
"A hand-to-hand fight, of course. So, what do you say? Fight or no?" Daisy certainly knew that the armored Battalion was not good at hand-to-hand combat, so her soldiers would surely win. However, she wanted to show them how good Kevin was.
"As a soldier, I am not afraid of fighting. I don't care about winning or losing. It's no big deal to me," Kevin agreed to the request without hesitation. He would like to take the opportunity to improve the combat capability of his soldiers. In any case, it was just a drill. Winning or losing didn't really matter.
Okay. I'll take that as a yes. So, I'll see you at 7 o'clock at the training ground." Daisy smiled slyly and turned away.
Kevin shook his head, thinking, 'It looks like she has changed a lot lately. Why else would the soldiers dare to request her for such an indulgent exercise?' To their disappointment, however, as they were about to start the knock off, the Gods turned against them and it started raining hard. It seemed like the rain would not stop anytime soon, so they decided to postpone the activity.
Okay! I guess that's it." Daisy sighed, shaking her head in resignation as she watched the downpour from the window.
"All right. It seems like we have to comply to the will of the Gods. We might as well go back together. In the heavy rain we can at least take care of each other." Kevin smiled. Although the process of forcing himself not to love her was painful, he was relieved that he could stand next to Daisy calmly, just like he was right now. It indicated that he had let go of a lot of feelings for her.
"Sure. We seldom get home so early." As they were talking to each other, they opened an umbrella and walked into the heavy rain. Daisy always treated Kevin like a big brother, so even if she knew he loved her, she would never deliberately alienate him. In any case, she believed in Kevin and knew he was capable of letting go. Daisy's and Kevin's cars left the military base consecutively. There was a splash of water as the cars passed. Fortunately, this was a suburb, so there were no pedestrians. Otherwise, it would have wet their clothes.
In the FX International conference room, Edward sulked and glared at the executives present. They had not told him previously that their businesses was being ground down by an unknown enterprise. If he had not stumbled upon it, he couldn't imagine how serious the consequences would have been.
What am I employing you for? Why has no one mentioned such an important thing to me?" Edward asked, his smile akin to a spring breeze. The gentler he smiled, the angrier he truly felt.
I am sorry! At first, we thought it was no big deal and we could solve it ourselves, so we didn't want to involve you. We didn't think it would get worse." The department manager shivered, his head lowered.
Hah! You can solve it? So, have you solved it now?" Edward glanced at them coldly, thinking, 'Damn it! Don't play with me, or I'll make you regret it!'
We are already investigating the matter. But they seem to know our company very well, so..." Another manager bowed his head in resignation. He knew they had not done their job well. It was their fault, so he did not defend himself. He informed Edward that the enemy had a fully devised plan to grind down their company.
From today on, you can't tell anyone about the company decisions. Look up the people in your departments and see if there's anyone suspicious. Take care of all the important documents. Do you hear me?" Edward frowned. 'No company goes against me in the whole of S City, so this man must be mad. What is his purpose?' Edward thought.
"Yes, Mr. Mu. We will be careful. Are we going to stop the promotion of the new villas that have been open for sale?" The sales manager asked, afraid as he was. He was more scared about misunderstanding Edward's instructions.
"No, we will proceed as planned. He wouldn't dare mess with me like that. That's it for today. If you find anything, let me know immediately. This meeting is over for now." Edward glanced around the meeting room with a playful smile on his face. 'I haven't played an exciting game in such a long time. Since you wish to lose so badly, I will play with you,' thought Edward.
Somewhere else in a luxurious presidential suite, a beautiful woman and a man were tangled in each other, both of them sweating and enjoying the most primitive desires of humans.
You naughty girl, if you keep doing this, you will drain me out." The man kissed her with affection in his eyes.
"No, I wouldn't. Shaun, thank you. If you bring down FX International, I am all yours. Forever." The woman held his hands tightly, flirting with him coquettishly.
Melissa, are you serious?" Elated, the man named Shaun kissed her again.
Yes, of course. I would never lie to you." The woman smiled at him seductively. Her white skin looked delicate and lustrous. She was an unusual beauty.
Okay. I promise I will never let you down." As he finished speaking, he kissed her again. The rain outside the window served as an aphrodisiac, making them powerless to stop.
The rain didn't stop until the next morning. The conspiracy grew even more serious. As soon as Edward arrived at the company, he was told that the shares of the departmental stores that were owned by FX International Group were being purchased secretly.
Who did this?" Edward was in the technology department, with a spirited smile on his face. He didn't seem to be mad about it at all. 'Well, I have met a smart opponent indeed. He knows how to buy the stock of the store I least care about. Unfortunately for him, I knew he was going to do that. He really thinks he's capable of buying my stock?' Edward thought.
"We've got it. It's Kompass Group, headquartered in H City. Its president is somebody known as Shaun Gao. It is said that he graduated from Harvard and began a series of reforms after taking over the Group. The results were pretty good, " The technical staff told him the information he had found on the Internet. 'In terms of financial resources, Kompass Group is no match for our company. Then why is this company moving against FX International Group?' the staff wondered.
