Bai Ruyan looked at Qin Hai and said, "Today's matter is our fault, and on behalf of the Four Seas Company, I apologize to you. Is this resolution satisfactory to you?"
Qin Hai bluntly replied, "Whether I'm satisfied or not is none of your business. Your company, your rules. Do you think you'll share the profits with me? Forget about it."
Despite Bai Ruyan's straightforward approach altering Qin Hai's impression of her, his words remained sharp, filled with a mocking tone.
As the most protective leader in the history of mercenaries, Qin Hai's pettiness was renowned in the mercenary world. Those who had experience in the European and American mercenary circles knew better than to provoke someone associated with Starfall. Encountering them often led to being targeted by a mad dog, and survival itself was considered fortunate.
Unfortunately, Bai Ruyan was unfamiliar with the mercenary world and unaware of Qin Hai's background. Criticizing Lin Qingya in front of Qin Hai had successfully angered him. Thankfully, she was a woman; otherwise, if it were someone like Hou Dabao, standing might have become a problem.
However, Qin Hai failed to notice that while contemplating how to further taunt Bai Ruyan, the adjacent Qiao Wei had been thoroughly frightened by his words.
Qiao Wei, unlike Qin Hai, knew well the reputation of Bai Ruyan's name in Spring River. Bai Ruyan, the legendary heiress of the Bai family, was not just any ordinary person. Similar to Lin Qingya, she was one of the three beauties of Spring River, renowned and admired.
Even more concerning for Qiao Wei was that the Bai family, a powerful gray family, was known for its influence. Bai Ruyan herself was rumored to have a capricious and unpredictable temperament. Legend had it that an unfortunate soul who didn't recognize Bai Ruyan once looked at her too long and made a flippant comment. As a consequence, the individual lost an eye and had their tongue cut out by Bai Ruyan's orders. Subsequently, not only did the company collapse, but their family also faced ruin and desolation.
Qin Hai dared to speak to Bai Ruyan like this. Wasn't that like lighting a lamp in a restroom – courting disaster?
In a hurry, Qiao Wei forcefully tugged at Qin Hai's clothes, signaling him to stop his careless talk.
"Well said!" Unexpectedly, both Qin Hai and Qiao Wei were surprised as Bai Ruyan not only showed no anger but nodded slightly.
Looking through her large sunglasses at Qin Hai, Bai Ruyan developed a curiosity about this salesperson under Lin Qingya.
In Spring River, many had heard of Bai Ruyan's name, but very few dared to speak such words directly to her face.
With a sweep of her eyes, Bai Ruyan noticed the shattered pieces of paper on the ground, and a sudden realization struck her. Rising, she walked in front of Qin Hai, picked up a piece of shredded paper from the ground, and asked, "Is this the proposal you brought? Do you have another copy? I'd like to take a look."
Qin Hai shrugged, saying impatiently, "No, the only copy was torn up by your subordinate."
"Oh, I see," Bai Ruyan frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and said, "Bring another copy tomorrow. If I'm not here, show it to Dabao. If it suits him, the deal is yours."
"Tomorrow might be too late," Qin Hai said coldly.
"Why?" Bai Ruyan asked in surprise, removing her sunglasses and carefully examining Qin Hai.
She was puzzled; she had already agreed to hand over the contract to Qin Hai's team. Still, he remained indifferent. Had she offended him before? It seemed impossible; she had never met him before.
Just as Qin Hai had speculated beforehand, after removing her sunglasses, Bai Ruyan transformed into an unparalleled beauty. Her delicate melon-seed face, coupled with her tender and flawless skin, was perfect, rivaling Lin Qingya herself.
Especially now, with Bai Ruyan tilting her head, her clear eyes seemed filled with countless question marks, giving her an innocent and cute appearance. It was hard to believe that this seemingly harmless girl had just slapped Hou Dabao twice in a row and silenced everyone in the Four Seas Company.
Qiao Wei sighed softly, adding to Bai Ruyan's words, explaining the deliberate difficulties created by Jian Ren for Qin Hai.
"Bai Miss, that's the situation. If we can't secure this deal today, Qin Hai will be dismissed from the company. Even if we bring the proposal tomorrow, it won't matter to him."
Bai Ruyan listened silently, nodding, "I see. No wonder you're in such a hurry."
She tilted her head, gazing at Qin Hai. A mischievous smile appeared on her face, "How about this, if Lin Qingya fires you, come to me. I want you."
"You want me?" Qin Hai asked in astonishment.
"Yes, I want you. What about it? Are you reluctant to leave Lin Qingya?" Bai Ruyan asked with a playful smile.
Qin Hai was greatly surprised. Did this woman know about his relationship with Lin Qingya?
It seemed highly unlikely.
Did she also fall for him at first sight, just like the girl a moment ago?
Thinking about this, Qin Hai asked in surprise, "Do you like me?"
As soon as the words were spoken, the entire room fell into stunned silence. Even Qiao Wei was dumbfounded. Bai Ruyan's appearance was even more exaggerated; her big eyes widened, and her cute cherry mouth turned into a perfect circle. One could even catch a glimpse of her small and adorable tongue inside.
Seeing their reactions, Qin Hai scratched his head, chuckling, "Isn't it like that? Make it clear, scaring me. I thought Miss Bai fell for me!"
Instantly, the scene fell silent, and everyone stared at Qin Hai as if he were an idiot. Almost everyone had the same thought in their minds.
"Where did this bold idiot come from? Is he so audacious that he dares to flirt with Miss Bai?"
Moreover, why did he keep staring at Miss Bai's chest while saying this?
Bang!
In no time, everyone turned their heads, casting their gazes quickly towards Qin Hai.
Now they were eager to know how this bold and incredibly lucky guy would respond to Bai Ruyan.
"Miss Bai, don't misunderstand. I definitely don't mean to look down on you. Actually, you look pretty good, just a little worse than an unmarried daughter-in-law like me. But still, quite beautiful. Unfortunately, I already have a fiancée, and I am a very devoted person. I will never engage in extramarital affairs. So, if you really like me, I have to regretfully inform you that we are not meant to be!" Qin Hai said helplessly.
After he finished speaking, he quickly added, "Of course, if we had met a month earlier, I believe we would have been a perfect match. But it's not possible now. I will never betray my wife. Please don't try to tempt me into infidelity;
I won't succumb to it, truly!"
Damn!
This guy made Bai Ruyan stop trying to seduce him!
Do you think you're so cool? Does your mother know?
Oh, by the way, why did you keep staring at Miss Bai's chest while saying that?
Bang!
In an instant, it seemed like countless jaws hit the ground, shattering into pieces. Everyone's mouths were almost torn apart.
Some with smaller hearts had their hearts stimulated to the point of a heart attack and fainted on the spot.
The room was in chaos!
Qiao Wei was about to take off her shoes, ready to stuff both of her socks into Qin Hai's mouth. Even if there was a sweaty odor, it didn't matter. It was necessary to prevent this guy from saying anything more outrageous.
However, to everyone's surprise, after a short period of shock, Bai Ruyan suddenly burst into giggles. "You're quite interesting. Do you find me terrifying? Are you worried I might fall for you?"
Damn!
Bai Ruyan actually didn't order a smack for this bold guy!
This is too unscientific!
Could it be that Bai Ruyan really fell for this guy?
Everyone, once again, stared in astonishment at Bai Ruyan.
Swish!
Soon, they turned their heads together, their gazes quickly shifting towards Qin Hai.
They now really wanted to know how this audacious guy, incredibly lucky, would respond to Bai Ruyan.
"Miss Bai, don't misunderstand. I definitely don't mean to look down on you. You look okay, although just a bit worse than an unmarried daughter-in-law like me. But still, quite beautiful. Unfortunately, I already have a fiancée, and I am a very devoted person. I will never engage in extramarital affairs. So, if you really like me, I have to regretfully inform you that we are not meant to be!" Qin Hai appeared helpless.
After finishing, he quickly added, "Of course, if we had met a month earlier, I believe we would have been a perfect match. But it's not possible now. I will never betray my wife. Please don't try to tempt me into infidelity; I won't succumb to it, truly!"
