Having lived for so long, it was the first time Wang Yunxiong felt so embarrassed.
Immediately, Wang Yunxiong's gaze turned cold as he fixed his eyes on Luo Yang and spoke again.
This time, however, his words carried a hint of anger.
"Hey, hurry up!" Wang Yunxiong urged.
He must have spoken too boastfully in front of Lin Tianhua, saying things like "Leave it to me."
Now, seeing Luo Yang stiffen his neck without any sign of response, Wang Yunxiong felt both annoyed and anxious.
If he couldn't even handle a young man, he would truly lose face in front of Lin Tianhua.
The veins on Wang Yunxiong's forehead bulged, like a large earthworm lurking under the skin.
In contrast, Luo Yang calmly smoked his cigarette, glancing left and right as if he were the only one in the booth and everyone else was invisible.
Bang!
Wang Yunxiong suddenly slammed the table, causing drinks to splash.
Seeing Wang Yunxiong so eager to facilitate the meeting, Luo Yang lightly laughed, "Old Wang, did the drink go to your head, or are you in a hurry to practice some moves?"
Wang Yunxiong's face tightened as he coldly said, "Apologize to Old Lin."
His tone was commanding.
Luo Yang was very put off by this.
Not being close with Wang Yunxiong, yet he was using such a tone to order him around, which made Luo Yang's mouth curl upwards.
"You want to play with fire?" Wang Yunxiong's eyes seemed ready to shoot fire.
"Old Wang, why don't you ask him to apologize to me?" Luo Yang glared back.
Initially hoping to see Luo Yang bow his head, Wang Yunxiong was the first to avert his gaze, unable to withstand Luo Yang's deep and icy stare.
"He is an elder, and you are a younger. Is it that hard to apologize?" Wang Yunxiong said gravely.
"No way!" Luo Yang said decisively.
Having reached this point, there was no need to continue the conversation.
The muscles on Wang Yunxiong's face twitched uncontrollably as he looked like he was about to crush his teeth.
Then Wang Yunxiong and Lin Tianhua exchanged a look, and Lin Tianhua coldly said, "Young Master Wang, let it go."
Wang Yunxiong still wanted the formula for the beauty stream product, holding back his anger, he said, "Xiao Luo, you don't know how to behave."
Hearing this, Luo Yang laughed.
Being a dog in front of Lin Tianhua, that's how you behave.
If that's the case, Luo Yang chose not to know how to behave.
With Luo Yang's understanding of the Lin Family, even if he feigned reconciliation with Lin Tianhua now, there would be conflicts later on.
It was better not to reconcile at all.
Wasting words was not something Luo Yang was interested in.
The booth became quiet for quite a while.
Suppressing his dissatisfaction, Wang Yunxiong gave a cold laugh, "Here's the deal, Xiao Luo, you manage the production of the beauty product, let Old Lin be the agent, and I'll be the general agent. If we all make money, the world will become a better place, right?"
Nice try!
Luo Yang coughed and spat on the floor.
This act turned Wang Yunxiong's face a mix of red and white, all the while slightly shivering, and from his razor-sharp glare, it was clear he was about to pounce on Luo Yang.
Cough!
Luo Yang spat again.
Looking back at Wang Yunxiong, he was seen clenching his fists, ready to start a fight.
"Don't worry about me, I just have some phlegm stuck in my throat. Sorry about that. Old Wang, please continue. Cough!" Luo Yang couldn't help but open his mouth and spit again.
If not for knowing that Luo Yang was skilled in fighting, Wang Yunxiong would have started hitting him long ago.
Wang Yunxiong sat there with a stern face, holding his breath, glaring, and not moving an inch.
"Where were we? Keep going, I'm very interested in your proposal. Cough!" Luo Yang spat again.
At this point, Wang Yunxiong was almost choked with rage, his face turning all shades of the spectrum, alternately white, red, and green.
In the county town, he was a prominent figure who commanded respect from everyone. Who among the Immortals didn't show him some courtesy?
Now, in front of this young man, he kept being humiliated over and over, and Wang Yunxiong was utterly furious.
"You want to play with me, huh?" Wang Yunxiong's voice trembled.
"Old Wang, don't talk like that. I'm not into that stuff, and I definitely can't play around with you," Luo Yang shook his hand.
Bang!
Wang Yunxiong slammed his fist down on the table, causing wine glasses, dishes, and bottles to jump.
That sound marked the end of the negotiation.
Ever since Lin Tianhua had walked in, Luo Yang had lost interest in continuing the discussion with Wang Yunxiong.
Those two old dogs were trying to take advantage, and Luo Yang wasn't going to let them succeed.
"Think you're all that? Just you wait! I heard you opened a martial arts studio, I think you'll be closing down soon!" Wang Yunxiong threatened.
"Thanks for the heads-up, Old Wang. I repay kindness and take revenge. I'll take my leave now!"
With that, Luo Yang walked out of the private room without looking back.
Wang Yunxiong and Lin Tianhua sat there depressed, watching Luo Yang's figure disappear through the door.
"Young Master Wang, talking sense into that rascal is a waste of time," Lin Tianhua said.
"Play with me, I'll crush him!" Wang Yunxiong said grimly.
...
...
Though they say there are no eternal enemies or friends in this world,
it seems Luo Yang and Lin Tianhua becoming friends would be a next-life matter.
Before coming here, Luo Yang had already decided his bottom line.
If Wang Yunxiong was willing to become the second-level distributor for beauty stream, Luo Yang would oblige him.
Of course, that depended on Wang Yunxiong agreeing to two conditions.
One was allowing Shuang Qiao to delay repayment, and the other, to let Chen Jie's beauty salon reopen.
Luckily he hadn't called Chen Jie beforehand, otherwise, it would have gotten her hopes up for nothing.
Now that things with Wang Yunxiong had completely soured, Luo Yang was prepared to be oppressed.
Depending on the situation, if Wang Yunxiong played with fire too much, Luo Yang would take him down first.
Everyone has their flesh; nobody is invincible.
Mulling over this, he returned to Huaxing Biotech Company.
He knocked on the door of the general manager's office and saw Shuang Qiao still inside.
On seeing Luo Yang return, Shuang Qiao looked at him curiously.
Luo Yang smiled slightly, walked into the small reception area, and was about to light a cigarette.
"You can't smoke here," Qiao Yousi reminded him.
"You can't, but I can," Luo Yang pretended to light it.
Immediately, Qiao Yousi walked over, trying to snatch the cigarette away.
But Luo Yang stretched his right hand behind him, forcing Qiao Yousi to press her hand against the back of the sofa before she could try to grab the cigarette.
At this moment, Qiao Yousi's body was almost against Luo Yang's face.
He grew slightly thirsty at the thought.
"Give it here!" Qiao Yousi said as she slapped Luo Yang's hand.
"Big Sister Qiao, I won't smoke anymore," Luo Yang's left hand embraced Qiao Yousi's leg, pulling her back.
Hearing Luo Yang sneak a laugh, Qiao Yousi quickly pushed his head away and gave him a long, dark look.
"Let go," Qiao Yousi found her leg caught and couldn't straighten up.
"Big Sister Qiao, those pants fit you well. Are they cotton?"
As he spoke, Luo Yang reached out and touched them.
Sitting opposite, Qiao Zai Shui burst out laughing.
"Sis, he's taking advantage of you," Qiao Zai Shui pointed out.
Blushing, Qiao Yousi withdrew her hand that was braced against the sofa back and swung her little fists at Luo Yang.
"That's for taking advantage."
"Big Sister Qiao, all I did was touch your pants, and you beat me up. You could touch my pants too," Luo Yang said.
At that, Qiao Yousi snickered and tenderly punched Luo Yang's shoulder.
