“Impossible!
Please leave!”
“President Lin, I suggest you reconsider.
If my patience runs out, the Muchen Group will lose a lot more than just nine hundred million.”
“You…”
Inside the office, Lin Mushu, dressed in professional attire, sat at her desk, glaring furiously at the man in his forties before her.
His words made her so angry her chest heaved.
Li Hongrui sat in a chair with his legs crossed, sporting a greasy, receding hairline.
His beer belly was so large it strained against his belt.
Though he held a cigar, his entire appearance screamed ‘sleaze’.
Li Hongrui was the chairman of the Wansheng Group.
In Jin City, Wansheng was second in power only to the five great families, making the Muchen Group look weak by comparison.
“Enough of that.
I’ll ask you one last time: are you going to be with me tonight, or not!”
Li Hongrui flicked the ash from his cigar, a lecherous smirk on his face as he stared at Lin Mushu.
He’d been lusting after her body for a long time.
Furious, Lin Mushu slammed her hand on the desk, grabbing a water glass and raising it to smash over Li Hongrui’s head.
But she stopped, the glass held high above her head.
In the end, she couldn’t bring it down.
Her rational mind screamed at her not to do it.
“Oh?
Thinking of hitting me?
Go on, right here!
Hit me as hard as you can!
I’d like to see if you have the guts to touch me, Li Hongrui!
Let me tell you something.
Tonight, not only are you going to sleep with me, but I’m also going to record the whole thing!”
Li Hongrui pointed to his own head, speaking with extreme arrogance.
He was sure he had Lin Mushu in the palm of his hand today, and nothing anyone could do would change that.
“You fucking bitch, you think the Muchen Group would be where it is today if you hadn’t used your body?
You’re obviously a common slut, and you’re still fucking pretending to be innocent for me?
The fact that I’ve taken an interest in you, that I’m letting you sleep with me—that’s a blessing for you, and you’re still fucking refusing?”
‘A woman in her twenties like you…
what could you possibly do to stop me?’
Li Hongrui’s words left Lin Mushu’s eyes bloodshot and her body trembling with rage.
If not for her position and the circumstances, she would have already burst into tears.
‘I built the Muchen Group from nothing, all on my own merits.
So many men have lusted after me along the way, but I never gave in once.
Yet here I am, being slandered as if I slept my way to the top.
It’s more than anyone could bear.’
But her current situation left her no choice but to endure it.
Lin Mushu bit her lip hard, her eyes still bloodshot as she stared at Li Hongrui.
She took a deep breath and, with a sense of defeat, finally placed the glass back on the desk.
“President Li, please leave.
If you don’t go now, I’ll have you thrown out!”
Li Hongrui sneered, then pulled a hotel key card from his pocket and tossed it onto the desk in front of Lin Mushu.
“I’m done wasting my breath on you,” he said coldly.
“Ten o’clock tonight.
If I don’t see you, you’ll face the consequences.
And remember—make yourself look pretty for me.
That will make it more fun!”
“You can forget about it!”
Lin Mushu replied without a moment’s hesitation, snatching the key card and throwing it toward the office door.
Even if it meant the Muchen Group would go bankrupt and be liquidated, she would never submit to Li Hongrui’s shameless demand!
“So defiant now.
I can’t wait to see you begging for mercy tonight.
That will be a real thrill!
Tsk, tsk, tsk!”
Li Hongrui stared at Lin Mushu and licked his lips.
He looked as sleazy as humanly possible.
In his mind, there was no doubt: tonight, Lin Mushu would be lying obediently in his bed, ready for him to do as he pleased.
Lin Mushu glared at Li Hongrui, her hands clenched so tightly her nails were digging into her palms.
It was the first time anyone had ever spoken to her so brazenly, yet there was nothing she could do but let him humiliate her.
Lin Mushu tilted her head back slightly, tears welling in her eyes.
After all, Lin Mushu was only a twenty-five-year-old woman.
A woman who, like any other, longed for love and protection.
But right now, she had none of that.
All she had were the lecherous gazes and insults of men like him.
It was a hopeless feeling.
“Oh, oh, oh!
Is the Ice Queen President about to cry?
Don’t be in such a hurry.
You’ll have plenty to cry about tonight!
Hahaha!
You’d better hold onto that card!”
Li Hongrui said with a sinister grin.
He could already picture the thrilling, stunning scene that awaited him tonight.
Just the thought of it made his blood race!
As he spoke, Li Hongrui walked toward the office door, bending to retrieve the key card from the floor.
He was certain that once she had the card, she would obediently come to him that night.
But just as Li Hongrui bent over, he suddenly heard a noise from outside.
He looked up to see the office door being pushed open!
The person who walked in was none other than Lin Haochen!
Li Hongrui merely glanced at Lin Haochen.
He paid him no mind and made no move to get out of the way, acting as if he hadn’t seen him at all as he continued to reach for the key card on the floor.
‘This animal must take me for a regular Muchen Group employee.’
‘The fool has no idea who he’s messing with.’
Just as Li Hongrui was about to grab the key card, Lin Haochen planted his foot firmly on top of it!
