After the call went through, she did not wait for Song Huaishu to speak. She directly asked, “Is Master Xiao busy?”
Song Huaishu glanced at Huo Jiuxiao and replied, “He just finished a regular meeting with Diheng, so he’s not busy at the moment.”
“Then tell your Master Xiao that I’ll bring someone to Diheng immediately. I’ll be there in about 30 minutes.” Lin Wanli’s tone was calm, but it was enough to make President Liu’s jaw drop. Who in Jinchuan would dare to speak in such a commanding tone in front of Huo Jiuxiao?
“Master Xiao said he will wait.”
Lin Wanli hung up and placed her phone on the table. She looked at President Liu and said, “There’s no need to make an appointment. Let’s do it now.”
“I… I want to bring a team of lawyers.”
“Up to you.” Lin Wanli shrugged and replied.
Obviously, she had lost her patience.
President Liu took out his phone guiltily. His hands began to tremble just from making a call. He couldn’t be blamed. Recently, Huo Jiuxiao had taken revenge on the Huo family and sent someone to the hospital. It had caused a lot of commotion. He dared to do this publically, so who knew what he was capable of behind the scenes?
However, he was the one who wanted to see Huo Jiuxiao yet he was the one who was afraid of Huo Jiuxiao. This was really ridiculous.
Lin Wanli continued to sit in her seat and took a sip of tea. After President Liu finished the call, she asked him considerately, “Do you need bodyguards too?”
“Since you’re so afraid, why do you have to rush to seek this cooperation?” Lin Wanli was really puzzled. She said, “I’ll say it again. Huo Jiuxiao has clearly stated that he can give you the best price and has agreed to let you disclose this information. This should be a good condition for you. You can modify your demands or choose not to sell.”
“Or… I’ll just meet him first.” This President Liu was quite stubborn. Perhaps, deep down, he still thought that Lin Wanli’s phone call just now was just to trick him and had nothing to do with Huo Jiuxiao. Otherwise, why didn’t she call Huo Jiuxiao directly?
He felt that Lin Wanli was a liar!
Lin Wanli nodded and got up from her chair. She said, “Let’s go then.”
The two of them stood up together, but President Liu’s legs were a little weak. They had originally agreed on half an hour, but because they had to pick up his legal team, they were delayed. Moreover, he said that he was going to bring along his team of lawyers, but he probably added someone who could fight in that team as well.
Lin Wanli frowned but didn’t say anything. The group of five or six people drove to Diheng.
The closer they got to their destination, the more flustered President Liu became. He was afraid that Lin Wanli was lying, but he was also afraid that Lin Wanli wasn’t lying.
After they parked the car, Song Huaishu also came out of the elevator to
welcome them. “Everyone, hurry up. Master Xiao doesn’t like to wait for people.”
Lin Wanli was very familiar with the place. She led President Liu and the rest into the elevator and went straight to the chairman’s office. Along the way, President Liu and his bodyguards’ hearts were jumping to their throats.
When they arrived at the office door, Song Huaishu was the first to step forward and push the door open. Then, he said to them, “Please come in.”
President Liu and the others braced themselves and entered Huo Jiuxiao’s office. He was currently letting the doctor examine his wound to show his self-awareness and make Ah Li happy.
When President Liu and the others saw the wound on Huo Jiuxiao’s shoulder, their faces turned even paler. The sweat on their foreheads also increased, and they couldn’t wipe it clean no matter how hard they tried.
The reason why Yama was called Yama was that he only needed a glance to kill.
President Liu and the others sat down on the black leather sofa with trepidation. Their eyes were also on Lin Wanli, but they saw Lin Wanli walking towards Huo Jiuxiao. She took over the work from the doctor and naturally bandaged Huo Jiuxiao.
Seeing this scene, President Liu felt that his brain had exploded and he didn’t bring his eyes with him when he went out today. He wished he could slap his own mouth, especially when he recalled how disrespectful he had been to Lin Wanli. He felt a chill run down his spine.
Huo Jiuxiao only took a few minutes to apply the medicine, but President Liu felt like it took him several lifetimes.
After Lin Wanli finished applying the medicine, she helped Huo Jiuxiao pull up his shirt and button it up. Her actions were so skillful that they left people speechless.
However, Master Xiao didn’t bother with them first. Instead, he looked at his wife and raised his eyebrows as if he was asking her something.
[He insisted on meeting you and I couldn’t stop him. He doubted my ability. Today, I’ll just play my wife card.]
Lin Wanli answered in her heart.
Master Xiao understood what his little sweet wife meant. Then, he pushed Lin Wanli towards the office chair and instructed Song Huaishu, “Prepare some refreshments for Madam.”
It was obvious that he wanted her to sit down and watch the show.
When President Liu heard the word ‘Madam’, he felt as if his entire body had been hollowed out. His brain Imew fear, but his body was already out of his control.
Master Xiao doted on her, so Lin Wanli didn’t stand on ceremony. She sat down on his main seat and waited for Song Huaishu to bring in tea and snacks. Huo Jiuxiao then glanced at the people on the sofa in the reception area.
“Didn’t you want to see me? Speak.”
“Xiao…” President Liu couldn’t even speak clearly.
Huo Jiuxiao took a step forward and sat down on the sofa. He looked at them and said, “With this courage, you want to talk about cooperation with me? What do you want to invest in? Are you going to risk your life?”
President Liu lost control and fell to the ground. His lavvyers quickly went to help him up.
“I don’t understand. I think I’m already very kind to let my wife talk to you. Why can’t someone understand the kindness of others?” Huo Jiuxiao leaned back on the sofa, his tone filled with doubt.
Lin Wanli took a sip of tea and had some cake as she watched Master Xiao casually attack.
“You want to see me so badly?”
This time, President Liu really couldn’t hold it in anymore. He hurriedly said,
“I… I really didn’t know that Miss Lin was your wife. I…”
“So you can bully her just because you didn’t know?”
“No, no, no. No, that’s not what I meant.” President Liu quickly explained.
He really couldn’t stand the stifling atmosphere. He felt like he was about to suffocate.
“I originally liked those two buildings very much, but now it seems that I can’t buy them. Otherwise, if others say that I’m using coercion to get them, wouldn’t I be unable to defend myself? I told my wife to give you a good price.”
[Master, let the man catch his breath.]
Lin Wanli didn’t expect these people to be so timid, so she told Master Xiao to stop and not scare them.
Master Xiao restrained his hostility a little, then got up from the sofa and walked towards Lin Wanli. He said, “I’ll go patrol the training ground. I’ll leave this to you.”
“Alright.” Lin Wanli nodded.
“See you at home tonight.”
After saying that, Huo Jiuxiao left the office. At this moment, President Liu and the others felt that they had come back to life.
Lin Wanli didn’t say anything immediately, but gave them enough time to react. When President Liu’s expression improved a little, she commented,
“Haven’t I already kindly advised you not to have any unnecessary thoughts?” “Miss Lin, I was blind just now.” President Liu immediately apologized.
“He won’t take revenge for this. Don’t worry. As for the issue of buying those buildings, I can still give you the best conditions. After all, you’ve been frightened here. I’ll give you compensation. As for your final decision, you can think about it yourself. If you don’t want to sell it, I can give you a good excuse. I’m sure that it won’t put you at risk just because of the name ‘Huo Jiuxiao’..”
