Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Yu Keqing in Danger_1
The room next door.
As soon as Yu Keqing entered, Liang Wanliang’s eyes widened instantly.
The OL suit dress Yu Keqing was wearing showed off her figure quite seductively.
Yu Keqing felt very uncomfortable under Liang Wanliang’s unwavering gaze.
"Ahem! Ahem!" She cleared her throat softly, then greeted, "Mr. Liang, hello!"
"Assistant Yu, you’re late today! We agreed on 7:30, and you’re one minute late."
"Mr. Liang, for a grown man to quibble over a single minute, is that necessary?"
"Even one minute late is still late."
Liang Wanliang picked up the Maotai, poured three glasses, and said, "According to the rules, being late means a penalty drink. Drink these three glasses, Assistant Yu, and then we can talk business."
Yu Keqing glanced at the glasses. These were meant for Baijiu; each glass was just five "qian", so three glasses made only "yi liang wu" (75 grams).
Having been a CEO for so many years, Yu Keqing was no stranger to drinking socially, and had some tolerance for alcohol.
She could handle these three glasses of Baijiu with ease.
Before coming, she had mentally prepared herself, knowing that Liang Wanliang would not be easy to deal with.
She didn’t mean to be one minute late; there was traffic on the road.
Otherwise, she could have arrived ten minutes early.
Even if it was just by a minute, she was indeed late.
Being late meant accepting the penalty!
So, Yu Keqing no longer said anything.
Picking up a glass, she tilted her head back and drank.
Yu Keqing finished all three glasses of Maotai.
"Are you satisfied now, Mr. Liang? Can we talk business?"
After drinking the three glasses of Maotai, Yu Keqing’s beautiful face flushed a slight red, making her look even more provocative.
Liang Wanliang’s eyes remained fixated on her, greedily taking in the sight.
A slightly tipsy woman is the most flavorful.
All the more so, as Yu Keqing was a rare beauty, a fully ripe rare beauty.
Any man would find it hard to walk away from her.
"Assistant Yu has a great capacity for liquor! Truly a heroic woman who doesn’t yield to men, I toast to you."
Liang Wanliang poured two more glasses of Maotai, one for Yu Keqing and one for himself.
Looking at the glass Liang Wanliang was offering, Yu Keqing smiled faintly and declined, "Mr. Liang, I’m not good with alcohol. I’m already feeling dizzy after those three glasses. So for this glass, if you must toast to me, I can only reciprocate with tea."
After speaking, Yu Keqing poured a cup of tea and raised it.
"Assistant Yu, isn’t using tea instead of alcohol when toasting a bit disrespectful to me?"
"Mr. Liang, I came today to discuss business with you, not to drink with you. If you want to drink, we can take it slow after finalizing the business deal."
"Fine! Let’s talk business first."
Liang Wanliang pulled out a contract and slapped it on the table.
"You must have seen this contract before, haven’t you, Assistant Yu? At the time of signing, you were the CEO of Huanmei Group. Your personal seal is on this contract. This means that you, Assistant Yu, have reviewed it with your own eyes and approved it."
"Indeed, my personal seal is on the contract, but my seal is managed by the CEO’s office. Hence, the contract was reviewed by someone from the CEO’s office, not by me personally. As far as I know, Yuan Min, who signed this contract with you, Mr. Liang, has already been poached by your Dayang Company. Just because of this, I can be sure. This contract is the result of collusion between you, Mr. Liang, and Yuan Min. The content of the contract severely damages the interests of Huanmei Group. Therefore, your Dayang Company is suspected of contract fraud!"
"Contract fraud? Assistant Yu, one may be careless with eating, but one can’t be careless with words! The contract not only has your, Yu Keqing’s, personal seal but also the official seal of Huanmei Group. Since it is stamped, it is in black and white and must be acknowledged. Huanmei Group’s products couldn’t compete in quality and were crushed by rivals, making them unsellable. This caused our Dayang Company to suffer an immense loss."
"We spent ten million to purchase your products and another fifty million in various costs trying to sell them. In the end, it was all for naught! Asking Huanmei Group for thirty million in compensation, we at Dayang Company also suffered a loss of thirty million. As partners, shouldn’t Huanmei Group share the risks with us, Dayang Company?"
"Ten million worth of goods, and fifty million in various costs? Would your Dayang Company really do such a loss-making business? Mr. Liang, I won’t beat around the bush with you today, I’ll just be direct! Huanmei Group won’t pay you a penny! Before I came here, I was thinking of having you return the unsold goods. Whatever the amount, we’d buy it back at the original shipping price. Now, I’ve changed my mind. Keep the goods and slowly sell them off; don’t even think about getting a penny from Huanmei Group!"
Yu Keqing tired of the nonsense, stood up to leave.
There was no way Liang Wanliang would let this woman leave so easily.
If he didn’t get the money and she escaped, wouldn’t his efforts tonight have been in vain?
So, he immediately stood up, blocked Yu Keqing’s path, and barred her way.
This move shocked Yu Keqing.
She glared at Liang Wanliang, incredulously asking, "Mr. Liang, what do you mean by this?"
"Assistant Yu, you won’t pay the money, and you also want to leave? Wouldn’t that leave me empty-handed?"
"What do you mean?"
"If Assistant Yu doesn’t agree to the thirty million compensation, then the only option left is physical compensation."
Liang Wanliang stared at Yu Keqing, his eyes nearly bulging out.
This woman, she was truly beautiful.
Stunningly so!
"Step aside!"
Yu Keqing reached out to push Liang Wanliang, trying to shove him away.
However, Liang Wanliang was a man after all, much stronger than her, and she couldn’t push him away.
"Assistant Yu, I heard you’ve never married. Such a beautiful creature as yourself, how could you lack the nourishment of a man? Without a man’s nourishment, a tender and dripping rose like yourself will wither. Tonight, let me nurture you properly!"
"Get out of my way! If you don’t move, I’ll call for help!"
"Call then? Go on, call. I want to see if you can call anyone."
"He—"
Yu Keqing had just cried out for help when suddenly her voice became hoarse.
Then, her head started to feel dizzy.
The three glasses of Maotai Liang Wanliang gave her to drink were drugged.
Realizing her voice was hoarse and she couldn’t cry out,
Her head suddenly became very dizzy.
Yu Keqing instantly understood.
She had been drugged by Liang Wanliang.
Yu Keqing was petrified.
She tried to run out of the private room, but as soon as she took a step, her legs went weak, and with a thud, she fell to the ground.
On her way down, she also knocked over a chair, making a loud thud.
