After hearing Li Jieqiong's words, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but chuckle inwardly. He never imagined this woman would try to negotiate terms with him.
However!
Cheng Xiaofan actually admired her tenacious spirit a little.
Since he was going to acquire Li Jieqiong's group of companies anyway, he would eventually rely on her to help him manage them. A woman without strong perseverance couldn't achieve great things.
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, appearing nonchalant, and said, "Li Jieqiong, you want to negotiate terms with me? Alright, what terms? Tell me!"
Li Jieqiong said, "Mr. Cheng, I have an underground casino. The person managing it for me is a gambling king I invited from Macau. I'll stake all my assets. If you can defeat him, I will immediately transfer all my assets to you!"
"However, if you lose, you must not only remove the Fushigu needle from your body but also abandon the idea of claiming all my assets."
"Mr. Cheng, I heard you love challenges the most. Do you dare to accept this condition of mine?"
Her last statement clearly carried a hint of provocation.
Li Jieqiong's intention was obvious: if he didn't accept, it would mean he had chickened out.
If he chickened out, he would have to help her remove the Fushigu needle from her body and then get lost.
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan burst into laughter, gave Li Jieqiong a thumbs-up, and said, "That's a good idea. Fine, I accept your condition."
"However, I can tell this idea wasn't yours. It's a plan concocted by some big shot behind the scenes helping you."
Just then, Li Lili went out. He directly said to Li Jieqiong, "If I'm not mistaken, this person should be Li Lili's biological father!"
Li Jieqiong's expression changed.
She immediately said, "Mr. Cheng, don't talk nonsense!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered, "Li Jieqiong, I'm not talking nonsense. This person came to see you at the hospital yesterday and gave you this idea then."
Li Jieqiong blurted out, "How did you know?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "I saw it from the aura emanating from you!"
Aura again!
Li Jieqiong was going mad.
She had no privacy in front of him at all.
Li Jieqiong gritted her teeth and said, "You shouldn't know too many secrets about others; it's definitely not good for you."
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "Li Jieqiong, thank you. You don't need to worry about me. No one in this world can threaten me."
Li Jieqiong was almost at her breaking point.
What was she worrying about him for!
She wished he would die immediately!
She pouted and said, "Mr. Cheng, I just hope you won't spread certain matters carelessly outside, okay?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Don't worry. I'll still need your help managing the group company's business here in the future. Why would I spread these things out?"
"Besides, the big shot behind you might even become my subordinate in the future!"
"..." Faced with Cheng Xiaofan's arrogant demeanor, Li Jieqiong couldn't help but shake her head inwardly, feeling utterly speechless.
How could there be such a thick-skinned person in the world!
"Mr. Cheng, can we go to the casino now?" Li Jieqiong asked.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately said, "Li Jieqiong, I was waiting for you to say something. I was too embarrassed to urge you!"
"Oh, right, you'd better prepare the documents for all your assets in advance. I have exceptionally good luck and believe I absolutely won't lose!"
Li Jieqiong said, "Mr. Cheng, my Lili must have told you, I've already prepared all the asset documents. Next, it depends on whether you have the real skill to take them."
Cheng Xiaofan appeared eager and said with a smile, "Alright, let's go!"
Li Jieqiong immediately took out her phone and, in front of Cheng Xiaofan, dialed a number. She said, "Xiong San, Mr. Cheng has agreed to my conditions. Prepare yourself well!"
Then, Xiong San's hoarse voice came from the phone, "Reporting, Madam, I've already made all the arrangements and am just waiting for that brat to arrive!"
"Good, then that's all for now!" As soon as Li Jieqiong hung up the phone, Li Lili entered the room.
At this moment, Li Jieqiong smiled at her and said, "Lili, drive us to Mary's Supermarket!"
Mary's Supermarket, as it was called, was one of Li Jieqiong's subsidiary businesses, specializing in imported designer clothing, shoes, socks, and cosmetics.
Her underground casino was set up in the underground hall of Mary's Supermarket.
After getting into the car, Li Jieqiong explained to Cheng Xiaofan in detail how she managed Mary's Supermarket.
At this point, she felt there was no longer any need to hide things from Cheng Xiaofan.
This kid had heaven-defying eyes that could discern all sorts of information about others from their aura.
Even if she didn't introduce it, he might have already figured it out.
After listening to her introduction, Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Li Jieqiong, I know a large group of wealthy women in the capital are close to you. Your Mary's Supermarket is probably specifically for them. With their purchasing power, this single supermarket alone could bring you a very substantial income within a year!"
"Excellent! I greatly admire your business acumen, Li Jieqiong. After I win all your assets, I will hand over all those group companies to you and Li Lili to manage for me!"
"Rest assured, as long as you are willing to work diligently for me, I will definitely not mistreat the two of you!"
Li Jieqiong's face went dark.
Where did this guy get his confidence? He hadn't even reached the casino yet, and he was already so sure he would win!
But!
Once Cheng Xiaofan started talking, he couldn't stop.
He continued to expound, "Li Jieqiong, the gambling king you invited from Macau, isn't that Xiong San you just called? I'm sure he's no match for me!"
Li Jieqiong asked, "What makes you so sure he's not your opponent?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "Just based on his name!"
Li Jieqiong's brows furrowed, and she asked, "Is there something wrong with his name?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed heartily, "There's a saying, 'zhuang sǒng rèn xióng.' 'Zhuang sǒng' means to back down, and 'rèn xióng' means to show weakness."
"Clearly, his name is problematic. In front of me, he's completely defenseless!"
"Whether you believe it or not, what I'm saying is the truth!"
Li Jieqiong was so angry she wanted to laugh.
He was the king of Macau's casinos.
He had been active in casinos for decades with no defeats.
In this kid's mouth, the gambling king's name was problematic.
Such words could only fool children!
In Li Jieqiong's opinion, this kid was just playing psychological warfare with her.
At this moment, with a screech, Li Lili stopped the car. Cheng Xiaofan looked out of the car; they had arrived at Mary's Supermarket.
