"Do we look like dumb cattle in a butcher's shop waiting for you to slaughter?" Belinda wasn't deterred. She wasn't as experienced as Edward was, but she had studied Commercial Management for a good number of years, she knew how to handle this kind of a situation.

  Edward broke into laughter when he heard the metaphor. She was indeed a tough woman!

  "So what would you suggest? What's your counter-offer?" Edward knew the market price. He had done his homework before seeing her. Compared to current market price, his price was a bit higher. As long as there was a profit margin, he could give the partner a proper cut.

  "Cut down your price by two percent, or at least one. Then, we have a deal." Belinda was a smart woman. She knew that the way forward is through diplomacy and negotiation. So she didn't ask too much or say anything definitive, fearing they might not reach an agreement if she did.

  "You're a good negotiator, Miss Shangguan. You're really sincere, it would be stupid for me not to do business with you. So, we have a deal. It's a great experience negotiating with a beauty like you. I can smell the sweetness in the air now." Edward said with a grin on his face.

  Belinda rolled her eyes. What a playboy! He never forgot to show his blatant allure whenever he spoke.

  "Okay, I'll have my secretary prepare a new agreement soon. Happy partnership, Mr. Mu!" Belinda Shangguan stretched out her delicate hand and gently touched his, and smiled back.

  "Well, as long as you no longer ask me out for tea, I think we'll be very happy." Edward said. At that moment, he remembered Daisy. He suddenly missed her. What was she doing? Was she out or was she home?

  "As long as you

  st returned home from abroad." Since Duke didn't have business with YS Group, he didn't really know her.

  "What? Are you kidding me?" She seemed like a spoiled girl, not at all like a CEO.

  "Don't underestimate her. She has her way when it comes to business." In fact, he himself had initially underestimated her.

  "Really? If you say so, it must be true." Edward's words aroused Duke's interest in her. He was curious of what was hiding behind that furious face.

  "You will know. Oh, what're you doing here?" It was unusual for him to be here.

  "Well, I'm here to meet a client, what about you? Same reason?" Duke always spoke in a soft tone when he was in front of Edward, his good friend.

  "Yeah, here she is! Always giving me trouble." Edward sighed.

  "Well, I have forgotten that you have business with them. God, how can she be so fierce? She's always so aggressive." Duke remembered the quarrel with her in the parking lot earlier that day, he shook his head in disgust.

  "Yeah, I know. She's a tough woman. Maybe you could take her home and spare everyone else on her way the trouble ." Edward snickered at him.
