  Before entering, Master Liu stopped and turned to look at Qin Ran. He slightly lowered his head, his whole momentum rather strong. “Madam Cheng, please refrain from talking at will later. We’ll move according to the situation.”


  Qin Ran took off her hat and only nodded.

  She never cared about the business.

  “Master, Mr. Cheng Jin said that the person inside is a little difficult to handle, and Mr. Cheng isn’t here this time……” Liu Jue’s face was a little dark beside him.

  She was afraid it would be too difficult to handle.

  As soon as they entered, they saw people in black standing on both sides.

  These people looked imposing and had fierce eyes and bearish backs. They were obviously not easy to provoke.

  Naturally, the Liu family also had guards trained in private. Whether it was the imposing aura or other aspects, they weren’t as good as these men in front of them. Hence, the Liu family and his party became even more vigilant.

  Liu Jue felt even more pressurized by these practitioners.

  Except for Liu Jue and Master Liu, the others were stopped by the men in black.

  On the contrary, Qin Ran and Cheng Mu looked the same as before and had no change in their expressions.

  Master Liu took another glance at Qin Ran, and a trace of surprise flashed across his eyes.

  They entered the hall to see a foreigner sitting at the coffee table.

  His eyes were deep-set.

  “Hello, I’m Liu Xiao, the person sent to negotiate with you on the Liu family’s behalf.” Master Liu first introduced himself to the foreigner.

  While he was speaking, Qin Ran had already found a seat and sat down. Having kept an eye on her, Liu Jue’s expression changed. He wanted to remind her when he saw that Kenneth didn’t say anything, so he heaved a sigh of relief instead.

  Kenneth put down the teacup and glanced away. He didn’t see Cheng Juan but instead saw Qin Ran following Master Liu.

  However, Qin Ran obviously wasn’t there to talk. She was just sitting in the corner of the sofa, playing with her cell phone, her drooping face a little impatient.

  He paused and put down his teacup.

  “Yes, I’m Kenneth.” Kenneth moved his gaze away from Qin Ran and spoke somewhat concisely to Master Liu.

  Those who had been dealing with Kenneth had always been at Cheng Juan and Giant Crocodile’s level. Master Liu was several levels below them.

  However, he was still a rather big figure. Although he didn’t know who Kenneth was, he could guess that he probably wasn’t a simple character. Master Liu talked to Kenneth about the handover without changing his expression.

  Without Cheng Juan present, Kenneth naturally tried to gain the upper hand in the contract.

  Staring at the weapon pinned to Kenneth’s waist, Liu Jue’s heart became even more vigilant.

  The atmosphere in the entire room seemed to freeze, and the flames of war were almost on the verge of breaking out.

  Cheng Mu, who had been watching Qin Ran and Kenneth closely, finally heaved a sigh of relief now that they didn’t show any signs of anger towards each other.

  He looked around and saw a tea set on the table as well as a pot of water.

  He walked over.

  The room was filled with the silent flames of war, and Master Liu was under tremendous pressure at the moment. Only Cheng Mu dared to move forward.

  Beside him, Liu Jue held his arm and lowered his voice, “Mr. Cheng Mu, what are you doing?”


  “Making tea,” Cheng Mu also whispered back. “Mr. Ken’s tea isn’t good.”


  The corners of Liu Jue’s mouth twitched, and his nerves were strained tightly. Cheng Mu was actually thinking of this trivial thing……

  “Mr. Cheng Mu, it’s not time to make tea……” Liu Jue looked at the terrifying customized TC-7152 gun at Kenneth’s waist, especially because Cheng Jin had once told him of it.

  “It’s okay.” When Cheng Mu saw that Kenneth hadn’t started fighting with Qin Ran, he relaxed. After all, they had even eaten Qin Hanqiu’s meal together at the Qin family’s house. He raised his arm slightly and shook Liu Jue’s hand away.

  Cheng Mu’s sneakers made squeaking sounds as he walked on the marble floor tiles. Although he didn’t walk forcefully, the sound was still somewhat obvious because of the originally quiet hall.

  “Squeak squeak.”


  Liu Jue stared at him and took a slight breath.

  He expected Kenneth or Kenneth’s men to throw Cheng Mu out. After all, these people didn’t look very nice.

  However, he was surprised to see that their expressions didn’t change the slightest bit.

  After making tea, Cheng Mu held the purple teapot, tilted his head, and asked Kenneth, “Mr. Ken, how much is your teapot?”


  Kenneth was in the midst of negotiating fiercely with Master Liu.

  Upon suddenly hearing Cheng Mu’s serious question, he turned his head and was stunned for a moment. “I don’t know, they prepared it casually.”


  “This tea set isn’t good. Although it looks like the Qin family’s tea set, it’s still a little lacking.” Cheng Mu brought the tea over and poured a cup for Qin Ran. He looked at Kenneth. “Mr. Ken, do you want a cup?”


  Kenneth handed him his teacup, took a sip, and nodded. “That’s right, the tea set is indeed a lot different from Brother Qin’s. Next time I go to Beijing, I’ll have to ask Brother Qin to buy a set for me.”


  He turned to look at Qin Ran. “Why are you in Shanghai?”


  “I have things to do.” Qin Ran was playing a game at the moment. She put her phone away, took the teacup from Cheng Mu, and then looked at Kenneth with her legs propped up. “Have you finished negotiating?”


  “Almost,” Kenneth spoke in rough Mandarin.

  Although he had a bit of a grudge against Qin Ran, he wasn’t a child and could look at the overall situation. During the wedding that time, he had also seen that Qin Ran and Cheng Juan’s friends shared half of the seats each.

  Although Kenneth was vicious, he was no fool. Furthermore, Qin Ran was friends with Matthew.

  Cheng Mu’s worry was completely unnecessary.

  This was also the reason why Cheng Juan was relieved to let Qin Ran come here.

  Qin Ran checked the time on her phone impatiently and directly said, “It’s been 10 minutes. How long more?”


  Ten minutes was actually not long. The normal negotiation time was actually one or two hours. They had barely just started.

  “Soon. Your family’s requirements for the contract are too demanding. I don’t have to cooperate.” Kenneth handed the document to her. “Take a look.”


  Qin Ran was impatient with business matters.

  However, since Kenneth had given it to her, she endured it and took a look.

  She flipped through the few pages in less than a minute, then casually threw a new contract on the table. Raising her chin, she looked at him and said, “Sign it.”


  “60%.” Kenneth shook his head.

  Even if Cheng Juan was here today, he wouldn’t let go of 60%.

  Qin Ran pointed at the table. “I’ve read it. 50% won’t do you any bad. You’re just worried about checking the goods. I’ll help you get a pass from Matthew.”


  Kenneth had naturally heard about Matthew and Qin Ran.

  Upon hearing this, he was indeed moved. He took a cigarette out of his pocket and pinched the lighter with his fingers. “Are you sure?”


  “Of course, as long as it’s not too illegal.” Qin Ran had read the contract and knew that it was also beneficial for Matthew. Kenneth would owe her a favor, and Matthew would also break into Continent F.

  Kenneth stared at her for a long time. He knew that Qin Ran wouldn’t joke about this matter.

  “Let me contact him for you first.” Qin Ran took out her phone and dialed a number.

  She hadn’t saved Matthew’s number, and it was just a string of codes.

  Standing behind her, Liu Jue stiffly looked at the number of Continent M.

  Ten minutes later, Kenneth signed the contract with a black pen.

  He pushed the document to Master Liu.

  Master Liu was frozen in place.

  Kenneth wrinkled his brows and bit the unlit cigarette. He ground his teeth and said rather fiercely, “You’re not signing?”


  Master Liu was speechless.

  He just didn’t expect it to go so smoothly.

  However, his heart was firm. After calming down, he signed the contract.

  It took only half an hour for Qin Ran to come out with this contract.

  They had gone in at 9 pm, and it was only 9:30 pm when they came out.

  Waving to Master Liu and buckling the black peaked cap on her head, Qin Ran said, “Master Liu, you can handle the rest. I’ll take my leave.”


  Master Liu and his party sent her off in a daze.

  Cheng Mu slowly drove away.

  Standing at the door, the other Liu family members asked anxiously, “Why did you come out in just half an hour? Master, did the negotiation fall through?”


  Master Liu stared at the black car without speaking.

  Seeing that he was silent, the others exchanged glances and turned to Liu Jue, asking anxiously, “Liu Jue, what happened?”


  Liu Jue retracted his gaze and turned to them. “We successfully signed the contract.

  “Not only that, but we didn’t need to use the 55% contract that Mr. Cheng had prepared. We signed with 60%.”


  60% was just their first price.

  Negotiations in business naturally had backup plans. The 60% contract had just been a form of negotiation with Kenneth, like how he had demanded 50%.

  Cheng Juan’s second contract had been 55%.

  Madam Cheng’s name was easier to use than Young Master Cheng…… by a lot more??
