Top Grade Pure Beauty CEO

"Director Zhang, next year, Lin Corporation will not continue to advertise in your newspaper agency."

A simple sentence instantly stiffened the expressions on the faces of the three people from the morning paper.

Li Xiaoyao, who was smoking, rolled his eyes upon hearing this.

What happened to being a bit more tactful?

Is this your idea of tact?

A few seconds later, Zhang Yue's rigid face twitched, and with a forced chuckle, he said, "Miss Lin, you really have quite the sense of humor."

Lin Yuanyuan's beautiful brows slightly furrowed as she replied, "Do you think I'm the kind of person who has so much time that I can joke with you?"

"Miss Lin, may I ask what the reason is? If it's because of the price, I can assure you..."

Lin Yuanyuan rudely interrupted him, saying, "It has nothing to do with the price. After discussion by the professionals at Lin Corporation, our main promotional efforts in the future will be online."

"Traditional print media is in decline, and the era of the internet has arrived. Therefore, Lin Corporation has chosen to terminate our collaboration with your newspaper," Lin Yuanyuan stated each word methodically, her voice even and her tone indifferent, as though she were merely stating something trivial.

Indeed, for Lin Yuanyuan, ending a collaboration with a newspaper agency was a very trivial matter.

The atmosphere in the conference room fell silent for a few seconds. It seemed Lin Yuanyuan had no desire to stay any longer, so she stood up and said, "If there's nothing else, then please leave. I have another meeting soon and won't be seeing you out."

Even sending off guests was done so directly.

A young man next to Zhang Yue stood up and said, "Miss Lin, while the influence of traditional print media may not be what it used to be, it's not that bad. This can be seen from our Morning Paper's circulation."

"Hmm," Lin Yuanyuan nodded and asked, "Anything else? If not, please leave. I have a meeting soon and won't be seeing you out."

Zhang Yue, who had been silent until then, suddenly stood up and said, "Miss Lin, perhaps your honored father is not yet aware of this matter."

Lin Yuanyuan's eyebrows twitched as she replied, "Perhaps, you gentlemen haven't quite understood the situation. I am the Executive Director of Lin Corporation. What to do and what not to do, you needn't worry about."

"Heh," Zhang Yue suddenly laughed and said, "As the Chairman of Morning Paper, I must responsibly remind you. Collaborating with traditional newspapers can only benefit you, there are no downsides. But if you truly decide to terminate the contract, then there might be some unpleasant matters occurring next."

Lin Yuanyuan's face turned frosty as she asked, "Are you threatening me?"

Zhang Yue chuckled and replied, "Calling it advice might be more accurate."

Lin Yuanyuan's delicate face looked overcast as she said, "Xiaoyao, see the guests out!"n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

Li Xiaoyao, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth, stood up and walked over, saying indifferently, "Let's go."

The young man glanced at Li Xiaoyao, looking like a ruffian, and said, "This has nothing to do with you, get lost."

Lin Yuanyuan looked at the young man with surprise and asked, "Did you curse at him?"

The young man snorted disdainfully as he gazed at Li Xiaoyao and said, "We're discussing business with your boss. Who gave a servant like you the gall to butt in?"

"Are you talking to me?" Li Xiaoyao said, raising an eyebrow.

"Xiao Qi!" Zhang Yue shouted, but the young man snorted haughtily, looking skywards and said, "Know your place, you are nothing but a dog... Ah!"

Before he could finish his last word, Li Xiaoyao suddenly made his move.

Li Xiaoyao grabbed Xiao Qi by the neck, and the "Ah!" that escaped him was suddenly cut off as he desperately grasped at Li Xiaoyao's hand, trying to pry it open.

But the strength in Li Xiaoyao's hand was something he couldn't match.

Zhang Yue and another girl were startled by Li Xiaoyao's sudden action; once they regained their composure, they shouted, "Let go!"

Li Xiaoyao ignored them, gripping Xiao Qi's neck and saying in an icy voice, "I'll teach you a lesson today, so you learn that being a person requires some quality."

Having said that, Li Xiaoyao raised his hand and slapped Xiao Qi's face, causing one side of Xiao Qi's face to swell up immediately.

Li Xiaoyao let go, and Xiao Qi tried to charge at him but was held back by Zhang Yue.

"Let's go," Zhang Yue said, his face ugly.

After the three of them left, Li Xiaoyao said, "With that temper of yours, if you really became the Chairman, the company would have gone bust long ago."

"You think I'm like you? Throwing punches the moment something doesn't go your way?" Lin Yuanyuan scorned, "I've managed the sales department for three months, and the performance has increased by thirty percent."

Li Xiaoyao just thought she was boasting and didn't take it seriously.

His phone buzzed in his pocket, a text message from Zhang Meng.

The message was short, just a few sentences.

"Xiaoyao brother, if one day you fall for another girl, please tell me; I won't cling to you."

Li Xiaoyao's expression changed, his eyebrows knitting together.

"What's wrong? Got dumped by a woman?" Lin Yuanyuan teased, seeing the change in his expression.

Li Xiaoyao put away his phone, his face expressionless, and said, "At least I have women, do you even have a man?"

Lin Yuanyuan's eyebrows lifted, her eyes narrowing, she said, "Looks like you really got dumped. Since you're heartbroken today, I'll spare you the argument."

"What a vicious woman."

Lin Yuanyuan chuckled, "Li Xiaoyao, want me to teach you a few tricks? I tell you, I understand women much better than you do."

Li Xiaoyao leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, and completely ignored her.

Lin Yuanyuan, oblivious to the need for silence at such a time, leaned in and said, "Actually, handling women only requires eight words."

Counting off on her fingers, Lin Yuanyuan said, "Pretty, behavior, buy, not fat, my fault."

"As long as you master these eight-word mantra, you'll have the world at your feet, and beauties galore!"

Li Xiaoyao felt this woman might not be completely useless after all; at least, what she was saying at the moment seemed quite feasible to him.

"And for dealing with men?"

Lin Yuanyuan gestured an eight with her hand and said, "Also eight words!"

Li Xiaoyao, genuinely interested, said, "Let's hear it."

"Handsome! Hard! Big! So good! Fuck me hard!"

Li Xiaoyao: "..."

...

Lin Yuanyuan started getting busy; she had to personally deal with many matters at Lin Corporation.

Li Xiaoyao watched as Lin Yuanyuan transformed from a no-holds-barred crazy woman to a professional career woman in an instant, and felt the world was too unreal.

Li Xiaoyao didn't have much time to waste on Lin Yuanyuan. He went out, got into his car, and drove to the Gone with the Wind bar.

San Tiao Alley was now completely under the control of Li Xiaoyao's people and Zhao Si's people.

Li Xiaoyao found Zhao Ge and took out an IOU from his pocket, "This kid's name is Lian Ping, check his exact address. Take this IOU and collect the money."

"Two hundred thousand!"

Zhao Ge was startled by the number on the IOU.

"Zhao Ge, you're in charge of so many people now, you control so much territory; is two hundred thousand really worth such excitement?" Li Xiaoyao pointed at the IOU, said, "It says here pay back two hundred thousand within three days, and it's been over ten days now, it's not just this amount. Tell him, one million, if he doesn't pay up, cripple him."

Zhao Ge nodded; he had grown accustomed to handling these legally gray matters for Li Xiaoyao.
