Coastal First Grade, Rooftop!
Su Yanyu was dressed in a dark business suit, stern and unsmiling, while Zheng Longyun sported a white suit, exuding charm. The stark contrast between their outfits seemed somewhat jarring!
Despite Zheng Longyun initiating various topics, Su Yanyu kept her head down, eating slowly and methodically, responding with a nonchalant "Hmm" now and then. No matter how refined Zheng Longyun tried to appear, he eventually ran out of words.
Seeing Zheng Longyun fall silent, Su Yanyu took a sip of red wine to rinse her mouth, wiped her lips with a napkin, and said, "President Zheng, let's not beat around the bush. Let's get to the point of why you invited me here this time."
"If I said I just wanted a chance to be friends with President Su, would you believe me?" Zheng Longyun smiled elegantly.
"I don't believe it." Su Yanyu replied bluntly without a thought.
Zheng Longyun was taken aback, not expecting Su Yanyu to show him no respect. Having been insulted by Lin Fan earlier, and now belittled by Su Yanyu, Zheng Longyun felt he had never faced such humiliation in his life!
Zheng Longyun composed himself, suppressing his anger, and smiled patiently, "Actually, I wanted to invite President Su to propose a collaboration."
"What do you mean?" Su Yanyu remained uninterested, unimpressed by Zheng Longyun's words.
"I know that President Su has brought a new energy technology back to the country this time. If our two companies collaborate, with our financial power combined with President Su's technology, I believe it won't be long before we reach the pinnacle of the global business world. Doesn't President Su want to become the queen of the business world?" Zheng Longyun offered an olive branch with a smile.
Anyone else hearing these words might pretend to contemplate, even if they disagreed, but Su Yanyu was different. Her straightforward nature never forced herself into anything she didn't like!
"On the contrary, I prefer to rely on my own strength to become the queen of the business world." Su Yanyu's voice was calm, yet every word was filled with a sense of dominance and trust in her own abilities!
With these words, a cold gleam quickly flashed in Zheng Longyun's eyes, and his hand under the table clenched into a tight fist!
"President Su should know that our Zheng Group is also developing new energy. Currently, the top levels in Huaxia are placing great emphasis on this, planning to choose a promising group in each city to develop."
"Although President Su has the latest technology, our Zheng Group is not to be underestimated. If it truly comes down to a fight, it's uncertain who will win! Of course, being at odds with President Su is not something I wish to see."
Zheng Longyun's face was full of sorrow as he sighed helplessly.
"What does President Zheng mean?"
Zheng Longyun pondered for a moment and said, "As long as President Su agrees to one condition, our Zheng Group is willing to withdraw!"
Su Yanyu's eyebrows immediately furrowed!
She could clearly assess the situation; the financial strength of Zheng Group surpassed that of Yanyu Group. As Zheng Longyun stated, if an actual battle ensued, Yanyu Group would certainly be at a disadvantage!
"What condition?" Su Yanyu asked in a firm voice.
"Very simple! You, Su Yanyu, marry me!" Zheng Longyun said, narrowing his eyes as he closely scrutinized Su Yanyu's graceful figure.
One can't help but wonder what this Ice Mountain goddess would be like in bed?
As soon as Zheng Longyun spoke, the atmosphere in the restaurant immediately froze!
Su Yanyu was the Immortal President of Yanyu Group, and Su Funong's only daughter. Everything of Su Funong belongs to Su Yanyu. If Su Yanyu were to marry Zheng Longyun, it would be akin to giving the entire Yanyu Group as a dowry to Zheng Longyun!
"Is President Zheng joking?" Su Yanyu sneered coldly.
"Heh, does President Su think I'm joking? I've been infatuated with you at first sight." Zheng Longyun replied with charm.
"If President Zheng has nothing else, I'll be leaving first."
Su Yanyu was truly disgusted by Zheng Longyun's superficially gentlemanly yet innately vile demeanor, and she rose to leave.
Seeing this, a flicker of icy light flashed in Zheng Longyun's eyes, but he quickly concealed it, saying, "President Su, please wait a moment."
"Is there anything else?" Su Yanyu asked, her tone deep.
"If we can't be a couple, can't we still be friends? Coastal First Grade is by the sea, with beautiful views. An evening walk by the seaside can be very pleasant. I wonder if President Su would honor me with a walk?" Zheng Longyun was reluctant to let Su Yanyu leave.
After hesitating for a long while, Su Yanyu, who had already refused once, decided that rejecting Zheng Longyun again might provoke him into doing something excessive, and with the sparse crowd at the seaside, she wasn't too worried about any plots he might have, so she agreed!
...
Meanwhile, at the seaside of Coastal First Grade!
The breeze blew, making a "whooshing" sound, like the deep voice of the ocean, as couples strolled hand in hand across the colorful sand, enveloped in joyful laughter.
"Their lives are so carefree," Lin Fan observed all of this, a hint of envy in his eyes.
Thinking back to his past, Lin Fan could only muster a bitter smile.
"It's been so long since we've met, I wonder how those brothers are doing now?" Lin Fan sighed, lifting his head, his mind flashing back to the bloodbath three years ago!
Back then, it was the peak of the "Suicide Squad" he had founded, numbering over a thousand, it was the talk of the Dark Realm. Even the top ten gods of the Dark Realm dared not easily challenge Lin Fan.
But because of that bloody night, the "Suicide Squad" was almost erased!
That night, Lin Fan led his brothers out in full force to Europe for a ten-billion US dollar mission. Tragically, it was a trap to completely annihilate Lin Fan!
After overpowering the enemy, Lin Fan was about to retreat when three shells suddenly descended, mercilessly bombarding the main force, killing hundreds on the spot!
Following that, enemies surged from all sides, pushing them into an abandoned castle with no way out!
"Approximately three thousand enemies are in front, about a thousand from the rear, two thousand on each side, with two tanks leading each direction. Boss, we've been surrounded—plus, their firepower is formidable!"
"Damn, it's a conspiracy to wipe out the entire 'Suicide Squad!' Damn it! Do they really think we're easy targets? Boss, you go first, we'll hold the rear!" A brother exclaimed valiantly.
"I led you down this path; I must take responsibility for your lives. They're targeting me, you retreat first, I'll cover!" Lin Fan clenched his fists tightly, eyes bloodshot, his entire body drenched in blood.
"We're brothers, born together, dying together if need be!"
"Boss, from the day we joined you, we entrusted our lives to you. As long as you're alive, we have no regrets. If you die, even if we survive, we're too ashamed to live on in disgrace. You must escape!"
"That's right! Boss, there are simply too many enemies, and their tanks are closing in. Once they reach firing range, they will start shooting. If we delay any longer, none of us will make it out alive!"
"You guys, get the boss out of here immediately! If anything happens to the boss, I'll never forgive you, even in death. Go now!"
Boom~
Just then, a loud explosion rang out!
A missile flew across the sky, mercilessly hitting the castle, collapsing half of it. Right in front of Lin Fan, the brother who had just urged him to escape had his head blown apart by shrapnel.
