155: Chapter 151: Drill 155: Chapter 151: Drill On the road, Li Zhaojun, whose elegant face had been frosty, suddenly said, “Do you know about the recent happenings at the company?”
Was it about the patent being stolen?” Ye Fan replied casually while focusing on driving.
“Emali Group is considering a partnership with us to establish a joint-owned Biomedical technology company,” Li Zhaojun said.
Ye Fan immediately sneered, “Emali Group has pretty thoughts, stealing from others and still wanting others to help them make money.
Only a fool would agree.”
Li Zhaojun, seemingly intent on guiding Ye Fan’s business thinking, sneered, “Not necessarily.
Under normal business models, although Emali Group stole the patent, with Emali unable to retrieve it and the patent being crucial to Emali’s do-or-die strategy, Emali would have no choice but to cooperate with Emali Group.
They’d lose some benefits, but Emali would not only survive but also gain some profits.
This is a win-win situation.
There are no enemies in the business world, only interests.
“I certainly don’t understand,” Ye Fan said matter-of-factly.
“I only know that if someone steals my stuff, I have to take it back and then shoot them dead.”
Li Zhaojun was infuriated, feeling her previous efforts to reason were in vain: “Shallow!
Taking childishness as a glory!”
“Haha, if this is being shallow and childish, I would rather remain shallow and childish forever,” Ye Fan laughed.
“Hmph!” Li Zhaojun snorted heavily, deciding not to talk to Ye Fan anymore, ready to give up on inquiring how Ye Fan planned to retrieve the patent from Emali Group.
Without asking, she could guess that Ye Fan would boastfully speak of pointing a gun at Emali Group’s chairman, Xiao Jingguo, to reclaim the patent.
Her reason for having Ye Fan drive her wasn’t because she was tired, but rather to use the opportunity of sharing a ride to guide Ye Fan’s business thinking.
Upon reaching the second floor of the small building with red walls, Ye Fan asked, “Shall we hold hands?”
“Yes,” Li Zhaojun said emotionlessly, “Also, when you meet Grandfather, you need to act a bit more affectionate with me.”
To what extent?” Ye Fan said playfully, his gaze falling on Li Zhaojun’s slender waist which barely filled his grasp.
Noticing Ye Fan’s look, Li Zhaojun scorned him with the corner of her eye but coldly said, “You may hug my waist.”
“Uh?” Ye Fan was startled.
He wasn’t pleased, but rather worried for Elder Li’s well-being.
With the sensitivity of a woman’s waist and a man’s head, knowing Li Zhaojun’s character, allowing him to feign closeness by hugging her waist must mean Elder Li’s health was truly deteriorating.
Li Zhaojun didn’t immediately hear the lewd laughter she expected, instead using her peripheral vision to glance at Ye Fan’s face and noticed this superficial, shameless fellow actually did not look pleased, his expression somewhat somber.
“You don’t like it?” Her pretty face turned frosty.
How many people schemed endlessly just for a chance to be close to her, and now you’re allowed to pretend to be intimate by hugging her waist, a grand favor, yet you dare not to show ecstatic happiness but look displeased instead?
Could it be I, Li Zhaojun, am inferior to Lu Xiaoman or that vixen Hu Jing?
Ye Fan snapped back to reality, immediately putting on a frivolous smile and said, “Hehe, happy, of course I’m happy!”
“Hmph!” Li Zhaojun immediately snorted, her delicate white chin slightly lifted, her face full of disdain.
Ye Fan, seeing Li Zhaojun’s appearance, immediately felt annoyed and thought silently, “It was you who asked me to embrace your waist, and now that I’ve agreed, you look down on me for being good.
Well, not only do I want to hug your waist today, but more than once!”
“Hehe, pretending to be close in front of the old man is no problem,” he said playfully, “but are you sure when I actually embrace your waist, you can keep your body from stiffening and your expression from hardening?
If you can’t manage that, the old man will see through it, and it will backfire.”
Seeing that Ye Fan continuously leered at her waist, Li Zhaojun immediately understood his intention.
Still, she couldn’t guarantee that when he reached out his dirty hand, which had embraced other women’s waists, she wouldn’t kick him away on impulse.
After hesitating for a moment, she made a decisively compliant response, “Then what can you do?”
“Hehe, there’s always a way.
As the saying goes, one minute on stage takes ten years of practice off stage.
To avoid the old man detecting anything fishy, we need to do lots of rehearsals.
That means, whenever we’re free, we hug more,” Ye Fan suggested with a sinister look.
Li Zhaojun remained silent, just giving Ye Fan a cold look filled with undisguised contempt.
Silence was more powerful than words.
Ye Fan immediately felt the tremendous pressure from Li Zhaojun’s gaze and hesitantly changed his tune, “Of course, we don’t have enough time now, so let’s just do a few practice runs before it’s too late.”
His gaze accidentally swept across the beautiful front of Li Zhaojun’s chest, and he couldn’t help saying, “To achieve great results quickly, it’s best we hug face-to-face for a few minutes.
I believe after hugging, a mere waist embrace will be a piece of cake.”
“You dare?!” Li Zhaojun’s eyebrows immediately narrowed, her gaze suddenly sharp, exuding an unassailable authority.
Ye Fan, frightened, stepped back and said with a wry smile, “I’m just suggesting.
If you’re unwilling, then forget it.
No need to be so fierce.”
Li Zhaojun’s piercing gaze softened after a while, and she said, “Allow you to try embracing my waist three times.
Also, you’d better not make any other moves!”
Haha, now three times plus once inside the house makes four times.
What was said before about embracing once?
Ye Fan felt secretly pleased inside, but his face showed a look of reluctant acceptance.
“Alright, three times it is,” he sighed.
Then he took a big step forward and stood close to Li Zhaojun’s side, his arm touching her smooth and slightly cool arm, a slippery and soft sensation came along with a faint enticing fragrance.
Suddenly, Ye Fan felt an inexplicable stir in his heart, causing a slight acceleration in his heartbeat.
However, this was just a fleeting moment, as Li Zhaojun immediately moved aside a large step with a reflex and turned sharply to look at Ye Fan with displeasure, “Why are you so close!”
“Hehe, if I don’t get close, how can I embrace your waist?
I’m not a long-armed monkey,” Ye Fan said with a rascally smile.
“That still doesn’t mean you can be that close,” Li Zhaojun softened her expression.
Ye Fan immediately laughed and nodded, “Okay, okay, I won’t get too close.
Stand properly, I’m going to come over and embrace your waist.”
Although Li Zhaojun maintained a disdainful and proud face, her body couldn’t help but tremble slightly with nervousness.
This was the first time in twenty-six years of maintaining her chastity that a man was about to embrace her waist.
