"Really..."

Su Xiaomeng still felt a bit lacking in confidence.

During the time Chen Lan had spent with Su Xiaomeng, he gradually got to know this woman better.

Her lack of confidence mostly stems from the modesty in her character.

Actually, Su Xiaomeng doesn’t know that most successful people in this world are very modest.

They speak little, believe they’re not good enough, yet in the eyes of others, they’re already perfect.

Only a half-filled bottle of water makes a constant ruckus.

Time ticked away second by second, and Su Xiaomeng roughly understood the planning content from Rong Group.

If only comparing the planning schemes of both parties, they’re actually not far apart, each with their own merits.

Su Xiaomeng knew...

Such a situation is unfavorable for the Yin Family.

Even though there are many factors that are not key considerations for the Bill Group in evaluating the Yin Family, one cannot deny that these factors are reasons for the Bill Group’s hesitation toward the Yin Family.

Rong Jing’s confidence is supported by a solid foundation.

Whereas Su Xiaomeng’s confidence is something she has to strive to maintain by convincing herself.

Their gazes met in mid-air.

Rong Jing looked at Su Xiaomeng with a profound gaze, the light in his eyes conveyed a condescending air, as if he had already won...

He wanted to commend Su Xiaomeng, after all, enduring this far took immense courage.

But when he truly met Su Xiaomeng’s gaze, the praise in his heart dissipated once again.

Ha, he thought this woman still had some self-awareness, but... it’s just that.

Even at such a time, she hasn’t seen the situation clearly.

Smile...

It’s just a pretense, I’ll see if you can keep up the facade until the end.

Rong Jing wasn’t mistaken; indeed, Su Xiaomeng was smiling, with a faint, fearless smile that seemed to understand everything calmly...

This expression was not unfamiliar to Rong Jing at all.

Countless times during direct competition with Yin Shixiu, how many times had he seen Yin Shixiu sitting in the audience with the same calm smile.

Strategizing with lowered eyes, commanding victory across a thousand miles with a glance.

Rong Jing was already at the final key project planning scheme...

Just then, Su Xiaomeng’s phone vibrated. She quickly swiped the screen, finally taking a long breath.

Meanwhile, Chen Lan, upon seeing the message Su Xiaomeng had received, couldn’t hide the joy on his face.

"It finally came."

He murmured.

Su Xiaomeng opened the video that was sent, silently watched it once, and then moved behind Mr. Bill, gently tapping on his shoulder.

Bill turned around.

Su Xiaomeng said a few words to him, and Mr. Bill nodded, taking Su Xiaomeng’s phone to have a look.

Rong Jing’s explanation continued, his eyes squinted slightly, his mind filled with some hesitation.

He wanted to see something from Su Xiaomeng’s expression, but Su Xiaomeng didn’t even glance at him.

Rong Jing looked again at the employees who had come with him, but at this point, the senior executives of Rong Group were also looking puzzled.

Getting directly in Bill’s face to see would be too impolite.

Rong Jing pursed his lips, attempting to discern something from the faces of Mr. Bill and the executives of the Bill Group.

Five or six minutes later, Bill put down the phone.

Rong Jing deliberately slowed down his explanation, just as he was about to resume at normal speed, he saw the secretary of the Bill Group walk to Mr. Bill’s side, and after a few words with him, Bill stood up angrily.

Along with the other executives of the Bill Group.

Rong Jing’s explanation wasn’t even finished, yet the representatives of the Bill Group had already left the conference room.

"Mr. Bill!"

Rong Jing shouted, but—

The other party didn’t even turn his head.

The secretary went to the podium, said a few words to Rong Jing, and his face changed drastically, his gaze instinctively fell on Su Xiaomeng.

Su Xiaomeng merely shrugged her shoulders slightly.

Shortly afterward, the secretary announced via microphone the ownership of the Asia-Pacific contract—Yin Group.

Su Xiaomeng lifted her chin slightly and stood up amidst the stunned Rong Group employees.

A group of people left their seats and walked to the secretary for pleasantries.

Rong Jing stood at the side, his sharp gaze fixated on Su Xiaomeng.

He couldn’t believe... Su Xiaomeng actually—

After the secretary of the Bill Group announced the result, she left the conference room without further delay.

Su Xiaomeng walked up to Rong Jing, held out her hand,

"Good game."

At this point, Rong Jing already knew why Bill left the meeting in anger.

The president of Huayong Technology had just held an online press conference, explaining a previous issue defaming Yin Group’s product, publicly stating that they had blamed Yin Group under pressure from Rong Group.

The president of Huayong Technology spoke very tactfully, but no matter how tactful, it revealed the malignant competition tactics of Rong Group.

Bill Group could tolerate Yin Group being embroiled in public opinion, as the drug smuggling issue hadn’t been concretely proven.

Smart people have their own judgment; there’s no need to wait for the Public Security Bureau to clarify for Yin Group, right?

But the video released today by the president of Huayong Technology pointed directly to Rong Group’s malicious suppression of Yin Group—a solid evidence.

How could Bill tolerate collaborating with a company that resorts to such despicable means in business competition?

Rong Jing looked at the hand Su Xiaomeng extended toward him...

Slowly, he shook it,

"Su Xiaomeng, is this what you call proving your strength?"

Standing at six feet tall, Rong Jing towered over Su Xiaomeng, who even wearing heels, only reached his nose, but she slightly lifted her pointed chin, and in that upward gaze, there was an aura of grandeur,

"Isn’t it?"

"Haha..."

Rong Jing gripped her hand tighter unconsciously; the delicate hand couldn’t withstand such force.

Yet, even as the pain was apparent, Su Xiaomeng didn’t flinch a brow.

Chen Lan, standing nearby, noticed something was wrong and was about to intervene, but Rong Jing released Su Xiaomeng’s hand.

Su Xiaomeng’s face maintained its faint smile.

Her fair and tender hand was already flushed with red.

"You’re quite something. Smarter than I thought."

"Rong Jing, there’s no need to praise me. You’ve used so many underhanded tactics against Yin Group that I don’t even consider returning the favor in equal measure, it was merely a small strategy."

"..."

"Compared to your sinister and cunning tactics, I’ve indeed won fair and square by my own strength."

"Su Xiaomeng, you don’t think that just this Asia-Pacific contract allows you to trample me, do you?"

"How could I? Rest assured, I will use more ’Asia-Pacific contracts’ to trample you, making you submit willingly."

Su Xiaomeng curled her lips into a smile and walked toward the conference room’s main doors.

Chen Lan and others followed behind her.

Leaving the conference room, Su Xiaomeng finally took a breather...

She stood at the entrance, lifted her eyes slightly, the sunlight was blindingly intense...

Shixiu, can you see it?

My deepest love is to become you after we’ve parted.

Hurry back home.

"Madam, your phone is ringing."

Su Xiaomeng collected the emotions swirling in her eyes and took out her phone, the caller display showed—Ming Xu.

Xiao Meng didn’t expect to receive a call from Shan Mingxu at this moment.

Chen Lan also saw the caller display.

Their gazes met briefly, seemingly understanding each other’s thoughts.

Chen Lan said to the accompanying employees,

"Thank you for your hard work today, you may leave first."

"Alright, Mr. Chen, President Su, we’ll let you get on with your work."

A person in charge led with a sentence, and then several others left first.
