Xiao Ran’s anger was extinguished on the spot by Murong Hongxue’s icy sarcasm.
He let go of his fist in a slump, the flushed anger on his face receded, and the arrogance that had just been born was completely extinguished.
Yes, if he didn’t accept this condition, his security business would not be able to start at all, and he wouldn’t even be able to enjoy 30% of the profit.
The most important thing was that his subsequent plans relying on this would not be completed at all.
Thinking of his follow-up plan, the pressure of revenge on his shoulders, and even the junior brother who he never met, but kindly helped him. He did not know what price he paid to facilitate this meeting…
He suppressed his anger, sat down, and forced a smile towards Murong Hongxue.
This meant that he did not dare to tear her face, and chose to return to the negotiating table again, returning to Murong Hongxue’s home court.
“Miss Murong, 70% is a little… too much. How about we split five to five, five to five?”
“Fifty percent…”
“It’s not impossible…”
Murong Hongxue was now like a devil who played with people’s hearts.
Her fluttering words, even a change in tone, easily aroused Xiao Ran’s inner nervousness.
“After all, I don’t want to force you too hard. 50%, Xiao Ran, I’ll give your junior brother a face and split the account by 50%. I agree.”
“Sigh……”
Xiao Ran let out a long sigh of relief, feeling a trace of happiness in his heart at this moment.
For many years, he had never experienced such a situation where he suffered extreme depression in his heart, but he had to show a smile to others.
It was that mysterious white-clothed junior brother again…
He facilitated this negotiation, and also made Murong Hongxue let go and agree to the request for a 50-50 split…
At this moment, his heart was full of gratitude to this mysterious junior brother!
“But other than that, Xiao Ran, if you want to cooperate with me, you have one more thing to do.”
At this moment, Murong Hongxue’s words suddenly came out lightly, and Xiao Ran’s feeling of relaxation and happiness was instantly destroyed and disintegrated, and the nervous emotion instantly assualted his heart.
“What’s up?”
“It’s a very simple matter.” Murong Hongxue raised a finger and finally said her real request,
“The next time you see Su Mingyuan in public, apologise to him in person.”
“Apologise to Su Mingyuan… face to face?”
As soon as he heard the name, Xiao Ran couldn’t help but lose control of his emotions.
The scene of that night wqs still vivid in his mind. The grievances and infamy he suffered were all because of that scoundrel, but now, Murong Hongxue actually asked him to apologise to Su Mingyuan?
Moreover in public?
Su Xuelan herself had strength and skill, and she could mobilise most of the resources of the Su family.
Not to mention Murong Hongxue, she was ruthless and single-handedly built her underground empire.
He, Xiao Ran was forced to bow his head once to them because of the situation, but… just Su Mingyuan’s ignorant and incompetent scumbag?
“Why!” he demanded.
“Just because he is the eldest son of the Su family, and because you made a mistake and did something wrong that night!”
Murong Hongxue’s voice suddenly became cold and stern, even a murderous.
“Xiao Ran, it’s not that I want you to publicly apologise to Su Mingyuan, but the Su family and the Xia family! Your remarks that night hit these two families in the face! You publicly apologise to Su Mingyuan and show an attitude of admitting your mistake, so that I can become the middle-man, mediating between these two companies. In this way, I can do business with you at ease. And if you don’t want to…”
She smiled sarcastically at Xiao Ran. “Do you think I will take the risk of offending the two great families and choose to cooperate with someone who has no background and no power like you?”
Xiao Ran’s fist suddenly became hard again.
He did not know why.
Bowing to Su Xuelan, okay.
Being submissive in front of Murong Hongxue. Accepted
But bowing his head to Su Mingyuan and apologising to this scoundrel in front of many people in public, especially his identity was Xue Qi’s fiancé…
Xiao Ran was extremely unwilling in his heart!
“Xiao Ran, since you can ask me to be soft on your business, it shouldn’t be difficult to apologise to Su Mingyuan in public, right?” Murong Hongxue said with a light smile.
Xiao Ran just clenched his fists and did not speak.
“Oh, forget it, looking at you, obviously you haven’t thought about it yet.”
She indifferently threw out a business card to him.
“Then when you think about it, figure it out, and apologise to Su Mingyuan in the next public meeting. After you do this, you can call me on the number above.”
“Now, you can go back and think about what I said.”
Murong Hongxue drove Xiao Ran away mercilessly, “See a visitor out!”
With a look of resentment, Xiao Ran and his subordinate Nick left Jinxiu Residence.
The negotiation result was not good for him, but it wasn’t too bad either.
As long as he could let go of his self-esteem and apologise to Su Mingyuan…
And this was the real purpose of Murong Hongxue’s negotiation.
When would be the next time Xiao Ran and Mingyuan would meet?
Hongyun Building two days later, where the plot took place.
After the last lesson, the will of the world would definitely oppress Mingyuan, forcing him to take away these variables in advance in order to make the next plot perfectly follow the novel.
It was like the last time Mingyuan tried to ask his sister Su Xuelan to come to him for a dinner date and keep the two of them away from the place where the plot took place.
But the damn will of the world thought that he had learned to predict, so that Mingyuan could be humiliated by Xiao Ran like what happened in the plot, so that he could pretend to be slapped in the face?
She, Murong Hongxue, would never allow it!
Before that, neither she nor Su Xuelan dared to disrupt the plot for fear that the Overlord would punish Mingyuan.
They all had to wait until Xiao Ran pretended to slap his face successfully before they dared to come on stage to reverse the situation. They stepped on Xiao Ran under his feet, making him just pretend to be too coercive, and how intense the humiliation and discomfort he suffered after the reversal.
And now…
If he was the son of the Overlord, the son of destiny, the protagonist of the world, Xiao Ran. He chose to be forced to be slapped in the face by Mingyuan, because of his own reasons, he did not let things develop according to the plot of the novel…
What qualifications and reasons do you have to punish and blame Mingyuan?
A sneer appeared on the corner of Murong Hongxue’s mouth.
This time, although she couldn’t play to help Mingyuan beat Xiao Ran’s face back.
But she could do better than last time, better than those other women!
Because this time, after Xiao Ran slapped Mingyuan in the face, she hurried to save the scene and reversed the situation.
Because this time, she wanted Xiao Ran to take the initiative to stretch his face over and let Mingyuan slap him.
