WARNING! Tsundere President

Xiang Jinxi pondered a little before nodding his head approvingly, “You have a point.”

“Of course, we should be more careful each time.” Qiu Jin added, “Thunderbolt Corp. might appear calm recently but there should be disputes among them I believe, while Huo Yunting hasn’t done anything possibly because he is expecting Huo Chen to assist him. The catch is, Huo Chen does not seem to be in the right shape to help.”

Xiang Jinxi did not agree to her inference, “Huo Yunting isn’t the kind of person who would seek help from others either.”

“Correct,” she raised her brows, “Unless—unless he’s aware of the fact that Eric has infiltrated Country Z. He might be a person of pride but he’s not a reckless person. Still, he’s all alone and he’s very much occupied handling you at the moment. Say if Eric had sneaked up on him, he would have asked Huo Chen to help him.”

Xiang Jinxi’s grip on the glass tightened. His eyes glowed in fascination.

Qiu Jin strolled towards him, “Actually you could have known the answer by simply asking Eric on the progress. If everything goes well, it shows that Huo Chen did not intend to interfere with this.”

“Right.” Xiang Jinxi’s expression lightened up and dialed Eric to inquire about the updates.

Eric’s voice rang impatiently, “Well, everything is fine except that Jiang family, maybe. They were rather stubborn you see. They not only refused my offer, but also showed hostility. I think they are planning something to get rid of us.”

“Well, that’s how the world works.” Hearing how Huo Chen was probably not involved in the scene, Xiang Jinxi felt relieved as he laughed.

Jiang family is a known force among the mafia group. They can be even called the leader of the underworld. And now you, an outsider, come in wanting to take the lead instead.

I wouldn’t say ‘yes’ to you either if I’m from the family.

“Mr. Eric, I suggest you put away your pride temporarily to form a better ally, considering how it’s natural for a new member to get repelled by others in the house. Think about this, once you have convinced Jiang family, the entire herd will follow you, they will be more cooperative. From there you expand your forces and once you’ve got them, you can just eliminate the family if you like.”

“I understand.” Eric understood the situation.

“Update me if anything. Good bye and good luck,” and Xiang Jinxi hung up in joy.

“I think we can do something about Lu Zhaoyang too,” added Qiu Jin.

“No.”

“Why not?”

Xiang Jinxi tilted his head towards Qiu Jin as he sensed the curiosity in her eyes, “If we did something to Lu Zhaoyang, it might enrage Huo Chen, motivating him to join forces with Huo Yunting.”

The woman looked calmer than before as Xiang Jinxi smiled in fulfilled manipulation.

“By the way, I heard that they have a daughter recently.”

“A weak one too, I heard.”

Xiang Jinxi took a sip of his Cheval Blanc 1947 St-Emilion, it tasted better knowing his victory, “Well, it’s easier to do something to a baby than an adult, don’t you think?”

Qiu Jin nodded her head.

“I agree.”

“It’s time to send her out.”

——

“Don’t call me to put up a show next time. I’m from the military, not Hollywood,” said Huo Chen on the phone helplessly as Huo Yunting checked out his precious giggling baby in the incubator.

She was getting healthier as her body grew fuller each day. Her hair was no longer bald but covered with curly and bushy hair. The feminine feature reminded him of his beloved wife although the daughter’s eyes and brows moved a lot like his.

She will be a person more successful than her parents, that was for sure.
