Chapter 56 Destroying Cooperation

"I won't bring it up again! From now on, you are the big boss of my Hongtu Group, and I, this small boss, will listen to everything you say. Does that satisfy you?" Jiang Chenfeng said through gritted teeth.

[Honestly, if you weren't the Female Protagonist, I would bite you to death in a heartbeat!]

[Why are you meddling in the affairs of my Hongtu Group? This matter has nothing to do with you!]

[So, just because it's something I want to do, you have to go against me to perfect your persona as the righteous Female Protagonist, right?]

Liu Xinlan secretly chuckled to herself.

This guy is really interesting!

Calling herself the righteous Female Protagonist?

Then you must be the Villain, right?

Then I, as the righteous Female Protagonist, must definitely keep you, this big Villain, firmly under my control!

Jiang Chenfeng didn't know about Liu Xinlan's little schemes. He walked towards Lin Tian and Lan Xiaodie and said to Lan Xiaodie, "Xiaodie, I discussed it with Miss Liu, and we feel that we must follow your own opinion!"

"If you want to stay, then stay! I won't fire you. Work hard in the future; I have high hopes for you!"

A heavy weight lifted from Lan Xiaodie's heart, and she said earnestly, "Please rest assured, General Manager Jiang. I will definitely work hard to repay your great kindness!"

Did the matter seem to be over?

Yet it seemed it wasn't over!

[Lan Xiaodie has stayed, but what about this guy Lin Tian?]

[Just now, I wanted to forcibly fire Lan Xiaodie to force her to be with Lin Tian, in order to resolve this crisis.]

[Now that this stupid woman Liu Xinlan has messed it up, great! It's all fucking over, all my plans have gone down the drain!]

Jiang Chenfeng felt a massive headache coming on.

After he said the words about not firing Lan Xiaodie, and after Lan Xiaodie made her stance clear.

He clearly felt a cold gaze, like a sharp, peerless sword, shooting towards him.

Without a doubt, it was Lin Tian's gaze!

Originally, Lin Tian winning over Lan Xiaodie was a sure thing; all Jiang Chenfeng had to do was let go.

But this guy insisted on threatening Lan Xiaodie in private, unwilling to let her leave his side.

If Liu Xinlan weren't here, he would have unhesitatingly taken action to teach Jiang Chenfeng a lesson and force him to let go of Lan Xiaodie.

After meeting Lan Xiaodie, Lin Tian learned of Jiang Chenfeng's actions from her own mouth.

He also clearly knew that Lan Xiaodie had been enduring Jiang Chenfeng in every possible way, unwilling to tear off the mask of civility.

In other words, Lan Xiaodie had no affection for Jiang Chenfeng; she was merely enduring it for the high-paying job!

Since Lan Xiaodie wouldn't develop any affection for Jiang Chenfeng, why would she be willing to stay by his side?

If this isn't coercion, what is it?

Actually, Jiang Chenfeng was also very confused inside!

He couldn't figure out why Lan Xiaodie had to stay by his side.

He had clearly given her the chance to escape his clutches!

And he had even helped her resolve her worries. As long as she nodded in agreement, she could not only get rid of his pestering but also receive a large sum of money to live on.

Such a good thing—isn't that exactly what Lan Xiaodie wanted?

What on earth was going on?

The plot wasn't supposed to be like this!

"Jiang, you'd better pray you don't commit any crimes. If you ever fall into my hands, I promise to act on behalf of heaven and eliminate the pest for the people!" Lin Tian coldly glanced at Jiang Chenfeng, the murderous intent in his eyes undisguised.

"Brother Lin, you really misunderstood me. I absolutely have no intention of going against you!" Jiang Chenfeng wanted to cry but had no tears.

Haven't you seen how hard I've been trying to set the two of you up?

I've been trying so hard I'm practically smoking!

And yet, Liu Xinlan doused it all with a bucket of water.

The most tired person here is me!

None of you understand my good intentions!

Jiang Chenfeng felt too tired, exhausted both physically and mentally, and wished he could collapse into Liu Xinlan's chest and have a good sleep.

"There is no misunderstanding between us, only life and death!" Lin Tian dropped a harsh threat and turned to leave.

But halfway through, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Liu Xinlan, and said, "Xinlan, I have something to tell you. It's a major matter concerning the life and death of your Liu Group, you..."

"Mr. Lin, you no longer have any relationship with our Liu Group! I hope you understand this point. Even if our Liu Group truly faces a life-and-death crisis, it has nothing to do with you, do you understand?" Liu Xinlan said expressionlessly, raising her hand to interrupt him.

Lin Tian's expression was uncertain, but in the end, he didn't continue speaking and chose to leave the place.

The thing he wanted to say was that he had investigated and found that the Black Stone Group, which was collaborating with the Liu Group, had set a trap for the Liu Group.

If the Liu Group collaborated with the Black Stone Group, they would definitely fall into the Black Stone Group's trap and end up bankrupt.

Since Liu Xinlan didn't want to hear what he had to say, he didn't want to force it any further.

Of course, this didn't mean he would just give up on such an opportunity to gain favor!

He had to think of a better way to achieve his goal.

Since it was impossible to open a gap directly through Liu Xinlan, he could go and tell Liu Xinlan's father!

As long as Liu Xinlan's father knew and averted this life-and-death crisis in time, Liu Xinlan would definitely be grateful to him.

If Jiang Chenfeng knew of Lin Tian's thoughts, he would definitely think the protagonist's information was too outdated!

The collaboration between the Black Stone Group and the Liu Group had already been ruined by him!

After Lin Tian left, Liu Xinlan said to Jiang Chenfeng, "I came to your company to find you because my father asked me to invite you to have dinner at our house!"

"Dinner? Your father? Why does your father want to invite me?" Jiang Chenfeng asked in surprise.

Liu Xinlan replied, "Of course it's about that matter with Chang Heishi! I already told my father, and he is very grateful to you, so he asked me to invite you to dinner."

"Chang Heishi? What matter? I just didn't like the look of him at the time, so I hit him. It's good enough that I didn't cause trouble for your Liu Group; why is your father grateful to me?" Jiang Chenfeng feigned ignorance.

He dared not admit that he hit Chang Heishi for the sake of the Liu Group and sabotaged the collaboration between the two companies.

If he admitted it, it would be equivalent to gaining more favor with Liu Xinlan, and wouldn't their relationship get deeper and deeper?

"Didn't I say it? There was indeed a problem with Chang Heishi's contract, but it doesn't matter whether you knew it or not. In short, you helped our Liu family in a roundabout way, so it is only natural for my father to invite you to dinner," Liu Xinlan said.

"Helped your Liu family? Miss Liu, please don't misunderstand. I absolutely have no intention of helping your Liu family, so there is no need for your father to invite me to dinner!" Jiang Chenfeng explained.

Liu Xinlan looked deeply at Jiang Chenfeng and said lightly, "Alright then! Then I'll go find Lin Tian right now and tell him what you did in the conference room..."

"What time is dinner?" Jiang Chenfeng interrupted sternly.
