156: Chapter 156: The Beautiful CEO’s Encouragement 156: Chapter 156: The Beautiful CEO’s Encouragement “Minister Qiu, Yaki Haruko was defeated by that young man from Xu Corporation.
Out of respect for our company’s dignity, she proposed that you duel him.
However, that young man is simply too thuggish, and he proposed this condition…”
The kneeling vice-captain didn’t feel any shame, instead he knelt very comfortably and said with a lickspittle smile, “Although that boy took advantage multiple times during the fights with Yaki Haruko, and he even set such a prerequisite, I believe that as long as you step in, Minister, that boy will definitely not be your match!”
A deep shadow flashed in Qiu Shantian’s eyes.
To know, Yaki Haruko was the woman he had long coveted and was determined to have.
Yet, a man from China took advantage of her first, and even agreed to such an excessive request.
“This time, I will definitely not go easy, even if the law binds me, I am not afraid, I will make sure that boy has no place to be buried!”
Qiu Shantian’s eyes were icy cold as he gritted his teeth and said word by word.
Behind him, there was a large banner with huge Japanese calligraphy written on it: The Spirit of the Samurai!
Over at Xu Corporation, after Ning Fan instructed Zhu Xuetao to secretly investigate Long Tianze’s background, he sat leisurely on the lobby sofa, sipping coffee.
He didn’t take the so-called Security Minister of Lü Real Estate seriously.
But with his usually cautious nature, being cautious never hurt.
Just as he was relaxing his muscles, striving to keep his condition at its peak, a series of footsteps interrupted his meditation.
“I heard you are going to duel Qiu Shantian?”
A crisp voice arose from behind him, it was Lan Kexin’s voice.
“Hmm, you’ve heard about it too?
The news does travel fast.”
Ning Fan smiled indifferently and sipped his coffee.
“I advise you to give up!”
Lan Kexin hesitated a moment, but still spoke the words she had been pondering over for a long time on the way here.
Seeing Ning Fan’s indifferent expression, her face showed a slight trace of anger as she said seriously, “I’m not joking with you, you don’t understand Qiu Shantian, and that’s why you’ve fallen into their trap, rashly agreeing to duel her!”
“He is one of the top ten young masters of the Island nation, Qiu Shantian is a place amongst them.
Unlike others who are more focused on researching the spirit of Martial Arts, Qiu Shantian is one of the rare true killers,
he had won the Judo championship three times, a master in Karate, and in Jianghu it is even rumored that he knows the long-lost art of Ninjutsu!”
The worry was clear on Lan Kexin’s face: “Although I don’t know why he would stoop to being a Security Minister in a real estate company, but facing him, your chances of winning are almost nil!”
“Just for that reason, you want me to give up?”
Lan Kexin’s detailed introduction finally made Ning Fan take on a serious expression as he asked.
“That’s right!”
Though knowing that Ning Fan was already somewhat angry, Lan Kexin still insisted and said, “I don’t want to see you get hurt, and with Qiu Shantian’s Blade Technique, those who duel him have a nine in ten chance of dying.
I can’t just watch you go and throw your life away!”
“What if I tell you I will win, would you believe it?”
Ning Fan stood up, smiling as he spoke.
“Although I really want to believe, logic tells me, you’ll lose, and you’ll lose your life!”
Lan Kexin took a deep breath and slowly said, “Please, Ning Fan, promise me, don’t fight.”
“Heh.”
Ning Fan gave a slight smile, pushed Lan Kexin, who was blocking his way, aside, and walked to the window in the hall.
He looked at the distant scene of bustling people and weaving traffic.
“If we don’t respect ourselves, who else will respect us?
No wonder others insult us as the ‘sick men of East Asia.'”
After saying this, the light in Ning Fan’s eyes gradually condensed as he declared word by word, “I must fight this battle, not only for my dignity but also for the dignity of Xu Corporation and, even more broadly, for the dignity of our country!”
“And moreover…”
Ning Fan’s smile curled up slightly as he added softly, “I don’t believe I will lose.
If you don’t believe it, just wait and see.”
After these words, Ning Fan turned around and left, leaving only a half-cup of cold coffee on the coffee table.
Lan Kexin stared at his departing figure, her expression gradually becoming perplexed.
She had once thought she knew Ning Fan very well, but now it seemed her understanding was mistaken.
She had never truly known the real him!
Ning Fan had only just left the Xu Corporation hall when the cellphone in his jacket pocket started to vibrate.
“Hello?”
Ning Fan slightly frowned.
Xu Ruolan’s call at this time was somewhat unexpected.
“Um…
I heard you challenged the Security Minister of Lv’s Corporation to a fight.
Is that true?”
Xu Ruolan seemed to have some questions she wanted to ask Ning Fan, her tone quite hesitant.
Ning Fan was slightly irritated and scoffed coldly, “What, are you also here to persuade me to give up this fight?”
There was silence on the other end, and just when Ning Fan’s patience was almost exhausted, ready to hang up the phone, the somewhat icy voice of Xu Ruolan came through.
“I didn’t mean that.
I believe you can win.
However, I called to remind you of a little detail.”
Ning Fan responded with a “Hmm,” and said, “Go ahead, I’m listening.”
“If you fight, you must not only win but win convincingly!”
Xu Ruolan smiled slightly on her end of the phone and whispered, “Good luck, Ning Fan, I’m rooting for you!”
After saying that, Xu Ruolan mentioned she had official business to attend to and hung up the phone.
This left Ning Fan somewhat dumbfounded.
What was this situation?
Support?
The ice maiden had this side to her?
Heh…
Ning Fan chuckled lightly, decided not to dwell on these questions anymore, and strode out of the corporate building.
Meanwhile, at Lv’s Real Estate, because the people from the Island nation held absolute control over the shares, a unanimous vote was passed during the meeting to proceed with the security contest between the two companies.
Especially the major shareholder of Lv’s Real Estate, who specifically found Qiu Shantian and said coldly, “Mr.
Qiu, rest assured, use all your skills.
Even if you kill that security guard from Xu Corporation on the spot, I can ensure you remain unscathed here!”
Qiu Shantian’s lips curled into a cold smile as he moved to the window.
Looking at the pedestrians who seemed as insignificant as ants, he slowly stated, “They are but a bunch of ants, hardly worth my concern.
Rest assured,
this afternoon, I will tear that arrogant kid to pieces, and the dignity of Xu Corporation will be trampled underfoot!”
