C18 He Was Determined to Get It!

Lee Feng was resolute, unwilling to exchange another word with Lin Kexin.

"You're just jealous! I'm not going to stoop to your level."

With that, Lee Feng swiftly entered the CEO's private elevator.

Lin Kexin, fuming, watched him go and stamped her foot in frustration.

She burst out in a fit of rage.

"Damn it, what's so special about you besides grandma's favoritism? The outcome is far from decided. We'll see about that."

Despite her bravado, Lin Kexin felt far from confident.

Considering the chairman of Chepapp had already made promises to her grandmother, and his word as chairman was bond, her prospects seemed dim.

With a heavy sigh, Lin Kexin stepped into the elevator and made her way to her office.

Along the way, she overheard hushed conversations among the staff.

"Did you hear? The old chairman and the Chepapp chairman spoke yesterday. He insisted on working with Director Lee. Lin Kexin doesn't stand a chance now!"

"Indeed, Lin Kexin is blind to the reality. The old chairman has no intention of making her the general manager. Director Lee is his priority."

"True, Lee Feng is the old chairman's eldest grandson, and naturally, he's the favored one. Lin Kexin is just one of several granddaughters. It seems he's set on leaving his position to his grandson."

"We need to read the room and align ourselves accordingly to avoid any awkwardness later on."

"You all are just now seeing the situation for what it is? I've been aware for a while. Nowadays, when I see Lin Kexin, I barely speak to her."

...

Hearing these remarks deeply upset Lin Kexin. She had always treated these people well, yet they switched allegiances at the drop of a hat—such petty individuals!

But right now, the priority was to secure the contract with the chairman of Chepapp.

Lin Kexin believed her proposal was superior to Lee Feng's.

Yet, she lacked the opportunity to present it to the Chepapp chairman. She pulled out the chairman's schedule once more, contemplating whether to attempt another meeting that morning.

The sound of banging echoed from Lee Feng's office next door, followed by his roar of frustration.

"Damn it! Isn't this just playing games with me? Weren't we supposed to sign the contract? Calling them only to be met with all kinds of excuses, and they won't even let me visit their company. Who do they think they are? Do they think I'm desperate to see them?"

Lin Kexin, as if she had heard exactly what she wanted to, immediately ran to the wall, pressed her ear against it, and eavesdropped on what was happening in Lee Feng's office.

She then overheard Lee Feng's secretary trying to soothe him.

"Director Lee, please calm down. The chairman of Chepapp Group said he was golfing with the chairman of Uniraq Group this morning and didn't have time to sign our contract. He's rescheduled for tomorrow. The old chairman has already been notified, and he's assured us that the contract will be signed. You can rest easy, Director Lee."

Upon hearing this, Lin Kexin finally understood the situation. It seemed that her words at the company entrance had really struck a chord.

As long as the contract remained unsigned, there was tension; the deal could fall through at any moment.

As Lin Kexin pondered this, Lin Han's image unexpectedly came to mind. She couldn't help but feel a bit of admiration for him. Despite his usual carefree demeanor, his words in critical moments were impactful.

After enduring his mother-in-law's tirade, Lin Han quickly finished his breakfast and headed out. He had spent the morning staking out the hotel frequented by the Chepapp Group chairman and his mistress.

Lin Han was aware that conventional tactics wouldn't persuade the chairman to agree to Lin Kexin's terms. But with significant leverage, the situation would change.

He could have easily had Lin Feijie call the Chepapp Group chairman to smooth things over, but Lin Han decided against using his help. He was confident in his ability to handle the matter on his own.

He waited until the afternoon when, as expected, a chic and slender girl appeared at the door of the frequently visited private room. She wore a cap pulled low over her face, making it difficult to discern her features without a closer look.

The girl surveyed her surroundings with caution for a brief moment before swiftly using her keycard to enter the room.

Lin Han immediately took out his phone and captured everything on camera.

More than ten minutes later, the chairman of Chepapp Group appeared at the door. Dressed similarly, Zhou Haixiang was also donning a cap, pulled down low. Unless one looked closely, it was nearly impossible to recognize him as the chairman of Chepapp.

Zhou Haixiang stood at the door, scanning the area. Seeing no one around, he gently knocked three times. The girl inside swiftly opened the door, now changed from her previously fashionable attire into a pair of super short V-neck pajamas.

Upon seeing Zhou Haixiang, the girl quickly pecked him on the cheek, and then the two of them entered and shut the door behind them. Lin Han had recorded the entire scene on his phone.

Unbeknownst to others, Lin Han had previously arranged with the waiter to install a surveillance camera inside, allowing him to watch every move on his phone with crystal clarity.

Once inside, Zhou Haixiang couldn't wait to get intimate with his mistress. Lin Han was somewhat embarrassed to watch any longer. Pocketing his phone, he continued his vigil outside the door.

Two hours later, Zhou Haixiang cautiously opened the door and peeked out. Seeing no one, he stepped out of the room, further pulling down his cap.

Lin Han quickly stepped forward to block his path. Zhou Haixiang thought Lin Han had accidentally gotten in his way, so he tried to walk around. Lin Han persisted in blocking him.

After a few attempts, Zhou Haixiang realized what was happening and asked in a cold voice, "Young man, what exactly do you want?"

Lin Han replied with an indifferent smile and a nonchalant shrug, "Director Zhou, I don't want anything in particular. I've been waiting here for hours just to discuss a potential collaboration with you. I represent Uniraq, and I hope you'll consider partnering with Lin Kexin."

Zhou Haixiang immediately grasped the situation. "I made it clear to Lin Kexin this morning; I intend to collaborate with Lee Feng. Please stop pestering me."

Lin Han smiled faintly once more and casually took out his phone. "Director Zhou, we're genuinely interested in a partnership with you. Perhaps you might want to reconsider?"
