Qin Xiaohai went downstairs, but did not leave immediately. She entered one of the toilet cubicles in the Luo Mansion and sat down on the toilet lid. She felt as if all the strength in her body had just been used up.

Her eyes were sore, and she closed her eyes, tears streaming down her face. She bit her lower lip hard to prevent herself from crying out loud. Her heart felt as if it was being torn apart by something. It was so painful that she couldn't breathe. This kind of pain was enough to make her ignore the wound on her neck.

She had succeeded in making the man she loved hate her more deeply. She couldn't help but let out a bitter smile. Wasn't this exactly what he wanted? Why did his heart hurt so much?

A beeping sound came from her phone. She tried her best to hold back her trembling hands as she took out her phone. It was a message from Nana, "Little Seep, why aren't you here yet? The meeting is about to begin. "

Qin Xiaotao choked with sobs as she wiped away her tears. "I'm sorry, but I'm not feeling well right now. I might not be able to make it here. Help me ask for a leave of absence from the president."

Her role in the negotiations had been negligible, and now, outside the negotiations, she had done all she could.

Qin Xiaotao walked out of the house through the side door and returned to the hotel alone. She found it difficult to sit still. After calling his parents and bickering with his son for a while, his mood seemed to relax a little.

In the second half of the night, there was finally some noise coming from the corridor. Qin Xiaotao knew that they had returned.

She turned off the porch light. There was only one bedside lamp left in the room before she opened the door a crack. The moment he opened the door, he saw Pu Kainan standing at the door as if he was about to knock. The space between his eyebrows was furrowed tightly, and he looked exhausted.

"Little seep, I heard you're not feeling well? Is it better now? Do you want to go to the hospital to take a look? " She had been sick for two days, and he did worry.

There was another reason he was worried. Today's meeting, Luo clan's original manager Shen Xuming didn't appear, but was instead represented by the advertising department's director and marketing department's minister. This made him rather surprised.

The chain of "accidents" that followed had left him feeling very suspicious.

Qin Xiaohai didn't answer him, instead she asked, "What was the outcome of the negotiations? Does Roche accept our plan? " She asked somewhat anxiously.

It was the same way she had stood at the door and talked to him yesterday. The lights in the room were dim, and even though they were not far away, he could not see her expression clearly. It was as if she was purposely guarding against him. Moreover, her voice was obviously rather hoarse.

He subconsciously put his hand on the door and said to himself, "Come, I'll take you to the hospital." As he spoke, he prepared to push open the door.

Qin Xiaohai was panicking as he pushed the door open. "No, I'm really fine now. President, has the cooperation proposal been completed?" she asked again.

Pai Kennan nodded, "Yes, we have reached an agreement. However, in the next few days, we will have to finalize the details of the cooperation." A look of disappointment flitted across his eyes. He couldn't see it clearly in the dim corridor, and Qin Xiaojing didn't notice it either.

Hearing his words, she let out a heavy sigh of relief and murmured, "That's good, that's good."

But Pun Kennan's forehead was tightly creased. "You're really okay?" Have you eaten? "

"It's really nothing. I've already eaten." As he spoke, he tried to force a smile, a relaxed and bright smile.

Although she couldn't see it clearly, Pu Kainan was startled. This was the first time she smiled at him.

"Then I'll rest first."

It was only when she closed the door that Pun Kainan came back to himself.

Lying on her bed, Qin Xiaotao was finally feeling better. It seemed that her risky moves had worked. But if she were to meet Shen Xi Ming again in the future, she couldn't just use this move every single time. She thought to herself that she should hurry back to Korea.

Just as he was about to fall asleep, there was a knock on the door.

Qin Xiaotao slept very lightly. When she thought of Shen Ximing's sudden appearance, she felt a lingering fear.

The door was knocked again. She walked slowly towards the door with some doubts. At that moment, she heard a pleasant Korean voice coming from the door, "Little Hai, are you asleep?"

Qin Xiaotao heaved a sigh of relief. She opened the door and looked at Nana, who was hugging her pillow. "Nana, it's so late. Why are you here?"

Nana pulled her through the door and closed it behind her. She crawled onto her bed and said with a bit of a temper, "Little Hai, I want to sleep with you tonight."

Qin Xiaotao looked at her in amusement. "There's no lightning or thunder, and we've already reached a conclusion on the cooperation case. What's the reason?"

"Sigh, don't mention it." She seemed a little depressed as she reclined down on her bed and continued, "Luo clan's initial plan was very profitable. I thought that we would be able to return with a great harvest this time."

Qin Xiaotao's heart tightened. She got onto the bed from the other side and sat beside her. "What's the matter?"

"Who knows, after the negotiations began, that female demon .." Perhaps she felt that she had misspoken. She stuck out her tongue, "It's that Director Xia from the Luo family. He's simply too ruthless. He's suppressing us again and again, as if he's sure of us."

"And then?" His relaxed state of mind once again tensed up.

"Before coming here this time, the guild leader seemed to have given the order to capture him. The guild leader had no choice but to give way. "From what I see, the president should be very unhappy too. He hasn't spoken a word since he left the venue."

Nana said with a face full of dissatisfaction, "You don't know, seeing that Director Xia arrogantly walking out of the meeting room, I can't wait to .." She made a fist gesture.

Qin Xiaotao recalled Xia Han's appearance from her memory. She seemed to have always been like this, always walking straight, decisive in her speech and actions, full of confidence. This point was very similar to Shen Xi Ming.

What kind of leader, what kind of subordinates. She couldn't help but think this in her heart.

Nana was still talking, "What a pity, what a pity. The majority of the profits have been divided up by the Luo family. Our Kang Chen will only get a tiny bit of profit."

Listening to her dejected tone, the unease in Qin Xiaohai's heart lessened. She knew that Kang Chen would no longer have to worry about her future development in China since she was already living with the Luo family. The profits in front of her were nothing at all.

She thought, "The president and the president probably know this is the reason why they give in."

This was Shen Xi's style. No, it should be said that Shen Xi Ming showed mercy by leaving a small profit for Kang Chen. She couldn't help but feel relieved.

Nana seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said, "Oh right, you said you were not feeling well in the afternoon, but the negotiation will start soon. The atmosphere is too tense and I don't even have time to ask you. Are you feeling better now? "
