The bald man, shouting, tried to break free from the security guards' hold. However, everything he did was doomed to be futile. Seeing that he was about to be thrown out of the company, the bald man became desperate.

"Orange Bear, you can't fire me!" he yelled. "My sister is the president, your most capable assistant! She'll never agree to this! If you have the guts, call my sister right now! I bet you won't dare to fire me then!"

Hearing the bald man's arrogant outburst, Orange Bear whirled around and roared, "Shut up! So what if she's your sister? Just wait, I'll fire her too. Neither of you will stay! Don't think for a second I don't know what your sister has been up to. I was just turning a blind eye, too lazy to bother with her! But now that you've served her up on a platter, don't blame me for being ruthless! You can both get lost! Don't you forget, I am the chairman of this company!"

As Orange Bear's words echoed, the bald man was no longer arrogant. He completely deflated, not daring to utter another word. Soon, he vanished without a trace.

After handling all that, Orange Bear snorted coldly, then turned to look at Liu Ergou. The moment her gaze fell on him, her expression instantly changed.

"Er Gou, see? I've gotten rid of the troublemaker," she said, batting her eyelashes pitifully at him. "So, can you come to my office now to talk about our future collaboration on the Snow Skin Cream? Please?"

Lu Shuangyue, witnessing this scene, couldn't help but roll her eyes and spit on the ground. "Disgusting!"

Orange Bear simply ignored Lu Shuangyue's comment.

Looking at the expectant Orange Bear before him, Liu Ergou found it hard to refuse again and simply nodded. He then followed her into her office.

The moment they sat down, Orange Bear eagerly began, "Er Gou, I've already thought everything through for promoting Snow Skin Cream! Rest assured, I won't charge you a single penny. Not only that, I'll even invest my own money! I will promote Snow Skin Cream for free! What do you think, Er Gou?"

Hearing this, Liu Ergou didn't immediately agree. Instead, he asked, "Orange, let's be honest. Anyone would be tempted by your offer. But my grandfather taught me a very important lesson when I was young: there's no such thing as a free lunch. Just tell me straight, what's the catch?"

Hearing Liu Ergou's directness, Orange Bear gave a slightly embarrassed laugh. "Oh, Er Gou, listen to you! Like I said, it's all free, so there's no price to pay! But, if you insist on giving me something... then just give me some shares. And maybe go on a date with me! How about it?"

After speaking, Orange Bear looked at Liu Ergou with a hopeful expression. To her surprise, Liu Ergou didn't hesitate at all and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright. I'm willing to give you one percent of the profits from Snow Skin Cream. But as for the date… let me think about it." A conflicted look appeared on Liu Ergou's face at the mention of a date.

This made Orange Bear very unhappy. "Er Gou, just go on one date with me! It's not a big deal, okay? Don't worry, I promise I won't misbehave, and we won't go to some shady restaurant like last time! How about you just take me to the amusement park? Please?"

As she spoke, Orange Bear stood up, then shockingly sat right in Liu Ergou's lap. She wrapped her arms around his neck, puckered her lips, and leaned in to kiss him.

Lu Shuangyue, who was sitting nearby, was quick to react. She grabbed Orange Bear's arm, stopping her. "We're just talking here, keep your hands to yourself! If you try that again, I won't be so nice!"

Interrupted by Lu Shuangyue, Orange Bear didn't get angry. She simply remained sitting quietly in Liu Ergou's lap, staring at him.

After a long moment of silence, Liu Ergou finally spoke. "Fine, alright. I can agree to that. But let's be clear: everything is contingent on the Snow Skin Cream actually going on sale, not right now. Can you accept that?"

Without the slightest hesitation, Orange Bear nodded. "I can accept that! Of course!"

Having settled that, Orange Bear asked Liu Ergou, "Speaking of the launch, how are you doing with the certifications? Have you gotten them yet? Do you need my help? I still have some connections."

Before Liu Ergou could answer, Lu Shuangyue decisively refused the offer. "That won't be necessary. We've just been too busy lately and haven't gotten around to it. As soon as we get back, we'll start handling the production qualifications for Snow Skin Cream, as well as the production line."

After saying this, Lu Shuangyue wasted no time, grabbing Liu Ergou's arm and pulling him toward the door. As they walked, she said, "We still have things to do, so we won't bother you any longer. We're leaving now."

Orange Bear watched them leave and was just about to say something, but Lu Shuangyue gave her no opportunity. Pulling Liu Ergou along, she quickened her pace, and they disappeared from Orange Bear's sight in the blink of an eye.

This infuriated Orange Bear, who rolled her eyes in frustration. "Hmph! So rude! It's just a conversation! They act as if I'm going to eat them. It's so annoying!"

With that, she turned and went back to her desk to get busy with other matters.

Meanwhile, Lu Shuangyue dragged Liu Ergou swiftly downstairs. Liu Ergou had originally planned to go straight back to his villa with her, but after a few steps, he suddenly changed his mind.

"Shuang Yue, why don't you go back by yourself? I just remembered something else I need to do. I'll come find you once I'm finished."

Hearing this, Lu Shuangyue looked up at him suspiciously.

"Tsk. Er Gou, something's not right with you," Lu Shuangyue said. "You aren't trying to ditch me so you can go back and find Orange Bear, are you? If that's the case..."

As she spoke, a menacing smile spread across her face, frightening Liu Ergou so much that he instinctively shrank back.

"Shuang Yue, you've misunderstood! I really do have something else to do!" Liu Ergou explained frantically. "You saw my attitude toward Orange Bear. I try to stay a mile away from her, so why on earth would I go looking for her? It's really something else. I'll be back this afternoon, I promise!"
