For a moment, Zhuo Weidong was utterly perplexed. He even began to doubt if it was true.

"Of course, it's true. Is that something I need to lie to you about?" Ou Xiaolong affirmed.

"If it's true, isn't this a huge boon for you? Why the long face?" Zhuo Weidong asked.

"A boon? What boon! My daughter is representing someone else in negotiations with me, yet she's completely fixated on their interests. The terms she proposed are incredibly harsh. Isn't that infuriating?"

The thought of his daughter protecting Yi Anguo's interests at every turn, completely siding with him, made Ou Xiaolong furious.

"I'm starting to wonder if Yi Anguo brainwashed my daughter. She doesn't even act like she's my own flesh and blood anymore."

"Your daughter is a smart woman. That's probably why Yi Anguo took a liking to her, making her his personal assistant and the vice president of his investment company," Zhuo Weidong analyzed.

"The very fact that Yi Anguo assigned your daughter to negotiate this investment with you is a test for her."

"If your daughter didn't consider Yi Anguo's interests and only looked out for yours, do you think Yi Anguo would keep her by his side as his assistant?"

"If she can't even pass this first test, she'll be sent right back where she came from."

"Furthermore, Yi Anguo would completely withdraw his help from your company."

"So your daughter is smart, and she's making the correct move."

"On the surface, it might look like you aren't getting much out of this deal. But in the long run, since Yi Anguo clearly values your daughter enough to keep her by his side as his personal assistant, do you really think he'd mistreat someone so close to him?"

"Who knows what the future holds? In any case, while this deal will get my company through its crisis, I won't see any personal benefit. I'll just be slaving away for Yi Anguo for free," Ou Xiaolong said, shaking his head.

"Stop complaining when you've hit the jackpot. If I had a daughter that grown-up and capable, I'd be hoping she could work for Yi Anguo as his personal assistant," Zhuo Weidong said with a wry smile.

"That's precisely what worries me. Yi Anguo is no gentleman. He's surrounded by women. Don't you think he might have designs on my daughter?" Ou Xiaolong said with a touch of worry.

"You shouldn't say that. While Yi Anguo does have several women around him, he has never used and discarded any of them or played recklessly with their feelings," Zhuo Weidong said fairly.

"Take Li Sisi, for example, the first woman he was with. She used to be a salesperson at my company. Li Sisi was the one who assisted him when he first came to my sales office."

"Later, Li Sisi took the initiative to get closer to him, and they got together after developing feelings for each other."

"Another one, Hu Jing, chose to be with Yi Anguo of her own free will after he saved her from a fire."

"Then there's Ding Jing, who also started following him willingly after he helped her."

"Besides, hasn't Yi Anguo had an assistant for several years now? I'd say she's no less attractive than your daughter, right?"

"But in all that time, Yi Anguo has never made a move on his young assistant!"

"So, even though Yi Anguo has quite a few women around him, he's not the type of person who casually plays with women's emotions."

"That's hard to say," Ou Xiaolong replied. "No one can say for sure what his relationship with that young assistant really is."

"If something was really going on between them, it's not like they'd announce it to the world!"
