Su Ming's face took on a serious expression as he cast his gaze towards the enchanting face before him, then he continued to speak slowly:

"Chairman Chen, although this might seem like small change to you, our company being able to secure this project from the city government shows that the company's connections and development prospects cannot be underestimated. You just need to invest the registration capital, and you'll be able to continuously reap dividends. As a business elite, aren't you even a bit tempted?"

Chen Hong scrutinized Su Ming's face for a moment, then flashed a charming smile and said:

"Alright, I admit I'm tempted. Tell me, how much more funding does your company need?"

"Two million." Su Ming said calmly.

In fact, the company's registered capital had long reached five million, and the reason Su Ming did this

was to bind Chen Hong with the company, and then smoothly attach themselves to Wanhong Group.

Because Su Ming used to be Zhou Jingya's assistant, he was seen as an outlier by Meng Zeyang, the current chairman of Wanhong Group.

Last time, Meng Zeyang did hand over control of Cyan Mountain Archery Hall to Su Ming, considering A Biao's influence and his own guilt towards Li Guoqiang.

However, this time, if Su Ming wants to attach the company to Wanhong Group,

he must rely on internal personnel within Wanhong to successfully accomplish this.

And Chen Hong is the best candidate for three reasons:

First, she is quite familiar with Su Ming and can be persuaded by him.

Second, she is the only female board member of Wanhong Group. Even Meng Zeyang would have to cautiously consider her words.

Third, Su Ming discovered that Chen Hong previously came to assist him in strengthening Wanhong's newly established department.

However, after Zhou Jingya was removed from Wanhong's board, this department was also abolished accordingly.

Su Ming and Zhou Jingya naturally got involved and were excluded from Wanhong Group,

but Chen Hong surprisingly had no issues, possibly because of her seniority or her good relationship with Meng Zeyang.

However, the latter seems more likely since even more senior board members like Zhou Jingya were also dismissed.

Thinking of this, Su Ming believed that if Chen Hong took the initiative to propose attaching the company to Wanhong Group to Meng Zeyang, it would almost certainly succeed.

"Alright, I agree. Once I see the company registration certificate tomorrow, I'll transfer the money to you."

As she said this, Chen Hong suddenly smiled seductively, her voice carrying a hint of flirtation:

"But this would count as me helping you again. How do you plan to thank me?"

Chen Hong propped her alabaster white arm on her chin, her eyes staring blankly at Su Ming.

Su Ming felt a bit uncomfortable under her gaze; it wasn't because he was shy,

but because of the naturally seductive charm in Chen Hong's eyes.

Any man would feel like he was being ensnared, easily falling deep within, unable to extricate himself.

"So how would you like me to repay you? I've invested all my money in the company, and the only decent thing I have left is myself, so I could only offer myself to you."

Su Ming pretended to retreat to advance, looking at Chen Hong seriously with a faint smile.

Chen Hong then covered her red lips, laughing with a bell-like clarity, then said:

"With my billions, I could hire any male model I choose. Do you think I would settle for you?"

Su Ming didn't expect Chen Hong to be so direct, and he quickly countered:

"I'm not interested in an old woman like you! Not only are you old, but you also have no sense of romance. If I had to offer myself to you, I'd rather just grab a piece of pork to settle it, which would be more satisfying!"

"Who are you calling old?" Chen Hong's charming smile froze instantly, then turned into an icy chill.

Women hate being called old, and Chen Hong was no exception.

Moreover, terms like "pork" and "no sense of romance" were like explosives to her, with a lethal impact.

"Do you still think you're a little girl in your early twenties? You're almost thirty. Am I not speaking the truth? Even with all the makeup covering your face, you can't erase the traces of time's passing. And the way you talk, isn't it just unromantic?"

Su Ming remained calm, his eyes displaying a serene demeanor as he continued speaking.

"Su Ming! I'm going to fight you!"

Chen Hong's lovely face turned flushed, though not from shyness, but from being enraged by Su Ming.

She stood up abruptly, her elegant demeanor gone, as she clawed towards Su Ming's face.

"Ahem... this is a restaurant! Watch your image. You may not care, but I still need to save face!"

Seeing this, Su Ming lowered his gaze, speaking softly.

Chen Hong then looked around, only to find everyone else casting strange looks her way.

Though she was a well-versed corporate president, she couldn't accept such disgrace in public.

So she sat down, using a knife and fork to cut into the Wellington steak on her plate, casting a devouring gaze toward Su Ming.

Seeing this, Su Ming thought that if no one were around, Chen Hong would probably rush at him with a knife and fork.

Su Ming suddenly realized his words earlier were a bit excessive and quickly said with a smile:

"It was just a joke earlier. You're the one who said you wouldn't even hire me as a male model! With my physique, looks, and being in my early twenties, and with an eight-pack, anyone with taste would know that even in a host club, I'd be quite popular."

Upon hearing this, the anger in Chen Hong's beautiful eyes still hadn't dissipated, but she secretly thought:

"Even though this guy is irritating, with a closer look, he's tall, handsome, and decent in demeanor. It wouldn't be a stretch for him to debut directly as an idol star."

"Honestly, your looks and figure rank among the top of the women I've seen."

Su Ming spoke truthfully; if it were only about looks and figure, Chen Hong was on par with the proprietress.

Moreover, she had this quirky, enchanting charm that had a strong appeal to men of all ages.

Women indeed enjoy compliments, and after hearing Su Ming's words, the frostiness on Chen Hong's lovely face finally eased a bit.

"But with your qualifications, why are you still single?"

After finishing their meal, Su Ming and Chen Hong walked outside the restaurant, and he suddenly asked.

"Finding someone to live with is such a hassle! It's better being alone, free and easy, much more enjoyable!"

Chen Hong returned to her impish manner, responding with a playful smile.
