idn't find it convenient to say anything. He only held her face in his hands and stared at her intently."I will do everything I promised you. Don't worry, I will make up for the lost time.""Compensati...After finishing his words, his tone immediately turned cold. "However, even if you have the ability to bring down government officials today, it won't be useful. The project I promised must be completed on time, or else the wager agreement will take effect, and you can just wait to pay!"

"Du Hua, you can be so disrespectful to me, but you're so polite to my sister." Xiang Yu's face was full of anger as he slammed his fist on the table and challenged.

Mr. Du put on a look of fear, shrinking his neck and saying "Oh," but his tone was laced with disdain. "Xiang Yu, for the sake of the old chairman, I've already given you face. You better not scare me, I, Du Hua, am not someone who achieved my status for nothing."

As he spoke, the bodyguards behind him instantly revealed menacing expressions and took a few steps forward, bravely standing in front of him.

Seeing the situation, Xiang Wan hurriedly took a step forward. She glanced at Du Zong with her beautiful phoenix eyes, then at Xiang Yu, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, let's talk it over properly."

She glanced at the empty teapot on the table, her voice tinged with guilt as she reminded him, "Mr. Du, please don't be angry. I've had you sitting here for so long without even offering you a cup of tea. How about we cool off and have a good talk"

Towards Evening, who was still quite sensible, knew when to back down. Du Hua let out a cold snort, her expression slowly softening.

Soon, the assistant brought in a teapot. 向晚 sat beside him on the sofa, her fingers deftly handling the washing, brewing, and pouring of tea, smiling and reminding, "Mr. Du, this is top-grade Pu'er tea. It's usually used to entertain guests. Besides you, I haven't shared it with anyone else."

Du Hua wasn't stupid, of course she knew it was just a polite remark, but being coaxed made her feel happy nonetheless. "You're much more sensible than your brother."

Yu Mian showed displeasure, luckily Xiang Wan pulled his arm in time and chuckled at Du Hua, "My brother is a bit straightforward. If he offended you, please bear with him."

"Humph, it depends on my mood." Du Zong raised his head proudly, his eyes full of disdain.

“Wanwan, you don’t need to apologize to this old fox. He probably took advantage of me being drunk and forced me to sign a gambling agreement! That’s why I lost so badly!” Xiang Yu roared angrily, getting up agitatedly and pacing back and forth in the office.

I'm so mad.

After hearing this, A-Wan's face also darkened. It turned out that her brother was forced to sign the gambling agreement.

But before he could even retort, Mr. Du hurriedly had his bodyguard pull out a contract and pointed to the official seal on it, "Slanderous accusations, black and white, legally binding, none of you can deny!"

"Damn it, you're trying to screw me over before I even know what's happening! Even the law should be about fairness!" Xiang Yu couldn't hold back his temper any longer and started arguing with Du Hua in public.

A-Wan's brow furrowed as she picked up the contract and carefully read through the terms. After a long silence, she put down the contract and said in a low voice, "Please quiet down everyone, Mr. Du. We agree to this agreement."

There's no denying it, the contract does indeed have the seal of the Xiang Group stamped on it.

"We will secure the top three spots in this exhibition as per the agreement, and showcase our new spring collection. We'll fulfill Du Shi Group's requirement of achieving a top three finish." Xiang Wan reminded calmly, "However, I have one condition."

"Did I hear that right What qualifications do you have to make demands of me" Du Hua sounded like he was hearing a joke, with his legs crossed and disdainful eyes.

"You are naturally free to disagree and refuse to concede, but after all, it was you who schemed against our He family first. I admit I'm not capable of much, but Mr. Du, please don't forget, my husband—is He Hanchuan!"

Towards's unyielding tone immediately deflated Du Hua's arrogance, especially when she mentioned He Hanchuan. He had to consider his options and put down his leg, saying, "You speak!"

"I'm not making things difficult for you, I just want the spring runway show to be delayed by a week." 向晚 raised her eyes and saw that he was about to refute, immediately blocking his mouth, "Mr. Du, I believe you certainly have this ability."

Du Hua's words circled in her mouth, but she could only swallow them back down. Her eyes were cold, but inside, she was still unwilling to accept defeat. "Fine, fine. Vice President Chen is truly skilled at negotiating terms. But letting me be manipulated like this will make me feel deeply resentful."

"What do you need" Xiang Wan inquired politely.

Du Hua's gaze fell upon Xiang Yu's wine cabinet in the office. He directly ordered his bodyguard to step forward and pry it open, taking out several bottles of white wine and placing them on the table. "Xiang Vice President, since you want to cooperate by asking for help, you must show some sincerity. As long as you can drink all the white wine, I agree. Please."

There were exactly four small bottles of white wine laid out on the table. Xiang Wan glanced at the alcohol content displayed on top, and her face immediately turned ashen.

She couldn't hold her liquor.

Especially with such a high proof of alcohol, she had never even tried it.

Xiang Yu stepped forward, grabbed Du Hua's collar with his hand, pulled him up from the ground, raised his fist high and shouted angrily, "You dare to bully my sister Believe it or not, I'll burn every hair on your head!"

Du Hua stared at him, not annoyed at all, and chuckled, "The surveillance is right above you, why don't you try it"

"You..." Xiang Yu's face turned pale, his knuckles cracking with each clenched fist, but he forced himself to remain silent. "Let's both step back. I'll drink for my sister. I'll goddamn drink it all. You can't kill me!"

"Then it's no fun." Du Hua laughed, refusing with a smile as a hunting-like bloodlust flashed in his eyes.

Actually, even he, a grown man, couldn't finish so much white wine. The reason he brought it up was just to watch against her begging for mercy.

Xiang Yu couldn't hold back his anger any longer. He clenched the bottle of wine on the table and was about to smash it onto Du Hua's head, but Xiang Wan snatched it from his hand just in time. "I'll drink," she said.

Du Hua was just using her harsh treatment to find a balance within herself.

She could choose not to drink, but after all, she was the vice president of the group. Some things had to be endured for the sake of the company's interests.

She then opened all the lids of the white liquor bottles, took a deep breath, and gulped down bottle after bottle.

The spicy liquor stung her throat. After just one bottle, Xiang Wan's steps became unsteady, and her head swam, but she gritted her teeth and continued drinking.

Bang!

She gritted her teeth against the discomfort in her body, setting down the last empty bottle of alcohol. She wiped the wine from the corner of her lips with her hand, her eyes filled with anguish.

She coughed violently, "Finished. Mr. Du, I hope you'll keep your promise too."

Du Hua watched as Xiang Wan drank bottle after bottle of baijiu, and wasn't as miserable as she had imagined. Her face suddenly contorted, her eyes filled with shock.

Damn!
