Chapter 977 979: Still Not Considering Cooperating with Me?
Chen Bin could tell that Zhao Rucheng was in a very bad mood.However, the latter did not see him, so he didn't take the initiative to greet Zhao Rucheng.
Throughout the meal, Chen Bin would occasionally glance at Zhao Rucheng.
The other was drinking alone, looking very downcast.
When Chen Bin and Ma Juan were about to finish eating, Zhao Rucheng called the waiter to settle the bill.
He leaned against the wall, swaying as he got up, went outside the restaurant, hailed a cab, and left by himself.
Chen Bin watched the taxi drive away thoughtfully but still said nothing.
In the evening, Ma Juan left because something came up suddenly.
Just as Chen Bin was about to head home, he received a call from Zhang Zixuan.
"Secretary Chen, do you have time to come to 'Imperial Capital No.1' for a visit?"
Listening to her coquettish voice, Chen Bin's tone carried a hint of amusement.
"Whether I have time depends entirely on you."
"What does that mean? I'm not very smart, Secretary Chen, please don't test me."
"Have you forgotten about the matter with the features last time?"
Only then did Zhang Zixuan come to realization, "Oh, that's what you meant! Rest assured, Secretary Chen, as long as you come tonight, I guarantee I'll arrange everything perfectly for you."
"No problem!"
When Chen Bin appeared again at Imperial Capital No.1, Fang Mingkun was nowhere to be seen.
Zhang Zixuan first had dinner with him, then they went to a private room similar to a karaoke box.
Not long after, all the lights went out.
Before Chen Bin could react to what was happening, several bright lights appeared again.
As music began to play, the door of the private room swung open from the outside, and six foreign women entered one after another.
They all had blonde hair and blue eyes, and were dressed very simply.
Amidst the rhythmic music, their dance moves were extremely sensual and alluring.
In the end, two even sat on either side of Chen Bin, gently blowing into his ears.
Faced with such temptation, no man could resist.
It's just that Chen Bin had seen so many beauties; although he liked these women, he still had some self-control.
Soon, the lights came back on.
Zhang Zixuan pushed the door open, smiling broadly as she asked.
"Secretary Chen, do you like this kind of feature?"
Chen Bin glanced over the women and replied coolly.
"It's not bad, but compared to another beauty, it's far inferior."
This comment made Zhang Zixuan very curious.
After all, these six women were considered the beauties of the venue.
Who could be more attractive than them?
With this thought, she curiously asked.
"Who?"
Chen Bin smiled faintly, motioned for Zhang Zixuan to come closer.
She understood and immediately sat beside him.
Chen Bin directly wrapped his arm around Zhang Zixuan's slim waist and whispered in her ear.
"Of course it's you; they can't compare to your beauty."
Zhang Zixuan was slightly taken aback, appearing somewhat incredulous.
In her perception, men always preferred more exotic women.
Compared to these blonde, blue-eyed "stallions," she presumed she had no advantage.
Yet Chen Bin considered her the most beautiful, which greatly surprised Zhang Zixuan.
At that moment, Chen Bin's voice rang again, "Do you have time to chat with me alone?"
Naturally, Zhang Zixuan was eager, so she immediately gestured for those women to leave.
Chen Bin also stood up and said, "Shall we chat somewhere else?"
Without hesitation, Zhang Zixuan nodded directly.
"Sure!"
As soon as they left the venue, they entered a nearby five-star hotel.
Upon entering the room, Zhang Zixuan frowned slightly.
With her years of experience, she figured Chen Bin would be very difficult to deal with.
This easy-going approach—was there possibly a catch?
However, she couldn't worry about that now.
As long as she could get him to bed, she could handle Chen Bin.
When the door closed, Zhang Zixuan eagerly tiptoed, ready to kiss Chen Bin.
But the latter held her head back, coldly asked.
"How much did Fang Mingkun offer you to work so hard for him?"
Zhang Zixuan felt a thump in her heart but pretended to look puzzled.
"Secretary Chen, I don't understand what you mean?"
Chen Bin released his grip and sat down on a nearby chair.
"Fang Mingkun wanted you to get close to me; probably to catch me off guard, right?"
Zhang Zixuan looked completely shocked, "Since you know everything, why did you bring me to the hotel?"
"Because I want to discuss a collaboration with you."
"What kind of collaboration?"
"I want to know if there's any other relationship between Fang Mingkun and those foreign women in the venue. If you help me investigate thoroughly, I'll give you a big sum of money."
In Chen Bin's view, those foreign women might be a guise.
Their stay at Imperial Capital No.1 might have another agenda.
Shaking her head, Zhang Zixuan replied with a serious expression.
"Sorry, I'm with the venue. President Fang treats me well, I won't betray him."
"Then if I have a way to make you a shareholder of the venue, would you still not consider cooperating?"
In Chen Bin's perspective, Fang Mingkun's trading of information might be related to espionage.
If he could turn Zhang Zixuan, have her monitor Fang Mingkun, it could yield unexpected results.
To this end, Chen Bin had someone investigate Zhang Zixuan's background.
Her experience was somewhat similar to Mu Yun's, both rising through reliance on their bodies, step by step becoming PR managers.
However, the difference was Mu Yun was forced while Zhang Zixuan was voluntary.
Chen Bin knew that women like Zhang Zixuan were most likely to be opportunistic.
The simplest way to win her over was with money.
Indeed, upon hearing she could become a shareholder, Zhang Zixuan's eyes lit up.
"Do you really have a way to make me a shareholder?"
"Of course. I have leverage on Fang Mingkun; obtaining the venue from him is easy. If you're willing to cooperate with me, I'll give you twenty percent shares after things are settled."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Zixuan fell into hesitation.
She knew how much the venue could earn yearly, and she also knew she was merely an employee.
If she could turn owner, how great would that be?
Then, Chen Bin pressed further.
"If you find nothing after investigating, once I acquire the venue from Fang Mingkun, you can manage it. This is all my sincerity; if you still disagree, I'll find someone else."
Still silent, Zhang Zixuan sat quietly on the bed.
Chen Bin checked the time on his phone, stood up and said.
"It's getting late; you should stay here and rest well tonight. By tomorrow night, you better give me an accurate answer."
Once he finished speaking, he turned and left.
Upon returning home, Chen Bin received a message from Zhang Zixuan on WeChat.
"I agree to cooperate with you…"
