Chapter 12 : Terminated

Outside, even though gray clouds still cover the sky, the rain had long subdued for Imperial.

Ning Xi and Lie Wei sat in a booth inside a small restaurant called DLF. It was Chinese restaurant for many locals and commoners to dine.

"Now I really don't get you at all. You have so much money, but here you are, eating at a local restaurant. I have not met a single rich person who spends money like you." Lie Wei said while he looks around the restaurant.

He frown as he realize, all the men in the restaurant were staring at Ning Xi with flushed faces but glaring at him as if he was some kind of pest.

Ignoring all the angry stares, he looks back at Ning Xi who was calmly sipping her warm coffee.

"Plus, why do you dress like that? I thought billionaires like to flaunt their wealth around."

Placing the cup in her hand down, Ning Xi looks at Lie Wei.

He was a handsome young man at the age of 20 and he knew his fashion professionally well. He wore grey slacks with a white dress shirt and an over-sized black mid length blazer, paired with some tan loafers. His hair was nice combed too.

"Lie Wei, am I not paying you enough so you're now a busy body?"

Startled, Lie Wei's face flushed red before he shrug his shoulders. "I'm just saying. I mean, look at you. You're the most beautiful woman I've seen seen in my entire life and yet, you don't ever brag about it at all like other women."

"Plus you have money, but you don't flash it everywhere you go. Others may think your clothes are inexpensive, but I know that one clothing item of yours is half of what you pay me."

"You just like really simple things, right?"

"You're correct, but I prefer to enjoy my own needs, rather than worry about others opinions about myself." Ning Xi said before drinking her coffee.

"Besides, what's the point of flaunting my worth? I'll just end up attracting hungry flies and scheming vixens only.

Minutes later, a waiter arrives at their booth with their food.

Ning Xi ordered spicy fish and a side of rice, while Lie Wei ordered honey walnut shrimp and fried rice. Both were also served warm egg drop soup on the side.

After eating, Lie Wei paid for their mean. Since he was a gentleman and he didn't want Ning Xi , who is his boss and gifts him a big cheque to pay for their small meal.

Lie Wei looks down at his gold watch, '6:35pm'.

"We should get going, the ceremony starts at 8pm. You still need to change and get your make up and hair done."

Walking to Lie Wei's black BMW, Lie Wei opened the door for Ning Xi as she got in. He then walks around the car to the driver seat and drove away,

What they didn't see was two young teenage girls in school uniforms dying of happiness inside DLF's.

"I can't believe I just saw Ning Xi ! I never thought I'd get to meet her in my entire life!"

"I know! She's so different from others ! I should have asked for her autograph!! Sob Sob!!"😢😢😭😭😭

Dark Haven Hotel, in a private room, a social gathering was taking place.

This gathering consisted of all the well known bachelors in Imperial and highly wealthy businessmen.

Women were ordered to services all the men and keep them entertained for the night.

Every men inside was handsome and super attractive and all the women present were different types of beauties.

Yet, in a dark corner, a man around thirty years old was extremely nervous. He was sitting next to another man, but this man held an aloof and cold aura with an indifferent expression.

"CEO Tan , I'd like to know why you want to terminate our business contract. We've been doing so good, did something go wrong?" Tang Xu asked nervously.

He is the charming Chairman of SYS Holding, but when it came to Kim Tan, the CEO of Tan Corps, he pales in comparison by far.

Tang Xu and Kim Tan have been business partners for 3 years. There's not a single businessman or industry in the world who doesn't want to be business partners with China's wealthiest man.

And his business has been running good, but, he doesn't understand why Kim Tan would suddenly want to terminate their contract.

He requested for a meeting today at 4 pm, but Tan Corps never confirmed it. So, his only chance was to come to this social gathering and meet the man.

Getting no response, Tang Xu became even more anxious. He quickly gestures for a pretty girl in a tight red body con dress to come over. He glance at Kim Tan and smile, "CEO Tan , please enjoy this gift from me. I made sure to save the best for you."

The girl in the red dress was exceptionally pretty, but it was thanks to her thick makeup with bright red lipstick. The red body con dress outlined her body perfectly showing her curvy h.i.p.s and big b.r.e.a.s.ts. Her brown hair was tightly curled.

Any man who sees her would definitely allow her to service them, but Kim Tan didn't even look at her, he just frown in disgust when he heard Tang Xu

"No need." His deep voice sounded before the girl neared him.

The girl froze in place hearing Kim Tan's words. She forced herself to keep smiling and stood by Tang Xu .

With a tone so indifferently, he said, "Chairman Tang, I terminated our contract because your younger sister thought it was wise enough for her to go around pretending to be my fiance." He swivel the glass of red wine in his hand. "I have no fiance and neither have I ever met your sister or plan to. If you can't clear that mind of hers then consider our contract being terminated as a gift."

"I... I.. I didn't know Tang Mei did such a thing." Tang Xu was dumbfounded. Of all reasons, it was his damn little sister's fault! He'll need to have a talk with her when he gets home. "Don't worry CEO Tan, I'll definitely talk to my sister."

Kim Tan nod his head and stands up, "I hope you do bid by it. Now, if you'll excuse me."

He walks away from Tang Xu and heads toward the men's restroom.
