"No... no problem!" Manager Li hastily shook his head as he struggled into his chair and then asked, "Chairman Xiao, have you... have you gone crazy for money? Hanmen Technology, a small company established just a few days ago, barely makes a few hundred thousand in profits over a year. You're asking for twenty million, do you know how many Hanmen Technologies that amount could buy?"

"It doesn't matter, you don't have to buy!" Xiao Han chuckled before adding, "There will be plenty of people who will!"

"Hahaha!" Manager Li burst out laughing upon hearing this, "Go on, name one person who'd like to see it. I'm very curious to see how many people want to buy your Hanmen Technology, to see who in LJ city would dare to offer twenty million."

Haha…

A group of people all started laughing.

"You don't believe it?" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow.

"Forget twenty million, if you even sell it for ten million, I, Li Huaijiu, will change my name to Xiao Huaijiu!" Manager Li declared.

"Deal!" Xiao Han nodded and then said, "Call your family and have them send over the household registration book. I'll make a call to have someone come over to sign the contract!"

Having said that, Xiao Han immediately began making a phone call.

…

Meanwhile, Liu Meiying was watching the screen with a puzzled face.

"Director Liu, this…" The secretary was getting anxious.

"Hmph, this guy has a lively mind," Liu Meiying scoffed before saying, "He's obviously trying to make Li Huaijiu look bad. But isn't he afraid of being exposed?"

"But, if someone really does offer that much to buy Hanmen Technology, what then?" The secretary quickly asked.

"Don't worry!" Liu Meiying shook her head, then said, "This is Meida Group's territory, who would dare to come here? That would be like snatching meat from the mouth of a tiger."

"Director Liu is right!" The secretary agreed.

In truth, Liu Meiying wasn't feeling too confident. Comparatively, she hoped more to acquire Hanmen Technology and Apple's authorization. However, she liked to press her opponents first before sitting down to negotiate properly. This was a tactic Liu Meiying often used in the business world, and many people were aware that she enjoyed playing this game.

There were also many who had suffered at the hands of Liu Meiying.

Liu Meiying was not only a very dominating woman in life with a tactic of gaining the upper hand first, but she was also a formidable character in the business world, naturally domineering and exceptionally arrogant and rude to people and things alike. The reason she could be so domineering and so prejudiced was that she had capital—the immensely powerful backing of Meida Group.

Because of her aggressiveness and arrogance, she would do whatever it took to get what she wanted. To acquire the Apple authorization, she had sent people to the provincial city to negotiate with Huihong Group multiple times, but they completely ignored her. After several fruitless negotiations, Liu Meiying could only back down.

After all, Huihong Group held a rather strong position in the provincial city and domestically; it wasn't easy for just anyone to shake it. Besides, Huihong Group's market value was much higher than that of Meida Group. The two groups were not even on the same level.

In the conference room on the eleventh floor.

The atmosphere was extremely tense; Li Huaijiu kept glancing up at a camera behind Xiao Han, seemingly seeking guidance from the company's higher-ups. Yet, there were no instructions coming through the low-frequency communication earpiece, making him even more nervous.

Li Huaijiu had just been arranged to come over for negotiations today; typically, he was merely a receptionist in the hotel lobby. Suddenly being called upon for this task, to put it bluntly, meant being used as a pawn. Although Li Huaijiu had a thousand, ten thousand disagreements inside, he still had to obediently follow orders.

Sitting in the conference room felt like sitting on pins and needles, and the people beside Li Huaijiu were even more nervous—they were just hotel wait staff who had been abruptly tasked with a temporary mission. They had no choice but to dress up in suits and shoes and sit in the office, behaving properly. They had to remain unflappable in the face of any changes.

Xiao Han didn't have Liu Si's phone number, but he did have Li Shan's.

"Xiao Han?" Li Shan expressed surprise upon receiving Xiao Han's call.

"It's me!" Xiao Han nodded and said, "I've come to the Sheraton today and would like to discuss investing with you. Is Fourth Master there?"

"He is, just a moment!" Li Shan's voice became somewhat cheerful at the prospect.

Through the phone, Xiao Han could hear the sound of dress shoes hastily striking the floor, which meant Li Shan was running to find Liu Si.

Before long, the languid voice of Liu Si came through, "Xiao Han, have you made up your mind?"

"Bring your people to the Sheraton Hotel's conference room on the eleventh floor," Xiao Han replied, "The sooner, the better. Also, bring your contract and lawyer; we may need to modify the contract at any time, so try to sign it today."

"Eh?" Liu Si was confused. A simple contract signing, why at the Sheraton Hotel?

The drive from Yanjiang Road to the Sheraton Hotel in Wangjiang District wasn't far, just over ten minutes by car. However, Liu Si couldn't understand what this was all about. As he was pondering, Xiao Han's voice came again, "Don't overthink it, just bring your people. I'll wait for you for twenty minutes. If you aren't here within twenty minutes, I'll sell Hanmen Technology to someone else!"

```

"Okay, I'll be right there!" Liu Si panicked as soon as he heard the news.

He dropped the phone, leapt up from the sofa and commanded loudly, "Old Li, have the car ready and bring Lawyer Qi with you. Also, have Lawyer Qi bring the contract for the share acquisition in Hanmen Technology. We're heading to the Sheraton Hotel immediately!"

"Yes!" Li Shan responded and hurriedly started to make phone calls.

......

In the conference room on the eleventh floor of the Sheraton Hotel.

Xiao Han hung up the phone and lightly placed it on the table, crossing his legs leisurely. His sharp eyes focused on the nervousness of the other party, which made him appear even more relaxed. The more nervous they were, the more relaxed Xiao Han became. Their nervousness signified the importance they placed on today's negotiation.

"Did you really make that call?" Li Huaijiu asked curiously.

"Would I lie to you?" Xiao Han gestured toward the phone on the table and said, "If you don't believe me, you can check the call log!"

Li Huaijiu hastily stood up, but just as he did so, he quickly sat down again. He felt that looking through someone else's phone was a disrespectful act. A sly smile formed at the corner of Xiao Han's mouth as he said, "What? Not checking after all?"

"No, I won't check!" Li Huaijiu shook his head and said, "There's nothing to see. Won't we verify the truth in twenty minutes?" Read new chapters at empire

"That's also true!" Xiao Han nodded.

The atmosphere in the meeting room turned cold again. Although it was the end of winter and the start of spring, they felt extremely hot. Li Huaijiu felt his back soaked through with sweat and quickly loosened his necktie, exclaiming, "It's really damn hot."

"Indeed, such a large Meida Group, and not even a cup of tea is provided!" Xiao Han mocked scornfully, "So this is your hospitality."

As he spoke, Xiao Han turned his head to glance at the camera on the wall behind him, his words seemingly laden with innuendo.

Upon hearing this, Liu Meiying from the top floor immediately said, "What's going on? Why wasn't tea arranged?"

Director Liu, didn't you instruct us to give them the cold shoulder?" asked the secretary awkwardly.

"How can we afford to lose the art of hospitality?" Liu Meiying rebuked with annoyance, "Go quickly, see that tea is served!"

"Yes!" The secretary nodded hastily, holding the intercom and quickly instructing the hotel staff to serve tea and refreshments.

Soon, tea and refreshments were delivered to the conference room.

Seeing this, Xiao Han was even more convinced that someone was pulling the strings behind the scenes. Otherwise, Li Huaijiu and his team had not ordered for tea and refreshments, yet someone had brought them.

Xiao Han continued to tap his legs, snacking on refreshments and sipping tea.

"Xiao Han, how can you still be in the mood to eat?" Yang Lu asked anxiously, "They're simply bullying us!"

"It's okay!" Xiao Han shook his head and then said, "Let them bully us all they want, we're not at a loss!"

"You!" Yang Lu was at a loss for words at Xiao Han's attitude.

"Sister Yang, eat with peace of mind," Xiao Han said with a smile. "We just need to stick to our principles. If nobody offends me, I don't offend anybody, but if someone offends me, I cut them down to the roots. This time they are bullying us, so... naturally, we need to properly humiliate them in return!"

"How shall we humiliate them?" Yang Lu asked curiously.

"There will be a good show to watch soon!" Xiao Han raised an eyebrow and his lips curled slightly.

Yang Lu's mind was in disarray, unable to focus on eating or drinking. She wished she could slam the table and leave, but Xiao Han seemed to have a plan in mind, so she could only sit patiently in the conference room and wait. The people from Meida Group started to eat and drink relaxing as if not in a negotiation at all. If they were truly here to negotiate, they would not be so lax and neglectful.

Of course, Xiao Han had never intended to sell Hanmen Technology to Meida Group. Coming here today was nothing more than an attempt to pressure Liu Si by using Meida Group, aiming to push up the price. Another reason was to show Meida Group a bit of color and let them know that Hanmen Technology was not as simple as they imagined.

Ten minutes had just passed. A group of people hurriedly walked in from outside.

A party of five, led by Liu Si, with Li Shan and Lawyer Qi closely following, and two bodyguards at the rear— the group appeared particularly imposing as they walked in.

Liu Si pushed open the door to the conference room, and as he entered, he was somewhat puzzled. Xiao Han was wearing a mask, and although Liu Si recognized him, a thought raced through his mind. Being astute, Liu Si certainly wouldn't call out Xiao Han's name in person. Since Xiao Han wanted to hide his face, it indicated he did not wish to reveal to anyone that he was the owner of Hanmen Technology.
