A cold shiver ran down her spine. "Am I going to die?"
"Don't worry." He pulled the tip of her chin, "I won't let you die."
"I knew you would protect me." A smile came out of her mouth, like the ink in the tank slowly melted,
spreading over her whole beautiful face.
He sneered and said maliciously, "To protect you?" He sneered, "Your life or death has nothing to do
with me. What's more, if you die, I will even save my energy to divorce you."
She was stunned, and the smile froze on her lips and slowly disappeared. Dark clouds covered her
bright eyes. "Then what do you mean?"
His handsome and cold face was close to her, "The bullet shot me, and I want their heads to have a
good taste of the bullets. You will be safe if he dies."
Well, she understood. He did all these for himself and gave her a favor by the way.
"Well, thanks to you, I can live a few more years." She took out a tissue and wiped powder on his
finger. Her thoughtful act seemed to please him.
He raised his beautiful bushy eyebrows slightly, as if he was enjoying the feeling of being served by
her.
She poured a cup of tea and handed it to him. She was very hospitable, because she wanted him to do
her another favor.
"Tomorrow is an annual dinner in the chamber of Commerce, and the new deputy director is to be
selected. Will you support me?" She pursed her lips and smiled temptingly, as if she was playing a
honey trap on him.
The chamber of Commerce of Dragon City was of great importance in the business field. Those who
could enter the chamber of commerce were all powerful enterprises of Dragon City.
The management position included one president, two deputy presidents and ten directors. Albert had
been on the position of president for many years. And Baron and Jim's father, Hugo were the vice
presidents. Ever since Baron went into a coma, the Qin's group focused all their attention on his
position as the vice president, trying to replace him.
Being the acting CEO of Hengyuan Co., Ltd, Essie must try her best to keep the position of vice
president in the Xu's group, or Xu's Group would fall to a big bad position in the business field.
Zac took a sip of his tea. The sunlight sprinkled on his handsome face through the branches of flowers,
making his dark eyes even darker. Like an ancient well, which could not be reached by the sunlight,
they were unfathomable and unpredictable.
"Why should I support you?" he asked slowly in a low voice.
"Because the Xu family and the Rong's Group are not only partners but also relatives connected by
marriage. If you help me, it is the same to help the Rong's Group. If the position of vice president is
taken away by the Qin family, the commercial structure of Dragon City may be changed, which will do
no good to your Rong's Group," Essie analyzed calmly and smartly. She had seen clearly that the
election was not only for the fight between the Xu's group and the Qin's group, but also for the battle
between the Rong's Group and the Qin's group.
"What's your odds of winning?" Zac asked as his eyes flickered.
"If everything goes well, I can get four tickets, one is from the president, one is from you and the other
two are from Jim and his father."
"Really?" Zac raised his eyebrows slightly. "Why would the Jing Group support you?"
"Recently, the Jing Group and the Qin's group are competing with each other for the electronic market
in South Asia. Jim and his father are not so stupid to support the competitors, aren't they? Moreover,
since president Xu was appointed as the vice president, the business world of Dragon City has always
maintained a favorable position for the Jing Group. I believe they won't want to break this position," she
said thoughtfully.
A faint smile flitted over Zac's lips. He reached out his index finger and touched her head. "I find that
your brain is not only back channeling itself, but also divided into two extremes."
"What extremes?" She wondered.
"You are both stupid and frighteningly shrew," he spoke clearly and forcefully.
"Which side do you like?" Her curled eyelashes fluttered and she began to aware what happened.
"I don't like either side at all. It is not easy to control smart women, but stupid women are troublesome."
He made no lenient to give her a blow. Her bright eyes darkened for a moment, and then lit up again.
"You do like me a little bit, but you've lost your memory, so you do not know. Otherwise you wouldn't
take the risk of shielding a bullet for me."
"Is it a merit or a weakness of being shameless?" He pinched her pink cheek angrily. She cried out and
kneaded her rosy cheeks, "Of course, it is a good thing. Haven't you learned the 'The Thick and Black
Philosophy'?" She retorted back.
"You are still far from that." He sneered at her. In the business circle, she was just a young grass.
Without him, this big tree's cover, she would have died in the downpour of rain or the burnt of the sun.
She understood it quite well. So as long as she was not impulsive and reckless, she would try to make
a good relationship with this tall tree. However, the outside world was so irritated that it was hard for her
to keep calm all the time without any impulsion.
"I must receive more than half of the approval in the chamber of Commerce to get elected on the
position, and my sister is absent, so there are totally twelve candidates for the election. I must get two
more tickets. Do you know how I can get these two tickets?"
Taking a sip of tea, Zac slowly said, "You can't get it."
