My Killing President
Chapter 49 Ace

A deal?

His eyebrow rose quickly in eager, "I am all ears!"

Ralphy was curious and puzzled, what exactly was she brewing!

Yoi leisurely stood up and approached him, "Mr. Xia, now that you are seeing Annabelle, why not you let her work in your company?"

And now Ralphy totally grasped her motive - Annabelle!

He raised his eyes uninterestedly and reclined on his chair, "And then?"

"There are so many outstanding lads in Yun Rui, are you not worried that someone else could win her heart?" Yoi crooned light-heartedly. She was trying to stir unease and purposely omitted Alistair. However, Ralphy's lips curled upwards and he did not seem to be bothered at all, "Thank you for the heads up Miss Han, but I'm not worried."

Yoi's eyebrows slowly gathered and jeered, "Mr. Xia, I applaud your confidence!"

"Well, should I be the person who worry over that, or should you, Miss Han?"

Yoi was taken aback for a moment, "What do you mean?"

"You should know very well what I mean," Ralphy enunciated each word slowly, maintaining a faint smirk, "If we are to discuss a deal, shouldn't Miss Han be more transparent?”

Yoi tightened her fist. Others had always said Ralphy was a simple minded man, but she would definitely vouch otherwise!

Since Ralphy had laid it out blatantly, she now needs to negotiate terms with him. As long as she got to keep Alistair, anything can be ceded.

"I know that you are competing with our company for a land auction. If you can convince Annabelle to leave Yun Rui, in return I will persuade my dad to concede that land to you!" Yoi spoke determinedly. Ralphy's interest was aroused, that piece of property was of paramount value to him! He had been eyeing it for so long and trying every means to get it.

"Miss Han, I think you have yet to bring out the main dish..."

Yoi's eyebrows pulled together into a frown, what more did he want?

"Your concern lies in Alistair, am I wrong?" Ralphy made a confident implication. His poised and self-assertive gesture showed that he was likely to clinch advantageously. After all, he already knew Yoi's uncompromising margin the very second she mentioned Annabelle.

"Correct. The sole reason this collaboration even exist was because of Alistair. Therefore, if you can get Annabelle to leave Yun Rui, I will manage my dad's side!" Her eyes were gleaming with unwavering determination and restlessness.

That was a sweet bargain! Ralphy was tempted.

They looked at each other keenly in silence. Then it was Ralphy that first spoke, "What makes you think that I can't get the land by myself?"

The Xia Group was no longer the shagged company it used to be few years ago, now it was more or less a fair competition with the Hans group.

"Mr. Xia, then are you rejecting my offer?" Yoi challenged, "I see where your confidence comes from and I acknowledge the capabilities of your company. However, if our Hans Group were to commit fully, can you still be as optimistic?"

She swaggered nearer to Ralphy and lowered her voice, "The truth is, the owner of that land is a family friend!"

So that was it! Yoi's trump card!000
