Chapter 161 The Trap
Su Ya did not stay in a hotel either. In the evening, the two women lay in the same bed, exchanging business insights and comforting each other.
The next day, Liu Ran took the initiative to ask Cinderella for an offline meeting.
The other party agreed and also said they would come to pick up the goods.
The two agreed to meet at a Blue Mountain Coffee House in Qingzhou City.
This coffee house had average business, but its large area made it suitable for business discussions and was quite quiet.
Liu Ran went to the coffee shop in advance. She sat by the window, looking at her watch from time to time, waiting.
About three minutes later, the door of the coffee house was pushed open, and then Bai Leitian, dressed in a white suit, walked in.
Bai Leitian walked up to Liu Ran, a smug smile on his face. He looked down at Liu Ran and said, "Ms. Liu? Hello, I'm here to pick up the goods."
Liu Ran looked up at Bai Leitian, her face suddenly changed. Her eyes held a trace of anger, but also a trace of fear.
Liu Ran said to Bai Leitian, "You... are you Cinderella?"
Bai Leitian laughed heartily and sat down, nodding at Liu Ran. "You could say that. After all, Cinderella is my secretary. I'm here today to take away the ten thousand sets of Royal Jade Skin Powder Cream as benefits for my employees."
Liu Ran suddenly understood. She looked at Bai Leitian, gritted her teeth, and then said in a low voice, "Young Master Bai, so you did it on purpose. It has something to do with Wang Hongwei playing us for fools, doesn't it?"
Bai Leitian laughed heartily, shaking his head. "Liu Ran, don't accuse me right off the bat! I genuinely wanted to buy your products, and I sincerely wanted to support you."
"Seeing how hard you worked selling on the live stream, I ordered ten thousand sets of cosmetics to support your entrepreneurship! Don't misunderstand my good intentions!"
Liu Ran's eyes turned red. She was furious, but at this moment, she could only swallow her pride.
She said softly to Bai Leitian, "Young Master Bai, I... I admit I lost. Could you be more lenient about the fifteen million yuan compensation? Fifteen million yuan is too much."
Bai Leitian nodded and said, "Of course, Liu Ran. You know, I've always liked you. I fell for you the first time I saw you in high school."
"Back then, I even went to your house to deliver coal, but you didn't agree. You said you were young and wanted to live your own life, to go to college. I agreed, and I continued to pursue you after you went to college."
"But you? You always avoided me."
"To be honest, Liu Ran, we are not from the same world, but I am still willing to humble myself to pursue you. Doesn't that explain everything?"
"Any beautiful girl in Jiang Province, if I snap my fingers and reveal my identity, they would obediently come to me. Why can't you?"
"I don't mind your background, I don't mind that you are already married. I just want you to come to my side, let me take care of you, let me protect you. That delivery guy Chen Yang is a good-for-nothing, he doesn't deserve you. Why are you so unwilling?"
Liu Ran shook her head rapidly, her eyes pleading. She said to Bai Leitian, "Young Master Bai, the past is in the past. I am married now. No matter who Chen Yang is, no matter if he has money or talent, he is my husband."
"I will only be with him and will never consider any other man. Young Master Bai, please let me off this time!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Leitian slammed the table, his eyes filled with ferocity. He glared at Liu Ran and said, "Liu Ran, don't be ungrateful. I, the great young master of the Bai family, have humbled myself to propose to you several times, yet you refuse me so righteously every time."
"I just don't understand, why are you so foolish? What can you gain by following such a delivery guy? Look, your business failed, what can he do to help you?"
"Can the dozens of yuan he earns every day help you cover this fifteen million yuan hole?! Can he shelter you from the storm and save you from jail?"
"You should have been a carefree noble lady after marriage, but now? You still have to show your face, still have to do live streams to sell products. What can you get by following him?"
"In short, there's only one sentence today: If you follow me, the fifteen million yuan will be waived, and I'll give you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. If you don't agree, not a single cent of the fifteen million can be reduced. It must be transferred to my account before six o'clock this afternoon. We will proceed according to the contract. If you fail to complete it, then you will go to jail."
Liu Ran looked up at Bai Leitian, looking pitiful.
Bai Leitian was stunned for a moment, then sneered, "I won't let anyone else have the woman I can't have. Take three minutes to consider it yourself!"
Liu Ran's heart grew cold. It turned out that this was a trap from the very beginning. She had thought that by meeting Cinderella, she could have the fine waived or reduced, but she never expected it to be Bai Leitian's trap all along.
Liu Ran was angry and regretful, but also helpless.
She clenched her fists, hesitating, not knowing what else she could do at this moment.
Just then, the door of the coffee shop was pushed open again, and Chen Yang walked in, wearing his delivery uniform, holding a mobile phone.
Chen Yang came over with a smile and greeted Liu Ran and Bai Leitian.
Seeing Chen Yang, Liu Ran's fear immediately lessened. She quickly stood up and said, "Chen Yang, why are you here? It's great that you're here. Let's go back, I was just about to leave!"
Bai Leitian stood opposite them and sneered, "What use is a delivery guy like him here?"
Chen Yang whistled and said to Bai Leitian, "Oh! Young Master Bai, I'm not here to deliver food today. I'm here to deliver products to you. Thank you for supporting my wife's entrepreneurship by ordering three million yuan worth of products!"
"By the way, you should also say hello to the viewers in the live stream and let them know that the young master of Jiang Province's number one family, the Bai family, Bai Tianlei, has great faith in the products of our Yang Yang Yang Brand Design Company, placing an order of three million yuan in one go!"
Bai Leitian sneered upon hearing Chen Yang's words. He said to Chen Yang, "Yes, I have great faith in your products, and I sincerely ordered ten thousand units of cosmetics. What about the result? You haven't sold them and must compensate according to the regulations."
Chen Yang laughed heartily and said, "Young Master Bai, stop joking. Since you placed an order, how could we not have produced it?"
"I'm not here to deliver the products to you this time? Look at the two cars outside, they are the cosmetics you ordered, all ready."
"What?" Bai Leitian frowned and suddenly turned to look outside the coffee shop.
Indeed, two vans were parked outside the coffee shop.
The doors of the vans were opened, revealing neatly stacked sets of Royal Jade Skin Powder Cream cosmetics inside.
Chen Yang said to the audience in the live stream, "Everyone, do you see? Young Master Bai is a true nobleman! For those who don't know his identity, go and search on Baidu for the heir of the Bai family in Jiang Province, and see how noble Young Master Bai is! But even with his status, he likes our royal court cosmetics. He placed an order for ten thousand units in one go. What are you still hesitating for? Hurry and place your orders!"
After speaking, Chen Yang ended the live stream and looked at his wife Liu Ran with a smile.
Liu Ran stood there, her mind blank, looking at the neatly arranged cosmetics outside the window in disbelief.
Then, Liu Ran suddenly turned around, opened her arms, and hugged Chen Yang's neck tightly, affectionately and closely.
