The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! - Chapter 211

211 Becoming a Partner

“How… How did this happen?” Victor’s words were intermittent. “No one knew that I placed you under house arrest. How did this happen?”

Zhou Xuan’s eyes were long and narrow, and his gaze was indifferent. “You underestimate us. You think that just by installing a camera in the room, nothing will go wrong? You’re simply dreaming. My people only appeared now because we didn’t want to escape. They waited until now to set a trap for you.”

“Victor, stop being stubborn.” Carter’s face was very calm, but he was already excited. “Cooperation without integrity is ultimately futile. Father and the people of Las Vegas will see what you just did before long.”

At this moment, Victor’s world seemed to collapse. He knew that when this matter was exposed, it would definitely touch his father’s sore spot. And he would be declared a failure in the family competition. He would be stepped on by his brother for the rest of his life.

Soon, the matter came to an end. Under the cover of the bodyguards, everyone left. Shan Yue and the other two temporarily stayed in the Vienna Hotel so that they could discuss cooperation with Carter later.

The video that was recorded quickly spread in the business circle. Victor’s reputation plummeted, and very few people supported him. In the end, it was the old man who used his connections to suppress this matter.

In a presidential suite on the 13th floor of the Vienna Hotel, Shan Yue and the other two sat opposite Carter.

“Miss Shan, it’s all thanks to you.” Carter was very excited. “According to your plan, after the video spread, most of Victor’s followers came to join me. Father also handed this project to me and instructed me to cooperate with you more sincerely.”

Shan Yue’s lips curled up and she appeared very calm. “Then congratulations, Mr. Carter, on successfully winning the project. According to our previous agreement, we’ll get this project for a billion.”

“Of course there’s no problem.” Carter was in a relaxed state. “I’m not like Victor. I’m most particular about integrity when I do business.” Then, he waved his hand and asked his assistant to bring him red wine and the contract.

“President Zhou, did I hear wrongly?” Mu Wei leaned to Zhou Xuan’s side and said softly, “If it’s sold at a price of a billion yuan, won’t we save a third of the cost?”

The coldness on Zhou Xuan’s face was faintly discernible, and his words exuded a powerful aura. “You didn’t hear wrongly. If I’m not wrong, there’s a deal between the two of them. Shan Yue helped him take down Victor, and he would sell the project for a billion.”

Mu Wei looked embarrassed. “I really didn’t expect Miss Shan to be so capable. I was talking about her before. I was too short-sighted.”

At this moment, the assistant beside him had already poured red wine for the four of them and placed the contract in front of Zhou Xuan.

“President Zhou, take a look at the contract first.” Carter shook the red wine in his hand. “If there’s no problem, we’ll be partners after signing the contract.”

After Zhou Xuan took a closer look at the contract, a smile appeared on his lips. He raised his glass of red wine. “Happy cooperation!”

The four of them clinked glasses and ended the conversation after signing the contract.

After watching Mu Wei return to his room, Zhou Xuan turned around and found Shan Yue. He finally had the chance to be alone with her.

“Thank you. This is the second time,” Zhou Xuan said slowly, his eyes not as cold as before. “Without you, although we could still escape safely, this cooperation might have ended in failure.”

Shan Yue’s lips curled up into a smile, and she looked calm. “You don’t have to thank me. It’s only right.”

“Right?” Zhou Xuan sounded puzzled. “Why? Isn’t your goal in Las Vegas money? Could there be another reason?”

“No.” There was an intriguing note in Shan Yue’s words. “Just as you’ll unconsciously stand in front of me when Victor points a gun at me.”
