Chapter 12: Who Knows Who Will Be Unlucky?

"Learned how to negotiate, huh? Don't forget you asked for my help to deal with the Du Family... When you speak to me, be polite."

Yu Xiuli was really annoyed by the tone this girl used to talk to him, acting all high and mighty.

Over 5000 years of history, no, since he came back to the country to start his business five years ago, nobody had dared to be so arrogant towards him.

"The way you're putting it sounds backwards, President Yu. Did you forget? I won the lottery first. I'm the grand prize winner, isn't it normal to have my own demands? After all, you chose me out of thirty thousand people," Gu Xia said, lifting her chin and rolling her eyes.

Yu Xiuli felt a vague pain in his chest; he could sense that the next year of his life was going to be "interestingly torturous."

Maybe Gu Xia felt that irritating President Yu wasn't enough—she added another line.

"Buddy, I do feel sorry for you... Think about it, choosing out of thirty thousand people, and you ended up picking me… Poor you, going blind at such a young age... So once this contract is signed, who knows who might be the unlucky one?"

Yu Xiuli: …

"Can I back out now?" President Yu's face turned from blue to white.

"Sure you can, one apartment worth five million... Hand it over, and I'll get the hell out of here, ready to get off the plane at any moment," Gu Xia extended her hand.

Yu Xiuli glanced out of the plane window.

"We're at ten thousand meters altitude, above the ocean. Are you sure you want to leave the plane?"

"I mean after we land…" Gu Xia said with a correcting smile.

"You, being an Assistant Guard Team member fits you well... you might never get a permanent position in your lifetime."

Yu Xiuli really didn't want to continue this back-and-forth; he was genuinely worried about getting a heart attack.

Their first direct confrontation had already demonstrated this girl's deviousness.

Even President Yu, who was good at sharp-tongued remarks, had no good comeback, indicating the extraordinary level of this bratty girl.

"A lifetime without a permanent position, no income, are you going to provide for me?"

Gu Xia rolled her eyes again and then violently opened the door to the private room.

At the middle of the night, their first face-to-face meeting ended not on pleasant terms.

Until they landed, Gu Xia didn't see Yu Xiuli again.

But she didn't care, eating and drinking, lounging with crossed legs like a boss.

Her appetite was great; it was indeed her first time traveling abroad, her first time on a private jet.

Having grown up with Old Gu, she hadn't had it tough, never lacking food or clothing.

But her family wasn't wealthy, which didn't allow her to experience such high-end lifestyles.

Though Gu Xia might be a commoner, she didn't behave crassly.

Her apparent greediness was often just for a fleeting, mouthwatering indulgence.

After all, she was raised by Old Gu, the old superpowered person; she still had a sense of shame and moral boundaries.

If not for Old Gu's connection, if not for Lu You...

With her background, she might not even qualify for an Assistant Guard Team position, who knows where she could be?

In another private room

Yu Xiuli was laying on a large sofa, holding a champagne.

Watching on the camera, someone with a great appetite holding a pig's trotter in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other.

He couldn't help but laugh...

Truly born an optimist...

Today, if Meng Fan were here, he really wanted to ask what his opinion of that woman was at this moment. That woman is definitely a trap, right?

Hours later, the private jet smoothly landed.

Immediately after, a group disembarked from the plane and got into the gold-colored Rolls Royce that had come to pick them up.

Yu Xiuli hadn't prepared any formal attire for Gu Xia, so she was dressed simply.

She wore a white shirt brought from home, somewhat worn-out jeans, and white sneakers.

Yu Xiuli opted for a low-key look too, wearing tan casual pants and a deep V-neck T-shirt.

Inside the Rolls Royce

"What brand is your outfit? Is it a new Lv model?" Gu Xia was extremely curious.

Feeling that someone of Yu Xiuli's stature would wear very expensive international top brands, she didn't see any logo on the clothing though.
