"..." The man in the black shirt remained silent.

"So it doesn't really matter whether this video is kept or not." The black-haired girl nodded and said to the man in the black shirt, "Anyway, you guys who failed in your challenge will end up the same way, right? Hmm... if you really want to know, the difference might be that if you have this video, you'll get criticized even more harshly?"

"...So?" The man in the black shirt was silent for a moment, then asked, "Why are you telling me all this?"

"I'm here on someone's behalf." The black-haired girl smiled, pointing to the ceiling. "Look at the current situation, you and Yuncheng First Security Protection Co., Ltd. are both being ostracized by the industry. The outcome for you is probably quite tragic, isn't it?"

"Hehe, you guys have Sister Wei, things won't get too bad."

"What about you?"

"..."

"Looks like you're going to have a tough time." The black-haired girl nodded.

"Are you ever going to stop?!" The man in the black shirt clenched his fist and slammed it hard on the table. "Aren't you ashamed of me as you are?!"

"How could that be?" The black-haired girl smiled slightly. "I'm here to remind you."

"Reminder of what?"

"Let me remind you, you clearly have another path to take." The black-haired girl looked at the man in the black shirt, her face full of gentle smiles. "You... can't you still cooperate with Yuncheng First Security Protection Co., Ltd...?"

Chapter 2489 I'm Here to Talk Business

The black-haired girl's voice echoed in the quiet suite.

The man in the black shirt seemed to be shocked by the black-haired girl's words. He stared wide-eyed, not replying for a moment, just staring blankly at the person in front of him.

Just then, the empty wine bottle that was lying on the table rolled off and fell to the ground.

Snapped!

The bottle shattered on the ground, spilling the remaining liquor everywhere.

The crisp sound startled the man in the black shirt.

"You mean... cooperation?" The man in the black shirt gasped.

“Yes, cooperation.” The black-haired girl nodded with a smile. She raised a finger and asked the man in the black shirt, “Your company’s competitiveness mainly lies in training excellent female bodyguards, right? In terms of the overall quality of female bodyguards, is there any company in the industry that does it better than yours?”

"Of course not!" the man in the black shirt quickly denied, then said with great confidence, "This is the only thing I can be sure of! No company in the world understands the training of female bodyguards better than us!"

The man in the black shirt wasn't bluffing.

The cost of training female bodyguards worldwide far exceeds that of training male bodyguards of equal ability. This is due not only to issues such as talent selection, physical fitness differences, and gender employment preferences, but also largely because current bodyguard training methods in the industry are based on male models, making the old-fashioned training methods unsuitable for women's physiques.

To carve out a niche in the fiercely competitive bodyguard industry, the company the man in the black shirt worked for opted for a unique approach: training exceptional female bodyguards. To achieve this, the company poured virtually everything into the training process, allocating countless human, material, and personal resources—almost like money was no object. To develop a training method specifically suited to women's physiques, the company even employed an entire research team in biology and medicine, resulting in an exceptionally high level of financial expenditure.

This is why the man in the black shirt is absolutely convinced of his company's dominant position in the field of female bodyguard capabilities.

"Apart from Sister Wei from Yuncheng's No. 1 Security Company, there is no female bodyguard in the world stronger than our company!" the man in the black shirt swore to the person in front of him.

"It's precisely because your female bodyguards possess exceptional strength that the industry chose to send you to challenge us this time, right?" the black-haired girl asked with a smile.

"..." The man in the black shirt remained silent, then slowly nodded.

"Your company came here to challenge us with the expectations of the industry on its shoulders. If you fail, the consequences will be severe, right?" The black-haired girl said to the man in the black shirt. Her pure voice sounded particularly enticing and thought-provoking in the dark suite. "Even a behemoth like Yuncheng First Security Co., Ltd. is struggling to operate after being targeted by the industry. If you were the target, how long could you last?"

The man in the black shirt had sweat beading on his forehead.

The thing the black-haired girl mentioned was something the man in the black shirt didn't want to face, but had to face nonetheless.

"I probably... won't last more than three months," the man in the black shirt said with difficulty.

"What a pity," the black-haired girl said.

"Then what can we do?"

"Isn't that a solution?" The black-haired girl took out a contract from behind her and handed it to the man in the black shirt. "Now, let's get back to the cooperation."

The man in the black shirt stared wide-eyed at the contract handed to him.

"This is……"

"It's more like a cooperation agreement," the black-haired girl said with a smile. "Although Yuncheng's No. 1 Security Company is huge, you can see its shortcomings. That is, the company lacks a large number of excellent female bodyguards, and your company happens to be the one in the industry that can provide the best female bodyguards."

"You, you want to acquire us?!" The man in the black shirt stared wide-eyed.

"No, no, it's just cooperation, cooperation." The black-haired girl corrected the man in the black shirt, waving her finger. "Yuncheng First Security Company will not interfere with your company's operations. You will remain the same, that will never change. The only difference is that when Yuncheng First Security Company encounters situations requiring female bodyguards, they hope your company can provide some assistance. Of course, depending on the level of cooperation, Yuncheng First Security Company might also choose to directly recommend the female bodyguard business to your company."

"Wow, such a good thing really exists?" The man in the black shirt stared blankly at the contract in his hand.

"If you don't believe me, you can look it up yourself," the black-haired girl said, pointing to the contract.

The man in the black shirt swallowed hard. He quickly opened the contract and began to carefully read through each page.

The man in the black shirt quickly finished reading the contract.

"How is it? Are you satisfied?" the black-haired girl asked.

"Look, I've finished reading..." The man in the black shirt stared blankly at the black-haired girl, as if he were living in a dream.

The contents of the contract are indeed as the black-haired girl just said. As long as Yuncheng First Security Company and the company where the man in the black shirt works establish a cooperative relationship, they can share each other's customer resources. Considering the huge size of Yuncheng First Security Company and its potential customer demand, this can be said to be a win-win situation for the company where the man in the black shirt works.

"I...I don't understand...what benefit does this bring to your Yuncheng No. 1 Security Company?" the man in the black shirt asked, puzzled.

“Isn’t the benefit obvious?” The black-haired girl smiled as she approached the man in the black shirt and said slowly, “The advantage of Yuncheng’s No. 1 Security Company is its large number of highly qualified male bodyguards, while your company’s advantage is its female bodyguards. If we can complement each other’s strengths and weaknesses, will we still need to be mindful of the industry’s opinions?”

"Look... at the industry's reaction..." The man in the black shirt stared blankly ahead.

The black-haired girl handed a pen and placed it on the contract of the man in the black shirt.

“We’re both being targeted by the industry right now, and if this continues, we’ll both suffer. So, we might as well get rid of this ungrateful industry.” The black-haired girl spoke softly to the man in the black shirt, her voice seemingly magically entering his ears. “If we cooperate, we can become an unshakeable behemoth in this industry, and together we’ll turn this industry upside down. What do you say?”

Chapter 2490 Which family should the admiral choose?

"how?"

The black-haired girl's voice echoed in the black-shirted man's ears. Her voice was as pure as water, yet it seemed to contain an irresistible, profound magic that made one feel as if they were about to abandon their thoughts and fall into an abyss with her.

The man in the black shirt looked at the contract in his hand, his whole body trembling slightly as he gripped the ballpoint pen.

"It's turned the industry upside down..." The man in the black shirt was breathing heavily, his entire body covered in cold sweat. "Is...is this the only way out...?"

"This collaboration is no small matter for you, as it's tantamount to declaring war on the industry. I know you need time to process this, and that's why we won't rush you. We will respect all your choices," the black-haired girl said slowly. "Ah... of course, we still hope you can reply to us within three months. After all, whether your company can survive the industry's targeting after three months is still unknown."

"..." The man in the black shirt lowered his head, his eyes bloodshot with tension, and sweat dripped down his forehead.

"Please take your time to consider. I'll take my leave now." The black-haired girl slowly bowed to the man in the black shirt, then turned and left.

"Wait!" The man in the black shirt suddenly called out to the black-haired girl.

"What is it?" The black-haired girl stopped and turned around.

"Who...who exactly are you?" the man in the black shirt asked urgently, his eyes wide. "Why are you talking to me about this?"

"I'm Veneto's family member, nothing more." The black-haired girl smiled slightly and turned around.

The man in the black shirt stared blankly as the black-haired girl lifted the curtain and disappeared outside.

The suite returned to its usual quiet.

However, inside the suite, the man in the black shirt was in a state of utter confusion.

The man in the black shirt looked down at the contract in his hand, his breathing rapid, his heart pounding as if it were about to burst out of his chest.

A thousand thoughts flashed through the mind of the man in the black shirt.

"Perhaps...cooperation isn't always necessary," the man in the black shirt murmured. "If we can get this cooperation agreement back into the industry, and the industry recognizes our importance, then to prevent us from forming an alliance with Yuncheng's No. 1 Security Company, they might let us off the hook..."

"Just bring this contract back!"

"Just take it back!"

The man in the black shirt grabbed the contract as if it were a lifeline and was about to stuff it into his backpack, but the moment he hurriedly opened the backpack to put the contract in, his movements suddenly stopped.

"But... what will happen to us if Yuncheng's No. 1 Security Company goes bankrupt..."

"Will the industry appreciate our loyalty and stop holding us accountable later...?"

The man in the black shirt slowly took out the contract, looking at the slightly wrinkled creases on it.

"Could it be that after taking down Yuncheng's No. 1 Security Company, we'll be next?" the man in the black shirt muttered to himself. "Could it be..."

"..."

The suite was very quiet.

The man in the black shirt sitting in the chair gritted his teeth, his face contorted in a grimace.

"...Damn it...Why should I...why should I be a dog in this industry? Why should they boss me around?!" The man in the black shirt gritted his teeth, clenching his fists. "I want to win! I want to win! I want to win!!! To hell with this industry! Why should I gamble my life on someone else's mercy?! Good or bad, more or less, I should fight for it all!!! I don't want to be a dog, I want to be the master!! The master!! That's how it should be!!!"

The man in the black shirt almost growled as he said those words.

"If you won't let me live, I'll turn your world upside down! I'll make your lives a living hell! I'll fight you to the death!!!"

The man in the black shirt gripped the ballpoint pen tightly and, with all his might, wrote his name at the bottom of the contract.

A rustling sound came from the air.

After writing his name, the man in the black shirt threw down the pen, leaned back in his chair as if he had exhausted all his strength, and laughed loudly.

"Hahahaha!!! That felt so good, so incredibly good, so damn good!!!"

"Waiter! Where's the waiter?!"

"I want barbecue, I want to drink, bring me the barbecue now!"

The shouts of the man in the black shirt echoed from the suite.

……

Outside the suite.

Hearing the relieved shout coming from inside the room, the man in the suit leaning against the door let out a long sigh of relief.

"Phew... does that mean it's done?" The man in the suit grinned, looking at Xiaobai and Veneto behind him.

"Yes, he will sign the contract," Xiaobai smiled.

"As expected of Sister Wei's family member, Miss, you...you're amazing!" The man in the suit was momentarily speechless with gratitude towards Xiaobai. He opened his mouth for a long time, and finally could only give Xiaobai a thumbs up. "I...I had no idea you were so proficient in phonetics! I...I'm bowing down to you!!!"

"It's not a sales pitch, I'm actually terrible at it." Xiaobai smiled and shook her head at the man in the suit.

Xiaobai is indeed not very good at speaking skills.

Rather, Xiaobai felt that if Missouri or Luo Lian had been in the same situation, they wouldn't have needed to waste so much time; they could have persuaded the man in the black shirt with just a few words.

The reason why Xiaobai was able to persuade the man in the black shirt to cooperate with Yuncheng's No.1 Security Company was, frankly speaking, because of her special abilities.

Xiaobai's network of admirals has an extremely powerful psychological comforting effect on ordinary people. As long as they are not the kind of people who have always been strongly hostile to them, once they are influenced by Xiaobai's network of admirals, their mood will become very calm, and they will be able to tell Xiaobai everything to a certain extent.

The moment Xiaobai saw the man in the black shirt in the room, she deleted the video of him acting shamelessly at the company in front of him. With this action, Xiaobai eased the man's hostility towards her, and then used her network of admirals to guide the man into a relatively peaceful state.

In a peaceful state, the variables caused by emotions will be minimized, and people will act based on their own interests to the greatest extent.

Xiao Bai merely explained the pros and cons of the collaboration to the man. The man wasn't stupid; he wouldn't refuse the collaboration request.

"Let's go back and continue eating barbecue," Xiaobai said with a smile to Veneto.

"Miss, what would you like to eat? I'll order for you right away!" The man in the suit beside her exclaimed as soon as he heard Xiaobai wanted to eat. "No, no, no, I'll go to the kitchen and get it for you! I'll bring you everything, please wait a moment, I'll be right there—"

After the man in the suit finished speaking, before Xiaobai could reply, he transformed into a gust of wind and dashed into the kitchen.

Xiaobai and Veneto exchanged a glance and smiled slightly.

"Admiral, thank you so much this time." Veneto nodded gratefully to Xiaobai. "With this contract of yours, I believe the company's future will be much better."

"It's nothing, just a small favor." Xiaobai waved his hand and smiled at Veneto, "Veneto, you really like this company, right?"

“It’s not a matter of liking or disliking. The employees in this company… at least call me ‘sister’…” Veneto lowered her head slightly. “Back when I was living in human society, I was very grateful to the people in this company for taking care of me, so now I want to help them in any way I can.”

"After all, it's the company that took care of my Veneto." Xiaobai hugged Veneto and rubbed her smooth cheek. "As the admiral, I should express my gratitude, right?"

“Admiral…” Veneto squinted one eye, his face slightly flushed.

Xiaobai and Veneto returned to their barbecue room.

A few minutes later, the man in the suit returned to the room pushing a cart full of barbecue, accompanied by other company employees who had been sleeping on the floor in the lobby.

"Sister Wei! I heard you have a baby!"

"Congratulations, Sister Wei!"

"Sister Wei, hahaha, wanna have a drink?"

"Sister Wei, even though you have two children, you will always be our eldest brother!"
