Chapter 460: Chapter 460

Chenyang’s words were not just an acceptance of Sister Rose’s challenge, but also a response to the deal she had proposed earlier.

Sister Rose had previously offered two ways to make the deal.

One was a million for a secret, plus one night with her.

The second was, if Chenyang didn’t trust her, he could ask for more money on top of the million.

Given his current situation, Chenyang had originally wanted to choose the second option.

He wasn’t short on women, and compared to the night of passion Sister Rose could offer, the money was more important.

However, after seeing the methods and capabilities Sister Rose displayed while dealing with the Lin Jiji situation, he suddenly changed his mind.

Because Sister Rose was more formidable in every aspect than he had imagined.

’A woman like that... it’s better to be on her good side than to offend her.’

Besides, when she proposed the second option, Sister Rose had specifically mentioned that while the million would be easy to get, the extra money wouldn’t be so easy for Chenyang to take.

This meant that if Chenyang chose the second option, he would very likely face some trouble and obstacles created by Sister Rose.

Chenyang didn’t want to make an enemy of a woman who was both beautiful and capable!

’It’s not that I’m scared, it’s just unnecessary!’

After all, even though they weren’t in the same industry, they were bound to run into each other again sooner or later!

If he accidentally gave her some leverage over him in the future, Chenyang would be in for a world of hurt.

So, rather than leaving a potential hidden danger, he might as well quit while he was ahead.

He was definitely going to earn that million for a secret.

As for whether he could actually pin Sister Rose beneath him, Chenyang hadn’t given it much thought.

’If I can, all the better.’

After all, no man could refuse such a beautiful and unique woman.

’And if I can’t, it doesn’t matter.’

Sister Rose understood Chenyang’s unspoken meaning. She smiled and nodded. "I can wash up and await your grand arrival anytime. As for you, don’t you dare disappoint me when the time comes."

Chenyang’s lips curved upward. "I’m a man who never disappoints a woman!"

"Then I’ll be waiting with anticipation."

Sister Rose gave a charming smile, then looked at Liu Yue. "Contact me after you’ve handled things here."

"Yes, Sister Rose."

Liu Yue seemed a little emotional. She had thought that after betraying Lin Jiji, Sister Rose would definitely ignore her and never give her a chance to return and advance in the company.

But Sister Rose’s words just now dispelled all her worries.

’Since she told me to contact her, it must mean that she doesn’t see me as an enemy, or as someone who made a mistake!’

"Doctor Chen, I’ll send you the room number later. Remember to come early. You can’t keep a girl waiting too long."

Sister Rose gave Chenyang a bewitching smile, then strode toward the exit on her long, fair legs.

The entire time, she didn’t look at Lin Jiji, nor did she pay any more attention to the reporters.

It was as if nothing here had anything to do with her anymore, and as if she wasn’t the least bit afraid of any negative impact the reporters could have on her.

The reporters, for their part, all looked completely unfazed by this.

Other people in the entertainment industry had to greet reporters with a smile even if their wife was cheating or their husband had hung himself, because the slightest bit of dirt these reporters could dig up was enough to give them a massive headache.

But Sister Rose was an anomaly in the industry.

To put it bluntly, she had already risen above the industry. Not only was she no longer bound by its many rules, she was even qualified to set them!

Watching her retreating figure, Chenyang narrowed his eyes. "What a terrifying woman!"

Liu Yue’s expression was grave. "To be precise, she’s a terrifying queen!"

"Look at you cowards," Yan Rongrong said with disdain. "We’re all just people. At most, she’s just a bit prettier than us and has met more people and been through more things. How terrifying can she be!"

"General Manager Yan, in Yang City, you have the capital to look down on her. But outside of it... to put it bluntly, you really can’t compare to her."

Yan Rongrong retorted indignantly, "How can’t I compare? In terms of looks, I’m not that far behind her. As for my figure... I still have room to develop, while she’s already going downhill. And when it comes to background and assets, I’ll be blunt, I don’t think I’m weaker or have less than her!"

"Your background is in politics, but hers spans politics, business, and entertainment. As for assets... her net worth is conservatively estimated to be in the eight figures."

Yan Rongrong was stunned. "Eigh... eight figures?! A manager can make that much money?"

Liu Yue smiled. "Of course not just by being a manager. But Sister Rose has been in the industry for so many years that she’s long been far from ordinary. When other people are managers, that’s all they are. When she acts as a manager, it’s purely because she enjoys the profession.

In reality, she’s become what ordinary people call ’capital.’ She has dabbled in businesses across all sorts of industries, and she’s used her network of contacts to do very well in every one. It’s no exaggeration to say that even our company’s boss has been relying on her for business for the past two years."

Hearing this, Chenyang’s expression grew complex. "So that must be the main reason she’s not afraid of Lin Jiji’s threats of revenge, or of the company causing her trouble, right?"

"Yes." Liu Yue nodded and looked at Yan Rongrong. "An eight-figure net worth might not be as much as yours, but she earned every single penny of it herself."
