"Miss Li, if there's nothing else, then I'll hang up..."

Seeing that Li Enhui had been beating around the bush for quite a while without getting to the point, Qin Fang no longer had the patience to waste time with her; their relationship was not that good.

Qin Fang didn't believe that just because Li Enhui had chatted with him for a few minutes, she would abandon her exploitative plan...

And now Li Enhui was clearly evading the main issue, showing no sincerity at all, which made Qin Fang even less willing to waste words with her...

"Stingy man!"

Maybe Qin Fang didn't know that just as he said this, Li Enhui on the other end of the phone was also slightly startled, then muttered to herself indignantly.

However, she was ultimately a strong businesswoman. She quickly adjusted her mentality and began to address the main issue. "Mr. Qin, let's get back on track. I wonder if you have time tonight, I want to discuss the agreement with you..."

Just as Qin Fang had guessed, in the end, she came for the set of technologies that Qin Fang held in his hands...

She had been keeping a close watch on Ninghai, especially Qin Fang's laboratory, to which she had gathered a lot of information and even bribed an indecisive researcher, hoping to obtain that technology at the least possible cost.

Compared to Japan, her methods were certainly much gentler; even if Qin Fang found out, at most he would just laugh it off and not react as harshly as he did with the Japanese.

The problem was that, despite her efforts, she came up empty-handed... Because the researchers in the lab worked on individual projects, even if all their data were collected, it was impossible to fully reconstruct the complete set of technologies. This was mainly because the most critical parts of the technology were in the hands of Qin Fang himself and the head of the laboratory, Lin Hai.

Recently, Chu Yunxuan took over Qin Fang's laboratory, took away all these researchers and technical data, and set up a new R&D department, causing Li Enhui's initial investment to vanish into thin air, ending up with nothing.

During Qin Fang's stay in Capital City, it was the most critical period for her efforts, but unfortunately, she still failed in the end, which delayed her some time.

And now, she had no choice but to face negotiations with Qin Fang... After all, the sooner she got the technology, the sooner she could produce the products, and the faster she could defeat all her competitors and capture a larger market share.

"Tonight? No problem... Then let's do it tonight! You decide the time and place..."

Qin Fang didn't know whether Li Enhui was aware that he was returning to Ninghai the next day, but she chose a date that was very suitable, so he certainly wouldn't refuse.

"Six in the evening, at Sanlitun's Han River Barbecue... Don't be late!"

Li Enhui didn't hesitate to provide a specific time and place, but the location she chose for the negotiation made Qin Fang quite frustrated, yet he accepted it willingly.

In Dragon Country, business meals and the like are usually conducted in more formal settings, such as hotels and restaurants... At the very least, they are held in some decent dining establishments.

But this Korean beauty chose Han River Barbecue, a place whose name alone made Qin Fang feel like it might be a street stall.

Qin Fang wasn't looking down on street stalls; on the contrary, he preferred them compared to hotels and restaurants. The issue was that he was about to discuss a business deal worth hundreds of millions with this Korean beauty at a street stall... which was just too speechless.

Otherwise, when the two of them haggled over tens of millions or even hundreds of millions, the people eating nearby might think they were lunatics.

This made Qin Fang recall a joke he once heard: Someone on a bus was on the phone, started with, "I made a deal yesterday, flipped it and made five million, I'll lend you two million to spend..." Poorly, an old lady sitting nearby got quite frightened hearing these numbers, and upon looking at the caller, who seemed to be only fifteen or sixteen and wearing a middle school uniform...

It turned out the millions he was talking about weren't in RMB, but in-game currency from an online game, the kind you can buy hundreds of thousands for one yuan...

Of course, Qin Fang and Li Enhui would definitely not settle in game currency, but talking in such a place inevitably leads to being overheard by the people around.

Regardless, since she had already set the time and place, Qin Fang couldn't really object. After a brief rest at Chang'an Club, he set off early and drove to the destination.

Sanlitun is a well-known area in Capital City, famous for its many bars, frequented by expatriates living in Capital City and domestic celebrities and tycoons.

At dusk, the place is ablaze with lights and bustling with people, a lavish display of the big city's prosperity and extravagance.

Before coming to Capital City, Qin Fang had long heard of it, but he wasn't very fond of bars. With all sorts of matters to attend to since arriving, he naturally didn't have the chance to come and experience it.

To the north of Bar Street is the embassy area, where a substantial number of foreigners come every day, especially at night. Groups of foreigners visit, as bars are one of the best places for romance.

Of course, many Dragon Country people also like to bring their friends and clients here to play, or to discuss business, partnership, and so on...

So when Li Enhui chose this place, Qin Fang wasn't particularly surprised, except that it wasn't some bar he was going to, but rather Han River Barbecue that truly astounded him.

Only when Qin Fang arrived and found this Han River Barbecue did he realize he had misunderstood... because Han River Barbecue wasn't actually a roadside barbecue stand, but also a bar, and one with a Korean flair at that.

Stepping into Han River Barbecue and not even a few steps in, he saw Li Enhui approaching, a vision of beauty with sunglasses on... the Korean beauty was simply arresting.

It had to be said that Li Enhui was indeed a stunner, with flawless looks and figure. Despite Korea's reputation for prolific plastic surgery, Qin Fang easily discerned that Li Enhui's beauty was all natural, without a trace of cosmetic correction...

Of course, that was only as far as Qin Fang's eyes could see... As for the unseen places, like whether those at least C+ mounds of anger had any fillers, that was beyond Qin Fang's knowledge.

"Mr. Qin, you've arrived a bit early..."

Li Enhui glanced at the limited edition Patek Philippe on her wrist and slightly furrowed her brows, then reverted to a smile and spoke.

"I was free and thought I'd come over to check out the place..."

Qin Fang did indeed arrive early. They had agreed to meet at six o'clock, but he had taken the opportunity to experience just how lively and bustling Sanlitun's bar street was, and so he had come a bit sooner... by an hour, that is.

"Oh, is that so? Mr. Qin, I still have some matters to attend to, I'm afraid..."

Li Enhui hesitated, a hint of embarrassment on her face, as if she truly had some business to take care of.

"No problem, you can go ahead with your things, it's not yet our appointed time..."

Qin Fang shrugged indifferently.

"I'm really sorry..."

Li Enhui bowed apologetically to Qin Fang and then, clutching her bag, was about to leave. However, after just a couple of steps, she seemed to suddenly remember something and quickly turned back, "Mr. Qin, if you're not too busy, could you keep me company for a while?"

"Er... I'd be delighted!"

Qin Fang was slightly taken aback but seeing Li Enhui's unusually sincere expression, nodded in agreement.

"Thank you..."

The smile on Li Enhui's face blossomed instantly, and she gently took Qin Fang's arm, walking out with him.

Although Qin Fang had quite an opinion about Koreans and Japanese, it was undeniable that the women from these two countries seemed to be much gentler than the women of Dragon Country nowadays...

Perhaps this was also related to the attitude these countries had towards women. Women were traditionally seen as men's accessories; it's said that Japanese women have a very low status in front of men, and Korean women weren't much better off.

Dragon Country's women had been thoroughly liberated, with the notion that "women could hold up half the sky," abruptly raising women's status to equal with men, and in most cases, even higher... At least women have International Women's Day, whereas men have no such celebration!

This isn't to say that it's bad, but such comparison made the disparity in treatment towards men all too clear.

At least Qin Fang now had a clear sense of this. Although Li Enhui was a strong, independent woman, at this moment, she appeared to be nothing more than a simple, demure girl. Her tender and enchanting demeanor was likely too much for any man to resist...

"Miss Li, where are we going? At least, you should give me a heads up..."

Qin Fang's resolve was strong enough; he had seen plenty of beautiful women, and his immunity had increased quite a bit. It was only when he noticed Li Enhui leading him out, neither driving nor taking a car, just walking onward, that he couldn't help but ask.

"It's not far ahead, we'll be there soon..."

Li Enhui smiled coquettishly in a very ladylike manner, and then leisurely continued.

Indeed, as Li Enhui had said, they walked forward for about a hundred meters and then stopped in front of a building. Li Enhui whispered, "We're here."

Only then did Qin Fang look up at the three-story building. Such an edifice in the Capital City was quite inconspicuous, but Qin Fang noticed the plaque on the door and was momentarily stunned.

"Martial Arts Hall?"

The characters were written in both Chinese and Korean, denoting a martial arts hall... more precisely, a taekwondo dojang. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for it on Qidian, your support is my greatest motivation.)
