While Shandao was looking at Xu Yiyu, Xu Yiyu was also carefully observing every subtle change in Shandao's facial expression.

Although this person may not know yet that Xu has destroyed his important plan, as long as he returns to the cave, he will definitely notice something unusual.

Humans are often good at camouflage, and this characteristic is extremely obvious in Xu Yiyu and Shandao.

Shandao's seemingly emotionless eyes were now filled with disguised kindness and smiles; and Xu Yiyu's eyes, which showed no sign of retreat, revealed a frank and sharp light.

Both of them had something to hide, but at the moment neither of them let the other see any clues from the surface.

A quiet atmosphere flowed between the two of them for a while. Shandao suddenly widened his smile and took the initiative to extend an olive branch to Xu Yiyu.

"Miss Xu, are you interested in cooperating with our Shandao family to expand your business in the island market?"

The cooperation intention was delivered somewhat suddenly, but Xu Yiyu was not overwhelmed by it. Instead, he smiled calmly, pretended to think for a few seconds, and then politely declined Shandao.

"Mr. Shandao, my group is just starting out, and it is time to take steady steps. Your family business has been rooted in the island country for a long time, and now is not a good time for cooperation. How about I first gain a foothold in my own country, and then discuss cooperation in detail?"

Xu Yiyu spoke beautifully. Although she declined politely, she did not make it absolute, leaving enough space and face for both parties.

However, only she herself knew that even if the Tianyu Group developed to the point where it enjoyed an international reputation in the future, she would not cooperate with a group like the Shandao Group whose leader had no humanity at all.

She is indeed a very career-oriented person, but she always carefully selects her partners.

"If there is nothing wrong with my ability to understand Chinese, what Ms. Xu meant just now is... rejection?"

"Mr. Shandao understands correctly. I do think that now is not the best time for the two groups to cooperate."

Xu Yiyu has always been a person who knows her limits and always leaves a way out for herself. As long as it doesn't involve issues of principle, she will always leave the other party a glimmer of hope and room for maneuver.

However, if the other party is unwilling to accept such an opportunity, she will naturally not be polite and will not hesitate to make the other party receive the punishment they deserve.

When he heard Xu Yiyu's definite answer, Shandao's eyes instantly became gloomy, and the smile that he had barely maintained on the corners of his mouth almost disappeared, replaced by a cold expression.

He stared at Xu Yiyu with deep eyes, and had already started to think about how to deal with this bold woman.

Shandao has always been decisive and ruthless in his way of doing things. To him, there are only two kinds of people: one is that they still have value and can be kept for the time being; the other is that they are useless and must be killed to ensure that the secrets are not leaked.

The woman in front of him seemed to be protected by the Chinese government, which made it impossible for him to take action against her for the time being.

"Ms. Xu, do you know what the consequences were for those who dared to reject me in the past?"

This sentence was almost an open threat, but Xu Yiyu's face did not show a trace of fear. Instead, he responded without blinking.

"I don't need to know the consequences for those people, and please understand, Mr. Shandao, if I hadn't returned home successfully from Yidali, your group might have suffered the same consequences."

Faced with such an island businessman who is not even a Chinese compatriot, although Xu does not want what she did in the cave to be exposed too quickly, she is not afraid of the threat from the mountain island.

After all, she is now a business person who has made a name for herself in public. If Shandao wants to touch her at this time, he must think about what will happen to him next.

Even if she used her knees to think, she knew that Shandao wanted to seek benefits from her Tianyu Group. But as the chairman of Tianyu, how could she allow such an insincere partner to get involved in Tianyu's business!

Xu Yiyu's attitude of not showing any weakness and not giving up an inch of territory did surprise Shandao a little.

Ever since he successfully took the position of the head of the family, everyone around him has been flattering him and obeying his orders, and those opponents who dared to challenge his authority are probably already dead and no longer have the ability to compete with him.

However, Shandao was a shrewd man after all. He quickly adjusted his emotions, and his breathing rhythm was only disordered for a moment, but he returned to normal with the help of the forbearance he had acquired over the years.

This kind of adaptability and psychological quality is also the key to his ability to sit firmly on the position of head of the family.

"To use your Chinese language, Miss Xu, you are indeed a courageous person, and I happen to admire such courageous people. And as long as such people don't stand in my way in the future, I don't mind coexisting peacefully with them."

Shandao's meaningful gaze fell gently on Xu Yiyu's face, like a poisonous snake spitting out its venom, giving the final warning to his prey.

"Perhaps Mr. Shandao doesn't know that we Chinese people have always believed in another saying - I won't offend others unless they offend me. If someone offends me, I will return it tenfold."

Xu Yiyu is no longer the rookie who had just entered the business world, but even at that stage, Shandao's verbal threats and bluffing could not have any substantial impact on her.

You respect me a foot, and I respect you a foot.

The truth contained in this sentence is so profound that even if Shandao knew its meaning, he would not be able to fully understand its profound meaning.

"Okay, although Miss Xu's words were reserved, I roughly understand. As long as we don't interfere with each other in the future, there will be no possibility of making things difficult for each other."

Shandao had a gentle smile on his face, as if he was a non-threatening person.

Xu Yiyu nodded slightly to show his agreement.

She knew that although Mr. Shandao pretended to be amiable on the surface, he was actually a shrewd, resourceful and ruthless man.

"Mr. Shandao and I are both businessmen. We both believe in honesty and harmony, so naturally we want all our partners to become friends."

Xu Yiyu responded with a smile.

She knows that in business, it is crucial to establish good partnerships.

Shandao looked at Xu Yiyu with admiration and sighed in his heart.

This young lady is not only outstanding in appearance, but also quick-witted and sharp-tongued. She is definitely worth making friends with.

Xu Yiyu looked at the ambitious man in front of him, who had gray hair but was still energetic. He explained his position clearly in a few words, but he did not show his aggressive side in front of him.

What if she faces such an old fox alone?

Xu Yiyu secretly told himself that he must stay calm and rational and not be fooled by the other party's appearance.

She must stick to her bottom line and principles in order to achieve her ultimate goal.

She, Xu, had seen too many old foxes in China before. Even if this one was the most malicious one, she would not be afraid at all.

How could a nation nurtured by such a great country as China be afraid of the petty intrigues of some mean people!

Hinata watched the two of them talking to each other from a few meters away, and listened to Xu Yi Yu's words to Shan Dao, which he thought were almost rude. He frowned several times during the process and felt frightened by Xu Yi Yu's remarks more than once.

He, Hinata Masatake, is not a timid person, nor is he someone who has never seen the world.

But Mr. Yamashima is a man who has the final say, is ruthless and ruthless both in the family and within the group. He can hardly imagine that there is someone in this world who dares not to take Mr. Yamashima seriously.

This big plan jointly planned and implemented by the Shandao family and the Ozawa family was largely led by Mr. Shandao who went to Yidali in person. Although the Ozawa family also sent people to assist in the completion of the plan, they could only be regarded as a helper at most.

"Ms. Xu, if I'm not mistaken, the gaze I felt before should not be yours?"

"Mr. Shandao, you must be joking. I had never even heard of your name before today, so how could I have spied on you in secret?"

Xu Yiyu lied in front of Shandao without changing his expression or feeling any guilt.

At this moment, she was so glad that she had accidentally ruined Shandao's good fortune.

If not for this, who knows how many more people would have lost their lives because of “good deeds”!
