Chapter 623: Chapter 623: Want to Conquer Her_1

Faced with such a situation, Xia Qingtian couldn’t just sit back and let it happen.

Sun, the executive who had tentatively agreed to a business partnership with her, had to travel overseas on a business trip due to some issues at his subsidiary. His return date was indefinite.

Xia Qingtian furrowed her brows. How could things be so coincidental?

They had been in good talks before, but at such a crucial time, Sun had to leave the country on a business trip. The worst part was that his return date was uncertain, and there was no telling when he would come back.

She tried making several calls, but the response was always the same.

This investment decision in the entertainment industry was significant and required Sun, the company’s president, to finalize the details personally. Without Sun’s return, the partnership negotiations were at a standstill.

As for when Sun would return, even he couldn’t be sure.

Xia Qingtian couldn’t shake the feeling that there was more to this than meets the eye.

However, with things being as they were, she had no other option. She had to hold up and wait for Sun’s return at the very least. She couldn’t let herself be easily defeated.

With that thought, Xia Qingtian summoned her courage.

She decided to return to her office first. But as she stepped outside the office building, suddenly...

A car, as if out of control, charged towards her. She was startled, but thankfully, the car stopped half a meter away from her.

Even though she wasn’t hit, Xia Qingtian’s heart was beating wildly.

The car door opened and a well-dressed Zhu Wei emerged from the vehicle. He feigned concern saying, "Are you okay? I didn’t see you just now..."

Xia Qingtian knew he was doing this intentionally.

The more fear and panic she showed, the happier and more satisfied Zhu Wei would be. Naturally, she wouldn’t give him the satisfaction.

She said calmly, "I’m fine!"

She was thankful that the shock of the car coming at her had rendered her stunned for a moment, preventing her from reacting in a way that would show any sign of fear.

Otherwise, Zhu Wei would feel even more smug now.

As expected, seeing her calm demeanor, Zhu Wei’s face revealed his disappointment.

Xia Qingtian didn’t miss the look on his face. Seeing him disappointed brought a sudden upturn in her mood and her racing heartbeat began to slow down.

She didn’t want to deal with Zhu Wei anymore.

In her eyes, Zhu Wei was nothing more than a clown. The more she paid attention to him, the more boisterous he became.

"However, we advise Zhu to be more careful when driving in the future. In foreign countries, the rule of law is in effect, and you will be held accountable for any accidents. Be careful not to land in jail."

After leaving a warning for Zhu Wei, she turned to leave.

Zhu Wei saw the situation developing differently than he had imagined, leaving him with no sense of accomplishment.

What’s more, he clearly felt that Xia Qingtian was treating him like a clown. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a deep sense of irritation. He didn’t want to let her leave so easily.

"Xia Qingtian..." he called out to her, obviously frustrated.

However, Xia Qingtian didn’t even pause. She just walked away as if she hadn’t heard him.

A flash of resentment appeared in Zhu Wei’s eyes as he followed her without any regard for his dignity.

Following behind Xia Qingtian, he said, "You know, you had already agreed on an investment deal with Sun. Do you know why his overseas subsidiary suddenly ran into troubles, forcing him to handle it personally overseas, and leaving him stranded without being able to return?"

Hearing his words, Xia Qingtian finally stopped as he wished.

Xia Qingtian’s cold gaze fell on Zhu Wei.

She asked coldly, "So, you’re behind all this?"

Her question was clearly an affirmation, indicating she was sure of his involvement. She was merely asking for confirmation.

Seeing that she had finally decided to engage with him, a satisfied expression appeared on Zhu Wei’s face.

"Yes, it was me," he admitted confidently. "So, are you going to continue fighting me? You’re no match for me!"

Xia Qingtian remained silent.

Zhu Wei looked even more satisfied. "So, are you going to admit defeat? If you are ready to surrender, once I take over your company, I can continue to develop it, otherwise..."

He chuckled coldly, hinting at a threat, "I will destroy all your hard work!"

Xia Qingtian returned his threat and provocation with defiance, "Dream on if you think I will admit defeat. If you want to bring me down, then try. Let’s see if you have what it takes."

Seeing her like this, a strong desire to conquer appeared in Zhu Wei’s eyes.

He was determined to win her over!

He wasn’t sure himself if his pursuit of Xia Qingtian was due to his fondness for her, or simply because her defiance provoked his masculine ego.

The harder it was to attain, the more he desired her.

Either way, obtaining Xia Qingtian and conquering her had become an obsession for him.

Zhu Wei stared at her intently, "Okay, don’t come crying to me then."

Xia Qingtian didn’t respond but left him with a disdainful glance.

She then took out her car keys, opened the car door, and drove away.

Zhu Wei stood there, watching her car disappear from his sight, a playful smile creeping onto his face.

Subsequently, he took out his phone and made a call.

"Double your efforts. Take over Star Entertainment as soon as possible, no matter the cost!"

After giving his order, he put away his phone, mumbling towards the direction Xia Qingtian left, "Xia Qingtian, no matter how stubborn you are, I will make you mine!"

...

On the other side.

Xia Qingtian had no idea that Zhu Wei was daydreaming about her.

Even if she knew, she wouldn’t care.

She knew Zhu Wei would intensify his attacks on her company. Her sole focus now was to defend her company and hold out until Sun’s return, at any cost.

She couldn’t let Zhu Wei succeed.

While Xia Qingtian managed to ward off external attacks, Zhu Wei seemed to have gone mad. He put everything into undermining her, spending heavily to poach her staff.

In her company, there were not only artists but also agents and mid-to-high-level executives. Many of them were lured away with generous offers.

For the artists who’d signed contracts, breaching them would require paying a huge penalty.

No problem!

Zhu Wei was willing to pay!

Moreover, he would provide generous resources.

As for the agents and executives, they were given lavish salaries.

In a short time, more than half of her staff had left the company, transforming what was once a promising company into an empty shell in less than a month.
