Chapter 2685
Leading his team to Jade City, Fade just got off the plane.
Sasha Li, the president of Li Group, the largest company in Jade City, was waiting outside with a group of people.
"Why are you here?" He looked at her.
After more than two years of training, the wilful young lady had become much more mature.
She was dressed in a professional suit with her hair tied up in a low bun. Her face looked slightly serious with her black framed glasses. All these made her look less childish and arrogant than she used to be. She appeared to be much more mature and intellectual now.
Facing him, she was very respectful. She bowed to him and said, "Mr. Chen, it's been a while since you came to Jade City. Of course I have to welcome you in person." "I have arranged a hotel for your stay. You may all head there for a rest immediately," she continued.
He glanced at the tired faces of the team members behind him and nodded. "Okay, well follow you."
"Alright!"
Sasha immediately arranged the transportation for everyone. Then, she made herself the personal driver for Fade and started the car. "Mr. Chen, are you here for something important?" She asked.
The negotiation was not a secret, so he did not bother to hide it. "I am the leader for the negotiation with all the foreign martial arts organizations." She said, "I have heard about that. Mr. Chen, you're so powerful. You have defeated all the foreign martial artists. Everyone says that you're the best martial artist of our generation."
"Come now, stop flattering me. Get straight to the point!" He waved his hand.
She stuck out her tongue awkwardly, finally showing some of her liveliness again.
"Well, actually when we heard that you are coming to Jade City, my father and a few other businessmen decided to hold a banquet. They would like to invite you to the event."
"A banquet? What for?" He asked.
"Nothing specific. It's just so that everyone can get to know each other. In recent years, Jade City has changed quite a bit and so has Li Group. However, there are still plenty of newly established companies that are pretty influential here, so..."
"I don't think..." He wanted to refuse. After all, he was not interested in this kind of event.
However, he suddenly recalled that some economic experts in the negotiation team had once told him that it would not be an easy task to request compensation from the foreign martial artists in the upcoming negotiation. Things would definitely go much smoother if he had a professional by his
side.
Thinking of this, it wasn't such a bad idea to make acquaintances with some of the local businessmen and associations.
Thus, Fade changed his mind and asked, "When is the banquet?"
"That's up to you, Mr. Chen."
He then replied, "Let's do it tonight then."
"Tonight! Okay, I'll inform my dad right away!" Sasha's face lit up with joy. She immediately put on her earphones and called her father, Martin, to settle the matter.
Meanwhile, the negotiation team had checked in to the hotel that Sasha had booked.
After washing up, Fade brought the economic experts from his team along to attend Martin's banquet.
The banquet was nothing special. As usual, Martin took him around and introduced him to all the guests. His duty was merely to keep the conversation going.
Anyhow, with Fade's identity and status, he didn't really have to propose toasts.
All he needed to do was to stand there, and people would approach him to toast him.
As for the financial issues, it was mostly handled by the experts.
After a hearty night of chatter, everyone took a group picture. Then, the banquet ended on a high note.
Fade was ready to return to the hotel, but Martin suddenly approached him with a mysterious look on his face. "Mr. Chen, are you leaving?"
Fade nodded. "Yes, it's getting late. Is there anything else?"
Martin rubbed his hands together and smiled. "Mr. Chen, there are rooms here You don't need to trouble yourself. I've already

arranged everything so you can just head up to rest." "That's alright. I'd rather go back to the hotel. It's not far away so there's no need to trouble you." Fade waved his hand and rejected.
Martin hastily persuaded, "Mr. Chen, it's really no trouble. Everything is ready. The room card is right here!"
As he spoke, he handed a room card
to Fade. Seeing how persistent he was, Fade took the room card and said 'Okay, I'll stay here for the night."
"Have a good rest, Mr. Chen!" Martin smiled.

Fade then went upstairs, straight to his presidential suite, and swiped his card to open the door.
After taking off his shoes and coat, he prepared to take a shower before going to bed.
Just as he was about to go over, the bathroom door opened and a young beautiful woman came out of the bathroom, wrapped in a bathrobe. Taking a closer look, he noticed that the beauty was none other than Sasha.
"Sasha, why are you here?" Fade was startled.
She tugged on her bath towel and looked at him with glittering eyes as she said softly, "I'm here to help you rest, Mr. Chen."
He frowned. He finally understood why Martin had insisted on keeping him here. It was because his daughter was waiting for him in the room. "I can rest alone. I don't need you to accompany me," he rejected.
She lowered her head slightly, bit her lip, and spoke with a slightly aggrieved look, "Mr. Chen, are you still blaming me for what happened?"
He said discontentedly, "Don't overthink things. It was not a big deal. I've long forgotten about it."
"Then, am I not beautiful enough for you to like me?"
He shook his head. "You are beautiful and you look great. It has nothing to do with you. I'm married."
"I know!" Sasha said, "I don't want to be your wife, Mr. Chen. I only want to be with you. Even if it's just this once."
He did not expect her to be so straightforward. For a moment, he was left speechless.
Seeing this, she loosened her grasp on her bathrobe. Immediately, it fell off.
She held him in her arms. "Mr. Chen, please give me a chance. Just one night, okay?"
Admittedly, she was gorgeous. Both her face and figure were very attractive.
However, right at that moment, he wasn't enticed at all. He pulled her bathrobe back on, then pushed her out of his room. With a slam he shut
the door and locked it.
Sitting on the bed, he let out a long sigh and frowned as he pondered on this matter.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
