"Hello, CEO Jiang." Luna greeted him distantly. 

"Pfft." Si Yulin chuckled. "Little sister-in-law is too adorable." 

Luna raised an eyebrow. What did she call her? 

Jiang Xingyu shot a glare at Si Yulin and the latter shut up. He then looked at Luna. "Don't listen to her nonsense." 

Cheng Yu and Luna exchanged glances and merely smiled. Rumor had it that Si Yulin and Jiang Xingyu were close friends. It turned out to be true! After all, he seemed to have told her that he was pursuing Luna. 

"I see… my little brother Jiang here has not managed to win the beauty yet! How is that possible? Aren't you too slow?" 

"Yulin!" Jiang Xingyu roared. 

"Alright! I will not tease you anymore." She laughed, making Luna think that her views had been turned upside down. Who would have thought that the overbearing Si Yulin was actually so playful in private? 

Meanwhile, Cheng Yu wondered how they got so close. Some people were fond of shipping the two of them. After all, despite the age gap, Si Yulin was still very beautiful and elegant. She would be a perfect match with Jiang Xingyu. Luckily, their relationship was like that of siblings. 

Luna took out her laptop and the negotiation started. 

Si Yulin took a look at the program and cast a glance at Jiang Xingyu. "How about I let him deal with this?" 

Luna nodded in acknowledgement, but before he took a look, she sternly warned, "Do not deliberately pull strings for me." 

Jiang Xingyu raised an eyebrow curiously. "don't you want to snag the deal?" Wasn't her warning equal to telling him that she did not want to get it? 

Luna looked at him seriously. "I want to get the deal, but not because the big boss and I know each other on a personal level. It should be because my application qualifies to collaborate with Star Art International." 

At the side, Si Yulin leaned over to whisper to Cheng Yu, "No wonder Big Boss Jiang is so smitten with her. It turns out she is an ambitious young woman who keeps her private life and her business apart." 

Cheng Yu smiled and said nothing of it. She was part of the discussion too, so she did not gossip with Si Yulin too much. 

"Star Art International has its own software production team which has so far developed two comic apps. What makes you think that your app, Xiayu Comics, will stand out?" 

Luna launched the application on the laptop. "As you can see, navigating through the tabs is easy and smooth, the user interface is excellent and the comics can automatically be translated to whatever language the reader would like. Also…" 

Luna and Cheng Yu explained everything about the application fluently, impressing both Jiang Xingyu and Si Yulin. They did not find the need to hide any important points because this was Star Art International—they did not need to worry about anything. There were many cases about companies who rejected software only to pirate the idea and launch it secretly. However, they knew that neither Jiang Xingyu nor Si Yulin could do such a sneaky thing. 

In the end, the two of them discussed a little before Si Yulin turned to the girls. "Since you have such a complete idea, why do you still need to collaborate with a company? Why didn't you start your own app studio instead?" 

Luna glanced at Cheng Yu, who spoke up. "That's majorly because we lack adequate manpower and funds." 

"What if I help you start one?" Jiang Xingyu offered. "We can be partners, and I will provide manpower and funds. I can also help you steal… ahem… I mean, poach, a few comic artists from Star Arat International. In exchange, I will be a main shareholder. 

The girls exchanged looks. Was he really the boss of Star Art International? Instead of signing the deal that would benefit the company, he was instead helping outsiders use the company's resources? But then again, there was nothing to lose on his part. 

He would, on the contrary, gain profit from the app studio. 

Si Yulin cleared her throat. "President Jiang is right. You girls are in the wrong place. If you let Star Art International launch this application, you will only gain 40% of the income as the producers and Xiao Yu would gain 45% of the income earned by her comics. 

On the other hand, if the two of you launched it on your own, you would earn the full 100% and you can set up your own terms about the comics. Isn't that a better deal?" Maturally, she knew that the profit from one app was not enough to lure Jiang XIngyu. He was only grabbing this chance to work side by side with the beauty. Hence, she naturally helped him convince her. 

Luna could not come to a decision immediately. "My partner and I need some time to think about it." 

"Take your time." Si Yulin did not push it. 

Just like that, the collaboration that they had taken so much time to negotiate had somewhat turned into a different matter altogether. 

Si Yulin had another meeting to attend. However, Jiang Xingyu did not have any intention to leave her office. Realizing the situation, she sent him a wink and stood up. "Xiao Yu, why don't we have a little chat?" 

Cheng Yu's cheeks flushed as she figured out what Si Yulin was getting at. "Alright, CEO Si." 

When the two of them left, it was just Luna and Jiang Xingyu left. 

She stood up, preparing to flee but just as her hands connected with the doorknob, a bigger hand pressed onto the door and locked it. 

"What is that all about?" She turned to ask the man. 

"I missed you." As soon as his words were out, his lips pressed down on hers. He only stopped slightly to take a breath. "You look so alluring in suits. It makes me want to strip them off you."

"You better not." She warned. 

"Oh yeah? Watch me." His hand was under her skirt as soon as his words were out.
