"Hahaha, let me introduce myself first, my name is Sima Zhan, those who show respect usually call me Sima Third Master!"

The middle-aged man awkwardly withdrew his hand, a shadow of gloom flashing in his eyes, then sat down across from the three women, including Su Shiqi.

"Let's get down to business then!"

Su Shiqi smiled slightly, stared at Sima Zhan across from her, and spoke without offering him the courtesy of calling him Sima Third Master.

Since she knew his intentions weren't good, why bother with such formalities?

"Very good, I've long heard that the female CEO of the Su Group in Nanjiang City is quite decisive. I've finally witnessed it today!"

Sima Third Master chuckled, holding a cigar, took a deep drag, and then snapped his fingers!

After that, two bodyguards in black suits behind Sima Third Master picked up two silver briefcases and placed them in front of the three women, opening them directly in their presence!

"This is a gift from our Third Master, and we hope President Su will accept it!"

One of the bodyguards with a scar on his face said to Su Shiqi after opening the case.

US dollars!

The two briefcases were filled with US dollars.

At a rough estimate, there were about three million US dollars!

"Oh? While I do enjoy making money, I generally steer clear of money with unclear origins!"

Su Shiqi just glanced at the money indifferently, and her exquisite face showed no change in expression.

It's not that Su Shiqi was pretending to be aloof, but that the money in front of her wasn't substantial enough to catch her eye!

These days, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she practically controls over half of the business in the entire Jiang Province.

Were a mere few million US dollars supposed to move her?

They really underestimated her, thinking she was still that little girl from the past?

"President Su, are you suggesting the money my Sima Third Master brought isn't clean?"

Sima Zhan, listening to Su Shiqi's words, took a hard drag on his cigar and rudely blew the thick smoke toward Su Shiqi sitting across from him!

This action was extremely impolite, even somewhat offensive.

It's common knowledge, even among ordinary people, not to blow smoke at others while smoking, let alone for a family as influential as the Sima family!

"Heh, you said that yourself, I didn't say it!"

Xiao Mei and Dan Taiqing saw this, and just as they were about to act, they heard Su Shiqi snort coldly. Without any visible movement, the smoke in front of her blew back towards Sima Zhan, covering his face!

Seeing Su Shiqi's casual display, even Xiao Mei and Dan Taiqing were slightly stunned, then remembered that Su Shiqi wasn't just an ordinary strongwoman; she was a cultivator as well.

And with prior guidance from Bai Xiaofan, although her cultivation level wasn't as formidable as Xiao Mei and Dan Taiqing, she was a late Nascent Soul stage cultivator.

With such cultivation, in the mortal world, she was already a top-notch expert, so why would she care about someone like Sima Zhan?

At the moment they entered the room, Xiao Mei and Dan Taiqing had already noticed that this Sima Zhan was also a cultivator, but his cultivation wasn't high, only at the mid Golden Core stage!

And the two bodyguards in black behind him were about the same level, all at the Golden Core stage.

"You're courting death!"

The scar-faced bodyguard, seeing Su Shiqi's actions, after a brief moment of surprise, shouted harshly, stepped forward, and a knife appeared in his hand, stabbing towards Su Shiqi without hesitation!

"Stop!"

Faced with the sudden action of the bodyguard, before the three women could respond, Sima Zhan's loud voice stopped him first!

"What are you doing? These are my invited guests, is this how you treat guests?"

Immediately, Sima Zhan turned and loudly reprimanded the scar-faced bodyguard, then turned and looked at Su Shiqi, apologizing as he spoke.

"President Su, actually, I invited you this time mainly to represent the intentions of our Sima family. Our Sima family has taken a liking to a piece of your company's land, and we're wondering if we could collaborate?"

Sima Zhan's eyes narrowed slightly, with a warm smile on his face. He pushed the two boxes forward, "These are just a bit of the deposit, if we successfully sign the contract, there will be another five million US dollars!"

Listening to Sima Zhan, Su Shiqi slightly furrowed her elegant brows, unable to figure out what he wanted.

Since the last time Bai Xiaofan killed Sima Changkong, she had investigated in the dark and knew that Sima Changkong's father was this very Sima Zhan!

Moreover, Sima Zhan seemed to have only this one son, whom he doted on a lot. Due to his limited talent and difficulty advancing in cultivation, he even begged his father for many pills for Sima Changkong.

It could be said that Sima Changkong was very important to Sima Zhan.

And knowing that his son was killed by Bai Xiaofan, and she was Bai Xiaofan's woman, why wouldn't he mention revenge, but instead come to talk business?

"I'm really sorry, but all business affairs of the Su Group are not decided by me. Although I'm the nominal CEO, I'm working for someone else. This matter needs to wait for my boss's decision before I can make a call!"

Regardless, Su Shiqi decided not to cooperate with him, who knew if he had some scheme behind this.

Moreover, cooperating with the Sima family now felt somewhat like asking a tiger for its skin.

In Bai Xiaofan's absence, Su Shiqi and He Miaor had already discussed not making the business too big, just enough would do.

After all, she practically had the final say in business across Jiang Province, and they had their own business in the Capital City as well.

"Oh? President Su has a boss behind her? May I know who they are? Could President Su introduce them to us?"

Hearing Su Shiqi's words, Sima Zhan seemed not the least bit surprised and asked with a smile.

"This also needs to await my consultation with the boss before I can agree. My boss has a rather peculiar temper and likes to hit people without warning, so I dare not presume to decide!"

Su Shiqi answered naturally, without any hesitation, as if she had already come up with all these responses before arriving.

"That's very unfortunate, but never mind, let's just have lunch then!" Sima Zhan said.

"No need, we sisters still have things to do, so we won't disturb you any longer!"

Su Shiqi shook her head, stood up, and left the room with Xiao Mei and Dan Taiqing!

After the three women left, Sima Zhan's expression gradually darkened, nearly stormy, anyone could tell at a glance that he was on the verge of rampant rage!
