Chapter 86: Chapter 86

Wang Mengmeng swallowed hard, thinking weakly to herself, "A million? This guy is actually so rich? To easily make so much money with just a project?"

Thinking about herself, she felt her face go red with embarrassment at having just indignantly claimed she would pay him fifty or even a hundred thousand for medical expenses.

If it wasn’t for this strange illness, which the big hospitals couldn’t cure, she wouldn’t be here begging Zhang Xiaohao.

Pausing for a moment, Wang Mengmeng tried to calm her agitated heart.

"What do you want? What will it take for you to help me?" Wang Mengmeng asked.

"You’re not too stupid. It’s not impossible for me to help you, but you have to agree to a condition," Zhang Xiaohao said without hesitation.

He had considered this the moment Wang Mengmeng had arrived.

Now, the medicinal materials had been purchased, and the sales channels were ready.

Once the skincare tonic was prepared, it would be the day it went on sale at the Paris Spring.

There’s an unwritten rule in the cosmetics industry: when a new product launches, it must have an endorser.

Given Bai Xue Cosmetics Company’s current financial situation, affording those popular top-tier female stars as endorsers would be piling on to Bai Xue Company’s troubles. The sky-high endorsement fees alone would probably make Su Ruobai and Cheng Tianxue refuse.

Initially, Zhang Xiaohao had thought about packaging Lin Xiaowen and letting her do the endorsement. After all, she was an employee of the company and it wouldn’t cost extra.

But now that he had the even more appealing option of Wang Mengmeng, Zhang Xiaohao naturally shifted his attention to her.

"What condition? Tell me about it," Wang Mengmeng said, intrigued.

"I want you, for one year, to follow my orders unconditionally and endorse the cosmetics produced by Bai Xue Company. If you agree, we’ll sign a contract and after it’s signed, I’ll treat your ailment. If you don’t agree, I’m sorry! I’m really busy and will have the security escort you out," Zhang Xiaohao demanded.

"Don’t even think about it!" Wang Mengmeng stood up abruptly and said furiously.

"You’d better think this through! Right now, it’s just some minor problems. If your menstruation becomes irregular and the acupoints and meridians deteriorate, it’ll spread throughout your body. Even if you beg me then, I won’t be able to cure you! Besides, isn’t it just a year of being a promotional worker for me? I’m not asking you to accompany me for meals. Compared to your life, this is a great deal for you," Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

"You..." Wang Mengmeng pointed at Zhang Xiaohao, at a loss for words.

"Secretary Lin, call the security here, tell them there’s a crazy woman here and to kick her out!" Zhang Xiaohao ordered.

"Right away, Mr. Zhang!" Lin Xiaowen responded and was about to call security.

"Wait a minute!" Seeing this, Wang Mengmeng quickly spoke up.

"What else is there to say?" Zhang Xiaohao said indifferently.

"I... I’ll agree, okay?" Wang Mengmeng said weakly.

"Secretary Lin, go prepare a contract for me, with the content as I’ve just outlined," Zhang Xiaohao instructed.

"Right away, Mr. Zhang." Lin Xiaowen responded proudly and walked out.

With the matter settled, Zhang Xiaohao tossed the finished milk tea into the trash can and casually turned off his computer.

If he didn’t switch it off now and kept watching, with such a stunning beauty in front of him, Zhang Xiaohao couldn’t guarantee he wouldn’t do something else later.

Soon, Lin Xiaowen came in with a well-prepared contract.

Laying the contract in front of Wang Mengmeng, Lin Xiaowen said, "Miss Wang, sign it!"

"Hmph!" Knowing her current plight, Wang Mengmeng realized she had to sign the contract to get Zhang Xiaohao’s help. She picked up the pen, didn’t even look at it, and signed her name immediately, then stamped her thumbprint.

All set, Wang Mengmeng threw the contract over with a cold face.

"Are you satisfied now?" Wang Mengmeng asked.

Zhang Xiaohao glanced at the contract, then ordered, "Secretary Lin, step out for now, and remember to close the door. Without my orders, no one is allowed to disturb me."

"Right away, Mr. Zhang!" Lin Xiaowen replied with a dissatisfied pout and closed the office door.

"Come in here!" Zhang Xiaohao said and then turned to enter the inner rest room.

"If I have to, I’ll go in. Am I scared of you?" Wang Mengmeng grumbled and followed into the rest room.

Zhang Xiaohao shut the door behind him and walked toward Lin Xiaowen.

"What are you doing? I warn you, I perform but don’t sell my body!" Wang Mengmeng took a step back in protest.

"Get your mind out of the gutter, I’m not interested in you!" Zhang Xiaohao said seriously.

But inside, he was secretly laughing, filled with anticipation, his eyes betraying a fiery gleam.

"What do you want? You bastard, I’m telling you, I won’t agree to your demands, so get that out of your mind!" Wang Mengmeng said.

"Miss, are you perhaps thinking too much? With a figure like yours, having nothing to show, do you think I would fancy you? Don’t flatter yourself, okay? I’m here to treat you! Acupuncture, understand? How can I acupuncture you without you undressing? Besides, I’m a doctor now, and you’re the patient. You need to trust my medical ethics. I won’t be taking advantage of you," Zhang Xiaohao said earnestly.

"Are you telling the truth? You’re not deceiving me?" Wang Mengmeng asked suspiciously, arms folded across her chest.

"What do you think? There are so many beauties in my company, any one of them is no worse than you, so don’t think too much about it," Zhang Xiaohao urged.

"Hmph! If you dare to mess with me, I’ll fight you to the death!" Wang Mengmeng threatened fiercely.

She commanded with a cool demeanor, "Turn around!"

"I’m observing your condition right now, have you heard of the ’four diagnostics’ in traditional Chinese medicine? I’m using ’inspection’ to assess your illness, so don’t interrupt me. Right now, I’m the doctor."

"If you dare lie to me, I’ll kill you!" Throwing down a harsh threat, Wang Mengmeng steeled herself. This update ıs available on 𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹•𝕗𝕚𝕣𝕖•𝗇𝗲𝘁

She hypnotized herself, repeating in her heart, he’s a doctor, he’s a doctor, he’s a doctor...

With these thoughts, the pressure in her heart lightened considerably...

"Heh, this is definitely worth it, I’ve hit the jackpot!" Zhang Xiaohao chuckled to himself, skillfully hiding the fervent gleam in his eyes and feeling very pleased inwardly.

Completely oblivious to it.

"Can we begin now?" Wang Mengmeng asked in a low, barely audible voice, her head bowed shyly, and hugging herself.
