Chapter 289 It’s better to have friends around
"Yang Cheng, I heard that your performance on some projects was not as good as expected." Hei Hu's voice sounded coldly, making Yang Cheng's heart sink suddenly.
"This... I will improve it." Yang Cheng forced himself to respond calmly, but a panic surged in his heart.
"Improve?" The corners of Hei Hu's mouth curled up slightly, revealing a hint of disdain. "If you can't deliver results that satisfy me, perhaps I should reconsider our cooperation."
Yang Cheng's heart tightened, and he felt an invisible pressure. He knew that Hei Hu was not someone who would let others go easily, and he had to find a way to turn the situation around.
"I will do my best, Black Tiger." Yang Cheng tried to make his voice sound firm, although he was still trembling in his heart.
"I hope so." Hei Hu's gaze was like a knife, piercing deeply into Yang Cheng.
Yang Cheng's mind reverberated with Hei Hu's words, and he felt a mix of invisible pressure and urgency. He realized that Hei Hu wasn't going to let him off easily, and he had to redouble his efforts to find a way out.
"I can't let Hei Hu lose confidence in me." Yang Cheng thought to himself, and a sense of urgency surged in his heart again.
He decided to study Hei Hu's personality and preferences in more depth, trying to find the factors that could impress him. In the following days, Yang Cheng continued to communicate with Hei Hu, trying to find the right opportunity.
However, Black Tiger's attitude seemed to be getting colder, which put more pressure on Yang Cheng. He felt an invisible sense of crisis approaching, as if every contact was a dangerous game.
"I need to find a breakthrough." Yang Cheng thought repeatedly in his mind, "Only by finding the Black Tiger's weakness can I take the initiative in this battle."
At this moment, the young man sent another message: "We must speed up the plan. Black Tiger's trust in you is weakening."
"I understand." Yang Cheng gritted his teeth, a sense of urgency building within him. He knew he had to take more decisive action to break the current deadlock.
"I need to find Black Tiger's weakness." Yang Cheng kept thinking in his mind, trying to find a breakthrough. At this moment, his heart was filled with anxiety and uneasiness, as if every second was a race against time.
After a few days of observation and reflection, Yang Cheng finally noticed the subtle relationship between Hei Hu and a certain woman. Whenever Hei Hu mentioned this woman, his expression would become particularly complicated, as if he was hiding some secret.
"Maybe I can take advantage of this opportunity." Yang Cheng thought to himself, with a cunning glint in his eyes.
At a cocktail party, Yang Cheng deliberately mentioned the woman's name to observe Hei Hu's reaction. "I heard you have a good relationship with Xiao Hua," he said tentatively, secretly expecting something.
Hei Hu's expression changed instantly, and a hint of anxiety and anger flashed in his eyes. "What are you talking about?"
"I just think your cooperation has great potential." Yang Cheng smiled to himself, knowing that he had seized the opportunity.
"You'd better not meddle in other people's business." Hei Hu's voice was low and dangerous, making Yang Cheng's heart tighten.
"I don't mean to interfere, I just think this can increase the value of our cooperation." Yang Cheng tried to remain calm, but his heart was turbulent.
"Shut up!" Hei Hu's rage erupted, shocking Yang Cheng. He realized that his attempt might be too risky.
"I'm sorry, I was just thinking about our cooperation." Yang Cheng tried to make his tone softer, but he still felt uneasy in his heart.
"Don't let me down." Hei Hu said coldly, with a threatening light in his eyes.
A feeling of powerlessness welled up in Yang Cheng's heart. He knew this game was far more complicated than he had imagined. In front of the black tiger, he had to be cautious, fearing that a single word from him could bring about a catastrophic disaster.
"How can I seize the initiative?" Yang Cheng pondered in his mind, his heart filled with anxiety and anticipation. He realized that he had to speed up his pace to reverse the situation in this game.
"I can't let Hei Hu lead me by the nose." Yang Cheng secretly made up his mind and decided to dig deeper into the relationship between Hei Hu and that woman, trying to find an opportunity to turn the situation around.
As time went by, Yang Cheng, through constant observation and reflection, finally found a clue. Hei Hu seemed to have very complicated feelings for that woman, which ignited a glimmer of hope in his heart.
"I can exploit this weakness," Yang Cheng thought to himself, a cunning glint in his eyes. He knew that if he seized this opportunity, he could gain more initiative for himself.
At this moment, Yang Cheng's heart was filled with fighting spirit and anticipation. He began to think about how to turn this weakness into his own bargaining chip to break the current deadlock.
"I can't let Black Tiger detect my intentions." Yang Cheng muttered to himself, he must remain calm. He began to formulate a detailed plan, trying to gradually advance his strategy without alerting Black Tiger.
"I will make Hei Hu realize that I am the most reliable partner." Yang Cheng's determination became stronger and stronger. He wanted to find his own light in this game.
Over the next few days, Yang Cheng began to actively collect more information about the relationship between Hei Hu and the woman. He secretly decided that only by understanding this woman well enough could he find his breakthrough.
"Have you heard of that woman?" Yang Cheng's tone was a little casual when he was discussing with his deputy Li Qiang in the office, but he was actually testing the other party's reaction.
Li Qiang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head: "Which one are you talking about? There are always many women around Hei Hu."
"The young one is called Xiaohua." Yang Cheng pretended to be relaxed, but secretly observed Li Qiang's expression in his heart.
"Oh, that." Li Qiang seemed to suddenly remember something and frowned slightly. "I heard that she has a good relationship with Hei Hu, but I don't know the details."
Yang Cheng secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Li Qiang's reaction seemed to indicate that this woman was not unfamiliar, but rather someone who could attract a certain amount of attention. "Do you know her background?"
"She seems to be a model. She's done some commercials before." Li Qiang said casually, a hint of confusion on his face. "Why are you suddenly interested in her?"
Yang Cheng's mind shifted, and he decided to guide Li Qiang further. "I just want to get to know her. Maybe I can take advantage of this opportunity." He tried to keep his intentions vague to avoid arousing Li Qiang's suspicion.
"Don't think too much, kid. Hei Hu is not an easy guy to deal with." Li Qiang patted Yang Cheng's shoulder with a smile, then turned around to do his own thing.
"Yes, Black Tiger is no simple matter," Yang Cheng muttered to himself. He knew the challenge he faced was not to be underestimated and that he must proceed with caution. His thoughts, however, continued to revolve around Li Qiang's words. If he could cleverly utilize Xiao Hua, perhaps he could further solidify his position against Black Tiger.
Over the next few days, Yang Cheng quietly observed Xiao Hua's every move. He discovered that Xiao Hua indeed had a close connection with Hei Hu. Xiao Hua was always present at every event Hei Hu attended. Yang Cheng's heart tightened, realizing Xiao Hua's importance.
"I need to find the right time to approach her," Yang Cheng thought silently. He began to follow various social activities, trying to slowly get closer to Xiaohua through his friends and understand her personality and preferences.
Finally, at a party hosted by a friend, Yang Cheng finally saw Xiaohua. She was wearing a bright red dress, and the vibrant color made her stand out among the crowd. A flicker of unease crossed Yang Cheng's heart, but it quickly gave way to curiosity and anticipation. He knew that if he could establish a relationship with Xiaohua, he could secure more opportunities for himself.
"Look, Xiaohua's dress is so beautiful today." The friend next to her whispered, with admiration in his eyes.
Yang Cheng smiled faintly, but secretly looked at Xiao Hua. Although her relationship with Hei Hu was ambiguous, it didn't seem completely bound. Yang Cheng thought to himself, "Perhaps I can use this opportunity to test her."
"Go talk to her." The friend patted Yang Cheng on the shoulder, as if to encourage him.
Yang Cheng took a deep breath, tried to appear natural, and walked towards Xiao Hua. Every step seemed to challenge his inner tension, but he knew in his heart that he had to persevere.
"Xiaohua, can I buy you a drink?" Yang Cheng asked with a smile, trying to make his voice sound relaxed.
Xiaohua turned around, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, and then he smiled friendly. "Of course!"
They sat at an empty table, their glasses clinking gently. Yang Cheng felt a surge of excitement and nervousness. He began to carefully observe Xiaohua's reaction, trying to find an opportunity.
"You've heard a lot about your cooperation with Hei Hu. He is indeed a very capable person." Yang Cheng tried to guide the topic.
"Well, Black Tiger is indeed very powerful, but sometimes he is also difficult to get along with." Xiao Hua sighed softly, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.
"Why? Is he not good to you?" Yang Cheng had an idea and tried to guide Xiaohua to express her feelings more.
"Not really, he's just... always busy, and sometimes it feels like he's too devoted to his work." Xiaohua frowned slightly, as if thinking about how to express himself.
Yang Cheng seized the opportunity, thinking to himself, "This is a turning point." He smiled slightly and gestured for Xiao Hua to continue. "Will being too busy at work make you feel lonely?"
Xiaohua's eyes flashed with emotion, and then he nodded. "Yes, sometimes I feel very tired."
"Maybe it would be better to have friends around." Yang Cheng followed suit, but in his heart he was thinking about how to lead this conversation to a deeper level.
"Friends are indeed important." Xiao Hua smiled slightly, a hint of warmth in his eyes, "But in this circle, friends always seem to be rare."
Yang Cheng's heart tightened, knowing that Xiaohua's loneliness was a breakthrough. He tried to make his voice sound more caring, "If you need me, I can be your friend."
