Chapter 182: Chapter 182: Unexpected Gains

Contrary to the emotions of the woman in the mink coat, the short-haired woman felt that this day was more enjoyable than any year before. She no longer had to fret over money, and there was nothing more wonderful than this in the world.

"Now, I don’t know who’s dying of shame and who ran away covering their face." The short-haired woman took a deep breath, looking smugly at the woman in the mink coat. She didn’t care at all about what others thought of her, relentlessly provoking the mink-coat woman and watching with satisfaction as she wavered.

"Since the money has been transferred, let’s sign, then this contract can officially take effect." Xu Ke shifted his gaze to the short-haired woman, speaking in an unperturbed tone.

"What can’t be said here? My time is precious." Xu Ke remained seated, and though his current position forced him to look up at the short-haired woman, his presence was still one that could only be revered.

"Please give me a moment. I promise you won’t regret it." The short-haired woman clenched her fist, speaking with a resolute look in her eyes.

Under the scrutinizing gaze of the short-haired woman, Xu Ke finally nodded slowly after a long while, appearing highly reluctant. But where the short-haired woman couldn’t see, a mysterious gleam flickered in his eyes. "But I’ll say this upfront: I can’t give you much time, at most half an hour."

"That’s enough, half an hour is sufficient." The short-haired woman tightened her fist, excitement and determination written on her face as she spoke.
