In fact, the ability to break down the psychological defenses of this strong woman was not only due to Shen Yingnian's familiarity with the plot and some wisdom, but also thanks to that "post-event cigarette".
The biggest function of this e-cigarette rewarded by the system is to enhance the host's momentum.
This function may seem a bit useless, but for the villain Shen Yingnian, it is a timely help.
In novels, one of the greatest characteristics of the protagonist and the villain is their aura.
Often the protagonist can just say a few random words that shock everyone, make them bow down to him, and make them believe it without a doubt.
This is what is called the protagonist's halo.
The villain is the opposite. No matter how reasonable or confident his words are, everyone will sneer at them and treat them like a jinx.
If there was no help from this e-cigarette, perhaps no matter how eloquently Shen Yingnian spoke, Nie Ruoyun would resolutely choose to fight to the end. At worst, she would rather die in glory than live in disgrace!
Now that the momentum has been raised, if the heroine is deceived by threats and inducements, she will fall into the trap.
Of course, this was also related to the fact that Nie Ruoyun was in a state of collapse due to losing her virginity. Naturally, she was suppressed by the well-prepared Young Master Shen in terms of momentum!
With the collapse of her psychological defenses, Nie Ruoyun's demeanor as a strong woman disappeared, leaving only endless misery and helplessness.
"Why, why do you do this to me..." She burst into tears, and there was a hint of pleading in her tone: "You are so rich and powerful, and you can get any woman you want. Why do you have to destroy me?"
"Because I like you, of course I have to get what I like." Shen Yingnian smiled even more brightly, but his words were still extremely cold: "If I can't get it, I would rather destroy it than let others get it for free!"
"Shen Yingnian, you... you've already got my body, why do you have to kill me?!"
"I can't help it. My family is pushing me to get married. Rather than letting them randomly match me up, I might as well pick someone I like."
Shen Yingnian spoke shamelessly and with confidence.
Nie Ruoyun could only remain silent, perhaps she was at a loss as to what to do.
She really didn't know what to do next!
A strong woman was bullied into being like Little Red Riding Hood, and Shen Yingnian, the big bad wolf, finally showed his wolf tail at this moment...
He pinpointed the moment when Nie Ruoyun was struggling the most, and suddenly softened his words: "If you can't accept it right now, I can give you a compromise."
"What is it?"
Nie Ruoyun asked hurriedly, without even noticing that this compromise plan had aroused a glimmer of hope deep in her heart, making her emotions become urgent.
This attitude made Shen Yingnian very satisfied.
Having driven for the big boss of the group for such a long time in his previous life, he had learned a lot and knew very well the essence of negotiating with opponents, which was to make firm statements and block all roads at the very beginning, leaving the opponent with no way out, and then provide a way out at the right time, which was a compromise solution.
No matter how harsh the compromise plan is, the opponent will most likely compromise and agree. After all, this is much better than going to a desperate situation!
Seeing the faint light in Nie Ruoyun's eyes, Shen Yingnian said slowly: "It's very simple. Be my girlfriend for a year. During this year, our relationship can be kept secret, but you must fulfill your obligations as a girlfriend, for example..."
At this moment, Shen Yingnian's eyes became particularly playful, a look that all adults could understand.
Nie Ruoyun's face suddenly turned red again, and he cursed: "You beast, don't you want to get away with it for nothing..."
She really wanted to scold Shen Yingnian for trying to get something for free, but she really couldn't say it out loud!
Shen Yingnian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't take advantage of you for nothing. In this year, I will help you increase the market value of your company by more than a hundred times, and help you and your mother become the core of the Nie family. Once I achieve these, you must sell yourself to me for life."
Nie Ruoyun was horrified and looked at Shen Yingnian in doubt, but still said no: "I know you are rich, but I'm sorry, I'm not a commodity!"
"But in my opinion, everything has a price." Shen Yingnian sneered, "From what I know, your company is not doing well recently. Several products that you have launched at a high cost are not competitive at all. You can't get the payment back, and the debts outside are imminent. Are you sure you can last a full year?"
This sentence caught Nie Ruoyun's soft spot again!
At this stage, Nie Ruoyun is in a very difficult situation. If his business fails, not only will he have to face huge debts, but the contempt and ridicule from the Nie family alone will be enough to make Nie Ruoyun miserable!
So in the original novel, Xiao Chen's timely help was able to win Nie Ruoyun's heart...
As expected, Nie Ruoyun wavered again.
In order to prove her ability to her family, she has gambled everything, and her current predicament has almost pushed her to the brink of despair.
Therefore, when Shen Yingnian said this, she couldn't help but wonder about the truthfulness of his words.
"I won't just paint a rosy picture for people. I dare to say this because I am absolutely sure."
"Why should I believe you!"
Nie Ruoyun sneered.
Her words made Shen Yingnian sure that she was indeed moved, so he struck while the iron was hot and said, "If I don't fulfill this promise, then I will give you 10 billion in a year. This money is more than enough to make up for this promise."
Nie Ruoyun's heartbeat quickened several times and his breathing became heavy.
This compromise is indeed very tempting...
However, when Nie Ruoyun realized these thoughts, he couldn't help feeling ashamed and self-blaming.
Nie Ruoyun, how could you become so self-degrading? Are you really planning to give yourself to a tiger
However, if I reject even this compromise, then besides death, is there any other way out
While Nie Ruoyun was struggling with her conscience, Shen Yingnian was still trying to persuade her: "Think about it. Be my girlfriend for a year. During this year, you will still be pure and innocent to the outside world, and no one will know about our relationship. And after a year, you will gain both fame and fortune, realizing your ambitions and reversing your mother's predicament of being nameless and without status. Then you will be the young mistress of my Shen family. It's a great honor to join forces with two powerful people."
"Even if I don't fulfill my promise, you won't lose anything. Ten billion is enough for you and your mother to have a comfortable life. You won't have to look at the Nie family's face anymore. You can also kick me out. This is a sure win. Miss Nie, you have been in the business world for so long. You should know how to weigh such a profitable business, right?"
Nie Ruoyun didn't know how many times she had glared at him fiercely.
It sounds good to say that she will make a huge profit with only a small investment, but this "cost" alone is enough to make her live a life worse than death!
When I thought about how my body would be constantly ruined by this beast over the next year, even 10 billion didn't seem so attractive!
No! I can't let this scumbag young man lead me by the nose!
At this time, Nie Ruoyun's strong woman aura burst out again. She seemed to have returned to the familiar business negotiations and regained some calmness and wisdom.
"Is the plan you mentioned above true?"
"You can put your fingerprints on the paper in black and white."
"… Well!"
Nie Ruoyun took a deep breath and made the greatest decision of his life: "I have to go back and think about your plan, but one thing must be done according to my request, otherwise I will never agree to it even if I die here today."
"Tell me about it." Shen Yingnian seemed very straightforward.
However, Nie Ruoyun became coy, her cheeks flushed like a fire cloud, and she said in a low voice as thin as a mosquito's whisper: "That's right, that's right... the girlfriend's obligations you mentioned... In private, you can hold hands, but you can't touch my body... Other things must wait until you fulfill your promise... This is my bottom line!"
