"So … do you have a better idea?" Pudding looked at Zhang Manlin.
"We'll have to keep going. This is a big ravine, so it's hard to get around here. There won't be any communication equipment in the village. I just checked the map. There's a big town about 70 miles ahead called Qinghe. There must be communication equipment there. We can borrow someone's phone to contact your dad, and Huo Siqian won't know. It's perfect."
"So you're saying that we have to keep going for 70 miles?"
"Yes, 70 miles isn't far. If I drive fast, we'll be there in less than two hours," Zhang Manlin said.
Pudding looked down and didn't say anything … She seemed to be thinking about something.
"If you promise me that after I help you, I'll be your dad's secretary. Then we have a deal."
"What if I don't agree?" Pudding looked up and asked Zhang Manlin word by word.
"If you don't agree, haha … I'm sorry, but I can't take the risk. I can only … drive myself and leave you here. You might not know this, but I'm not trying to scare you. The villagers here are very unruly. A few years ago, they went to buy wives. Because they're poor and they're old and smelly, no woman is willing to marry them. If you run into them, they'll lock you up and make you into a child bride."
"So you're saying that if I don't agree to your terms, I'll die?" Pudding sneered.
"Not entirely. If your dad comes looking for you, you might be fine … But I can't guarantee that the criminals who caught you won't be one step ahead of you …"
"Zhang Manlin, you're young, but you're really vicious."
"Don't say that. Every man for himself. I'm just trying to get some benefits for myself." Zhang Manlin flipped her hair and smiled.
Pudding hated this woman, but at this moment, she had no choice but to work with her.
"There's something I'm actually quite curious about."
"What is it?" Zhang Manlin looked up and asked.
"You're making a gentleman's agreement with a kid like me. Aren't you afraid that I'll go back on my word? You know, I'm just a kid. I'm not even eighteen yet. Even if I sign a contract and put my fingerprint on it, the law won't recognize it, let alone a verbal agreement. Aren't you afraid that I'll kick you to the curb after you help us?"
"You won't."
"Why?"
"Because I've already recorded our conversation. If you don't fulfill your promise, I'm sorry, but I'll have to release it. Although you won't have to take legal responsibility, if this video is released, it'll affect your family, your dad's company, and your parents' reputation. Haha, I don't think I need to say more, right?" Zhang Manlin waved her phone.
"As expected, you're quite the schemer. Heh … no wonder that big pervert Huo Siqian appreciated you so much."
"You flatter me. So … Miss Pudding, what do you think of my offer?"
"Deal. I promise you that you'll drive to the next town right now. My sister and I will leave immediately and go home."
Pudding didn't even think about it. A woman like Zhang Manlin wouldn't amount to anything even if she worked at GK as her dad's secretary.
Pudding decided that she would deal with this b * tch after she got home safely.
So, she agreed to her offer …
"Sure. Let's pack up and leave immediately.
Zhang Manlin was in a good mood. However, just as she was walking to the car, she suddenly received a call from Huo Siqian.
