My Perfect Female CEO

According to the arrangement, Namie and Ji Jie met in the underground parking garage. Ji Jie was disguised, wearing sunglasses and a baseball cap, even inside the car, fearing an unexpected situation might reveal his identity, showing extreme caution.

Namie also drove a car of her own, following Ji Jie’s instructions. After getting out of the car, she opened the door and boarded Ji Jie’s vehicle.

Looking at Ji Jie’s appearance, Namie smiled and said blandly, "You’re really cautious. I’ve repeatedly been careful as you asked. Still on guard even in front of me, are you afraid of being secretly photographed?"

Namie’s emotions were much richer. She highly valued the intelligence gained, which had only found a breakthrough after a long time of courting. She had no idea about the auction house’s situation, and to obtain critical clues and intelligence, she spared no effort. After understanding the involved parties, she targeted Ji Jie and finally broke the barrier after repeated contacts.

To pry open Ji Jie’s mouth, both Namie and Nagano Yoko, besides being patient, racked their brains to break through.

Nagano Yoko sat in the rear, and Namie personally contacted Ji Jie. After a series of efforts, they finally had the opportunity to meet. It is no exaggeration to say that this meeting achieved a hard-won result.

"It’s a special moment now, so there’s no harm in being careful. Besides, how can we not be careful? What if a slip is exposed?" Ji Jie said to Namie, looking rather helpless.

Namie dared not further ridicule Ji Jie, fearing unexpected changes. If Ji Jie backed out, what would she do?

So, despite despising Ji Jie greatly, Namie suppressed these feelings deep down and dared not let them show.

But then again, it’s precisely such a Ji Jie that allowed Namie to acquire important intelligence. Isn’t this kind of weakling exactly what she needed?

"Is the stuff I need ready?" Namie asked, collecting her emotions, calmly and measuredly.

"What about the benefits you promised me?" Ji Jie countered without answering, eyes fixed on her, "Cash on delivery, don’t you even know such a basic rule? If there’s any deceit, don’t blame me for being rude."

"You’re our honored guest; how could we renege?" said Namie. She took out a bank card and handed it to Ji Jie, saying, "This is the number you needed; it’s all transferred to an overseas account. You can check it yourself. Since we decided to do business with you, we’re not going to be wishy-washy. We do have this bit of sincerity."

"I figured you wouldn’t dare mess around," Ji Jie said, accepting the bank card, verifying it, and counting the numbers before finally saying with satisfaction, "Not bad, exactly the number I needed. You did well here, without any tricks."

"You’ve seen our sincerity." Namie said with great patience as she looked at Ji Jie, "So, how about the stuff I wanted?"

"Don’t rush." Ji Jie said, taking out a stack of documents and handing them to Namie, cautioning repeatedly, "What I could find out is all in here. You can take it and study it yourself. There’s a major introduction related to the Ancient Painting’s whereabouts in the intel, you can take your time to look at it."

Namie flipped through a few pages of the documents and then smiled profoundly, saying, "Doing business with you is really straightforward. I hope we have a chance to cooperate again. Good luck."

"I hope not to have another chance; just this time is enough to ruin me," Ji Jie said, distressed, "Afterward, there will definitely be investigations to hold people accountable. Although I think I did it very stealthily without leaving any clues, there are no completely soundproof walls in the world. Who knows when I might be exposed? At that time, one can only imagine my fate. I’ve taken a huge risk to collude with you for this deal. Afterward, I’ll just be barely scraping by."

"Regardless, the amount in the card is enough for you to squander for three lifetimes. This figure is something you can’t even earn in ten lifetimes. You can’t catch a wolf if you don’t sacrifice the lamb. Your sacrifice this time can exchange for so much reward, it’s worth it," Namie said.

"Hopefully so, otherwise I’ll spend the rest of my life regretting today’s betrayal in prison," Ji Jie said heavily, filled with regret and complicated emotions.

"You won’t regret your choice today," Namie promised firmly.

"You don’t need to say these cold comfort words to me," Ji Jie said with a bitter smile, "Our transaction is done. From now on, I don’t know you, and you don’t know me. Don’t contact me again; I still want to keep my life."

"Rest assured, we won’t contact you. We won’t do anything that might expose you. This is a promise I make to you," Namie asserted. "If you need help, you can contact me voluntarily. Based on the relationship we have, if there’s anything I can help with, we will exert our power and not leave you in the lurch."

"I don’t wish to have any further ties with you, so that’s it, goodbye," Ji Jie said bluntly, "You can leave now."

"Take care, Mr. Ji Jie, until we meet again," Namie politely said, then got out of the car.

Ji Jie drove away, disappearing from Namie’s sight.

A moment later, Namie’s lips curled into a sinister smile, disappearing from the garage as well.

Nagano Yoko and Namie fully analyzed the intelligence obtained from Ji Jie.

This intelligence was extremely important, providing a detailed introduction whether it was about the auction house’s situation or the security distribution, especially highlighting the Ancient Painting’s whereabouts.

"This intelligence is crucial. With this information, we have a clear understanding of the internal structure of the auction house, particularly a direct insight into the distribution of security forces at the auction house. We won’t need to bump around blindly anymore," Nagano Yoko said. "After spending so much time and countless efforts, we finally have a payoff. It proves that all the efforts were worth it."

"Ji Jie, this traitor, is indeed useful," Namie said disdainfully.

She looked down on Ji Jie’s character, but she liked this kind of person who would stop at nothing to betray others for personal benefit.

"Useful indeed, more like invaluable. Such scum that can be eroded and bought off with money is the best kind of deal," Nagano Yoko laughed.
