    Doris Young remained silent for a considerable time before finally speaking up: “Walter, if I agree to be your lover and work at yourpany, can you promise not to pressure me into revealing any trade secrets of Emgrand Group?”


    Upon hearing this, Walter frowned and replied, “You’re just a professional manager at Emgrand Group. Why do you feel such loyalty to thispany?”


    Doris Young responded earnestly, “It’s a matter of my professional ethics!”


    Walter smirked: “Ms. Young, your value to me can be categorized into three areas: first, your physical presence; second, your skills; and third, your worth to Emgrand Group. To truly grasp the core secrets, I believe all three aspects are essential!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Doris Young, visibly frustrated, asked, “Must it really be like this, Walter? I can agree to many unfavorable terms—can’t you offer a bit of flexibility? Why leave it all up to me?”


    Walter grinned: “There’s no room for negotiation, but we can’t overlook the fundamental principles. For instance, I hold that none of these three aspects can be disregarded. We may have differing views on the specifics, but that’s open for discussion.”


    At that moment, Walter yfully added: “For example, I have a great fondness for children. I firmly believe in the Chinese saying about a thriving poption and growing families. If you’re with me for a decade, I expect you to have at least five children. However, if you think five is excessive, we can negotiate. If you ultimately decide on three, I would find that eptable. This is my idea of negotiation—do you understand?”


    In response, Doris Young angrily eximed, “Walter! You’re nothing short of a beast!”


    Walter chuckled and replied, “Thank you for thepliment. My father always taught me that a man must embrace his animal instincts!”


    “He appreciates the famous words of a Chinese science fiction author: Humanity can often be lost, but losing one’s animal nature means losing everything!”


    “It’s our animal instincts that allow humans to survive in a harsh world and ascend the food chain!”


    “Are cows and sheep considered cute? Yes, but we must ughter them for meat!”


    “Are foxes and minks not adorable? They are, yet we have to skin them to stay warm!”


    “Humans enjoy sashimi, so they take flesh from live seafood!”


    “Humans savor foie gras, so they force-feed geese!”


    “Humans despise mice, leading to their extermination!”


    “Humans abhor mosquitoes, investing vast resources to develop effective poisons against them!”


    “This is our animal nature! To put it simply, all beings with animal instincts are beasts! Just beasts!”<fn4581> Original content can be found at find{n}ovel</fn4581>


    “Therefore, calling me a beast doesn’t offend me; rather, it’s apliment!” He fixed his gaze on Doris Young, sneering as he continued: “For old times’ sake, I’ll extend another offer!”


    “I’m prepared to arrange for a kidney donor in the United States, offering him $20,000 as a deposit to hold the organ for me for 24 hours!”


    “This is the final 24 hours for you to decide!”


    “If, after this period, you still refuse my terms, you can start nning your father’s funeral!”


    “When that timees, I’ll personally buy the finest wreath in Aurous Hill and deliver it to the funeral home!”
