Villain: Manipulating the Heroines into hating the Protagonist

Chapter 786: Seducing A Sexy German Model



A few weeks after establishing his influence in Italy, Wang Jian shifted his focus to Germany, but this time, he knew he'd face an entirely different challenge. Germany's political landscape was more complex and rigorous than those of Spain or Italy. Unlike in Spain, where he'd leveraged his influence on the royal family, or in Italy, where his sway over youthful, ambitious members of parliament had been enough to advance his agenda, Germany presented an entirely different scenario.

The structure of German politics was heavily rooted in party ideologies, and the public's perception of foreign influence was guarded, especially when it came to economic interests. Additionally, InnovateX Solutions, Elegance Global, and Lumina Lifestyle faced greater scrutiny from both government and the general populace, who valued transparency and ethical practices. But perhaps the most significant roadblock was the presence of Devereux Internationals, whose largest European branch operated out of Germany.

Devereux Internationals was an industrial behemoth, and Germany was its primary European stronghold. Wang Jian's typical tactics would be difficult to implement here-Devereux's European presence was ironclad. It was here, in Germany, where Devereux Internationals had not only established their strongest networks but also flourished under the stewardship of their esteemed CEO, Erik Schneider.

Erik Schneider was no ordinary businessman; his rise within Devereux had been nothing short of remarkable. Originally from a struggling family in New York, Erik had fought his way through adversity. He'd initially caught Leon Devereux's attention after impressing him with his sharp insight and strategic prowess during a critical merger negotiation. Though Erik's early role had been advisory, his potential had rapidly elevated him within Devereux. Over time, he'd proven indispensable, and Leon had assigned him the daunting task of managing Devereux's largest European branch in Germany. Erik had delivered on his mandate with stunning success, expanding the branch's revenue to nearly twenty to thirty times that of any other Devereux International division in Europe.

As Wang Jian sat in his private office, poring over the details of Erik Schneider's file, he let out a sigh. Erik was a formidable figure in the world of international business-a brilliant strategist and fiercely loyal to Devereux. Challenging Erik directly would be like going up against an immovable mountain. But Wang Jian was not one to back down from a seemingly impossible task. He wasn't about to confront Erik head-on. Instead, he planned to exploit a weakness he'd identified-a weakness in the form of Erik's wife.

Erik's wife, Helena Schneider, was a stunning German model with a face and figure that could stop any man in his tracks. Her cascading blonde hair framed a face of flawless beauty, and her blue eyes held a confident allure. However, it was her voluptuous curves, particularly her ample, bouncy figure, that had Wang Jian's interest piqued. As he gazed at the image of Helena in the file, a devious plan began to take shape in his mind. He'd seduce Helena, using her to subtly influence Erik's decisions without ever alerting him to the fact that he was being manipulated.

Wang Jian understood that approaching Helena directly, or allowing her to connect him to InnovateX or Elegance Global, would immediately raise her guard. He would have to tread carefully, keeping his true identity hidden from her while still ensuring they'd meet often enough to spark an attraction. To achieve this, he decided to use his network to set up a modeling contract for her with one of his allied companies-one that had no apparent ties to InnovateX or Elegance Global. This way, he could orchestrate seemingly coincidental encounters, all while preserving the anonymity he needed.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

A few weeks later, Helena received an unexpected offer from a well-known luxury brand in Berlin, Opulence Couture, known for its high-end fashion line. Intrigued by the proposal and its generous pay, Helena accepted the contract without suspecting that the offer was anything more than a career opportunity. She began modeling for Opulence, unaware that the brand was indirectly connected to Wang Jian.

On her first day on set, as Helena was adjusting her outfit, she noticed a tall, distinguished- looking man nearby, engaged in conversation with one of the creative directors. The man had an aura of confidence and charisma that immediately drew attention, though he seemed to be trying to keep a low profile. It wasn't long before their eyes met, and Wang Jian seized the moment to approach her.

"Helena Schneider?" he greeted her with a warm, unassuming smile. "I've seen your work before. It's a pleasure to meet you."

Helena smiled back politely, surprised by the compliment. "Thank you. And you are?"

"Just someone with a deep appreciation for Opulence's work," he replied, giving her no clue about his true identity. "You bring such elegance to the brand. It's rare to see that kind of presence."

The two exchanged a few more pleasantries, and Wang Jian ensured the conversation remained light, careful not to give away any personal information. Over the next few weeks, he'd arrange to be present at several of Helena's shoots. Their encounters appeared purely coincidental at first, yet each meeting allowed him to deepen their connection. Each time, he presented himself as a sophisticated, cultured observer, always maintaining a mysterious air about himself.

Wang Jian's efforts to draw Helena closer began to bear fruit. The more they spoke, the more Helena found herself intrigued by his charm and seemingly limitless knowledge. On one occasion, as she finished a particularly challenging shoot, Wang Jian approached her with a bottle of champagne, a symbol of quiet celebration.

"Today's session was phenomenal," he said, pouring a glass for each of them. "You have a way of transforming the brand into something ethereal."

Helena blushed, accepting the glass he offered. "You're too kind. But thank you; it's nice to hear appreciation from someone who understands the art."

As they sipped their champagne, Wang Jian placed a gentle hand on her shoulder, his touch lingering just a moment longer than necessary. "I may not know all there is about fashion, but I recognize beauty when I see it," he said, his voice low, eyes intent.

Helena felt a jolt of electricity at his touch. There was something magnetic about him— something she couldn't quite put her finger on, yet she found herself looking forward to their encounters.

Over the following days, Wang Jian slowly escalated their interactions, always careful not to rush. He began to compliment her more openly, his gaze lingering on her curves in ways that made her pulse quicken. She began to welcome his presence, finding comfort and intrigue in his company, even though she knew so little about him.

One evening, after a long day on set, Wang Jian invited Helena to a private dinner, carefully orchestrating it as an impromptu suggestion. They dined at an exclusive restaurant, its dim lighting and quiet ambiance setting the mood. Wang Jian watched as Helena laughed freely, her inhibitions melting away in his company. During a pause in their conversation, he reached across the table, his hand grazing hers.

"Helena," he murmured, his voice a soft murmur, "you have a spirit that's rare to find. Being with you feels... different."

His words hung in the air, their meaning clear yet unspoken. Helena looked at him, her cheeks flushed, and for a moment, she seemed to hesitate, caught between her loyalty and the thrill of this forbidden attraction. She couldn't deny the draw she felt towards him, the sense of adventure he embodied.

Days turned into weeks, and Wang Jian continued to cultivate their relationship. Each encounter brought them closer, with Wang Jian pushing boundaries just enough to keep Helena intrigued, without ever forcing her hand. One evening, as they stood together on the balcony of the Opulence headquarters, he gently slid his hand around her waist, pulling her

closer.

"Is this alright?" he whispered, his lips grazing her ear.

Helena shivered at the touch, her breath hitching. She hesitated, but her body betrayed her, leaning into him, craving more. Their connection had reached a point where she could no longer deny the allure he held over her.

From that night forward, Helena and Wang Jian's relationship grew more intimate, each encounter carefully concealed from Erik's knowledge. Wang Jian's plan was now set into motion. By winning Helena's trust, he had gained the means to influence Erik Schneider indirectly. Every suggestion, every opinion that Helena shared with her husband bore Wang Jian's subtle touch. As Helena grew increasingly attached to Wang Jian, she found herself subtly advocating for his ideas to Erik, unaware of the grander scheme unfolding around her.

With Germany now on his path, Wang Jian's empire was inching closer to completion. His methods were unconventional, yet they allowed him to gain control over powerful men without ever needing to confront them directly. Germany was proving to be a tougher challenge than Spain or Italy, but as he gazed out over the Berlin skyline one evening, he knew that his patience and strategy were leading him steadily toward his ultimate goal: a network of influence across Europe, one carefully crafted relationship at a time.
