Secretary Cao was sweating profusely as he looked at Chi Mingwei and smiled awkwardly. “Mr. Chi, this is not the place to discuss this. Let’s talk somewhere else.”

Chi Mingwei did not refuse. He entered a nearby cafe with Secretary Cao after asking the driver to wait.

The two of them found a quiet seat in the corner. Chi Mingwei sat down and looked at him. “Secretary Cao, what exactly are you guys doing?”

Secretary Cao also looked troubled. He looked at Chi Mingwei helplessly and bowed deeply in his direction. “Mr. Chi, I’m really sorry! Our boss said that he has really let you down, so he didn’t have the face to come and see you. He asked me to come over and tell you that he was indeed sincere in wanting to cooperate with you. It’s just that our company can’t afford to offend some people.”

Chi Mingwei could tell that something was wrong. He narrowed his eyes and asked, “Who’s ‘some people’?”

Secretary Cao was very hesitant and did not directly name anyone.

Chi Mingwei lost his patience. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Secretary Cao, I’m very angry about this matter. We’ve already signed a contract. Logically speaking, I can sue you. Does your company want to pay a huge penalty?”

“This time, we can only terminate our contract with your company even if we have to pay the penalty. Mr. Chi, don’t you know what kind of person you’ve provoked?”

Chi Mingwei shook his head calmly. “I don’t know. I have always been a righteous person. I’ve never done anything wrong. Secretary Cao, you guys didn’t even hesitate when it came to terminating our contract and paying the penalty. This is a huge blow to me. I’m not asking for much. I just want you to give me an explanation.”

Secretary Cao hesitated a moment before saying, “I heard that your future son-in-law is the Third Young Master of the Quan family?”

Chi Mingwei’s expression changed and he immediately understood when he heard this. “Did the Quan family threaten you?”

The Quan Corporation was a huge organization. Everything would make sense if it was really them.

Secretary Cao adjusted his glasses and advised him, “Mr. Chi, you should also persuade Third Young Master Quan Jue. The Quan family has an expansive business. I heard that the head of the Quan family thinks very highly of Third Young Master. Why does he have to go against the family? He’s trying to attack a rock with an egg. It’s not wise!”

Chi Mingwei frowned. “It’s not up to you to judge whether it’s wise or not. I don’t know what Quan Jue usually does, but at least he knows how to keep his word. He won’t go back on his word like your company.”

Secretary Cao’s face turned red from the scolding, and he quickly looked away. “I was just advising you out of goodwill. It’s the Quan family. Even Mr. Chi can’t resist them, right? Third Young Master Quan Jue and Master Quan are family. What deep hatred can’t be resolved between a father and son?”

Slam!

Chi Mingwei smacked the table. “Enough. Don’t blame me for being rude if you dare to say anything bad about Quan Jue again! My company is indeed inferior to the Quan Corporation, but you guys won’t have an easy time of it either if I decide to get serious!”

Secretary Cao pouted and gave a dry smile. “Mr. Chi, don’t be angry. We had no choice.”

Chi Mingwei sneered. “There’s no need to explain. I’ll call my company’s legal department now. You will receive a lawyer’s letter!”
