Quan Jingzhou’s expression instantly turned grim. He didn’t know how to answer this question.

Fortunately, at this moment, Yan Qingqing “considerately” stood up to help him. “Shen Liao, don’t spout nonsense. Mr. Quan is the chairman of the Quan Corporation. How can he not have money? Mr. Quan, we’ve thought about it. Since you’re not short of money, wouldn’t we be taking advantage of you if we shamelessly insist on sharing this project? Therefore, our cooperation ends here. Mr. Quan, please immediately terminate the contract with us and return the money we invested.”

Yan Qingqing smiled charmingly, her tone unbelievably gentle.

But her words were like a graceful knife that pierced Quan Jingzhou’s heart. He almost suffocated to death.

Quan Jingzhou held his chest and panted heavily. He gritted his teeth and looked at Yan Zhengchen, trying his best to squeeze out a smile. “Young Master Yan, I’m afraid this is not proper conduct. Your parents and I are friends. If we fall out, it will be embarrassing for everyone.”

Yan Zhengchen didn’t say anything. He just glanced at Gong Yu and asked, “Ah Lu, I think Mr. Quan forgets things quite easily. Tell Mr. Quan what he just said.”

Gong Lu calmly took out his phone and pressed the “stop” button in front of Quan Jingzhou. He then pressed the “replay” button.

Quan Jingzhou’s voice came through the phone.

“You’ve already said last time that you were willing to invest because you believed in us. We’ve already discussed our terms. If you still want my company to include your names on the bridge, don’t even think about asking for a share of the profits. After all, our Quan Corporation doesn’t need your investment…”

Quan Jingzhou’s arrogant and despotic tone rang out from the phone.

Quan Jingzhou’s face instantly turned livid.

“Mr. Quan is right. You might not think much of our families, but the older generation is very prideful. If our parents heard what you said, they probably wouldn’t blame us for breaking the contract.” Yan Zhengchen stood up and slowly straightened his sleeves. He said unhurriedly, “Mr. Quan, please return all the money we invested in the Quan Corporation by tomorrow. We won’t disturb you anymore. Goodbye.”

“How dare you trick me? Have you never considered the consequences of provoking our Quan family?!” Quan Jingzhou slammed the table and stood up abruptly.

Hearing this, everyone looked at him.

“Mr. Quan, it’s one against five. Who do you think will win? The Quan Corporation or our five families?” Gu Xia suddenly asked.

Each of the Yan, Gu, Chi, Gong, and Shen families alone was on par with the Quan family. Where did Quan Jingzhou get his confidence from?

Quan Jingzhou was instantly rendered speechless. His face turned red and he didn’t know what to say.

Yan Zhengchen and the rest did not waste any time. They left Quan Jingzhou’s office together.

After the group left, only Secretary Jin was left behind with a helpless expression. He stood there vigilantly and observed Quan Jingzhou’s expression. He was so frightened that he didn’t even dare to breathe loudly.
