Chapter 357: The Jiang Family Made a Move
“What do you mean you’re backing out? We haven’t even signed the contract yet.”
Lu Qing gripped his mug even tighter, but he kept his cool. Taking a deep breath, he started, “How about this? You tell me what you want, and I’ll see what I can do. There’s still room for adjustment in the contract.”
Perhaps the reason why the man decided to back out in the middle of the negotiation was that he wanted a bigger slice of the cake.
He had been so confident earlier. He had even turned on the speakerphone so Yao Tang could listen in, and now that all of this was happening…
Damn it!
As he continued to think of this, a trace of viciousness flashed across his face.
As soon as this cooperation was over, he’d teach this Zhang guy a lesson! How dare he provoke someone of his standing? Did he want to die?
“I really don’t have any room for negotiation. I have to back out of this deal.” Despite Lu Qing’s willingness to negotiate, Chief Zhang still refused.
“I think you know my way of doing things, right?” Lu Qing finally lost it, raising his eyebrow. “Do you really think you want to go against me on this?”
“I…” Beads of sweat trailed down his forehead.
…
The last thing he wanted to do was to offend Lu Qing, but if he didn’t end up doing this, he took a deep breath. He twisted his wrists.
“Second Young Master Lu, given of my friendship with your brother, I’ll tell you the truth. This matter has already been decided by the higher-ups. I have no control over this.”
“What? What do you mean you have no control over this?” Lu Qing demanded through gritted teeth. “How can you not have controlled it? Are you just throwing away your responsibility?”
How could CEO Zhang not handle it?
“It was like that back then, but for some reason, the company had already given an order to transfer my responsibilities to someone else. These agreements are not under my jurisdiction anymore.”
Lu Qing clenched his fists and flipped the cakes onto the ground.
“Who is it? Who is behind this?”
“It’s the Jiang Family.”
As soon as he heard who it was, he almost let his phone slip onto the table.
“The Jiang Family? Impossible…How?”
“Look, I don’t care whether or not you believe me. I even told the higher-ups to turn the deal around, but there’s really nothing I can do. It’s the truth.”
As soon as the man hung up the phone, Lu Qing gritted his teeth.
Just now, Yao Tang had said with certainty that this matter wouldn’t be able to continue. Was it related to her then? Could she be the one behind this?
However, he had her investigated a long time ago. Yao Tang was just a girl who lived in the countryside. How could he have that capability?

If she had made a move…
No, impossible.
“You’re really a jinx, aren’t you?” Lu Qing scoffed. “How could you say what you just said?”
“Aren’t you busy?” Yao Tang rolled her eyes. “Do you still have to argue with me now?”
Clenching his jaw, he motioned to the door. “Please leave, Miss Yao.”
When Yao Tang swaggered away, Lu Qing immediately chucked his phone onto the ground. Swiping his hands on the table, he pushed everything onto the ground. Clatters could be heard everywhere.
Only after he had finished venting, did he call his brother. “There seems to be a problem with a project…”
She stepped out of the private room, only to see Xu Xuan guarding the exit.
“Let’s go.”
Xu Xuan was in a daze. Only when he come back to his senses did he realize that Yao Tang was already very far away.
