Lu Fan was somewhat displeased. Talking about cooperation with these people was simply unreasonable, especially since he knew it himself.

The other party could return at any time, and then the threat would be far more complex than it appears.

I didn't want to push them into this fire pit, but looking at what these people were saying, was it because I was afraid of that little bit of profit?

"Mr. Lu, what you're saying sounds like you're discarding us after we've served our purpose. We stood firmly by your side back then, but what are you saying now?"

Lu Fan made some movements, his gaze turned to the other person, and he was constantly pondering whether he was really like that.

They thought so much for them, but in the end, they blamed everything on him.

Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed and looked at the other person.

"Mr. Liu, we've been working together for so many years, and we've all seen this relationship. But if you're going to say this now, I'd like to see what kind of reason you have."

Mr. Liu spoke frankly, revealing everything about Lu Fan's desire to stop cooperating with them and his unwillingness to fulfill his previous promises.

"Mr. Lu, you've put yourself in this state of self-blame just because of those little things and those little benefits."

I know very well that there aren't many good people like us in business. Back then, we only cooperated with you because you were honest and put us first in everything.

If you're really going to take things this far, then I'm sorry, but from now on, we'll stop cooperating. This matter ends here.

Hearing this, Lu Fan didn't want to say anything more to the other person. No matter how much he talked to this kind of person, it would all come down to just one sentence in the end.

If you don't go along with other people's wishes, it will naturally cause dissatisfaction in the whole situation. Rather than going through that, it's better to cut off contact from the beginning.

Jiang Manyue, who was standing to the side, remained silent. They knew the situation and understood that this was not a good thing at all.

“Someone else came to me before, and I told them the same reason you just gave me. They look pretty much the same as him. I don’t know what these people are thinking.”

Lu Fan, standing to the side, frowned slightly. He naturally understood the problem and knew there was a reason behind it. If trouble were to arise next, it would certainly not be a good thing for them.

Right now, the most important thing for them is to handle these cooperative relationships properly, and then they can arrange everything according to their own wishes.

"Let's just let those who don't believe us go. Those who want to continue cooperating with us will continue to enjoy their original benefits."

After these people go back, they will have some connections, and if they spread rumors, their reputation will be completely ruined. Lu Fan also knows this.

He has already cleared himself out. Next, if something really goes wrong here, this group of people will not hesitate to abandon him.

“I think we absolutely cannot let these people off so easily. Didn’t they say they wanted it? Then why don’t we just fulfill their dream?”

Jiang Manyue is not one to be bullied, especially since they've come so close to taking advantage of her. If she really stays out of the loop, who will respect them if word gets out?

After a brief hesitation, Lu Fan agreed to do so, because he sensed that those people were not as pure as he had imagined.

Originally, continuing to work with him was the only option, or rather, there was no other choice within the team.

All of this is for profit. When you can't create profit for them, you're just a piece of trash in their eyes.

He didn't want to let them bully him like this.

“You’re right. I’ll notify them now and gather everyone together. I want to see what these people are up to.”

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he arranged to meet all the suppliers at the hotel again.

Lu Fan deliberately arrived at the hotel last. Everyone inside exchanged glances, each with their own thoughts.

After a long silence, seeing that the visitors had arrived, Mr. Liu took out a voice recorder and played it in front of everyone.

"This is a recording of my conversation with President Lu. Everyone can listen to it carefully. Based on my current deduction, the other party looks down on us at all, and this is just an attempt to appease us."

He has no intention of cooperating with anyone now, nor does he want to fulfill the promises he made before.

After listening to the recording, everyone, who hadn't yet met Lu Fan, held a glimmer of hope in their hearts.

Everyone wanted to continue cooperating with Lu Fan; he was a lucrative prospect, and even a small piece of him would be enough for them to live on for a long time.

"Mr. Liu, what do you mean by that? We don't quite understand. Besides, this isn't something we can just talk about casually."

What if what President Lu said is true? The danger hasn't passed yet. If something really goes wrong and affects the entire group, that would be rather inappropriate.

Although some defended Lu Fan, most people who heard the recording, combined with their own life experiences, all felt that Lu Fan was clearly trying to harm them.

He only said those words to reassure people, but now that things are over, the hidden knife has been revealed.

"You make it sound simple, but he promised to increase the original profits by fifty percent."

Can you honestly say you're not tempted by this contract? Plus, everyone knows the quality of their own products; even adding another 50% wouldn't benefit them much.

"I think so too. If we really calculate it this way, even if the improvement isn't that significant, can we guarantee that everything will develop as we imagine?"

Soon, the words that had just defended Lu Fan completely swallowed up the few people, plunging them into silence.

They, like most people, are unfortunate, but the situation is what it is.

The others were chattering amongst themselves, planning to confront Lu Fan and see what he would say next.

If given the chance, they should be allowed to completely let this matter pass. After all, securing their own interests is the most important thing; everything else is just wishful thinking.

"When President Lu arrives, we'll all lay our cards on the table and ask him what he thinks, and whether he's willing to agree to our demands."

“That’s right. As long as we all work together, I don’t believe he can completely get rid of us.”

Most people have this idea in mind, and everyone wants to gain some benefit from it.

Shortly after they finished speaking, Lu Fan and Jiang Manyue entered together.

The moment the two appeared, everything fell silent.
