Wang Jianye's words flowed like a gentle stream, each word carrying his helplessness and deep-seated sorrow over his decision.

Wang Jianye understood that a simple verbal explanation could not completely dispel Vladislav's doubts and anger, nor could it prove his own actions.

So, with a smile on his face, he turned around, picked up the heavy data report from the table, and gently handed it to Vladislav.

Wang Jianye hopes that these hard figures can serve as strong evidence to persuade the other side, so that Vladislav will stop dwelling on the matter and the 'Summer Friendship Carnival' can proceed smoothly as scheduled.

However, Vladislav's gaze did not linger on the data report for long.

Instead, his face grew even darker, and his anger seemed to burn even more fiercely within him.

For Vladislav, the data report seemed ironic, a reminder of how his leader had once "disregarded" the work of a young man whom he considered a cultural and tourism genius.

At this moment, in Vladislav's mind, Qin Zian's past achievements in cultural tourism flashed by like scenes from a movie.

Those creative and passionate cultural tourism projects are all like meticulously crafted works of art, which have not only won enthusiastic market response, but also set new benchmarks in the industry.

Qin Zian's name has thus become a shining star in the global cultural tourism industry, and his every move almost foreshadows success and victory.

Against this backdrop, Qin Zi'an wrote a cultural tourism planning proposal...

In Vladislav's heart, it had become a priceless treasure, a crystallization of wisdom and inspiration.

Therefore, Vladislav simply could not understand why such a valuable proposal would be rejected by Wang Jianye.

The most infuriating thing is that Wang Jianye rejected two of Qin Zi'an's ideas—two of them!!!

Vladislav has been in Harbin for almost a week, and he still hasn't dared to ask Qin Zian for a cultural tourism idea.

In such a stark contrast, Wang Jianye has become the sinner who disregarded and wasted his talent.

This angered and saddened Vladislav, and also gave rise to the idea of ​​standing up for Qin Zian, this down-on-his-luck talented man.

"Director Wang."

Vladislav's voice was deep and powerful, each word seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth, venting his dissatisfaction.

“I believe you are an excellent leader, but on this issue, we clearly have different views. Director Qin’s talent is undeniable, and his proposal… even in its initial draft, contains enormous potential and value.”

"Director Wang, I must tell you honestly, your actions have truly pained me. The 'Summer Friendship Carnival' is an event jointly hosted by China and Uruguay, and it should be planned and prepared jointly by our two countries."

"But you rejected Director Qin's plan without our consent. This is disrespectful to our country and a desecration of Director Qin's cultural tourism plan."

"I hope you can reconsider your decision and give Qin Zi'an, and our project, a fair chance. If you insist on rejecting Director Qin's proposal without going through our country's review, then... I think we need to carefully review this event again to see if it is necessary to move forward."

Upon hearing Vladislav's words, Wang Jianye felt as if the sky was about to fall.

It's no exaggeration to say that Wang Jianye felt as if a huge boulder was pressing down on his heart...

It was so heavy that he could hardly breathe.

Vladislav's remarks not only challenged his personal decision-making but also posed a significant test to the entire Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau's upcoming grand event, the "Summer Friendship Carnival."

After such a long period of preparation, the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau has invested a great deal of time and energy.

The initial investment has long since vanished like water, every penny representing the team's hard work and expectations.

With the 'Summer Friendship Carnival' just around the corner, Vladislav is now demanding a new review.

This... this is going to kill Wang Jianye.

Wang Jianye looked up at Vladislav, but his angry eyes seemed to see through everything, making Wang Jianye feel a chill.

Under Vladislav's fury, Wang Jianye knew better than to continue, lest further argument only provoke him.

Therefore, Wang Jianye chose to remain silent and even winked at Qin Zian, hoping he would put in a good word for him.

Qin Zian immediately understood and gave Wang Jianye an 'OK' sign.

“Vladislav, I know you mean well, but you'd better not say anything. We Chinese have our own rules, and we will absolutely not make an exception for a mere director like me.”

"As the director of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau, Director Wang's actions are always well-considered. Although we have had many disagreements in the past, I believe that every move he makes is for the good of the Harbin Culture and Tourism Bureau and for the good of this 'Summer Friendship Carnival'."

“It’s alright, it’s alright, I’m really alright! Vladislav, you don’t need to stand up for me. I’ve only lost two cultural and tourism planning ideas, it’s no big deal.”

As Qin Zian's seemingly conciliatory yet unyielding words slowly fell to the floor, the air in the conference room seemed to freeze, every fluctuation carrying complex emotions.
