"Mr. He, don't go too far. Miss Delin is not someone you can flirt with!"

Lin Yan, sitting to the side, immediately changed his expression. If he could intervene now, this guy would be dead countless times over. He's utterly courting death, daring to flirt with this ancestor!

Heru didn't seem to care, his smile nonchalant. "Really? What did I do?"

"Mr. He, I thought you liked the type of secretary at the door, I didn't expect you to have such a big appetite."

Actually, she had already sensed the relationship between the two when she saw the secretary earlier.

A faint red mark was visible on the collar of the beautiful secretary's dress. As the secretary to the CEO of H Continent Group, she had to spend all her time with He Lu.

Given their positions, it's obvious to anyone with a brain that their relationship is anything but simple.

However, such things seem to have become quite common in today's society.

As soon as he finished speaking, He Lu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, his eyes looking at Qi Jiu with even more interest.

"What type? I think as long as she's beautiful, someone will like her. What do you think, Miss Delin?"

At the other end of the conference table, He Lu smiled somewhat lewdly, causing the people next to the girl to frown, but the protagonist only smiled faintly.

"Mr. He, you have quite an appetite. I'm afraid you won't be able to finish it. Be careful not to get an upset stomach; that would be a loss."

As she spoke, a smirk appeared on her lips, her unrestrained and carefree aura radiating from her. "President He, you specifically called me here today; your purpose can't be this simple, can it? What has your backer done to you? Or perhaps, what orders have they given you?"

It seemed like a nonsensical statement, and even the executives on Helu's side didn't react, but Helu was stunned.

The teasing intent in her eyes was gone, replaced by a serious expression. "Miss Delin, what are you saying? I don't understand."

"Mr. He, you don't need to pretend in front of me. If you feel uncomfortable, you can ask those irrelevant people to leave the meeting room so we can talk in detail. What do you think?"

Seeing the girl's confident demeanor, Helu couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

He was deep in thought with his eyes lowered.

Catching his breath, he turned his gaze to the executives beside him and said, "You guys go out and eat first. There's no difference in today's contract. I can handle it myself."

Listening to their conversation, the group's senior management clearly sensed something unusual, but ultimately left.

Because, a higher-ranking official can crush you.

In an instant, Helu was surrounded by empty space. In terms of numbers, the girl's side instantly gained the upper hand.

"Miss Delin, this contract..."

"Mr. He, don't be in such a hurry. I think we still have a lot to say. We need to get things off our chests, right?"

Her slender, pale fingers tapped lightly on the table without any rhythm, and the smile on her lips never disappeared, which always gave her a slightly eerie look.

"Mr. He, this contract is nothing special for our Delin family, but looking at previous contracts, you have cooperated with our Delin family many times. Are the people behind you just going to sit idly by? After so many collaborations, they haven't made a single move? Or are they waiting for me?"

He Lu still hadn't expected Qi Jiu to be so direct.

“Miss Delin, I am the most important person in this group. Who could possibly be behind me?”

"You are indeed the most powerful person in this group, but that doesn't mean you don't have powerful backers. There are many groups that are bigger than yours. After thinking it over, the people behind you probably don't have good intentions towards the Delin family, such as... Zero?"

When the last word came out, He Lu's facial expression clearly changed, perhaps because there was no one else around and he didn't bother to hide it.

He just wouldn't admit it.

"Miss Delin has just taken office and there are many things she may not understand. Our group has many collaborations with the Delin family. Isn't this something we've kept from your family? Miss Delin, are you making baseless accusations with such a conclusion?"

"Like a frog being slowly boiled in water, and with some members of our Delin family having changed their minds, where would we get any help? I'm not stupid, and Mr. He doesn't need to put on an act with me."

"you……"

Seeing that all his thoughts and plans had been guessed, Helu could no longer keep up the act.

"Looks like I was right? Mr. He, thank you for your silence. Let's end the contract here for today."

Qi Jiu stood up, about to leave, when a loud voice echoed from the empty conference room. "Miss Delin, perhaps you should reconsider! What way out does the Delin family have now?"

The young woman turned her head, looking into her deep eyes, and said, "There's no need for President He to worry about that. From now on, all cooperation between our Delin family and your group will cease. I feel there's nothing more we can discuss."

After saying that, she left without looking back.

The meeting room suddenly fell silent. He Lu sat in his seat, his face heavy with worry.

"Mr. He, what's wrong with you?"

The secretary, who had been waiting outside, came in and, seeing He Lu's unpleasant expression, straightened up and went over to him, instinctively reaching out to touch He Lu's leg.

But before those hands could even touch him, a furious roar came from beside him. "Get out!"

"Mr. He...?"

His words brought tears to the secretary's eyes, and she looked at him in disbelief.

"Get out! Don't make me say it a third time!" Heru's voice was still sharp.

Upon hearing this, the secretary could only nod and leave the meeting room.

After an unknown amount of time, He Lu took out his phone from his pocket and slowly started typing on it.

"My lord? Yes, this path is blocked. Now you have to think of another way."

He heard something being said on the other end of the phone, and He Lu kept making "uh-huh" sounds with his head down.

Meanwhile, in the parking lot, the girl looked at the two cars that were already waiting and pursed her lips.

"Let's go."

Today's events will likely incur the wrath of the Delin family upon their return. The Delin family is currently on the verge of survival, and this contract is crucial to their survival.

However, we can't explain too much to those people right now, otherwise the fish behind this will get away.

“Miss, if we terminate all contracts with Helu, I’m afraid the family won’t agree.” After much deliberation, Mengling finally said this.

"It doesn't matter. I am the heir of the Delin family. Their opinions are not important."

Even so, once we get back, I'm afraid we'll inevitably have a falling out. "Everything I say in the meeting room must be kept secret."
