The office was very quiet, and the atmosphere was somewhat tense.
Fu Xingzhou seemed not to hear his assistant's words, nor did he greet him politely, treating Bai Mian as if he were invisible.
Bai Mian's chest heaved a few times before he calmed down, walked to the sofa, and sat down by himself.
“Xingzhou, our two families have been friends for generations. If there’s any problem that can’t be solved, you can talk to your uncle. There’s no need to make things so ugly.”
Bai Mian spoke up, his tone humble, but he was playing the emotional card.
Fu Xingzhou looked up at his assistant, and the office door was finally closed.
He closed the documents in his hand and threw them on the table.
With a crisp "snap," Bai Mian's smile froze.
"Chairman Bai, you're too kind."
"I just don't understand what Chairman Bai meant by 'the situation is ugly'."
Fu Xingzhou's tone was cold, and his words sounded devoid of emotion.
However, Bai Mian could clearly sense that Fu Xingzhou was very angry.
The reasons for his anger were perhaps more numerous than Bai Mian had guessed.
"With the sudden termination of the project cooperation, the Fu family must also suffer a considerable loss, right?"
"Are you sure you want to use this method that hurts the enemy a thousand while harming yourself eight hundred?"
Bai Mian got serious. If being soft didn't work, then he had no choice but to use force.
Fu Xingzhou scoffed lightly, "Chairman Bai, you've misunderstood. I was just having the subsidiaries review their recent collaborative projects. I had no knowledge of the contract termination."
Bai Mian's lips twitched. He knew the words were false, but he dared not show his disbelief.
"Mr. Fu, then I'll trouble you to give the order to end this farce."
"If the Bai family has offended you in any way, you can make a request, and I will try my best to fulfill it."
Fu Xingzhou finally glanced at him, his tone tinged with a hint of mockery.
"Really? Then why are you still hesitant to agree to annul the engagement?"
Bai Weiwei is outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant, probably relying on her family's power.
How dare they try to fool him with something like this? It's outrageous!
Bai Mian's expression darkened before he began to explain.
"Xingzhou, your marriage to Weiwei was arranged by your parents more than a decade ago."
"Even if the engagement is called off, there must be a legitimate reason."
“Weiwei has always been deeply in love with you, and you two grew up together. You are the perfect couple. I think there is absolutely no reason to break off the engagement.”
Fu Xingzhou snorted coldly; he had long expected Bai Mian to say that.
He was tired of hearing that same excuse.
"Chairman Bai, then there's nothing more for us to discuss."
"Please go back, I have a meeting to attend."
Fu Xingzhou directly ordered Bai to leave. Bai Mian didn't move, opened his mouth as if to say something, but was interrupted by Fu Xingzhou again.
"Since Chairman Bai likes the Fu family, please stay a little longer."
Fu Xingzhou simply stood up and left the office.
Bai Mian watched his retreating figure, his expression growing even more unpleasant.
This time, Fu Xingzhou is determined to destroy the Bai family!
If the Bai family goes bankrupt, this marriage will be abandoned by Chairman Fu without him even having to lift a finger.
After all, the prerequisite for a marriage alliance is that the families are of similar social standing and can complement each other.
Bai Mian clenched his fists; he needed to come up with a solution.
We absolutely cannot let Fu Xingzhou continue to act recklessly like this.
After leaving the Fu Group, Bai Mian made a phone call to Chairman Fu overseas.
