Chapter 589 - 540 Surprise 4
"Assistance? Unnecessary—Nilan is an employee I hired. Since she’s my person, it’s natural that I would help her solve any problems she encounters; it’s only to be expected and doesn’t require any help," Li Chengyi stated with righteous severity.
Nilan immediately rolled her eyes and looked speechless.
"So, no need for any token of trust. You all have fun; I have some matters to attend to." Li Chengyi waved his hand and quickly left the office, catching a taxi by the roadside and driving away.
"See? I told you the boss wasn’t like that," Dunis immediately stood up to argue on the side.
Then he glanced at Durania and sighed, "Besides, we can’t always rely on Miss Durania for help..."
The Durania family indeed has significant clout, and even the New Moon Congregation has to show them respect, but that’s their background, not hers.
Durania’s father is a very cold-hearted person; he wouldn’t say anything if you could solve a problem with a bit of money.
But for this kind of confrontation with the New Moon Congregation, he would never allow it.
The bulk of the New Moon folks are self-proclaimed nobles who are all about saving face. If Durania’s father stepped in to help, it would likely only further provoke them, making them feel severely challenged.
That would only make the situation worse.
"Ah, dad, if you don’t know anything then don’t butt in, go away, go away! You’re only making things more chaotic," Nilan impatiently shooed her own father, calling out.
