Chapter 498 - 497: Unappreciative
Director Wang was waiting in the conference room. Upon receiving the message, a cold smirk immediately crossed his lips.
"I’ve said it before, people like him are the type to take a mile when given an inch. Being nice and negotiating with him is pointless; just give him a direct order, and he’ll scurry to get it done. Such people are despicable; no need to be polite with them!" Director Wang lamented, "Elder Hua didn’t take my advice and insisted on talking to him. And what happened? The guy didn’t give him any face at all. What was the point of that?"
Director Wang sounded as though he was expressing regret, but in fact, the corners of his mouth remained curled up in a sneer, clearly laden with scorn and mockery.
Director Zhao, standing next to him, frowned as well. He actually had thought that there should be no problem with Elder Hua personally discussing matters with Su Yang. Unexpectedly, Su Yang had refused, and now things were getting tricky.
"Xiao Wang, go downstairs to receive the foreign guests and delay them a little. I’ll go and have another talk with Master Su," Director Zhao said.
"Old Zhao, let me go find Master Su!" Director Wang gestured dismissively. "You can’t handle these types, I’ll take care of it."
In fact, what Director Zhao really wanted was to go downstairs and stall for time. Given that Su Yang had disagreed even with Elder Hua there, it was clear that Su Yang’s character was not easily controlled.
Of course, he couldn’t directly let Director Wang go find Su Yang; otherwise, if something went wrong later, Director Wang might think he had set a trap for him.
Therefore, Director Zhao said what he did as if he was willing to take the fall for persuading Su Yang. In reality, he knew Director Wang’s personality well and was aware that Director Wang would definitely insist on going himself.
