Chapter 590: In a Tough Spot
Zhang Tao was now in a bit of a quandary. If no one spoke up for him, he could’ve made the decision to let him go and not stay here, but now that so many people had spoken, kicking him out would make him seem heartless.
But now it was his business partner. If he was displeased with Lin Kai, could he really keep him? If Lin Kai stayed, would Shen Dong overthink it and feel disrespected or something? That would be meaningless for future development, so he was extremely troubled about what to do.
Thinking it over, he couldn’t come up with a solution, so he turned his pleading gaze towards Shen Dong, hoping Shen Dong would make the decision for him.
Shen Dong certainly saw the other’s plea for help, but how could he just resolve the issue directly? If he did, he wouldn’t be able to test Zhang Tao’s understanding of the situation. He wanted to see Zhang Tao resolve it himself, so he pretended to look the other way and not see the plea.
Thinking that if this issue were resolved well, he could definitely provide more training, but if not, he would have to consider some subsequent developments. At that moment, Zhang Tao didn’t know how to respond. Seeing Lin Kai’s arrogant expression made him angry for a moment.
The guy should know Shen Dong was one of his best partners and an important client, and yet he had managed to anger him at such a crucial moment.
Moreover, in front of so many people, Lin Kai hadn’t shown him any respect. How was he supposed to keep him? It was Lin Kai who had posed such a big problem, and now it was up to him to solve it. Just thinking about it made him feel extremely annoyed. If only Lin Kai had shown even the slightest objection, Zhang Tao would have felt uneasy as soon as the thought crossed his mind.
He felt that if the problem hadn’t escalated so much, he wouldn’t be in this situation. While thinking this, he got a little temperamental. Lin Kai hadn’t realized that Zhang Tao could no longer tolerate him and was still smug, believing it was his destiny to stay and that he was the strongest there.
He didn’t care what others thought. Shi Jia could see something was different and thought that Zhang Tao was usually very friendly and casual towards people; he probably wouldn’t just kick Mr. Lin out. Having just spoken up for Lin Kai, what if Zhang Tao held a grudge against her because of it?
