Chapter 1665: Fighting Openly and Covertly
Mark’s face darkened. He thought that those people would take the initiative to drink his toast, but he had never expected them to drink the president’s toast first.
Mark tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart. Just because he was not the president, he was at the mercy of others in every way. Even if everyone knew that he was the one in charge in Europe, those people would not drink his toast first without the president speaking.
Actually, this was the custom.
Even if these people had a good relationship with Mark in private, they represented the dignity of their countries. Even if they wanted to join forces with Mark, they had to do it in secrecy. They would never show it on the surface.
When Qiao Nian saw this, she turned to Gu Zhou and said, "Mark’s thoughts are too obvious. I saw it just now. When Mark gave the toast, many people were already preparing to drink, but they didn’t dare to respond casually because of the live broadcast."
Gu Zhou leaned back in his chair, a trace of coldness flashing in his eyes. His fingers gently touched the cup as he said calmly, "Mark deliberately invited so many people this time. Firstly, he wanted to show off his status to the president, and secondly, he wanted to establish his influence in the world. However, Mark has forgotten something."
He paused for a moment and continued, "He dares to not give the president face in front of so many people, but those people don’t dare to follow him because they represent their countries. If they dare to work with Mark easily, I’m afraid the people of Europe won’t let them off."
Qiao Nian pursed her lips tightly. If it weren’t for the fact that everyone present still had some dignity, the president might have been humiliated today.
