Chapter 272 I didn’t mean that
Chapter 272 That's not what I meant
But Mr. Liu only dared to curse in a low voice.
He dared not show it too obviously, after all, Gu Tingyan's power was not to be underestimated.
Left with no other option, President Liu ordered someone to check the surveillance footage to find out why Gu Tingyan had suddenly rejected him.
Gu Tingyan had clearly intended to cooperate with me before, but now...
When he saw in the surveillance footage that it was Li Yan who made Gu Tingyan reject him, his anger instantly flared up.
Mr. Liu stared at the beautiful woman with delicate features on the screen, resenting her for ruining his plans.
But seeing how carefully Gu Tingyan pampered her, he didn't dare to offend her easily.
Meanwhile, Zhou Zeran was secretly observing President Liu.
Seeing Mr. Liu's angry expression, he was secretly delighted, feeling that his opportunity had arrived.
Zhou Zeran stepped forward without hesitation, walked to President Liu's side, and hypocritically condemned Li Yan.
"Mr. Liu, your project clearly has great potential, but it was ruined because of this woman, Li Yan, that you ruined your cooperation with President Gu. Wasn't that intentional?"
Zhou Zeran spoke Liu's mind.
Mr. Liu couldn't help but glance at Zhou Zeran a couple more times, then nodded without making a sound.
Seeing that President Liu had reacted, Zhou Zeran smiled broadly and continued speaking.
Gu Tingyan, who was not far away, overheard Zhou Zeran's words, and a flash of anger instantly appeared in his eyes.
How could he tolerate others criticizing his mother like that?
Gu Tingyan immediately strode over and looked coldly at Zhou Zeran.
His gaze was like a sharp sword, piercing straight into Zhou Zeran, sending a chill down Zhou Zeran's spine.
"Who do you think you are? How dare you criticize her?" Gu Tingyan's voice was as loud as thunder, making everyone present's ears ring.
He ruthlessly and forcefully refuted Zhou Zeran, saying in an icy tone, "Do you think I don't know what you're thinking? You just want to use this project to seek personal gain. From now on, don't even think about having any chance to cooperate with me again."
Gu Tingyan's icy words were like heavy stones, striking Zhou Zeran directly and turning his face as pale as paper.
Humiliated, Zhou Zeran was filled with anger and resentment.
His self-esteem was severely damaged, and his mentality began to become somewhat abnormal.
Zhou Zeran clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his palms, yet he felt no pain.
However, Zhou Zeran still managed to restrain his emotions, revealing a slightly ingratiating smile: "President Gu, I think you misunderstood. That's not what I meant..."
Gu Tingyan sneered: "You know best what you're thinking. Now, I don't want to see you again."
Zhou Zeran finally released his fist and slunk away.
Gu Tingyan successfully got rid of the annoying Zhou Zeran, but then he noticed Duan Yujing greeting Li Yan not far away.
Gu Tingyan's eyes instantly became wary, staring intently at Duan Yujing as if he were looking at a potential enemy.
Gu Tingyan's expression was cold: "Duan Yujing, you're like a persistent ghost, aren't you?"
Duan Yujing felt a slight tightness in his heart when he saw Gu Tingyan walking over.
“Mr. Gu, you’ve misunderstood. I have no ill intentions toward Miss Li Yan,” Duan Yujing explained calmly.
Gu Tingyan immediately shielded Li Yan behind him: "I think you're still up to no good."
Duan Yujing's smile began to falter.
Gu Tingyan's guarded posture was like that of someone releasing a hungry wolf, as if he were afraid that Gu Tingyan would steal Li Yan away.
Li Yan peeked out from behind Gu Tingyan and saw Duan Yujing, feeling somewhat helpless.
