“Whether or not I forgot about it because of the car accident, I think that since I don’t remember, you don’t have to care about it anymore.
“I can roughly guess how you feel. You think that, since I saved your life, you want to repay this favor? Mr. Gong, I really don’t think there’s a need for that. It might just be a piece of cake for me back then. Since it’s been 10 years, let it pass.
“I don’t need you to repay me. You don’t have to feel like you owe me anything.”
“This is just what you think.” Gong Zeli seemed to be suppressing his emotions as his voice deepened. “You saved me, so I can’t possibly overlook it. Even if you think it doesn’t matter, I’ll always feel like I owe you a favor.
“I have to repay you for saving my life.”
Qiao Mianmian was speechless.
“In that case, I saved you, right? So I’m your savior?”
“Yes.”
“So, shouldn’t you listen to your savior?”
“Qiao Mianmian, you…”
“Mr. Gong, I really don’t think you need to repay me. I don’t need it, either. If you feel like you owe me, then I’ll make a request of you. Take it as repayment for my kindness.”
“What?”
“Forget about this. Let’s try not to contact each other in the future, alright? Because doing this will really cause trouble for me and my other half.
“I don’t want him to be unhappy.
“Mr. Gong, don’t call me again. I have something on. I’m hanging up.”
Qiao Mianmian hung up.
…
On the other side.
Gong Zeli tightened his grip on the cell phone as he heard the disconnected tone.
She rejected him.
It was actually within his expectations, but why was he still so angry?
She sounded relaxed.
She wanted him to put it down.
He’d thought of letting it go, but could he?
What happened wasn’t important to her, but to him, it was a sore spot.
Gong Zeli stood in front of the window for a long time.
Until someone knocked on the door.
He finally snapped out of his daze and took a deep breath. He adjusted his expression and turned around. “Come in.”
The door opened.
His assistant walked in.
The assistant looked anxious and a little serious as he hurried to the desk with a stack of documents.
“Chairman Gong.” The assistant pursed his lips and placed a thick stack of documents on the desk. He said with a serious expression, “Te Mo Corporation has canceled all cooperation with our Gong Corporation and removed all investments. Many ongoing projects have been forced to stop.
“These projects can’t be carried out for the time being, and it’s a huge loss to the corporation.
“These are all the financial reports that have just been tabulated. This is just a day’s loss, and it’s already very shocking. If this goes on like this, it’ll be a huge blow to the Gong Corporation.”
Gong Zeli picked up the financial report and flipped through it for a while. His expression didn’t seem to change, but the coldness in his eyes got stronger.
A moment later, he put the document down.
“Chairman Gong, what should we do next?” the assistant asked.
