He Shu stood and raised his head to see Pei Rong walking over. He frowned with a solemn look on his face promptly.
“You’re here.” Pei Rong strode over with a courteous smile on his face.
“Yes?” asked He Shu mildly.
Pei Rong did not take He Shu’s cold reaction to heart. He said in a normal tone, “I was looking for you. Why haven’t you signed the consent agreement yet?”
He Shu scoffed upon hearing this. “Chairman Wang is still the official chairman.”
“Even if Chairman Wang hasn’t retired from office, his days are numbered.” Pei Rong sighed sadly. “Everyone is supporting Deputy Chairman Qin’s promotion. If you go against him, you are putting your career at risk. Is it worth it?”
He Shu looked at Pei Rong coolly. “Chairman Wang is just fine.”
Pei Rong pursed his lips. He assumed that He Shu was just consoling himself and could not be bothered arguing the point any further with him. He simply smiled and said, “As a friend, I just want to warn you. Everyone is on Deputy Chairman Qin’s side. No matter who you call, no one can help you.”
He Shu’s hands were hanging from the sides of his body and he fiercely clenched his fists.
Chairman Wang had made many calls last night, but not a single person agreed to help. Qin Zheng had already gotten to those people before Chairman Wang did.
Pei Rong could tell that He Shu was suppressing his temper. He smiled and said, “You’re a smart man, so you should pick the right side.”
“No one’s going to stop you if you want to ingratiate yourself with Qin Zheng but you don’t have to shove it into my face.” He Shu relaxed his hands after mocking Pei Rong. He walked around Pei Rong and strode out.
Pei Rong watched from behind as He Shu left. He was so angry that he laughed out loud.
He Shu must be an idiot. Chairman Wang was no longer able to cover his back.
Pei Rong turned coldly and entered the lift. He took the lift and went straight to Deputy Chairman Qin’s office.
“It doesn’t matter if He Shu refuses to sign the consent agreement. It changes nothing.” Deputy Chairman Qin leaned against his chair as he spoke softly and did not take it to heart.
Pei Rong nodded. “From the looks of it, he probably couldn’t get anyone to help him.”
Deputy Chairman Qin was in a good mood. He tapped his fingers on his knee nonchalantly. “Who would dare to get involved? Not a single person in town would do it.”
Pei Rong smiled. “Even if He Shu tried to ask the Min family for help, they probably can’t do anything about it any longer.”
Deputy Chairman Qin looked at Pei Rong and raised his brow. “I have you to thank for this.”
If not for the incense, it would be hard for him to make Min Yu get a relapse.
Pei Rong spoke respectfully with his head lowered slightly. “I’m glad I could help. It was the least I could do.”
Deputy Chairman Qin liked smart men, but he could not help thinking about Huo Yao’s prescriptions and a serious look emerged on his face. “Did your father say anything?”
“My father went to see Huo Yao the other day. I doubt she will change her mind about giving you the prescriptions.” Pei Rong was worried that Deputy Chairman Qin might get angry, but he continued. “I’m concerned about Huo Yao. What if she’s able to cure Young Master Min?”
Deputy Chairman Qin narrowed his eyes and said, “Impossible.”
Pei Rong felt hesitant thinking about Huo Yao’s treatment of Fang Chen. “Just what if she could?”
“It’s simply impossible,” interrupted Deputy Chairman Qin confidently.
She was not from the Shangguan clan, so it was impossible for her to cure Min Yu.
