Di Mingjue waited for this very sentence. With a look, Shen Lin took back the documents. "Since CEO Wu's willingness to cooperate is not very strong, we will not force it. The cooperation will be suspended and terminated!"
"Terminated?" Wu Jie suddenly felt a tightness in his chest.
Why was reality different from his imagination?
Seeing Wu Jie's dazed realization, Di Mingjue kindly explained, "I didn't agree with this project from the start. Even a temporary cooperation was hard to come by. Now that the cooperation is canceled, it's better for both of us."
Wu Corp's efficiency did not meet Di Mingjue's requirements. If he insisted on continuing the cooperation, there would be more than a few areas that would need revision later.
Accepting reality, a large stone in Wu Jie's heart was finally laid to rest. After arranging for Alice to see Di Mingjue out, he immediately informed Mu Liangchen of the situation here.
Mu Liangchen had guessed as much. Although he hadn't interacted with Di Mingjue, he knew about his methods from external rumors.
Di Mingjue left, and immediately after, Di Ruihe, who had been waiting in the car, entered the company.
"What? Another one?" Wu Jie, hearing Alice's report, waved his hand with a splitting headache. "Tell him to leave, say I'm not here."
As Alice opened the door, Di Ruihe looked into the room at Wu Jie through the gap.
Everyone knew his status was inferior to Di Mingjue and Di Dongsheng. Even Wu Jie looked down on him and was unwilling to see him.
"CEO Wu!" Di Ruihe greeted from a distance.
Since he had been seen, saying he wasn't there would be too much of a slap in the face. Alice turned to look at Wu Jie, who was rubbing his temples, awaiting his instructions.
"I have a video conference. Please take Mr. Di to the adjacent reception room to wait for a while," Wu Jie instructed.
Whether it was a real conference or a fake one, Di Ruihe could tell. However, since he had come to visit, he wouldn't care how long he had to wait.
Arriving at the reception room, Alice placed tea and snacks in front of him. After a polite explanation, she left him alone.
"CEO Wu, should we let him wait indefinitely?" Alice asked as she returned to the office.
At that moment, the entire reception room was displayed on the computer screen. Wu Jie watched Di Ruihe comfortably browsing his phone, feeling inexplicably anxious.
Would he not leave if he didn't get to see him?
The conjecture quickly became reality.
Time ticked by, and cup after cup of coffee was consumed. Di Ruihe went to the restroom three times, never once hurrying him, as if they were competing to see who could endure longer.
Wu Jie slapped his forehead, his eyes sore and blurry from watching.
"Forget it, bring him over," Wu Jie conceded.
Soon, Alice brought him into the office.
"I'm sorry to have kept Mr. Di waiting," Wu Jie said politely.
Di Ruihe didn't mind at all. Instead, he praised, "Your company's coffee is good. I've had several cups."
Was this an expression of his dissatisfaction?
Wu Jie thought about it, then looked up to observe his expression. Their eyes met, and he smiled sheepishly. "May I ask why Mr. Di is looking for me?"
"It's about cooperation," Di Ruihe said. "Dongsheng is abroad, and I'd like to take over the project you were cooperating on with him."
"Doesn't Mr. Di know?" Wu Jie, relieved, retorted excitedly.
His question confused Di Ruihe. "Know what?"
"CEO Di was just here. He has already canceled the cooperation. That project is no longer managed by Di Jue Group, so there's no need for you, Mr. Di, to follow up."
No wonder!
Di Ruihe's eyes dimmed. He wondered why Di Mingjue would visit Wu Corp amidst his busy schedule. Hmph, he was really fast!
"Can't we cooperate anymore?" he asked, unwilling to give up.
Wu Jie appeared to be in a difficult position.
