Chapter 1270: Chapter 1270: Original Sin (4)

Ye Qilan stood up and walked over to Chairman Zhao, looking down on him condescendingly: “Chairman Zhao, since our cooperation is hopeless, farewell.”

“Mr. Ding, please wait a moment. Since you are here, why not have a couple of drinks before you go?” Chairman Zhao said, winking at two beauties not far away.

The two women got the hint and approached Ye Qilan with glasses in hand.

Unfortunately, before they could even touch Ye Qilan’s clothes, they were frozen by his cold gaze. For a moment, they stood petrified, not daring to come any closer to Ye Qilan.

“What are you standing there for? Hurry up and toast Mr. Ding!” Chairman Zhao barked.

The two women snapped out of it, attempting to play the same trick again.

Ye Qilan frowned in annoyance: “Seduction and alcohol won’t work on me. Keep these low tactics for someone else.”

After he spoke, he walked to the door of the private room, turned back to look at Chairman Zhao, and said emphatically: “By the way, Chairman Zhao, I am quite narrow-minded. Coming here for nothing makes me uncomfortable, and I really want to vent my anger on someone.”

“What do you mean by that, Mr. Ding?”

Before Chairman Zhao could finish speaking, Ye Qilan had already approached him. Grabbing his throat, Chairman Zhao struggled to breathe for a moment, his face turning pale with fright.

The next moment, Ye Qilan released his grip, pushing him away a little, and smiled nonchalantly: “Just a little joke, it didn’t scare you, did it?”

Chairman Zhao was too scared to speak, staring at Ye Qilan dumbfounded.

He really thought this man was going to kill him, and he seemed to have smelled the scent of death.

“Chairman Zhao, we shall meet again if fate allows.” Ye Qilan patted Chairman Zhao’s face and walked out of the private room with graceful steps.

Once Ye Qilan left, everyone who was dumbstruck began to recover, rushing to comfort Chairman Zhao: “Chairman Zhao, are you okay?”

Coming back to his senses like waking from a dream, Chairman Zhao forced a stiff smile: “I’m, I’m fine.” His heart was still pounding, he had barely caught his breath.

Seeing how traumatized Chairman Zhao looked, everyone understood. It wasn’t just Chairman Zhao who was terrified; they too were petrified by the domineering and ruthless demeanor of that man.

To deal with such a person, wouldn’t that be courting death?

Before long, Du Qingyu called to inquire about the situation. After Chairman Zhao recounted the events, he commented at the end: “Ding Ye is too arrogant. To ask for a 40% concession, I can’t believe he said that.”

After letting Chairman Zhao vent, Du Qingyu hung up the phone.

Ding Ye, this man, is truly unfathomable. He clearly went to Imperial Capital, yet he made such a huge demand. She remembers that when she was in his office, Ding Ye seemed quite satisfied with her proposal.

Why suddenly make such excessive demands?

This was something Du Qingyu couldn’t figure out no matter how much she thought about it.

That night, Du Qingyu didn’t sleep well. She couldn’t understand why Ding Ye changed his attitude suddenly last night; it seems like the cooperation with Jufeng Group is falling through, isn’t it?

Due to the lack of sleep, she got up later than usual. Seeing that it was getting late, she quickly washed up, went to the garage to get her car, and drove out of her residential community.

As she was approaching an intersection, a cargo truck suddenly came crashing towards her car head-on.

She was terrified and hastily turned the steering wheel, narrowly avoiding a fatal collision at the critical moment. Though she avoided the head-on accident, she still didn’t escape unscathed, inevitably crashing into a sedan next to her.

In the end, her car was severely damaged, and her arm was slightly injured. Of course, it was a stroke of fortune in an unfortunate situation that she herself was unharmed.
