213: Deliberately looking for trouble

Perhaps while Lin Jia was speaking, Liu Zhi noticed her presence and subconsciously turned his head to ask his assistant.

“Have you seen this woman before? She looks a bit unfamiliar, but she is quite pretty.”

There was a hint of wickedness in his eyes, and the assistant shook his head slightly.

“General Manager Liu, I haven't seen her before, and I don't know who she is.”

As he thought, Liu Zhi felt that what he wanted had always been something no one could contend for.

So he turned back, intending to properly strike up a conversation with Lin Jia.

Meanwhile, Lin Jia was still complaining to Su Yue about this matter, completely unaware that Liu Zhi was already walking towards her.

“Actually, I hate people like this the most. They rely on others' power. If others didn't see him as Lius Group's crown prince, why would they respect him so much?”

She wasn't paying attention to the surroundings while speaking, and when she looked up again, she found that Liu Zhi was standing in front of her.

Lin Jia stood with her arms crossed over her chest, staring at him with a helpless expression for a long time before speaking.

“Didn't General Manager Liu leave because he had something to do just now? Why are you back now?”

“If there's something you haven't finished, why don't you let me help General Manager Liu?”

There was a hint of sarcasm in her words, which everyone nearby heard, but who knew that when Liu Zhi saw that she was a beauty, he immediately went for it.

“I don't have anything to do. I just wanted to invite you for a drink. It's too noisy here. Let's go to that quiet place over there and have a good chat.”

As soon as he said this, Lin Jia, no longer planning to give him any face, smiled coldly.

“It's not that General Manager Liu took a fancy to me, but I do have a little doubt. Can General Manager Liu look in the mirror and see what he looks like?”

“I'm not just anyone. Not every Tom, Dick, or Harry can come and hit on me.”

As soon as he heard this, Liu Zhi's face instantly changed. He still had some capability and was always respected outside. This was the first time he had heard someone say such words.

“What do you mean? I'm giving you face. Don't be ungrateful. I have plenty of women like you around me.”

The two were at loggerheads, neither willing to back down. Lin Jia looked at everyone present, thinking about the injustice the person just now had suffered.

She just wanted to help that person get some satisfaction: “When you are bullying others by relying on your power, have you ever thought about how others would feel?”

“Selfish people like you shouldn't possess everything you have now. Try experiencing the hardships they've gone through, and see if you can still be so arrogant today!”

A fierce argument erupted between the two, attracting the attention of those nearby, who began to discuss amongst themselves.

“This Liu Zhi has always been unreliable in his actions. Now he's met a more upright girl who isn't giving him an inch.”

And those nearby echoed: “I think Liu Zhi deserves this now. If he had been more restrained, he wouldn't have been scolded like this by this girl.”

Old Sha also heard that something was happening over here. He walked towards them with a cold expression.

Realizing that something bad might happen, everyone was secretly discussing.

“I think Lius Group's contract with Far View (Yuantu) definitely can't be signed today. Look at his arrogant manner; I guess Far View (Yuantu) hates people like this the most!”

Although they said this, they weren't Old Sha, so how could they know what others were thinking?

Lin Jia indeed didn't back down at all: “General Manager Liu, I've said everything I needed to say. The unpleasant, the disagreeable, what you don't want to hear, what you dislike hearing, I've told you all of it. As for whether you're willing to accept it, that's your business!”

Many people nearby admired Lin Jia's courage to question the Lius Group's crown prince in front of so many people.

“If we could be like her, we wouldn't have suffered so much injustice over the years.”

Just as everyone was discussing, Old Sha had already walked over, saw the situation, and fell into deep thought.

He coughed lightly and asked: “What's going on? Why is there a quarrel for no reason?”

Old Sha's face was still very cold. At this moment, Liu Zhi seized the opportunity. He believed that if Far View (Yuantu)'s reputation outside was ruined, then their Lius Group would have a chance.

So he counterattacked, putting on a pitiful look: “You're finally here. Please uphold justice for me. I just came to communicate with them about the cooperation with Far View (Yuantu), who knew I would be insulted by them.”

“I won't argue about this matter with everyone. Just now, Su Yue incited everyone not to buy Far View (Yuantu)'s intelligence, basically saying that Far View (Yuantu) is just out to make money!”

Liu Zhi hoped that his words would give Old Sha a bad impression of Su Yue.

“Anyway, I've already stated what happened just now. Speak up, so many people are watching. You can't let this person keep slandering Far View (Yuantu).”

After speaking, he looked at Su Yue with a condescending look, as if everything now had to revolve around their Lius Group.

Lin Jia suddenly wished she could go up and tear him apart with her own hands: “You're just spouting nonsense! You're being unreasonable and slandering others!”

After hearing these words, Old Sha's expression remained very solemn. In his heart, he had already gotten an answer.

The other party stood still, not moving at all. Seeing this situation, Liu Zhi began to get anxious and spoke up to ask.

“Is there something I said wrong? Or did I not explain the matter clearly just now?”

“If there's anything you're confused about, you can ask me. These people aren't truly sincere about cooperating with Far View (Yuantu). Only our Lius Group came with genuine sincerity!”

Who knew that what Old Sha did next surprised everyone nearby, even Liu Zhi widened his eyes in disbelief.

At this moment, Old Sha looked at Su Yue with a hint of joy in his eyes, but he had previously thought that he shouldn't reveal his identity here.

So he didn't say anything about it, then turned his head to look at Liu Zhi and sighed helplessly.

He mocked this person in his heart, thinking he was so foolish to question Su Yue in front of so many people. This was equivalent to lifting a rock only to drop it on his own feet.

And people from several companies nearby, in order to blow the matter up and also to gain the protection of Lius Group, didn't hesitate to come forward and slander Su Yue.

“I think this matter can be decided. What was said just now is true. General Manager Liu didn't fabricate anything. Su Yue was simply being greatly disrespectful to Far View (Yuantu)!”

More and more people nearby started echoing: “Yes, one should always treat others fairly. If you don't want to buy intelligence, you don't have to, but why slander others in such a way?”

And those small businesses nearby, having no capability or personnel, stood rooted to the spot, not daring to move.

Soon, someone directed the spearhead towards them: “These small businesses have been standing here, wavering about buying intelligence, and it's precisely because of what Su Yue said just now that they completely confirmed their desire to give up!”

Listening to everyone's rambling explanations, Old Sha nodded slightly.

“I think I understand what you mean.”

At this moment, Liu Zhi's face was full of the joy of victory. He thought he would achieve complete victory in the next second.

What Lin Jia disliked the most was Liu Zhi's arrogant manner just now, believing that Far View (Yuantu) must have its own unique judgment and would never be misled by the few words he said.

“Do you think everyone will believe the few lies you told? Don't be ridiculous. Those who helped you testify just now are just your pawns!”

But Liu Zhi still looked at them with a mocking gaze, only returning to his normal expression before Old Sha turned back.

Old Sha's attitude remained calm from beginning to end. He knew what Su Yue's identity was.

Furthermore, he hadn't finalized the ultimate list. This cooperation with Far View (Yuantu) was originally voluntary; some were willing, some were not.

There was no intention of coercion. If those small businesses had ideas, they could inquire at any time, and if not, their wishes should also be respected.

What Liu Zhi was saying now was just making excuses for himself. Old Sha saw through this at a glance.

It was just that in front of so many people, it was inconvenient to expose him.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Liu Zhi tried to continue slandering. After all, the more he exaggerated and added fuel to the fire about the matters here, the more Far View (Yuantu) would definitely believe that everything he said was true.

“I think a decision needs to be made quickly, otherwise, causing a bad influence among the crowd and affecting the cooperation between other companies and Far View (Yuantu) would be penny wise and pound foolish.”

Hearing this, Old Sha raised his head, looked at him with cold eyes for a long time, and then asked.

“Is what you said just now based on facts? Do you dare to swear that everything you said is true?”

At this moment, Lin Jia also echoed from the side: “Yes, do you dare to admit that everything you said just now is true?”

Liu Zhi's eyes were clearly a little flustered as he looked at the companies that were being slandered nearby.

“That's how it is. They didn't truly want to cooperate with Far View (Yuantu), which is why they're making such a fuss.”

There was a stalemate for a while, everyone sticking to their own words, including the companies that were helping Liu Zhi speak.

They now also had their own unique opinions: “I think Far View (Yuantu) should treat this matter as an incident for today.”

But how to do it wasn't something that these bystanders could point fingers and decide.

Old Sha coughed lightly a few times, and everyone present fell silent, no one speaking.

At this moment, he suddenly pointed at the few people who had just framed Su Yue's company and sighed helplessly.

“I'm really sorry, but we've decided not to continue cooperating with you.”

As soon as these words came out, they caused an uproar in the crowd, and those few people had already widened their eyes in disbelief.

“How is that possible? Why won't Far View (Yuantu) cooperate with us? We are on your side!”

More and more people echoed and clamored, demanding an explanation.

“No matter how high the price is, we can afford it. As long as Far View (Yuantu) speaks up, we can deliver it to your door!”

But money is not omnipotent and cannot solve everything.

Old Sha looked at their faces and just smiled coldly, responding with one sentence.

“Perhaps everyone is still unclear and doesn't understand why I would say such a thing.”

“Because Far View (Yuantu) doesn't like people who gossip behind others' backs. Some truths are right in front of you, why try to hide them in every way?”

And those few companies felt very wronged. If they had known this, they wouldn't have helped Liu Zhi speak.

“How were we supposed to know what happened? We just judged based on General Manager Liu's one-sided words.”

“If Far View (Yuantu) also refuses to cooperate with us based on our one-sided words, wouldn't that be a bit too arbitrary!”

Everyone was very confused by what Old Sha said, but his attitude was exceptionally firm.

“But I'm sorry, I think I've already made it very clear. You should seek help elsewhere.”

Someone heard some clues in the words just spoken behind his back. He frowned tightly, believing that there were too many suspicious points about this Old Sha.

He pushed through the crowd and came forward, asking: “I have a question, I wonder if you can answer it for me?”

Old Sha nodded: “Just say whatever you have to say, there's no need to hide.”

Looking at the other person's eyes, he knew they were not friendly, and Old Sha was already prepared to face various confrontations.

There was a hint of a smile in that person's eyes as he asked curiously: “I heard what you said just now, constantly bringing up Far View (Yuantu)? So, are you Far View (Yuantu)?”

As soon as these words came out, the crowd was in an uproar. They couldn't believe it. Could it be that this person in front of them had borrowed someone else's identity?

“But I guess Far View (Yuantu) should be an organization, but what kind of organization is it? What kind of intricate system does it have behind it?”

The naked questions had touched upon the organization's privacy. Old Sha smiled coldly and took a step back.

“I'm really sorry, I cannot answer the question you asked. You also don't need to know who I am. I think all of this has nothing to do with you either.”

“To survive in this world, you don't always have to carry a 'Why' book. As the old saying goes, curiosity killed the cat!”

And that person hadn't realized the seriousness of the matter, still maintaining a cynical attitude.

“Is this how Far View (Yuantu) treats others? Just now you were speaking with reason and evidence, how did you turn around and target me?”

Old Sha felt that he had wasted enough time here and didn't have time to continue talking nonsense with him.

“No matter what, prying into privacy like this is offending Far View (Yuantu). I have no other reason to stand here and provide you with any clues!”

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present believed that Old Sha's identity was indeed beyond doubt.
