The next day, in Quan Jingzhou’s office at the Quan Corporation.

Quan Jingzhou sat in front of the sofa and looked at Yan Zhengchen and the rest who had suddenly come to visit. His lips curled into a polite smile as he looked at everyone and asked curiously, “May I know why everyone has suddenly come to visit?”

“We’re here to discuss serious matters with Mr. Quan. First of all, I would like to congratulate Mr. Quan on your success in the bridge project with ZF,” Yan Zhengchen said calmly in an official tone.

Quan Jingzhou was so proud that he nearly flew into the sky.

He believed that Yan Zhengchen had specially come to congratulate him after seeing his success!

Quan Jingzhou didn’t have to be polite or humble to these juniors. He smiled. “I’m the chairman of the Quan Corporation. This small project isn’t a problem for me.”

“The project is indeed not difficult for Mr. Quan. However, our investment seems to have helped Mr. Quan a lot,” Shen Liao said indifferently, making it impossible to hear the deeper meaning behind his words.

Quan Jingzhou was a little annoyed and vigilant. He tried to guess why Shen Liao would suddenly mention this.

Could it be that they wanted to rely on their investment to ask for a share of the profits?

Quan Jingzhou’s heart tightened and he immediately put on a serious expression. “You’ve already said last time that you were willing to invest because you believed in us. We’ve already discussed our terms. If you still want my company to include your names on the bridge, don’t even think about asking for a share of the profits. After all, our Quan Corporation doesn’t need your investment.”

“We’re relieved to hear that, Mr. Quan,” Gong Lu said with a smile.

Quan Jingzhou looked at him and suddenly had an extremely bad premonition. “What do you mean by that?”

“We were originally very worried that our sudden withdrawal would affect you negatively, Mr. Quan. But from the looks of it now, we were clearly overthinking things. Since the Quan Corporation doesn’t lack money, we can withdraw our investments without worry,” Chi Yexi said matter-of-factly with a relieved expression.

When Quan Jingzhou heard the words “withdraw our investments”, he thought something was wrong with his ears. “Are you kidding me? You were the ones who begged me to let you invest back then. Now, you’re withdrawing your investment just like that. Do you think our collaboration is a joke?”

“Mr. Quan, is there a need to be so agitated? Didn’t you say that Quan Corporation doesn’t need our funds?” Yan Zhengchen sneered.

Quan Jingzhou almost choked to death.

He did say that, but he was just trying to puff himself up! He was originally worried that Yan Zhengchen and the rest would want a share of the profits after seeing that the project was going well.

However, they didn’t want a share of the profits. Instead, they wanted to withdraw their investments!

“Uncle Quan, did you deliberately pretend to be rich just to deceive us?” Shen Liao knew that Quan Jingzhou was pretending, but he still asked this question to mock him.
