On the day of divorce, my ex-husband begged me to get back together.

Although his tone was still calm, the firmness in his voice had begun to waver.

Chu Mu sneered and raised his voice, "What could be more important than your invitation? I think he did it on purpose, and he doesn't take your project seriously at all. Qi Boyan has always been arrogant, and this time he might have deliberately tried to intimidate you, to let you know that he is not someone you can easily manipulate."

Chu Mu became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he was certain that Qi Baiyan had done it on purpose.

Shule's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water could drip out of it. He shouted angrily: "Don't talk nonsense!"

However, although his voice was stern, the suspicion in his eyes became more and more obvious.

Chu Mu did not stop talking because of Shu Er's scolding. Instead, he continued, "Boss Shu, think about it. Qi Boyan is a leader in the business community of North City. If he says he is second, who dares to say he is first? His style of doing things in the business world has always been to do what he wants. He doesn't care about other people's faces, let alone anyone's feelings. If you don't believe me, ask them?"

The "of course" Chu Muhe mentioned was naturally referring to the heads of other companies present. Hearing such a question, everyone naturally lowered their eyes and dared not say a word. After all, compared to Chu Muhe, they were more unwilling to offend Qi Baiyan.

Although he wanted to have a share of the pie, he didn't want to create hatred with Qi Boyan. After all, meat that was not in his mouth didn't count. But Qi Boyan could easily crush anyone to death in North City.

Chu Muhe was also annoyed and helpless when he saw this. He thought these people were really useless. They were so afraid of Qi Boyan. He was even more dissatisfied in his heart, but he didn't stop talking. He said to Shuer, "This time you invited him to invest, and such a huge benefit was in front of him, but he didn't show up. Maybe he didn't want to at all, but it was difficult to refuse in person, so he deliberately used this method to evade. He may think that your project is too risky, or that you are not strong enough to cooperate with him."

Every word Chu Mu said was like a sharp knife, stabbing straight into the most vulnerable part of Shule's heart.

Shuer remained silent, but his face was very ugly. He glanced at Chu Muhe calmly, and began to think seriously about Chu Mu's words. He recalled his past interactions with Qi Baiyan. Qi Baiyan rarely relied on others, and always made his way in the business world with his own abilities and means.

Although Qi Boyan agreed to this invitation readily, he has not shown up yet. Could it be that, as Chu Mu said, he really doesn't want to participate in this project at all?

As time went by, the atmosphere in the club became more and more depressing. Shul's mood also changed from initial expectation to anger and suspicion.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the room, his hands clenched into fists.

Chu Mu continued to fan the flames: "Boss Shu, I think Qi Boyan just doesn't take you seriously. You have put so much effort into this project and invited so many powerful partners, but he doesn't respect you. Maybe he has colluded with other competitors and deliberately stood you up, putting your project in trouble."

Shule stopped, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and said: "If this is the case, I will never let him go!"

Chu Mu quickly agreed, "That's right, Mr. Shu, you can't let him bully us like this. We have to think of a way to deal with it, and we can't let him ruin our good deeds."

At this time, other people in the club also began to whisper, speculating on the reason why Qi Baiyan did not come.

All kinds of rumors filled the air, and naturally some people were worried, but because Shule was still there, they could only whisper.

But Shule's face looked even uglier, and his mood was very bad.

Just when the atmosphere was getting gloomy, Shure's assistant hurried in.

The assistant said in a neither loud nor soft voice: "Boss Shu, there is still no news about Qi Boyan, and the phone call is not working."

Shule's rage was completely ignited. He kicked over the chair next to him and yelled, "What the hell is Qi Baiyan doing!"

Chu Mu took the opportunity to say, "Boss Shu, in my opinion, we can't wait for him any longer. Let's start discussing the project first. We can't let him waste everyone's time and plans." Shu Er gritted his teeth, thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's start first."

So, everyone in the club started discussing the project, and Shure asked his assistant to briefly convey his ideas to everyone present.

Just as everyone began to discuss the project, Shule's mood was still restless. He looked towards the door from time to time, still expecting Qi Boyan to appear.

Chu Mu actively participated in the discussion, trying to highlight his importance in the process.

However, the bosses of other companies seemed a little absent-minded. After all, Qi Boyan's absence filled them with doubts and uneasiness.

"Mr. Shule, I think we can re-plan the funding allocation for this project," said Chu Mu.

Shu Er frowned and responded impatiently: "Let's proceed with the original plan first, and make adjustments after Qi Boyan arrives."

Chu Mu was secretly unhappy in his heart, but he still nodded in agreement on the surface.

At this time, a business owner couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Shuer, Mr. Qi hasn't shown up yet. Will it have any impact on the project?"

Shul's face darkened. "What impact can it have? The project can still proceed without him!"

Although he said this, Shule still had some concerns in his heart.

At the same time, some people questioned: "President Qi hasn't come yet, so let's wait a little longer. It feels like we are unsure without President Qi."

Shure's assistant had already started distributing contracts to everyone for signature, but because Qi Boyan was not there, some people were reluctant to start, while some who were ready to put pen to paper backed off when they saw this.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

Seeing this, Shuer said in a bad tone: "Since you are here tonight, it means you have agreed to cooperate. Whether Qi Baiyan comes or not, you must sign."

"Mr. Shule, you can't force us like this."

"Yeah, don't we all have to volunteer? Aren't you forcing us?"

"If that's the case, then I don't think there's any need to stay any longer."

After saying that, several people prepared to get up and leave.

But just as he stood up, the door of the private room was suddenly pushed open, and several men in black came in. They were tall and mighty, and it was obvious that they were skilled in martial arts.

Shule sat on the sofa and said calmly, "I wonder who can leave this room without signing today?"

Shuer looked at the person in front of him indifferently. The cruelty in his eyes was clear and even Chu Muhe trembled slightly when he saw it, and some bad thoughts arose in his heart. (End of this chapter)
