"Why? Why should I give up? Do you think that young punk's a better man than I am?" Wang Ming said angrily.
Wang Enterprise's wealth and influence might not compare with that of Mufan Group, but it was still a powerful company that domineered the market.
As the general manager of the company, Wang Ming was naturally proud of his accomplishments.
He might grudgingly accept the fact that he was not Qiu Mu-Cheng's equal, but he couldn't accept one of his most loyal staff implying that he was no better than a hooligan. He was naturally furious.
In his eyes, Ye Fan was no better than a hooligan and a good-for-nothing.
A person with excellent upbringing would not have behaved like a flippant and superficial cad.
Wang Ming expected the old man before him to apologize immediately after what he had said.
He did not expect the latter to shake his head and sigh. "Young Master, truth be told, that young man is a better man than you are.”
"You!" Wang Ming was ready to blow up.
"Please don't get worked up. I'm not trying to put you down. You're not the only one who cannot compare with him. No one in Jiangdong can."
Wang Ming froze. "Are you telling me that he's..."
The old man nodded before Wang Ming could utter Ye Fan's name.
"That's right. He's Mr Chu, the man who rules Jiangdong. Qiu Mu-Cheng, the CEO of Mufan Group is his wife. Do you really think you stand a chance of stealing Mr Chu's wife from him?" said the old man slowly, his wry smile revealing his exasperation.
Wang Enterprise had only ventured into Jiangdong recently. In the past, the old man had been the one who had represented Wang Enterprise during business meetings with Mufan Group. Wang Ming had only arrived at Jiangdong the day before.
He was unaware of many things going on in the province.
The old man before him clearly knew more than he did.
Otherwise, the old man wouldn't have tried to stop Wang Ming when the latter had tried to express his interest in Qiu Mu-Cheng. He had been worried that Wang Ming might get himself in trouble.
Fortunately, Mr Chu was a forgiving man who had not put Wang Ming in a tough spot.
Should Mr Chu insist on pursuing the matter, Wang Enterprise would be forced to give in and make a public apology.
This wasn't their turf, after all.
Besides, Wang Enterprise was no match for Mr Chu, who had vast resources and an
array of means at his disposal.
"Is he really Mr Chu? But he's really young!”
Wang Ming was frozen to the spot as he stared into the distance with wide eyes. He appeared to be scared witless.
