When Han Lie readily agreed, it wasn't just that the secret plan was thrown into disarray; Old Wu and Su Xiao were also left reeling.
What left Old Wu reeling was that he had no bargaining chips.
What left Su Xiao reeling was his reluctance to part with the bargaining chips he held.
Huang Sanshi didn't care much; he actually had business ideas, so he dared not entrust Han Lie with his limited capital. If he could just get a quota of 5,000,000, it would be enough for him at the moment.
The most infuriated was Second Sister Jin. She had finally orchestrated a situation, intending to tempt Han Lie with wealth and, separately, to seduce him with her charms, but then...
Well! She botched it completely!
Peng Hu and Han Lie were both out of her sphere of influence, showing her no deference as they blatantly went for a private offline chat.
Peng Hu's influence in the cultural circle was firmer than the entire Jin Family combined; there was nothing she could do.
