"..." Ning Rongyue thought she had heard wrong.
Li Bing, the director of the Ruiyin Investment Department, was famous in the industry for his meticulous work. It was unprecedented for him to suddenly stand someone up for a negotiation and speak so bluntly that it left one unable to save face.
It was precisely because she knew the temperament of Ruiyin's investment director that she had arrived early.
That phrase, "Sorry to have kept you waiting," was nothing but a polite remark.
"Does Director Li have other matters?" Ning Rongyue felt somewhat embarrassed but still maintained a proper smile.
"It's okay. If Director Li is too busy today, we can reschedule."
Her words were appropriate, leaving no room for criticism.
The awkward atmosphere, created by a single sentence from Li Bing's secretary, had eased somewhat.
Who knew that, in the next moment, the words the other party spoke would directly shatter the atmosphere Ning Rongyue had struggled to create.
