At the beginning, he was mistakenly identified as the person receiving the certificate by the boss.

On Monday, Fang Yan followed Lu Chengze to the company to work.

But when she arrived at the company, Fang Yan felt that the atmosphere was much more tense than usual.

The first thing Lu Chengze did when he went to work was to convene a meeting with the heads of various departments in the company.

Fang Yan was still arranged to sit in the corner by Lu Chengze.

After the meeting, Fang Yan finally understood that it was because of Zeren's series of actions overseas that the European Vanderner family, who had previously cooperated with them on artificial intelligence projects, questioned Zeren's decision-makers and intended to terminate the contract.

During the meeting just now, Zeren's senior executives were quite divided.

Several people believe that they should stop their actions in North America, stop losses immediately, and then try their best to save the artificial intelligence cooperation projects with Europe. Those who insist on this opinion are mainly Director Cheng and the person in charge of the newly established Zeren Technology.

Some people think that the actions in North America cannot stop. Although so far, there has been no benefit there, Zeren has established a strong image in the North American market through a series of recent actions. I believe that no one will dare to offend Zeren easily in the future, which can be regarded as removing obstacles to the development there.

For this project in Europe, Zeren and the other party have already signed a contract. If the other party breaches the contract, it will bear sky-high compensation. Therefore, they think there is no need to worry about the other party terminating the contract.

Lu Chengze will naturally not stop his actions in North America. Seeing that most people supported him, he didn't say much. The North American side passed by majority vote to continue.

As for the Vanderner family, if they are willing to cooperate, they will cooperate, and if they are not willing, they will lose money. Zeren won’t lose anyway.

Just after the meeting ended, Lu Chengze's cell phone rang.

He waved to Fang Yan. After Fang Yan came over, he took Fang Yan to the terrace next to the conference room to answer the phone.

Still speaking English, Fang Yan couldn't hear what was said over there, but she could tell from Lu Chengze's words that he was from Wosuo.

They probably wanted to persuade Lu Chengze to stop, as it was not worth losing both sides. Fang Yan heard Lu Chengze say, "Okay, don't trouble my wife. I'll stop right away."

Probably not reaching an agreement again, Lu Chengze hung up the phone angrily.

One was on the phone and the other was listening intently, but neither noticed a person standing behind the terrace.

After hanging up the phone, Lu Chengze took Fang Yan and prepared to go back to the office. When I walked to the corner of the terrace, I saw Cheng Zi standing there, his eyes full of anger.

Lu Chengze looked at her expression and guessed that she might have heard the content of his phone call just now. But he felt no need to explain anything to her.

After taking one look at her, he pulled Fang Yan and prepared to go back past her.

Cheng Zi raised his hand and stopped the two of them.

"Is it because of her that you are making such a big move in North America?" When she said this, her voice was obviously suppressed. But Fang Yan could still hear the anger hidden in it.

"Cheng Zi, I don't need to explain my personal affairs to you, right?" Lu Chengze's talk with Wosuo's people just broke down, and his tone was not good now.

Cheng Zi gritted his teeth and pointed at Fang Yan.

"You said this is a private matter? How much did the decision you made for her cost the company overseas? I am also a shareholder of the company, why don't I have the right to know?"

After Lu Chengze heard this, he held Fang Yan's hand tightly.

He slapped away the hand pointing at Fang Yan, looked at Cheng Zi coldly, and laughed disdainfully: "Huh! Do you have objections to my decision? Then you can submit a removal proposal to the board of directors!"

"However, before that, I am still Zeren's decision-maker. I don't want to make any explanation for your doubts!"

Cheng Zi's face changed from anger just now to disappointment.

"Chengze, you were not like this before! You said that we, the people, have followed you all the way here and you will not let us down!"

She shook her head as she spoke, and Fang Yan saw that her eyes were a little hazy.

"If you are talking about disappointment because my decision-making does not match your expectations, then I'm sorry, I can only disappoint you!"

As soon as Lu Chengze said this, Cheng Zi couldn't hold himself any longer, and tears flowed down uncontrollably.

Perhaps because she didn't want Fang Yan to see her embarrassment, she raised her hand to wipe the tears from her eyes.

Then he pointed at Fang Yan and asked stubbornly: "We people have been with you for more than 8 years. But what about her, not even 8 months? Lu Chengze, how can you be sure that you will not regret today's decision in the future?" ?”

Being pointed at and said! Fang Yan has never been angry like this since she was a child.

But she can only pretend to be quail now! Silently hiding behind Lu Chengze.

Because, she could see that although Lu Chengze was quite angry at the moment. But this person's status in Lu Chengze's heart is extraordinary!

well! Just be patient, even if it means giving Lu Chengze face.

When Lu Chengze saw Cheng Zi pointing his finger at Fang Yan again, his eyes suddenly became dangerous and his voice lost its warmth.

"Cheng Zi, I won't bother you if I regret it. If you are dissatisfied with my business philosophy, please object through formal channels. If I hear you making irresponsible remarks about my wife again, don't It’s my fault that I don’t miss the friendship between us all starting a business together.”

After Lu Chengze finished speaking, he pulled Fang Yan past her and left directly. Unexpectedly, as soon as he turned around, he saw Cui Yihang standing behind.

Cui Yihang shook his head helplessly at Lu Chengze. Lu Chengze didn't speak to him, only looked at him deeply, and then pulled Fang Yan towards the office.

As soon as Lu Chengze and Fang Yan left, Cheng Zi squatted on the ground, burying his head in tears.

Cui Yihang did not go over, but stood behind her and watched silently. After a while, he sighed and turned to leave.

Go back to the office and close the door. Lu Chengze looked at Fang Yan and consoled her: "Ayan, don't listen to what she said! This matter has nothing to do with you."

What can Fang Yan say? Say you don't have to do this for me? But there is no turning back now.

"Yeah!" She could only nod.

Lu Chengze breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she didn't ask any questions.

After a moment of silence, Fang Yan said again: "I started a business with Cui Yihang and her back then. We had a good relationship at that time. However, now we are just partners, nothing else!"

Is he explaining to her? No need, right? Theirs is not a relationship that needs explanation.

But Fang Yan couldn't say anything, anything she said seemed inappropriate. She has no control over Lu Chengze's emotional problems.

In the end, I had to say "Yeah".

Seeing that she seemed to believe his explanation, Lu Chengze felt more relaxed.

In the afternoon, the Vanderner family released a message on the company's official website. This news caused great shock.

The general meaning is to insinuate dissatisfaction with the new partner and question the ability of the new partner's decision-maker. And vaguely revealed the intention to terminate the contract.

This news was quickly forwarded by many domestic media.

Although he didn't name him by name, there is only one new large-scale partner that Vandner has recently signed, and that is Zeren.

In view of Zeren's recent series of seemingly mad-dog behaviors in North America, many people believe that this is the main reason why the Vanderner family regrets cooperating with them.

Lu Chengze didn't take it too seriously, because it was completely meaningless for Vandner to do this now.

Moreover, Lu Chengze also began to reflect on this family's behavior of turning into an enemy when there was even the slightest hint of rumors. Was it the right choice to cooperate with them? Such partners most likely cannot share risks.

If they really wanted to terminate the contract, they would have to pay for it, and he had no problem with that.

If the contract is not terminated, he will keep a few more backup players in future cooperation to ensure Zeren's interests.

The next day, as soon as Lu Chengze brought Fang Yan to the company, he received a call from Lu Jin.

Lu Chengze pressed the answer button casually. He didn't care at first, thinking he was asking about his company again.

Fang Yan only heard Lu Chengze say "um, um, um" into the phone a few times, and then just said "I know" and hung up.

But Fang Yan clearly felt that the aura around Lu Chengze became dangerous while answering the phone.
