People who are familiar with him know that he easily loses his memory when he is drunk. Without evidence, Qu Tao really has a hard time refutating what Assistant Wang said.

"What's the call about?"

After being reminded, Assistant Wang finally remembered the important matter.

"Mr. Qu, someone from Difeng is here to discuss the liquidated damages. Would it be convenient for you to come over now?"

"How much is the liquidated damages? Just pay it according to the amount in the contract. What's there to negotiate?"

From yesterday till now, Qu Tao has been filled with rage and has been speaking in a very rude tone.

Assistant Wang glanced at Xi Mozhou in the conference room through the glass window on the door and lowered his voice.

"Mr. Qu, Mr. Xi is here too. He wants to talk to you in person."

"No, let him go."

Qu Tao said that he made me angry both in dreams and in reality, and then hung up the phone immediately.

He was originally planning to walk around the room, but a phone call ruined his mood.

Thinking of Han Feng who had abandoned him and run away last night, Qu Tao called him as he walked out.

"Where?"

On the other end of the phone, Han Feng's voice sounded pitiful.

"Taozi, I was captured and taken back to Yuncheng."

"Ah..." Qu Tao was stunned for a moment, then laughed and joked, "We're having our wedding night today?"

"That's not the case."

"Okay, let me know when you're going to have a wedding."

Thinking that Xi Mozhou was sailing far away, Qu Tao went back to the apartment, took a shower, cooked a bowl of noodles, and dawdled for a long time before going to the company.

As soon as he came out of the elevator, Assistant Wang came to greet him as if he had been waiting for a long time.

"Mr. Qu, you are finally here."

"Hasn't anyone left yet?"

"Yeah, still in the conference room."

"Which conference room? Take me there."

This man made him feel ignored at the banquet last night, and bullied him in his dream and didn't give him anything, so he just wanted to vent his anger.

"Xi Mozhou, what do you mean? You're not done teasing me, are you?"

As soon as the door of the conference room was pushed open, Qu Tao immediately yelled. Seeing the crowded room, he was stunned for a moment, then turned around and glared at Assistant Wang behind him.

"There are so many people here, why didn't you tell me earlier? Do you want me to send you to Africa?"

"I...."

Assistant Wang felt a little aggrieved. He had not expected that his CEO would do such a thing, so he secretly asked Xi Mozhou for help.

"Mr. Qu, you're so angry, did you not sleep well last night? I have some heat-reducing tea. If you don't mind, come with me to get it later."

When Qu Tao heard him mention last night, he became even angrier and pulled the stool next to him and sat down.

"Mr. Xi, please tell me what you want to talk about. I have something else to do later."

"what's up?"

What's going on? Is it your business? Qu Tao looked at the people in the conference room and swallowed his words.

"Private matter, Mr. Xi, please get down to business."

"Okay, let's talk business first, then personal matters."

Xi Mozhou pushed the documents on the table in front of him.

"Regarding liquidated damages, the law stipulates that they cannot exceed 30% of the contract amount. I heard that the contract your Yuanhang Group signed today increased the liquidated damages by 10%?"

"This is our company's business. Does it have anything to do with you, President Xi?"

Qu Tao pushed the document towards him and pushed it back without even looking at it. Xi Mozhou coughed lightly to moisten his throat.

"Look, from now on, any contract signed by your Yuanhang Group will be taken over by our Difeng Group. To avoid unnecessary trouble in the future, we hope that your company can change the penalty back to the original 30%."

I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen anyone so shameless. Qu Tao could no longer bear it. He hooked his finger at Xi Mozhou, waited for the person to lean towards him, and whispered in his ear.

"Xi Mozhou, tell me, if you bankrupt me, what good will it do you?"

"The benefits are huge, but right now... I can't tell you."

"Bah! I won't change. Go ahead and sue me if you dare."

"Because of our past friendship, I'm reluctant to sue you, but these people in the conference room are all from the company's legal department. It's hard to say whether they will sue you or not."

"Xi Mozhou, are you threatening me? Do you believe that a desperate dog will jump over the wall? I will smash your window in the middle of the night?"

"I'd love to hear that. I'll wait for you tonight."

It’s impossible to reason with a scoundrel, especially a rich scoundrel.

Qu Tao stepped back, glanced at everyone at the conference table, and looked at Assistant Wang.

"Notify the secretariat to adjust the contract penalty back to the original 30%."

Assistant Wang received the order and left, and Qu Tao stood up from the conference table.

"Okay, now that the matter is settled, I have something to do, so I'll leave first."

"Wait."

Xi Mozhou pulled him back to his seat, and Qu Tao glared at him irritably.

"Boss Xi, is there anything else?"

"Mr. Qu, are you so forgetful? I just said that we've finished discussing official matters, let's talk about personal matters."

"I have nothing personal to tell you."

Xi Mozhou stared at him and smiled meaningfully.

"I have some tea to cool down your body, don't you want to come with me?"

"Don't go."

"But I really want to send you off, what should I do?"

"No, keep it for yourself," Qu Tao said, standing up again. "If there's nothing else, I'll be leaving first."

Xi Mozhou held his arm and winked at the people in the conference room. Seeing that everyone stood up and walked out one by one, Qu Tao tried to break free from his hand that was restraining his arm.

"Xi Mozhou, what do you want to do? Let me go immediately."

There were only two of them left in the conference room. Xi Mozhou let go of him and raised the corner of his lips.

"Didn't you sleep well last night?"

"None of your business."

"I didn't sleep well either. I dreamed about you last night and you kept asking me for you all night."

Why is this dream so similar to the one he had, Qu Tao asked subconsciously.

"and then?"

"I didn't."

Qu Tao looked at his smug expression and unconsciously clenched his fists.

"Did you go to Yilin Apartment last night?"

"No, did you go?"

"Why should I go? I'm not going."

After Qu Tao finished answering, he realized that he had diverted the topic.

"You really didn't go?"

"You don't live there anymore, why should I go there?"

Okay, it seems that he was really overthinking it. Qu Tao was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand towards Xi Mozhou.

"Settle the appearance fee."

"What's the appearance fee?"

"You dreamed of me last night, shouldn't you give me an appearance fee?"

Xi Mozhou looked at the white and slender fingers in front of him, reached out and held them in his palm.

"Let's eat together. I'll give it to you later."

"No, the meal is a separate price. Besides, didn't you say last night that I can't afford to curry favor with you? Why are we still having dinner together?"

"Now you can fawn over me."

"It's too late. I won't flatter you anymore. Hurry up and give me the money."

As Qu Tao spoke, he tried to shake off the hand he was holding, but Xi Mozhou held it tighter, lowered his head and smiled.

"I don't have any money, but I have plenty of heat-reducing tea. Do you want some?"
