"President, what do you mean? I am loyal to Thunderbolt Corp and no one else . Why would I be investing in another company?"
Huang Dong tried to explain himself . Cold sweat rolled down his back as he faced Huo Yunting's unreadable expression .
Huo Yunting kept a thin smile on his face that told nothing about what he really felt inside .
Given the circumstances and the accusation he was facing, it was hard not to think about the things he had done .
Had Huo Yunting found him out?
"I see, that's a shame . I thought President Du's project is not bad . I would have agreed to work with him had he not offended me . Does this mean . . . that you will not be working with him, Huang Dong? Will I get the chance to change my mind about his project?"
Huo Yunting raised an eyebrow . "Secretary Lu, inform President Du about this . Tell him I'm inviting him to golf tomorrow and discuss about the cooperation between our companies . I have no problem with financing the project . "
"Yes, sir . " Lu Zhaoyang picked up her bag and walked outside .
Huang Dong watched her leave without a word . How did Huo Yunting find out what I was doing with President Du?
For now, he could only accept and go along with whatever the president was planning .
Lu Zhaoyang returned soon enough with a thin smile on her face . "Sir, President Du said he had already signed an agreement with Huang Dong . However, if you are willing to pay the penalty of him backing out of the agreement, he is happy to discuss about cooperating with Thunderbolt Corp . "
"President, it wasn't me! That person is not me!"
Huang Dong stood up and shook his head to express his innocence .
Lu Zhaoyang returned to her seat with a professional smile on her face . "Why are you so agitated, Huang Dong? Do you not understand what the president is saying? Thunderbolt Corp never specified that its shareholders cannot get involved in other projects . What the president is saying is that if you need help, he is happy to provide you with support in terms on finance and connections . "
She had begun to understand what Huo Yunting was trying to achieve when she stepped outside to make the call .
Huang Dong could hardly believe Lu Zhaoyang . He looked at Huo Yunting discreetly . Is that what he meant?
Huo Yunting hummed in agreement . "I bear some responsibility for your situation as well . The shareholders must find their dividends lacking if you're thinking about starting another venture . You are one of the company's oldest stakeholders, and you deserve all the financial and social support I can offer . "
Huo Yunting raised his glass and took a sip . "Please consider it, Huang Dong . The money will be ready for you . "
"I wouldn't dare to ask for such a favor, Mr President!"
Huang Dong raised his glass and finished it in one gulp, now beginning to believe that Huo Yunting was genuine in making his offer .
He had been very careful . Surely no one would know about what he had done .
"The truth is, I have earned enough from Thunderbolt Corp, or I'll never have enough to invest in another project, right? However, your help will be greatly appreciated, Mr President . I will surely repay the company once I get a return from my investment!"
Huang Dong refilled his glass and finished it again .
He seemed very excited by the offer .
"I have a great idea for you . 'Emperor' sounds like a good word . It will be perfect for the name of your company . Huang Dong must like the word very much too to have chosen this name to start your new venture . "
Huo Yunting said almost casually .
When Huang Dong heard the word "Emperor", he was so shaken that he dropped his drink . The wine glass crashed onto the floor like a bomb in their silent private dining room .
