President Liu certainly couldn't relay everything that Tong Yunyu had said behind her words, sticking to the preposterous sounding figure of forty-five million.
President Zhang's immediate urge to curse was choked back.
"How, how much? Forty-five million? Has that woman gone mad? How dare she ask for that much!"
There really are all sorts of people in the world, some with such audacity!
To put it bluntly, that amount of money could buy her entire family's lives!
"So, President Zhang, what do you suggest I do? If I don't pay up, they won't agree to the terms and will just slam the table, walk away, and tell me to go negotiate with Tang Fangjing instead. But who doesn't know what kind of person Tang Fangjing is."
No matter what, deflect the blame first, it's Tong Yunyu's outrageous demand, not my problem.
President Zhang was in a difficult position; it wasn't President Liu's fault, but... the deal wasn't done.
