Wan Sicong certainly didn't want to answer the phone at such a critical moment.
But glancing at it and seeing it was his father, Wan Linjian, he dared not neglect it and answered.
"Hello... Dad."
He tried to keep his voice from trembling as much as possible, saying, "What is it? If nothing else, hang up. I'm busy here."
Just as he was about to hang up, Wan Linjian roared into the phone, "What the hell are you doing! Didn't I tell you to talk to President Bai about investment? What are you doing!"
Wan Sicong was startled by Wan Linjian's roar.
But he still suppressed his fear and said, "Dad, Dad, what are you talking about? I'm talking to President Bai right now."
"Don't worry, the investment is on me. I will definitely persuade President Bai and help our group get through this difficult time!"
The reason Wan Sicong said this was because the current situation of the Wan Shi Group was indeed very difficult.
On the surface, they still appeared to be a large enterprise, but in reality, a major crisis had occurred internally, with debts everywhere and the possibility of collapse at any moment.
Wan Sicong had come this time hoping to secure investment from Tian Bao Group to overcome this difficulty.
He thought he could fool Wan Linjian, but then Wan Linjian roared back in an even more enraged tone, "You're talking? Talking my ass!"
"I've just received notification that Tian Bao Group has issued a statement saying they will sanction our company!"
"All investments have been withdrawn! We are completely finished!"
"Tian Bao Group said you, you scoundrel, offended President Bai. Tell me, what exactly did you do when you went there!"
"Ah?!" Wan Linjian's words were like a bolt from the blue to Wan Sicong.
He hurriedly looked at Bai Ruoqi and said incredulously, "President Bai, is this true? Did you sanction my family just now?!"
Bai Ruoqi said coldly, "That's right, who told you to do such a thing?"
"Your Wan Shi Group is completely finished starting today."
"Your family is now in debt of twenty billion. Tell me again, are you still a superior person now?"
Hearing Bai Ruoqi's words, at that moment, Wan Sicong felt as if the sky had turned dark.
He never dreamed that something like this would happen. He was clearly here seeking help, but in the end, he brought about his own destruction!
He knew that if he couldn't resolve this matter today, given the multiple interests involved with the Wan Shi Group, he might not have a good ending!
Therefore, he was so scared that tears streamed down his face. With a runny nose and tears, he said, "President Bai, you can't do this, President Bai! I truly know I was wrong!"
"The Wan Shi Group is the culmination of my grandfather's hard work. I can't let it be ruined in my hands!"
"So, President Bai, please spare me. I'll kowtow to you! Kowtow to you!"
After saying that, Wan Sicong, who had been so arrogant moments ago, actually began to kowtow to Bai Ruoqi.
But Bai Ruoqi didn't care about any of this. She said coldly, "Who can you blame for this? Are you going to blame me?"
"In the end, this is all your own fault."
"Before you came here, you were no longer a young master. Your family was already on the verge of collapse."
"But even so, you were still arrogant and overbearing. This shows that you are not a good person at all."
"With someone like you, your family's business probably isn't much better, is it?"
"Rather than letting you get through this difficult time and continue to act recklessly, it's better to let you be destroyed directly."
"This way, no one will be bullied by you again in the future!"
Bai Ruoqi's words were decisive, leaving no room for negotiation, but Wan Sicong still pleaded desperately.
Bai Ruoqi showed no mercy to him and didn't care how long he would kowtow there. She simply turned and left with Wu Tian, leaving behind only coldness.
Seeing this scene, all the bosses present felt a sense of dread.
Although Bai Ruoqi of Tian Bao Group was just a young woman, her way of doing things was too terrifying, making even these seasoned businessmen fearful.
It would be best to never offend Tian Bao Group in the future, otherwise, they wouldn't even know how they died!
Meanwhile, Wu Tian followed Bai Ruoqi to the office.
Bai Ruoqi said to Wu Tian, "Wu Tian, you encountered such a situation downstairs, why didn't you call me directly?"
"What's the point of talking to scum like that? If you had told me earlier, wouldn't things have been resolved sooner?"
Wu Tian smiled and said, "This is all a small matter. Why bother you?"
"If I can't even handle this little thing, then I might as well not be in this line of work, right?"
As he spoke, a hint of mischief crept into Wu Tian's smile.
"Besides, you are someone's fiancée now. We should maintain some distance, shouldn't we? Lest people gossip."
Bai Ruoqi was slightly taken aback by this remark, and then her pretty face turned red.
She lightly punched Wu Tian's chest and said coquettishly, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"You know perfectly well that it's all fake, yet you still say it. If you keep this up, I'm going to get angry!"
Wu Tian quickly said, "No, no, I was just joking. Calm down, calm down."
"You're never serious," Bai Ruoqi shot Wu Tian a look, then continued, "Where have you been these past few days? I haven't seen you at all."
Wu Tian had no intention of hiding anything and said, "I, I went to Shen Yi Sect."
"What did you say?!" Hearing this, Bai Ruoqi was greatly shocked.
She said incredulously, "You went to Shen Yi Sect? No way?"
Wu Tian had mentioned his background to her before.
Although the specific details were not complete, she could vaguely guess that there must have been some conflict between Wu Tian and Shen Yi Sect.
Wu Tian smiled and said, "Why would I lie to you? I did go to Shen Yi Sect. I came to see you as soon as I got back today."
Bai Ruoqi found it incredibly unbelievable.
She quickly examined Wu Tian's body and then said nervously, "How are you? You should be alright, right?"
Wu Tian shook his head and said, "I'm fine. You don't need to worry."
Bai Ruoqi patted her chest with lingering fear, "It's good that you're fine, it's good that you're fine. But you're too daring. How could you go to Shen Yi Sect?"
"Given your relationship with Shen Yi Sect, aren't you afraid they'll do something to you?"
