"What did you say?"
The call connected, and upon hearing the general manager's words, Du Wende furrowed his brows.
"Wasn't it already agreed upon before?"
"Why the sudden change?"
The general manager explained to Du Wende.
"Alright, I'll head back immediately."

Originally, they had reached a preliminary cooperation agreement with the Hilton Group, which planned to build a new hotel in Shanghai, entrusting Du's Real Estate Group with the construction—only the contract signing was left.
Thinking the contract was as good as secure, Du Wende sneaked away for some leisure time at the Amanyangyun Resort.
But then, things went awry.
A real estate company from Yue City suddenly got involved, competing with Du's Group.
This company from Yue City had collaborated with Hilton multiple times and even had the boss acquainted with the vice president of Hilton Asia Pacific.
