Huo Wenting knew she had gone too far herself, but being humiliated by Lu Chengwen like this, with him even grabbing her by the collar and berating her, she lost her temper too.
Huo Wenting tried hard to persuade herself: Don't be impulsive. He's just too angry. I have to understand him.
"Lu Chengwen, your internal documents won't remain valid for long. The higher-ups will reject them sooner or later. This can only buy time, and it'll delay Huo Group too."
Lu Chengwen looked at her. "I'm deliberately delaying you. What are you going to do about it, bite me?"
"Lu Chengwen!" Huo Wenting said. "Don't get too cocky!"
The bodyguards were about to step in when Lu Chengwen turned around and glared at them. "Whoever dares touch me, I'll strangle Huo Wenting to death!"
One bodyguard was just about to force his way forward when Huo Wenting turned and snapped, "Get out!"
The man froze and did not dare move.
Huo Wenting stared at Lu Chengwen. "Didn't you want to hit me? Go on, hit me! Hit me!"
Zetmosunzi shook his head. "Can someone restrain this lunatic?"
Huo Wenting said furiously, "Lu Chengwen! Are you insane!? Have you lost your mind!?"
Lu Chengwen released Huo Wenting, even giving her a shove. Pointing at her, he said, "Don't tell people you know me when you go out from now on! Embarrassing!"
Huo Wenting clutched her chest and braced herself against the table, too furious to speak.
Zetmosunzi smiled and walked up to Lu Chengwen.
"Listen to me, kid. I know what you're doing. With a deal this huge, you think a few billion in scraps is an insult. Listen carefully. I've seen plenty of trash like you. You don't even know who you're offending, much less how much trouble you're
