Huo Wenting still had courage. She made the decision immediately: they would not take this deal.
The issue between Huo Wenting and Lu Chengwu was not about who was right or wrong, but about having different approaches to getting things done.
Huo Wenting took the proper path and hated crooked methods. Once she started following Lu Chengwu's way, there would be no stopping it. From then on, whenever she handled matters, she would always want to use some trick, pull some strings, play some scheme, or rely on personal connections.
But Huo Group's business was legitimate business. It was a major industrial conglomerate that needed continuity and an overall strategic vision. It could not be like Lu Chengwu, making a quick buck from whatever was profitable and jumping at every bargain.
To sustainably run a vast business empire, some methods could not be used. The person in charge had to possess a broader perspective and deeper operational plans.
They could forgo this money, but Huo Group's bottom line could not be breached.
Lu Chengwen nodded in agreement.
And once the decision had been made, everyone's thinking seemed to clear up. It was as though the whole world had suddenly become high-definition and uncensored.
Lu Chengwen analyzed, "He was clearly negotiating with Eric, yet he was still talking with us yesterday, and today he even went to the airport to pick us up and continue the discussion. He's obviously betting on both sides. He wants us and Eric to restrain each other while they profit in the middle."
Huo Wenting nodded. "I thought of that too. But now that we've decided to withdraw, let them put on their little two-man show by themselves."
Lu Chengwen smiled. "I have an idea."
"What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry about it."
