Chen Hui-chieh Has Gone Completely Insane

That's right.

Upon hearing this conclusion, a glint of greed flashed in the eyes of the delegates.

Although they are all negotiations, the difficulty of negotiations changes dramatically when the negotiating partner is changed.

The Reunion Movement is full of lawless lunatics.

Negotiating with them requires not only cunning and maneuvering, but also constant vigilance to protect your own head.

If you anger the Reunion Movement, they really will ambush your convoy in the wild, rob your cargo, and shove your head into your skull.

But when the negotiating partner changed to the Governor's Office, everything changed.

Firstly, the Governor's Office needs these large capital firms and enterprises to invest and boost the economy of Lungmen.

Secondly, the officials, both high and low, in the Governor's Office had vested interests with everyone, forming a complex web of intertwined interests.

Finally, as a legitimate administrative body, the Governor's Office naturally had to consider the implications.

Even if the conversation gets heated and people are gritting their teeth.

It is also impossible for them to engage in extreme actions such as intercepting foreign companies or looting local chambers of commerce.

Their lives are at least adequately protected.

With this in mind, a representative from a chamber of commerce in Yan spoke on the spot:

"I think we need to renegotiate the feasibility of this agreement."

Another representative from the Yan Chamber of Commerce also spoke:

"That's right. Our chamber of commerce has been cooperating with Mr. Wei for over twenty years. Although we proposed this agreement last month, he can't possibly forget our past relationship and take advantage of us in this kind of matter, can he?"

"That's right. Without us, where would Lungmen be today?"

"Lord Wei can't possibly take advantage of us too, can he?"

"That's right, that's right."

Despite the intense competition among all the business representatives, they surprisingly reached a consensus on this point.

They felt that the negotiation proposal they had personally presented some time ago was too conservative.

This negotiation should be nullified. As for what the new negotiation should demand, that depends on whether the newcomer, Talulah, is easy to handle.

After the meeting began.

Talulah attended the consultation meeting accompanied by Chen Huijie.

Since a plan had been prepared in advance with Wei Yenwu and Chen Huijie, Talulah, played by Luo Chen, naturally had no objections to the agreement.

As soon as they sat down, they couldn't wait to sign the negotiated contract, which was supervised by the Governor's Office.

"Everyone, the Reunion Movement has no objection to this negotiated agreement. On behalf of the Reunion Movement, I approve it directly. Please sign it now."

Talulah gave a calm smile and gestured to the Governor's Office's staff to take the report to the representatives of the other companies for signature.

Let's work together to build a better Lungmen.

However, when the staff handed them the report signed by Talulah, not a single person picked up a pen.

Representatives from major corporations, conglomerates, and chambers of commerce have now seen through Talulah.

This guy is just a naive pawn put forward by the Governor's Office.

The Talulah so eager to sign the documents proves that Talulah can still make a profit and is far from reaching her limit.

Under these circumstances, no sensible businessman would sign an agreement and give up enormous profits.

Seeing that no one had signed the agreement, Talulah blinked and asked, somewhat bewildered:

Why aren't you signing?

At this moment, a middle-aged man with a large belly, representing a certain chamber of commerce in Yan, chuckled.

"Miss New Chief, we dare not sign it. The Ninth Chief of the Reunion Movement said that whoever signs this agreement will be killed, and that if any of us bother her with this agreement again, she will kill us too."

"Nobody dares to sign, for fear of being killed by your Reunion Movement."

"Hehehe..." Talulah laughed upon hearing this.

"Sir, you really like to joke. With Superintendent Chen sitting here, who would dare to kill someone? Gentlemen, hurry up and sign, then everyone can go back to their own business."

"That will likely delay the new chief of staff," another business representative from Columbia said. "We will not sign this agreement."

"Sir, are you joking too? Our Reunion Movement is very sincere. Just sign it. In front of Superintendent Chen, I guarantee your lives will not be threatened in the slightest."

Talulah answered with a smile, while glancing at Chen Huijie.

Chen Huijie nodded, her tone serious:

"That's right. With the Lungmen Guard Department around, no one can pose a threat to your lives and property in Lungmen."

Despite Chen Huijie's assurances, no one signed the agreement.

Even Talulah, with her fake persona, saw through the deception.

The smile on her face froze, tinged with hesitation:

"Gentlemen, is there anything you are dissatisfied with regarding this agreement?"

"As far as I know, this agreement was reached after you all discussed and agreed upon it, right?"

However, the representatives of the various companies showed absolutely no remorse when questioned.

Instead, they seemed to occupy the moral high ground, questioning Talulah in return:

"Miss Chief of Staff, since you know that this agreement was reached through our joint discussions, you must know why we presented this agreement in the first place, right?"

"Let me ask you this: if someone held a knife to your throat, wouldn't you say something against your will?"

"What do you mean? Wasn't it you who wanted to sign?" Chen Huijie frowned, her tone filled with undisguised dissatisfaction.

For the safety of Lungmen, the sisters not only planned for a long time, but they also haven't had a proper night's sleep in the past few days in order to control the Reunion Movement.

Back then, these company representatives begged Luo Chen to sign this agreement, but they all refused.

But now that they've agreed to sign the agreement, these company representatives are refusing?

However, Chen Huijie's dissatisfaction did not intimidate them.

On the contrary, Chen Huijie's remarks further confirmed the delegates' initial suspicions.

The Reunion Movement is now under the control of the Governor's Office.

We've all been working with Governor Wei for decades, how can you not give us some face?

So the pot-bellied merchant who had spoken earlier began to reason again:

"Commander Chen, we are just businessmen. As the saying goes, business is business, and officialdom is officialdom."

"As a businessman, a contract that hasn't been signed is just a piece of waste paper."

"Market conditions fluctuate, and our decisions will change accordingly."

"We feel that this agreement is no longer suitable for the current market environment, so we want to draft a new contract."

"You're going back on your word!" The hot-tempered Chen Huijie slammed her hand on the table and stood up.

"Oh, right." However, the merchant didn't even look at her; he was still staring at Talulah.

"We'd like to ask this new leader: since the Reunion Movement wants to work towards the development of Lungmen..."

"So, can the Reunion Movement send the prisoners they've forcibly detained to us for free labor?"

"Of course, we're not taking advantage of you for nothing. We can provide food for these prisoners, saving you some expenses."

"If the Reunion Movement is willing to modify the agreement to this extent, we can sign it immediately."

Talulah was drenched in sweat.

Cold sweat trickled down Talulah's forehead; clearly, the merchants' New Agreement far exceeded their expectations.

Don't say that Talulah, as the head of the Reunion Movement, can't accept it.

Even Chen Huijie couldn't stand the demands they made.

After the Reunion Movement became part of the Governor's Office's power, Reunion Movement profits naturally became the Governor's Office's profits as well.

They may compromise for the greater good of Lungmen, but that doesn't mean they'd give up everything for the greater good.

If they don't want anything, what are they still doing in Lungmen?

Wouldn't it be safer to pack up and run away?

"Enough! You've gone too far! How could the Reunion Movement possibly sign such an agreement?"

Chen Huijie angrily accused these businessmen.

But her accusations only earned her the representatives' disdain.

The biggest taboo in business negotiations is breaking down someone's defenses; whoever breaks down their defenses is the one who can be easily manipulated.

This means that more residual value can be extracted from the breacher.

"Since the Reunion Movement is unwilling to sign, then let's not sign."

"If the Reunion Movement does not accept this, we will not engage in any Reunion Movement labor cooperation with them."

"After all, the Reunion Movement has threatened our lives, and we want to show them that we're not made of clay either."

Chapter 243 Chen Huijie, completely insane.

The consultation meeting, unsurprisingly, went awry.

The company representative's last-minute change of heart caused the negotiations to fail.

In the Governor's Office's private lounge.

"... These guys, we're helping them, and they're causing trouble for us!"

"Have they even grasped the current situation? Luo Chen is about to storm Lungmen; can't they just obediently follow our orders?"

Chen Huijie's words were laced with murderous intent, as if they were about to burst forth with sparks.

She gently pressed the hilt of Chixiao's sword, wishing she could rush in right now and give those guys a good beating.

"Relax a little... Huijie."

Chen Huijie turned to look at Talulah and found that the latter was trying to appear calm.

As for why she was forcing herself to remain calm, it was because she noticed that Talulah's smile was somewhat unnatural.

It's like controlling... no, forcing a smile.

Talulah calmly, her golden eyes filled with sincerity:

"Huijie, I believe that as long as we are patient and tell them everything about the dangers and predicaments that Lungmen is currently facing."

"No matter how great their ambitions and desires may be, they will surely understand our difficulties in this time of crisis."

Communication can solve all problems.

Everyone should understand the basic principle that "if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold," and "when the nest is overturned, no egg remains unbroken."

Chen Huijie felt that Talulah was a bit naive, but with the crisis looming, those guys should be able to see the situation clearly.

Otherwise, we'll all die together.

Beep beep beep--

At this time.

The terminal communication beeped, ringing incessantly like a death knell.

Since Chen Huijie had already taken on the role of acting director of the Lungmen Guard Department, she received a barrage of messages as soon as she turned on her phone.

Article 1.

[Armed protests erupted in the Lower City, and police officers maintaining order were attacked by armed men, resulting in over ten injuries. Reinforcements from headquarters are urgently needed.]
