"I'm not joking. Even I wouldn't dare mess with him."
Ye Chongli leaned forward slightly, shielding his mouth with a hand beside his face as he lowered his voice to speak to Xu Yifeng and the others.
Ye Chongli also remembered to sneak a glance at Ye Yizhou's expression out of the corner of his eye.
He did indeed seem quite wary of him.
"But this is a project in partnership with the Yan Group. You actually dare to be this negligent?"
Liu Dawei copied Ye Chongli's gesture, lowering his voice to speak to him across the table. He really couldn't understand it.
"What negligence? This is called taking our time to do quality work. They understand," Ye Chongli corrected him solemnly.
"No, but how do you normally report your progress to them? Do they accept that excuse?"
They actually got into a very serious discussion.
That left Ye Yizhou, who had been busy acting all impressive at the head of the table, hanging awkwardly off to the side.
"Can you hear each other when you talk like that?"
The moment Ye Yizhou spoke, everyone on both sides of the conference table felt the awkwardness of being caught whispering.
They looked at Ye Yizhou, unsure how to react for a moment.
"Well, this won't do. I'll leave, then."
With that, Ye Yizhou stood up and walked out of the conference room.
In that moment, he made some sort of decision and left without another word.
"Wait, what? Huh?"
They were baffled.
The willful, defiant, slightly unhinged attitude Ye Yizhou had displayed through those few remarks and gestures should never have led to this.
Every reaction Ye Yizhou gave was beyond their expectations.
Ye Chongli glanced at Ye Yizhou, who had already left the conference room, and continued their earlier conversation
