Simon stood in front of the oversized floor-to-ceiling window, his shadow blending with the light outside.
"It's been found out. Was it Qiao Nian who got involved?"
"President, it's her."
"I see."
Simon's eyes were dark and he pursed his lips.
"You go out."
After a brief hesitation, the man under his command quietly retreated out, closing the door for him before leaving.
The office fell into complete silence.
Simon stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of the high-rise building.
The sun had already risen at ten o'clock in the morning, and the sunlight passed through the glass window and shone on him. It should have been very warm, but he was freezing to the bone.
He stood there for a while, wondering if the choice he was making was the right one.
But he remembered that he had already offended that person by choosing to side with the Hidden Family on Ji Ziyin's matter.
Even if he wanted to turn back, I'm afraid that the person would at most not cause trouble for him and would not be able to help the Chamber of Commerce Alliance advance further in the Independent Continent.
Therefore, wealth can be found in danger.
Simon finally walked back, picked up the intercom phone, and called through the IP-erased phone.
"beep."
When the other end rang, he picked up.
Simon's rather handsome face was now clouded, and his eyes were gloomy.
"I've thought about it."
"We work together."
"According to the conditions negotiated before, the Chamber of Commerce Alliance will take over all the Southern Tang offices of the Ji family after success! If there is no problem, we will cooperate. If there is a problem, just pretend that I did not make the call."
What he wanted was a bit more, and it was more than the bargaining chip that the other party proposed to him before. But this time the alliance took such a big risk to provoke Qiao Nian, and it was impossible for the alliance to only need three members of the Ji family.
If he couldn't reach an agreement, he would rather give up this opportunity.
There was a rustling sound of electricity coming from the receiver.
The person on the other end didn't think about it for long and said: "Deal."
Simon put his heart back after being nervous, gritted his teeth and said harshly: "Happy cooperation."
“A pleasure to work with.”
The voice over there was exactly the same as the young man who spoke in his office before. It was the same person!

"Is the matter done?"
It's very windy at Bay Pier.
A young man in a long trench coat covered his face with a hood and a mask on his mouth, wandering around the crowded pier as if he were leisurely strolling.
He looks unremarkable.
In fact, it is extremely strange to be in a place like Bay Pier at this special time.
The man just walked around the dock and then walked into the alleyway made of piles of goods.
These small alleys extend in all directions, and each one is narrow enough to allow only one person to pass through. Usually only dock workers pass by here.
Unlike the scorching sun outside, these narrow alleys are not exposed to light all year round and are pitch black. You can only see the road when the sun is out. On a cloudy day, you may not even be able to see the road clearly when walking inside.
But he is very familiar with the path here, turning left and right.
As I walked, I met someone waiting there.
The visitor is no stranger.
He has inconspicuous facial features and is dressed in black, like a shadow.
Who is the shadow next to Nie Qingru?
The shadow seemed to be very familiar with the young man. After meeting him, he immediately asked him: "The Queen is still waiting for news from you." The young man also covered his eyes with his hood so that he could not see his emotions. After hearing this, he raised his eyes and seemed to see the shadow.
, said slowly: "Most of the traces on the dock have been cleaned, but I was lucky and still found a few bullet holes and a burn mark left by a small gadget."
