Chapter 689: Zhao Taohua Has Betrayed Me

Watching the scissors in He Fanxing's hand slowly draw closer to Zhao Taohua,

Ye Luming involuntarily grew tense,

he hurriedly called out: "He Zong, He Zong, don't act rashly! We can still negotiate the cooperation—stop bullying Zhao Taohua!"

Upon hearing this,

He Fanxing smiled faintly,

then used the scissors to snip off a strand of chestnut-colored dog fur from Zhao Taohua's back,

before asking: "Ye Zong, you say we can negotiate—how exactly do you propose we do so?"

Seeing He Fanxing actually wield the scissors against Zhao Taohua,

Ye Luming's heart jolted,

he nervously glanced at Zhao Taohua,

then hesitantly said: "This, this… He Zong, my reluctance to cooperate again with Qimiao isn't just because of you…"

"Some of it is also because the personnel handling the liaison between your company and ours have changed, making communication less smooth and the project timeline gradually extended, so…"

He Fanxing listened, then spoke bluntly to Ye Luming: "Ye Zong, although we've extended some deadlines, the quality and efficiency of the work have improved dramatically—I'm sure you've noticed."

"Yes, but still…"

Ye Luming remained hesitant upon hearing this,

but He Fanxing continued: "Ye Zong, over these past days, Qimiao Decoration has undergone a complete transformation—from the general manager down to the finance department, nearly everyone has been replaced."

"Have you ever considered that while undergoing such massive upheaval, Qimiao Decoration still managed to keep the cooperation project running smoothly, with quality and efficiency steadily improving—doesn't that suggest Qimiao Decoration is actually moving in a better direction?"

"I know Ye Zong doesn't care about and doesn't need to care about Qimiao Decoration's internal changes, but I must clarify: the current Qimiao Decoration has been infused with entirely new blood, and multiple improvements have been made in both work quality and cooperation."

"I can promise you, Ye Zong, that you can obtain higher-quality services from Qimiao Decoration at a lower price!"

"So, Ye Zong!"

As he spoke, He Fanxing's eyes flashed a hint of ruthlessness, directly aiming the scissors at Zhao Taohua,

"Ye Zong, either choose to continue cooperating with my Qimiao Company, and Zhao Taohua will return to you—or leave now, and from today onward, never lay eyes on Zhao Taohua again!"

He Fanxing's words carried clear threats,

and although Ye Luming strongly disliked them,

seeing Zhao Taohua now trembling, the scissors pointed directly at it,

Ye Luming couldn't bring himself to refuse.

He stood frozen in place,

beginning to seriously consider whether to continue cooperating with Qimiao Decoration.

In fact, during his earlier cooperation with Qimiao Decoration,

Ye Luming had noticed many problems,

but because his relationship with the former Li Zong had been fairly good, he had simply let things slide,

and after He Fanxing suddenly rose to power,

Ye Luming had heard many rumors from Li Zong and others about He Fanxing having climbed to power through sexual favors,

then Li Zong had visited Ye Luming's home repeatedly with his family, inviting him to meals and entertainment,

so,

Ye Luming had refused to cooperate with He Fanxing, wanting to give the opportunity to Li Zong to help him restart.

But now, thinking carefully,

since He Fanxing took over Qimiao Decoration,

feedback on all fronts has been positive,

work quality has improved, and minor issues have decreased,

although a few problems did delay the schedule somewhat,
