After a long time, George finally managed to suppress the anger in his heart.
Then, he forced a smile that was even harder to look at than crying, saying, "I really have something very important that needs to be discussed with Mr. Su..."
Halfway through, George's face showed a look of turmoil, but finally he gritted his teeth and said:
"Please convey to Mr. Su that this matter concerns the interests of over a billion dollars. If Mr. Su is willing to meet, I am prepared to gift him this billion-dollar interest without any charge!"
While speaking, George also took out his wallet and handed over a cheque to the receptionist.
"Please convey this message."
At the words, the receptionist was taken aback and subconsciously cast a glance at the cheque in George's hand.
"One million dollars!"
A single glance was enough for the receptionist to confirm the figure.
Ten thousand dollars, which is equivalent to seventy thousand Long coins!
All he needs to do is convey a single message and he will get this ten thousand dollars!
It must be said that this gesture is indeed generous.
Unfortunately, the receptionist just took a glance at the cheque and then promptly shifted her gaze away. She then said calmly, "There's no need for these things. I'll pass on the message, Mr. George, just wait patiently."
Ten thousand dollars, if it were before she came to the nine treasures, she might have been tempted, or most likely would have been tempted.
After all, it's just to pass a message.
Now, that is absolutely impossible.
Initially, when she was impoverished and her mother was sick, lacking medical expenses, it was Nine Treasure Pagoda, Su Heng who took her in and provided the best medical treatment for her mother free of charge!
Moreover, they even provided staff housing for their employees.
These things are beyond what George can measure!
Since Su Heng said to let George wait, then let George wait, regardless of what important things George may have, it's not important.
Moreover, she had long been annoyed by George's haughty and superior attitude whenever he came to Nine Treasure Pagoda. Now that he's just getting a cold shoulder, it's nothing compared to the things he has done in the past; this is just the tip of the iceberg of what he has done before...
"Please, Mr. George, return to your seat. I will inform you immediately once Mr. Su returns."
George received a clichéd phrase in response to his request.
George's face turned completely dark because of this remark.
Under the intense anger, he couldn't help but want to curse loudly.
Fortunately, in the last moment, he still managed to suppress his anger and force out a smile that was even harder to look at than crying, "
"Then, please trouble Miss Lin. Make sure to inform me immediately when Mr. Su returns. Thank you!"
...
"Fuck! Fuck! Fuck!!"
After leaving the headquarters of Nine Treasure Group, George Wood finally couldn't suppress his anger and let out a profanity in a fit of rage.
The ferocious expression on his face drew the passing people to cast glances in his direction, and then as if seeing a mental patient, quickly distanced themselves.
"Fucking bastard."
Feeling the strange looks from the people around him, George Wood became even more angry.
However, when he thought about the consequences of his failed attempt, all his anger was extinguished like a bucket of ice water poured over him.
Instantly, it was extinguished completely.
"No, I have to find a way to meet Su Cheng, otherwise, if FBL starts investigating me, I'm finished!"
He is a billionaire and a prominent figure in White Eagle. However, White Eagle's tax authorities love people like him, who are wealthy!
Or, rather, wealthy individuals with issues!
...
Time flies.
A day passed in a flash.
Of course, this is only relative to ordinary people. For George Wood, every minute and every second of this day felt like a year or even a century!
"Did you find it?"
In the early morning, just as dawn was breaking, the bloodshot-eyed George Wood couldn't help but dial a phone, his voice hoarse as he asked.
"I'm sorry, Boss. Currently there is no information found yet. Only that half a week ago, Su Cheng left Nine Treasure Group, and since then, he hasn't appeared at the headquarters..."
As George Wood's voice fell, a deep voice also quietly rang out from the other end of the phone line.
"Fucking hell!"
After listening to his subordinate's reply, George Wood couldn't help but throw the phone he was holding onto the hotel carpet.
In a rage, even with the carpet as a cushion, the custom-made phone worth tens of thousands of dollars was directly turned into a heap of components!
George Wood paid no attention to this; his thoughts were entirely focused on the message he had just received.
Half a week!
The thought of this duration gave George Wood goosebumps.
Su Heng has been gone for half a week. Who knows when Su Heng will return next after such a long time?
At this moment, George Wood regretted it.
He regrets why he didn't ask for Su Heng's private contact information before.
He regrets that he didn't lower his posture and ask for Su Heng's personal contact information, not being so condescending before. He might not be in this situation now!
Recently, there were rumors from White Eagle. FBL has already started investigating him internally!
It's possible that the investigation into him could start at any time. It can be anticipated that this time will not be long!
"What to do? What to do?"
At this moment, George Wood felt like an ant on a hot pot, unable to sit still any longer...
...
In a blink of an eye, another two days had passed—
"Mr. Su, the headquarters has reported that George Wood is completely unable to sit still. Yesterday, he approached Manager Li, offering one million dollars in exchange for the technology to obstruct the cable."
That day, after Su Heng had handled the drone order, he was preparing to return when his secretary, Lin Ya, brought another piece of news.
Upon hearing this, Su Heng raised his eyebrows and asked, "One million dollars? Did Li Yu agree?"
"No." The secretary shook her head slightly and then said, "All of our core technology is held by you and the technology department. Apart from you and the research and development personnel, only I have access to the core technology information. Although Mr. Li is the general manager of Nine Treasure Rope Access Company, he does not have the authority to access core technology..."
Hearing this, Su Heng nodded slightly.
Su Heng then fell into thought.
After a long time, he finally said, "Let's go back and see."
It had been three days. Su Heng figured that it was about time. From George Wood's reaction, he could tell that the guy was already anxious!
Leaving it any longer might drive him to desperate measures...
...
"Mr. Su has returned?"
Having received the notification from Nine Treasure for three days and three nights without a good night's sleep, looking exhausted with sallow complexion and bloodshot eyes, George Wood's eyes lit up with a crimson glow.
"Yes, Mr. George, Mr. Su has returned and has been instructed to meet with you at 3 PM this afternoon. Please make sure not to be late, Mr. George."
Over the phone, the previous receptionist responded in a calm tone.
"All right, I'll be there before three!"
This time, George Wood didn't have the haughty attitude he had before, and nodded repeatedly in response.
In the past three days, FBL had already looked into his case. If it weren't for his connections and efforts to delay them, he might have already been investigated thoroughly!
In this situation, he dared not create any more trouble!
"Charlie! Prepare the car, right away, go to Nine Treasure!"
Unable to think further, George Wood suppressed the excitement in his heart and directly spoke to the hearty man beside him.
