There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line before Bai Lu spoke, her voice slow and firm. "Dr. Hou, if Chen Xiao is no longer involved, then let's just pause the project. We'll consider negotiating with new business partners."
Bai Lu hung up without another word.
Staring at Hou Fei's livid face, Chen Xiao sneered. "President Hou, you were right about one thing. Sometimes, you can't be too arrogant. You might feel great about yourself, but other people just see you as a nobody."
With that, he walked straight out of the office.
As he was leaving, he heard the sound of a teacup shattering on the floor behind him. He didn't look back.
Back at his desk, Ma Jing noticed his dark expression and leaned in to ask, "Brother Chen Xiao, what's wrong? What did President Hou want with you?"
Chen Xiao rolled his eyes at her. "You have the nerve to ask? President Hou said my OKRs and daily reports were garbage. You're the one who did them!"
