“What should I do?”
Cai sank down to the seat and was hopeless. The mayor had already reported the good news to the leader, and they were waiting for Annie’s coming.
Cai couldn’t imagine what they would react after they heard this.
Annie soon came back to her room and called Moorer to find her.
“Lady Annie. What do you want?” Moorer walked in and bowed respectfully.
“Mr. Mu, tell the government in City Y that all the investment is ceased, and all the activities today are canceled, too,” Annie said coldly, in a firm tone.
As the princess of a powerful country, she had the right to ignore something she was unwilling to do.
“Lady Annie! What’s going on?” Moorer’s face changed a lot. There must be something to change Annie’s mind.
“Tell them, if they want the investment, fire Cai and never let him be an official, never!”
“I only give them 24 hours, and if Cai isn’t fired 24 hours later, we’ll get back. I will persuade my father to stop his plan to invest here!”
“Yes, my honored princess.” Moorer didn’t ask more this time.
He could know the reason. Cai must have done something to Robin, which irritated Annie.
Moorer clearly knew the reason for the investment and visit. Annie and her father came here only to show gratitude to Robin.
If someone did something to Robin and enraged Annie, the investment would be definitely ceased.
Moorer took the order and left Annie’s room.
In a restaurant in City Y, the mayor, Ferry, had a meeting with the top leader. They greeted each other and then went straight to the point.
“Zhou told me he’s eating with Annie, and he has discussed the investment with Annie. Annie is satisfied with the investment policies here, and she promised to make a big investment.” Ferry reported.
“Xie, it’s a great achievement if the investment is made successfully!” The leader smiled. He would also gain praise if so. After all, he was the person in charge of this subject.
“I will give it my best shot!” Ferry smiled and promised. Then he added. “Zhou also made a great contribution this time. He’s young, but talented and experienced enough, especially in negotiations.”
“Cai is good. It’s his good luck to work under your guidance, and also your luck to have such a subordinate.” The leader nodded. Though he was not familiar with Cai, he knew Cai was Zhou’s young master.
That was just what Zhou’s family brought to Cai. Almost all the big shots knew his name.
Suddenly, someone knocked at the door.
Ferry got up and opened the door. It was his secretary standing at the door, in a panic.
Ferry’s face turned sullen, and was a little angry with his secretary.
The secretary was always the most trusted for the leader, so the secretary’s character and ability would also reflect the leader’s abilities.
“What’s going on?” Ferry asked with a sullen face.
“Mr. Xie, there is an urgency!” The secretary found Ferry’s anger, but he couldn’t keep calm. Even his voice was trembling.
“Excuse me for my absence.” Ferry turned back and said to the leader. Then he walked out of the room and went to the rooftop.
“What’s the matter?” Ferry asked.
“Mr. Xie, Director Zhang received a phone call from Mr. Mu, the director of the financial group in Country B. He said the investment is ceased, and the activities today are canceled!” The secretary said in a hurry.
“What?”
Though Ferry was sophisticated and steady, he was stunned. “Did they say the reason?”
“Call Zhang now!”
Ferry stopped asking the secretary. He thought he had to directly ask Director Zhang.
The direct talk was more useful than the message.
“Director Zhang! What’s going on? Why they want to cease the investment and cancel the activities?” Ferry went straight to the point.
“It’s Princess Annie’s decision.” Director Zhang was also anxious. “I’ve asked Mr. Mu for a reason. He told me that Annie is dissatisfied with Cai’s lies. Cai cheated Annie on something related to Annie’s savior, Robin Zhou, so Annie was annoyed.”
Ferry frowned. He didn’t expect this bad news just after Cai told him the good news minutes ago.
That made him unprepared.
“Mr. Xie, princess Annie said if we want the investment, we have to fire Cai in 24 hours. If we don’t do so, she will come back to her country and persuade her father to cancel the investment and visit to our country.”
Director Zhang added. “According to Mr. Mu’s words, Annie’s attitude determines much the attitudes of those businessmen from Country B.”
