The next day after returning from the social event, Ren Da's director called Xiao Yu.

"Director, has our contract been signed? I'll go get it now." Xiao Yu said as he suddenly stood up and walked out the door.

"This contract..." The voice on the other end of the phone sounded a little embarrassed. "Our legal department staff took a look and said that there are several unreasonable clauses in this contract, so it has not been signed yet."

Xiao Yu paused, "Which ones? Tell me and we can change them now."

"There's no rush. Let's wait until tonight. We'll meet at Songhe Tower tonight."

Xiao Yu responded, "Okay."

"By the way, why not invite your girlfriend over for dinner. She was very nice to you last time and she came all the way to pick you up. You should thank her very much." The director laughed.

Xiao Yu's expression froze instantly, and he tightened his grip on the phone, "She has classes tonight, I'm afraid she can't come..."

"Is that so? That's fine. We can make an appointment next time." The person on the other end of the phone obviously lost interest and hung up the phone after saying a few perfunctory words.

Xiao Yu looked at the hung up phone and his face suddenly turned cold.

Seeing him standing there, the senior came over and asked, "What's wrong? Aren't we going to Ren Da to get the contract today?"

Xiao Yu put his phone back in his pocket, his face grim, "The contract may not be signed."

The senior was stunned, "Why?"

What happened next was just as Xiao Yu had said. He called Ren Da's director several times to ask about the contract.

But every time the director would ask Wen Li, when he learned that she would not come, his attitude was very perfunctory, either saying that there was a problem with the contract or that he did not have time.

The cooperation has been put on hold.

"Didn't you say before that the discussion went well? Why did he suddenly change his mind?" The senior student grabbed his hair in distress.

"I'll go find him." Xiao Yu stood up, picked up the laptop on the table and left the studio.

He waited for a long time downstairs of RenDa Technology, and when he saw the director, he quickly stopped him.

"Director, I would like to ask what went wrong in our cooperation?" Xiao Yu asked.

The director didn't expect him to come in person. He was shocked and stammered, "Well, that's not it. It's just that there are some problems with the contract..."

"I brought my computer here. If there is any problem with the contract, we can change it on the spot." Xiao Yu raised the computer bag in his hand.

"You... I don't have time now, maybe next time." He said and wanted to slip away.

"It's okay, I can wait for you here. When you're done, we can talk about the contract." Xiao Yu looked like he would wait here for the whole day.

"You, why are you doing this?" The director's expression suddenly became embarrassed. "I'll tell you the truth. Actually, you have offended someone. The higher-ups are putting pressure on you. I am embarrassed to go against them, so I have been holding back your contract."

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment, "Who did I offend?"

"I can't tell you this. You should know what happened in Songhe Tower that day." The director stopped his reminder and patted Xiao Yu on the shoulder. "I have something else to do. I'm leaving now."

Xiao Yu remained there in a daze until the director left.

Offend?

Songhe Tower?

The first person Xiao Yu thought of was Ji Tingyang. After all, Ji Tingyang was the only one present that day who did not get along with him.

"He must be the one behind this." Thinking of Ji Tingyang, Xiao Yu's face became terrifyingly gloomy. A feeling of bitterness surged in his stomach, and he wanted to dry heave almost as a conditioned reflex.

The documents he had obtained from Ji Yuqiao before were useless. Facing Ji Tingyang's suppression, he couldn't even retaliate.

He tried desperately to suppress the discomfort in his chest, his hands at his sides clenched into fists, and he didn't even notice the nails digging into his palms.

The studio, which had just started to pick up momentum, was now stuck in a bottleneck.

Since it was impossible to reach a cooperation with Ren Da, Xiao Yu had to give up on him and look for other companies to cooperate with.

Just when he came out of a company, he saw Wen Li's figure from afar.

He has been busy running around between various companies discussing cooperation recently and has not met Wen Li for some time.

Xiao Yu didn't expect to see her here by chance. Just as he was about to step forward, he saw a man chasing after Wen Li.

The man stuffed a gift box into Wen Li's hand, but Wen Li tried to give it back to him.

Xiao Yu paused for a moment, walked over with a sullen expression, and directly put his arm around her shoulders, as if to tell the man that they had a close relationship.

A hint of surprise flashed across Wen Li's face, as if she didn't expect him to appear here.

However, the man didn't even spare a glance for Xiao Yu, his eyes fixed on Wen Li, "Since you still have something to do, I'll go back first, and we'll see you next time."

Before leaving, he glanced at Xiao Yu with a look that seemed to carry a hint of indifference and contempt.

Xiao Yu put a little more force on her shoulders and asked, "Who is that man?"

"Just an ordinary friend." Wen Li frowned in pain.

"An ordinary friend?" Xiao Yu let out a few sneers. "If they were just ordinary friends, why would he give you such a gift?"

The outer box is so exquisite, the gift inside must be very expensive.

"How should I know? Besides, didn't I return the gift to him?" Wen Li said.

"Really? If I hadn't shown up, would you have accepted it in the end?"

Wen Li widened her eyes and looked at him in disbelief, "You doubt me?"

"Yeah..." Xiao Yu took her left hand, rubbed the watch on her wrist with his fingertips, and sighed softly, "If you didn't want it, why did you accept this watch?"

Although he was drunk that day and leaning on the seat of the taxi with his eyes closed to rest, he still heard their conversation.

Wen Li's face turned pale. She opened her mouth but couldn't say anything.

Xiao Yu held her wrist tightly, his eyes were bloodshot and scary. All the resentment and jealousy that had been pent up in his heart burst out from his chest with anger, "Do you look down on me in your heart? Do you think I'm poor and can't give you anything?"

Wen Li retorted, "I didn't."

"I bought you the jewelry you liked, took you out for nice meals, and worked hard so that we could live a good life in the future, but you..."

Wen Li seemed to be fed up with what she heard and shook off his hand. "Are you doing this for me or for yourself? You know it clearly in your heart. Don't use me as a shield for everything."

Ever since he found out about her and Ji Tingyang, Xiao Yu has been secretly comparing himself with Ji Tingyang.

But every time he went against Ji Tingyang, he would always say it was for her.
