“Mr. John, I’m sorry, but I can’t agree to such an unreasonable request. There’s no need for consideration,” Gu Shaoting immediately refused. He didn’t like being threatened by others, and divorcing Shu Pan for this was akin to signing his death warrant.

“Shaoting, won’t you consider it seriously? After all, this involves your overseas business, right? Don’t you care about your career?” Mr. John repeatedly emphasized that Gu Shaoting hadn’t yet considered the consequences.

“Mr. John, I hope our cooperation is based on fairness and mutual benefit, not selfishness,” Gu Shaoting said directly. “You’re a man of integrity, always reasonable. I’ve always been proud to work with you.”

Mr. John’s face turned red and white as Gu Shaoting spoke. After all, what he did was indeed unfair.

He sighed and then spoke slowly, “Shaoting, please understand a father’s helplessness. I only have this one beloved daughter. Everything in the future belongs to her. I don’t want to see her sad. I’ll try everything I can for her.”

“Mr. John, I understand your love for your daughter, but forgive me for not being able to agree to your request. If you terminate the cooperation prematurely, we’ll proceed according to the contract. Also, please consider that stopping the contract midway won’t be beneficial for you either,” Gu Shaoting patiently analyzed the pros and cons for him.

Mr. John didn’t speak. He walked slowly to the window, looking at the clouds in the sky outside, lost in thought.

Was this the right thing to do? Seeing Gu Shaoting’s attitude, he knew there would be no compromise. He’d rather give up the cooperation than agree to his request. Sacrificing the cooperation just to make him compromise, wouldn’t that hurt others and not benefit himself?

After thinking it over, John finally said, “Shaoting, let me think about it.”

Gu Shaoting glanced at him and replied, “Sure, I’ll take my leave now. I’ll wait for your reply. I hope we can still cooperate happily.”

With that, Gu Shaoting left.

Hardly had he left when Charlene hurriedly entered. “Daddy, what happened? Did Brother Gu agree?”

Seeing Charlene’s anxious look, John couldn’t help but scold her, “Why are you always in such a hurry? Have some decorum, will you?”

“Daddy, what did he say?” Charlene asked anxiously.

“He didn’t agree, darling. Forget about this matter. Shaoting won’t agree no matter what,” John sighed after speaking.

It was hard for him to put aside his dignity and make such a harsh request. If the other party didn’t agree, he felt embarrassed.

“No, why didn’t he agree? Last time he didn’t agree, but this time, if we terminate the cooperation, it could be a heavy blow to the Gu Group. How could he ignore that?” Charlene said impatiently. This idea was suggested by her to her father. She thought men would prioritize their careers, after all, they could remarry if they lost their wives.

“Charlene, I’ve indulged you too much. Don’t bring up this matter again. Pretend we never discussed it. Have you thought about it? If we terminate the cooperation, our company will also be greatly affected, and the compensation won’t be small. Plus, we don’t know where to find such a good partner like the Gu Group,” John reasoned, becoming more rational after analyzing it.

Businessmen would always prioritize profit.

Charlene was unhappy but helpless. She glared at John and then stormed out of the study, fuming.
