This time, Huo Chongjin was completely stunned.
He thought he was hallucinating and looked at Quan Jue in disbelief. “What did you say? I don’t think I understand.”
“I said, our collaboration is over,” Quan Jue repeated.
He originally wanted to officially sign the contract with Huo Chongjin tomorrow, but there was no need to do so now.
“Quan Jue, do you know what you’re saying? Are you burning the bridge after achieving your goals?” Huo Chongjin’s face turned completely cold as he looked at Quan Jue gloomily.
Quan Jue was indifferent. There was no fear in his eyes, much less surrender. Instead, there was only boundless iciness.
.
“What do you mean by burning the bridge after achieving my goals? President Huo, since when did you build a bridge for me? Huh?” At that moment, the young man’s powerful aura pressed down on him.
Huo Chongjin actually felt a little suffocated.
There did seem to be something wrong with what he said earlier.
However, he was also furious.
How could this business collaboration be terminated just like that?
Moreover, Quan Jue wanted to do it for a woman.
Wasn’t this utter nonsense?
“Quan Jue, you’re still young. Think about it. If you start a company by yourself and work on a project, will the Quan family tolerate you?” Huo Chongjin endured the unhappiness in his heart and tried to give well-meaning advice. “According to your father’s temper, he will definitely not allow you to start another business so easily. In the future, you might even go against him. Now, you’re terminating your collaboration with me because of a woman. Do you think you can play around with me because that I have a better temper?”
Towards the end, Huo Chongjin’s tone was already heavy with a hidden threat.
“You can think however you want, President Huo.” Quan Jue blew out a smoke ring.
Seeing his arrogance, Huo Chongjin stared at him for a few seconds before snorting heavily and turning to leave.
Quan Jue stood there and looked indifferently at his back view as he left, his eyes filled with cold disdain.

After a while, Chi Jiao and Yan Qingqing walked out of the villa together.
“My brother and Brother Lu were originally going to attend the banquet, but something unexpected happened on Brother Lu’s end. My brother went to help him settle it, so they didn’t come,” Yan Qingqing said as she walked.
Chi Jiao nodded as her gaze landed on the young man standing by the flower bed.
Yan Qingqing also glanced at Quan Jue, and the smile on her face instantly turned evil. She approached Chi Jiao and said, “Jiaojiao, I really didn’t expect you’d fall for a young, handsome, and domineering man!”
She originally thought that someone like Jiaojiao would find a boy a little older than her to take better care of her.
She had never thought that she would find a young and domineering one instead.
“Qingqing, it’s too cold outside. You can head in,” Chi Jiao said.
“Alright, I get it. You don’t want me anymore now that you have a boyfriend.” Yan Qingqing revealed a heartbroken expression, but the twinkling in her eyes couldn’t be concealed. “I’m going in first. Be careful on the way back with Quan Jue. Give me a call if there are any issues. I’ll be right there.”
Chi Jiao nodded and watched as she returned to the hall. Then, she walked quickly towards Quan Jue.
“Are you done?” Quan Jue looked down at her with a faint gentleness in his eyes.
“Yes, Brother Quan. I’m so hungry.” Chi Jiao rubbed her stomach.
“You didn’t have dinner?” Quan Jue raised his eyebrows.
Chi Jiao nodded.
