The words were spoken by Song Guanchao, but Mr. Du replied to Fu Ying, clearly disregarding Song Guanchao.
Song Guanchao noticed the subtle change but didn't mind.
Fu Ying's eyes dimmed, she sighed inwardly, unsure of how to respond.
Song Guanchao smiled and said, "Mr. Du, why not listen to me before making a decision?"
"No need." Mr. Du said, "I currently have no intention of relocating."
He rejected it outright, with no room for negotiation.
Song Guanchao picked up his teacup, took a sip calmly, unbothered by whether he listened, and went on speaking, "Mr. Du, you probably haven't heard about what happened in Pinghai over the past few days, have you?"
Mr. Du listened but did not respond.
Song Guanchao said, "The City Committee and Municipal Government arrested over a hundred people."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Du was shocked, his pupils quaking.
His eyebrows rose and fell, then frowned tightly together, filled with suspicion, clearly not believing it.
