It wasn't until the woman on the phone said that she would never see her again that Pippi grabbed the right to speak, but when she was about to speak, the woman hung up the phone rudely.

The words were choked on his lips, and Pippi was very upset.

At this time, her assistant came in with a bunch of documents, "Mr. Cheng, these are the companies you wanted to cooperate with before, do you want to use them as alternatives?"

"Let me think about it first."

Watching the assistant put down a stack of documents, Pippi felt his heart was heavily pressed.

As much weight as the table bears, so does her heart.

Pippi couldn't help sighing after the assistant left the office, and then looked through the alternative cooperative companies helplessly.

Originally, cooperation with Zhou's company was a settled matter, but Zhou's father was too greedy. He made excessive demands at the last critical moment, and he got stuck at that time. This kind of behavior was like intimidation.

Pippi didn't want to compromise, but it was a waste of time to find a partner company again and make another contact for cooperation.

There is a golden time for cooperation in every project, and she knew that it was not appropriate to delay any longer. Of course, Father Zhou was very aware of this, and only at the last juncture did he request to increase their interests.

Pippi, including the domestic working group, has put all their efforts into this cooperation. At this time, overthrow must be a self-damaging choice, but if they agree, it means agreeing to Zhou's father's coercive conditions.

Compromise is a matter of the first time and the second time. Pippi does not want to compromise, but wants to persist.

While she was thinking about it, Father Zhou's secretary contacted Pippi.

"Mr. Cheng, the chairman would like to ask you to meet alone."

Pippi hesitated for a while before responding to the secretary on the other end of the phone, "When?"

"tonight."

The secretary's words were calm and unhurried, but tonight is only a few hours away, and this is obviously using the momentum of the invitation to suppress her.

"I...."

Pippi hesitated, but the secretary suddenly reminded her in a condescending tone.

"Mr. Cheng, there is no one our chairman can't meet, it's just that the methods are different."

"Oh well."

Pippi answered and hung up the phone.

Because she understood the threat in the secretary's tone, and she knew very well that such a threat must have been ordered by Zhou's father, otherwise a secretary would not say this to herself.

If Zhou's father wants to see him, he must see him, and he will find a way to see him if he doesn't make an appointment.

Compared with Zhou's father's private means, Pippi is more willing to accept this aboveboard invitation.

After get off work, Pippi was about to meet Zhou's father but was stopped by Wang Lu.

Wang Lu stood firmly in front of Pippi, not giving her a way to leave.

Pippi frowned in confusion, "Sister Lu, what's wrong?"

Wang Lu's face was a little serious, which made Pippi unconsciously worried.

She subconsciously looked at Wang Lu's stomach, "Sister Lu, you are about to give birth, right?"

As soon as Pippi finished asking this question, she was overturned by the data in her mind, because Wang Lu's month was not yet the month of delivery, and premature delivery is generally not so early.

"Sister Lu, tell me quickly, I have something urgent to go out."

Pippi anxiously looked at Wang Lu who hadn't spoken so far, and pressed the corner of her mouth in dissatisfaction, "Pippi, are you officially separated from He Sheng?"

"Um."

Pippi nodded, but she also wondered why Wang Lu would say this suddenly.
