"Young Master Chen, how did the talks go?"
As Chen Tang had just entered the top-floor office of Goryeo Tower, Meng Shaotao approached him, "Why have you returned so soon? Could it be that it went so well you struck a deal immediately?"
"You're overthinking it!" Chen Tang shook his head helplessly, "This Second Prince isn't that simple. He's very cautious about forming an alliance. Without having secured the Dongying Defensive Office, forming an alliance is basically impossible!"
This Second Prince, he won't throw the hawk without seeing the rabbit; his calculations are very precise!
What he meant was, today's talks obviously collapsed, and the Second Prince snubbed Chen Tang, rejecting his proactive request for an alliance.
Meng Shaotao looked dumbfounded, Sima Qing was visibly outraged, and Yamada Huizi appeared deeply worried.
