167. He overestimated himself.
"Qianyu, have you seen the news as well?"
The moment the call connected, Du An's somewhat weary voice came through.
Hearing his voice, Xu Qianyu's heart tightened, suspecting that this matter must have dealt a far greater blow to Du's than she had imagined.
"Yeah, I saw it at home, how about you..."
She was genuinely worried. No one knew Du An's pride better than she did. Having aspired to achieve something notable, his failure this time was likely to leave him disheartened for a while.
He sighed, "Do you remember when I told you last time that President Jing of Cloudscape Group took the legal department on a trip to Yun Province?"
"I remember. You mentioned back then that there were rumors Cloudscape Pharma would have a new project... Could it be the Exquisite Plant?!"
That conversation was still vivid in her mind. It was indeed because Du An had recently taken over the Du Corporation, and it was the first matter he had handled as the successor.
