Offended Someone Great

Even the Zuo family, a prominent family in Lin, aspired to join the inner circle of the city of Sijiu's influential families.

The Chen family, by comparison, would barely qualify as a minor family in Sijiu.

"Hello, hello, this is the Chen family," Mr. Chen spoke in a very submissive tone. "May I ask what important matter necessitates your direct call?"

"There is a matter, but it's not important," the voice on the other end was cold. "At the beginning of this year, the Chen family secured a contract in the Eastern District, worth a billion."

"Yes, yes, yes," Mr. Chen hurriedly agreed. "We will surely execute this contract to the best of our abilities, you have my word."

"You don't need to. The contract has been revoked," the voice said with a detached chuckle. "You can stop your preparations."
