"Fang Heng, wait!"
As Fang Heng was leaving the council hall to check on the situation with Starfish Company, he sensed Li Qingran approaching from behind and stopped. "Senior Qingran."
"Fang Heng, please don't take it the wrong way. Mr. Shi didn't mean it that way. The situation is critical, and we need more intelligence to make a decision."
"It's okay, I understand."
Fang Heng truly understood Shi Lipeng's position. As for feeling any animosity toward him, he couldn't really say he did.
Putting himself in Shi Lipeng's shoes, if someone suddenly appeared and demanded that a plan developed over half a month be halted to follow his own approach because he could deal with the Holy Court...
Fang Heng himself wouldn't easily believe it either; merely not chasing him away was already quite polite.
