Liu Ergou's behavior only deepened Orange Bear's confusion.
"Ergou, why are you shaking your head? What do you mean?" he asked. "Didn't we agree you'd come to discuss a partnership? Why the last-minute change of heart?"
The dozen or so security guards standing nearby broke out in a cold sweat as they listened in. They never would have imagined that this seemingly unsophisticated man actually knew their chairman, and by the looks of it, knew him very well. The thought of having just offended Liu Ergou made their legs tremble with fear. As security guards for Orange Bear, they knew their jobs were the best—the pay was the highest and the work was the easiest. Their salaries were even higher than the average white-collar worker's. The thought of losing this job nearly brought them all to tears.
