Chapter 305: Lone Wolf’s Choice

Lone Wolf frowned slightly. A resolute light flickered in his eyes as he began to speak.

"Mr. Chen, I’m grateful for your invitation, but I don’t think I’m qualified for this position."

Chen Qingdi wasn’t surprised. He nodded and said, "You’re a man of action, and that’s your strength. But the Mingyue Group needs someone who understands the ways of the world for this position. Do you understand?"

"I understand," Lone Wolf replied. "But I prefer being here with these slaves. I feel I can help them more effectively this way."

Hearing this, Chen Qingdi couldn’t help but feel a flicker of admiration. He mulled it over for a moment, then said, "Since that’s the case, I won’t force you. However, you’ll still need a helper. What do you think of Wu Tian?"

Lone Wolf’s gaze shifted to Wu Tian, a hint of confusion in his eyes. Wu Tian, on the other hand, sat there with a faint smile, quietly awaiting his answer.

"Wu Tian?" Lone Wolf asked slowly. "Is he willing to stay and help me?"

"Don’t worry," Chen Qingdi said with a smile. "I’ve already spoken with him. He’s more than willing to stay and help you manage this island. And I believe that with him by your side, you’ll do an even better job."

Lone Wolf was silent for a moment before nodding. "If that’s the case, then I’m relieved. With Wu Tian here, I’m confident the island will become a better place."

Chen Qingdi felt a sense of relief at his words. He stood up, gave Lone Wolf a deep look, and then turned to walk toward the door.

As he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to say something.

"Lone Wolf, remember, no matter what difficulties you face, you can come to me at any time. This island is our home now."

A warmth spread through Lone Wolf’s heart. He took a deep breath and nodded solemnly. "Mr. Chen, I’ll remember that. Thank you."

Chen Qingdi left the office with a smile. He walked down the stairs and toward the waiting helicopter. Li Feng was already on board, waiting for him.

He boarded the helicopter, his gaze sweeping one last time over the island where he had once lived. He couldn’t help but feel a faint sense of nostalgia.

As the roar of the helicopter faded into the distance, life on the island gradually returned to its peaceful state. Lone Wolf sat in his office, watching the bright sunlight spill over every corner of the island.

He knew he still had a heavy task ahead of him, but he was also confident he could handle it all. After all, he knew he had someone watching his back.

The moment Chen Qingdi returned to the Mingyue Group, he sensed the strange atmosphere in the office. Before he could even speak, an angry voice erupted, "President Chen, this man is completely unreasonable! I just wanted to cooperate with him, but he refused every which way and even started a physical fight!"

Chen Qingdi frowned, his gaze falling upon a businessman sitting on the sofa.

The businessman, Kojima Tetsumaro, was wearing an expensive leather coat and holding a crocodile-skin briefcase worth tens of thousands. One look was enough to know he was no ordinary person.

"Mr. Kojima, the Mingyue Group has always operated with integrity as our guiding principle. I’m not sure why you would say such a thing," Chen Qingdi asked in a low voice.

"Hmph, President Chen, you clearly don’t know what’s going on! This guy assaulted me and even said things like ’If you don’t agree, then get out!’ I came here to cooperate with him, how could he be so rude?" Kojima Tetsumaro said indignantly.

Chen Qingdi looked at Chen Yuan and saw him standing to the side with an embarrassed expression. Understanding dawned on Chen Qingdi. He asked in a low voice, "Chen Yuan, what exactly happened?"

"President Chen, it wasn’t like that. I was just trying to discuss the terms of our cooperation, but his conditions were too outrageous. We couldn’t reach an agreement, and things got physical," Chen Yuan explained.

"Then why did you hit me?" Kojima Tetsumaro demanded furiously.

"I didn’t hit him! I just wanted to throw him out!" Chen Yuan retorted loudly.

"That’s enough, both of you," Chen Qingdi said, waving his hand dismissively.

"Mr. Kojima, I apologize for this unpleasant experience. Chen Yuan is one of my most trusted men, and his actions were indeed excessive. I offer you my sincerest apologies."

Kojima Tetsumaro’s expression softened slightly at his words, but he was still not ready to let it go.

"President Chen, I’m not here to extort you. I simply want to cooperate, and actions like this only make me question your sincerity."

"We will do better," Chen Qingdi said calmly. "Mr. Kojima, I hope you can give us a chance to cooperate again."

Kojima Tetsumaro hesitated for a moment upon hearing this, but finally nodded. He took a business card from his briefcase and handed it to Chen Qingdi.

"President Chen, this is my contact information. If you’re interested in cooperating, feel free to contact me at any time." With that, he turned and left the office.

Silence fell over the office. Chen Qingdi let out a deep sigh and said, "Chen Yuan, come with me." After speaking, he turned and walked toward the inner office.

Chen Yuan followed behind Chen Qingdi, his heart filled with unease. He knew he had greatly disappointed Chen Qingdi this time.

But he also knew that this incident had taught him a lesson. From now on, he couldn’t be so impulsive.

Chen Qingdi sat on the sofa in his office and asked in a low, serious voice, "Chen Yuan, tell me the truth. What really happened?"

Chen Yuan forced himself to speak, "President Chen, I was negotiating the cooperation details with Kojima Tetsumaro, and I found his terms to be too unreasonable, so I disagreed. But he kept pestering me relentlessly and even started throwing punches. I couldn’t take it anymore, so I fought back."

"Did it not occur to you to report this to the investigation team?" Chen Qingdi asked gravely.

"I thought of it," Chen Yuan replied.

"But I didn’t think this incident was worth reporting to the investigation team. Besides, I didn’t want the company to suffer any negative consequences because of it."

"You were wrong," Chen Qingdi said flatly. "When handling matters like this, you should prioritize the company’s interests, not your own emotions."

Not long after, the businessman from the Outer Island, Kojima Tetsumaro, returned to Chen Qingdi’s office, apparently not ready to give up and looking to cause trouble.

Chen Qingdi’s office was on the top floor of a skyscraper, with floor-to-ceiling windows that overlooked the entire city.

At that moment, he was sitting at his desk, staring at a report he had no heart to read. His train of thought was broken by Kojima Tetsumaro’s arrival.

Kojima Tetsumaro was a businessman from the Outer Island. He was short in stature, but possessed a pair of sharp eyes.

He was known for his ruthless methods and aggressive business style, yet today, in Chen Qingdi’s office, he was showing a completely different side of himself.
