<h4>Chapter 1026: Chapter 1026: Negotiation Breakdown</h4>


    Gao Siyu tly refused Mayor Ji Mingyang’s proposal, even though the concessions offered by Mayor Ji were exceedingly generous!


    Lin Weiwei, Gao Dazhi, and even Zhang Meng couldn’t help but widen their eyes in disbelief as they stared at Gao Siyu.


    None of them had expected Gao Siyu to refuse so decisively!


    "Two more years, plus additional favorable policies? That’s a bit long!"


    "Mr. Ji, you’re a very busy man with countless affairs to handle, remembering or not remembering by then is another matter."


    "Besides, by that time, I’m afraid I won’t be managing affairs in Anjiang Province anymore."


    "What’s the point then?" Gao Siyu said with a chuckle.


    Gao Siyu made no secret of his desires in this affair; he wanted performance!


    "Mr. Gao, regarding all the ’contributions’ you have made on this matter, I can report them to headquarters. Thus, you needn’t worry too much about the current gains or losses," Lin Weiwei reminded him.


    Gao Siyu’s smiling face suddenly darkened, and he looked at Lin Weiweizily, his expression arrogant and haughty.


    "Miss Lin, did you not hear what I just said! You’re just a petty affairs assistant, it’s your ce to listen!"


    "You don’t get to speak here!"


    "Or do you not understand which position is higher, an affairs assistant or a provincial industry head!"


    Gao Siyu’s attitude towards Lin Weiwei was utterly crude.


    Even Gao Dazhi could hardly bear to listen, his eyes filled with resentment.


    Lin Weiwei, however, remained expressionless.


    Gao Siyu might be outrageously arrogant, but he was no fool!


    He was provoking her!


    Any slightest act of impoliteness from her would give him leverage!


    Moreover, everything happening here should be audible to Bai Xiaosheng.


    Although Lin Weiwei couldn’t wear headphones to receive instructions from Bai Xiaosheng, she was still certain.


    Bai Xiaosheng would take measures.


    Once he arrived, everything would resolve!


    Thus, Lin Weiwei simply treated Gao Siyu’s words as a dog barking.


    And beside her, Gao Dazhi, overwhelmed with anger, felt increasingly desperate.


    The way Lin Weiwei, with her status, was still disrespected showed that what Gao Siyu had previously mentioned to him was true.


    He truly had powerful backing and harbored no fear!


    "Gao Siyuing might still suffer humiliation," Gao Dazhi thought of Bai Xiaosheng and suddenly felt both desperate and uneasy.


    Bai Xiaosheng might not be able to fight back against him.


    And he, Gao Dazhi, truly did not want Bai Xiaosheng to offend this man, as it could affect his future prospects.


    "Mr. Gao, what would you like then?" Mayor Ji Mingyang finally spoke.


    The disagreement between the two parties was severe.


    For the sake of Zhongjing’s development, he, the mayor, had no choice but to hold back and negotiate.


    Let’s find apromise.


    A bnce point that everyone could ept!


    "In terms of support policies, I can agree to increase by 10%, as you suggested," Gao Siyu chuckled, "but shouldn’t the city government show some sincerity from other areas, like... themercial plots in the Development Zone, or perhaps the municipal projects in the Northern District!"


    Mayor Ji Mingyang’s eyes sharpened as he stared at Gao Siyu.


    Was this man actually targeting those interests?


    There was no way he, Mayor Ji Mingyang, would break the rules!


    Zhang Meng also looked fiercely.


    This Gao Siyu, truly audacious and reckless!


    "Mayor Ji, don’t look at me like that. We won’t break anyws or rules, we’ll provide sufficient funds, and ensure quality, what we need is just an opportunity," Gao Siyu said with a smile. "What do you say?"


    "If you agree, aside from Zhongjing Media, not only will otherpanies remain unaffected, but I will also bring several enterprises from other cities to help with Zhongjing’s development!"


    Gao Siyu upped the ante.


    "Mr. Gao, why not include Zhongjing Media?"


    Gao Dazhi, unable to restrain himself, suddenly trembled and asked in rm.


    His continual anxiety stemmed from Zhongjing Media.


    The reasons he had endured all the humiliations were still due to Zhongjing Media.


    Here was not just about work, but also carried the ideals of Gao Dazhi!


    But why did Gao Siyu specifically exclude Zhongjing Media!


    Gao Dazhi felt an unease deep inside.


    An ominous premonition.


    "Because Zhongjing Media will no longer exist!" Gao Siyu looked coldly at Gao Dazhi, his lips even bearing a faint smile.


    He did not disdain to respond just because Gao Dazhi held a low position, nor did he scold him.


    Instead, it directly resulted in aplete, terrifying oue!


    Gao Dazhi felt like he had been struck by lightning,pletely dumbfounded.


    He had always hoped for this and that, all to save Zhongjing Media!


    This was his greatest concern!


    Gao Dazhi’s dwindling career passion, reignited by Bai Xiaosheng, had led to his being entrusted with a significant role; he had dedicated himself wholeheartedly to his duties.


    At an age when one should understand one’s destiny, he had found the meaning of life—it was everything to him!


    But now...


    It was over.


    Everything was over!


    Gao Dazhi suddenly felt a chill in his heart.


    Despising Lin Weiwei as a representative of the group, arrogantly negotiating terms with Mayor Ji Mingyang, Gao Siyu was determined to dismantle and erase Zhongjing Media.


    Zhongjing Media would bepletely gone!


    By then, even if Bai Xiaosheng found the Senior Affairs Officer, found the President of the Greater China Region, and received support, what then?


    Zhongjing Media... would be gone!


    Gao Dazhi’s face turned ashen in an instant.


    He was totally bewildered.


    "Mr. Gao? Mr. Gao!" Lin Weiwei, startled, repeatedly called out in a low voice, but it seemed unable to bring back Gao Dazhi’s soul.


    Gao Siyu nced at Gao Dazhi with contempt.


    He had allowed this minor Vice President to sit here just to witness this scene.


    It was said that this little Vice President had a good rtionship with Bai Xiaosheng.


    "Mr. Gao, forgive me, but I cannot ept your proposal!"


    Mayor Ji Mingyang finally looked grim, his eyes hardened, as if he had made up his mind.


    "I know, once your enterprise leaves, the development here in Zhongjing will inevitably be hindered, even more severely than I had anticipated!"


    "But I will not simply pursue development at the expense of abandoning principles!"


    "There are some issues that cannot, and should not, be discussed!"


    Mayor Ji Mingyang left no room for negotiation.


    Gao Siyu looked regretful.


    "Mr. Ji, don’t be so quick toy down thew. Ourpany’s relocation will also take time."


    "During this period, if you think there’s still room for negotiation, we cane back!"


    "And so long as you agree to help, we can bring morepanies here, offering more support to Zhongjing!"


    Gao Siyu was determined, ready to ckmail the city government.


    Suddenly, Gao Dazhi stood up, his expression gloomy and deste, staggering towards the exit.


    "It’s over, thepany, it’s over!" he muttered under his breath.


    Zhongjing Media was gone, hope shattered.


    Gao Dazhi, exhausted in body and spirit, only thought of leaving.


    "Gao Dazhi, where do you think you’re going!" Seeing Gao Dazhi ignoring him and about to leave, Gao Siyu immediately frowned and shouted harshly.


    Another critical moment ruined!


    Such a person must be fired from thepany!


    Gao Dazhi seemed not to hear, still staggering towards the door.


    Lin Weiwei stood up and quickly followed him.


    She was very worried about Gao Dazhi, pondering whether she should first tell him the news of Bai Xiaosheng being here.


    "Both of you, how disgraceful! Keep walking, and don’t bothering back!" Gao Siyu shouted in a low voice.


    "Mr. Gao, I must also take my leave!" Mayor Ji Mingyang said coldly, standing up.


    Zhang Meng too had a cold expression.


    Everyone was leaving?


    "Then let me see you out," Gao Siyu said to Mr. Ji with some courtesy.


    After all, as he imagined, Mayor Ji Mingyang would still seek his coboration.


    It wasn’t time yet topletely sever ties.


    "No need!"


    The voice of Mayor Ji Mingyang was colder than ever before.


    On the other side, Gao Dazhi had already reached the door.


    The door opened.


    Someone walked in, a warm smile on their face.


    "So, just as I arrive, you all want to leave?"
