After leaving the National Tourism Building, Liu Mei returned to her car and didn't rush to start the engine. Instead, she sat there for a while.
She was feeling very downcast because her collaboration with National Travel Group had fallen through completely!
No matter how she tried to explain the situation, Vice President Li stubbornly refused to agree to cooperate.
Liu Mei had tried to gauge whether Vice President Li was seeking some form of pay-off. However, Vice President Li made it clear that it had nothing to do with that and adamantly emphasized his refusal due to government policy.
Cooperating with Xiao Ying Hotel perhaps could have helped National Travel Group increase its profits, but the risks involved were disproportionate.
Especially when these risks could threaten their "official hat", no one was willing to take such a risk...
After a good while, Liu Mei took out her mobile phone, checked the time, and dialed Wang Ye's number.
