If this incident had occurred an hour ago, he would only have dealt with it in a perfunctory way, or rather, leaned slightly more towards Michel.
After all, although he was eager to befriend Gu Heng, a fellow supercar enthusiast, personal relations would definitely not take precedence over corporate interests.
As for now, the reason he could unhesitatingly side with Gu Heng was also because of interests.
Gu Heng had already confirmed a deal with Douglas Pignol, amounting to millions of euros. Clearly, Gu Heng's financial strength was massive. If he could become good friends with Gu Heng, the value generated would undoubtedly be a thousand times, even ten thousand times stronger than with partners like Michel and Mary.
Whether he discriminated or not, to Frederick Arnault, it simply didn't matter...
He only cared about tangible benefits...
Gu Heng could guess what was on Frederick Arnault's mind and nodded at him with a smile.
