Hu Zhonglian closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat, his mind a tangled mess, as if a thousand little people were pounding drums inside his head, making his scalp tingle and his ears ring.
His eyes remained closed, "Speak."
Kang Lian organized his thoughts for a good while before speaking. "Do you remember I mentioned a limited edition Patek Philippe watch to you before?"
Hu Zhonglian opened his eyes in irritation. "Haven't I told you before, I don't like that brand of watches. Why are you bringing this up now?"
Seeing Hu Zhonglian's impatience, Kang Lian swallowed, his voice much lower, "I'm sorry, President Hu, but what I'm about to say is related to this."
Hu Zhonglian still looked away, showing his disdain.
Kang Lian knew Hu was in a bad mood but, after hesitating several times, decided to speak the truth.
