Brady met with Hogson, ostensibly to discuss business dealings in Oshan. After initial pleasantries and a shared tea ceremony, Brady revealed his true intentions: to form an alliance with Hogson to target Bai Xiaosheng. Brady expressed his indignation over how Bai Xiaosheng had allegedly harmed the Hogson family's interests and hinted that Bai Xiaosheng was now bringing in new partners, threatening both their positions in Oshan. He proposed they join forces to counter Bai Xiaosheng and potentially eliminate both him and Anlos from Oshan's business future.

Brady decided to strike while the iron was hot, "Mr. Hogson..."

Before Brady could continue, he heard a knock on his office door.

His words were abruptly interrupted.

The knocking paused momentarily, then resumed insistently.

Hogson glanced at the door and then at him.

Brady offered an apologetic smile, "I’ll go check!"

He got up and hurried to the door; as he turned his back to Hogson, his brow furrowed into a knot, unable to suppress the anger burning in his eyes.

What a great atmosphere it was just now, what a golden opportunity, it seemed with just a little more effort, Hogson was about to agree!

Who was coming to cause trouble at this time?

How infuriating!

Brady decided that as soon as he opened the door, he would unleash a torrent of abuse, he had clearly instructed not to disturb, who was so blind!

Filled with anger, Brady yanked open the office door.

At the door, Brady’s confidant, seeing his expression, quickly moved aside and let the people behind him be visible first.

Then, the person whispered urgently, "Mr. Brady, they insisted on seeing you!"

"Who..." Brady asked with enraged eyes, but then suddenly froze.

He saw a tall one and a short one, a man and a woman, one robust and tall, the other graceful and elegant...

Aren’t these Bai Xiaosheng’s followers, Lei Ying and Lin Weiwei?

Brady’s fury was instantly smothered; he instinctively stepped out of the office and closed the door behind him.

This action, on the contrary, made Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying glance unconsciously behind him.

"What do you want?" Brady calmed his mood in a flash and asked loudly.

Before Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying could speak, Brady coldly laughed and retorted, "Could it be that Bai Xiaosheng wants you two to investigate our company again? You two, first-class investigators from the headquarters surveillance department!"

This sentence carried a tone of sarcasm, but Brady was honestly curious.

Why were these two people here?

Lin Weiwei smiled and stepped forward, politely saying, "You misunderstood, Mr. Brady, we’re not here to investigate Keruoge headquarters; we came specifically to deliver something to you."

"Oh?" Brady raised an eyebrow, chuckled softly and coldly, "Bai Xiaosheng sent you, what are you delivering?"

Lin Weiwei took out an invitation card, smiling and handed it over with both hands, "Our Mr. Bai wants to invite you to dinner."

Invite me to dinner?

Brady furrowed his brow, reached out to take the invitation and flipped it open to read.

The date was for tomorrow night.

What’s this Bai Xiaosheng doing!

Could it be, trying to mend the relationship with my side?

Brady chuckled repeatedly coldly.

If he had known this earlier, why did he act like that before?

"As the general manager of Keruoge company, I’m very busy, I may not have time to attend the appointment."

Brady waved the invitation lazily.

This attitude was full of disdain.

"Please do your best to attend, it’s an important meeting." Lin Weiwei smiled, "Of course, if you really don’t want to come, Mr. Bai says it’s up to you, but you might regret that decision later."

Is this an invitation or a threat!

Brady’s face darkened, he glanced at his confidant beside him, and said in a deep voice, "Show them out!"

After saying that, without looking back, he returned to his office.

As the office door closed, Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying exchanged a glance and, without wasting words, turned and left.

Brady returned to Hogson, seeing Hogson looking at the invitation in his hand, lifted it slightly, and sneered, "It was sent by Bai Xiaosheng, saying he’s inviting me over for dinner tomorrow. Haha, it’s his attempt to mend relations with me, but it’s not that easy!"

Brady said seriously, "I’m full of resentment towards Bai Xiaosheng, it’s not something a single meal can dissolve!"

Seeing Hogson’s expression, seemingly not quite believing.

To show his stance, Brady directly tore the invitation in half with a "rip" and casually threw it into the trash can next to him, as if holding it for another moment would dirty his hand.

"Hmph, I won’t go!" Brady declared.

Hogson, with a slight smile, said, "I’ve accepted the invitation."

Just a few words.

Brady realized and was momentarily stunned.

Hogson also received an invitation?

And accepted it?

That meal wasn’t specifically for him?

Who else did Bai Xiaosheng invite?!

Hogson stood up with a smile, "It seems Anlos also received an invitation."

"Mr. Brady, I have many things to do today, I need to finish quickly so I have time to attend the banquet tomorrow."

"About what you said earlier, we’ll leave it at that for today, if there’s another chance, we’ll continue the discussion."

"Well then, I’ll excuse myself first."
