Ning Dongsheng temporarily stepped back, the expression on Lan Buqi's face turned ugly.
He did not expect Ning Dongsheng to be so ineffectual, to be pushed back by Yang Zhenshan so quickly.
What surprised him even more was how assertive Yang Zhenshan was, not giving any face to Ning Dongsheng at all.
This was not in line with his plan; he originally intended to ask Ning Dongsheng to intervene, to let Yang Zhenshan know the strength and power of the Lan family, to make Yang Zhenshan wary, and then invite Yang Zhenshan to sit down and talk properly!
It was acceptable to make concessions and even to give up some benefits, but he didn't want Yang Zhenshan to belittle the Lan family or to ride roughshod over them.
His ideal outcome was to have an equal, amicable relationship with Yang Zhenshan, and it would be best to form a cooperative relationship.
He had been confident about such a result before, but now he was somewhat worried.
