"If I hadn’t come to find you personally, I’m afraid the matter between us would just keep dragging on. Think about it: Chairman Ye, you didn't give any face to Tang Yi, our board member at Huawei, and you even made him come back saying he didn't want to tangle with you again.

"Elder Ren, isn't that putting it a bit strongly? What do you mean by 'I didn't give any face,' or 'not wanting to tangle with me'? I don't recall doing anything of the sort. I was simply being objective. Tell me, if the positions were reversed and you were standing in my shoes, would you have been able to continue talking to the other party under those circumstances? They came under the guise of cooperation, yet couldn't even state the most basic foundation for that partnership. How is one supposed to negotiate that?" Ye Chen replied.
