Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 67

Having heard Ye Yuning’s statement, Chen Wei became somewhat conflicted.

"When Assistant Lai arrives later, what do you plan to do? Cooperate directly?"

"If the penalty for breach is lowered, then naturally, we can only cooperate."

"If we don’t budge, wouldn’t that confirm we’re toying with the newly appointed Seventh Master Xiao?"

Such blatantly disrespectful acts should be avoided whenever possible.

However, in Ye Yuning’s view, considering Seventh Master Xiao’s methods since his return from abroad, he likely wouldn’t agree to her demands. Perhaps this was his last chance for her; if she kept insisting on the penalty for breach without yielding, he might very well tell her: "Never cooperate with the Xiao Corporation again!" If that happened, it would be exactly what Ye Yuning wanted. After all, her relationship with the Xiao Corporation was indeed rather complicated; cooperation was quite frustrating.

Chen Wei gasped, then shook her head. "I think it’ll be difficult!"

Contracts within such large corporations are generally standardized, rarely altered for anyone’s benefit.

Thinking of this, Chen Wei grew somewhat worried that Ye Yuning’s approach might infuriate the Xiao Corporation. Not cooperating was one thing; her main concern was potential retaliation. Although their studio was number one in Upper City, it was still small. They couldn’t withstand being messed with by a behemoth like that!

"Since it’s difficult to change, then we’ll just have to not cooperate," Ye Yuning said, looking quite indifferent.

But Chen Wei’s mouth twitched. "Are you sure this won’t provoke retaliation from the Xiao Corporation?"

Previously, any explanation she had requested was given. Xiao Lin had beaten Xiao Shuo, Xiao Shuo had apologized to her, and even Ye Tong no longer dared to trouble her. All of this was due to Seventh Master Xiao’s influence. Now, after returning from a three-day business trip, was Ye Yuning just going to flip and act as if none of that mattered? This...! Chen Wei grew even more worried. fɾeewebnoveℓ.co๓

"Don’t worry, I know what I’m doing," Ye Yuning assured her.

"Well... alright then." Since Ye Yuning had spoken so decisively, Chen Wei found it hard to say anything more.

Meanwhile, Lai Shuo hadn’t yet departed for Manlang when he bumped into Xiao Linye at the company.

Speaking of going to Manlang, Lai Shuo felt a headache coming on. After a few encounters, he had a fair idea of how difficult Boss Ye was to deal with. He had a gut feeling that this afternoon’s cooperation talks would fall through.

He looked at Xiao Linye, somewhat conflicted. "Seventh Master, what if Boss Ye keeps insisting on lowering the penalty for breach?"

That woman didn’t seem to be joking at all. Although their interactions hadn’t been extensive, her words left very little room for negotiation.

Xiao Linye shot him a cold glance. "Do I still need to teach you how to handle this?"

Lai Shuo was speechless. No, no need! Alright, he understood now. If Boss Ye still didn’t know what was good for her today, then he wouldn’t have to be polite anymore.

"Alright, I understand," Lai Shuo replied, his expression instantly turning serious as he nodded.

Xiao Linye lit a cigarette. "We’ve given all the explanations we needed to. As for the penalty for breach she’s proposing, it’s indeed unreasonable."

"You’re right!" Lai Shuo nodded again. It was true. Although it was their fault before, they had made the necessary amends. Besides, they had even doubled her design fee, which was reasonable compensation. Her harping on about the penalty for breach... what was that if not deliberate fault-finding?

"When will the blood sample from over there be sent back?" Xiao Linye asked.

"They’ve been notified, but there’s no response yet. It should be in the next few days." Lai Shuo was startled by the question. He’d been so preoccupied with Boss Ye’s issues these past two days that he’d completely overlooked this. But, admittedly, this matter seemed even more important.

They talked for about ten minutes before Lai Shuo left the company for Manlang.

When he arrived, he encountered Zheng Cai in the elevator. Lai Shuo had gained a preliminary understanding of the Ye Family members. He certainly hadn’t forgotten that Ye Yuning had recently been blaming all the trouble caused by these people directly on the Xiao Corporation. After all, Zheng Cai’s daughter, Ye Tong, was engaged to the Third Young Master, Xiao Shuo! He hadn’t even started negotiations with Ye Yuning, and now more trouble was brewing here from her family? Was Ye Yuning going to blame this on the Xiao Corporation too? At that thought, Lai Shuo’s expression turned grim.

Seeing Zheng Cai step out of the elevator with a dark expression, Lai Shuo immediately called Xiao Shuo to explain the situation.

When Xiao Shuo heard over the phone that Zheng Cai had gone to bother Ye Yuning again, he said without a second thought, "I’ve already told Ye Tong I’m breaking up with her. From now on, the Ye Family’s issues have nothing to do with us!" His intention to dissociate was blatantly clear.

Hearing this, Lai Shuo’s face darkened completely. He said bluntly, "Then why don’t you take that up with the Seventh Master?"

"No, Assistant Lai, aren’t you being a bit unreasonable?" Xiao Shuo retorted. He’d already broken up with that woman, Ye Tong. Why would he go to his Seventh Uncle about this? Considering the huge price his family had paid this time, he had learned his lesson and broken up with Ye Tong. He’d finally had a couple of quiet days; how could he dare provoke his Seventh Uncle now?

"I’d like to reason with you, honestly," Lai Shuo said, "but I doubt Manlang’s Boss Ye will be reasoned with by us."
