Chapter 28 Why did this happen?!
"who?"
Xie Jinghuai paused, thinking he had misheard.
"Ye Yu from Dingming Law Firm, the one my wife knows..." Han Xu regretted saying the last part the moment he said it.
Xie Jinghuai's face was already icy cold, and his knuckles were white as he gripped the pen.
"Um... if you don't want to see him, I'll go and ask him to leave right now..."
"See."
Xie Jinghuai leaned back, his tall frame revealing a chilling aura. "Tell him to wait in the reception room."
...
Today, Ye Yu wore a custom-made dark blue suit with a matching dark patterned tie, looking very refined and formal.
His assistant, sitting next to him, kept glancing at his watch, clearly furious.
"President Ye, we've been sitting here for an hour, why hasn't Xie Jinghuai shown up yet? Could he be playing us for a fool and refusing to see us?"
"Won't."
Ye Yurui's phoenix eyes held a faint smile, and he remained calm and composed. "If he wanted to see us, he would have refused on the spot, and we wouldn't have been made to sit here and wait for so long."
The assistant scoffed, "They didn't even offer to pour us a cup of tea. They're such a jerk!"
Ye Yu smiled and said, "He really is a scoundrel."
As soon as he finished speaking, the door to the reception room opened, and Xie Jinghuai and Han Xu walked in one after the other.
"I hope Attorney Ye won't mind that I was delayed by a meeting." The man glanced at him coldly, his eyes arrogant and domineering.
Ye Yu smiled in a very formulaic way, "Of course not, after all, I came uninvited."
Xie Jinghuai frowned slightly, his disgust pouring out from his dark eyes.
He had been so aggressive towards Ye Yu before, saying such hurtful things, but now that they met again, this guy could still smile so brightly at him.
Heh... Xie Jinghuai curled his thin lips in disdain.
Jiang Shiyuan, is this the man you've set your sights on?
They have no dignity whatsoever. In the face of my powerful capital, even the top lawyer has to kneel and speak, and is nothing more than a lackey.
"I have other commitments, so get to the point quickly." Xie Jinghuai flipped his wrist and glanced at his watch.
Even the assistant couldn't stand it anymore!
He had met countless important figures and handled numerous major cases with General Manager Ye, and he was always treated to the finest tea and water.
This Xie Jinghuai is too arrogant and looks down on people!
Ye Yu didn't rush to state his purpose. Instead, he got up, walked to the table, and pulled out a chair to sit down.
"Mr. Xie, please don't stand, let's sit down and talk."
Han Xu's inner monologue: Good grief, they're treating this like their own living room!
Xie Jinghuai's phoenix eyes darkened as he walked to the table and sat down. His body, hidden beneath his suit, was taut with every inch of his strong muscles, a clear sign of confrontation.
Seeing his expression, Ye Yu's smile deepened.
He really wanted to show Jiang Shiyuan Xie Jinghuai his ridiculous appearance at this moment.
It looks just like a male dog chained up in the yard, on high alert, ready to pounce and bite at any moment.
"Attorney Ye should know that we are not in a relationship where we can sit down and talk peacefully. I will not give my time to people I dislike." Xie Jinghuai tapped the table with his long, slender fingers, each tap heavier than the last, a domineering warning.
"Xiao Qi, take it out and give it to President Xie." Ye Yu looked at the man and gave the order calmly.
"Yes, Mr. Ye."
The assistant deftly opened the briefcase, pulled out a document, and handed it to Ye Yu with both hands.
Ye Yu pointed his neat middle finger at the document and slowly pushed it towards Xie Jinghuai:
"Please take a look at this, Mr. Xie."
Xie Jinghuai stared at his middle finger, a nameless fire burning fiercely in his chest.
He felt like he had been insulted.
Ye Yu is deliberately provoking us!
But if he gets angry, he will fall into his trap, so he can only endure it for the time being.
The first thing that caught Xie Jinghuai's eye was the four large characters "Termination Agreement" on the cover.
He didn't take it seriously at first. The Xie Group's business empire spanned the entire country and even Asia, and the Ministry of Justice could handle more than a dozen of these cases every month.
But the moment he turned to the first page and the name "Nora" jumped clearly into his eyes, his usually indifferent pupils trembled violently, and his body suddenly leaned forward!
"What does this mean?" Xie Jinghuai suppressed his emotions, his voice becoming hoarse.
Han Xu also leaned over to look and was shocked!
Nora signed a three-year contract with the Xie Group, and the two years of cooperation have been pleasant.
With her support, the two new energy vehicles launched by Xie's Group last year caused a huge stir and attracted a lot of attention in China. As soon as they were released, sales were booming and orders were booked for the following year.
Nora single-handedly helped the Xie Group, which had never ventured into the new energy vehicle industry before, to quickly establish itself and capture the market, making him a major contributor behind the scenes for the Xie Group.
Xie Jinghuai never hesitated to praise Nora, both inside and outside the company. He could count the number of people he truly admired on one hand, and Nora was one of them.
He was originally confident that Nora would renew her contract when it expired next year.
Unexpectedly, what awaited her was a termination agreement!
Everything was going so well, wasn't it? Their collaboration had always been pleasant! Why is this happening?!
Xie Jinghuai cannot accept this ending!
"It's written very clearly in black and white, Mr. Xie."
Ye Yu raised the corner of his lips, exuding a powerful aura of "the advantage is mine". "Ms. Nora has officially hired me as her lawyer, and I will represent her in negotiating the termination agreement with your group."
Ms. Nora wishes to terminate her partnership with your group as soon as possible. As for the compensation, she will pay it in full, without shortfall.
Xie Jinghuai's handsome face was chillingly cold as he crumpled the paper. "Our cooperation has always been very pleasant. Why does Nora want to terminate the contract?"
Ye Yu smiled.
"If she has grievances or conditions, she can simply raise them. Why take it this far?"
"Mr. Xie and Ms. Nora have been working together for so long. Do you really think Ms. Nora is such a greedy and self-serving person? And—"
A dark glint flashed in Ye Yu's eyes. "How can President Xie be so confident that his time with Ms. Nora was pleasant?"
Xie Jinghuai's jawline tightened, and his brain raced.
I still can't figure out which part of the process went wrong.
"President Xie, you can have someone from Xie's legal department come over right now to take a look at the termination agreement. If it's acceptable, we can complete the process today."
I can't wait!
Xie Jinghuai didn't call his legal counsel; instead, he personally skimmed through the agreement, his sharp gaze almost piercing the paper.
"Is one hundred million enough for the penalty for breach of contract?"
Ye Yuqing's handsome face paused for a moment.
The man's thin lips twitched, and he raised his eyes with a chilling gaze:
"In the contract I gave Nora before, there was a clause that if Nora breached the contract, she would have to bear the reputational damage to Xie's Group in the industry, totaling 50 million."
That adds up to 150 million.
Han Xian and his assistant were both speechless.
No matter how amazing Nora is, she's just a designer. Where would she get so much money?
It should be "Tiandi Bank Limited"?!
Seeing that Ye Yu remained silent, Xie Jinghuai slightly raised his thin lips and leaned back in his chair.
"I need to discuss this with Ms. Nora. Please wait a moment."
As he spoke, Ye Yu raised his hand and pressed the button on the Bluetooth earphone hanging on his left ear.
A few seconds later, Jiang Shiyuan's gentle voice came through the earphones:
"Senior, how did the talks go?"
