Chapter 185: Re-signing
"What do I mean? Haha, if I hit you, even if it doesn't turn purple, the five finger marks should be clearly visible, right? For example... like this?"
Chu Siran finished his teasing words, and without waiting for anyone to react, a crisp "slap" sound rang in everyone's ears, leaving several clearly visible slap marks on Chu Xi's left cheek.
Before everyone reacted to Chu Siran's action, Chu Siran wiped his hands and looked at Li Mu. "Did you see that, young master of the Li family? If I wanted to hit Chu Xi, I should have used this much force. The slap mark on Chu Xi's face just now was really her pulling my hand and hitting her herself. If you don't believe me, ask everyone here."
Chu Siran finished speaking leisurely, his eyes sweeping over the crowd of people who were enjoying the feast. However, those who could attend the Li family dinner were all related to the Li family. As Chu Xi was Li Mu's fiancée, they would not lose face for the Li family. They just shook their heads, indicating that they had not seen anything.
Li Mu didn't care what Chu Siran said now. Even if Chu Siran didn't slap him in the first place, he saw the second slap clearly!
"Chu Siran, don't you think you're a little too arrogant?"
"I don't think so. I've always been like this. It's not the first day you've known me. And I hate it most when people misunderstand me. If I didn't slap you the first time, then it wasn't me. If you insist on not believing me, then I can only demonstrate it to you."
Chu Siran was still standing not far from Li Mu. Because she had just beaten Chu Xi, Chu Siran was in an especially good mood. So good that she didn't notice Li Mu's angry gaze and outstretched hand...
Seeing this, Lin Yilan grabbed Chu Siran and rushed to Li Mu, knocking away his outstretched hand. "Young Master Li, are you planning a sneak attack from behind?"
"So what?" Li Mu was obviously a little embarrassed and snorted coldly, "Chu Siran was so arrogant and domineering at our Li family banquet. Shouldn't I teach her a lesson? Besides, it seems that we didn't invite you to our Li family banquet. What are you doing here? Are you deliberately trying to cause trouble?"
"We are here to look for your father." Lin Yilan replied indifferently.
"See my father? Haha, you guys are in such a mess and still want to see my father. You really think you are too serious. Come on, get these two women out of the banquet. They are not welcome at our Li family banquet!"
"Tsk, I don't care. If I can't meet him, then I can't meet him. It's the Li family who broke the contract, so they're the ones in the wrong. At worst, I can just give out free milk tea in my milk tea shop for a day tomorrow and find another supplier."
Lin Yilan looked at Chu Siran, pulled her close, and whispered in her ear, "Is it really okay?"
"The Li family will have to pay a huge penalty for breach of contract anyway, so our milk tea shop can't afford to lose money. When the shop launches new products tomorrow, I'll spread the news of the Li family's breach of contract and ruin their reputation!"
When Li Mu heard Chu Siran say this, the smug look on his face instantly disappeared. Looking at Li Mu like this, Chu Siran couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips.
"Young Master Li, if I'm not mistaken, it was you who caused the Li Group to suddenly change their minds and refuse to cooperate, right? And if I'm not mistaken, you don't realize that if you breach the contract, your company will suffer far more losses than my milk tea shop, right?"
Seeing Li Mu's eyes widen instantly, Chu Siran knew that he had guessed correctly. He had thought that Li Mu was a returnee and knew the most basic business knowledge, but he had never thought that he was an idiot who knew nothing...
Chu Siran finished speaking, pulling Lin Yilan to walk out, "Your security guards don't need to chase me away. I'm too lazy to stay here any longer."
Lin Yilan was a little overwhelmed by all this. Wasn't this cooperation very important? Why was Chu Siran so nonchalant now?
Chu Siran could see Lin Yilan's confusion, and the smile on his face never faded. "My assistant just sent me an electronic copy of the contract between Cass and the Li family. The liquidated damages the Li family paid are enough to treat hundreds of thousands of people to milk tea. If they don't want to cooperate with us, then we'll just do it. Anyway, I'm really annoyed by the Li family."
"But is this really okay?" Lin Yilan was still a little worried.
"Don't worry. Li Mu's actions will only hurt us eight hundred and herself a thousand. Moreover, she did all this behind her father's back. I'm really curious about how Li's father will react when he finds out..."
While Chu Siran and Lin Yilan were talking about this, they kept walking outside, regardless of everyone's reactions at the banquet, and just walked out.
Chu Siran's assistant's car had already parked on the side of the road. After Lin Yilan and Chu Siran got into the car, Chu Siran directly instructed the assistant to wait until the Li family banquet was over today and then surround Li's father to ask the Li family to pay the penalty for breach of contract.
At first, she was not sure whether Chu Xi was really behind the Li family's breach of contract, but after this banquet, she was certain.
However, what Chu Siran did not expect was that the reason why Cass disappeared after entering the banquet was that he went directly to find Li's father. The result could naturally be guessed.
Father Li didn't know about the sudden termination of the contract. He was shocked and quickly signed a new contract with Cass. When Chu Siran learned about all this, he was actually a little unhappy.
She had already planned to give out free milk tea at the milk tea shop tomorrow, but now Cas came to tell her that the contract issue had been settled and he could supply tea and snacks to the milk tea shop as usual tomorrow...
"Cas, if you really want to cooperate with the Li family, I think our contract needs to be revised."
"What do you mean?" Cass was still telling Chu Siran the good news with excitement, but when he heard Chu Siran's cold tone, the corners of his smiling mouth twitched.
"It's you, Cass, who's going to cooperate with the Li family. Our milk tea shop won't have anything to do with them. I think our partnership should change from a three-way partnership to a two-way partnership between you and me. Any problems with your future collaboration will have nothing to do with me, Yiran. However, if there's any problem with your tea supply, we'll hold you directly accountable."
Hearing Chu Siran's words, Cass's mouth stiffened. "Miss Chu, this is probably inappropriate. Our contract was signed in advance, and your behavior can be regarded as a breach of contract."
"I'm sorry, I don't think so. When we signed the contract, it stated that finding a third-party partner was a decision to be made after mutual consultation. However, it was you, Cass, who acted on your own to partner with the Li family. If you're talking about a breach of contract, it's you who breached it."
Cass couldn't convince Chu Siran, so he had no choice but to do as Chu Siran said, and the two of them signed another contract.
Originally, Chu Siran had done this because he was angry at Cas for acting on his own initiative, and also for the sake of the milk tea shop's interests. However, Chu Siran's request to re-sign the contract had unexpectedly caused Cas's impression of Chu Siran to plummet to a negative level, planting a huge bomb for the milk tea shop's future crisis...
