Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 14: Chapter 14 Misunderstanding

Lin Mengyao heard the sound of Lu Chi saying goodbye to Xu Jie and quickly composed herself to return to her seat, pretending as if nothing had happened.

"Sorry to keep you waiting, I was busy and couldn't step away." Xu Jie entered the room and gave Lin Mengyao an apologetic smile, showing no change from her initial demeanor.

"I suppose you might have guessed my reason for coming this time, may I ask why you're terminating the contract with Lin's? Don't get me wrong, this isn't meant as an interrogation; I just want to know the reason so we can improve. After all, Lin's is sincerely looking forward to collaborating with your company."

"Since you've asked, I won't hide it. Jiahe agreed to cooperate with Lin's not because Lin's is especially good, but because the person negotiating the contract was you. In other words, from the beginning, Jiahe didn't want to sign with Lin's, but with you." Xu Jie's words were very straightforward, so much so that the meaning was clear upon hearing them, yet it greatly shocked Lin Mengyao.

She had speculated many reasons for Jiahe's sudden breach of contract before coming, but never expected such a result; it was utterly unbelievable!

This... how could this be possible? How could she have the clout to make a company willing to pay a huge penalty for her, yet Xu Jie's words lingered in her ears, forcing her to accept this reality instead of it being a dream.

"If I understand correctly, does this mean if I take charge of the development project, Jiahe Group will continue its cooperation with Lin's, with no changes in the contract terms?" Lin Mengyao forced herself to remain calm and asked uncertainly.

"Yes, that's exactly what it means." Xu Jie replied firmly.

"I will secure the project's leadership rights as soon as possible and hope you will fulfill what you just said."
