Flash Marriage: The Billionaire Addicted to Her-Chapter 71

The Xiao Family clearly thought their compensation offer was generous.

But only the staff at Manlang truly understood how hard it was to earn their money!

Although Ye Yuning didn’t say it outright, her casual tone made it clear to Lai Shuo: she was still upset about the recent chaotic period!

Lai Shuo cast a cold glance at Ye Yuning. "But this time the Xiao Family doubled the compensation. Nanjia Peak was going to give you 5,000,000 in fees, isn’t that more than what you’d make from five outside jobs combined?"

His tone was clearly not as pleasant as before.

In his view, they had only requested Manlang to make one revision at the time. Furthermore, aside from the rejected draft, they had also handled many other matters for her. Did she really need to hold such a grudge?

Seeing Lai Shuo’s expression darken, Ye Yuning nodded. "Indeed, it’s more, but I am not fond of excessive pressure!"

"Although the penalty fees for previously working with the Xiao Family were also high, it’s still different."

The way she emphasized "different" was heavily laden with meaning, and her implications were quite clear!

Third Master Xiao didn’t really manage these aspects.

And the manager who dealt with them had a lot of trust in them, so the cooperation had been quite pleasant!

But since Seventh Master Xiao came into the picture, although they hadn’t met yet, Ye Yuning could already sense the level of his nitpicking!

The penalty fees that hadn’t been extracted during Third Master Xiao’s era were very likely to happen with this man.

Considering this, Ye Yuning had to be cautious.

Her phrase "it’s still different" clearly indicated to Lai Shuo what she was hinting at.

His expression turned even uglier.

"In the end, Ms. Ye, you still don’t really want to continue cooperating with the Xiao Family, is that correct?"

Ye Yuning was speechless. Could I just nod directly?

She indeed did not wish to cooperate anymore...!

However, since she wasn’t very familiar with Seventh Master Xiao of the Xiao Family, she had to be circumspect. "I’m sorry, we really can’t accept such a high penalty fee!"

She thought she was being quite tactful, but Lai Shuo’s face turned even sterner.

At this point, it was obvious there was no need to continue the discussion.

Xiao Linye would not agree to reduce the penalty considerably, and without a reduction, Ye Yuning wouldn’t agree either.

How could they still negotiate?

It was just as Xiao Linye had said: if she didn’t know what was good for her, then there was no need to talk further!

Lai Shuo stood up, nodding. "Alright, I will convey Ms. Ye’s intentions to Seventh Master Xiao accurately!"

His tone was clearly resentful!

Ye Yuning’s mouth twitched. Really? Even after speaking so politely, had I still managed to anger him?

This is still a discussion, right? Can one get angry over a disagreement...!?

Seeing the transformation in Lai Shuo before and after, Ye Yuning was more certain than ever that they could not cooperate. freeweɓnovēl.coɱ

Lai Shuo left angrily!

Chen Wei entered soon after. "Ms. Ye, he has left."

Ye Yuning picked up her water glass, drinking with some irritation. "I know!"

He had just left right in front of me; how could I not know?

Chen Wei looked at her with a troubled expression; it was a look that clearly boded ill.

Ye Yuning put down her water glass and raised an eyebrow. "Did he leave cursing under his breath?"

"That’s not the case!" Chen Wei shook her head! An assistant from the Xiao Family’s top management, how could he behave in such a tasteless manner?

And the fact that Ye Yuning asked such a question showed she had faced many such people before.

Just take Zheng Cai and Ye Tong, who always arrived pompously only to leave cursing all the way?

Seeing Ye Yuning remain silent, Chen Wei added, "But when he left, his face clearly looked bad."

Ye Yuning was speechless again. It would be strange if his expression *were* good.

Besides, Lai Shuo’s attitude upon leaving did make me feel somewhat guilty.

Though I was stern about the conditions of cooperation with the Xiao Family, I really wasn’t sure deep down!

I was unwilling to be squeezed by such an unscrupulous partner, but I also feared the Xiao Family’s retaliation!

After all, there were too many unscrupulous individuals in the Xiao Family. I didn’t know what kind of person Seventh Master Xiao was either.

But one thing was clear!

If the Xiao Family really retaliated, I would not have any means to fight back.

"What a headache!" Ye Yuning exclaimed, tapping her own head.

I’m only trying to work properly, choosing my own business partners as a boss—is that wrong?

How could it seem like I can’t even make my own decisions? What kind of situation is this?

Seeing her state, Chen Wei’s mouth twitched. "Did you really offend him?"

"You already know he left with a bad expression. Isn’t that offending him?"

Chen Wei was silent.

Chen Wei thought, Well, this boss of hers was always audacious.

But of all the people she could offend, did she have to pick the Xiao Family?!

Collectively, none of them wanted to be exploited by an unscrupulous partner, but couldn’t she have phrased things more diplomatically?

If we don’t want to cooperate, then fine, but why offend them?

It had to be said, the Xiao Family already had a rather poor reputation among all Manlang employees!

But everyone was also clear that they couldn’t afford to offend them easily.
