Lin Xi’s face turned pale. She smiled dryly and didn’t say anything, praying that Jiang Xin would come quickly.

While waiting, just by standing there, Li Hui already had an invisible pressure, making Lin Xi unable to breathe.

Lin Xi wanted to cry but had no tears. As expected of someone nurtured by a large corporation, his aura was so powerful.

Fortunately, Jiang Xin arrived quickly. Lin Xi heaved a sigh of relief and quickly went up to her. “Miss.”

Jiang Xin nodded. When she saw Li Hui, she couldn’t help but frown. She didn’t like the aura that Li Hui exuded. Li Hui was just a small assistant. What right did she have to throw a tantrum at her?

But what Jiang Xin didn’t know was that Li Hui was an orphan. She had been adopted by the Su Family when she was young and was nurtured as the assistant of the future heir of the Su Family Corporation. She had also sworn that she would never betray the Su Family in her life, so although she was a small assistant of the Su Family Corporation, she had the authority as the third person in-charge other than Su Jing and Su Wan.

The leaders of various companies who wanted to cooperate with the Su Corporation understood some of the behind-the-scenes things and respected Li Hui. However, Li Hui was not proud and complacent because of this. Instead, she always understood her identity and position and had never crossed the line.

Back then, Jiang Xin only knew that the Su Corporation had a deep foundation and a huge potential for development. She was afraid that others would beat her to it, so she fought for the opportunity to cooperate, but she did not systematically understand the internal structure of its members.

Even when they first signed the contract, the president of the Su Corporation had never appeared. It was signed by Li Hui.

Li Hui turned around and saw Jiang Xin. She nodded without changing her expression as a form of greeting. Before Jiang Xin could speak, she said bluntly, “Since President Jiang is here, sign the termination agreement. The president is still waiting for my reply.”

Before Su Jing gave the order, he told her about Jing Hao being kidnapped by Jiang Xin and also told her that there was no need to be afraid of Jiang Xin. Therefore, at this moment, Li Hui’s tone towards Jiang Xin was not very good.

When Jiang Xin heard this, her expression darkened slightly, but the other party was from the Su Corporation, so she couldn’t do anything to him. She smiled insincerely and said, “Terminate the contract? Why terminate the contract so suddenly? Didn’t we have a good chat when we discussed cooperating with your company back then?”

Li Hui looked at Jiang Xin with a faint smile and said tactfully, “After much consideration, President Su felt that it was inappropriate to cooperate, so I was tasked to handle the termination of the contract. President Jiang, please don’t make things difficult for me.”

The “President Su” Li Hui was referring to was naturally Su Jing, but the actual CEO was Su Wan. Only a few higher-ups in the Su Corporation knew about this. Su Jing was only acting on Su Wan’s behalf to help Su Wan deal with the company’s matters.

As for Su Jing and Su Wan’s relationship, the company staff had always kept it a secret and were not allowed to reveal it to outsiders.

However, Su Jing had always doted on his sister and doted on Su Wan’s two sons even more. Jiang Xin had offended the wrong person, so she should pay a huge price.

Li Hui naturally wouldn’t tell Jiang Xin about this.

When Jiang Xin heard the last sentence, the fake smile froze on her lips. She made it sound like she was deliberately making things difficult for her.

However, when the two companies cooperated, it would definitely be mutually beneficial for both parties to sign the contract. Usually, they would not rashly terminate the contract because they would have to face a huge penalty for breaching the contract in advance.

But now, the Su Corporation had actually given such a sloppy reason. They had given her the penalty without even blinking.

“Assistant Li, this reason doesn’t convince me. I can’t sign this termination agreement either.” Jiang Xin refused.

When she gained the opportunity to cooperate with the Su Corporation, she had been in the limelight in the business world for a long time. She had thought that the Jiang Corporation would be able to rise to glory in her hands. Now that she was suddenly told that they would terminate their cooperation, wouldn’t she become a joke if word got out?

“President Jiang, he who understands the times is a wise man. I think you understand this principle.” Li Hui smiled, but her smile did not reach her eyes. She pointed at the three black boxes on the table at the side. “The penalty for breach of contract. 30 million. It’s ten times more than the penalty on the contract. They’re all here.”

The three boxes had been opened and the hundred-dollar bills were neatly placed inside.

The meaning was very clear. Jiang Xin had to sign the termination agreement today.

Jiang Xin’s face turned pale. She had never been threatened like this!
