I chatted with Xiao Yue for a while before we parted.
Wandering in the street aimlessly, I almost broke down at the thought of what happened in the past few days.
“Never mind. Go home and take a good rest,” I said to myself.
I was reluctant to think about my previous misunderstanding of my husband as I had faith in his love for me.
And I was confident that he would never betray me.
When I was in a trance, a colleague called me.
After learning that there was a serious problem with a batch of mainboards we produced, I hang up in a hurry and rushed to the company.
I was hoping to solve the problem as soon as possible and minimize the loss.
However, it was too late.
The moment I arrived at the company without even catching my breath, I was told that the legal team of the other party had already arrived. Then I was urged to get to the meeting room.
All those legal team members were already waiting when I stepped into the meeting room. Looking at their emotionless faces, my heart skipped a beat, but I still forced a smile and tried to come up with a solution.
However, before I could say anything, the head of the other party had thrown a document on the table.
I felt cold all over when I saw it clearly indicated in the file that the compensation was 200 million Yuan. But I had to put on a smile and negotiate with them. “Mr. Wang, can we solve the problem in another way? How about we produce another batch of mainboards for you after we make things clear?”
With a sneer, Mr. Wang began to degrade our company and me, showing no mercy.
Being anxious and angry, I still managed to discuss with him in the calmest way possible.
Finally, maybe it was because my persistence annoyed him or because he was out of patience to talk to me, Mr. Wang slammed the table and stood up. “I don’t see the point in further discussion. My attorney will finalize further details on my behalf!”
With that, he strode out of the meeting room.
I was stunned. Gazing at his receding figure, I was still in a daze, with my head buzzing.
How did this happen?
“Is there anything else you wanna discuss with us, Miss Lin?” A lawyer reminded after waiting for a while without my reply.
I turned around and found myself even more depressed at the sight of their poker faces.
“Are there really no other solutions?” I asked after quite a while, managing to sound calm. I was still struggling with the hope that we could settle this matter in another way.
My hands, hidden under the table on my laps, clutched together with sweaty palms.
200 million Yuan? What a huge sum!
Just like Mr. Wang, those lawyers also hinted a mocking expression on their faces spontaneously at my words that could be seen clearly, though it was not noticeable.
In the end, we failed to reach an agreement.
Our company was going to suffer from a loss of 200 million Yuan!
Moreover, I was the legal person of the company.
After Mr. Wang’s legal team left, I went back to my office decadently. Sitting on the chair, I felt myself slipping into meltdown mode.
I called my husband and told him what had happened in a dull voice. Since he was in a meeting and had no time to deal with it, we ended the conversation soon.
After a few seconds, my husband’s short message came. He asked me to hold on and promised me that he would work a way out.
Before I could tell him in despair that I had tried every means but none of them worked, I received another message.
“Surprise! Go to the locker of the Na’er Mall, and remember to go without underwear.”
