Chapter 249 Truly Shameless
Merlin immediately came forward. She’s lost enough face today and would not let her father lose face too. Moreover, this was just a young girl. What did she know about business? She quickly interrupted,
“Don’t go overboard. The company belongs to my father, and he is the ultimate decision maker. Your request cannot be about the company.” Su Jin looked at Merlin. This woman was truly shameless that she could say something like that. How could a prominent family not keep their word? They could just say anything and then back out? Su Jin said indifferently,
“Is that so? Aren’t you the one responsible for this matter?”
Merlin’s expression turned uglier when she heard this. Since the situation was already so bad, she no longer cared if she caused more embarrassment. She just had to suppress this young girl’s imposing manner and shouted angrily,
“It doesn’t matter who is responsible. If I don’t agree to your request, I don’t agree. Don’t…”
Max heard the mutterings from the crowd, saying that Merlin was simply embarrassing the Max family and that she was a sore loser. The Max family was not trustworthy. Max was angry and interjected coldly,
“Merlin, it’s time to cut the cake.”
When Randall saw the tension, he walked over and quickly came before Su Jin. This matter had to be settled quickly. He said calmly with a smile,
“I’m sorry, Chairman and Madam Xi. My sister is still young and a little ignorant. Don’t mind her. I’ll agreed to this request on her behalf.”
Xi Chenxiao hugged Su Jin’s around the waist and looked at Randall confrontationally. He couldn’t believe the audacity of this guy. He dared to defend Merlin by saying that she’s still young? He looked at Merlin coldly and said,
“Still young? Then, my wife seems to be younger than her, but in terms of talent and bearing, she’s better than your sister.”
Xi Chenxiao then looked at Su Jin admiringly. After all, she did nothing wrong tonight. Everything was Merlin’s provocation, and now she’s trying to cheat.
Randall couldn’t help but size up Su Jin when he heard this. Her beautiful face made him clenched his fists with complicated emotions. This girl was indeed perfect, like an angel.
Merlin was very embarrassed. After all, there were so many people here and they were all attacking the Max family reputation. No one should say that the Max family did not keep their word. She gritted her teeth and said,
“Okay, I agree. What’s the second request?”
Su Jin thought for a moment. She looked at Xi Chenxiao and then at Mr. Max. She decided in her heart despite possible regret in the future and replied,
“The second request is for Mr. Max to give Xi Corporation two percent of the profit in this collaboration.”
She has heard from the staff when on the flight that the Max family was very shrewd. They knew that Xi Corporation wanted to expand to the American market and kept their price very low. If they executed what’s on the contract, Xi Corporation would only break even. They would be making money for the Max family for free.
If Max gave up one percent of the profit, Xi Corporation would earn something. Although it was not much, it was better than nothing. Therefore, Su Jin hoped that Max would give two percent of the profit so Xi Corporation would earn something.
When Xi Chenxiao heard Su Jin’s request, he looked at her in confusion. A warm feeling rose in his heart. This girl made the second request about him too. She was indeed his sensible wife.
Merlin couldn’t believe what Su Jin had said. Did this girl know what this meant? How could she agree to it? It was already good that they continued with the collaboration and now she’s asking for profit sharing? She shouted,
“What did you say? Two percent? Do you know how much that is? Why don’t you just rob a bank?”
Su Jin looked at Merlin, who was about to explode with anger, with a smile on her face. It was only two percent, did she need to overreact? She had wanted to ask for fifty-fifty but she thought that the Maxes would not be able to take it. Su Jin replied plainly,
“Oh? Is Miss Merlin trying to show me again what it means to be young and small-minded?”
Merlin was immediately angered by Su Jin’s words. This damn girl kept embarrassing her and now she said this. It was simply too much! Her mind was suddenly filled with fear as she said angrily,
“Fine, I agree to your request. I’ll make you pay if you say call me petty again.”
“And do you know how much Xi Corporation will make from this two percent?”
