Chapter 321 How to kill someone while also destroying their spirit? (Seeking monthly votes!!!)
"So, Brother Yue, are we really just going to swallow our anger like this?"

What's the point of earning so much humiliation money!

"I'm not letting him work for me anymore; it's just a few million in breach of contract fees."

"As for the favors I owe them, I can just work at their design institute for a few months to make them pay for it."

Lin Ning's face was full of disdain and arrogance.

Zhou Yue didn't know what to say, after all, that's how he made his money.

“Alright then, I’ll pay the several million in breach of contract fees for you, that’s fine.” Zhou Yue thought for a moment, “But you’re right, we really can’t deal with clients like them.”

"But don't blame them. They might just not like this kind of abstract architecture, that's all. After all, this is our style. And most of the bidding was done by Jinghua University. We suddenly won the project and designed something that doesn't fit their aesthetic. They should feel that way too."

"There is no need to be overly critical."

Zhou Yue felt that neither side was wrong; the client was like this, and so was Lin Ning.

"That's millions!" Lin Ning looked at him. "Brother Yue just spent it all like that?"

“Yeah, what else? Should I force you to do something you don’t like?” Zhou Yue said with a smile. “Actually, money is just a number to me. I can make it back by doing one project.”

"And you've helped me so much, I don't think a few million is expensive at all."

"The projects you've done are worth just as much money."

Lin Ning sighed softly, "I'm a little touched, Brother Yue."

"It's a small matter, but I'll give it to them. I don't know if they'll accept it. We'll see."

Zhou Yue sent the message directly to the Design Institute of Jinghua University.

The professor in charge remained silent for a moment.

"You just don't like the designs from Professor Zhou's side?"

Which company is this?

"Dingcheng?"

"Alright, alright, then we won't cooperate with him anymore, that's settled then."

Zhou Yue didn't waste any words and transferred three million directly.

The money from Jinghua University was transferred directly to Dingcheng's account.

This project is actually very large, about 80 million yuan, which is equivalent to some high-rise buildings in the province.

The investment in this project is considerable, so it's understandable that they're being cautious.

The Architectural Research Institute of Peking University quickly issued a notice.

They said they would cut off all design-related cooperation with their company.

Even the reasons were clearly explained.

In other words, the design submitted by Ningxia University to Jinghua University did not meet their requirements.

But anyone with eyes can see that.

Jinghua University is genuinely angry.

in an office.

A middle-aged man was throwing a tantrum, yelling, "Tell me how your department has been doing things!"

"What exactly is wrong with the design by the Design Institute of Jinghua University? Should we ask them to revise it?"

"And I heard that they commissioned Ningxia University? Is it Professor Zhou's work?"

"This is our problem," the young man opposite us readily took the blame, but then pursed his lips slightly and said, "But this project's design does indeed not quite meet our original requirements." "What were your requirements?! Change it! It absolutely must be changed!"

"If they refuse to design for us and refuse to cooperate with us, then who else in the whole country can we turn to for design?"

“Even overseas, this announcement might cut off any possibility of designing it. They're trying to force us to our doom!”

"What exactly did you tell people?"

"How can someone get so angry?"

"say!"

"We simply said that this abstract design did not meet our requirements..."

"Fine, fine, so you're going to dismiss Teacher Zhou's work like this?"

"Actually, this piece was made by Teacher Zhou's student, so it shouldn't have much to do with Teacher Zhou, right?" the young man argued.

"Your department should pack up and get out. Aren't Zhou's students practically Zhou himself? You know how much influence Zhou has in the construction industry. This breach of contract penalty is three million. Do you know how many three million we'll lose after we take this three million?"

"..."

The design institute quickly deleted the notice.

Zhou Yue was satisfied with the five million yuan design fee.

"So it's still profitable, but after all, it's the construction industry. It's easier to resolve a conflict than to create one, so it's always good to have a backup plan."

"Otherwise, there might really be no reasoning left," Zhou Yue sighed.

"Brother Yue, I thought you were really going to stand up for me."

Zhou Yue just smiled and said, "Didn't they stand up for you? They laid off an entire department, which already shows their attitude. Since they've bowed their heads, there's no need for us to criticize them too much."

"Or are you trying to kill me by destroying my spirit?"

"Didn't they return the three million? In fact, they even made a few million more. Nobody is going against money, no matter how much money they have."

"Do you think it's better to have one more enemy, or several million more?"

Lin Ning simply snorted softly, "I think a person should still have some backbone."

"There's no other way. We've been poor for so long, so making more money is very important. As for things like integrity, that can wait."

Zhou Yue felt that he had done nothing wrong in this matter.

However, he did not expect that the Design Institute of Jinghua University would support him so strongly and directly sever cooperation with the opposing party. This was something he did not expect. He originally just wanted to use his influence to put pressure on them.

But the other side really didn't do anything wrong!

Therefore, a redesign was necessary. Zhou Yue naturally wouldn't give anyone cause for criticism, so he even designed a framework himself, without any abstract elements.

After a day's work, the rest was handed over to the design institute.

The professor in charge didn't say much.

Teacher Zhou is just so capricious.

A multi-million dollar project was started just like that, and it was done so well.

In short, at their level, it's basically the clients who come to them for help. There are indeed many possibilities for them to cooperate with clients, but since these tasks have been outsourced, they can't let Teacher Zhou suffer a loss.

A few million in breach of contract fees is nothing to them at their level.

The most important thing is attitude.
