Chapter 303 Could it be... he likes her?
Jinxi was startled and instinctively tried to stand up, but Zhou Linxu seemed to know what she was going to do. He gently pressed his large hand on her shoulder and made her sit down again.
He said gently, "Xiao Xi, if there's anything you'd like to add, just tell me."
Jinxi looked up at him and asked, "Is this the Zhou Group's profit-sharing agreement?"
"Yes," Zhou Linxu said. "After discussing it with my lawyer, this contract is more suitable for you."
Jinxi looked at Zhou Linxu, then looked down at herself from left to right.
Zhou Linxu asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
Jin Xi asked mysteriously, "Did you plant some kind of listening device on me?"
She had just told her mother that she owned shares in the Zhou Group when Zhou Linxu immediately sent her a profit-sharing contract.
Zhou Linxu chuckled softly: "Why do you say that?"
After acquiring Zhou Jiansheng's shares, he kept thinking about the contract he signed with Jinxi. He had more control over the contract; he could stop it whenever he wanted, while Xiaoxi was completely passive.
The equity distribution of the Zhou Group was too complicated. Zhou Linxu and his lawyer carefully considered the matter before deciding that the dividend rights were the most suitable for Xiaoxi.
As long as the Zhou Group continues to make money, Xiao Xi will have money coming in, and she won't have to worry about the company's troubles.
This contract is much longer than the previous one, but after reading it all, Jinxi sums it up in one sentence: The God of Wealth has come to my door.
She silently raised her hand.
Zhou Linxu leaned against the desk, watching her movements. Perhaps he was charmed by her cuteness, a smile appeared in his eyes: "Xiao Xi, please speak."
Jin Xi sincerely asked, "The dividends are distributed quarterly. May I ask how much I'll receive approximately?"
"That depends on the company's profits. Given the current situation of the Zhou Group, it will be at least five million," Zhou Linxu said. "It will only be more, not less."
Jinxi looked down again and saw that the contract not only included profit sharing, but also the original clause of 200 million per month.
That's equivalent to her earning a salary of six million and a minimum of five million in bonuses over three months.
Jinxi's hand holding the contract was trembling slightly. She raised her hand and pinched her arm, which made her howl in pain.
Zhou Linxu asked, puzzled, "Why are you pinching yourself?"
As he spoke, he reached out to rub her twisted arm, where the skin was already red and she looked pitiful.
Jin Xi grinned and replied, "I just wanted to see if I was dreaming, otherwise how could I suddenly see the God of Wealth?"
Zhou Linxu was genuinely amused by her, and while rubbing her arm, he laughed: "What God of Wealth? This is what you deserve."
Jinxi's arm no longer hurts, and her wandering mind has returned.
Her gaze fell on her arm. Zhou Linxu held her wrist with one hand and the other hand on the spot where she had been pinched, gently rubbing it with his palm.
Zhou Linxu's movements were so natural that she hadn't even noticed anything amiss.
Last time he drank too much, but he could explain it away by being drunk. Now they are both very sober.
Moreover, the new contract made no mention of divorce at all.
Jinxi pulled her arm back slightly: "Okay, okay, it doesn't hurt anymore."
Zhou Linxu then released her arm and casually pulled a pen from the pen holder: "If there's no problem, just sign it. I'll have the lawyer take it to be notarized tomorrow."
Jinxi looked at the pen, took it, but then put it down.
She said, "Mr. Zhou, this contract seems to be more favorable to me."
Before Zhou Linxu could say anything, Jin Xi continued, "How about we add a restriction?"
Zhou Linxu tilted his head slightly: "What?"
"This contract will be void after the divorce," Jinxi said. "Otherwise, you'll be at a huge loss."
Zhou Linxu tightened his grip on the table, staring at Jin Xi for a few seconds, a flicker of emotion passing through his eyes.
He took a deep breath and straightened up a bit: "No need to add anything. Even if we get divorced in the future, this will be considered your compensation."
Jinxi looked at the contract again: "Then we need to add a clause: I will not want any of your other assets after the divorce."
"...No need." Zhou Linxu's tone deepened. "I believe you're not that kind of person."
Jin Xi then added, "By the way, the divorce date in the previous contract..."
"Xiao Xi," Zhou Linxu interrupted her, "If you want a divorce, you can bring it up anytime."
Jinxi blinked slowly, and Zhou Linxu said, "I will respect your decision. If you want to leave, I will prepare another sum of money for you as compensation."
Jinxi's fingers tightened slightly as she gripped the contract.
Zhou Linxu's gaze remained fixed on her, and his tone was different from before as he said, "The contract was signed in a hurry back then, and now that you've found your parents, if you want a divorce, I'm willing to cooperate with you."
He picked up the pen again and gave Jinxi a gentle smile: "This contract will not be an obstacle to your desire for a divorce. I just want to give you some protection."
Jinxi looked at the pen held loosely by the well-defined fingers, pursed her lips, and still took the pen and signed her name.
She said, "President Zhou, you must work hard and give me more bonuses."
Zhou Linxu looked down at the signed contract and nodded: "Don't worry, I definitely won't let you suffer any losses."
Jinxi pursed her lips and put the pen back in the pen holder.
She said, "Then I'll... go upstairs first."
Zhou Linxu agreed, "I'll give you your copy of the contract after it's notarized."
"Okay," Jinxi readily agreed. "Good night."
Zhou Linxu also said, "Good night, Xiao Xi."
Jin Xi glanced at Zhou Linxu quickly, but then looked away again. Calmly, she left the study, and only when she got into the elevator did she finally let out a sigh of relief.
She returned to her bedroom somewhat dazed, and even after lying on the bed, she was still a little confused.
She hadn't had time to think things through in the study, and now that she was all alone, questions kept flying out of the window, impossible to catch.
What did Zhou Linxu mean just now?
What do you mean she can get a divorce whenever she wants? What if she doesn't want a divorce?
Is Zhou Linxu thinking too highly of her? Isn't he afraid that she'll become too demanding and refuse to leave him?
Jinxi rolled around on the bed twice.
The room was quiet, but for some reason, her heart was pounding.
She placed her hand on her heart, thinking to herself, Zhou Linxu wouldn't do anything useless.
He must have had his reasons for doing this today; she just hasn't guessed them yet.
Jinxi recalled the way he looked at her, and her heart pounded even harder.
Suddenly, she sat up abruptly in bed, a super crazy idea popping into her head.
Could it be that Rin-seo likes her this week?!
