The male supporting character was actually myself.

The two sides signed the first part of a cooperation agreement worth five billion US dollars with almost no negotiation!

10:35 a.m.

Jiang Chen's car drove into the courtyard of the Su family villa right on time.

"Young Master Chu, please. Our CEO, Ms. Su, is waiting for you inside." The attendant led him in with an elegant and capable demeanor.

The continuous stream of visitors energized the people who were waiting there, making them shout with excitement.

"Let me, the guy with the gold chain, have a chat with you guys!"

Just now, Chu Jiangchen also entered this villa.

At 9:45, those of you watching the live stream saw the young woman following the foreigner, right?

Her name is Du Xinyu, and she's incredibly powerful!

I've investigated the gold chain guy before. He was originally from a poor mountain village. He was so poor that he couldn't even afford pants!

Chu Jiangchen met her while doing a live stream on foot. Feeling sorry for this girl, he took her back to Jincheng.

She's been pampered for over four years, and now she looks all dressed up like a proper adult.

Du Xinyu made enough money off him, then dumped him!

That guy said, "How could you bear to dump such a kind, rich, and handsome guy?"

That's something you have to be willing to do!

Because she's hooked up with Su Li!

Su Li is the illegitimate son of Su Minghe, the head of the Su Group. He'll be much richer than Chu Jiangchen when he gets the Su Group in the future.

Sei knew that Du Xinyu and Su Li were truly from the same doghouse, utterly shameless.

While the banquet was being held at the Su family manor, the two of them rolled around wildly on the grass, and in their excitement, one of them fell into the lake, making a scene that everyone knew about.

Later, probably because he felt ashamed and couldn't bear to abandon his illegitimate child, he beat Du Xinyu up and threw her out!

Now she's hooked up with a foreigner and brought her current boyfriend to find her ex-boyfriend. Guys, who knows what kind of drama is unfolding in this villa? Too bad we can't tell yet.

I bet they'll end up fighting!

But it'll be soon, my ex-boyfriend is coming, and that guy's got a huge green hat on his head, he's so pitiful and pathetic..."

When Jiang Chen entered the reception room, Su Ziqing and Mike were happily catching up after signing the contract.

"Mike, let me introduce you. This is Chu Jiangchen, the young master of Wanli Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. He is the general manager of Yujincheng, the hottest project in Jincheng right now!"

As the host, Su Ziqing was in a good mood after securing a big order without much effort. She introduced them to each other in a lighthearted tone, "This is Mike, my senior from when I was studying at the European Elite Academy, and also the third young master of the famous Davis family."

Mike had clearly heard of Chu Jiangchen's name before. He stepped forward, shook Chu's hand, and said in fluent Chinese with delight, "I've seen your design for Yujincheng. It's beautiful, grand, and practical!"

You are a very talented person, and it's a pleasure to meet you. If given the opportunity, I would love to collaborate with you on designing a manor!

"Mr. Mike, it's an honor to meet you!" Jiang Chen smiled and shook his tightly clasped hands. "You two are too kind. I don't deserve such praise."

"Once my Yujincheng project is completed, Mr. Mike, please take a look at the actual site. If you like it, we can discuss cooperation."

After the three of them exchanged pleasantries, Jiang Chen finally revealed his purpose: "I've come today to ask Su Li to terminate her contract."

Although it was because of him that the groundbreaking ceremony and construction plan for Yujincheng were delayed, we are not outsiders after all.

Legal means are merely a way to protect one's rights; if a private settlement is possible, it's better to avoid making things unpleasant.

Especially the triple compensation, to be honest, if Uncle Su really had to come up with that money, wouldn't it still be a loss for you no matter how you calculate it?

"Sister Ziqing, could you please let me have a proper talk with Su Li?"

Hearing that he was thinking of her, Su Ziqing felt a sweet warmth welling up in her heart.

If Chu Jiangchen hadn't gotten inside information and informed him in advance that Du Xinyu was hooking up with a rich second-generation to give Su Li benefits, he wouldn't have been able to rush back in time to intercept her.

So all the credit for this big order goes to him!

Moreover, his willingness to reconcile with Su Li was simply because he didn't want to strain his relationship with his father and be embarrassed to bring up marriage in the future.

Chu Jiangchen has sacrificed so much for me!

“Dad locked Su Li up, so I can’t just let him out.” Su Ziqing said tenderly, “I’ll call Dad and let him know. Please wait a moment.”

Su Minghe, who had just finished a meeting at the group headquarters, was leaning back on the sofa looking exhausted, feeling frustrated as he looked at the documents in front of him.

The Zhongli Company's actions have had a huge negative impact!

Clients who could have been negotiating cooperation are now choosing to wait and see.

After all, anyone with a little common sense knows the situation of the two factions within the Su Group. Since it was the illegitimate son who messed up the breach of contract, there's no reason for the daughter to pay compensation.

If Wanli insists on pressing the issue, and Su Li is penniless, Su Minghe will inevitably be the one to foot the bill in the end!

The compensation of at least nine billion yuan would be enough to severely damage his finances and even cause problems with the cash flow of many projects.

On the surface, Su Ziqing appears calm and collected, but she has absolutely no good feelings towards that illegitimate child. If Su Minghe's finances run into trouble, there is a very high possibility that she will sit idly by and wait to take over and seize power!

At this critical juncture, who dares to take the gamble?

Moreover, they are a group of seasoned veterans in the business world, each one shrewd and calculating. Let's push them along first and see how things go.

"Ring ring..."

The phone on his desk rang, and Su Ming picked it up listlessly and put it to his ear.

After hearing just two sentences, his eyes lit up and his voice involuntarily rose a few decibels, "Really? Chu Jiangchen came to Su Li with the contract to settle things privately?"

that is really good!

Qingqing, I always said Xiaochen is a good kid, just like you, he understands the bigger picture and considers the overall situation.

He handled this matter very well. He filed a lawsuit to show his stance, and he also tried to discuss things amicably in private, so the relationship between the two families didn't get strained.

Of course it can make him...

No, no, no, let Xiao Chen wait a moment, I'll go back right away!

I have to be there in person. Who knows what kind of trouble that ungrateful Su Li might cause again!

Oh? There's more good news?

"Alright, alright, my dear daughter, I'll keep you in suspense for now. Give Daddy a surprise when we get back!"

After hanging up the phone, Su Ming's old face beamed with joy.

That kid from the Chu family really knows how to handle things!

They wouldn't give up until they were in the right, and they wouldn't let go of the compensation. At least I don't have to worry about spending so much money!

As he put on his coat, he planned in his mind to get the two children to get married once this matter was settled.

If, during the engagement, one can casually announce that the breach of contract has been settled without compensation, their business can naturally continue smoothly.

Moreover, the completion of the Yujincheng project will mark the beginning of the Chu family's rise to prominence.

With the children of the two families marrying, the Su and Chu families have joined forces, and the future looks promising!

Thinking this to himself, Su Minghe hummed a little tune contentedly as he prepared to go out.

“Sir!” The old butler came face to face with him and said in a low voice with a serious expression, “I have just received some news.”

Chapter Thirty-Two: Killing someone is like destroying their spirit.

Sujia Qianlong Lake Villa.

Jiang Chen and Mike were chatting happily in the living room; Su Ziqing did not return immediately after finishing her phone call.

She remembered Chu Jiangchen's instructions: "If you can't kill someone, now is the time to destroy their spirit."

Therefore, Su Ziqing went straight to the third floor.

"Open the door, I want to say a few words to Su Li." She gestured to the two security guards standing at the door.

Su Minghe gave orders that Su Li was not allowed to leave the room without his permission, but he never said that others were not allowed to enter.

Therefore, the security personnel took out their keys, opened the door, and reminded, "We'll stand guard outside. If there's any unusual activity inside, we'll rush in immediately!"

Su Ziqing nodded approvingly, went into the room, and casually closed the door behind her.

"Finally, you've come to invite me..." Su Li, dressed in a brand-new suit and adjusting her clothes in front of the mirror, turned around happily upon hearing the voice, but her face immediately fell upon seeing who it was. "What are you doing here?"

The curtains were drawn, and the room was dimly lit.

"What? You can't stand being seen?" Su Ziqing ignored him and walked directly to the windowsill, pulling open the curtains with a "rip".

The bright sunlight instantly illuminated the messy room, and Su Li subconsciously squinted to adjust to the strong light.

The media waiting outside suddenly spotted Su Li and immediately went wild!

All sorts of cameras and microphones were pointed at the third-floor bedroom window and started snapping away.

Su Ziqing turned around with satisfaction, and seeing the injury on his face, she immediately said in a mocking tone, "Oh, you got beaten up like this?"

No wonder he's hiding and afraid to see anyone.

"Get out! Stop being so sarcastic!" Su Li roared.

Seeing him like a trapped beast, only able to vent his emotions through roaring, Su Ziqing couldn't help but laugh out loud, "Look, he's biting the hand that feeds him, not recognizing a kind heart!"

I've come to give you some good news!

Chu Jiangchen, out of consideration for me, plans to terminate the contract with you privately.

Look at his magnanimity and composure as a man, and then look at yourself!

As she spoke, she glanced down and said jokingly, "You're not just a show-off, are you?"

No wonder he's so petty and narrow-minded; he's not like a man at all.

Ugh……

My dad would be very disappointed if he knew.

He's been looking for beautiful concubines for you, thinking that as a stud, you can give him a few more grandchildren, so you'll at least be of some use and not waste his resources.

If I can't give birth... my dad will definitely make things difficult for me.

Su Li wanted to get angry, but he was also anxious to hear the news of Chu Jiangchen's contract termination. He felt that if this crisis passed, he might still have a chance to turn things around!
