Having heard Ye Yuning's statement, Chen Wei became somewhat conflicted.
"When Assistant Lai arrives later, what do you plan to do? Cooperate directly?"
"If the penalty for breach is lowered, then naturally, we can only cooperate."
"If we don't budge, wouldn't that confirm we're toying with the newly appointed Seventh Master Xiao?"
Such blatantly disrespectful acts should be avoided whenever possible.
However, in Ye Yuning's view, considering Seventh Master Xiao's methods since his return from abroad, he likely wouldn't agree to her demands. Perhaps this was his last chance for her; if she kept insisting on the penalty for breach without yielding, he might very well tell her: "Never cooperate with the Xiao Corporation again!" If that happened, it would be exactly what Ye Yuning wanted. After all, her relationship with the Xiao Corporation was indeed rather complicated; cooperation was quite frustrating.
Chen Wei gasped, then shook her head. "I think it'll be difficult!"
