My Multiple Identities Revealed After Marrying the Bigshot-Chapter 522: Blacklist
Chapter 522: Chapter 522: Blacklist
Boss Qiu was at a loss for words, his face turning shades of green and white.
He definitely needed to consult a lawyer; he couldn’t just be fooled by others.
But hearing the other party speak so confidently, he couldn’t help but feel apprehensive.
"Mr. Qiu, please consider this," Lawyer Sheng said.
After all, they weren’t in a hurry.
If Boss Qiu decided to go through legal procedures, he could earn another sum for Lu Youxi.
However, to avoid wasting everyone’s time, Lu Youxi needed to quickly find another construction team to continue the work.
Thus, Lawyer Sheng preferred a direct termination of the contract after seven days.
After saying this, Lawyer Sheng stood up, taking his students and security personnel with him and left.
Boss Qiu had been baffled by Lawyer Sheng to the point that he didn’t even react in time to stop them.
Moreover, he couldn’t think of any reason to stop them.
After Lawyer Sheng and his group left and were out of sight, Boss Qiu’s three henchmen immediately surrounded him.
"Brother Qiu, what’s the situation now?" the bald man urgently asked, "Lu Youxi wants to terminate our contract, do we have no project to work on now?"
The short man hastily said, "Brother Qiu, say something! How are we going to resolve this? Are we really going to let her terminate the contract?"
The slim and astute man wasn’t sure, saying, "The cooperation with Jiangchen Construction should be fine after that, right?"
"How exactly did Lin’s promise you? That after Lu Youxi pays more money and the progress of Youshu Real Estate is successfully delayed, Jiangchen Construction will cooperate with us? Now that Lu Youxi has directly terminated the contract with us, can we still collaborate with Jiangchen Construction?"
"It... It should be okay, right?" the bald man said uncertainly, "Although the contract is terminated, we did indeed successfully delay Youshu Real Estate’s progress. We did fulfill that part."
Upon reflection, Boss Qiu thought this was true and decided to use this as a bargaining chip to negotiate with Lin’s.
After proposing the termination, Lu Youxi paid no more attention to Boss Qiu, only instructing someone to keep an eye on the construction site.
She was worried that Boss Qiu, out of spite, might sabotage the worksite.
At the same time, Lu Youxi also had people contact other construction teams.
Initially, when she decided to collaborate with Boss Qiu’s construction team, it was because his team had a decent reputation upon investigation.
Unexpectedly, even after such research, they were still taken advantage of.
So this time, they had to be even more meticulous in selection.
When the 7-day deadline arrived, the termination notice was duly delivered into Boss Qiu’s hands.
Boss Qiu hadn’t expected Lu Youxi to actually go through with it.
On one hand, he was too embarrassed to seek out Lu Youxi, and on the other, he reached out to Lin’s.
It was Lin Zhenghao’s assistant who initially contacted Boss Qiu, eventually leading to Lin Zhenghao negotiating with him personally.
Boss Qiu didn’t have Lin Zhenghao’s contact and still reached out to his assistant.
But who could have thought that this time, Boss Qiu’s call wouldn’t even go through?
Lin Zhenghao’s assistant had given him a mobile number.
But after learning that Boss Qiu had been terminated by Lu Youxi, his assistant informed Lin Zhenghao, who then said there was no need to pay any further attention to Boss Qiu.
Boss Qiu was no longer of use to them.
Moreover, as for their Lin’s projects, how could they possibly be entrusted to a small construction team like Boss Qiu’s?
His team was simply not up to the task.
As for the suggestion of having Boss Qiu’s team collaborate with Jiangchen Construction.
Lin Zhenghao did not have the authority to make that decision.
It was just a ploy to deceive Boss Qiu with empty promises.
Although Lin Jingshen had familial ties with Jiangchen Construction, Lin Zhenghao couldn’t speak for them.
Jiangchen Construction would definitely prioritize its own interests.
Furthermore, ever since the Lin Family had been blacklisted by Zhou Shuyan, the Jiang Family’s relationship with the Lin Family wasn’t as warm as before.
Although the Jiang Family hadn’t proposed to cancel the engagement, Lin Zhenghao was no fool.
He had noticed that the Jiang Family was just biding its time.
After all, Lin Jingshen and Jiang Zilin were still in school, far from graduation, and the future was uncertain. There was no need to cancel the engagement so prematurely.
If in the future, when the marriage discussions were to seriously begin, the Lin Family had not improved, or perhaps had become even worse under Zhou Shuyan’s prolonged blacklisting,
The Jiang Family would undoubtedly and unhesitatingly sever the engagement with the Lin Family.
The Jiang Family’s attitude also made it impossible for Lin Zhenghao to actually arrange for Boss Qiu’s construction team to collaborate with Jiangchen Construction.
One issue was that Boss Qiu’s team was too small, and their level of competence couldn’t be guaranteed.
If something went wrong with the part that Boss Qiu’s team was responsible for, it would ultimately reflect poorly on Jiangchen Construction, who would, therefore, never agree.
They wouldn’t accommodate Lin Zhenghao for the benefit of Lin’s.
So, to avoid being hassled by Boss Qiu, Lin Zhenghao directed his assistant to block Boss Qiu’s number, ignoring his calls.
When Boss Qiu realized that he couldn’t get through to Lin Zhenghao’s number, he knew he had been duped.
Now that he had lost the project with Lu Youxi, and it was clear that Lin Zhenghao had no intention of providing him with work, let alone cooperating with Jiangchen Construction.
Boss Qiu was so angry he almost smashed his cell phone.
But then, an idea struck him. Lin Zhenghao’s assistant had only blocked his cell phone number, they couldn’t possibly block every number.
If his cell phone couldn’t get through, he would try the landline; if the landline was blocked, he would go to a public phone booth or a newsstand to make the call.
And so, Boss Qiu switched to the landline at the construction site.
This time, he got through.
When Lin Zhenghao’s assistant asked who it was, Boss Qiu did not mince his words, "I’m Qiu Mingzhi!"
Lin Zhenghao’s assistant paused for a moment. Qiu Mingzhi? Who was that?
Hearing the silence on the other end, Boss Qiu couldn’t tell whether the assistant was silent out of guilt or because they couldn’t remember him.
Boss Qiu snorted derisively and said, "You haven’t forgotten who I am, have you?"
Lin Zhenghao’s assistant: "..."
At last, they remembered.
"Boss Qiu," Lin Zhenghao’s assistant called out.
With noticeable irritation, Boss Qiu said, "I called you on my cell phone, and couldn’t get through; did you block me?"
"Is that so? I don’t think so," the assistant feigned ignorance.
Boss Qiu chuckled coldly, "Do you want me to come over to Lin’s right now and show you by calling in front of you?"
The assistant thought, by the time you get here, I would’ve already removed your number from the blacklist.
"What can I do for you, Boss Qiu?" the assistant didn’t dwell on this issue.
Of course, he knew why Boss Qiu was calling.
Sure enough, Boss Qiu said, "I followed your instructions and delayed Lu Youxi’s construction schedule by several days. Now, she has directly terminated our contract. I’m calling to confirm whether the cooperation with Jiangchen Construction that President Lin previously promised is still something he stands by."ƒreewebηoveℓ.com
