Chapter 319 - New Deal
For Li Jing, everything was going on smoothly. It felt nice having the upper hand against your enemy and she was more than glad to do that.
They had been thorns in her flesh ever since but now, having them in her hands felt a lot better and calmer.
"Yes, now time to call Kim Fan."
"Alright baby girl. No matter what, if he talks stupidly, I would deal with him and that friend of his."
"Relax, Yin Lifen. I got this."
Yin Lifen gave her thumbs up and waited for her call to start. She was just waiting to see how everything would go and unfold.
"Hello, Kim Fan."
"Hey, Li Jing. How are you?"
"I am surprised that you can still ask me that after what your company did to me."
"What do you mean by that?" Kim Fan asked, sounding surprised by the new bit of information he just heard her say.
"You heard me well. You of all people knew how much I worked just so we could finalize al we need for the project and all you could do was to sit back and watch as your company filed a lawsuit against me. Wowe, just wow!"
"Wait, they did what?"
"Do not act like you are not aware of this, there is no how you would tell me you know nothing about this issue."
"Honestly, Li Jing, believe me when I do say I did not know that we filed a lawsuit against you. What for?"
"Theft of course. For stealing the project ideas and selling it out to people."
"Bloody hell! See." He took in a deep breath and then tried to calm down his mind. "Li Jing, first of all I am so sorry for that. Believe me you, I knew nothing about this lawsuit but I would not say I did not have an idea."
"You see."
"Calm down, please let me explain. I overhead my father and some of the other shareholders talking about the project then I heard them saying that the Ying group had something of similar structure, presented as a future goal. Luckily we got wind of it and the only two people involved in this project was you and I."
"What are you insinuating, Kim Fan?"
"No. nothing, trust me."
"Give me a reason to," Li Jing fired back instantly.
"I will. I only know that they said they were going to find out how the other company got the idea for the work through their insider and all and that they would file a lawsuit to the affected party."
"And they deemed me worthy of such indiscriminate act. Do I look stupid to you people?"
"Li Jing, please calm down," Kim Fan pleaded with her. He was not ready to become enemies with her. She deserves so much and he wanted to prove that he was worthy of being with her.
"No I am calm. I am just offended that’s all."
"Please do not be. I promise, I know you are not the one and I would do everything in my power to find the real culprit behind this issue and make sure they sleep in jail for years that they would wish for freedom and would not find it."
Hearing his promises, Li Jing scoffed at him and rolled her eyes before resting her elbows on the table and continuing her call.
"Is that so?"
"Yes. Just give me two days and I would get to the root of the matter and vindicate you."
"Two days, huh?"
"Yes, Li Jing. Please let me redeem myself and company."
"I am sorry Kim Fan but there would be no need for that. I spent today looking for proof and I have seen the culprit. I was framed but God being so kind and all, we fixed it and now, all that is remaining is for them to visit your office and apologize. Then you can withdraw the lawsuit but that is not all."
"Li Jing," Kim Fan whispered softly into the phone.
"Nothing is going to help. First of all, your company filed a law suit without concrete evidence against me. I can make them pay in more ways than one, hope you are aware."
"Yes and that is why I am pleading on their behalf. I would withdraw the lawsuit instantly. You do not need to worry about this now."
"No, Kim Fan. The Kim group would pay for what they did. You do not threat business partners that way. If the issue had been brought up to Lin Enterprise concerning the theft, both companies would put head together and find the culprit, yet nothing of this sort was done."
"Li Jing please. Okay, I would give you some benefits."
Her lips curved up into a smile. She liked where that was going. This time around he was the one offering. "What are your conditions?"
"Okay, if you do not take offense as to what we have done, umm we would compensate you with fifty thousand dollars."
"If you said a hundred I would understand. Sigh, I cannot accept that. Let me teach you how to do it? I think I have a better deal."
"Alright, what is your deal then?"
"Simple, rather than a fifty – fifty business deal for the hotel project, I want a seventy- thirty."
"Li Jing!"
"You offended me. Your company made a wrong move. We are partners for crying out loud, how could they think I would sell of the deal."
"I can’t still accept the deal, Li Jing. Please reconsider. How about a hundred and fifty thousand dollars?"
"No."
"Okay two hundred and fifty thousand dollars as compensation for our mistake."
"No, sixty – forty business deal."
"Li Jing, please."
"Take it or leave it. Relay my message to your father and the stakeholders. Next time, they should be careful as to how they act as a company. Goodbye, Kim Fan. Call me when you are agreeing to my terms."
