Chapter 375 - 375 Unreasonable Cooperation
While listening to his parents talking, Liam was deep in thought. Why did Nadia suddenly want to work with his family? There would be no profit from this cooperation. And Liam knew that Nadia wasn’t that stupid.
Before Liam could answer, his father had already said, “Liam, are you listening? The Soetanto family has a very large jewelry company. If we want to expand our business in that field, we must cooperate with them. We must take advantage of this partnership to develop our company.”
“I see,” Liam replied in a deep voice before hanging up the phone.
Liam went back to reading the document on the table. His hunch was that there was something wrong with the cooperation that was being offered before his eyes. But he did not find any loopholes in the contract.
It’s so perfect that there were no problems at all. Even the advantages obtained by both parties was worth it.
In a way, this was a very good collaboration.
For the Jaya Family who had never set foot in the jewelry industry, the Soetanto Family would provide a very smooth path for them. Even the Soetanto family did not take advantage of them at all.
They seemed very considerate of Liam’s family.
.....
Liam’s secretary could sense the man’s hesitation. “Sir, I have checked the contract very carefully. This contract is very profitable for us…”
“How long have you worked at the company?” Liam closed the document and looked at his secretary with a serious look.
The secretary fixed his drooping glasses and answered respectfully, “Ten years, sir.”
“You’ve worked ten years, don’t you understand the rules in the business world?”
Liam looked at his secretary seriously and said slowly, “Everyone in the business world wants profit. Meanwhile, the Soetanto Family has absolutely nothing to do with us. Why are they willing to give us this big advantage? Do you think they are stupid?”
Cold sweat ran down the secretary’s face.
He didn’t consider what Liam said. But what the boss said made a lot of sense.
“Master, this contract…” The secretary looked doubtful.
As Liam said, they are all business people. It was impossible for someone to come and open a wide path for them without expecting anything in return. It is impossible to award a contract with a large profit without expecting something back.
From Liam’s words, the secretary knew that Liam had no intention of cooperating.
But somehow, the secretary felt that he had to fight for this lucrative contract.
“But Sir, Big Master told you to cooperate with the Soetanto Family.”
The secretary knew very well about the Jaya Family. Liam’s parents had a hard time getting children after they married until they were more than 30 years old. That’s why they loved their son so much.
But even so, Liam’s parents would not allow their son to act recklessly, especially in an important matter like this.
However, this was a big problem for their company.
“Okay.” Liam was a very devoted son to his parents. He would never go against his parents’ requests so he could only relent. “Create a new contract that makes more sense and send it to the Soetanto Family.”
The secretary thought for a moment and felt that this was the best decision so he nodded.
“Yes, sir. I’ll do it right now.”
The secretary moved very quickly. After making a new contract, he gave it to Liam so Liam could check it out.
Liam felt that the new contract was much better than the previous one, so he immediately sent it to the Soetanto Family.
After the Soetanto family returned to Indonesia, Nadia became general manager at the Indonesian branch of the company.
Nadia looked at the contract in her hand with raised eyebrows. It was a contract that Liam sent back to her, a contract that had been sensibly revised.
She didn’t expect that Liam was a very careful person.
Too bad, because of it, the Jaya Family would have missed the huge profits in vain.
She looked at the contract with disdain and then threw it on the table. Although she had to admit that Liam was a pretty great man, in Nadia’s eyes, there was only one man for her— Christian.
And only Christian is worthy of such a great woman like her.
Her face flashed a confident smile as she thought of Christian.
When Indri succeeded later, Ella would definitely feel worried and anxious. Seeing Ella worrying about another man, Christian must be furious. When the two of them had a fight, Nadia would step into their midst and take advantage of the opportunity.
Nadia won’t do anything.
She would only let Christian see Ella’s true face.
How can there be a woman who truly loves Christian? Nadia was sure that Ella wanted something from Christian.
Maybe his wealth, success or power.
Christian is clearly tricked by Ella.
And Nadia will help Christian to realize this.
At that time, not only would she make Hartono thank her, everyone would also admire her. After that, she would be the only woman who could marry Christian.
She wanted to control people out there to make Ella step back from her place.
In no time, Liam got an answer from Nadia. His heart calmed down a bit after obtaining reasonable cooperation.
But he still felt that something was wrong, even though he didn’t exactly know about it.
His secretary also said that Nadia would like to meet with him to discuss this matter of cooperation tomorrow. Liam had no reason to refuse so he could only accept it.
…
The next day, Liam met Nadia at a restaurant inside a luxury hotel.
Nadia was dressed in her professional attire, looking like an independent and intelligent career woman. In contrast to her usual elegant but conservative appearance, this time she looked very neat. But the charm she exudes remains the same, making people look up to her.
Liam was such a punctual person that he waited before the appointed time.
Nadia arrived ten minutes early. She deliberately came early, she did not expect that when she opened the VIP room, Liam was already inside.
It was true, this man was different from other men.
Seeing Nadia enter, Liam immediately stood up. But his face changed when he saw another figure behind Nadia.
Indri…
“What does this mean?” Liam asked, looking behind Nadia.
