My Ex-Husband Is Proposing Again

In contrast, when Ye Qilan saw Du Qingyu, there wasn’t the slightest change in his expression. It was clear that no matter how beautiful or elegant Du Qingyu was, to Ye Qilan she was just another woman, holding no particular significance.
After sighing for a moment, Assistant Luo left the office, leaving the space for Du Qingyu and Ye Qilan to be alone.
Ye Qilan gestured for Du Qingyu to sit down and asked calmly, “Why have you come to our company personally? I heard the third son has temporarily taken over your duties.”
“This project was planned by me, so naturally, it’s best I take charge,” Du Qingyu said, taking out a document and handing it to Ye Qilan. “Have a look at the proposal. If there are any issues, I will make corrections as swiftly as possible.”
Ye Qilan skimmed through it briefly before responding, “The proposal is good, but…”
Upon hearing Ye Qilan’s tone, Du Qingyu sensed there was more to come and felt a bit anxious: “If you have any comments, feel free to let me know.”
Ye Qilan smiled lightly, “Du Qingyu, I knew you were magnanimous. How about this, your company should give up an additional twenty percent, otherwise, our partnership ends here.”
Du Qingyu’s face suddenly changed: “Qilan, how can you go back on your word? We discussed this earlier and you agreed to it. How can you change the terms at this critical moment?”
“I’m a person who’s fickle, there’s nothing I can do about it, it’s just my nature. If it’s really too difficult, we’ll terminate the partnership. If you can concede another twenty percent, I believe our cooperation will be pleasant.” Ye Qilan elegantly curved his lips.
This is just the beginning. If Xiao Ji thinks he can take advantage of him, he will make sure Xiao Ji realizes that even with a few companies in hand, he has ways to keep Xiao Ji from spreading his wings.
Xiao Ji owed him in the past, and it’s time for repayment.
“Qilan, this is too ruthless. If we concede another twenty percent, it means our company will make no profit at all,” Du Qingyu indeed shook her head, “No, I can’t agree to your harsh conditions!”
If things go on like this, they might even incur losses. Especially since the project has already started; if Ye Qilan withdraws from the partnership at this point, what would happen to their project? Where would they find another partner in such a short time?
“Then you should find another partner, as our company will exit this partnership.” Ye Qilan replied calmly.
“Don’t forget, you have already signed a contract with our company. If you breach it, you’ll have to pay damages for breach of contract!” Du Qingyu was anxious, and her voice suddenly rose.
“I never said I wouldn’t pay. I can afford that breach penalty,” Ye Qilan continued, “I can write you a check now.”
Leaving other things aside, money was the least of his worries.
But Du Qingyu, who now had to find another partner, needed time. And her time was precious; wasting even a single day was like burning money. He could afford to play this breach game; Du Qingyu couldn’t.
His goal now was to push Du Qingyu and Xiao Ji to the brink! Leaving them unable to advance or retreat.
Du Qingyu’s face turned pale as she watched Ye Qilan writing the check. She panicked and hurriedly shouted to stop him: “Qilan, wait, let me think it over. I— I will make a call now.”
She was out of ideas. Regardless of anything, considering the gravity of the situation, she had to discuss this with Xiao Ji.
“Please go ahead.” Ye Qilan certainly knew who Du Qingyu was going to call. He deliberately wanted Du Qingyu to call Xiao Ji, even more so to let Xiao Ji know that deceit and manipulation should be played his way.
