Oh, no! I Became the Sister of the Novel’s Tragic Heroine!

Chapter 27

Showing Off Your Edge

Yin Xun did not even turn the page and directly handed the papers back to Liu Yi. She said lightly, “Chief Liu, I’m sure you understand my father’s intentions. The reason why we’re still willing to continue working with you is that our two companies have been working together for many years and we trust each other. The second reason is that this project is too big, and there are many people keeping an eye on it. I don’t need to explain the reason, you should know.”

“If we suddenly change the supplier in the middle, it’ll be obvious that there’s a problem with the quality. Of course, you don’t have to think about resolving this matter by clarifying. After all, the quality inspection report won’t lie. Once this matter is exposed, the impact on your Liu family will definitely be greater than on our Yin family.”

“Think about it, if I didn’t realize it at that time and continued to use inferior materials, if something happened in the future, then the Liu family’s loss would not be as simple as this construction material. In the face of such a big mistake, if you’re only going to lower the cost by such a small amount, I’m afraid we can’t accept it.”

Seeing Yin Xun’s reply, Liu Cheng was dissatisfied and said, “Sigh, we’ve already decided to exchange the problematic building materials for free, and at the same time, we’ll give you 90% of the market price for the rest of the building materials used in the project. Not only will you not lose anything, but you’ll also save a lot of money. What are you dissatisfied with?”

In the face of Liu Cheng’s question, Yin Xun smiled and asked, “Then, according to the law, if a supplier deliberately provides inferior materials, what will happen if they are exposed?”

Although Liu Cheng did not know much, Liu Yi was a sly old fox who had been in the business circle for many years. When he heard Yin Xun’s words, he instantly understood that Yin Xun had come fully prepared.

Indeed, in terms of emotion, reason, and law, they were all the unreasonable party. Even if the Yin family wanted more compensation, it was understandable. With more compensation, they would only earn less money. If they went through legal means, it would be a big deal.

Looking at the calm Yin Xun sitting across from him, Liu Yi could not help but compare her to his own child. Not to mention Liu Ying, who only caused him trouble, Liu Ying was a girl, after all, and he did not have high hopes for her at all. Even his own son, Liu Cheng, paled in comparison to Yin Xun.

He did not know what good things Yin Cheng had done in his past life to have such an outstanding daughter.

“Since you are not satisfied with this proposal, then Miss Yin, tell me. What kind of compensation do you want?” Liu Yi glared at Liu Cheng, who still wanted to say something.

Yin Xun’s fingers lightly tapped on the table twice before she slowly said, “The losses will be borne by you, such as the replacement of materials and the cost of the second construction. Do you have any objections?”

“No,” Liu Yi shook his head and said, “It’s our responsibility to bear this.”

“Very good,” she said. Yin Xun continued, “We’re long-term partners. Such a major incident has greatly affected the trust between our two families. What if something like this happens again in the future?” So, my suggestion is to pay the remaining materials at 50% of the market price. How about it?”

“50%! You’re asking for too much, why don’t you just rob someone!” Upon hearing Yin Xun’s request, Liu Cheng immediately became anxious and shouted.

“You didn’t do this on purpose, did you? Who knows if you’ve done something to the construction materials…”

“Shut up!”

Seeing that Liu Cheng was about to blurt out something, Liu Yi quickly stopped him. He was already very glad that he did not cause any trouble this time. Yin Xun was right. Right now, it was purely to compensate the Yin family. If they had not realized that something had happened, in the end, if someone had died, the situation would be bigger than this.

Now, this matter could be big or small, and it all depended on what the Yin family said. They were the ones who were in the wrong first, so they could not continue to provoke the Yin family.

Even so, as a businessman, Liu Yi still had to find a way to minimize his losses. Thus, he continued to negotiate with Yin Xun. “50% is too much. How about this? We’ll lower it by 20% and give you 80% of the market share. If we have any good materials in the future, we’ll definitely give you priority. What do you think?”

Liu Yi spoke with sincerity, but Yin Xun was sneering in her heart.

As expected of an old fox. This suggestion sounded very good at first glance. In the future, the Yin family would also benefit from working with them. However, there was a prerequisite for this benefit, and that was to continue working with the Yin family. This seemed to be compensation, but at the same time, it paved the way for future cooperation. It was simply killing two birds with one stone.

“President Liu, we can talk about future cooperation in the future. It’s too early to talk about the future now. Who knows what will happen in the future, right?” Yin Xun did not accept this suggestion.
