Chapter 44: It Doesn’t Seem Like An Accident

Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

"The doctor said I'll be able to walk in about a week," Nian Junting seemed to have no mood for small talks, as he continued with, "Have you read the files yet? This contract is crucial. You're a famous lawyer. You should read it carefully with your team, as there's no room for mistake.

"Don't worry. I've been working with Xiao Yue for so many years. Don't I know it clearly enough?" An Lan responded smilingly, "Mr. Xiao, Mr. Jiang the translator, and I were discussing that."

Luosang who stood behind Nian Junting immediately furred out who these two strangers were. One of them was a lawyer while the other was a translator. The female lawyer named An Lan seemed to like Nian Junting.

'You can like any man, yet you chose the arrogant Nian Junting," thought Luosang.

"Where's Huang Haoyun? Why isn't he here yet," said Nian Junting with a sour face, "Do I need to wait for him?"

"He just called to tell us that the principal from Chuanchi Gaisha needs to talk to him about something, so he might be late," Xiao Si crossed his legs, smiled and said, "Huang Haoyun has done great deeds for our company. I really didn't expect him to make this project happen. It seems that he'll have no problems taking the general manager's job in the Investment and Research Department of our company after we signed this contract. It's mentionable that, this will be an important step for us to open the electronic technology market."

"He surprised me this time," Nian Junting knocked the desk with his fingers while hastening, "Alright, let's start the meeting without him. An Lan, is there any problem with this contract? Those Japanese people are quite astute. I don't want them to play any trick in the contract."

"I'll read it through a couple of more times," said An Lan seriously.

Nian Junting lowered his head. An Lan called for another lawyer immediately, and then they chose a quiet area in the meeting room to sit down, started reading the contract and communicating with each other in low voices.

During this time, Nian Junting and Xiao Si had also been carefully reading the copy of the contract which had been translated into Chinese.

Luosang stood behind Nian Junting quietly. Yesterday, she had read nearly the whole contract in Japanese. So, when Nian Junting turned to page thirteen, she suddenly knitted her brows, then couldn't help but look at Mr. Jiang.

Mr. Jiang was staring at the screen of his laptop, but would glance out of the corners of his eyes at Nian Junting from time to time. When he did that again, he accidentally made an eye-contact with Luosang.

She was just a carer the eyes of Mr. Jiang, but when the reflection of sunlight flashed across her glasses, he automatically turned away, fixed his eyes on the screen again. His body seemed to be a little stiff.

Luosang suddenly figured something out.

The contract had many pages. Mr. Jiang made zero mistakes when translating its content before page thirteen, but mistranslated one word on page thirteen. That didn't seem like an accident. Luosang assumed he made that mistake on purpose.

She didn't know the investment market well enough, but more or less, she knew a little about how profitable that market was, and those behind-the-scenes plots happening in it. Frankly speaking, it was constantly changing.

This project would involve over a billion yuan. If Nian Junting's company ever need to engage in a lawsuit for it, that enormous sum of money might be spent in vain.

Luosang looked at Nian Junting with a complicated expression. She had to admit that when he was concentrated on working, his whole body would radiate a charming vibe of elegance and composure.

These days, she had learned how much he valued this project. Because he often stayed up until midnight for it even though he still had difficulties in moving.

He was born in a wealthy family, but from him, Luosang had seen the endeavor of a successful man.

Form some aspects, she did appreciate him and admire him.

"Mr. Nian, sorry I'm late," at that moment, a slightly chubby man quickly walked in, saying, "Just now, the principal of Chuanchi Gaisha insisted on having a video meeting with me. He told me that if you're happy with the contract, the owner of their company will fly over to sign it tomorrow."

"In such a hurry?" Asked Nian Junting.


Chapter 45: She Works for Me

"Yeah, Chuanchi Gaisha is eager to inject new capital into their projects." Huang Haoyun grinned and said, "Some other companies have also casted their eyes on them, so everyone was afraid that a long delay might cause unnecessary troubles. The contract is based on our negotiation before, and we're at an advantage situation."

An Lan walked over and said, "I've checked the contract very clearly; no problems found."

"Are you sure?" asked Nian Junting.

"We've known each other for years," said An Lan smilingly. "Every time you've signed a contract for a large case, I was the one checking it. Has any problem ever occurred?"

"Alright, you're a respected lawyer. I believe that you can even spot even the most minor of mistakes," Xiao Si said. He then stood up and said, "In this case, let's sign the contract tomorrow."

"Em…" Nian Junting lowered his head and said, "The meeting is over…"

"Wait…" a low voice was heard from behind him. "I think there's a problem with this contract."

The people who were preparing to leave all laid their eyes on the person who said that. The person was Luosang, wearing faded jeans, a thick black jacket, and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. She was so humble-looking that some people in the meeting room didn't even know that she was there until now.

"A problem?" Huang Haoyun was the first to respond and did so in a scornful tone, "Who do you think you are? Are you even educated? Don't blather if you know nothing. Everyone else in this room is much higher educated than you."

Nian Junting knitted his brows, as he was also displeased by Luosang. He was going to snap at Luosang, but after hearing Huang Haoyun's words, he warned him without thinking, "Director Huang, mind your attitude. She works for me. Even though she's just my carer, it's not your place to talk to her like that. Please remember who you are."

Huang Haoyun's face paled. He explained hurriedly, "I'm sorry, Mr. Nian. I'm just feeling a little uncomfortable. As you said, she's just a carer, not an industry insider. She knows nothing about our business indeed…"

"Mr. Nian, I agree with Director Huang." An Lan turned around and said unpleasantly, "My partner and I have read this contract together, and both of us think there's no problem about it. I think you really should restrain your employees. She can't question our expertise for no reason other than the fact that she works for you."

Nian Junting's face darkened when he heard An Lan and Huang Haoyun. He glared at Luosang, waiting for her to give a reasonable explanation.

"I didn't mean the translated copy. I was talking about the Japanese contract," Luosang knew that she would be considered repulsive if she did this, but she insisted on saying it anyway.

"Japanese?" Huang Haoyun laughed out loud. "A carer can read Japanese? Is this a joke? Let's go and not waste time in here."

"Who says that carers can't read Japanese?" Luosang tightened her face, looked at Nian Junting straight in the eyes and said, "Mr. Nian, last night, when you were reading the contract, I roughly read it through as well. On page 13, the article 21 is slightly different from the translated copy. In the Chinese copy, Party A has no right to request, but in the Japanese copy, Party A does have the right to request."

The look in Mr. Jiang's face changed slightly as he said, "I've worked over ten years as a translator; how could I make such a simple mistake? Mr. Nian, I am one of your oldest employees. I started working here when you started this company, and we've been through all sorts of ups and downs together. If you believe her, you would be questioning my expertise."
