Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 445 - Terms And Conditions

Xinyi nudged him hard with her elbow. "W-we are having a serious conversation here!" She whispered.

Zhiyuan seriously nodded his head too. "I am also completely serious about our daughter."

Keung chuckled. "Is that a way to console yourself, cousin Zhiyuan? You do realize that you are jobless now."

"I know, and I am fine with it. Xinyi and I need a long, romantic vacation, so I am all up for this jobless part."

Xinyi didn't know what to say.

Zhiyuan smiled. "As for whether or not it will go on forever, you shouldn't be too hopeful about that. Firstly, I can take back the Han Corps anytime I want. I am letting you be the CEO because I really want to know how you will take care of it. Secondly, even if I didn't have Han Corps, I could just start a new company with my wife and become its CEO. I am capable enough for that. I would never be jobless."

Han Mingli laughed. "Come on, Zhiyuan. Don't make it sound as if it's a child's play. Building your own company from scratch and making it successful?"

"Yes."

Xia Liqin frowned. "Why are you so shocked? Didn't I start my business on my own? It's working great. Just because you and Guang didn't have the guts to do it doesn't mean it's something impossible."

Han Guang glared at her.

What does she mean!? That we don't have any talent!?

Keung curiously raised his brow. "Cousin, you still have the chance to back off from your words because I am really interested in challenging you. You wouldn't be too thrilled with that."

Zhiyuan had an amusing expression. "Really? Sure, why not? It's actually exciting. Let's do it."

Xinyi widened her eyes. "Are you sure?"

He pouted. "Doesn't my wife trust me?"

"Of course, I do. But last night, I felt that you really care for Keung. Now, if he loses against you, he would be so heartbroken. I thought as a good big brother, you didn't want to see your little brother sad."

Han Guang was dumbfounded. "Xinyi! It hasn't even started yet, and you are already so arrogant about Zhiyuan winning!? Have some shame!"

"There is no shame in believing my husband. Why? Don't you trust your son?"

Her mouth twitched. "Of course, I do!"

She shrugged. "Well, then."

Keung rolled his eyes. "Calm down, Mom. So hyper. If cousin is so eager to see his downfall, then why should we let him stop?"

Zhiyuan only smiled and said nothing.

Keung looked back at him. "Alright, cousin. I am ready. I will crush your dreams and your confidence once and for all this time. You make your own company if you have the guts."

"I have. That's why I said those words."

He narrowed his eyes. "Okay, then. What should be the terms and conditions?"

Zhiyuan shrugged. "You can keep the terms and conditions that you want. I don't want you coming back to me and complaining that I did something sneaky and unfair because I set them up."

Han Guang sneered. "You are too over confident, Zhiyuan."

"Because I have the capability to back it up," he smiled. "Anyway. What do you want to do, Keung?"

Keung scratched his chin. "I don't mind," he leaned and said, "Let's see. You have to make a company based on the hotel industry like Han Corps. That will be only fair to compete."

"Okay."

"We will judge the winner by the company's profits within three quarters. The company which makes the most profit in at least two quarters will be the winner. Win two quarters to win this challenge."

Three quarters meant nine months. Nine months wasn't enough for any new company to compete on the Han Corps' grand level.

Han Mingli and Han Guang expected him to panic a bit for such a tight deadline. But Zhiyuan wasn't the least bit fazed. "Cool."

His reaction left them extremely dissatisfied.

Keung smiled. "Nice. Now that we have set the winning conditions, let's decide what we will get if we win."

"Go ahead."

Keung said, "If I win, then Grandpa will transfer the rest of the shares to me AND also make me the owner of this house. Also, whatever profits you will secure from your new company during this time will also be mine."

Han Tian and Xia Liqin were extremely enraged.

Hogging Zhiyuan's profits all to himself!

"I can agree to handing over my profits to you. As for the remaining shares and this house, you need to talk to Grandpa. I don't want him to kill me if I agree on his behalf."

"I won't."

Han Huizhong came down and sat on the couch as he sipped his tea. His brow slightly twitched. He looked at Xinyi in complaint. "There is very little sugar in this tea, granddaughter-in-law."

Xinyi nodded. "There is no sugar at all."

"Then make me new tea."

"The doctor said that you need to control your sugar intake for a few months."

"The doctors don't know what they are saying. And they said 'control', not 'stop.'"

"I am being extra careful."

"No need for the extra part. Make me new tea."

"No. There would be no sugar in the new tea either."

"I am not liking this behavior, granddaughter-in-law."

"It's for your good health. I won't be changing it anytime soon."

"I am Han Huizhong if you haven't forgotten. You should be in my good books."

"You should be in my good books if you want to resume eating tasty food again without any restrictions."

He narrowed his eyes. "This is disrespectful, granddaughter-in-law."

She smiled. "Then should I leave this house, Grandpa?"

"And leave me alone with these lunatics? Tian, Liqin, Zhiyuan, Zizi, Guang, Mingli and Keung - everybody is useless."

Everybody except Xinyi violently twitched their mouths.

"You are even crueler than I thought, Xinyi."

Han Guang dryly said, "Uncle, we are having an important conversation-"

Han Huizhong shot a vicious glare at her that made her shudder.

"You think the topic of no sugar in my tea is not worthy of being mentioned? Why don't you start eating the bland foods Xinyi makes and then comment on your so-called 'importance?'"
