Chapter 388 My Power, Visit by Marquis Andrea

In Blue Star, Chen Xuan already has a dual identity.

In terms of transcendence, he is the mysterious man of Blue Star, but in terms of life, he is still Chen Xuan.

It's just that he is Chen Xuan who has become rich after starting a business.

Xia Country has a large population, and there is no shortage of examples of people getting rich quickly.

This was the case in the speculation era in the early years and the Internet era in recent years.

People who get rich quickly are not to say that they are everywhere, but they are by no means isolated cases.

This is especially true in the super city of Tianhai.

When people hear about those people who get rich quickly, they often make malicious speculations.

This is normal, and everyone in the world has many sides.

Kindness and jealousy often coexist.

In people's minds, people who get rich quickly are often equivalent to speculators, or lucky people.

But as long as there is a legal industry, there is really nothing wrong with it.

Money can really support people.

After having money, changing your clothes and life, the whole person's temperament will change greatly.

At this moment, Chen Xuan deeply agrees with this.

But if you think about it carefully, it's just that.

Especially after having extraordinary power, the happiness brought by wealth instantly diminished a lot.

But if it is used as a means of relaxation, it is still relatively comfortable.

Compared with Naroya, he is more accustomed to the material enjoyment on Blue Star.

Pick up the wine glass and take a sip of Obiang dry red wine.

Look at the Bund with brilliant lights.

The evening breeze blowing across the river makes him particularly comfortable and enjoyable.

The price of 20,000 per bottle is a blind spot he has never touched before.

But now it is just a ration wine.

Lin Qiang sat opposite and looked at Chen Xuan's profile.

Her eyes were a little blurred.

In fact, Lin Qiang's heart is somewhat lacking in love.

After all, in all these years in Tianhai, she has never carefully examined her emotional needs.

She regards herself more as a commodity.

Worship money, reality, and wait for the price.

Many ugly labels can be attached to her.

She is not even a good woman in the traditional sense.

So Chen Xuan couldn't give her any promises of eternal love.

This was probably the price she had to pay.

But from another perspective, since both parties had the qualities that the other party needed.

Then they were a perfect match.

Chen Xuan never concealed his desires.

It was not shameful to have desires, as all mortals had desires, just as all mortals had to die.

Although he didn't make any promises to Lin Qiang, he also sincerely regarded her as his woman.

Similarly, Lin Qiang also perfectly played the role of a lover, or girlfriend.

Chen Xuan withdrew his gaze from the neon-lit building in the distance.

When he turned his head, he happened to meet Lin Qiang's eyes.

He smiled slightly and tilted his head.

"Are you full?"

Lin Qiang nodded, wiping the corners of her mouth gently with a napkin.

"I'm full."

"Let's go for a walk along the Bund later?"

She took the initiative to suggest.

Chen Xuan shrugged and had no objection to this.

He stood up and asked the waiter to bring the bill. After paying with a card, he left with Lin Qiang.

He was very satisfied with the current lover mode and didn't want to go any further.

So every time Lin Qiang expressed the idea of ​​living together or starting a family, he would decisively refuse.

Just kidding, if they lived together, how could he come and go as fast as the wind?

The lover mode was the most suitable relationship for the two of them at the moment, except for the contract.

Lin Qiang gently took his strong arm.

She leaned slightly on Chen Xuan.

The two walked along the Bund, passing through tourists who came to take pictures of the night view.

The sightseeing boats on the river cruised by.

In the changing street scene, only the figures of Chen Xuan and Lin Qiang remained unchanged.

They shuttled and moved forward, as if they were passers-by in this city.

The atmosphere was very subtle, a little warm, and there was some inexplicable meaning.

The temperature in mid-September was still a bit hot.

Chen Xuan wore a business shirt and unbuttoned his cuffs and collar.

With one hand in his pocket, he let Lin Qiang hold his arm.

Just as the two were walking silently, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

The warm atmosphere between the two was immediately broken.

Chen Xuan took out his phone and took a look. It was Li Zhendong who called.

He frowned slightly and clicked to answer the call.

"Hello, Adong."

Li Zhendong rarely called to disturb him. More often, he chose to leave a message on WeChat.

So it was a rare thing for him to call at this time.

This made Chen Xuan, who was used to being a hands-off boss, feel a little confused.

"Xuan... Axuan..."

Li Zhendong's slightly nervous voice came from the speaker of the phone.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Xuan keenly noticed that something was wrong and asked quickly.

At this time, there was a "rustling" sound on the other end of the phone.

It seemed that someone had taken the phone away.

Sure enough, the next moment, a low male voice was heard on the other end of the phone.

"Li Zhendong's new boss?"

"Let me introduce myself. I am Ren Cunxin, the head of the legal department of Dongfang International Tianhai Runfeng Foreign Trade Company. Li Zhendong violated the non-compete agreement."

"He joined Lanna Trading Co., Ltd., your company, less than 24 months after he voluntarily resigned."

"It is obvious that there is a clear industry competition relationship between your company and ours."

"According to the agreement, Li Zhendong must pay 2 million yuan in liquidated damages."

"Otherwise, our company will take legal measures."

Chen Xuan listened to the head of the legal department named Ren Cunxin with an expressionless expression, and couldn't help but sneered: "Haha."

After a moment of silence, he continued.

"Location?"

The other party didn't seem to expect him to be so direct, and he hesitated for a while before giving an address.

It was a small cafe in a quiet area.

Depending on the nature of the evening rush hour, it takes about thirty minutes to drive there from near the Bund.

"Wait for me, I'll be there in half an hour."

After saying that, he hung up the phone and his eyes became cold.

A non-compete agreement?

Li Zhendong originally worked as a "handyman" in an administrative position in Runfeng.

Neither technical nor business related.

There is a non-competition relationship.

The most outrageous thing is the liquidated damages of up to 2 million.

Generally speaking, non-compete liquidated damages are 10 to 15 times the monthly salary.

This is obviously beyond the standard and outrageous.

Although the amount can be adjusted through judicial representation, the process is cumbersome.

And if that silly boy Li Zhendong really signed a non-competition agreement, then he would indeed be the party at fault.

If you follow the procedure to the end, you will still suffer.

The difference is just eating more and eating less.

Secondly, A Dong seemed to have been tricked. He probably signed the non-compete agreement without paying attention.

Because Li Zhendong didn't know the existence of this thing at all.

This incident made Chen Xuan a little angry.

He could easily take out 2 million, but doing so would only make Runfeng laugh.

He has plenty of ways to deal with such a foreign trade company.

Now, let's go meet Ren Cunxin, the so-called head of the legal department.

Let's see what this guy is capable of.

Lin Qiang stood aside silently, almost understanding the whole story.

"Xuan...do you want to call the police?"

"One of my former colleagues is now a lawyer in a law firm..."

Lin Qiang, who didn't know Chen Xuan's details, could only think of conventional methods.

It's not a good idea to let lawyers and uncles fight.

The other party came well prepared, and judging by their posture, it was clear that they were good at playing around with rogue contracts and confusing agreements.

This is actually not the most outrageous thing. Chen Xuan has a classmate with a monthly salary of 6,000 yuan and a liquidated damages of 10 million yuan in the non-compete agreement.

There are actually quite a few companies run by this damn guy.

The key is to enter any contract with your eyes wide open.

And in fact, few actually pursue it.

I'm afraid it was Lanna Trading Company itself that caught Runfeng's attention.

Lanna Trading may seem inconspicuous, but in the eyes of those who are interested in the industry, some situations can still be seen clearly.

Compared with Runfeng, Lan Na is just a little shrimp with no status.

Whether it is employees, business scale, or registered capital, they are very different.

Such a small shrimp can actually get big orders one after another.

It is impossible not to feel jealous and strange.

Unexpectedly, Chen Xuan's little life was not targeted by Guo Jia, but was instead targeted by his peers.

"Let's go, let's go there in person."

Chen Xuan said to Lin Qiang in a concise and concise manner.

The latter nodded seriously.

…

"Li Zhendong, your boss is quite a personality."

In the Word of Spring Cafe, Ren Cunxin and two guys in suits and ties sat opposite Li Zhendong.

At night, there were not many people in this coffee shop.

Their location is blocked by glass partitions, making them appear low-key.

There are several copies of the contract on the table.

He didn't bring the original.

Li Zhendong's face turned a little pale, and his expression was both angry and a little confused.

There are too many routines in the city, so it’s better to go back to the countryside.

Ren Cunxin put the phone back on his desk after hanging up.

After hearing what this guy said, Li Zhendong couldn't help but angrily yelled.

"I'm just an administrator, and I mostly do odd jobs!"

"You made me sign a non-competition agreement in a daze!"

"Is this reasonable??"

Ren Cunxin tilted his neck back and answered with a slightly rogue expression.

"It doesn't matter whether it's reasonable or not."

"What matters is that you signed the agreement."

“It’s written in black and white and has the force of law.”

He spoke very rationally, and the more he said this, the more inexplicably angry he felt in Li Zhendong.

There is also unspeakable self-blame and guilt.

"you…"

"Save your energy."

"Wait until your boss comes."

"I'm afraid you will have a lot to say by then."

Ren Cunxin said with a smile, and further tried to break Li Zhendong's defenses.

Li Zhendong, who was sitting opposite, sighed feebly.

But Ren Cunxin said nothing more.

He took out a lighter and kept tossing it back and forth in his hands.

He waited until more than twenty minutes before speaking again.

"actually…"

"There's another solution."

“Companies can waive non-compete claims.”

"But you must provide Lanner Trading Company's recent business details."

"Include buyer's information."

Ren Cunxin thought that Li Zhendong's defenses were almost destroyed, and then he showed his fangs.

Requesting buyer information is nothing more than an attempt to intercept someone.

According to normal business competition, there must be something like Runfeng that Lanna has.

Moreover, Lanna’s registered capital is only a mere 1 million.

For Runfeng, it is 50 million, which is still paid in, not subscribed.

If you really want to compete, just ceding some of your interests is enough to cut off the other party's customers.

They have a relationship with the customs, and the details are similar, but the general situation is still settled.

Lanna's customer is a Burmese company with great demand for daily necessities.

It was very easy to pay and seemed to have sufficient funds.

If the beard can be cut off, the subsequent benefits will definitely be huge.

It just so happens that the situation in Myanmar is changing now.

There must be a period of calm after the chaos, and then there will definitely be demand.

Lan Na, with his little capital, made a business that made his peers jealous.

No wonder Runfeng would want to use Li Zhendong's affairs to interfere.

Whether it works or not, you won’t suffer anyway.

I saw Li Zhendong's face turning red and white.

After several changes, he finally shook his head and refused.

"impossible."

When he said this, his attitude was very firm.

It actually made Ren Cunxin feel a little impressed.

This is not the first time he has used similar means.

This is the first time I have seen such a tough guy. Normally, if there is a chance to escape by betraying the boss, he will almost 100% choose to betray the boss.

Unexpectedly, Li Zhendong, a weakling, showed a very tough side.

Ren Cunxin suddenly sneered and was about to say something.

The glass door of the coffee shop was pushed open, and his words were interrupted by the "Welcome" shouted by the clerk.

The visitors were none other than Chen Xuan and Lin Qiang.

Chen Xuan unleashed his mental energy and quickly locked onto Ren Cunxin's position.

"I'm looking for someone."

He simply responded to the clerk.

Chen Xuan walked towards where Ren Cunxin and Li Zhendong were.

It's relatively private there, with a glass partition blocking the clerk's view.

He stepped to the table.

Li Zhendong stood up quickly, and Ren Cunxin and two big men in suits who were sitting opposite could not help but turn their heads.

"Are you the boss of Lanna Trading?"

He asked, sitting where he was without moving.

Chen Xuan didn't answer, just raised the corner of his mouth.

He raised his wrist and made a slight move, and fine powder immediately floated out.

Under the guidance of spiritual power, these powders instantly disappeared into the mouths and noses of the three people.

Immediately, the expressions of Ren Cunxin and the two big men in suits became dull.

It was a dull look with distracted eyes, but their aura was still stable.

This made Lin Qiang and Li Zhendong couldn't help but open their mouths slightly.

Chen Xuan directly spoke into their minds using mental sound transmission.

"I have something very important to tell you later."

"About...my power..."

"Now let's deal with these three guys first."

In fact, Chen Xuan still planned to show off his cards by signing a contract with Li Zhendong and Lin Qiang.

The most that can be done is to conclude a less harsh contract.

Li Zhendong nodded blankly, and Lin Qiang subconsciously covered her mouth.

Chen Xuan waited until they all calmed down a little before speaking directly.

"let's go."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked outside the cafe.

The three people also followed behind them.

Li Zhendong quickly followed.

Lin Qiang was walking at the end, and Chen Xuan didn't forget to ask her to pay the bill.

"Qiang'er, settle the bill."

There were two people when we arrived and six people when we left.

Chen Xuan is going to cook it slowly.

At the same time, outside Naroa's Thorned Fortress, Count Andrea visited with a large number of followers.
