I Am the Only Fertile Woman in the Game-Chapter 278: Hedging Agreement

The negotiation had lasted for two hours.

Qiao Suisui’s chips were laid out one by one on the table.

First, she played the recording of Supervisor 778 for Han Chen, and Han Chen’s expression turned ugly instantly.

"President Han wouldn’t say again that this is an employee who has been dismissed by your company and has nothing to do with you, would he?"

Qiao Suisui methodically analyzed it for him, one point after another.

"With this recording, it can be completely proven that INF Company broadcasted and promoted their game live without obtaining the players’ consent in advance. Overseas is different from the inner land; such news, once it appears in the public eye, will definitely cause a huge uproar."

Han Chen treated the issue with disdain.

"Is it just about public relations? Even if you expose us, as long as I let the team handle it, there are many ways to deal with it. It’s merely a question of how much we lose."

The man leaned in, smiling at Qiao Suisui, "I can afford the loss."

Han Chen had seen much in the business world. At this moment, both his momentum and his reaction speed were extraordinary. An ordinary person might have been bluffed here, thinking that their chips were truly useless to him.

But Qiao Suisui was silent for a moment, then looked him in the eyes and said, "Even if you can spend money on public relations to recover, can you buy time?"

Currently, INF Company had spent a lot of money on promotional hype, and many channels had already been laid out; the next step was to end the beta and officially launch the service. But, at this critical juncture, if scandals kept being exposed, it would be not just a matter of loss, but a question of whether the game could be released officially.

Once unable to release as planned, the company’s financial report for the year would definitely look bleak, leading to a sharp fall in stock prices, and investors would undoubtedly hold them accountable. The stakes and risks involved would then be too complicated to clear up.

Of course, Han Chen was well aware of this.

He was still bluffing Qiao Suisui, thinking she was just a little girl who couldn’t even do the math properly.

Little did he know that she was clear about the rules of the capital game, thanks to Guan Weizhi.

After a standoff, Han Chen finally said, "Name your price. How much money does it take to buy the stuff in your hands?"

Qiao Suisui looked puzzled, "I thought I made myself clear. I want the operating rights in the inner land."

"Kid, don’t bite off more than you can chew. Too big an appetite, and you won’t be able to handle it."

"There’s no need for you to worry about me," Qiao Suisui smiled and said, "And I believe this is a proposal where you absolutely can’t lose."

She looked at Han Chen earnestly, "I’ll sign a hedging agreement with you."

Han Chen’s eyebrows raised slightly, his interest in the person before him utterly apparent.

All she said was, "Give me the operational permit for the inner land, I’ll open a company there to publish and operate this game, 70% of the annual revenue goes to INF’s headquarters, the remaining 30% is mine. Three years—I’ll help you turn the revenue positive, and double the profit margin. Dare to bet?"

Han Chen looked at her, silent for a long time.

In this way, he and she would be in a community of interest, and the leverage Qiao Suisui held wouldn’t be a threat anymore, plus, with her popular player identity, the subsequent PR and promotion work would also go smoothly.

The man unbuttoned one of the buttons on his suit and sat lazily in the swivel chair. His hands tapped on the table, again and again, the sound echoing in the empty meeting room.

"What if you lose?" he asked.

"Do whatever you want to hold me accountable. If you’re worried, write it in black and white in the agreement."

Han Chen smiled, tilted his head looking at her, seemingly very curious, "Was this your plan from the beginning? The end of your world actually gave you an excuse?"

"Not at all," Qiao Suisui solemnly denied, "It’s precisely because I want my world to continue to exist in my life that I’ve taken this step."

Han Chen revealed a puzzled expression, "Isn’t it just a game? Have you really fallen in love with a character inside?"

"Is it not allowed?"

Qiao Suisui’s calm made Han Chen feel a hint of madness in her.

He shrugged his shoulders and a gleam flashed through his eyes, then he smiled and tested the waters, "For a girl like you, there should be plenty of suitors in real life, why bother going into a game to date a bunch of paper characters?"

Qiao Suisui found such a remark uncomfortable to hear. She really wanted to say it was precisely because in reality, there are men like you who are arrogant, thinking everything is under control, including women.

But she just got up, walked over, completely ignoring his remarks, and extended her hand, "Pleasure doing business."

Han Chen glanced at her and shook her hand. "Pleasure doing business."

Two hours before erasure.

INF’s employees were highly efficient, and soon, a drafted agreement was placed in front of Qiao Suisui. By then, Guan Weizhi and the lawyers he brought were also present at Suisui’s request.

"Everything all right? Are you hurt?" Guan Weizhi frowned as he scrutinized her from head to toe, noticing some redness and swelling on her wrist and slight disarray in her hair, he immediately turned his gaze towards Han Chen.

"I’m going to sue you for the illegal use of force."

Han Chen had been observing Guan Weizhi ever since he entered, and he snorted when he noticed how Guan looked at Qiao Suisui.

Hearing Guan’s words, Han Chen said mockingly, "At most, you could claim I didn’t manage well. Go ahead and sue."

Guan was staring coldly at him, his frustration evident as he saw Han’s indifferent attitude like a boar unbothered by scalding water.

"Teacher Guan, let it go," Qiao Suisui signaled to him with her eyes that she was fine.

Guan’s expression then slightly softened.

During the signing process, lawyers from both sides were present. Because of this, some details and specific clauses were debated by the lawyers for a while, securing the greatest advantages for their respective employers.

"My client has not agreed to invest, only to provide licensing rights to your side."

"But opening cities in the inner land is not an easy task, fully undertaken by my client with high initial costs, and..."

Qiao Suisui watched Han Chen, seeing his cunning smile.

"I said I’d give you licensing rights, not that I’d invest. If you don’t have enough funds, perhaps you’d like to borrow some from me?" Han Chen said.

Qiao Suisui was about to speak when Guan Weizhi already spoke first, "President Han need not worry, Zhonghe Foundation will invest in Miss Qiao’s inner land company."

As soon as these words were out, everyone in the conference room gasped in shock.

A hint of surprise flitted across Han Chen’s eyes.

No wonder this young lady was so confident; she had capital support behind her.

The more he observed their relationship, the more it seemed complex, and he couldn’t help feeling restless.

With this major issue resolved, what remained was only the last obligation Qiao Suisui had to fulfill in the event of a failed counter-bid, which the lawyers expressed as unscrupulous.

"Your side demands my client become Han Chen’s personal secretary; isn’t that absurd?"

"That’s our demand, Miss Qiao. If Mr. Han remembers correctly, you mentioned that the conditions could be set by us."

Qiao Suisui was taken aback; she indeed hadn’t expected Han Chen to make such a condition.

"I was referring to commercial terms, not these personal..."

She was somewhat baffled.

Yet Han Chen seemed like someone completely unrelated to the matter, continually playing with a baseball in his hand.

His lawyer continued to argue strenuously.

Qiao Suisui glanced at the time; there was one hour left until erasure.

"Fine, I’ll sign."

She decisively picked up the pen and signed her name.

Guan Weizhi didn’t even have the chance to stop her.

Han Chen raised his eyebrows with a smile and signed swiftly as well.

"I look forward to your performance."
