Chapter 933: Chapter 933: Is Miss Thompson Trying to Use Connections?
Considering the current state of Hua Shun, if they don’t want to go bankrupt, they absolutely cannot come up with the penalty for breach of contract.
Yet now they are actively proposing to terminate the contract.
Charlotte Thompson’s brows furrowed involuntarily.
"Is someone helping Hua Shun?" Charlotte asked.
She could guess a thing or two about these business competitions.
Sure enough, Justin Battleson nodded and motioned Charlotte to look at the document.
"I had someone do a simple check; Hua Shun has signed a partnership with a new company," Justin spoke.
"XR...Sunrise?" Charlotte murmured as she looked at the sparse information.
"The company is registered in Cethuira, owning apparel and jewelry brands, as well as an agency."
Justin said, "After all, it’s a new enterprise founded less than four years ago; it’s only considered a second-tier company."
"Could it be a coincidence that they partnered with Hua Shun?" Charlotte asked, but immediately dismissed the thought the next second.
The influence of the Riley Group covers the globe, and any collaboration with Hua Shun can be easily understood with a simple inquiry. There could hardly be any ’coincidence’ in this matter.
"Who is behind this Sunrise Group?" Charlotte asked.
"A scion of a wealthy family, a bright graduate from a prestigious school, founded the company with a partner, and quickly went public due to riding the trend," Justin explained succinctly.
Although it is a public company, the idea that it could support Hua Shun in paying double the compensation seems somewhat unbelievable.
Although Charlotte is not very familiar with matters of the marketplace, she could tell that this affair was definitely not as simple as it appeared.
"What about Hua Shun’s side then..." Charlotte put down the documents.
Justin Battleson grabbed Charlotte’s hand, his fingertips gently rubbing the palm of her hand.
"Looking at the current situation, Hua Shun will probably terminate the collaboration," Justin spoke somberly, his voice deepening.
The Riley Group held this cooperation in high regard and never expected that a flaw would appear at the last moment.
Although Justin had already prepared a contingency plan, the losses this time were inevitable.
The Riley Group is currently leading in the jewelry industry, with countless companies vying for cooperation, yet now Hua Shun has taken the initiative to breach the contract.
Justin curled his fingers, lightly tapping on the desk.
It had been a long time since any company dared to compete with the Riley Group in business.
"Justin, I have a partnership in mind; I wonder if I could get in touch with the company?" Charlotte leaned in, her face turned towards Justin.
Justin’s brow twitched, he hooked Charlotte’s wrist and pulled her into his embrace amidst her cry of surprise.
"How about it, Miss Thompson, are you trying to use your connections?" Justin asked with a soft laugh.
Charlotte, still a bit shaken, hugged Justin’s neck. Seeing the smile on Justin’s face, she playfully glared at him.
"Who’s using connections?" Charlotte muttered softly.
"If that’s the case, then I disagree with this partnership," Justin said somberly.
"How can you do this!" Charlotte straightened up in Justin’s embrace.
"If it were some renowned brand or business, they would have contacted me directly. Now it requires you to speak up... could it be, Charlotte, that you’ve taken over Thompson Family’s business? "
Justin looked at Charlotte’s cheeks, teasingly spoke, and unsurprisingly, received an annoyed look from Charlotte.
"Let’s talk seriously, this partnership is with the brand I mentioned to you before, Melissa Tanner," Charlotte blinked her eyes.
Justin seemed to recall the name: "That cultural fashion brand?"
Charlotte nodded.
