The Man in Power After Being Married into Her Family by Adela

Thereafter, having achieved his goal, he did not continue dwelling on this issue, and he changed the subject directly, "By the way, Sophie, how did your discussion with Mr. Ito Yahiko go? This guy has always wanted to collaborate with us and break out of Asia to go global. However, it seems as though he does not look up to us anymore ever since the incident in Tokyo." "Yes." Sophie said, "It seems as though there has been a change in Mr. Ito's attitude. However, I can understand his reasoning. Our discussion is currently going very well. After all, things are no longer the sas how they used to be in the past. I've also lowered my stance, and I intend to use the entire ocean shipping group to form a new company together with the Ito family. At that time, the Ito family will own 51% of the shares, and I'll own 49% of the shares. That way, I'll transfer the fixed assets over to the new company before nullifying the Schulz Ocean Shipping Group. I should be able to bypass the previous restrictions and risks, then." When Cadfan heard this, he did not feel very resistant although he was very surprised.

He did not expect that Sophie would truly be able to make a connection with Yahiko. Although Cadfan felt that it was a little unpleasant because Sophie would be losing the controlling interest in this collaboration, no matter what it was, this was a special situation. Since they had to ask for a favor, it would only be appropriate for ssacrifices to be made. 4 In the long run, the assets and business could be reborn even if sbenefits had to be sacrificed. However, it would be better if the entire business could be brought back to life instead of making even more losses.

As he thought about this, he reminded Sophie," Sophie, it would not be an issue for you to collaborate and form a new company with the Ito family.

However, you have to leave room for maneuver, and you have to state clearly in the contract that you will be retaining the rights to withdraw all of these assets and resources that you're investing in this new company. That way, as soon as the higher-ups lift their restrictions on us, we will be able to withdraw all of these assets and restart the Schulz family's own ocean shipping group again." As Charlie listened from the sidelines, he could not help but secretly think to himself that this old b*stard was indeed very calculative. He did not even forget about leaving room for maneuver even at a tlike this.

Sophie felt that since she had already decided to collaborate with Charlie, she would naturally not be playing this kind of selfish and petty trick.

Resorting to this kind of petty trick was equivalent to getting a full notarization of all her dowry before getting married into her husband's family. 2 This way, if the marriage fell apart, or if she did not want to continue staying by her husband's side anymore, she would have the right to take all of her dowries away.

Although there would not be any problems legally, with this kind of premise here, the feelings and relationship between the couple could never be stable. This kind of behavior would naturally becthe gap between the both of them. 3 So, Sophie told Cadfan, "I still intend to give my 100% sincerity in this collaboration with the other party. This is the only way we can have totally unreserved and perfect collaboration so that we can continue growing the induland make it even bigger. If we were all to cup with this kind of petty trick, this collaboration would certainly not last long." Cadfan said solemnly, "Sophie, it is not as though the Schulz family has never engaged in any joint ventures with others before. However, the premise of all our joint ventures iset velet that we should have absolute control. This is actually a very important point! We have to make sure that we hold onto the controlling rights. Since Ito Yahiko wants to hold the controlling stake now, we have to leave a way out for ourselves.

Otherwise, it would be too passive if we were to leave everything in the hands of others!"

When Sophie heard this, she said in a somewhat serious tone, "I have a different opinion from you on this matter. If I want to leave a way out of this joint venture at this time, the Ito int venture NO family will certainly want to. make the skind of request too. If the other party does not do anything, it would be fine. However, what should we do if the other party decides to kick us out and get rid of us before our problem is resolved? Not everyone has to necessarily act and do things according to our mindset." 1 As she spoke of this, Sophie then added, "In addition, since you've already given the ocean shipping group toas compensation, I also hope that you'll keep your promise toand respect all of my operational decisions." 2

Immediately after that, Sophie then said, "Of course, I'll also keep my promise to you. After I'm done with m y discussion with MX Ko, Ifcontact my benefactor immediately and try to persuade him." 2 Cadfan could only say resentfully, "Okay! Since that is the case, I'll not interfere with your operational decisions anymore in the future!"

Before hanging up the phone, Sophie reminded him, "O h, by the way, it is actually very simple to handle the Maldives matter Why don't I make a trip there tomorrow, then? It should only takeseven hours to fly there, and if everything is done efficiently, we can complete the transfer in one day." Cadfan, who was on the other end of the line, rubbed his chest as he said in dismay, "Alright. I'll ask Arrington X
