Xia Lihua had motives beyond acquiring company assets, and Liang Sichen was merely executing her instructions.
Liang Sichen made an effort to hide his amusement and maintain a poker face. "Let me make this clear one last time – I won't consider revising the contract. All I'm asking for is 500 million yuan. It shouldn't be an insurmountable sum."
Xia Tianyu was trembling with fear and began to babble in desperation, "If not company assets, is there anything else you are interested in? I'm willing to offer something valuable as collateral."
Liang Sichen rhythmically tapped his fingers on the polished mahogany table. "For now, I'll stick with the money. It will suffice."
"Mr. Liang, I understand the urgency of this matter, but our company's financial stability is at stake. 500 million yuan is an immense sum for us. If you can just grant us some more time to recover and make the payment in installments, it would relieve the enormous burden on us."
