The Amazing son in law Chapter 6466
Everything that happened is ultimately their own doing.
For Charlie Wade, this journey to the United States brought him many rewards.
He successfully rescued Zhou Liangyun, returned him to the Sifang Baozhu, and dealt with both Chen Zhimin and Uncle Sean.
Chen Zhimin was the primary adversary of the An family, while Uncle Sean was the last earl associated with Sara. With their removal, Poqinghui has suffered another significant setback.
Currently, the only individuals within Poqinghui that could pose a threat to Charlie Wade, aside from Sara himself, are the three elders who are on the verge of unlocking the Niwan Palace.
Charlie Wade doesn’t feel rushed to engage in further conflicts with Poqinghui. He believes this is a favorable moment for both sides to establish a temporary ceasefire. Sara is hesitant to interfere in China, allowing Charlie to return and focus on studying the “Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra” in Aurous Hill, as well as examining the photo album left by his father for any potential clues.
Additionally, with the situation in China now secure, Charlie thinks it’s the right time for his wife Claire to come home. He had previously asked Fei Kexin to invite her to the United States, and he deeply misses her.
Thus, he connected to the satellite network on the special plane to make a WeChat call to Fei Kexin.
Once the call connected, Fei Kexin’s voice greeted him: “Mr. Wade, is there something I can assist you with?”
Charlie Wade inquired, “Ms. Fei, how is the progress of your project? When can Claire reasonably withdraw?”
Fei Kexin paused briefly before responding, “Mr. Wade, Claire plays a crucial role in the project as one of the three core designers. Given the size of this project, if we’re to proceed, it will require at least six months to complete the initial design and all handover processes before construction can commence.”
Charlie Wade then asked, “Is there a way for her to exit smoothly?”
Fei Kexin replied with a hint of resignation, “If I were to have a falling out with Claire, she could leave without complications, but that would be quite harsh. Letting her go without a valid reason would mean risking our future friendship.”
Charlie Wade responded, “Let’s avoid such extremes; it would only leave her feeling hurt.”
After that, Charlie Wade asked, “What is your investment in this project?”
Fei Kexin answered, “About one billion U.S. dollars, with 300 million already invested.”
Charlie Wade proposed, “Alright, I’ll contribute $100 million. Please resolve some contractual issues first. We can state that there is a legal dispute concerning land acquisition procedures, which necessitates temporarily suspending the project until the legal team can address it. This way, Claire can return to Aurous Hill, and the project can be resumed later. When the time comes, I’ll ensure Claire politely declines any further involvement.”
In Charlie Wade’s perspective, work can be relentless, often leading to exhaustion. When assisting a friend on a project, one typically hopes to see it through to completion. However, if complications arise and a return is necessary, it offers a chance to unwind and reassess. By suggesting a longer pause for the project, it would make it challenging for Claire to leave once it resumes, especially when she has more pressing matters to attend to.
Moreover, Fei Kexin could request Claire’s expertise under the guise of an “emergency.” If the project is suspended, it would grant her ample time to address matters carefully. At that point, Claire’s willingness to assist may not be as critical.
Upon hearing Charlie Wade’s plan, Fei Kexin responded, “Mr. Wade, you are too kind. This amount is insignificant to the Fei family. I will find a reasonable justification to put the project on indefinite hold. When you need to return to the United States, I will restart it.”
Charlie Wade was momentarily taken aback by this response. He instinctively wanted to decline the offer, but upon reflection, he realized it would be unwise to do so. If a similar situation arose in the future, having Fei Kexin as a reliable ally for his wife would be advantageous, making him hesitant to completely shut that door.
Therefore, he replied, “I’ll leave this in your capable hands, Miss Fei.”
