Volume 3 - 175 Sincerely

Chapter 175: Sincerely

Spotting his sharp gaze and dissatisfied expression, the CEO ugly further added, "Don’t think that the contract is a bad thing for the country as a whole, Mr. President. On the contrary, it would be extremely beneficial for it! Since we would be providing the country with a lot of advanced technologies which would bring the country and even the whole world to a new era soon ... also... actually... we won’t be as harsh as it is stated in the contract... like... for example, when it comes to the use of the army... we would probably never use it since honestly, I don’t believe we would need it at all. So just take it easy and trust us." By the end of his words, the CEO ugly’s face seemed very trustworthy, however, on the contrary, for some reason, it made the President even more anxious and scared to sign the contract.

’Damn it, I just want the cure! Why am I being forced to sign that unreasonable contract with the childish promise of a new era...’ This thought passed through his head as he voiced, "Is there really no other way for this to work? I’m sure we could find lots of other ways and methods with which the country would be able to help your company in a lot of ways!" The President made his last effort with an almost begging tone, though he was aware that it would be probably completely fruitless.

"Aiii... you’re still saying it, how many times do I have to say this, NO! Don’t ask me again... The chairman was very explicit with his orders and I have no say in it." Wearing an annoyed and apologetic face at the same time, the CEO ugly declared.

"Huh... I see... in that case... can’t I at least meet your chairman and try convincing him instead?" He inquired.

"Oh... believe me when I say this... if you had met the chairman himself... then the situation would’ve been much worse than this... trust me, the least he would’ve asked for would’ve been straight away half of the United States! And I’m talking about the least I anticipate here... so just stop with this already and thank the God it’s me instead." Added the CEO ugly.

"Hmm... Really? Ah..." He queried while looking suspiciously at the CEO ugly.

"I have nothing to gain by lying to you... moreover, the chairman is not around at the moment, so you can’t meet him either way."

"I see... okay then... I will agree to sign the contract, however, at least... let’s make the terms in the contract less harsh... you can at least agree to that, right?" Understanding the CEO ugly and the person behind him were determined to have the contract and also, since he understood they had to sign the contract no matter what in order to survive, left with no cards to play, he decided to make an effort toward making the contract’s terms less harsh instead of making a vain effort on trying to persuade them to forget about the contract completely.

"I’m really sorry but that’s not negotiable either. Oh, also, if you remember... there was a term in the previous contract which stated you only had seven days before signing the contract or else it would expire... and it’s already been more than seven days... so that one is just a piece of useless paper now." Shaking his head, the CEO ugly rejected before continuing, "Honestly... if it was before, the chairman was determined that if the country didn’t sign the contract in a week... we would leave it at that and no longer ever give you any more opportunities, however, since I really empathize with what the country’s going through right now... I decided to give America another chance without any permission... however, since I’m doing this without permission from the chairman, I need to add something to the contract so the chairman won’t be angry with me when he finds out. So, I hope you understand, Mr. President."

Hearing this, the President’s eyes really turned red as imaginary tears began to pour down from his face as he thought while crying, ’Uwuuuuu, I shouldn’t have tried to make the terms less harsh... I should’ve just agreed to sign it! Fuck meee and this useless mouth of mine!’ However, outside, he mouthed in a pitiful tone, "Mr. Greg, I did wrong okay? I won’t ask you to make the terms less harsh again, alright? So please just forget about what I said previously and spare me."

However, seeing this pitiful side of the President which appeared to be somehow cute to the CEO ugly’s eyes, he could no longer hold it in as he cracked up, "Pffft! Puwahahaha... Mr. President, I didn’t say that because of what you said previously... am I really that kind of person in your eyes? This was decided long before the meeting had even started... so I’m really sorry...I have no other choice either because my ass is on the line here."

"How about this, Mr. Greg... you forget about adding more beneficial terms in the contract... and I would owe you a huge favor!" The President stated with a serious face.

’A huge favor, huh... well, whatever... since this might give you the illusion that we backed off a little too... and like that, you also wouldn’t return empty-handed just to be blamed, haha.’ As this thought passed through his head, the CEO ugly proclaimed while nodding his head, "Ok."

’So you were that kind of person after all!’ Yelled the President internally, while he did the opposite externally since he didn’t want any more troubles, "Thank you, Mr. Greg... I won’t ever forget this favor."

’Sigh... I would never ever forget it even in my grave... since this was the time I was tricked into owing a huge favor!’

With a short laugh, the source of which was unclear as to whether he was laughing to mock or to show his happiness reverberated from the CEO ugly’s mouth, as he elaborated, "Haha... no problem, no problem... please don’t mention it, however, I have to remind you that even though I won’t be adding any clauses exclusively for the benefit of our own company... the terms which are necessary to be mentioned regarding the trade of ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’ are already added to the contract... but let me tell you this beforehand... it’s not what you think it is... because every clause is absolutely for the benefit of the country itself since we are going to be in a very close relationship from now on... so we won’t be treating the country badly or unfairly at all... "

Afterward, his face abruptly became extremely sincere as he delineated further, "To be exact, from now on, we would be treating it like family and offer you tons of other benefits as time passes! Like with the case of this ’Ai Virus 001: The Savior’... we would be selling it to the United States of America at half the price of what we’re going to be selling to the other countries at the expense of our own loss..."

"Rob, give Mr. President the new contract! Let him see for himself..." Then, in a happy face, he looked at the Legal ugly who was still wearing his poker face as he hadn’t uttered a word throughout the whole conversation to this moment.

’So you haven’t even added those beneficial terms you talked about at all... and you shamelessly claimed that it was decided long before the meeting had even begun!’ For some reason, this was the only thing that the President could infer and think of after hearing the CEO ugly’s speech.

Following what the CEO ugly had articulated, still as poker as before, the Legal ugly reached out as he placed the contract on the table in front of them, before leaning back once again, seemingly lost in his own world like before.

Seeing the contract placed on the table, the president leaned forward in all seriousness as he picked the contract and immediately began reading it word by word.

Then, around fifteen minutes later, he realized that just like the CEO ugly had stated previously, the clauses named inside the contract were exactly the same as before until it arrived to clause thirteen, which was the ending point of the previous contract, however, at this point, a frown sat on his face as he was reminded of something very important while he was reading the contract, something he had been ignoring until now.
