Dinner was over, Ke Lun and others had left, leaving only Xia Ye still sitting at the dining table.
She needed to think about something.
Night is about to fall. There is no sun in this world, so there is no morning glow or sunset glow. The light yellow sky gradually darkens evenly until it completely turns into a deep blue that is almost black.
With the light still remaining in the sky, she raised her hand and looked at her wrist again.
The wrist is so white that it is almost transparent, and the thin light blue blood vessels are looming. On this delicate skin, there are several lines of witch characters neatly arranged.
The bottom line is the confidentiality agreement she and Curran just signed.
She opened the agreement again and confirmed the terms:
Article 8.1 If either party to the contract voluntarily discloses the above content, it will be deemed as an active breach of the agreement, and the active breacher shall pay liquidated damages in accordance with Articles 9.1 to 9.5.
Article 8.2 If either party to the contract discloses the above content due to force majeure, it will be deemed as a passive breach of the agreement. The passive breacher does not need to pay any liquidated damages, but the breach will be [immediately] informed by the other party.
——When the confidentiality agreement was first formed, there was only one clause in Clause 8.
But after Curran gave the hint, Clause 8 has become Clauses 8.1 and 8.2.
Obviously, the focus is on clause 8.2.
Wrong theory…
The attitude of shareholders...
Obligation to Disclose...
Xia Ye felt that she was gradually touching what Ke Lun wanted to hint to her.
Blood…
An inch-long gash suddenly opened on the white wrist, and bright red blood flowed from the wound and down the slender arm.
The wound was horizontal, just across the few witch characters representing the confidentiality agreement, like a strikethrough.
...Was this the original notification method? Xia Ye thought to herself.
She ignored the bleeding and clicked on the agreement. As expected, the status of the agreement had changed from "Effective" to "Contractor has passively breached the contract."
The person who made the contract is Xia Ye, and the person who made the contract is Ke Lun.
This shows that Curran has been forced to tell others about the discovery of the belugas.
"Xiu Ji, come and help me stop the bleeding."
Xia Ye put her wrists flat on the dining table.
"Okay meow~"
The black cat that was wandering nearby jumped on the table, brought its head close, and licked Xia Ye's wounds with its tongue. Unlike a real cat, Xiuji's tongue had no barbs and felt cold and smooth. Emerald green lines appeared on her skin, but then quickly became lighter, and the corrosive power was being rejected by her skin.
"Don't reject it."
Xia Ye recited silently in her heart. The color of the texture immediately began to recover and it quickly stabilized again.
With the help of the erosion ability, the wound quickly stops bleeding. In return for stopping the bleeding, Xiuji licked the blood off his wrist.
"Speaking of which, this is the first time I've eaten my master's blood. It's very delicious," the black cat said.
"Even if you say so, I don't want to bleed all the time. It will hurt."
Fortunately, witches are egg-laying creatures, so they don't have to worry about regular bleeding.
As Xia Ye said this, she put the black cat on top of her head again, started the broom, and flew in the direction of Debsotta.
She was ready to go back. Tomorrow morning, the Moby Dick will arrive in port with the beluga in tow.
…
It was almost dark when Curran returned to the Far Boat Charter.
"Chairman Curran."
The sound came from not far away. Curran turned his head slightly and saw 704 wearing a silver mask standing a few meters away. There was no one there just now.
"It's almost 8 o'clock, haven't you got off work yet?" Curran asked.
"We can even work all night if necessary." 704 replied.
"Then you are really a good employee. If everyone in my company works as hard as you, 'Ocean Ship Charter' may have become 'Bafuriya'."
"Okay, Chairman Kelen, don't change the subject. You know what I'm here to do with you. Please answer my question: According to our contract, do you have any information that should be disclosed but has not been disclosed to shareholders? ?”
Curran looked at her quietly, and after a while said: "According to the relevant disclosure terms, I only need to complete the disclosure within three working days, and it will not be considered a violation of the contract."
"But there are also provisions that stipulate that when shareholders take the initiative to inquire, you are obliged to answer truthfully immediately." 704 said aggressively.
"..." Curran did not respond.
"Answer me, Curran, don't force me to use the contract."
Curran remained as silent as a sculpture.
704's patience was finally exhausted, and the syllables of the Witch's text sounded from beneath the silver mask:
"DscLsr"
Black flames suddenly appeared at Curran's wrists, burning the multi-layered cuffs to ashes in the blink of an eye. They spread quickly, quickly burning out the entire sleeves, and spreading towards the body. Curran raised his prosthetic hand, pinched the black flame, and quickly extinguished the flame.
But the power of the covenant is still in effect.
Starting from the right wrist, flame-shaped black lines spread on the fair skin. In an instant, they covered the arms, crossed the shoulders, and expanded towards the girl's face and body.
This time, nothing could stop them. Under the skirt, they quickly invaded the chest and abdomen, and extended out from under the skirt along the thighs. The lines running up her neck have covered half of the girl's face, making her cute face look a little ferocious.
Curran felt the familiar pain. This torture-like pain is unbearable the first time you experience it, but after more times, it is no longer so terrible.
In intense pain, she laughed:
"Hehehe... Hahahaha... Why are you so anxious? What are you worried about? What are you afraid of, Seventy-Four? In other words, what are you Venture Capital Department Seven afraid of? Hahahahahahaha..."
The laughter stopped abruptly.
The black lines finally invaded every inch of the girl's skin, but then they disappeared. Instead, dozens of extremely thin black threads appeared on the girl's body, each thread passing through a joint and The joints are tied securely.
These threads extended to very high altitudes, blending into the sky that had turned dark blue. Although they could no longer be seen with the naked eye, Curran knew that they all extended to the east, which is the direction of the uptown area.
She could no longer move, couldn't control herself to speak or not speak, couldn't even control her sight. The girl with gray hair and black skirt seemed to have turned into a beautiful puppet, and could only move under the pull of those silk threads.
"Chairman Curran, let's start our routine disclosure now."
"..." The girl nodded mechanically.
The masked witch chuckled. She stretched out her hand and pressed it on her side. A mirror that was taller than a person appeared out of thin air. She pushed the mirror open like a door, and a room with only black, white and gray appeared in front of her.
The facilities in the room are extremely simple, with only a table and two chairs.
"Come in, Chairman Curran."
The girl walked into the room step by step, followed by the masked witch, and closed the mirror.
In the square outside the "Yuan Ship Rental", the two people immediately disappeared without a trace.
In the room, Curran was sitting on a chair. She opened her mouth and her tone was mechanical and dull, completely different from her usual speaking style:
"On December 12, the company learned about information related to 'Beluga whales and beluga whale ecology', which may have a significant impact on the company's operations. According to contract clauses 52.1 to 52.11, the relevant matters are disclosed as follows..."
